Eminem and Rihanna performed their new #1 single, ‘Love The Way You Lie’, during the Los Angeles stop of the latter’s ‘Last Girl On Earth’ tour last evening. The rapper surprised the crowd of tone deaf fans when he joined the pretend singer on stage. Check out the fan footage below:

    I just have 1 thing to say:

    Beyonce has 9 #1s ok. B**** If I can count Rih’s #1s with Kanye & Jayz(hypothetical) then I can count Bey’s #1s with Kelly & Michelle of Beyoce’s Children. fair is fair. #thatisall

  4. Pray4Tina July 23, 2010

    I noticed that Trent will continue to give Rihanna shade until she decides to do an interview with him

    The same thing happened with Ke$ha…

    Thirst much?

    LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GREAT PERFORMANCE. I’M HAPPY THT THE SINGLE IS No.1 AS WELL.

    CHECK OUT MY NEW ENTERTAINMENT SITE >>>> http://WWW.FRESHURBANENT.CO.UK

  12. True Blue July 23, 2010

    She really can’t sing. I don’t understand how anyone (other than her die-hard fanatics, I don’t expect any better from them) can say she has vocal talent. She doesn’t. Without Auto-Tune, she is torture to listen to. Add to the fact that she is the dullest performer out there, and no wonder her tour isn’t doing as well it should. She is a waste of a record deal.

    It would be better if Eminem had the audience sing the chorus instead. Anyway, a great song marred by mediocre vocals (just like Run This Town).

  13. AuntieJackie July 23, 2010

    Em came out and killed it. Rihanna sounded O.K. when she first started singing. Her and her performance were nothing to ‘write home about’. Everyone knows she sucks. Her studio voice is unique and can send a great pop song with a great arrangement to number one. Period.

    And it’s so B****-LIKE for this site to post the way it did about this song.

    !hen the song was #2 Katy Perry ‘Denied Rihanna’ the top spot but when it hit number 1 it’s ‘Eminems Fourth #1 song’.

    I don’t like Rihanna because she has no talent, but you don’t have to be that s***** about it. It’s her number 1 as well.

    @S*** if you counted all Bey’s songs that went number one where she was featured or with Destiny’s Child her total would be in the 20’s….squashing every female singer out there…Rihanna and Bey are not even in the same conversation….why do people continue to debate that s***?

  14. DIVAZZ July 23, 2010

    @SARAH WHO CARES!!!!!!! NOBODY ASKED YOU HOW MANY #1’S BEYONCE HAS!! BEYONCE IS OLD AND WASHED UP!! WHO GIVES A S***!

  18. Mya July 23, 2010

    Now let’s not get crazy Rihanna us no where or near as successful as Beyonce numbers don’t lie. Put if Rihanna was to Drop an album on the sameday as Beyonce. Who do you think is gig to get that top spot who ppl are going to buy? BEYONCE. Nothing that Beyonce been apart of has failed. This women ha turned the game up side down, I’m a fan of music, beyonce is the biggest star we seen in 20 years , I haven’t seen no artist do what Beyonce and that’s real, there is no Artist biggger than Beyonce black or white, this women has it and she is going to be around for a long long time, haters may not try to say it. Just Because Rihanna has 2 more # 1 singles than Beyonce doesn’t make her bigger, Mariah Carey has more than Michael Jackson but everyone knows MC doesn’t have the impact around the world like the King Of Pop! Beyonce #1’s have broke records to where Rihanna has one of her number one songs do so, not taking anything away from Rihanna. Irreplaceable is the 2nd Most successful song on U.S radio only behind We Belong Together . Just look at what Single Ladies the impact alone is out of this world. I haven’t seen nothing like since MJ, but Single Ladies impact was lil bit bigger because of the Internet. I been around the I seen Diff artist perform and there is not one that has the impact of Beyonce, I seen pol cry and loose their minds if that, I didn’t think Beyonce had that much of an impact over ppl. I have to say this Beyonce is the Best Performer Alive. If you ask differnet artist about Beyonce they say she’ on a different lvl from the other Pop Stars. I mean this is the Woman that won 6 Grammys in one night do you know how Huge that is? If we haven’t seen the best from Beyonce then I don’t think I’ll be ready for the stuff from Beyonce and that’s just real talk. Fan of Music

  19. Mya July 23, 2010

    Sorry forth miss spelled words dumb iPhone and the dumb touch screen.

  20. Badd July 23, 2010

    Why is there even a debate of Rihanna & Beyonce.
    That more than RIDICULOUS.

