An icon. A legend. One of the greatest voices to grace Pop music.
While the above can all be said of Mariah Carey, there’s no denying that her time at the top has come with its difficulties.
However, above all the trials and tribulations life has thrown at the ‘Triumphant’ diva since her chart arrival, none can compare to the horror that was Rihanna‘s cover of her Afanasieff produced, ‘Hero‘.
Both shocking and disturbing, Rihanna’s take on the song still darkens many a happy memory related to the song- even eight years after it happened.
However, as to ensure nobody feels left out, TGJ dedicates today’s edition of ‘Retro Rewind’ to the ghastly cover, hours after her talented rival Rita Ora wowed fans with a cover of Carey’s Christmas classic ‘All I Want For Christmas‘ here.
Pain and distress below…
Our sentiments exactly B, our sentiments exactly.

I can’t believe you went there, Sam! In Rihanna’s defense this song is very hard to do but still a horrendous cover it was. I loved her Mariah Carey-esque hand gestures that she was doing though, I do the same thing lol.

We all know that there’s only One Mariah, but thanks MIMI for

showed the world and many of us what you can do if
you are willing to work long and hard, and give it all
you have got. Rihanna was talked about as a youngster
but she still has showed the world that shes willing and

and u clearly need to watch more of Lana’s performances. she CAN sing, she can sing wayyyyyyy better than Rihanna. i agree tt her SNL performance was crap, but her more recent performances are amazing, they even better Rihanna. and rmb, Lana doesnt lip sync, rihanna does! and if you are going to judge Lana’s singing ablities based on her SNL performance only, than based on the above video, RIHANNA CANT SING

But it’s okay because when I am no longer around to TAPPP ASSES THE NAVY will still carry on because its not Fair the way Rihanna ias hated on for no reason but it’s Okay the hate helps to keep her and her navy highly motivated up on high,,,

Posting videos of Rihanna before she was professional will not helpy your fave Christina Agrowlera learn how to not deafen her audience. Nor will it get Rita A hit in the U.s.. Nor will it sell copeis of Roman reloaded.

After forming a girl group with two classmates, Rihanna, 15, auditions for veteran producer Evan Rogers, who tells Entertainment Weekly, “The minute Rihanna walked into the room, it was like the other two girls didn’t exist.” She eventually moves to Connecticut to live with Rogers and his wife, while cutting a four-song demo. “When I left Barbados, I didn’t look back,” Rihanna adds. “I wanted to do what I had to do, even it meant moving to America.”

Rihanna’s Debut
Rihanna releases her first single, “Pon de Replay,” kicking off her debut album, Music of the Sun, and it peaks at No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100. The Barbados beauty tours with Gwen Stefani to promote her album, which sells more than 2 million copies worldwide. Rolling Stone calls the album “a seductive mix of big-voiced R&B and souped-up island riddims – what Beyoncé might have sounded like if she had grown up in the West Indies and skipped the whole Destiny’s Child thing.”

Eight months after the release of her debut album, Rihanna releases her sophomore album, A Girl Like Me. The album boasts Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers “S.O.S.” and “Unfaithful,” and earns her four Billboard Music Awards, including Female Artist of the Year. But the success is paired with gossip that Rihanna is romantically involved with her mentor Jay-Z, who is dating pop star Beyoncé. “At first I was like, ‘Ha ha, it’s funny,’” Rihanna tells the AP. “Now I just ignore it and I’m numb to it…You cannot stop people from saying what they want to say.”

I have to act and think like an adult so much. He makes me feel young again.” In February, the pair is spotted awfully close in a pool in Jamaica.

You’re right, Katy and Rihanna are more famous than Mariah Carey today, but 50+ years from now people will still cite Mariah as their influence much like how Rihanna cited Mariah as her influence. You seem to be forget the little detail that Mariah’s “generation” passed with Celine, Janet, Whitney, etc in the 90s before the likes of Beyonce, Xtina, Britney, etc were in the scene and she’s survived them and now she’s in a pool with a newer generation of stars like Taylor, Gaga, Rihanna, Katy, etc and best believe that if she survived Whitney, Celine, Madonna, Janet (top girls) and Beyonce, Britney, Xtina (second generations)…..she’ll survive Katy and Rihanna and remain unbothered.

Also Mariah will never be irrelevant. Her 18 million dollar paycheck for Idol is a testament to that. Not to mention her songs are ALWAYS covered in EVERY SINGLE singing show. And not just her hit singles, her lesser known songs like “Anytime You Need a Friend” was just covered on X-Factor.

Are you serious? I worry about your mental state if you honestly believe Rihanna could EVER cover Hero. She simply does not possess the vocal ability to ever do that song justice. And Mariah’s recent Jimmy Fallon performance proves that she is in a far higher league of vocal talent than Rihanna.

the collaboration was influenced by their past experiences of domestic violence. Recording sessions were held in Ferndale, Michigan, and Dublin, Ireland. The song is a midtempo hip hop ballad with a pop refrain. Backed by guitar, piano and violin, it describes two lovers who refuse to separate despite being in a love–hate abusive relationship.

