It is almost a year since Pop stunner Rihanna was named as one of the possible talent judges for Fox’s upcoming show ‘X Factor USA‘.
Now, much to the delight of her ever glued on fan base, the entertainer is now reported to have made an appearance on the televised series, as a judge.
More information below…
According to TMZ, record executive and X Factor judge LA Reid brought on Ms.Fenty to help him decide which acts he should take through to the live finals, which will see them perform live each week and compete for the public vote.
Responsible for signing her to Island Def Jam seven years ago and serving as her mentor ever since, it wouldn’t be the first time The Crimson Wailer has graced the hit show with her presence.
To date, she has graced the X Factor UK stage three times. Once in 2009 and twice in 2010 in support of her LP’S ‘Rated R‘ and ‘Loud‘.
i Love Rihanna !
lmao I love the play on words…it’s more of a sit-in or an appearance…but she does play the role non the less even if it’s for 1 episode lol u tried it
Is this a joke? An insult maybe?
@CHINNY LMBO i agree 100
oh lawd Reid you are such a failure. How can rihanna judge talent? I think this is a joke!!!
@ chinny I personally think this is a joke. Where is Mariah??
I hope she isn’t judging contestants on stage presence, Lord knows she knows nothing about that.
Rihanna will make this s*** Alive !
But seriously !?! A judge ?! I love u girl but we know it all !
Maybe she will judge only their looks ….. Who knows !
I’m glad she will be on the show since I’m watching it anyway because of Nicole Scherzinger.
Since someone mentioned Mariah Carey, well Simon Cowell will probably take her as a help just like LA Reid took Rihanna. This show is going to be so good!
DIDNT JAY-Z SIGN RIHANNA WHEN HE WAS OVER DEF JAM??
“The Crimson Wailer”- ROFLAO!
But seriously though, I don’t think she needs it.
Chile….
Wow all of the credible experienced artist out there in the industry. He chose Rihanna. Not hating but how can Rihanna who is not even a huge vocal Talent judge potential better singers than her. I
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA REALLY DOE?????
What EXACTY is she going to judge?! LMFAO!

WTF!!! This has gotta be a joke or misprint…
I think we can all agree that Rihanna is well-accomplished in her career. But she doesn’t hold that much stage presence, and not to mention she isn’t a powerhouse vocalist herself. I feel it would be unfair to the contestants. Espically the ones that have better voices.
People on this sit eCan’t read
She is a GUEST Judge she is just going to HELP L.A To decide which finalist to take to the live rounds. She is not a real judge on the show CH…
And let’s not come up with why should she judge. Rihanna has been SLAYING the charts for 6 years. She has had the most #1 in the last 10 years. She knows a HIT when she see’s a HIT. So she is great for choosing a star her judging peoples singing is another thing but she can spot a star when she see’s one.
Yes b****!
Get it.
L.A. Reid miss Rihanna sucking his d***. He’s not being slick because we all know that b**** has no talent except worshiping the devil.
NOW THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE BIGGEST JOKE OF ALL TIMES LMFAO. No talent Rihanna judging a show. Lord the industry is a joke and these people with not talent are taking your hard earn money to push their no talent ass.
LMFAO just let the one with great talent don’t get picked. Rihanna don’t know what real talent really is. Her name wil become mud just by not picking the most talented. The show is not doing all that well and I guess by using Rihanna it would boost their rating.
Well… if JLo can be a judge, why do not Rihanna? She may not be good on singing, dancing and don’t have any stage presence, but she’s the best when it comes photoshoots… LOL. I can’t. I agree that she’d better suited on America’s Next Top Model, but she still can help LA Reid to choose the one who has got the most potention of being model (isn’t what she is?). The past has proved you don’t need to have talent to shine. If she’s a superstar today and barely has half-decent talent, other people can reach as far as she reached.
@missimpartial :
You just saw I can do it … 😛
Peoppppppppple,,,,,Pleassssssse Retire the words she can’t, why her, how come,
no they didn’t pick RIHANNA. RIH is worthy no matter what many might think and say. Forget trying to talk her down from her STEADY CLIMB TO THE TOP you can not stop/slow down a work in progress no matter how hard you try. What ever happen to the Greatness that out moms and Grandmothers passed down to us??
Did we all allow the thought of being the best we could be on the Fact that it is
easier to be AVERAGE INSTEAD OF STRIVING TO BE THE BEST WE CAN BE??
Whhhhhhhhy Is always a big shock to many of your ‘EGO” when ever you see a
great Article, Write up or just great news in general on/about rihanna??????????