    But just because Bey was there doesn’t mean she liked it.
    & yeah Britney can dance.
    I think she was one of those great pop stars like Madonna
    who couldn’t sing really well live but you could never tell
    because of the fact that they DANCED & really put on a show.

    I think that’s Rihanna’s problem. I could overlook the fact that she
    can’t sing & I think most ppl would ( Because alot of pop stars
    aren’t that great at singing) if she put on a SHOW & I mean REALLY
    put on a great show. With alot of dancing & good props, backgrounds, & stage effects.
    & then had good stage presence instead of kinda walking around
    like she’s in LaLa Land somewhere. She would be great.
    & ppl wouldn’t have a problem with her & her tours would actually sell.

  21. CHICK BOOM July 23, 2010

    VEEBZ
    The only person Rihanna can’t outsing a goat what the hell makes u think she can outsing precrack Whitney Houston, she can’t even outsing postcrack Whitney Houston.

    ELMO SINGS BETTER THAN THE BAJAN PORNSTAR.

    WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR INFO THAT BEYONCE WAS THERE? PLEASE LET ME KNOW…

  22. _muahhh July 23, 2010

    LMAO ! I love Trent & Sam! They say what’s exactly on my mind when it comes to Riyola ! She’s a beautiful girl, Model Yes?! Singer? HELL NO!

  23. Rawr July 23, 2010

    She just got outshined at her own concert :O so sad SMH

  24. Dont Hate Appreciate July 23, 2010

    I guess since Rihanan is a “pretend singer” it means she has 7 “pretend number 1s” and 2 “pretend Grammys” for her vocals LOL

  25. Dont Hate Appreciate July 23, 2010

    I just have 1 thing to say:

    Beyonce has 9 #1s ok. B**** If I can count Rih’s #1s with Kanye & Jayz(hypothetical) then I can count Bey’s #1s with Kelly & Michelle of Beyoce’s Children. fair is fair. #thatisall

    ^^^^

    You idiot Rihanna and T.I. and Eminem are not in a group…they are 3 independent artists who came together for a collab.

    Weave cannot count its number ones with Destinys Child because the group got those number ones not Weave….Weave only has 5 number 1s as a solo artist and only 2 of those 5 were without help LOL

    How sad an pathetic that you have to try and use a groups number ones to compete with all of Rihannas solo success LOL

  26. Rihanna_88 July 23, 2010

    9 #1’s are you stupid or what, Beyonce and the other 2 joined together as a group you dumbasses , rihanna didnt make a group with Eminem or T.I or anyone so shut the f*** up ur just jealous coz Rihanna has more #1’s than bey

  27. ~TeAM WeeZY~ July 23, 2010

    The video is very poor quality, but I’m sure Rihanna didn’t sound any better with excellent quality.

  28. CHICK BOOM July 23, 2010

    The stans love them #1’s.

    But “that rihanna reign” still hasn’t top the album charts though..

    HOW THE HELL DO YOU HAVE FOUR ALBUMS AND U HAVEN’T SOLD 20 MILLION WORLDWIDE LMFAO…

    THE BAJAN MODEL CAN BARELY HEADLINE HER OWN TOUR.

    For every Whitney Houston there was a Miki Howard. For every Madonna there was Paula Abdul. For every Janet Jackson there was a Jody Watley, and for every Beyonce there is a Rihanna.

    Here’s a list of things I would rather do than watch Rihanna perform live:

    I would rather watch water boil.

    I would rather watch a dog eat its own feces.

    I would rather read Ashanti’s book Foolish/Unfoolish: Reflections on Love, then write a 15 page book report

    I would rather drink after Superhead

    I would rather count the wrinkles on Ciara’s balls.

    Please come back tomorrow and I’ll give an extended list of things I would rather do than watch Rihanna perform live.

    Rihanna cranks out hit after hit, and looked damn good while doing it. So what if she sounds like a goat being sexually violated by a dying cat. You kids don’t really care about things like “vocal ability” and “stage presence” just as long you have some numbers to brag about. We shall not discuss her “car accident”, or the other unpleasantries of that evening.

  29. TheBaddestBitch July 23, 2010

    LOL @ S***

    That f** is so mad that Riri got 7 number ones…YES, 2 more than your faves…Beyoncé needs to hurry up!!!!

    haha

    God Bless you troubled soul

  30. True Blue July 23, 2010

    Rihanna should be signed to a modeling agency, not a record company.

    Oh well, in a few years she’s gonna be where Vanity & Appolonia are now… a has-been.

