Rihanna Releases New ‘777’ Documentary Trailer / Critics Rip Show To Shreds

Published: Saturday 4th May 2013 by Sam

As anyone who’s been to a Rihanna show (that wasn’t cancelled) will agree, performing isn’t where her “wow” factor lies. Indeed, even her staunchest supporters will be the first to confirm that it’s her catalogue of hits that make her, for better or worse.

Therefore, it’s little surprise that her new ‘777’ tour documentary has been unceremoniously slammed by critics.

Set to air on Fox on May 6th, the fly on the wall special chronicles the 25-year-old’s 7 shows, in 7 cities, over 7 nights promo push for her hit album ‘Unapologetic’. The ‘Diamonds’ led set, which is her 7th LP, became her first chart-topping project in the US upon release last November.

And while the album’s success may relay a triumphant narrative, its accompanying docu-movie reportedly boasts little in replay value. Not a good look when the full 77 minute version of the hour-long special will be released on DVD a day later (May 7th).

Peep its new trailer and critic comments below…

It would appear the trailer’s editors did a stellar job with the teaser, as these are just a few of what media outlets had to say about the show:

Entertainment Weekly (Rating: D+)

Last November, Rihanna invited dozens of journalists on her 777 Tour, consisting of seven concerts in seven countries in seven days, via a 777 aircraft. Headlines during the extravaganza deemed the trip a ‘fiasco,’ with press complaining that Rihanna was unavailable and they were tired (boo-hoo!). Not shockingly, this one hour special about the whole shebang is even less interesting than those grumpy on-the-scenes reports. Bless that extremely cute, streaking Australian near the end, or there’s be no reason to turn in.

Digital Spy (Rating: 2 Stars)

In the absence of any drama, newsworthy moments or interview time with the singer (“give us a quote” they all chant), the only highlights were an Australian DJ streaking on the plane and a performance from Rihanna in each country; though even these eventually grow tiresome. 

“I can’t please everyone… as long as my fans are happy that’s all I f**king care about,” Rihanna concedes at stop number five in Berlin, looking fed up, exhausted and desperate to free herself of her unwanted guests so she can get on with her day job”

MTV UK:

In fact there’s not a lot of “the real” Rihanna in the documentary at all. Apart from a short intro at the start of the journey and a thank you once it’s finished, it doesn’t seem like her passengers got to spend much time up close and personal with the Diamonds singer… certainly not half as much RiRi time as they would have hoped.

************

Ouch.

Given how “majah” her movement is at the moment, one would expect she’d be able to generate positive press with the cut of  the right cheque. However, it’s clear that the media won’t be manipulated this go round. No putting a pretty bow on her usual BS this go round.

Perhaps it’s time to stop ‘pouring it up’ in the club, tailoring her life to the tabloids, and outrightly refusing to realize her potential. Because it appears her era of “automated” success is nearing its end.

  4. JARED (WHITE DUDE) May 4, 2013

    Awww.

    This site is just so cute.

    So, @TGJ, will it be okay if I, or any of the Navy, bring forth the ‘negative’ reviews that surrounded Beyonce’s ‘Life is but a Dream’ documentary?

    Also, how nice was it of you @Samantha to just highlight the ‘bad reviews’ that those critics gave this tour, yet somehow forget to include the ‘good’?

    HAVE I STRUCK A NERVE?

    …Probably not. This is another ‘money-making’ day in the life if this site – create more conflicts and stan wars!!!

    Oh, if only we all could see past the B*******!!!

        You mean you’re using my screen name! F****** troll!

      • JARED (WHITE DUDE) May 4, 2013

      @VISIONOFMIMI

      I do really like Mariah and respect her, but don’t come for Rihanna like that when your fav is not much better… Lets ask Eminem, he knows both very well 😉

  6. Likica May 4, 2013

    I knew that they couldn’t resist without making a shady post after the winning one. You need help as soon as possible, your obsession is so sick.

    I think I am going to search This blog to find every post about Rihanna and do my own documentary, called ” thosegrapenuts” and their jealous obsession with Rihanna”, you guys are out of freaking control! Sam, what is really the issue with you and your underlying infatuation with Rihanna, and then you’re bipolar with it, one minute it’s utter hate and the next you’re in love with her. You are a confused little girl!

  20. lover Bey May 4, 2013

    I mean these documentary got bad reviews because it isn’t that good. Life Is But A Dream got bad reviews to ,but not as harsh as these. Overall,I think LIBAD is better than this one Tbh. This one just seems rushed,the performances weren’t that great,so I guess she will just show us her acting crazy on a plane.

