Chris Brown
Chris Brown promised his return to music would consist of two singles: his Swizz Beatz-produced, Lil Wayne-featured hit “I Can Transform Ya” and a ballad (although he tweeted “ballet.” Oh, Christopher!) called “Crawl.”
I’ll admit it, I was a bit disappointed by “I Can Transform Ya.” Not that it didn’t totally make me want to get up and dance, as any good CB single guarantees to do, but I didn’t see it as a representation of growth from his last studio effort, 2007′s Exclusive, to his forthcoming album, Graffiti, currently estimated to debut in early 2010.
“Crawl” changes all of that. It takes CB above and beyond his strictly R&B chart counterparts and back into the race with the crossover superstars. “Everybody sees it’s you/I’m the one that lost the view/Everybody says we’re through/I hope you haven’t said it too,” Chris opens the song, excreting the emotions of his heartbroken soul.
Brown’s voice soars over the powerful chorus: “If we crawl til we can walk again/then we’ll run until we’re strong enough to jump…so lets crawl back to love.”
There’s no doubt “Crawl” is a hit. When talent meets a song this incredible, there’s no way turmoil can keep him down. Call it a comeback — Chris Brown’s officially back.

god i love it, it has a pop element to it. he is the best. he is back
I love it! Go Chris! Team CB! :)
iam crying this is the best song of my life
i would like to beg to differ on ICTY..its nothing like what chris has done before..actually it took him to a different level hence initially many if his fans did not like it because they did not understand it..it was a different chris..some to this day still dnt like it..for me it represented a chris who was willing to try out something different and it worked.
now when it comes to crawl, that is something you would expect from chris brown..his voice though has matured coz to be honest when i heard the demo i was a little afraid for him..it represents growth for me only when it comes to the voice and how he delivered it coz initially i felt it would be too big for him but i was wrong..well done breezy and i am so in love with it!!! i like the man he is developing into and this is a smash!!!…
chris breezy is back thanks tj. he is baccccccccccccccccccck
he is back, he is the king of rnb n pop
no doubt grammy award song of the year, the talent is amazing
where are the haters now, he is back, better than ever
I agree this is a great POP song – I however detest the fact that to be a GREAT RnB artist, you have to ‘cross over’. That is exactly why today we have NO great RnB. The love of one of the purest, most heartfelt music genre’s has been given up for the sake of cross over money. It’s sad and it’s even sadder when someone like the writer of this article, makes it sound like it’s BETTER to be a cross over artist, rather than a true RnB artist. Chris went straight to number one with Run IT and he’s never had a better song( No Air possibly, but you could hear the RnB in that).
“Crossover” doesn’t necessarily mean better, and it’s definitely not what I meant by writing it, but it most certainly means your audience is broader. That’s been the goal for Chris and his team since day one with “Run It,” and they want it even more for his return. They don’t want to see him just pull in good numbers on the R&B/Hip Hop chart. They want him high on the Hot 100 and pop charts. This song will put him there for sure.
good..I like it! Good sound!
Here’s the hater. I hate this song. It’s no where near as good as Rihanna’s and releasing a day after hers seems to be an act of desperation to counter that song’s impact. Rihanna’s song is much more of an event.
Also, it infuriates me to hear this swan song coming from a domestic abuser. Isn’t this the type of shit that every woman in an abusive relationship hears to woo them back in before it all begins again?
He should have waited until next year to release an album, and slowly guested on songs. This is a disaster.
YOU DUMB AS HELL IF ITS A DISASTER SO STOP HATIN PLEAAZZ CUZ JUS BECAUSE OF WAT HAPPENED DON’T MEAN NOTHIN CHRIS’S NEW SONG IS GUDD AND HIS ALBUM WILL BE EVEN BETTER SO JUS STOP CUZ HE DONT HAVE T2O SIT back an let rhianna’s crazy as one-a-b gud gurl gone bad lookin really retarded in all those new videos make her money and he cant make his so stop hatin and get wit it or step the hell backkk………….!!!!!

Crap, horrible, another #50 on Itunes that no one will care about this wannabe wife beater and shit shitty over modulated “voice.” I’m sure Britney will hire him as a back up dancer.

chris you can crawl? my way anyday!!!
Lovee the song! it reminds me of me and mii boooooooooo! Chris is DEFINATELY backk… furr sureeee! without a doubt. Crawl is my song.. it is soo gorgeous how he says
“Lets crawl.. till we can walk again. then we’ll run..until we’re strong enough to jump. then we’ll fly until there is no wind. so lets crawl back to love!” that is the cutest thing. sometimes i wish my boyfriend would think that way. =( but ya’know.. not every guy is as sweet as chris. i know that chris regrets what he did to rihanna. we need to give him a second chance. AND FOR ANYONE WHO SAW THE RIHANNA INTERVIEW….. she told a half truth. she did not tell the whole truth about what happened. and yu can tell. she only told what chris did, but not what she did to provoke him. and THAT AINT RIGHT! we all know that she just tryna ruin his career cuz she waited till chris got his new songs, the concerts, and stuff to come out and speak. WTFF? no rihanna…not cool. and her new song. ohkay, wtf,omg.. what is yu gon shoot him now? “so just pull the triger” hmm.. sounds like someone holds some type of animosity towards chris. and it shouldnt have to be that way. but ya’know…… she kinda made it seem like she was gonna get back with him one day sooner or later when diane asked her is she ever thought they would get back together or somethin like that. and rihanna said soomethin like i dunno. i cant predict the future.. im not god. so i dont know. WTF? ohkay.. soo rihanna yu may as well have just said yes. cuz yu and everyone else in this world knows that if yu really didnt want to be with someone as much as yu say yu do… yu woulda been like oh H noo..me and chris are NO MORE! nuhh uhh… never again. i will not be getting back with chris… ever. thats what yu woulda said but yu didnt.. so obviously yu want chris. and its ohkay! i mean.. its ohkay. gosh. yu dont gotta act a certain way and say things that yu dont mean just because yu know thats what the people of the world would like to hear. i mean geese.
and ya’know….. chris deserves a second chance. and its our job as CB fans to give him that second chance! sooo i mean.. YAAAAAAAY CHRIS! and i CANT WAIT TILL NOVEMBER 22nd! YIPPEEEEEEEEE HORAAAAY! I WILL BE AT THE CHRIS BROWN AND NEWBOYZ CONCERT.. FURRRR SUREEEEEE!!!!!! CANT WAIT!
dang gurl yu wrote alot buht i do agree wiht yu cuzz i do luvv crawl by chris brown dat mii songg i luv listenin to it too..
Chris … his music is universal, so much that I live in Brazil can be Considered is your number 1 fan for sure, I have about 150 songs and music from their albums and their songs were not spears. Man, if you’re doing a show here in Brazil, which do in Sao Paulo, that only I’ll be happy all my life if only I can see you. You do not know me. Be aware that I model myself on you and that you faiz share of about 70% of my life, and that you already moves and shook her more. nóis is still expensive and this magnificent and talented person who you are and I know you are!