  31. True Blue July 23, 2010

    @ The Baddest B****:

    Beyonce doesn’t need to hurry up with anything… because she is far more successful than Rihanna will ever be. #1 songs mean nothing when the album sales don’t back them up.

    @ Dont Hate Appreciate:

    Taylor Swift won a Grammy for Album of The Year, and she can’t sing for s***, so your point is?

    @ CHICK BOOM:

    “Elmo sings better than Bajan Pornstar”, LOL, so true!!! That comment cracked me up!

  32. Blasian July 23, 2010

    beyonce got 16 grammys 13 more than Rihanna

    Beyonce got 3 #1 albums Rihanna 0

  33. Secret Voice July 23, 2010

    LMAO @ S***! You know you wrong for saying that Rih-Ho can only outsing Rosanne!

    One thing I can’t understand are Trent and Sam haters coming here commenting as if you think all people must like Rih-Ho……..Newsflash: There is no one that exist that all people like.Even the nicest of the nicest people will have a hater but anyone with sense no that Rih-Ho is not nice and she nor Enimen has no damn business with their violent azzes speaking on abuse unless they both acknowledge their own issues!

  34. Secret Voice July 23, 2010

    LMAO @ the delusional Rih-Ho Stans talking about Bey needing to come back to compete with Rih-Ho! Guess what,GaGa is currently the queen of Pop,so why not mention her? Oh yeah you fools finally realize she is no competition for GaGa!

  35. Secret Voice July 23, 2010

    One thing about these damn Rihanna stans is they are some of the biggest damn liars you will ever see.Now anyone with an ounce of sense know that she is only featured on a #1 song,yet her fool a** stans keep saying this is her song,no it’s that white dudes song!

    So glad that I have never heard the shyt!

  36. Soulful Roses July 23, 2010

    When are Rihanna stans going to realize that #1’s don’t equal talent. It just means your marketable.

    Anyways, Em was great but Rihanna was horrible. Curse Jay-Z for giving this girl the time of day…

  40. xedos July 23, 2010

    Beyonce have 5 number 1’s but only 2 without help. on her album. Rihanna has 7 # 1’s 5 from her own albums 2 as guest on someone else’s album . Sam you will never get an interview from rihanna. you’re not qualify. keep on interviewing your z list artist

  41. CHICK BOOM July 23, 2010

    RIHANNA HAS 7 NUMBER 1 SINGLES, BUT ONLY 1 IS A CLASSIC.

  42. S*** July 23, 2010

    If we wannaa get all technical than RihGAOTa only has 5, count em 5 #1s with 4 albums which BTW failed to go #1. lol

    & Death @ the stans using Bey’s features against her as if they made the song hot. How about Rihgoata gets herself a grammy WITHOUT Jay z’s Help. LMAO DBL #FAIL

    & If it weren’t for the Queen Bey R**** wouldn’t have a career so keep talking. 🙂

    @S*** take that s*** to beyonce’s post. Beyonce has lied and cheated her way to stardom. I love both but, bey stans make me hate her… they spend most time lurking rihanna news… how long has bey been in the game? when she gets 2 more number ones then holla at me 😀

  46. True Blue July 23, 2010

    @Wowza:

    Yeah, and Rihanna got to the top by working hard and honing her talent and craft…LOL.

    When she sells more albums than Beyonce (which is WAY more important than #1 singles), then you can talk.

  47. raychel July 23, 2010

    @trueblue
    I dont see what the problem is.
    Are you a beyonce stan, who do you stan for?
    I dont see why you hate on rihanna. Shes done nothng to noone. She trys her best most of the time, and she actually does have vocal talent. Last time I checked, someone without vocal talent couldnt hit a d5. 🙂
    Rihanna has so many haters like you that hate for absolutely NO reason. You check for her if you hate her BECAUSE? … yea, ill wait.

    Rihanna has a tone that not everyone will appreciate, but that dosnt mean she cant sing. So until you can give me a VALID reason for not liking rihanna, besides the fact that she dosnt have vocal talent (already proved that wrong, someone who hits a d5 cant NOT sing), shes a h**, (umm, can you prove that?) , or shes reckless and mean and a bi*** (yea, just stupid) You always be named a hater. Sorry.

    good day.

  48. Wowza July 23, 2010

  49. True Blue July 23, 2010

    @ Raychel:

    I stan for no one, I just speak the truth. RIhanna can’t sing, and anyone who can accurately identify talent knows that. Who cares if she can hit a d5 or whatever note, most of her live performances are p*** poor, she sounds like a dying goat. On top of that, she has no musical talent, period. Can’t dance, no stage presence, doesn’t play an instrument, doesn’t write or produce. She’s a model with a record contract. Of course, I would fully expect a Rihanna stan to throw out the term “hater”, that’s all you guys are good for.

