Watch: Rihanna Shines On The ‘SNL’ Stage *Updated*

RIHANNA SNL Watch: Rihanna Shines On The SNL Stage *Updated*

‘Diamonds’ diva Rihanna shone bright aboard tonight’s episode of ‘Saturday Night Live’.  The Anne Hathaway-hosted affair saw the Bajan bleater unleash live renditions of hits from her forthcoming ‘Unapologetic’ album (due November 19th).

Despite bringing her trusty backing track to the ‘SNL’ set less than 6 months ago to promote a different album, Riri is back…but is she better than ever?

You tell us below:


Not exactly her epic “Where Have You Been” showing from SNL earlier this year, but it was…umm…interesting nonetheless.

Vocally, a decent performance from the hit-or-miss vocal-less but visually – which is usually the singer’s strongpoint – this performance left much to be desired.  Maybe she was going for the “I Was Here” effect, who knows?

But, as much as we applaud Ri’s desire to experiment, here’s hoping future experiments continue with vocal coaching and less graphics snatched from an 80s music video.

Update:

In the words of the songstress herself…Where Have You Been?

This is the Rihanna we have been waiting to see and hope the coming days will see more of!  The conviction in this performance was convincing and commendable, as was her control – giving us a second time she’s come to SNL and really given glimpses of her capabilities.

It seems our nightly prayer meetings were not in vain, so now let us pray for continuity because this is indeed the Rihanna we need to stay!

 One step closer to laying claim of that true vocalist titling.

    • I read that on forbes most powerful Women GaGa
      is #14 and Beyonce is Number 32 and Rih never made the list which is fine by Me and since the Bey Hive love harbing
      on each and every little thing I am sure they will have a field day with the Monsters for Gagag being ahead of Beyonce and go after the Navy because Rihanna isn’t on that list, Bum Bytches!!!

    • There was a lot of lip synching going on and I don’t see anyone calling her out on it. Also Rihanna has been out too long for people to still be saying that she is improving. Think it’s time to face the fact that she will always take one step forward followed by two steps back. She did okay but I think most people grade Rihanna on a curve since the expectations are pretty low performance wise. She knew her limits and performed within them such that both renditions were ‘good for Rihanna.’

        Rih is in no way trying to take anybody else’s shine Shes all about Her own shine, her own Progression up that ladder of success in Her own Lane that she has carefully carved out for herself.

      • Whitney Houston once stated….this
        not that i’m not Comparing their Talent i’m comparing the age one reason she got so wild and out of control is because she didn’t have normal twenties or teens or anything she never got a chance to enjoy her life because she was always doing business that’s a mistake many young artist make their image becomes more important then their sanity so when they hit 30 or older ages you see them actin out and in the press looking like they’re losing their minds so I don’t mind Rihanna acting out now because that means later there will be no excuses she had her fun and when its time to settle down with kids and a family whoever that man may be she can say Ok i’m ready to do this because i’ve been there done that let’s try something new…..so let the girl live she’s 24 hell

    YAAASSSSSS, Riri gave me everything with this performance that I’m considering buying Diamonds again. She had power, she had clarity, she had diction and she sounded just like the studio version. This was an epic vocal and the crowd loved it.

    Yes my gurl Riri has grown, she is so so so much better and I cannot wait for Unapologetic. The unique tone in her voice used in her original Bajan accent is just beautiful.

      • Food For Though,,,,
        Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such

    • Rihanna in Rio to a crowd of 100,000 or more bytches,,,
      Rio Opens World’s Biggest Music Festival

      About 100,000 people turned out in Brazil for the start of the world’s biggest music festival, Rock in Rio, featuring an all-star line-up including Rihanna, Katy Perry and Coldplay.
      The event is expected to attract 700,000 people over its week-long run, with around 100,000 a day turning out to see some of the biggest names in pop and rock belting out tunes on Rio de Janeiro’s shoreline.
      The mega-show — sold out to ticket-holders paying from $50-100 — is taking place in the “City of Rock”, a specially built venue on the site of what will be the future Olympic Village when Rio hosts the 2016 Summer Games.
      “Hello Rio!” Perry screamed to the delight of the fans after launching her set with her mega-hit “Teenage Dream.” The US pop princess took the stage after several local acts and a fireworks display to kick off the night.
      Elton John and Rihanna also performed on the event’s opening night.

    Stay was just amazing. There is the future icon Rihanna, it showed off her range, vocal ability but most of all VERSATILITY. Not since Madonna has there been any chick who can take on multiple genres and turn them into artistic works of art.

