Chris Brown Performs "X," "Loyal" on 'The Tonight Show' Before Album Release Date [WATCH]

Looking something like a strawberry in an all red outfit, complete with red tennis shoes and a red backward baseball cap, Brown actually performed all the vocals live for his little "X/Loyal" medley.

It's a wonder why he doesn't do it more often, as he clearly nailed the soaring buildup that leads to the explosive, slightly angry "I swear to God I'm moving on" refrain in the chorus. At that point, of course, Breezy and his backup dancers broke out into some skilled choreography.

Though "X" took up the vast majority of Brown's performance, he also broke out about 60 seconds of his Lil Wayne and Tyga featuring single "Loyal," moving away from the former song's relationship bite to the more bitter message that "all girls ain't loyal." (Note that he omitted "ho" for the purposes of an NBC program).