    @ Wowza:

    Yeah, and holding a microphone to your crotch while scantily clad is classy too. And what the hell is “honoring talent”?

  50. TheBaddestBitch July 23, 2010

    They’re so mad that Riri already got 7 number ones and the girl is only…22 !!

    Beyoncé is getting old…and she got only 5.

    (haha)

  51. Wowza July 23, 2010

    @TheBaddestbitch i agree..

    Beyoncé is too full of herself & self centered to even thin about having a baby.

    In her brain, there’s only two things:

    1) Dollars

    2) Weaves

    (haha)

  54. Dean July 23, 2010

    Why must everything be a competition? Music was never like this at first. If you liked something, you supported it, if not, you moved on. These arguments are just sad. Ya’ll are worst than the territorial gangs that argue over project turf. These artists don’t even know ya’ll or communicate with ya’ll on a regular basis, but yet ya’ll go off when someone says something in reference to ya’ll favorite artist Ya’ll don’t approve of. Grow up! Beyonce, Rihanna, Christina, Ciara, and the list goes on are all paid and when the dust settles, they’re all classified as Pop Stars. No one gives titles to them but man. What’s more sad is none of them thank GOD for being able to do what they do. Ya’ll have in fact made these artists gods, and GOD ALMIGHTY is not pleased. As far as I’m concerned, ya’ll can all burn in hell with thpse devil worshippers.

  56. The AlexanderTG July 23, 2010

    Is there some law that makes it compulsory for Beyonce fans to come onto every post about Rihanna and tell us how fantastic she is? As a fan of Rihanna’s I’m not bothered whether B is more successful than her or more talented than her or whether she does or doesn’t have more #1s – its totally irrelevant to me when I’m plugged in listening to a RiRi track – I’m just enjoying the music. Now I can admit for me RiRi doesn’t sound as good live as recorded, but that’s not a problem – how many times am I ever going to see her perform live? – maybe 2 or 3 times in my life – compare that to how many times I’m going to listen to the recording – unless you’ve got the money to follow B around all her concert dates the same’s probably true for you. Just face it B may well be all the things you say she is – that doesn’t mean everyone is going to be a fan of hers – and all those stats won’t change that – if they did we’d all be Alison Krauss fans – I think she’s up to like 26 or 27 Grammys now.

  57. ari0701 July 23, 2010

  58. pinkpop July 23, 2010

    Y’all Rihawna stans are hilarious… you’d better run and support this b**** instead of celebrating an Eminem #1, so that Rockstar and TeAmo at least climb some chart.

  59. pinkpop July 23, 2010

    @ ThAlex.. it’s the same law that makes Rihawna stans come to every post about beyonce

  60. Tee July 23, 2010

    Rihanna SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  61. The AlexanderTG July 23, 2010

    @PINKPOP
    Maybe you’re right – I’ve never even looked on a B post so I’ve no idea. Just wish sometimes they sounded less like stats freaks – dunno maybe RiRi stans are the same? You can still have quite a heated discussion about the actual music rather than just spouting numbers. And they’re always on about RiRi’s over sexual antics, but completely ignore things like B’s lyrics in Videophone – I mean is talking about having naked videophone s** really any classier than sticking a mike to your crotch.

  62. Jason July 23, 2010

    YOU STUPID ASS PUNK F*** TALK ABOUT THE SAME S*** IN EVERY POST BEYONCE DON’T GIVE A F*** ABOUT NONE OF YOU ALSO RIHANNA COULD CARE LESS FOR YOU DUMB PEOPLE TO GO AT IT DAY ON AND DAY OUT ABOUT RECORD SELLS AND WHO IS BETTER MUSIC WAS NEVER SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE THIS
    WAKE THE F*** UP FAGOTS AND THIS IS FOR ALL OF THE BEYONCE STANS RIHANNA STANS AND ANYBODY ELSE WHO ARGUES LIKE A B**** ABOUT NOTHING ON HERE AND LIKE STUPID PUPPETS THE WEB MASTER OF THIS BLOG MAKES YOU ARGUE AND SITS BACK AND LAUGH AT YOU