In this day/age anything is possible, and since its still early on in Rihanna’s career theres mannnnnnny new things that she and her CREATIVE TEAM will be bringing to the FOREFRONT just keep trying to hide her in the back of your
CLOSED MINDS and watch and see how RIHANNA HERSELF is going to keep
showing you & the world that not only can she think outside of the box, shes steady showing many, haters, loosers alike that she knows how to STEP ALL
THE WAY UP OUT OF THAT BOX That many wished that she would stay in.
PS Think on these words “HOW GREAT THOU ART”!
I WILL NOT BE WATCHING, LA REID AND RIHANNA…THATS A NO GO!
@POP ROYALTY (RUDE BOY
Well it is not something to be proud of. It doesn’t show good character.
@Dave,,,,You sounds so silly, stupid and just plain ignorant. Now talking that way is supposed to some how make Rihanna seems smaller???? You or talking mess because you feel threaten by the talented super star and she want grease your Bone. Why don’t you go some place private and BUMP YOURSELF, SUCKER!!!!
@YELLOW GORILLAH re: 10:47 am —
We can read/comprehend just fine..
“X Factor judge LA Reid brought on Ms.Fenty to help him decide which acts he should take through to the live finals”
She is, in SOME “semblance” or another, “JUDGING” no? She’s “HELPING HIM DECIDE”, is that not “weighing by ‘weight of talent,’ what’s then presented before her: contestants?”
So let’s NOT indulge in “double-speak”: she’s judging!
..That said, how can someone who CAN’T SING; CAN’T DANCE; ‘TRIPS-UP’ on her very-own two-feet; has ZERO “showmanship/command of stage” to be an “arbiter” of talent..??
And just when you’d thought the drunkards were all in their stupor – the “dumbing-down” continues.
X,Y,”and Z”
You Riwhorna asslickers need to go somewhere. IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW MANY #1S SHE HAS AND HOW MANY SINGLES AND ALBUMS SHE’S SOLD, SHE DOESN’T HAVE A TALENTED BONE IN HER STANK BODY!
I really do despise Rihanna. I can’t stand her because she’s such a nasty w**** with a loose c****** and has no talent whatsoever. She should be ashamed of herself. All she uses is publicity and image to sell and that’s very sad. Y’all who support her are nothing but pathetic, ugly losers who wish you were like her! She’s a horrible example of a young lady in the music industry. It makes me sick to my stomach to see her spreading her h***** infested c****** onstage, humping guys and girls, and appearing damn near naked in magazines and music videos. She’s nothing but a worthless HO with a bad temper who lied about Chris hitting her, she know she tried to hit him first or gave a weak hit, who got lucky with a record deal because she sucked Jay-Z d*** and swallowed his c**. She has no right judging talent or helping decided who should make it.
A judge is someone who is talented in the field being judged. Rihanna cannot spot a potential star. Never, with the quality of her craft she cannot. How can she critic vocal ranges and bars and scales. How can she, when she cannot even produce these vocals. How can she say someone sound great when all of the time she doesn’t sound great live. How can she judge stage presence when she doesn’t have it. How can she choose a star? c’mon people love the music she sings love her, but cannot deny the fact that she cannot judge talent. I will keep saying.MaJority of fans are not loyal and no matter how many you have now you cannot tell the future. Her talent is the only thing that will keep her alive in her thirties and older. guest or not, I will watch ,can’t wait for her to perform on there to show her talent to x factor USA. LIVE as a reminder.
to speak for majority I don’t think America likes that idea LA REID, There will be lots of backlash.
good for her. I love to see ANY fierce b**** bring it. Rihanna has let EVERYBODY HAVE IT FOR THE PAST 5 years!!! And she hasn’t had to STEAL SONGS, or THROW HER NAME ON WRITING CREDITS to do it. Rihanna has proven herself but being her own artist. SOME BITTER WEAVE-WORSHIPPING stans think if you don’t pay to have your name put on the writing credits, you’re nobody. NEWS FLASH Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston didn’t write S***. And they’re legends. Rihanna is on her way!
b**** cant sing…
rihanna is bigger than beyonce right now.
@Thereallola
I agree with you 100% .What fans should be doing if they like a female artist they really need to go out and support them. There are tons of female artist that have masive talent. So what if you have a fave already take on another one (A Female) and support her. Rihanna has no talent at ALL and this new industry is full of s***.
I love riri to the Bone .
