Bull! The journalist says Rap video… funny how the white based media express the views of black performers… but in the next breath mentions Madonna in a different context.
Yes, she looks like a tart and has sold a hell of a lot more records since… well, wearing less. She remains classy on the red carpet but the concert attire is just ridiculous.
Back to the music…. i haven’t seen her live so i cant comment on that.

Forehead Fenty gets on my nerves. The only thing she’s good at is annoying me. *lol*

Every performance I’ve seen of hers has been sub par. All she does is walk up and down a damn stage and sometimes she doesn’t even do that. Her backing dancers put on more of a show than her and that shit ain’t right, surely. She needs to buy The Beyonce experience DVD as well as a couple of Madonna’s and Janet’s and watch how a chick is supposed to handle her business on stage.

…and i agree with recent posts, if u can’t dance or put on a great visual show (i.e. Ciara/Janet/Omarion/ChrisBrown/Madonna/Britney…list goes on) and not depending on ur dancers to carry a show…then u better be able to BLOW and sing in tune.

Rihanna can sing…….BUT! she needs to work on her timing, pitch, tuning… cuz she sounds SO DAMN careless at times. Watching her perform is ok (only because she’s so damn HOT) Yes i said it. Rihanna is incredibly beautiful but is that enough to keep me entertained?….

Probably.

All honesty, she just needs great marketing ….no one will even notice how off-key she sounds at times. Image is everything in this business and Ri knows how to works it! I’m all for CARRIBEANS making it, so quit bringing nationality into this (thats an easy cop out). She just needs work vocally and needs some type of performance work /stage presence and she’ll be good.

I saw Rihanna when she came to Newcastle. Her concert was highly entertaining, having a great dance routine and a strong voice. Hope Rihanna comes back to Newcastle in the near future.

Love her music but i’m always waiting for her to bring it in live performances…
she has yet to deliver & i suspect that she can’t.

I swear i’m not a hater but as a pop artist if you can’t bring it live then its no good.

It’s sad for me to say this, but since Rihanna’s success with ‘Umbrella’ i’ve taken closer notice of her live performances and I have to agree…..
She falls flat, it’s like watching a girl prance around in her bedroom singing into a hairbrush…

There’s no artistry there.
All the other singer’s mentioned had STAGE PRESENCE…forget the ability to blow like Whitney etc, you don’t need that to be talented or mezmirizing on stage— u need personality. U need to be able to morph into characters that make people entertained or stunned (appreciative of music) NOT your LOOKS (sorry Rihanna, ur a stunner but not a superstar).

Call me a hater, but i can sit through Kelly Roland, Britney, Janet, Beyonce etc and see that theres some type of care and goal going into their performance… I can even sit through Omarion, Ciara and CB and know they PERFECTED their dance moves…felt what the music was doing.

Rihanna, i WISH to HELL i could appreciate for more than her looks and choice of clothing cuz I think she’s a charming girl….but no, i can’t….

Hopefully someone in her camp will make her develop a more believable persona on stage… so I can look at the next ‘up and coming’ and say “O…I can tell she’s influenced by Ri…” or better yet…she’s just a Rihanna wannabe…. I doubt it though.

First & foremost i DONT think Rihanna can sing!!!! I Dont even think that the Girl has stage presence……….she is boring!!! And wayyyyyyyy too Overrated!!!! Iam Not going to jump down anyones throat for their opinions but how can you compare rihanna to kelly rowland? for goodness sake Kelly CAN Sing………she just Needs the riite guidance…….Which means getting a new management team,and the best music producers and Song writers!!!! The thing about rihanna is that she has Catchy songs but when it comes to singing and performing, she SUCKZ BIGTIME. For example her performance with morris Day @ the grammy awards……..i was so excited, but she was so stiff with that big ass STACK OF HAY she called a DRESS!!!!!!it seemed to me she was too busy trying to be cute than entertaining the audience!!! If i had to choose whether to pay money to see beyonce Or rihanna in concert..i would choose Beyonce because Not only can she sing BUt she is a Damn good Entertainer and i know my money aint goin down the drain!!!!!!!!!!