    @Nothing But My Opinion & TRUE BLUE
    Sorry, but no you’re wrong – you’re just being too extreme – she can sing – admittedly she’s not as good singing live as on recordings and admittedly there are singers who can sing live better – now in a studio you can use autotune and you can clean things up, but unless you’re going to end up with a useless mush you can’t change the basic qualities of the voice too much. So you need something to start with, to build the track around and in her case she’s got a voice which, though you might think resembles some goat, is actually appealing to a lot of people – I’ve heard better singers in the studio who have got nowhere with their careers because their voices just aren’t distinctive enough – they can do all the technical stuff right, but you know they’re just never going to sell – think of all the backing singers you’ve ever seen and ask yourself why they’re not centre front on that stage – it won’t be because they’re bad singers. As music fans we might like to proclaim live singing as the be all of everything, but in the real world most people just don’t go to that many gigs if any – what they hear is on CD, m** or radio. At least she’s due some credit for actually singing live – many others in the industry would just lip-synch the whole time.

    The stans love them #1’s.

    But “that rihanna reign” still hasn’t top the album charts though..

    HOW THE HELL DO YOU HAVE FOUR ALBUMS AND U HAVEN’T SOLD 20 MILLION WORLDWIDE LMFAO…

    THE BAJAN MODEL CAN BARELY HEADLINE HER OWN TOUR.

    For every Whitney Houston there was a Miki Howard. For every Madonna there was Paula Abdul. For every Janet Jackson there was a Jody Watley, and for every Beyonce there is a Rihanna.

    Here’s a list of things I would rather do than watch Rihanna perform live:

    I would rather watch water boil.

    I would rather watch a dog eat its own feces.

    I would rather read Ashanti’s book Foolish/Unfoolish: Reflections on Love, then write a 15 page book report

    I would rather drink after Superhead

    I would rather count the wrinkles on Ciara’s balls.

    Please come back tomorrow and I’ll give an extended list of things I would rather do than watch Rihanna perform live.

    Rihanna cranks out hit after hit, and looked damn good while doing it. So what if she sounds like a goat being sexually violated by a dying cat. You kids don’t really care about things like “vocal ability” and “stage presence” just as long you have some numbers to brag about. We shall not discuss her “car accident”, or the other unpleasantries of that evening.

    death at the crowd sounding better than her!

    I couldn’t watch more than 5 seconds of the video, but it of course it would be funny to hear people with no record contracts sound better than “The Princess.” To be honest, it only makes the record companies look even more shady. All they care about is money, not promoting people who can be legends because of their TALENT.

    … “C***”, “B****”, “GOLD-DIGGING W****” …. er … sorry, I was “channeling my inner Mel Gibson” … !!!

    I mean, I just figured, if “The White Rapper” can-often-channel “his inner misogynist,” with-not-even a “whisper of disapproval” from a “hyper-sensitized ‘post Feb 8th-09 Chrianna’ Public” … why-not-I; you know?

    “Mel ‘Lethal-Weapon/Mad Max’ Gibson”, “Charlie ‘knife-a-b****’ Sheen”, “Jessie ‘so-what-if-I -am-a-Nazi-Sandra”ll-adopt-ANOTHER-baby-n*****-refugee’ James,””Justin ‘I-ruined-Janet_Jackson’s-career’ Timberlake,” “Roman ‘thank-God-for-little-Girls’/I’ve-got-friends-in-high-society Polansky” and lastly “The White Rapper” who ‘has-black-folk-fooled’ as THEIR “sleepless-slumber remains …!”

    … W-H-I-T-E P-O-W-E-R (I’ve got the N****** fooled) …!!!!! <–The next title of "The White Rapper's" CD …!!

    Its no good blaming the record companies they’re just delivering what the public want to buy – they don’t put stuff out unless they’re pretty certain people are going to lap it up – of course they get it wrong sometimes, but mostly not. One of the reasons for this is they don’t have the spare cash to gamble because of illegal downloads. Its no more ‘shady’ than any other industry – just look in your local supermarket – its not stocked to the roof with what you or I might think is good and healthy – its stocked with what people will buy – stuff like bright nuclear red strawberry drinks because people won’t buy stuff the colour of real strawberry juice.

    @X,Y,”and Z”
    Hi X – on a totally random point a guy at a gig last night suggested I look into a girl called Mavis Staple – said she had the best voice he ever heard. My connections too slow to listen to stuff right now – but any Idea if she’s any good?
    Oh and how did Justin ruin Janet’s career I thought she was still going strong?

