We have to give it to Rihanna and her team; despite the vocal power-house’s new LP ‘Rated R’ somewhat under-performing worldwide, they are pressing on with the costly promotional efforts in support of it. Check out the Bajan beauty posing it up for the cameras at an exclusive promotional photo-call at the InterContinental Hotel during her visit to Sydney, Australia yesterday. Peep more snaps after the jump….

YOU GO RHI RHI! REPPING FOR ALL THE CARIBBEAN SISTAS! LUV YA XOXOXOXO
damn Sam!!! lmao
OMG!!!she’s so flawless!!!
Perfection!
Waits for another 100 comments, talking about Rubbish as per usual
So she’s posing, Wow wow, she looks great stunning, fab her fans/pathetic stans will say
Yawnnnnn
and I’m just hating, nah I don’t hate, I just think the b**** is overrated and got lucky, for now
Don’t like the outfit, hair style or make-up
She looks kind of odd in the pictures
They promote her FULL FORCE. It’s unheard of to promote someone this hard in the music industry. If your CD under performs….you are a flop and receive no help…..it happens to some of the best and most talented artists.
I think they’ve invested a lot of money in her, and she is well-liked at her label. Sales might eventually pick up because the’ve got her back!
hmmm…although there’s no denying that she’s a “cute” girl…odd …llama comes to mind.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ SAM…….I love this site
Hot outfit, it looks african inspired. Hate the mullet though.
can anyone answer me this question
rihanna has sold over 44million singles and 14mil albums, my friend is telling me that even though she has sold that many singles it may be generating a lot of money for her because a single cost about 99 cents (US) and 79p (UK) which brings ne to the question? in todays recession with album sales sluggering what is more important album sales or single sales?
rihanna looks nice as usual nothing new
apart from her weird looking neck, this b**** is f****** s***! she would get it!
shes on her grind too, shes been everywhere these past few months…can’t hate on that!
“what is more important album sales or single sales”
in terms of money being generated, i’d say album sales.
iirc, artists only get a few cents of a single sale.
granted, if you have enough big ones, they start adding up but a big album is better than a big single.
sam is an idiot
RIHANNA HAS SOLD WITH THIS ALBUM:
900K OUTSIDE THE US
620K IN THE US
1.5 Million TOTAL SO FAR. …..Did you say Whitneys Phenomenal Success with i LOOK TO YOU Was at 2 Million??!!!!! LOL……yeah YOURE A CONTRADICTION
ALMOST 3MILLION RUSSIAN ROULETTE SINGLES
HER SECOND WORLD SINGLE RUDE BOY:
#4 ON FRANCE ITUNES
#6 ON UK ITUNES
W/OUT BEING OFFICIALLY RELEASED YET
ANYWAY
RIHANNA WILL BE ON ELLEN AND THE TODAY SHOW MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!
@SASHA
Actually she’s at 15+ Million Albums now
Will be at 20M+Million when the RATED R era is over
NICKY why are u always so mad? when u answer like that it only gives sam and trent a laugh which makes them post more negativity. theyknow that rihanna is successful but they know that crazy stans like u just eat at their every word.
so nicky do you think forbes made a mistake leaving rihanna off the list during the gggb era she sold records like taylor swift and according to wikipedia her gggb tour made 15 mil that is why my friend was saying that she is not getting paid even though she is very successful. we are not riri haters we r proud jamaican riri fans but we are having a debate. hgow come other musical artists that are equally as successful making the list and she is not
Sells does not mean quality.
A good example : Ke$ha
Rihanna fans……I really wish I could understand why exactly you guys are the way you are…..
You know, virtually no one in the industry can sing, dance or do anything well anymore. Nothing that sells takes much effort.
Where are you Lauryn Hill? Where are you M.I.A.? Come back to me Erykah Badu (just released a new song) We miss you Amy Winehouse! Kelis……we need you!
All she is, is truly a weak, false image created by Dr. Frankenstein-like industry people that looked at the best elements of some of these people i mentioned above…and made a monster.
How don’t people see that…and why on earth do they shower her with praise for simply…standing? When she does one dance move there is all of this praise…when she sings partially on key there is all of this celebration.
I just don’t get it. She’s probably a nice person, but I just don’t get how people can actually be a fan without admitting the obvious. She isn’t real.
@ SASHA….
WHY DONT YOU POST THE SOURCE BOO! THANKS
RIHANNA GETS PAID 100K JUST TO SHOW UP TO A FASHION SHOW.
COME AGAIN BOO!
SHE WAS PAID ALMOST 500K JUST TO PERFORM FOR NEW YEARS.
I THINK YOU’RE SMOKING ON CRACK.
SAYING THAT RIHANNA ISNT PAID ? HOW MUCH DO YOU GET BOO???? YEAH, THANKS!
