Artists Rihanna and Chris Brown perform at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas, September 9, 2007
Wall to Wall/Umbrella/Beat It Medley-ish
Chris Brown didn't appear to be singing either, but at least his dancing was energetic. Emerging from a vaudeville theater diorama in a Charlie Chaplin 'stache and bowler, he bounced around the stage's lit-up pillars like Q-Bert. For a moment, the performance seemed to be building to a crescendo, but then Rihanna (who later won Video of the Year) came out and sang a wisp of a chorus from Umbrella before disappearing so Brown could dance around to the opening of Beat It. This performance brought to you by Mad Libs.