  21. Miguel May 4, 2013

    This blog keeps getting trashier every day

    With all the hate & jealously

    It’s on the level of tabloids like the Star or Daily Mail

    But I guess it must be working for ya, cause if we look at those publications and websites like TMZ, being sensationalist & hateful scum really brings in a lot of money and attention

    • HOTSTUFF May 4, 2013

      but TMZ actually has accurate news …we can’t say the same for that grape s***…

      • VisionOfMimi May 4, 2013

        No b****, this is when I have to step in. Grape Juice can be messy but they never lie.

      • JanetXone May 4, 2013

        Even I have to admit that’s wrong because I’ve been coming here for five years. TGJ are biased but they have never lied about anything I can think of.

      • VisionOfMimi May 4, 2013

        @Likicka
        I hate when they defend Nicki over Mariah but that’s their opinion, it doesn’t mean they lie. If they lied i wouldn’t come here everyday.

    • Likica May 4, 2013

      @VISIONOFMIMI
      Then you should be really happy when they drag your fav and praise Nicki Minaj xD

      • MIGUEL May 4, 2013

        Shut up you dumb b****

    • MsAdkins May 4, 2013

      The worst thing about this site is that they actually don’t lie, everything they say is true but it’s the way they do it that makes some people side eye them. I like it though, Sam is a good writer and they’re the only blog that us all the stan girls in one place.

    • RICHANDBLACK11 May 4, 2013

  25. christinastheerealtalent May 4, 2013

    Why do we need a damn Rihanna documentary? Is it because Beyoncé released one and now Rihanna feels like she needs one too? Why is it every time Ciara releases a new song, here comes Rihanna mocking it and reminding the world about her string of #1 songs? Why is it that every time another female one-ups Rihanna, here she comes perpetuating her own controversy just so she can keep the attention on her.

    • POP ROYALTY ( Bohemian Grove) May 4, 2013

      ,said a beyonce fan. #CLASSIC

    and those leaked e-mails that say the whole inauguration Lipsyncing-gate was pre-planned by Beyonce’s team ?

    or that russian artist “kerli ?” calling out the h** on her BS ?

    or Obama slamming Jay-z ?

    or a Post about Beyonce demanding a red toilet paper or she won’t go to a date in her tour ?!

    Now that is ‘OUCH’

  37. King B Agent May 4, 2013

    Beyonce life is but a dream reviews.

    Oprah Winfrey who attended the premiere and interviewed Knowles before its screening called it “fiercely empowering,” and said “she shocked me, I was in tears. … She did an amazing job… I think this documentary is a game changer.”[10] Billboard also praised it saying, “Life is But a Dream is a pleasant surprise of a watch…The well-oiled, media-trained, hit-making machine has a heart. And it’s huge.”[11] Entertainment Weekly gave a positive review saying, “”What gives this film grit are the visual displays of her work ethic and her fierce determination to “bring R&B music back” to the center of current pop music, to ‘forget being cool’ and reveal naked passion.”[12] Carrie Battan from Pitchfork Media wrote that “there’s no unturned insight, no secret to be discovered in this documentary besides the fact that she’s simply everything we want her to be.”[13] Television critic Alessandra Stanley from The New York Times wrote the film “is as contrived as Madonna: Truth or Dare, but probably for good reason it is neither daring nor entirely truthful. It’s an infomercial, not just about Beyoncé’s talent onstage but her authenticity behind the scenes. She is a people-pleasing diva and she wants to keep it that way.”[14] Los Angeles Times wrote the documentary “remains a victory for her fans. Casual viewers will most likely glean the same sense of the superstar’s life as one might from a magazine feature. But for serious fans of the fiercely private superstar, this remains a window into her life.”[15]
    The Hollywood Reporter said “this is less a documentary portrait than a micromanaged video diary exploring the R&B superstar’s relationship with her laptop. The HBO film will be candy to her fan base; just don’t expect startling insights into the woman behind the talent.”[16] Adam Markovitz of Entertainment Weekly described the documentary as “a delicate mix of the calculated and confessional, designed to let us just far enough into Knowles’ world to keep us interested in her next tour, album, soda allegiance, etc.”[17] Philly.com wrote Life Is But a Dream “is a carefully filtered snapshot of an artist who has enough power to become maker of her own myth.”[18] Writing for Zap2it, Geoff Berkshire called it a “vanity project and calculated act of image control. The only thing revealed by the film — co-directed, co-written and co-executive produced by Beyonce herself — is a narcissistic inability to give up that desire for control.”[19]

  38. Beyonce’, the queen, that bitchhh! May 4, 2013

    Bad reviews, bad performances, missed dates. I would never!

  39. mildred May 4, 2013

    • Ok! May 4, 2013

      Rotfl! I be saying the same thing! He’ll never meet either of them so what’s his reason for bashing one and not the other!