RIHANNA IS BUILDING HER BRAND AND IS MAKING MORE THAN 99% OF 21 YR OLDS OUT THERE.
HATERS DONT NEED ATTENTION

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5eHTfHFtoA
lmao!!!!! SINCE SHES NOT PAID ACCORDING TO SASHA,, I WONDER HOW SHE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THE MORTGAGE PAYMENTS
Sammy: “The vocal power-house?????” — Bwwwwahahahahahahahahahah!!!
Sammy, Real-Talk, you’re THAT DUDE!
(I give you “Sammy-go go,” ladies and gentlemen of TGJ)
Rihanna lookin’ …like…like….like Etta James just-after “the-Heroin!”
@Aunt Jackie – You know, I just thought ’bout that: I mean, Rihanna is probably doing some ‘freaky-s***’ to L.A. Reid, to have Def Jam support her, as they are!
…… Ah-ha! ….. NOW I “GET-IT”: She’s “swallowing L.A. Reid,” now i get it! … Now I understand it ALL! She was recently seen in Miami, with her NEW-BFF: J Lo – who must have, ‘you-know’, given HER some “pointers!” … Come-on y’all; y’all done-know that J Lo has that “well-deserved” reputation, right? … I mean, that’s why Jamie Foxx calls her “J-Ho!’
…. When Rihanna, develops that “tell-tale hissing-and-lisp in her voice”, we’ll ALL KNOW those ‘Skid-Marks’ – as the culprit(s)! … And who’d have thought that ‘Rihanna’s-THROAT’ would have gotten her – ‘THIS-FAR’ – in the music business?
… Keep up the good-work, Rihanna; if you can “master-the-gag-effect” I see a ‘bright-future’ for you in Hollywood…..
That made the news , and its being renovated!
SO NEXT TIME YOU HATERS SPEAK, KNOW THE FACTS
http://www.popeater.com/2010/02/09/rihanna-grammys/
@Nicky – “lmao!!!!! SINCE SHES NOT PAID ACCORDING TO SASHA,, I WONDER HOW SHE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THE MORTGAGE PAYMENTS??” …Nicky, YOU haven’t been reading: Rihanna and J-Lo are NEW-BFFs(J-Lo ‘done-schooled-her) Sucking and F****** – that’s how!
Not too long from now, we’re gonna hear ’bout LAPD’s Vice-Squad running ‘all-up-in-dat’ piece!
i am not saying she is not getting paid nicky we are talking artists in general not rihanna. i was asking how much does an artist get from single sales that was the debate not rihanna and since so many bloggers on this site seem to know so much that is why i asked about it. my goodness why are u so damn hostile? bringing all those facts about rihanna like i was dissing da girl. i am a fan and i have herc ds thank you so i dont know y u r attacking me. anyhow after all that u said how come she not on the forbes list and taylor swift is thats y i think the forbes list is flawed. u rihanna and beyonce stans ae crazy. geez
@Nicky you seriously need to calm down, it’s not that serious. Rihanna is successful we get it! you are crazy lol
anyway she looks cute, hair looks horrible tho
and Nicky, you talk about rihanna’s money like you are getting a joint to her account for defending her on some damn blog lmao stfu you need help
and no i’m not a rihanna hater i just think you are nuts. I actually like her to certain extent
@CUTIEGIRL
thank you I mean nicky calling me a hater. check all my comments on this blog i am not a negative person i am fan of everyone cuz they all make their individual contributions to music.
I SWEAR: ‘Of ALL the pictures I’ve seen of her; of all the “posing” I’ve seen her do, ‘THIS’ has GOT to be the MOST-FORCED/UNCOMFORTABLE – as I’ve yet seen! She looks-a-mess!! … Poor Rihanna…poor-poor Rihanna! Poor-lost-misunderstood Rihanna!
…NOW I ask, if you’re in some, supposedly 5-star Hotel, taking pictures up-on some balcony, why NOT have “the-City and obvious wondrous-panorama” as-the-back-drop, instead of some grey-concrete wall? … And she looks A-MESS! Like, like… Matt K just said something that hurt her feelings, or something like that! … Or could it be that she’s YET to have that “morning-pick-me-up!” … That’s when Alcoholics usually have their “moment(s)-of-clarity!”
@sasha
stans are so damn annoying rihanna/beyonce all of them! lol they need some d*** in their lives to get off these celebrities c*** smh
Did they just say “Vocal Power-house” ???????????? O__O
Rude boy is doing big things over here in the UK
it jumped up a massive 30 places to 6 on the Big Top 40 chart (powered by iTunes)
and it jumped 10 places to 10 on the UK Top 40 chart – and it hasn’t even been released here yet! Guess that hot video helped a lot. Theres mad love here in the UK for Rihanna.
