Last year Banks shocked [some of] the world with his HFM2 album so we're heavily anticipating CC2, his next full-length offering.

Chris Brown Stirs Up Frenzy On <i>F.A.M.E.</i> Tour

TeamBreezy came out in droves on Friday for star's New York stop at Nassau Coliseum.

UNIONDALE, New York — If there's one place where Chris Brown escapes the nimbus cloud of unfortunate headlines that often threatens to rain down on him, it's the stage. He proved that emphatically when he touched down Friday night at New York's Nassau Coliseum (capacity 18,000), the midway mark on his F.A.M.E. Tour.

Away from his Twitter account, even the hidden dangers of his iPhone, Breezy cleared the brush of his personal distractions, and was simply sublime onstage. Rather than calling to mind his pop&B peers, Brown conjured a late Pop King who also battled bad press during his lifetime.

Such is Brown's command that, four albums to his credit, now even the songs on which he's only featured seem to become his own. Suited up in a jacket and tuxedo pants embellished with spangly trim, Chris laid into the hook that turns Ace Hood's "Body 2 Body" from sexy to downright sensual, and had the moves to match. The Coliseum performance space was expansive and divided into three tiers, connected by a series of steps and ladders, with a series of five oversize cylinders at the base, and overhead, a large screen that projected CB music videos as well as a running concert skit that had fans peeking at suggestive messages sent from the star's phone to the squealing girls amassed in the crowd. ("Can I see you tonight?" one of them read.)

He rinsed off and repeated the same feat for his song-stealing chorus on Big Sean's bottle-clinking "My Last," stalking the stage like an MC.

By the time Chris got to the slightly aggressive bedroom ballad "No BS," the white dress shirt and jacket were off, and the squealing had reached fever-pitch. What is it about C.Breezy? Maybe it's that he's right at that moment where he's balancing late-adolescent energy (Brown seemed to bounce on the balls of his feet, his Jordans never quite touching ground) with budding manhood, but he managed to find the perfect dose of sweetness for the down-on-bended-knee songs like "All Back," "She Ain't You" and "Next to You," and then just the right amount of swagger for hard-hitting, dance-heavy hits like "Yeah 3X" and "Look At Me Now."

Chris' tenor is increasingly rich, and on songs from early in his catalog like "With You," he sounded as heartbreakingly sincere (maybe more so) as he does on the 2007 recording. For his Jordin Sparks-assisted "No Air," CB asked the ladies to step in for the onetime "American Idol" winner; they were so good with the lyrics, he paused several times, beaming and cocking his head appreciatively.

"Y'all tired?" he asked the howling fans after tourmate and frequent collaborator Tyga re-emerged for "Deuces" and a thunderous take on the Young Money up-and-comer's "Snapbacks Back" (itself a takeoff of Meek Mill and Rick Ross' spine-tingling "Tupac Back"). "I'm just asking," Breezy laughed in his Virginia drawl, "Y'all want some water?"

Far from tired, the TeamBreezy-devoted, which had basically given up sitting, were fully dancing in the aisles as Brown's troupe of pros — donning a variety of costumes, from Jabbawockeez-style masks to yearbook-worthy Varsity jackets — showed up for nearly 90-minutes' worth of straight street dancing. But they truly elevated the art form during the show-closing "Beautiful People," a transcendent (seriously, listen to it) electro-flavored Benny Benassi production. With the audience bathed in lasers, Chris' floor team, clad in Martian-meets-mummy-style L.E.D. suits, lit up alternately in florescent light patterns. Brown, illuminated himself, descended the multilevel stage and joined them for one of the finest breakdowns in recent memory.

If the F.A.M.E. singer isn't the finest R&B performer of our generation, he's certainly gunning for the title. Think MJ would be proud.

Apart from getting super assists from Tyga and fellow opener T-Pain, who rolled out his radio smashes on Friday, Kelly Rowland made it a co-ed affair. The former Destiny's Child princess was on one Friday night: Flanked by a gang of muscled male dancers, she powered through DC smashes, her hip-hop features ("Dilemma") and solo smashes. Motivation, indeed.