    Rihanna does RnB, Pop RocK, Reggae, Electro Dance and Adult Contemporary pop. She can now add Rap, Rock Ballads, Pop ballads and House to her list. I LOVE THIS CHICK.

    =======================================================

    Samantha, where’s the review for Stay? Are you mad. I said it, Diamonds made haters post over 2000 comments on That Hood Juice, her tracklisting made haters mad, snippets made the haters even more mad. When the album drops, the haters will be setting their houses on Fire.

  • #theNAVY kills me. i like rihanna (on the radio), don’t get me wrong. but she is NO performer. she gets one performance halfway right and the NAVY acts like she is somebody’s vocal bible.

    You have got to know that if ANY respectable vocalist – brandy, bey, jazmine – gave a performance as BASIC as this bitch’s performance tonight – they would be dragged for filth (even by their own stanbases).

    Rihanna is a visuals artist – that’s why her singles do well. nobody checking for a whole album of VOCALs from this chick unless they surrounded by banging beats and autotune. No shade..again..i Love ri and i appreciate her stepping her game up.

    but i have a hard time applauding somebody stepping their game from 1 to 2 when the rest of the artists of her caliber are on stage 10!

    • This is what I’m talking about. She did okay singing these songs, especially for someone like her who sounds awful most of time. She did some X-Factor or The Voice contestants’ performances. That’s it. Both songs are very easy to be sung. I wan to see Rihanna hitting ‘Love On Top’ or ‘One Moment In Time’ notes and range. Like I said, there’s something really weird about her vocals on Diarrheamonds, they don’t sound authentic, they don’t sound like herself.
      It’s pathetic to see Titanic (aka Navy) acting like she did the SHIT when she was okay. I’ve been watching real high-skilled musicians performing for years and no one impresses me easily.
      If you want to see a real top vocals performance, watch Whitney Houston’s One Moment In Time on Grammy. This is the deal.

        job of but still yet Rihanna is Wiser and Rawer then all of the Artist Named, Because Rihanna has been CHALLEGENING
        Her self and pushing the enevlope harder then any of these R&B artist with Raunchier , Gritter, and more SEXUALIZED MORE GROWN UP LYRICS THEN ALL OF THESE CHICK PUT TOGETHER, STIRRED AND NOT SHAKEN, JUST SAYING.

      • Rih’s Lyrical content of almost every three or four songs are her way of TAPPPPPIN OFF INTO NEW TERRITORIES, Which many of these SEASONED Artist don’t attempt until much later in life.

      Jazmine, bey, and Brandy all surpass Rihanna vocally and hardly ever give terrible performances so don’t know what you’re talking about their vocal abilities are inferior. Have an arena of seats, honey. Lol. Yes, Rihanna can sing SOMETIMES but she is not in a league of being an amazing singer like the 3 you mentioned. But that’s my opinion.

        Bitch you need to learn how to read, i did not say their vocal ability are inferior BUT that they do not possess the same as Rihanna. Little do i know, Brandy, jasmine, Bey can’t sing reggae, pop, dance, house ???? i would love seeing Brandy singing Only girl. But like i said They’re rnb singers and Rihanna is a pop singer, so the comparisons are ridiculous. Everybody has their preference, i prefer pop over rnb, therefor rihanna is a better singer to me than Beyonce, brandy and jasmine….

        sound down right Stupid trying to sing about
        a “Rude Boy” and Her Lyrical content would be
        asking the Rude Boy can you get it up, Shyt.
        Rihanna does it Sexually, and with Gusto almost

      The aforementioned artists, again, DEMOLISH Rihanna vocally & I say this as someone who enjoys Rihanna’s work.

  • Sorry but that wasn’t at all good and from what I saw just proves that she isn’t a true vocalist by any stretch of the imagination. She was pitchy and thin, and tried to be something she wasn’t. Even when she occasionally hits the right notes, it still isn’t any good because just the sound of her voice is bad. Ashley Simpson was better than her the night her backup tape malfunctioned.

  • “Rihanna is cliche of everything that has ever been disingenuous about the music business. A soulless Barbie Doll, with plastic doll parts, who was plucked off the streets of no where and put on–simply because the outfit was her size. In other words: commerce…created and puppet mastered by money grubbing music executives as a tool to co-opt what is currently popular for fast cash, and pandered to the dingiest of music listeners who are not discerning enough to care.

