A reenergised Beyonce touched down in Brazil last week, arriving to grace the market with her ever impressive ‘Mrs.Carter Show’!
Last night, she rocked the world of many a Brazilian with a scorching set at ‘Rock In Rio‘ 2013, serving performances now available to peep here.
Well, not all the performances. For, thanks to fans who were at the show, more footage from the set has emerged and await your first look….below!!
#NowPlaying : Alannah Myles – ‘Black Velvet’…
We’ve seen these performances how many time ? Same for rihanna. Can we see some Bruno or Alicia
They act like Rihanna and Beyonce are the only ones on tour.
I LIKE ALICIA, SHE’S A REAL ARTIST UNLIKE THIS H** WHO STEALS WRITING CREDITS AND RIPS OFF SONGS FROM DECADES AGO. FALLIN IS EVERYTHING, ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OF ALL TIME TBH. ALICIA ALSO SOLD MORE ALBUMS THAN BEYHOE.
Alicia Keys? An artist? LOL. She steals melodies, harmonies and interpolations from other singers and don’t give them any credit.
She stole Girl On Fire from Eddie Holman, Impossible from Aretha, Like You’ll Never See Me Again from Prince, Like the Sea from Debussy. Even one of her biggest hits, Fallin’, she didn’t credit James Brown.
She can’t sing, sound off key and out of tune, can’t dance, has 0 stage presence.
“ALICIA ALSO SOLD MORE ALBUMS THAN BEYHOE. ”
Where? 4’s US sales alone shits all over Girl On Fire’s WW sales.
^ OK she’s a homewrecking h** but u can not deny Alicia is one of the last big R&B artists we have today
Alicia is boring live sorry.

Who gives a f*** tho she ain’t f****** with Cici.
FLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!! F*** THIS UGLY SLOPPY T***** WITH FAKE WIG AND BOOBS. THE SAME REPETITIVE PERFORMANCES FOR AGES, LIKE DO SOMETHING NEW FOR ONCE. P!NK SLAYS THIS H** IN PERFORMING, ALBUM SALES. BEYFAT IS NOTHING BUT A SINGLES ARTIST, OOPS I MEAN A RINGSTONES ARTIST SINCE MOST OF HER SALES COME FROM $0.00000000001 RINGTONES SALES. HER NEXT ALBUM WILL SELL 2 MILLION MAX.
When did P!nk do something new? She sings the same f****** songs for years. She has like 10 versions of So What. Even when she doesn’t work with Max Martin, who saved her career, it still sounds like his work.
She’s afraid of trying something different, ’cause she almost killed her career when se pushed the massive flop “Try This”.
Her last 3 albums were the same pathetic s***.
Her tours are the same ass s***, same cheap version of Cirque du Soleil. YAWN! She doesn’t do anything new.
Nate Ruess saved her ass from flopping, ’cause nobody was here for her 10th version of So What.
Let’s not forget that she was still an opening act for Justin Timberlake in 2007. LOL. In USA, nobody was checking her a few years ago.
But hon, try this is platinum in the US and sold 3mil ww didn’t 4 do the same? And that was pink’s 3rd album , she wasn’t as big as Beyonce back then
NOT at the H**+ f*** getting massive loans from the banks to buy tickets for this tour, but T********* keeps serving them recycled performances.
If that isn’t the ultimate kiiiiiiiii of the year, I don’t know what is..
LOL GET HER GIRL 🙂 I LIKED SO MUCH GAGA’S FESTIVAL PERFORMANCE, IT SNATCHED SO MANY WIGS. SHE’S A REAL ARTIST AND BEYFAT USED HER IN ORDER TO GET THAT HIT.
DO YOU LIKE SHAKIRA? I THINK P!NK, SHAKIRA AND GAGA ARE THE BEST PERFORMERS IN MUSIC INDUSTRY TODAY.
I like Gaga but the iTunes festival is probably her weakest performance to date. Mainly cuz she was drunk
Same TIRED routines. the girls are over her.
Alicia>Beyonce
Beyoncé is a hell of a performer and vocalist. She has worked really hard to get to where she is today BUT…all she does with every show is rehash the same routine and wardrobe. I won’t pay rent money to go see something I’ve already seen from her. When you go on tour, you should be reinventing your entire image down to your music. Stay true to yourself but give your audience and fans something new and different from you.
Thus is so true .
