The 21-year-old R&B and pop singer started the performance by dancing a flawless “Moonwalk" to some of Jackson’s songs, but broke down in tears while singing "Man in the Mirror" on the stage.
Later, Brown returned to the stage to accept the AOL Fandemonium Award. The singer, who was charged with felony assault on his girlfriend and R&B singer Rihanna in 2009, apologized to his fans, "I let you all down before, but I won't do it again, I promise you."