@ 4 you need to go back to History, beyonce is an OFFICIAL International Icon before 30. She has done it and better. Sorry You may have been too young to remember. At Rihanna age Beyonce was a multimedia Goddess. should I continue?
Seven years in show business, almost twenty four years and her highlights after so long are:
Where will she be at Thirty. stage stripping and hoeing? I guess not. It’s time to show real talent. Not even mentioning LEGEND. do you know the meaning of legend? Rihanna has not had any impact on pop culture yet for so long, nontherless an icon. Monica Brandy, Ashanti are not icons Rihanna will be legend? And what will she be known for? Her singing ability, Her dancing skills? her acting? Her performances? Her stage presence? Let me know. lmao…. Oh maybe her looks with makeup.
I just knew the first 20 comments would be BITTER BEY STANS……yall need to have a seat
and if someone is stealing i think they should be called out
GOOD JOB @RUDE BOY
Reid likes and trusts Rihanna way too much! It’ll be interesting to see how she help him pick up his acts….
Girl bye. This is a ploy by Reid to help promote her upcoming efforts. A judge of what?
Is this a joke?
Haaaaaaters you can say what eva, i’ma do what eva no pain is for ever
truth teller. IT DON’T MATTER HATERS & LOOSERS,M RIHANNS is going to be on
the show and you do not have to Watch her. Are you bitter and mad because
“little miss sunshine” is doing her thing, and could care less about HATERS!
rihanna WILL NOT BE DENIED her rightful place at the head table in the Enter-
tainment Industry. SHE IS WORKING HARD BUILDING HER THRONE….soooooo
those of you who or still holding on to that Lame, Dumb and Stupid IDEA IN
your AIR HEAD that rihanna isn’t Talented then keep that thought process going on
while rihanna reaches even hight heights on her Journey around the globe.
RIHANNA IS THE QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE, B**%%**!
WHILE RIHANNA reaches even higher heights
on her career journey!
People need to stop hating, they need someone to judge the fashion and style of the show. LOL
@ StAN .. This is so true . To promote her upcoming projects. Why didn’t I think of that at first. LA REID it’s all about making the money and keeping the money coming in.
Well marketing strategy is key. Did it help J Lo? It didn’t. it is a chance grab on to it.
this seems so farfetched, when will she get the time when she will be on tour.
Well she isn’t the best talent but hey, don’t underestimate her. She may not sing well but her idols are beyonce and mariah carey so I’m sure she knows good music and good singing when she hears it. The judges don’t have talent either except deciding who has the looks and the voices. It’s still all based on opinion and experience in the music industry and rihanna has that.
I don’t know about you guys !
But being a beyonce fan myself , I think shading/hating on Rihanna because she aren’t talented like bey is old and tired as f*** , and it won’t affect bey or Rihanna !
If u don’t like her and think she’s untalented unlike bey , why you bother writing essays about her ?!
@pop royalty :
Keep being a Stan ! You aren’t the only one here !
Join the club sweetheart !
Me and beyonce love you too because you are such a loyal Stan !
Love you
@KERRON:
You are welcome 😉 ! I will keep doing it 😉
@MISSIMPARTIAL :
not to be rude , but I do what I think it’s right ! I do it all the time !
get used to it !
Well, this will at least gain (hopefully) her popularity in the US. She does have good taste in music, as someone in here mentioned (although she isn’t the most talented girl out there) – her idols being everyone from Mariah, Whitney and Beyonce to Bob Marley, Alicia Keys and Brandy.
Rihanna is working with what she’s got, and considering her huge success, it seems to be working. I cannot believe how immensely popular Rihanna is… I mean, this b**** is really fierce! The Rihanna take-over. Deal with it b******.
Though Rihanna’s not the best vocalist or performer, i’m sure she knows a great performer when she sees one.
@ kimberly i do not ever recall RIH waving a RED FLAG saying shes the best at s***, She just IS. Why don’t you go and get you a good “LUBE JOB” Because you
or forever and a daaaaaaaay on many sites BAD MOUTHING RIHANNA, What ever she does is better than your broke, mean spirited jealous a** is,,,,, You hating
b**@@&& Knos no limit with that old a** hating s*** talk.
Why do you come to a RIH post in the first place???? you or a hater plain and clear and all you can do is do what s*** talkers do and that is talk s***. You and
other miserable souls like you or forever trying to tear, and bash each and every
thing this talented artist does.