Preach, honey
AT least she’s given her fans a SHOW. That’s what y’all are missing. I’m sure if you left a concert where the “performer” (allegedly) was just walking across the stage half drunk and doing the same tired pu*ssy pop then went to Beyonce’s, you’d be very happy because you’re finally at least getting entertained and not bored to death….
Seems like she’s one of those “Back In The Day Superstars” that only has an old catalog to perform…Too bad there’s no new recent hit material she can tease her HIVe.
(**Waits for someone to mention Janet in 1…2…3…..But you don’t see Janet performing, nor erasing an entire album & starting anew**)
Beyaki is getting her readment today and I detect no lies! Same tire recycled mess~!!!
Yawn.
Who?
Don’t get too cocky now lol. Tamar is just RElaunching her career and it can can really right or really wrong lol!
Sis I love me some shakira. And yes, GaGa ,Shakira and Pink are by far a few of the best performers we have today. But let’s not forget granny Madge, she still slays on the stage too..
And Miley
Hahahaaha…..NO…
She so annoying. Hate this wack b****.
Rih has fresh new tour clothes for her second leg. uNLIKE SOMEN, she does not need the same old same old crap, which makes one look fat. Still no beyonce single?
When did stay come out? Still on top 90 on itunes. WELL down, pure slayage. The mere fact of a possible rih single, had the blogs going nuts. When ‘ she ‘ finally drops. It is a rap, your motherfucking faves. LOL LOL HA HA AH IT WILL BE GLOBAL NUMBER 1.
NICE TO SEE RIH SLAY HER TOURS, AND………GARNER AIRPLAY AND CHART. That is what u call being teh biggest pop star in the world
“Rih has fresh new tour clothes for her second leg. uNLIKE SOMEN, she does not need the same old same old crap, which makes one look fat. Still no beyonce single?”
Are you going to a FASHION show or a MUSIC concert? Does Rihanna have fresh new vocals, good energy and stage presence for her second leg? Because in first one she didn’t have none of these.
Gilberto u a funny ass person lol .
Has anybody heard her new single? She dedicated to the beysquad its called dust paid 🙂
Sam,
This time last year, you said Rita Ora, was this amazing singer, with 3 nimber 1 and was gonna end rihanan career. WELL, NOW, in 2013, RITA is MIA! Oh no, actually she out in Dallas, Texas with Calvin harris. Funny! She said her new single will be coming out in September. Well, second week or sept and no new single. Her second LP? Meant to come out before christmas. Now pushed back to ” Spring 2014 ”
F****** LOSER. SO GLAD rih made that b**** eat her words. Now, have u noticed? She does not name drop rih anymore.
BEYONCE? HAD TO PUSH ALL HER SINGLES AND ALBUYM BACK COS RIH DONE MURKED CAREER.
Rih is in Asia. She has brand new clothes, she keeps things fresh and funky. She is also performing other songs on the LP, like numb. This is what keeps folks wanting more. New hair, new clothes, new makeup, new songs. THAT IS WHY HER TOUR IS NOW GOING TO ASIA,oceania; the arab world and middle east, as well ass the islands.
THEY SAY LATIN AMERICA IS NEXT. there iS ANOTHER USA LEG TOO.
AND AFRICA
“This is what keeps folks wanting more.”
Really? So why aren’t them buying her tickets? Why is Diarrheamonds Tour grossing less than Loud? Why didn’t any company want to endorse her tour? Why is she PAYING to go on tour? Questions, questions, questions.
“THEY SAY LATIN AMERICA IS NEXT.”
She’d better not come to Brazil. Nobody is here for her big forehead. Her last tour was massive flop here. She struggled to “sell” (including giving-away and Gruopon tickets) 50% of Brazilian arenas. She also got bad review after bad review from everyone.
LOL LOL poor you. If helsp u sleep bettter. Remember this: beyonce stilll has to drop that 5th album……….
Rihanna still has to drop out that 360 deal.
Well. SHE signed a new contract in June. So I am pretty sure her lawyers got her dope deal.
her new tour clothes are the s***. Might have to see her again on this second leg. Hopes she comes to LA. I love the boob top and that new ass jacket
“her new tour clothes are the s***. ”
Her vocals and stage presence though…
YET they sill go to the tour
I have seen her twice. So…..there goes your theory.
THE public demand for Rih to tour south american is getting intnse. THEY want her badly. But I think she wants to drop and LP. She should drop the LP, then tour SOUTH AMEERICAN early next year.
