In his first major performance since pleading guilty to once count of felony assault against his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in June, Chris reportedly followed openers The-Dream, Fabolous, Day26, Trey Songz, Keri Hilson and Mario with a set including his new single, "I Can Transform Ya," as well as "Wall To Wall," "Gimme That" and "With You" before closing with "Forever."

Chris took the stage in a sparkling red and black outfit reminiscent of his idol Michael Jackson's "Thriller"-era style, an homage to the late pop star. The set reportedly featured "high-powered dancing," with Chris showing off his moves alongside backing dancers in motorcycle helmets.

Other stars at the performance told MTV News they were glad to see Chris back on stage.

"Chris is a performer. In spite of all that's been going on in his personal life, he's gonna get out there and perform," Trey Songz said. "I'm confident in that. As a friend, as a brother, I wanna see him go out there and shut it down. I believe everybody deserves a second chance. In God's eyes, none of us are perfect, and he forgives us every day. He deserves a second chance, and I commend Power 105 for giving it to him."

Producer Polow Da Don also praised Brown's return to the stage.

"Excuse my French, but that muthaf***in' boy killed that s***!" he said. "The energy was crazy. You could tell that's something that's missing in the game. He's the absolute truth. He's the future."

    Chris is a mega-loser, a true scum of the earth. Beating a woman is a tragedy. He's not a man, he's a %@!*# with a sack. When his music comes on, I change the station. f.... him!

    you guys sound so freakn retarded talkin about how he should be serving the community get off of the dude's balls I mean so what he hit her she deserved whatever she got in return for putting her hands on him. I don't approve of anyone hitting anyone but I was raised that if you are big enough to hit then expect to be hit back. You can say what you want but at the end of the day on

    Michele, maybe most of us are angry b/c while he is paying for his mistake, he hasn't paid enough. He should be serving the community and not back out in the limelight so fast. I do not buy that he believes what he did was wrong, he's just trying to get things over with.

    Sorry monkey, I was sticking to the abuse Michael went through with his father, which I assume was physical just as Chris posed on Rihanna. But you have a point. I'm just not comfortable when ANY celebrity still gets recognized for their fame after their criminal charges especially if they plead guilty. It's not just Brown.

    Fl Angel......Ummm, wasn't Michael accused of sexual child abuse? And wasn't he suffering from drug abuse? Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Michael too, but let's not pretend he was a saint.
