HIS name can gather hundreds of people in one venue. His songs can hypnotize everyone to sing along. And, of course, his sexy dance moves can make fans scream their lungs out.

Your typical boy next door? Hardly. In fact, if you think about it, there’s something vaguely superhuman about Chris Brown. Consider:

HE’S ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH FOR SOMEONE SO YOUNG. He signed with Jive Records at the age of 15, came out with a self-titled debut album that topped the charts and sold millions of CDs that broke records, thanks to hits such as the totally addicting “Run It.”

The first album was a smashing success, but Brown’s second album called Exclusive proves he’s sounding better than ever in hits like “Kiss, Kiss,” “Wall to Wall,” “Take You Down,” and “With You.”

HE’S TEAMING UP WITH ALL THE BIG NAMES. Apart from working with industry biggies such as will.i.am, Bow Wow, Lil Wayne and T-Pain, Brown has also sung duets with the very promising Keri Hilson (“Superhuman”) and American Idol winner Jordin Sparks (“No Air”). And let’s not forget Rihanna with whom the singer has recorded “Umbrella/Cinderella.” There are even talks of the two recording another song together, the “Umbrella” singer reportedly asking Jay-Z to look for a killer beat for them.

HE’S GOT THE MOVES. Search for his live performances on YouTube—especially his unforgettable number at the 2007 MTV VMAs—and you’ll see how immensely graceful, flexible and swift-moving Brown is. So impressive are his dance routines that people are comparing him both to Michael Jackson and Usher!

HE ALSO ACTS AND MODELS. Not only is he blessed in the singing and dancing departments, Brown is also an actor who has appeared in TV shows such as “The OC” and UPN’s “One on One” and movies like “Stomp the Yard” and “This Christmas.” As a model, he was part of the “I Will Not Lose” campaign of Rocawear.

HE HAS HIS OWN SUPERGIRL. With singing superstar Rihanna as a close friend—and maybe even more as reports suggest—who says you can’t have it all?

HE HAS A HEART OF GOLD. This guy’s best superpower is probably his ability to share his blessings. Not only did he give $50,000 from his 2006 “Up Close & Personal” tour to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the entertainer also recently helped promote the Math-A-Thon fundraiser to benefit the hospital.

With all this, make sure you’re at the biggest back-to-back concert in the Philippines this year: Rihanna and Chris Brown Live in Taguig!

Brought to the country by Globe and MTV Philippines and co-presented by McDonald’s and Samsung, the one-night-only concert finally takes place tomorrow, Nov. 16, at the Bonifacio Global City Open Field.