“THE public demand for Rih to tour south american is getting intnse. THEY want her badly.”
Let’s see the ticket sales report. Pollstar proved you wrong once, it’ll prove it twice.
If they tour South America, it will sell out. Her fanabse is waiting and demanding a leg. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO F****** LIKE IT.
ITALY STILL CRYING FOR A DATE. I say give em a Milan show.
Been lurking for a while, but now i finally have an account!
Went to DWT twice (London and Birmingham) Completely slayed. After seeing the LOUD Tour, and my love for the queen growing, i was completely ready to be destroyed. But nothing could prepare me for Birmingham, Standing 4/5 rows away from the stage, seeing her upclose (In the FLAWLESS Grey weave) i almost died. Her beauty upclose is undeniable!
THIS NAVY MEMBER IS HAPPY
THEY are crying for Italy, balkan, mexican and Brazil date. Rih, man, give these navy members what they need, then drop the LP during XMAS. ITALY have been begging all year, do not leave them out.
She won’t drop an album this year. She’s been selling in the 3 millions, she’ll get embarrassed by Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Lady Gaga.
GAGA , katy and miley have never been a threat in the past, they wont be now. GAGA is holding on for dear life.
IF i was working for rih’s camp I would add south america. THE DEMAND IS SOOOOO strong, she needs to strike while it is hot.
WOW @ every post being negative. It seems like the lessor stans have the most to say!!! Slay King Bey!
What we got going this year?
Monster hook. Not for drake, his LP is on itunes at number1. I say GAGA.
We got her cameo in ‘ Fashion killa ‘ by asap rocky. It will be his biggest video on youtube
We got style to rock in Nov or Oct
We got her glamour magazine cover
WE got a winter collection from river island still to come
We got her new mac collection; colors look amazing
We got…this rumored new single ‘ she ‘
We have a potential album for xmas
We got it popping over here. Y’all aint got s*** in your camps.
No one cares, everyone is used to the indusyry puppet releasing albums and doing hooks. That’s her claim to relevancy.Whats’s new?
All those “endorsements” and cant crack the top of the forbes list, is nothing to brag about mam
SHE IS IN FORBES LIST. U may not care, but it is what beyonce dreams of having now. BEYONCE DREAMS OF GETTING A HIT IN 2013.
Beyonce is the biggest name in music right now! Beyonce could care less about a hit, being that the hot 100 is filled with talentless generic singers…. That is NO longer a major accomplishment.! Maybe back in the 90’s and early 2000’s when music was much better!
BEYONCE IS NOT THE BIGGEST NAME IN MUSIC. BRIT is bigger than bEY-
LOL O WOOOOOW!!! I only see ONE maybe TWO bey stans in the entire post.All the rest are haters! Lol SMH! How is it that you people, who obviously don’t like her have the most to say?? Makes no sense, right? Beyonce’s post can make most juiciest off haters alone! #weird
Keep slaying those stages Queen Bey! Even your haters are impatiently awaiting new music!
Stadium watch:
South Africa
Barbados
Peurto Rico.
still 25
But will it outgross TMCS? highly doubt it.Beyonce is already outgrossing her and Rih started touring earlier!
PROVE IT! SHOW ME THE NUMBERS.
The power of Beyonce. See the shade is she is slayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyying your fave with OLD songs and y’all can’t take it.
She is on tour dummies why would she change it up. oh the irony of it all. Carry on CRACKBABIES.
For the haters, $1 dollar singles > $100 tour tickets. That’s why they’re f****** pressed about her next single. She makes more money from one single night concert than any of these basic singers’ singles in a year.
They know that, hence the reason there’re seething.
ALL POP GIRLS ARE RICH AND MAKING MONEY. EVEN s** tape KIm K is making money.
The not making Beyonce and Jay-z money….They making Baby money and you know that.
Sybil why you so mad? When I tell you Beyonce will always I mean always s*** on Rihanna. Cont your BREAKDOWN.. Your nothing but THE HELP.
Miley and Biber are only teens and they are woth over 100 mill. Beyonce never had that at their age.
Rih – 184 Mill
Miley 140 mill
Gaga – 190 mill
Katy 75 mill
THESE women are younger than beyonce. Bey came out 15 years ago and is 43. How can you compare her to 19 year old miley, who is worth more than beyonce at that age.