I don’t think this is a promo shot. It looks like she was just snapping pics since she was on vacation. It doesn’t look professional at all. It’s just a regular pic that one of her friends took.
sam ur crazy if u think rated r is underperforming ur site is the one thats underperforming. now thats something u should be worried about.
I agree with whoever said that most people nowadays that have #1 selling albums aren’t real or aren’t good. That person was right. Yes, Rihanna, or Kesha or whomever might be some of the nicest people you could ever meet, but they have NO business being in the music industry. People say that she can sing, but every time I hear her live, she sucks! Just my opinion though. It just goes to show that the music industry is just focus on what and who can make the most money.
SAM AND TRENT R HATERS… RIHANNA SHOULD S*** ALL OVER THIS BLOG.
STOP TALKIN ABOUT RIHANNA… UR S*** IS GET’N OLD!
She has the most beautiful facial features, but her fair looks f***** up!
is it that serious for the stans to come on here ready to kill someone everytime Trent or Sam post their facts and opinions on Rihanna?…
yes, Rated R sold 1.5 million so far. ok thats nice and all, but for Rihanna status, (her being princess of pop and all( rolling stones magazines own words))..
1.5 million sold in less than 3 months is nothing compare to susan boyle who sold 2.4 million in less than 4 weeks.
yes Rihanna is a very pretty, s*** woman, who can take a nice pic. nobody is hating on that. hell nobody is hating on rihanna period. I’m glad rated r sold more than GGGB and all but selling 180 on ur first week while other singers like mary j, alicia keys selling 400 k on their first, is not something the stans needs to brag bout.
hell even britney spears comeback album sold over 500k on her first week.
she looks like a boy here..not cute at all..that mushroom hairdo of hers is horrible….loosing her appeal!! tick tock..15 minutes almost up..looking washed up in each pic!!
my point is STANS, if rihanna such a bad bish, big star, better than other people out there, why is she not selling?
why shes not pushing more than 180k in her first week?
I have nothing against rihanna, hell I got some of her songs on my ipod. but the stans needs to stop trying make it seem that rihanna is the baddest bish walking on earth.
ready to call somebody a b**** or a hater because we dont worship the ground rihanna walks on. ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS.
when rihanna start pushing 500 k on her first week, ill shut the hell up..
DEF JAM, got to make all the money back somehow, the money they spend on promoting that album. hence rihanna going on tour. I hope she does well, learn to 2 step or something, cause s*** outfits is not gonna sell out that tour.
I honestly thought RATED R was going to sell 300k and up when it first came out. cause they way they were promoting her, TV, magazines, radio, rihanna is every where. and it didnt even go platinum in the US. damn thats sad..
it wouldn’t be a day without a rihanna post. As usual my girl is killing it with her stunning beauty. Who cares if she is not platinum in the US. She has enough platinum world wide to deal with. The US is not the end all be all of a career. What the US is sleeping on, other countries appreciate. So they will get it sooner or later, because rihanan ain’t going anywhere. and about rihanna tour, if you people really knew anything about rihanna, and not just going by what you read on blogs, you would realize that her tours are usually succesful, and she puts on a good show. Check You tube to see her dancing and doing her thing while touring world wide.
@free the point is why are you worried about if rihanna is not selling and asking her fans. She is selling good enough for her to be doing better than the last album she had out. I bet she is satisfied with her progress, because she is bringing in bigger numbers than GGGB, to date. At the end of the day, rihanna’s pockets will still be fat, and you would still be hating, so it is what it is.
@NICKY
Omg SHUT THE F*** ….u sound so STUPID & PATHETIC…Geez stop it
U really need a life because u are to obessed with rihanna
@ Free
Agree
Anway her shirt is cute …….

@crystal, maybe you should join me at the professional office where I would be going to get my help, because you are just as obsessed by rihanna as I am. So just because I am here stating my piece like you are, I need professional help. Gyal just kiss meh rass.
@ Nicky

That 3rd Pic of her looks Ugly,,,she is cute but not that Pretty to me.. love her Eyes
@crystal no your right you don’t kiss asses you lick them. Now stay off mine biatch.
She looks like a Ghetto girl and y’all know it that look has nothing to do with fashion!
Just plain ole Ghetto, not inspiring at all…..She has fallen off the so called fashion thrown you people put her on…
For Real: NOW I see why CoverGirl has Dania Ramiez as their NEW “Fresh-Face-IT-Girl!” I CAN’T see her doing modeling, she’s neither “cute” NOR “pretty,” by ANY-stretch, or ‘liberal-use’, of the word!
….Maybe a realty TV show, something akin to “I love NY” or something-of-the-sort! … Just keeping it real, y’all…..
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!
SHE LOOKS HOOTTTT!!!!! I ACTUALLY LIKE THE MUSHROOM HAIR-DO!!!!
LMAO @ THE RIHANNA STANS!!! SMH.
gotta give keri props for having that hairstyle first!