  70. X,Y,”and Z” July 23, 2010

    @The AlexanderTG —

    Now, Mavis Staple is a true legend, and yes, her voice(?) … a truer definition of sensuality cannot be found:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25Fudv9bT3I&feature=related
    … And did you get to listen to, or-even-sample, any-of Jill Scott’s material, namely from “Who is Jill Scott…?”

    Alexander, go and look up ‘Janet Jackson’s sales’ “pre and post” that-now-infamous “Wardrobe Malfunction”! Then compare that, with/to Justin Timberlake’s career; said narrative will be spoken in contrasts, without accent and in-perfect-diction!

    And-on-a “totally random-tangent” — Did you ever visit, any of the links I-had-post, regarding Rihanna’s role/part-in, the events relating to that eventful “Feb 8th-09 evening …??” Or are-you-still under “THAT cloud of untruth/misrepresentation” that, as Rihanna had put it, in her 20/20 Interview, “the singular-cause(of ‘Feb 8th-09 Chrianna’)”: “We got into an argument, and I just wouldn’t let it go” ….???

    In-order-for-us-to “find common-ground,” you’ll-need-to visit, and take into serious- consideration, said-referenced material!

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT…!!

  71. The AlexanderTG July 23, 2010

    @X,Y,”and Z”
    Cool when I get a faster connection maybe at the next place we stay I’ll look up some of Mavis’s music and Jills – at the moment I’m even having to have all pics turned off just so a page’ll load and music or video’s just way out of the question.
    I heard of that wardrobe accident thing of Janet’s, but never knew Justin was involved – will go investigate.
    Plus I’ll have to dig into those links re RiRi – I’ll refind then on here I’m sure – maybe there is more to it all – won’t know till I delve deeper I guess – must admit my initial reactions maybe were too caught up in me being a fan of hers and being a girl who’s been on the end of a beating from a guy before – anyway we’ll see.

  72. bluekid July 23, 2010

    @ The AlexanderTG

    Yes, indeed that Justin & Janet incident put a big damper on her career, the two had planed that fiasco but when it was all said and done and head where to roll Justin backed out and said he had nothing to do with said plan. Justin throw Janet under the buss and ran to his mammy and cried like the little white punk bytch that he is.

  73. Badd July 23, 2010

    Can someone find a video that actually
    proves that she can sing well ??

  74. The AlexanderTG July 23, 2010

    @X,Y,”and Z”
    OK – I’ve read the stuff on the links you posted and its not that far from what I’d thought before – as far as I can make out it goes like this
    1st Chris receives a text message from another girl – I’ve not heard anyone say what was in the message, but what happens next suggests it wasn’t just Hi, how are you?
    2nd RiRi sees the message and goes a** slapping and hitting out at Chris – now I know we’ve not seen a mugshot of him but it was said ‘he had no significant injuries’ – so yes RiRi started the violence so there’s some blame there – fine.
    3rd Chris fights back punching her – presumably from her mugshot several times – now that sounds more than just fending her off to me – he could have done that by grabbing an arm or something – but anyway there’s retaliation there I think rather than just self-defence – so there’s some blame there too
    Now like it says a jury would normally consider this an unfair fight, which to me being a girl seems reasonable – it may well not seem that way to a guy. Now I know this is nowhere near the top end of DV but still.
    Perhaps the real problem people have with this is the fact that Chris suffered a worse fate than Mel or Charlie because of the colour of his skin and therefore they think he was treated harshly. My viewpoint is a little different I think he got about what was right, but I also think that Mel and Charlie if guilty as charged should be breaking rocks in orange jumpsuits (if you guys still have that stuff) – so yes the situation is racist, but notice only in favour of white MEN – the white WOMEN involved didn’t do so well out of it. OK I’m prepared to be told I’m talking total sh*t, but that’s just how it seems to this ‘off-white’ girl.

  75. VA STAND UP!!! July 23, 2010

    Lord! Why are we still discussing the incident?? Let ish go already!

    I’m not even gonna lie, I do like this song a lot, but the performance (like most of hers) was not the best. She doesn’t sound too good live and I have yet to hear a good live redition of this song. The crowd was drowning her ass out! What the hell is with all the hadn movements and stuff. She kills me with that , as if she is actually ‘killin’ it. I think that is what goes through her mind too. Lol!

    Em was alright. I’m not the biggest fan of his so I could give a damn about him either way. It was kinda cool how he came up out of the floor like that?

    Was this her last ‘sold out’ show from her American leg of this tour??

  76. jonberry July 23, 2010

    Well, isn’t this cute 2 ABUSIVE CLOWNS on the stage togther…LOL! I wonder if they popped each other in the mouth at the end of the song? WHATEVER PEOPLE!