  48. YES May 4, 2013

    Lemme just put my two cents in here…
    I’m sure some critics loved this Doc, but I am not surprised if this got bad reviews. There is no insight and there is nothing revealed about Rihanna that we already did not know so I believe. It is a documentary about a plane flight with multiple stops, fans and journalists on that plane and Rihanna’s promotional machine.
    If, say, it was about her and Chris from their point of view or the toll that touring can take on someone who also wants to enjoy their life like Rihanna does and the balance that somebody has to achieve and/or things they have to give up on to be in the public eye then maybe this would’ve received better reviews.
    Life is but a dream did have it’s mediocre reviews. And there were plenty of them. The documentary in itself, personally, was very bizarre I thought. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t appreciate what I took from it. I also don’t think any of the LIBAD reviews were as harsh as the ones here because Beyonce revealed things about her father, her miscarriage, relationship with Jay-Z and it gave us all an insight into her life that we never had before.
    Rihanna will be fine. I hope she does another documentary in the future, because her story would make for great viewing if it was done right.
    By the way, I’m a through and through Beyonce fan.
    That doesn’t mean that I cannot be critical of her or indeed totally hate on her rivals. I can understand that there is PLENTY room in the music industry for everyone that is there and on the come-up.
    Variety is the spice of life.

    • MuiMui May 4, 2013

      YES good thoughts
      Beyonce HBO was edited to death and shot and though out almost every aspect of it By Beyonce and Company and they used her best live shots and it was seen through Beyonce’s eyes before the Public got it and Beyonce never let anything out of Her eye sight unless its Perfect You all know , it had to a appear great it was for HBO you’d never think nothing less.

      Rihanna on the other hand had an IDEA though and talked this Trip up just talking about it and with not much planning or though the trip was born and this is the after math which was not good from the start Who though this Doc up, I often wonder about Rihanna Managament Team.

      Many of you spend a lot of time trying to Derail everything Rihanna does and i bet you Rihanna could give a care less i know to me trying to beat a winning Filly has not worked On Rihanna no matter how hard many tries with all they have got.
      If anything these Senseless ATTACKS on Rihanna is helping to make Her brand even stronger and comparing her to Beyonce is bitter sweet , I mean who get compared to Ms Beyonce as much as Rihanna does,who?

  49. Kendall May 4, 2013

    As much as Sam shades Rihanna and is often unneccessarily negative its pretty much the truth 99.9% of the time. It must be hard to handle as a Rihanna fan.

    @ POP ROYALTY

    I am not a Beyoncé fan so STFU!

    A list of b****** I can’t stand:

    Beyoncé, Rihanna, Gaga, Kesha, Kim K, J. Lo, Mariah.

    And for the record, for somebody who wants people to stay out of her business and wants privacy, she sure as hell loves putting so much of her personal life on display and to add insult to injury, makes a documentary. What point is she trying to make/prove? Documentary’s are supposed to be made at the beginning of your career so it can help you boost your public image…not to be in vain when you’re nearly 10 years into your career.

    we live in such a sad world lol it’s baffling to see someone like Samantha get joy over someone else downfalls and prey for their career to end just because he’s not happy with himself and the girl practically body his fav. love you rir keep doing YOU, the haters wish they were living the life you live that’s why they stay on blogs leaving hateful comments checking for your next move.

    • Just to Say May 4, 2013

      Honey no, its just partial blogging.

        i’m not your honey. “partial blogging” wtf is that even suppose to mean..i love how you’re ttrying to justify samtha’s personal hate and distaste for rihanna..you’re no diffrent from him.

      • Just to Say May 4, 2013

        HONEY its the way journalism is. Theyre called blogs for a reason. Theyre generally NOT impartial. You either like it or lump it. Blogs shade and drag whoever they want. TGJ shades Rihanna, just like SR shades Beyonce, NB is probably one of the most impartial out of all the blogs. It just the way the media is.

  62. christinastheerealtalent May 4, 2013

    @ NAVI

    I know more about Rih’s personal life than I do my fave, Christina’s, because unlike Rih, Christina does not exploit her personal life for publicity and engage in controversy after controversy. At least when Christina goes through a rough time, she handles herself with dignity and maturity unlike Rih who pops a crack pipe in her mouth, posts naked pics on instagram, cancels shows citing illness but really because she wants to party.

    No matter how much evidence arises that Rih does not care about her fans and is very ungrateful for everything afforded to her, her fans remain the most delusional

    • Jas May 5, 2013

      Preach! Don’t get me wrong Beyonce’s stans can be pretty crazy too lmfao. But at least the Hive stans for an artist who actually obtains a substantial amount of talent. As opposed to the Navy, who stans for an artist who has doesn’t even take their craft seriously smdh.

