Jordin Sparks is the latest celebrity jumping to Chris Brown’s defense following his “American Music Awards” performance snub on Sunday. Just one day after Kelly Rowland spoke out, stressing that people deserve to be forgiven, the “Tattoo” singer, who famously collaborated with Breezy on their 2008 song “No Air,” is echoing similar words as she threw her support behind Chris on Tuesday.
Jordin was spotted out and about in New York when TMZ caught up with her to ask about her thoughts on the recent drama pertaining to Chris being told his tribute to Michael Jackson at the “AMAs” had been canceled at the last minute. “We love Chris, he should have been there,” the “American Idol” winner said while signing autographs.

When asked whether people should learn how to move on from people’s past mistakes, Jordin interjected, saying that the topic at hand shouldn’t even be a conversation because it ultimately came down to Chris’ talent. The 32-year-old went on to strongly imply that his personal matters should not have influenced producers’ decision to bail on him, especially since he had already been booked to grace the stage.
Jordin sharing her thoughts about the situation comes just one day after Kelly Rowland, who had accepted Chris’ Best Male R&B Artist award during the live taping, also defended the Virginia native.
Kelly seemed rather agitated when she had to check a few group members for booing Chris’ win, and she clarified in a chat with TMZ the day after that people are human and deserve a second chance. “You know, I believe that grace is very real, and before we point fingers at anybody, we should realize how grateful we are for every moment that we get,” she expressed.

“We all need to be forgiven for anything we could be doing […] We all come up short in some sort of way. And grace is real. We are humans.”
Chris himself hasn’t touched on the drama with the “AMAs” aside from shedding light to his fans that his performance had been pulled despite the fact he had been already been rehearsing for the show with his dancers and Ciara, who was going to be the special guest he was going to honor Michael with to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his album, “Thriller.”