    You have to give the label, the management, the A&R people, the songwriters, the producers, the directors and the thousand other magicians involved their credit for being savvy enough to outfit this garden-variety debutante with material and promotion to keep her afloat…but let’s be real, there is nothing ‘special’ or ‘unique’ about Rihanna, herself. She has little talent, no personality or strong image, nor does she command the stage. Anyone could have been cast in the role Rihanna plays; she just lucked out. For all intents and purposes, Rihanna is akin to a can of Hormel Chili; basically a canned product with a label (and a ‘sell by’ date) on it.

    The bottom line is that Rihanna was not built to last and is very “replaceable.” This is why she does not take breaks, and repetitiously puts out a generic by-the-numbers pop album every year. Being that she has little ‘star power,’ in order to sustain her momentum she has to continually strike while the iron is hot, while employing a multitude of petty ‘stunts’ to get attention (tacky wigs, brothel attire, referencing her tumultuous relationship Chris Brown years later.) The moment she sits down to catch her breath, ten more record label assembled chippies will be thrown into the ring and the last two standing will be the next “Rihanna.”

    In 2012, no more do we need windup doll acts like Rihanna getting on camera and posing like an androidian cast-off from America’s Next Top Model, while vapidly bleating over an empty dance track, hanging around longer than the fifteen minutes that is typically allotted for manufactured pop stars such as her. It’s just getting sad now, and the quality is dipping. Gone are the pseudo-interesting songs like “Umbrella,” now she is peddling random, monotonous dead air like “We Found Love.” The girl has run her course; at this point she is on autopilot and is fast becoming the equivalent of a skipping record.”

    • if rihanna is what you said she is then she would be in the RNB grave yard. example T error Marie. Rihanna has more control over her career than most of these other chicks.. when it come to music , Rihanna is not one track minded. she touches every genre.
      when they told her she cannot do “shut up and drive” because she black she told them “just watch me” the rest is history. rihanna is the only artist who survive beyonceitis.
      you can go down the list of female who’s career did not survive beyonce onslaught.. every successful artist have to have a machine around them. they cannot do it alone. you need good mgmt,and PR . you need good A&R and producers. you need good song writers. all the parts has to be working to be a mega star. Frank Sinatra, Elvis or Whitney never wrote any of their songs . Do you know the planning Clive Davis had to do before he release Whitney’s first album? he pick all the songs, he let her do many photo shoots to find the right picture. he never let her did an interview with urban radio.. had Whitney fall in the wrong hands she could have end up in the RNB grave yard even with that voice. so don’t hate on rihanna because he has a machine behind her. without a machine an artist is nothing. their is a reason why the label has a machine . it works.

      Diamonds Over view,,,,,,
      Rihanna‘s new single “Diamonds” forgoes the neon strobe lights of her recent singles like “We Found Love” and “Where Have You Been” for more of a gently glistening vibe to go along with the song’s title. The production scaled back the energy, giving the song a pleasing lightness which helps accentuate RiRi’s strong vocals and slightly different timbre.

      Report this comment

  • #ICAN’T at Rihanna fans thinking she slayed because one less mirror shattered than usual. The reality is that a “good” performance for her is still below average. If a trained singer sounded like Rihanna did tonight, their fans would be mortified. But I suppose when expectations are low, it’s easy to be impressed.

    LOL, I see the haters have brought re-enforcements. I personally was already sold with the American Idol – California Kind Bed performance on Rihanna’s vocal ability. She is a top notch vocalist because she possesses something many artists don’t have and those are diction, unique tone and versatility.

    Some people can only sing RnB, some people can only sing Rock, some people can only sing Dance music, some people can only sing Reggae. Rihanna on the other hand can do them all, and she does them all well. That’s what makes her a top notch vocalist. There has never been a woman as versatile as this since Madonna, NEVER.

  • My grandma used to tell me how people would compare Ella Fitzgerald to Billie Holiday and say Ella was better.

    Yes Ella had a bigger voice, and was slightly more popular, but what made Billie, her equal, was that she knew what fit her thinner voice and sang those songs, and her great emotional interpretation of the songs she sang.

    I would say beyonce has the bigger voice(ella), but Rih is more intuitive about what works for her.

    They are both talented with flaws!

    Some of yall act so silly and feel you have to be one sided to be a fan.

    It is possible to like different artist, and appreciate them for them without nonsense agendas.

    Sorry for the essay. It just get so tedious reading some of this biased shit.