Beyonce is not shitting on rihanan when it comes to POP TOP 40 AIRPLAY.
So……logic failed.
Thats only because Rihject’s songs and albums are catered to top 40 radio!! Her lack of talent, works for her in the studio! Stop comparing your talentless fave to Beyonce..its stupid and your name is DELUSIONAL! LOL
Sybil I thought you sad you didn’t feel some type of way.

Rihanna net worth: Rihanna is a Barbados-born singer/songwriter who has a net worth of $90 million. Rihanna, who was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, earned her net worth as one of the most popular and commercially successful music artists in the world today. Rihanna used singing as a way to cope with the turmoil of a rocky family life. On the advice of her then record producer, Rihanna moved to the United States at age sixteen to pursue a career as a singer/songwriter. After her demo was heard by former rapper Sean Carter, aka Jay-Z, and then CEO of Def Jam Records, Rihanna was invited to audition for him and immediately signed.
Stop making you self look dumb like your fave on stage.

Yea you feel some type of way hence your many post on KING BEYONCE POST. If the w**** of babylon was bigger so U say, why waste your time on King Beyonce post. Use logic you HALF BREED.
BEyonce would give anything to be mixed like me.
But she is mixed dummie… Black, French, Irish, and Native American. What were you saying again. How is you’re mixed and still the HELP. Suck c*** like your fav.
How is it…….
I have white parent, she does not
Who wants to be white? You stated that she isn’t mixed like you. I mean how is it that one of your parent is white and you’re dumb. I thought you white people were smart. oh the irony.
Lol Beyonce’s recycled song and dance still shits on your fav’s performances from anytime. She could do the same two step the entire show and it would be more entertaining than your favs best performance.

All i see is haters! * n my off tune Rihject voice* 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Anyways HIVE get excited, it’s been reported that Beyonce has shot videos for four singles “XO” , “PRETTY HURT” ,”LIQUOR” and “HUGS AND KISSES”. The last two are reportedly due in November! She confirmed “XO” at Rock on Rio!!!
Is this why y’all mad.
HOLLYWOOD REPORTER’S TOP FIVE CELEBRITY EARNERS
1. Beyonce, $50m for her Pepsi ads
2. Robert Downey Jr., $50m for Iron Man 3
3. Cameron Diaz, $42m for Bad Teacher
4. George Clooney, $40m for his Nespresso ads
5. Robert Pattinson, $33m combined for his last Twilight film and his Dior campaign
Where is your FAV..and she’s the only Black listed. WERK BIShg
The 50 mil was not for beyonce. iT WAS Budget for marketing of her tours, music, videos and other ventures. So far….we have seen nothing. no way have they spent 50 million on that tour, which has no major stadium in Europe or USA. Videos? There have been none. ALbum? The same album that has been scrapped?
Other ventures? Like clothing line, makeup line or TV show?
Sure :
Beyonce’s $50 Million Pepsi Payday, Robert Pattinson’s $12 Million Dior Deal, and More Star SalariesCelebrity News

Tweet …
Jay Z’s superstar wife reportedly makes $50 million just from her Pepsi contract, THR reports. Add that to her album sales, tour money, and other endorsement deals, and you’ll see why she was named one of Time’s 100 most influential people in the world.
Where is Rihanna? You can have your Stadiums in Europe , wait what stadiums did R**** perform in the usa. Well it really doesn’t matter cause the MRS. Carter tour >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the w**** of babylon tour. Any Question?
Damn you’re DUMB.
PEPSI said teh money was for marketing. not personal pay day.
Where is your proof ? PROVE ME WRONG.
I am lookin at beyonce on the daily mail and she looks 60 years old in teh face. She has aged so badly, it hurts. I never would of expected this 10 years ago. She looks like Diana Ross.
The EXAGGERATION! Atleast she looks human! kiiii
Rih looks superhuman. You are right. I mean she is 25, smikes weed and yet she is not aging or gaining weight.
Wrong! She looks SUPER extraterrestrial! That jug head, hugene, huge lips! Make-up is her best friend!
Chile boo…I will say Rihanna has somewhat of an exotic look when made up, but once it all falls down she is back to splice.