    The only thing that was ripped to shreds was BeyAwnce’s flop attempt of a single, Flop Down and FLopping on the Sun.

    movies get bad reviews everyday still doesnt pull me away from watching them that being said i will watch this documentary because this is the first documentary ive seen by rihanna and listen to #beautiful during the commerical breaks #thatsall atleast ill be enjoyed by some of my faves who RELEASED something #shrugs

  66. Special Delivery May 4, 2013

    DEAD. Those reviews are terrible. Beyonces weren’t that bad even though some of them criticised her idk why every ones bringing her into it. They cannot deal.

  67. JER May 4, 2013

    Dem checks slowing down, Samantha?

  68. Naomi May 4, 2013

    Looks boring. Aint nothing we havnt seen before from this chick.

  69. KILL THE SAM GOAT May 4, 2013

    SAM did Rihanna s*** in your ass and got your father to repatriate it from your ass and serve it to you as organic beans???

    Sam your ass sure looks nasty! Tighten your security if you have any because your ass will be expanded with a sharp scissors whilst your father’s d*** will be put in your mouth or better still cook to accompany the organic beans!!!

    Hating ass b******, who have no self esteem other than wanting to shade a girl who made it out of hard work!

    Do the world a favour and slit your throat and then jump off a bridge, I bet your mother will be the happiest because she is still regretting she brought someone like you into this world. She will forever regret that drunken night she had with your druggie pleb of father who does not want to set eyes on you!

    Poor you!! Your black audience are not the one buying Rihanna’s music or supporting any of her endavours so you can shade all you want, she is here to stay!!! She got the white audience to keep her on top. The white audience does not even know a site like this exist so it does not matter. They just communicate their Mother Navy on IG.

    Kill yourself b****.

    If you can dish it, be ready to take it!!! Gay c***!!!

  70. Why The Hate? May 4, 2013

    That Grape Juice is part of Roc Nation’s marketing wing.
    It’s basically a Beyonce fan site, that also promotes Roc Nation acts, and singers associated with Beyonce and
    Jay Z.
    Rita Ora, Azaelia Banks, Lana Del Rey, Nicki Minaj, Frank Ocean, Mariah Carey, Kelly Rowland, Justin Timberlake, anyone associated with Beyonce and Jay Z, or managed by Roc Nation.
    They are rude to other acts, especially white acts, why Nicole Scherzinger gave you an interview with her, after several insulting articles on her success, i don’t know.
    That Grape Juice is one of the few sites that still supports Beyonce,
    Billboard have openly criticized her stealing ideas, one after another a long list of them,
    She was criticized for trying to steal the limelight at the swearing in of President Obama,
    for the animals who died to make her luxury sneakers,
    for her Queen Beyonce shtick, and Bow Down which was heavily criticized,
    criticized for inappropriate dancing at the Superbowl, which wasn’t suitable for a family audience in a lot of people’s eyes,
    criticized for her documentary life is but a dream, which was called self indulgent and uninteresting
    criticized by Mitch Winehouse for stealing Back to Black, she only paid the right’s to use the song, after he complained about the issue and it caught attention through twitter.
    But not a single comment on That Grape Juice about it.
    It’s all positive, so while That Grape Juice might not overtly lie, it doesn’t exactly the truth, and also embellishes a lot.
    I like Beyonce, but it’s like her soul has been abducted and someone else is inhabiting her body, because i don’t like her behavior or attitude.
    If Rihanna retires, this site is over, because Sam has made a career out of attacking her.
    Even so the comment telling Sam to kill himself is disgusting and very offensive to everyone reading it.
    I hope whoever wrote that is ashamed of themselves.
    But it’s a reflection on the overall tone of the site which is very substandard and encourages pointless fighting and muck throwing between people.

    • Mwah May 4, 2013

      But Rihanna is one of the biggest acts associated with Roc Nation.

  71. Mwah May 4, 2013

    Rihanna fans need to seriously get over the shadce on this site. Blogging is not supposed to be politically correct with equal opportunities. There are plenty other sites you can visit. Go to other blogs that shade Beyoncé and get your life on there it hurts you so much. But you will keep coming back and giving him the hits, so why should he stop? Is it really affecting Rihannas career? No.

  72. Teah May 5, 2013

    BEYONCE’S WEAVE, NICKI MINAJ’S ASS, RIHANNA GETTING HER ASS WHOOPED BY CHRIS BROWN>>>>>>>>>>>>>RIHANNA LIVE!

  73. Jas May 5, 2013

    Wow, and I thought that Beyonce’s doc. reviews were bad smdh. Oh well, being that I don’t care for Rihanna anyways I guess it really doesn’t matter. I won’t be helping her doc. get anymore ratings.