  • LOL I’m literally DYING at the Navy trying to spin her lacked performances into gold. Good for her is still poor for anyone who can actually sing scales in tune. I sound better than Rihanna when I sing in the shower and along with my car radio, and I’m no singer. If yall actually think that was good, then I got some magic beans to sell you for a really good price.

    It’s sad how just shockingly low the standards for pop singers are today. Rihanna wouldn’t have lasted a day against the talent that existed just a few years before her. This Internet/iTunes generation will accept any flaky no talent shopping mall singer, so long as they are prepackaged the right way.

  • I actually liked the Diamonds performance. It was subtle, pretty & the graphics were interesting.

    In other news, why the fuck do people keep downing Bey for Rihanna’s sake? Rihanna already thinks she’s beautiful and clearly like the bitch, so why are her fans so annoyingly venemous? If Rihanna considers Jay a “big brother”, don’t you think she’d respect Beyonce as her “big brother’s” WIFE and the MOTHER of his fucking child?

    At the end of the day, Beyonce & Rihanna are both talented, stunning and very different forms of entertainers. However, both are iconic in their own right. Leave them the fuck alone and stop coming for Beyonce’s undeniable talent, megastar appeal and DEFINITE relevance in pop culture. Only the bitter c***s have something to say about her, especially if Rihanna has said nothing but nice things over the years.

    Stay off Beyonce’s fucking nuts. Rihanna’s clearly not pressed so I’m gonna need some of her pathetic stans to refill their prescriptions and get back on them meds. #clapback.

  • Diamonds: Too good to be 100% live. i may need the receipts.

    Stay: Decent vocals but let’s keep it real, the song is not that difficult especially when you have seven albums and a couple of world tours on your resume.

    She did really good but the Navel needs to calm down. Anyway, she gets A because that’s the first time I actually see her caring about hitting the right notes and giving the right amount of energy. The last time I saw this was probably during her GGGB days (when I was actually a big fan).

    I don’t see what all the hate is for.
    I’m not of the navy and I don’t care for Rihanna. I do however like diamonds.
    Rihanna knows her limits. Her vocals are pop and nothing more. She isn’t versatile because she just does pop. To be versatile you have to be doing something different. She does pop with elements of different genres. All the while never changing her delivery(Vocally).
    I do see her growth though. Also Beyonce isn’t god. She just kind of set the standards her generation.

  • Fantastic, Rihanna shows the doubters just why she is at the top of her game. Now if she could do this every performance I’d be happy. Glad she appears to be singing songs closer to her vocal comfort range, hearing her try to hit some of the high notes live in We Found Love was painful. Great vocal performance but I’ve got to agree with Sam on the styling, what on earth was she wearing to sing Diamonds? A sexy evening dress would have looked so much better and, as others have said, that shit going on in the background was distracting. Still, its nice to get a break from the haters as only a tiny number of people are so blinkered that they thought this was a bad performance. And finally we get some promo for Diamonds, even though it has done well without it. I still haven’t seen the video on TV yet, hopefully it should be on the music channels by next week. Looking forward to streaming the album (legally) to see if I’m more enthusiastic to buy it than Talk That Talk – which I still haven’t made my mind up about ;o)

  • I’m sorry but that was a typical showing, yes! Stay was good (she was standing still), we all know what standing still does for her, and that helium laced Diamond’s performance with the tricked out mic and backtracking (technology) doing it’s job. Rihanna is fake as they come she done played her Navy Cult (aka crazy stans) again….. Stay was real singing cause as usual she was not on pitch and the up and down moments (people who know a real singer hears these things) was typical Rihanna. She needs to sit down and go away for 7 years since she has done this 7 times already and still she has not grown vocally. The people who are behind this girl (writers, producers, engineers, and that marketing team) Deserve a Pulitzer award for what they have accomplished with this girl.. She better pray that satellite in the sky never goes out cause technology is all she has besides the Navy Cult… Enough!!! Oh yeah! her and Chris are lying about their relationship becasue some people dont know how to forgive and except it I do on that note but her talent, Nah!!!

    While you and your sourse might just be right,
    through all of that RIHANNA Was still able to do some other
    things that she got paid for and credit for….
    With the global release of her sixth Island Def Jam studio album Talk That Talk in November 2011, Rihanna took another giant step in her journey to dominate popular
    music and fashion worldwide.

    single, “We Found Love” (written and produced by, and featuring Scottish musician Calvin Harris) was a #1 hit in some 20 territories (including the U.S., UK, Canada, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand, and more), with too many gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications to count

    As reported by Billboard.com, she collected her 20 Hot 100 Top 10 singles faster than any other solo artist, six years and four months. The time span beat Madonna’s previous record (by five months), and placed Rihanna second only to the Beatles.

