the critics Askmen: “Rihanna's sudden and meteoric rise made 'American Idol' hopefuls look like seasoned crooners who had spent a decade on the road before hitting the big time. A native of the island of Barbados, Rihanna lived an average life and barely even dreamed of show business before she was discovered in late 2003." Allmusic: “She quickly became a sensation, gracing the covers of magazines and dominating urban radio. Ashanti built her reputation with duets, where she would complement an already popular rapper, contrasting the tough-guy male perspective with her own. It didn't take the young vocalist long to make a name for herself."

Chris Brown's most popular video collaborations

Chris Brown is on fire. Blessed with good looks and radiating the charisma that has earned him comparisons to Michael Jackson, the 19-year-old singer-dancer has already earned two platinum albums. But he didn't do it alone. From his beginnings as a small-town song and dance prodigy to his current pop superstar status, Breezy has never been afraid to share the spotlight.

Here's a look at Chris Brown's most popular video collaborations:

"Run It" featuring Juelz Santana:

In 2005, Chris Brown was an unknown 16-year-old from Tappahannock, Virginia when he dropped "Run It!," a high-octane club jam featuring Dipset's Juelz Santana. The single, reminiscent of Usher's Dirty South Yeah, was number one in the U.S. for five weeks.

"Gimme That" (Remix) featuring Lil Wayne:

After following "Run It!" with the puppy love ballad Yo (Excuse Me Miss), Brown decided to move butts and hearts with "Gimme That." Lil Wayne shows up on the remix to kick one of his signature so-lazy-it's-good verses.

"Kiss Kiss" featuring T-Pain:

Brown's self-titled 2005 debut spawned three top ten singles. Two years later, on "Kiss Kiss," the second single from his second album, Exclusive, Brown enlisted the help of T-Pain, the commercial genius behind "Buy U a Drank" and "Bartender" featuring Akon. Well played, Breezy, well played.

"Shawty Get Loose" by Lil Mama:

In early 2008, Chris Brown reunited with T-Pain to guest on Lil Mama's "Shawty Get Loose," an electric track that finds Brown and Teddy P switching things up: T-Pain drops a rap verse while Breezy adds a vocoder&B chorus between Lil Mama's rapid-fire flow.

"No Air" by Jordin Sparks:

By the time Chris Brown teamed up with American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, he already had two back-to-back hits under his belt. With her second single, "No Air," Brown chalked up another hit and Sparks reached number one on the Billboard chart.
