Next Big Thing: Chris Brown
![]() |
CHRIS BROWN
Déjà Who? Much like his idol Usher, Brown combined slick dance moves, catchy hip-hop hooks and a flirty ladies' man persona to score a smash single ("Run It," which hit No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100). He even appeared on the soundtrack for In the Mix, costarring – who else? – Usher.
Where You've Seen Him: Brown, 17, has tried his hand at acting, appearing on The O.C. and making his movie debut in Stomp the Yard.
The Song: Check out Brown's sweet R&B confection, "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)," from his self-titled debut disc.