What did you think of the F.A.M.E. Tour? Tell us in the comments!

Kanye West's Fashion Show 'Monumental,' Ciara Says

Kanye West finally unveiled his much-discussed womenswear line Saturday night (October 1) with a high-profile show at Paris Fashion Week that was as full of eye-catching designs as it was celebs.

From Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour to actress Lindsay Lohan, the stars were on full display for West's show. Minutes after 'Ye took his bow, we spoke to Ciara, who phoned MTV News from backstage to give us her take on the collection. And, yes, she was impressed with what she saw.

"It was amazing. The clothes, the feeling in the room, the energy backstage -- it really feels special," she said. "It was definitely one of the most talked-about events [of Paris Fashion Week], because it wasn't going to be your typical show. This doesn't happen every day, and to see someone like Kanye, who aspires to succeed in fashion, to get so much respect and cross over like this, it was monumental. It was an historic moment."

While she was amazed by the fashion community's embracing of West, Ciara was quick to point out that she was just as struck by his designs, singling out a few favorite looks.

"I loved the pants, the color-blocking and the orange, I loved the fur accessories, I loved the black dresses," she said. "There was a lot of attitude. It was strong, sexy ... I loved it. I kept seeing looks that made me think, 'Oh my God, I want that.' "

Just before she phoned MTV News, Ciara had a chance to speak with West backstage, congratulating him on a job well done. As she was getting ready to head out into the night ("There's definitely an afterparty," she laughed), she also took a moment to reflect on (and draw inspiration from) what she had just witnessed.

"I saw Kanye after, and I told him it was amazing. But there was so much chaos backstage -- good chaos, of course. He was excited, and it was just so much good energy," she said. "And now, I'm walking away from this being inspired. He continues to inspire me with everything that he does. And tonight was definitely a moment."

Kanye West made his Paris Fashion Week debut Saturday night (October 1), launching a womenswear line with a high-profile show that was sexy, swaggering and, of course, incredibly stylish.

Before an audience that included fashion heavyweights like Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour, designer Alexander Wang and photographer Terry Richardson -- not to mention celebs like Lindsay Lohan, Jared Leto and Ciara -- West paraded a host of different looks, from daringly cut dresses and color-block pants to body-hugging tracksuits and high-end hoodies.

West draped his models in flowing fabrics, leather and fur, propped them up on beaded stilettos and even gave each a matching "Yeezi" nameplate chain to wear on the catwalk. And for an artist to whom subtlety is often a foreign concept, West displayed an unerring attention to the tiny details, as evidenced by the collection's artfully beaded ensembles, knitted tops and even fur-covered backpacks -- all of which had the crowd murmuring with approval.

For a more detailed account of all the looks, check out the MTV Style blog, which was in attendance and kept a running diary of West's fashion debut.

Though it was his first-ever showing, West's bow was also one of the most-hyped events of Paris' annual fashion week, with bloggers hyping stories that he had spent 14,000 pounds on fabric and trimmings at London haberdasheries and speculating that his show would feature only the models he mentioned in his song "Christian Dior Denim Flow." The actual location for the show was kept a closely guarded secret, with invitations being mailed the day before the event, a move that only further added to the frenzy.

And given the buildup, it seemed only natural (and, in keeping with Fashion Week tradition) for West to start his show some 45 minutes after the supposed 9:30 p.m. start time. But that didn't seem to bother those lucky enough to gain entry into Paris' Lycee Henri IV (a posh secondary school taken over by West's team for the event), who chatted beneath soft purple lighting while waiting for the first models to walk.

At show's end, West emerged to applause, wearing a simple white T-shirt, black pants and a pair of Jordans. After taking his bow, he posed for photos backstage with his models, and speculation began that his collection (which doesn't yet have a name) might actually be called Yeezi, as the nameplates seemed to hint.