    We Found Love also
    notched Rihanna her 16th #1 Billboard Dance single. “We Found Love”’s success placed Rihanna in a very rarefied field as just the fifth woman to earn ‘20-and-over’ Top 10 hits, alongside Whitney Houston (with 23 career Top 10s), Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson (27 each), and Madonna at the top (37).

    And while DTG Articles that is Copied and Paced only on Rihanna & GaGa I Find it strange that out of all the Cazillion of artist from all walks of life that the site that wrote this article did not find any Other artist to do a Survey so to say Other then Rihanna and Gaga.

    Sam,

    Rita Ora is the amazing talent who can really sing? She went on uk xfactor – THE biggest show in the UK, and yet Shine ya light is not even in the top 10 in itunes? Huh? She went on Xfactor now her single flopped? I thought she owned the the uk and was incredibly talented ? So why is she flopping in the UK?

    Anyway, Rih slayed this SNL. Stay was a penetrative ballad – cannot wait for Mikky Ekko to perform this with her. Beyonce cannot do a ballad like this: she oversings , shouts, and has too many RNB rifts which would just make the song urban. Rih is a pop star, beyonce is NOT.

    LOL LOL I have just seen Rihanna’s SECOND GQ USA COVER…………SHE LOOKS BADASS, and on the subject of BADASS, James Bond actor, Daniel Craig, said HE WANTS RIHANNA TO BE THE NEXT BOND GIRL . Not Rita Ora, Beyonce, Ciara or Keyshia Cole.

    UK charts: Diamonds outselling Rita Ora and Unapologetic is top 10. Rita Ora had to fight hard to scrape that number 1. I have seen Beyonce latest picture on instagram…….she is in the studio all posing it up like bad ass. Only thing is, she is old and fat. Even the tight leggings looked funny on her short fat legs.

      So you telling me “the one that they call a Queen” isn’t the most popular pop star? Anything Beyonce does it gets major attention, her joining instagram made people forget about the election for a split second. She is celebrities favored celebrity. And the women of 007 said that B would make the better bond girl but who cares about shit like that tho, only ri fans because the praises only comes from her fans, whereas Beyonce is praised everywhere, everyday. She’s the most popular and respected!

She did good on this performance, well done her… but her voice is nothing mindblowing like the Navy hype it up to be. And honey the reason others say she sounds like crap, is because a lot of the time she does live. Being good on the odd performance out of how many aint good enough. And ya’ll are delusional if you think she hasn’t given some shit performances. So thats why people always go in on her.

      I couldn’t full out stan for someone if once in a while i get a good performance. How can I stan for someone when everytime i have to have a discussion on whether or not they sounded nice? Yes i will stan for couple of songs here and there but stanning is something that was designed to and for B stans (lol) jk but for real tho’, we can do that cause our bitch is the baddest, the coldest on the mic, and the rawest on stage. Even if us blogger fans didn’t exists, B would still have a stanbase of celebrities.

  • LOL
    Dead at @POP saying now that he sees this era being good now when just 5 days ago he was panicking. Boy what´s happening? We knew u were bipolar or tripolar. But more than that? :)

    Another thing: if Gaga would have released this and performed like this @pop and @suicide would be saying she copied Lana del Rey and calling her names in the of Madonna. No credibility at all you two have

    Finally, I agree with @MC : we are so used to see crap performances that when something is “good enough” people think it is amazing. These Rihanna fans are a little ridiculous exaggerating how “good” Rihanna is doing. They are getting worse to the point of becoming more delusional than Beyonce fans, and that was hard

    • Nope, it’s not because of that. It’s because people claim Rihanna cannot sing but she can and you haters have to deal with it. When she sings her dance songs she sounds crappy (autotune’s fault), but when she sings ballads she sounds pretty good.

      • even when she sings her dance songs she sounds great, she just sings them with a deeper voice at times and i think people don’t like it and sometimes shes tired, shes not a machine.

      Ok, no one said she was Jesus.

      And she sounded pretty good, “Lana del rey” as you mentioned, could never sing this well.

      • No matter how Rih does in a Performance good or bad Rih and Her Team know what the phuck they are doing. And yes
        they want all of her Performances to measure up and its clear that the people who book Rihanna know what they are in for and that is why she’s booked you dirty birds! If
        they had wanted any other artist they would have Asked for them don’t you dirty bird know that by now?