Love the Way You Lie” is the second single from American rapper Eminem’s seventh studio album Recovery. Singer Skylar Grey was inspired to write and record the demo with Alex da Kid when she felt that she was in an abusive romantic relationship with the music industry. Eminem wrote verses to the track and chose Barbadian singer Rihanna to sing the chorus.

Eminem promoted “Love the Way You Lie” with performances at the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo, the MTV Video Music Awards and many festivals. The music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, stars Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox in a violent relationship and shows Eminem and Rihanna in front of a burning house. The clip had a mixed reception due to scenes of domestic violence. Some critics suggested that it alludes to the personal lives of Eminem and Rihanna.

Artists and groups such as Cher Lloyd and The Band Perry performed cover versions. Rihanna has said that its theme of domestic violence, a topic on which she claims many people do not have insight, is what makes the song effective. She later recorded “Love the Way You Lie (Part II)”, which is narrated mostly from the female perspective

If you begin to name black female pop stars from the 1980s until now, you’ll be hard pressed to find more than a handful. That handful includes names such as Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston. And to be honest, the list doesn’t go much further than that. Of course there have been many black female artists in the past thirty years, but there are very few who have taken over top 40.
Why is this? There’s no science to it. I think it has more to do with marketing and image. For instance, when the world was first introduced to Whitney Houston she had the looks of America’s Sweetheart and the voice of a real diva. By hooking up with record industry legend Clive Davis, he managed to help her maintain a viable MTV presence as well as appearances on national shows that garnered attention from the mainstream media. When Houston peaked in the early 1990s, she was still seen as all-American and wholesome even though she married the troublesome Bobby Brown.

Janet Jackson also had the same innocence and appeal due to her following that was built from fans of her brothers (Jackson 5) as well as her own fans from her stints on shows like Fame and Good Times. By the time of her breakthrough album in 1986, Janet was seen as sassy and fun-loving but still relatively harmless. It wasn’t until her 1993 album, Janet that people finally saw her as a young woman with a deep and powerful sexuality. However, because of nearly a lifetime in public, she was still highly regarded.

And then there’s Beyonce who essentially picked up where Janet left off. She fronted the childhood group of friends that became Destiny’s Child and around 2003 launched the solo career which she is currently known for. Destiny’s Child was a powerful launching pad because of their girl-power anthems and sassy attitude. But due to frequent lineup changes and other issues, the group ultimately broke up. It was hoped that Beyonce would continue the legacy of the group’s female-empowered anthems, but she opted to go in a different direction.

Beyonce’s success has paved the way for more black females in pop, most notably Rihanna who inevitably drew comparison’s since she was signed by none other than Jay-Z at the tender age of 16. However, for all of Beyonce’s influence Rihanna’s musical style is more of a fusion of dance, pop, and reggae. But the comparisons remain nonetheless.

In 2006. she released her second album. The video for the first single,”Deja Vu” evoked images of Josephine Baker and the infamous banana skirt. Beyonce stated that she was paying homage to a fashion icon and trailblazer among African-Americans; she worked closely with Baker’s son even to capture the essence of the look.
Beyonce had managed to get away with that, but by the time of her third album, people weren’t hearing it. I Am.. Sasha Fierce garnered multiple Grammys, but that still didn’t silence Beyonce’s critics.

“Single Ladies” was a movement in 2008. The dance, the look, all infiltrated pop culture at warp speed. However, it was not without controversy. The hand motions, especially gave way to the fact that Beyonce said she was inspired by the choreography of the legendary of Bob Fosse.
But no matter how many funny SNL parodies pop up, there were steal multiple controversies about that dance among others. While Beyonce continues to say she was inspired by the looks and performances of other icons, no doubt even performing with one of them. This question of stealing has now hit a peak in 2011.

Beyonce isn’t the only young superstar to face this issue, but others have overcome it. Other pop stars have had the same battles. Britney Spears faced the Madonna comparisons, but in her own right has now built her own pop empire. Usher and Justin Timberlake were both heavily compared to their idol, Michael Jackson but somehow managed to create their own sound while still being true to their influences. Justin Timberlake even re-wrote discarded tracks intended for Michael Jackson’s last studio album, Invincible, for his debut album. And while he faced criticism at first, he later reaped the rewards in the form of a few Grammys. Usher also has had massive success by experimenting with techno and dance music.

And while there is no real way to say what constitutes borrowing or stealing, there is something to be said for forging your own identity or style but almost ten years into being a solo artist, it’s hard to classify something that uniquely applies to Beyonce. Sure she has songs like “Single Ladies” and “Irreplaceable”, but those were written by other artists and collaborators. However, her other songs and videos even seem to resemble too much of artists’ past.

