Chris Brown and Rihanna debut new music videos...

Just in case you didn't know that Chris Brown hit Rihanna back in February, the two music stars released videos on Friday to remind you.

Rihanna's video for her single "Russian Roulette", features her being killed by various men, guns, cars, etc. She is standing brave in the face of violence yet also seems to enjoy feeling sorry for herself. It's like re-watching the past 9 month Chris Brown saga in 5 boring, laborious minutes. The blatant imagery is nauseating. There's a difference between speaking out on violence against women (like she did on 20/20) and using it for entertainment. AND her hair is out-of-control! What was she thinking?

Chris Brown's new single is called "Crawl". The video features a no-apologies Rihanna look-alike who has left Chris for bigger and better things. He spends the video trying to make things right without ever admitting what he did to make her leave. Sound familiar? It should. That's exactly how Brown has acted through the whole debacle. Although he has some good moves and the video moves along nicely, the song is about having to crawl for forgiveness, but Brown has done nothing to deserve it.

WEZ Sez:
Rihanna "Russian Roulette" - Sugar Free - Bad song and over-indulgent music video.
Chris Brown "Crawl" - Mixed Bag - Good song and entertaining video, but doesn't work as an apology.