  77. Myway July 23, 2010

    @The AlexanderTG

    You appear to be a well meaning sort! Now with that said, I think your opinion regarding Chris Brown and his treatment is completely misguided! CHARLIE SHEEN has a 15 to 20 HISTORY OF ABUSE AGAINST WOMEN. He shot Kelly Preston, strangled a pregnant Denise Richards, beat the hell out of an Asian girlfriend (complete with pic of her battered face) and just held a knife to the throat of his 3rd wife. Yet, even in the mist of this latest abuse charge, he signed a 2 MILLION DOLLAR and episode contract to continue on the comedy show, 2 1/2 MEN!

    MEL GIBSON has a history of all sorts of nasty and wicked behavior against EVERYONE, men and women but they are, even as I type this statement BLAZING A COMEBACK SCHEME FOR HIM! They have asked various ppl about working with him and letting them DRONE ON about how good he was in LETHAL WEAPON 1,2, & 3! When it came to Chris Brown they actually EDITED all POSITIVE MENTION of him from interviews and performances. For example, Kanye West in a VH1 Story Tellers episode said “we should all forgive Chris Brown he is young and mistakes happen” or something to that effect! VH1 COMPLETELY CUT THAT OUT OF THE LIVE BROADCAST! They all asked WHITE CELEBS & WEAK BLACKS like fat-ass, former CRACK SMOKER & PROSTITUTE Oprah Windfrey, SKANKY Tara “I sleep with married men yet preach sisterhood” Banks, Jamie FAKE and the rest of the dumb blacks they have propped up in American TV to provide biased commentary about Chris Brown.

    Then there is Sean Penn who beat and rapped superstar Madonna during the course of their marriage. He suffered no consequences and just scored an OSCAR for bet male actor in 2009! Mickey Rourke beat his wife actress Carrie Otis for 2 1/2 years per her mouth but never suffered a day for that crime in fact in 2009 he scores a GOLDEN GLOBE for best actor. Steven Seagal beat the hell out of Kelly LaBrook on a movie set and never suffered for that crime. In fact in 2009 he scored the lead in the A&E drama the LAWMAN! I could go on and on about the ADULT MEN in AMERICAN society who have committed FAR WORSE SINS THEN TEENAGE Chris Brown but have never received the type media biased coverage and constant media hatred toward them.

    You can believe whatever you like but I have witnessed this crap for damn near 2 year up close and personal living in the states and it has and continues to be atrocious! We can fool ourselves all we want about what’s actually going on!

    P.S. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN THAT CAR OR WHERE CHRIS BROWN’S MUGSHOT & THE 911 TAPE ARE!

  78. The AlexanderTG July 23, 2010

    @MYWAY
    Sorry I maybe didn’t make myself as clear as I could’ve – I was trying to say the same thing really as in Chris got a light punishment by the law because what he did wasn’t too bad – but then it was the media who set out to crucify him – that’s where the racist bit starts I think with the media not the law.
    And yes those other guys should have been put on trial and if they’d been found guilty should have been given long jail sentences. Now the fact they never have been put on trial might come down to racism too – but I think its got more to do with the very low worth of a white girl in a white-dominated society – think if even Madonna was treated this way what does that tell you.
    Dunno if there’s ANY validity in this next comment but…. is the treatment of Chris by some other black people partly due to black women having a higher status in black society than white women have in white society?
    Hope that all makes some kind of sense.

  79. True Blue July 23, 2010

    ^^ The only way to know this is if a famous interracial couple in which the man is white and the woman is black get into the same sort of drama. And something tells me that the outcome of the white man’s public image would be very different from Chris Brown’s.

    What I also love is that most of the people crucifying Chris also blamed Rihanna for the incident. So it’s pretty obvious that all the hate against him isn’t in defense of Rihanna, it’s personal.

    @My Way:

    You forgot Guns N’ Roses lead singer Axl Rose, who abused his wife Erin Everly and his supermodel girlfriend Stephanie Seymour. Yeah, his career is in the toilet now, but only because everybody blames him for ruining his band, not because he is an abusive asshole.

  80. X,Y,”and Z” July 24, 2010

    @AlexanderTG —

    So-NOW, that we’ve established just what, as TMZ, quoting the investigating detectives, reported: Rihanna, after reading Chris’ text message, from another woman, which was “sexual in nature”, began to slap and hit Chris — repeatedly. It was AFTER that time, that he retaliated!