@MC It really don’t matter because you see Beyonce was in the game in 2003 Rihanna didn’t come until late in 2005. Beyonce has dropped the exact same Number of Albums as Rihanna has and still Yet Rihanna is compared to Beyonce more then any other artist with their asses pointing to the ground, period.

I can’t believe this. Sam is so pressed. Rihanna was actually good in the beginning but she struggled in the end, but its ok cuz this song is not easy to sing. And she was like 15.
You need to end this obsession with this RITA ORA chick. She’s the biggest FLOP in MUSIC HISTORY. She will never be on RIHANNA’s level. And she MOST CERTAINLY WILL NEVER BE ON MARIAH’ LEVEL.
I swear, Sam is more childish than some of the people on this blog. And i saw the shade that you were throwing at mariah too.

No need to shade Sam, he does a great job of shading himself.
1. He said Rita was getting the crowd excited when everyone present looked like they were promised food and shelter out of homelessness and debating whether or not they wanted to just go back to begin homeless again. The crowd was dead silent even though Rita was running around like a white money in a clown’s make-up.
2. Rita’s performance wasn’t good and no one is under the illusion that Rihanna is a great singer.
3. Everyone alive, past, present, future and even the hermits living under a rock have seen this performance.
4. Lastly he uses a Beyonce gif from the ’4′ era……lets not…..

Read it and weep
Rihanna is SHORT SELLING her mansion. The Bajan singer is asking sellers to pay $2.5 MILLION LESS than the amount she paid for the home just two years ago.
The home was just put up for listing – and is being listed as a SHORT SALE – meaning that Rihanna’s MORTGAGE on the home is greater than the amount of money she’s ASKING.
So we know what you’re thinking – isn’t it a SMART idea to do a short sale if the value of the home is less than the amount of the mortgage owed. Well the fact is that banks will NOT approve of a short sale, if they believe the borrower has the FINANCES to continue paying the mortgage. So that means unless she’s BROKE or under financial DISTRESS . . . she CAN’T do a short sale. And if she KNOWINGLY advertised the sale of her home as a SHORT SALE (like she did below) knowing that she WOULD NOT QUALIFY, that could be considered a FRAUD.
And even if they DO approve of the short sale, the DAMAGE to Rihanna’s credit would be severe. She’d be unable to get another mortgage on a home for at least 5 years.
So HOW could Rihanna be under such financial distress . . . isn’t she one of the BIGGEST ARTISTS in the world? Well maybe we can ask her MANAGER, Jay Z and em . . . .

@16GRAMMYS,,,
A lot of these artists claim to be songwriters, but don’t always write a thing. Some, like Beyonce, serve as vocal arrangements, which points to part of the song’s composition, and thus, receive a songwriting and production credit. Others, like Beyonce, can demand credit based on their name alone. I myself have heard of new song writers looking for placement with Beyonce’s last album being told Beyonce demands a certain amount of publishing upfront (and it’s substantial) or they could “be paid handsomely” to politely remove their name from the song altogether. Fact is, Beyonce didn’t write one song on “I Am…Sasha Fierce.” Beyonce and her team have bought the rights from the songwriters and then Beyonce took credit for it. I have no idea about previous albums but it’s obvious that Beyonce never had a pen in her hand, which is a shame because Beyonce claims something she isn’t.

The navy need to just get over the fact that she’s never been a strong singer. And probably never will. I mean she has admitted she doesn’t like to train her voice. She’d rather smoke weed than rehearse. I’m also surprised that this was the performance that impressed a producer back then to get her signed. I’m pretty sure he liked the way she looked. She has a mediocre voice but at least she’s built her brand enough to be able to sing a good portion of her own songs and maybe that was her label’s plan. But she fails often to deliver her own songs live at the same time too which makes many question her credibility as a singer. And she did not sell 100 million. I love the way you lie, Navy. Keep inflating tho! Smh.

Rihanna doesn’t need Mariah vocals to sell records though. Rihanna’s voice is the money maker and without it she wouldn’t be this big.

Meanwhile, at No. 2 on the Top Artists recap is Rihanna, who comes in second for the second year in a row. The star has yet to be artist of the year, despite having placed quite highly almost every year since her debut in 2005. She also ranked among the top 10 acts in 2006, 2008 and 2010. This year, however, she can crow about being No. 1 on the Hot 100 Artists tally for the first time, thanks to mega-hits like “We Found Love” (featuring Calvin Harris), which spent 10 weeks atop the Hot 100. The SRP/Def Jam/IDJMG collaboration, which arrived in late 2011, finishes 2012 as the No. 8 song on the Hot 100 Songs recap. Despite Rihanna’s track record on the Hot 100 (she notched her 12th No. 1 this year with “Diamonds”), the closest she had come to being the Hot 100′s top artist was in 2008, when she was runner-up.