        If they had wanted some soul they would have called
        Fantasia, Jennifer, If they had wanted some R&B they would have called, Monica, KESHA, Usher, If they had wanted a Stripper breaking it down in the middle of the stage like a bytch in heat they would have called Beyonce and no they wanted what they got and that was Rihanna and it matters a dam to me if Rihanna was strutting back and forward on that stage Because the Fact of the Matter is there’s people who will pay to see Rihanna strut accross a stage and “Breath On A Mic” Bytches and yes I know yo Asses can’t stand that so keep offering yo Opinions ,,,,

    • True Navy worry about anything , so ……

      I can see she kind of stepped her game up in this performance and this is it for me.

      do i like ALL of the snippets of “unapologetic” i Heard so far ? NO i do NOT , but they are Cute still !! so I will Be Dealin’ .

      and I used to love stefani and U KNOW IT , but I left her ass for good since i saw she’s a big hypocrite !!

      and U can NOT and Will NOT comment on if she’s copying Lana or not Cuz we all know she’s copying Lana’s Looks and poses now and it is a muthafuckin’ F A C T , it’s sickening that she lost all of the originality she once had when she started ……

      i still like her somehow and i’m giving her more chance … (S) . but she’s not helping @john !

      and I’m Tribolar since u asked ;)

  • Rih, you need to make a duet with Natasha Bedingfield. Her voice is unique as well and I like her music. I would like to see you doing a song with her like this (such an iconic song). :)

    Rihanna black madonna

    November 11, 2012 at 1:05 pm

    madonna said you can never ever repeat yourself – even if it was a smash. LOL LOL at beyonce, who was crushed by Rih in 2009 with Rated R. She is working with Sean Garrett. How so futuristic! Sean Garrett is sooooooooo trendsetting. So, for this album, we have: Sean Garrett, Missy, Miguel, Hitboy, Kanye West etc. So, she is stuck in RNB mode as Rih crushed her artistry with Rated R, when Rih dropped rated Rm she has no choice but to make 4.

    LOL Beyonce lucked out in 2008. She ripped of GGGB concept. Here is how:

    The name : Good girl gone bad was a strong statement. Beyonce came with I am sasha fierce, trying to evoke her inner bad girl.

    The fashion: This was the album when Rih started to add fashion and hair. She started to make quality videos. Beyonce, then started to wear avant garde fashion designers like Giles Deacon – a designer RIH WORE FIRST, AND BETTER.

    The songs / music: Rih is the first black girl since Janet, who uses multiple genre’s. BEYONCE ENEVER EVER DONE THAT SHE IS BLACK RNB. SHE ONLY DONE TO COPY RIHANNA.

    Disturbia – Sweet dreams
    Umbrella – Halo
    Take a bow – If i were a boy
    Shut and drive – single ladies
    Hate that I love you – If I were a boy
    please don’t stop the music – Sweet dreams
    Rehab – Ego.

    She ripped off Rih’s concept of mixing style only GGGB was Cinderella and IAMSF is the wicked old ugly witch. GGGB is so much better than DIL AND IAMSF and Beyonce knows it. She is 35 and she went in the studio to copy and teenager. How old was rih when she made GGGB? A teen.

    It worked for Beyonce, But then Rih dropped Rated R and that blew Beyonce of her stool. She did not know what hit her. Never would she expect Rih to make such a creative velvet rope style LP at her young age. Much more artistic than what Beyonce was doing at 21. Rated R, creatively blows DIL out the game. By the time Beyonce, had time to recover, Rih dropped loud. And then is was over for Bey, she had no choice but to make RNB, Rih was moving too fast to catch up. That is why she launched operation Rita Ora . Beyonce knows she cannot beat Rih, so she thought a white girl could do it for her.

    Now that has failed. She is frantically trying to save her dying career. Rehashing past glories, like the superbowl and pepsi – going back to make a DIL part 2, going on instragram tough, trying to be all into fashion etc. I have just seen her latest pics of her ‘ modeling ‘ some ‘ edgy ‘ fashion Only she does not have the body or swag for high fashion and is making a fool of herself. Beyonce is gonna be the Bionic of 2013, but the humiliation will be worst for Baddiebey, than Xtina.

    Oh well. Her career was not gonna last forever.

  • That LAST NOTE!

    You can tell her voice has matured a LOT!

    Ironically, Bey’s Voice reached a major “growth spurt” at this age (24) too.

    Vocally, Musically, RIHANNA >>>>>> Your Fav!
