(CBS) Chris Brown returned to the Grammy Awards with a bang Sunday night. The pop and R&B singer hasn't been asked back to the annual ceremony since he assaulted then-girlfriend Rihanna right before the 2009 Grammys.

But on Sunday, Brown gave an enthusiastic, dance-heavy performance of "Turn Up the Music," the first single from his upcoming fifth album.

Brown, 22, went into the event with three nominations, including best R&B album and best rap song. He accepted the the best R&B album trophy for his album, "F.A.M.E."

Rihanna also appeared at this year's Grammys, taking the stage to perform with Coldplay.

He's got something going on with the light show, perfect for Cirque du Soleil. Let's hope that he doesn't hit anybody with the Grammy he won for best B&B...; Reply to this comment
