Behind the Video: Chris Brown – ‘Turn Up the Music’
Chris Brown worked up a sweat on set of the video for “Turn Up the Music,” which he co-directed with Godfrey Tabarez. The adrenaline was pumping as Breezy performed highly-choreographed routines in a warehouse surrounded by dancers in animal costumes. He strutted in a suit, splashed in the rain, raved at a techno party, and danced in the streets.
“We wanted to make sure that people, when they watch this, they feel like they’re in this video,” explained Tabarez. “We wanted to give it personality, we wanted to make it fun, we wanted everybody to see this and wish they were there.”
Breezy calls the video his best work yet. “I’ll let you guys judge but this Turn Up the music video hands down is probably my best video by far!!!” he tweeted.

@nicole, you know it’s a shame that people can’t forgive and realize this talent. No matter what he does, he can’t catch a break.

This guys good at what he does, but I can honestly say that I can beat him in singing and dancing. He’s alright in my opinion, but nothing compared to the creativity that I have.Also, I’m pretty good looking too :D

The choreography looks bananas! The dancing in the rain is reminiscent of another great video, “U Remind Me” by Usher (personal fave of mine). You know, the part near the end of the video where Usher does the handstand with his legs making a “U”.

People WAY over use the word “EPIC” – “EPIC” is not everyday and this video appears to be just a dance video with no storyline so lets wait before we judge it MEANING lets please hold onto the word “EPIC”. << And I say that in the kindest way possible. I'm just tired of people loosely using it to describe average.

all i can say is that this SONG here ……. BUMPS.. i Love it. – wish him the MOST for 2012 man. I think people need to let the boy do his music. No they’ll never forget his dark past but let him just be the great musician and entertainer that he is man.. he has SO much to offer musically. he’s really entertaining to watch and really hopefully next grammy’s he gets several grammys