    Alexander, but-you-managed, in-my-book, to omit THE-MOST important of fact(s): “Chris was driving!!” … And that most-cogent of fact, brings me to my next question/point: “If you were walking on the street/driving YOUR car on said, shared-motorway, as said Lamborghini, ‘came barreling – out of control – towards you,’ as it’s driver was getting HIS a**-kicked by an “unruly passenger”, would-YOU-then, be-so-careful, thoughtful or “reserved-in your-then-actions?” Or, if you were, in the driver’s seat, that Chris occupied, getting YOUR a**-kicked; would-you-then, having-only, a-split-second-to-decide/fight of crash: Choose to, by-all-means ‘incapacitate-Rihanna,’ or crash; what-then would-YOU-do?

    You-NOW have-the-luxury of hindsight “and the comfort of your home” to-craft-careful-reply! … You’re NOT being confronted, by an enraged-jealous lover, who has a history of violence, herself: it-WAS-Rihanna, who admitted to “smashing-bottles upside her brother’s head’; it-was-Rihanna, who-admitted-to having-a-liking for violent movies and a “loathing for mama’s boys/soft men”; HER WORDS, NOT MINE!!!

    … And finally, I’d like to close by saying: Chris, at no time, was charged with battery – AT NO TIME! Under California law – Assault: The attempting to-do-bodily harm; Battery: The ACTUAL DOING BODILY HARM …!!! And you can-best-believe, if Chris did 1/2 of what was stated in that CELL PHONE WARRANT, the DA’s Office wouldn’t have offered Probation, they’d have wanted some jail time!
    … I want you to consider, that according to Rihanna and that Cell Phone Warrant — Chris and Rihanna got into an argument, after she read HIS Cell Phone Text Message. Chris THEN, WITHOUT PROVICATION, “just-went-off on-Rihanna …?!” So what Rihanna is saying( what that Cell Phone Warrant is saying): “Rihanna’s mouth drove Chris crazy!” … Her singing, yes – maybe; but not her constant chatter ’bout him cheating WHILE HE’S DRIVING HER HOME?! … Why not just, drop her off, at her home, and THEN go and see the OTHER chick? Why even waste-time, with someone you don’t want to be around?

    … Alexander … THINK …!!!!!

    I think every post should mention how Rihanna can’t sing and that her fans are wrong for liking her. That would be so witty, smart, hilarious and would never get tired.

    @X,Y,”and Z”
    OK this better be my last post about this here otherwise people will give me too much grief for being too rambling and posting too much.
    Yeah I knew he was driving – BUT, you just mentioned 2 facts that nobody ever told me or I never read anywhere… that it was on a MOTORWAY in a LAMBOURGHINI. Cause nobody had said any different I’d just thought it was in a normal car just going down a normal road – so I’d never understood why Chris didn’t just hit the brakes – in fact I thought he must have done that and then the fight carried on. OK – that does put a different perspective on things.
    WOW – like I said when I first ever looked at this – its way complicated – glad I don’t have to be a judge or on a jury – problem being I guess if you’re someone who’s experience DV before it can make you prejudiced to guys when you hear of an incident. On a lighter note I noticed you said ‘HIS cell phone message’ – well it might not be right – but all you guys ought to know that every girl I know including me checks their BF’s messages so, if you don’t want to get caught….

  87. Jason July 24, 2010

    I bet if chris brown died tomorrow you chris stans would blame Rihanna lol

  88. the thoughts of… July 24, 2010

    Why does every Rihanna or Beyonce post turn into a stan war? Why is the first comment on this post from some loser Beyonce stan?
    Let’s get something striaght here: Comparing Beyonce and Rihanna is like comparing apples and oranges. Beyonce has been in the game for 12 years, but first came out in a singing GROUP, and was already well established before she went solo.
    Rihanna has been in the game for FIVE years as a solo artist.
    We all know that naturally Beyonce would be more successfu and more established than Rihanna. So why even compare them? Why not just enjoy them for the music? Or, heres an even crazier thought: Why is it not okay to like only one without hating the other, or even like BOTH of them?

  89. anaconda July 26, 2010

    Grape juice is so not relevant.concreteloop should not even bother affiliting with this wanna be drama esque blog. You can tell its a flame that runs this ish and his flame fa.ggot friends run in droves to say anything. Reading these comments are hilarious and should not be taken seriously. At the end of the day, the artist fanbase will stay with the artist. All this back and forth proves nada. You were never a fan to begin and your comment won’t change it. Stay mad. If you want the popularity, then stay on your grind and make the money.