IT’S funnnnnnnny how each and every thing this artist does is hated on by the likes of your m***** a** and many other miserable souls just like yo a** you
stupid heffer GAFL,,,,,,,,,,Pleassssssssse! OR you can keep commenting because its fun seeing just how dumb and empth headed many people or from all walks of life. None of us is the best at s*** we just decide on what we want to do
for a living and dig in and Rihanna wanted to be a Entertainer and she is just that
a entertainer what in the hell or yo hating a(( doing????????????????
@Lax
Calling someone a m*****? Have you looked closely at Rihanna wide nose big forehead ass. She has a head like a mandril and that’s in the m***** family. Ever looked at a gorilla’s forehead & nose?
@Lax
Also you talking about hate. You RihannaNavy are the most hateful fans out. You guys wish death and all kinds of s*** on someone else fave.
We don’t hate that b**** well at least I don’t. We just hate the face that for someone with no talent at all is being pushed in our face day after day after day. In a minute the people will get tired seeing and that day is coming very soon. You have to give people a chance to miss you. I know one thing her Handlers are getting paid big time. So with anything she does alot of the money goes to her record label/managers/handlers. L.A. Reid is going to profit too lmao
fact
new rihanna demo!! http://bananabombe.b*******.com/2011/09/new-rihanna-demo.html
@daisy but why does everyone have to be the same? Not everyone’s talent is the same as beyonce mariah or whitney or michael jackson. Sure you should be talented in the singing department since that is your proclaimed profession but talented is subjective. People have different talents and levels of talent. Not everyone is made to have a big voice like @aaliyah said, you have to work with what you got and sometimes what you have can be worked with and wether you like that person’s talent is ur opinion but people should open their minds instead of being stuck to the same standard if you don’t have a voice like whitney, you’re not a good singer. B*******. But that’s just my 2 cents. I feel like I’m rambling. I’ll stop.
You don’t have to be a power house vocalist to judge someone else’s vocals. You don’t even have to be able to sing to judge someone else on their vocals! How many of you idiots who judge Rihanna’s vocals can actually sing???

Oh now I see why the FOX NEWS CORP is forever going after C. Breezy! They are in bed with Jay-Z’s playmate Rihanna. Oh okay it all makes sense now.
As for Rihanna judging talent, don’t make me laugh. Shouldn’t a judge of talent exhibit the slightest bit of it?
@daisy
Thank you! You summed up my criticism of her and the media quite well. I don’t hate her persay, but having her constantly rammed down my throat is tiresome. She is semi-talented at best. At worse, she is a complete flop with media backing and industry support from the likes of L.A. Reid and Jay-Z.
Wow, Grape Juice Staff what happened to you guys today or did you have a nice dream about RIri? For one the first times since i have been reading this blog, Riri’s name has not been joined with goat or microphone catastrophe( paraphrasing that is). I noticed she was referred to as an entertainer with no extra insults to follow. Interesting
@Aaliyah
I’m confused, you don’t think Rihanna is popular in the US? She is on the cover of every major magazine and has performed on all of the major programs on cable & local TV. How is that not making her popular? The media favors her & her music more then they do Beyonce at this point I think.
Will yall shut up about TALENT WHO THE HELL GIVES A F*** !!!
I have more talent then all of yall combined !
Jlo non-singing ass cant even sing and shes on American Idol which is for singing and not DANCING STUPID ASS JLO FANS !
Rihanna slays your lives !
I will def have my popcorn, wine cooler and legs kicked up as I recline to view on those nights my girl Rih will be on. CHEERS, I DRINK TO DAT!
LOLLLL@ THE GIF
HOW IN THE WORLD CAN RIHANNA JUDGE TALENT WHEN SHE CANT EVEN SING LIVE HERSELF?
@JER
NEWS FLASH Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston didn’t write S***. And they’re legends. Rihanna is on her way!
LOL. That was just pathetic. I can’t even write, I’m lauhing my ass off. You’re such a basic b****, I ain’t surprised that you’re Rihanna stan. For real. Aretha and Whitney may not have written any song, but they had their voices to back up them. They’re legends because they were one of the best singers of all time. Their talents are unique and have inspired many people. And no one thinks about Rihanna when it comes to good vocals, gurl. You have to deal with it.
I don’t know what artistic thing you see on Rihanna, but she can’t sing nor dance, doesn’t have stage presence and doesn’t write nor produce her songs. Where’s her artistic touch? She barely has any proper connection to her songs. Rihanna is just good on taking photos. That’s it. If taking good photos is to be artistic, iconic and legendary, therefore Rihanna is the next Michael Jackson.
This gurl has nooooo shame.