Rihanna is worth 90 million NOT no f***** 184 million f***** liar,,
90 MILL, thenyou add the 53 mill she made last year. LOL LOL HA. NO, she is now worth 240 mill.
When you subscribe to be a member of Titanic, do you get a DefScam’s guide to inflate numbers? Could you explain how 90 + 53 = 240?
you go bey you are the best hate mongers are mad their so no talente favorite will never be like our bey queen bey is the best in the world no one touch her as Alice keys she is not a good singer and not a good persion either long live queen bey
NOW WITH THE 53 MILL SHE MADE LAST YEAR, RIH IS NOW WORTH 245 MILL AT AGE 25. MORE THAN BEYONCE AT THAT AGE. BOOM!
t’s been a rough year for the singer, but at least she has her millions of dollars to ease the pain. 25-year-old Rihanna has taken the No. 1 spot on People With Money’s top 10 highest-paid singers for 2013 with an estimated $82 million in combined earnings.
UPDATE 14/09/2013 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Rihanna tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2011 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (September 13) that Rihanna is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between August 2012 and August 2013, a nearly $50 million lead over her closest competition.
People With Money’s factors
In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The Barbadian singer has an estimated net worth of $245 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Rihanna Burger” chain) in Bridgetown, a Football Team (the “Saint Michael Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonder Rihanna – Barbados), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Rihanna) and a fashion line called “Rihanna Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Rihanna fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
ALL THAT HARD WORK AND NEVER TAKING BREAKS PAID OFF. SHE IS WORTH 245 MILLION.
She’s worthy of 245 million!? Are you talking about Monopoly money, right? Cuz she’s even worthy of 100kk.
Rih worth 100k? Stop being silly. Her new home cost 12 mill. I wish u would debate me as a grown up.
IF SHE IS WORTH 100K, then why is she living in 12 mill home? What did she buy the home with, air?
Dont let someones fame make u that angry in life. It is not a big deal. You are taking it way to personally. Come on, you she is rich, famous and hot. You may nor like her or her songs, but u she is not worth 100k. She makes over 50 mill for few years.
You may not think she is worthy of fame and money, but The will of god granted her this luck. Some people are born lucky. And she works hard too.
I wish you could read. Where did I say 100k?
I know u want Rihs career to end and she broke on park bench, but that is not gonna happen. So, u have to make a life for yourself and kepp it moving.
Stop wishing ill on others, it will come back on you. They brought her to the USA. Blame the people who signed her. getting so mad cos she is rich superstar. U were never gonna make it big, so why are u mad at ri?
“I know u want Rihs career to end”
I haven’t ever said this. Who’s going to babysit Blue?
The Barbadian singer has an estimated net worth of $245 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Rihanna Burger” chain) in Bridgetown, a Football Team (the “Saint Michael Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonder Rihanna – Barbados), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Rihanna) and a fashion line called “Rihanna Seduction”.
“lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics?”
What? NO WAY! LOL. That “deal” was about CoverGirl paying Umbrella video shooting ’cause DefScam didn’t want to spend $1 on her work.
It’s quite pathetic that rihtards don’t know nothing about their fave’s history.
“Saint Michael Angels”. “Pure Wonder Rihanna”. “With Love from Rihanna” What are those things? Never heard of them before. I want the receipts.
And yet she is the biggest pop star in the world, with or withour cover girl. LOL
Justin Bieber is worth 130 mill and I know rih is rich than his ass.
So now splice is worth 240mm? oh the irony of it all. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha .
how much are your worth though? that w**** a** in your avi with manly voice and wider hips than Chinese wall and legs like Rambo would be no one without her daddy. The biggest puppet in music industry.
To be correct I have a net worth of 25million hun. I’m a grown women and do what ever I want. (I CAN BAG MY S*** UP TOO BOO IF YOU LIKE)
Insecurity is an ugly thing, it makes you hate people you don’t even know.
So I guess it’s safe to say that R**** wouldn’t be no one with Jay-z .
R**** is the biggest puppet in music history.
Keep dreaming w****. You are probably broke, ugly, ghetto, m***** looking black f** who can only wish to have as much money as Rihanna.
Gay Z can only thank Rihanna for giving him the biggest hit in his career since Beywhoronce failed to do it with Crazy In Love which is still struggling for 2xPlatinum in USA after 10 years. Also, she is the one that brings his label most money.
Nope, Beywhore is the biggest puppet. Unlike Rihanna who started from the bottom, your tranmny looking fave had everything – money, her daddy to buy her Grammies etc. etc.
Why you giving me essay hun? Did I upset you. You typed all that and still aint say nothing.
“You are probably broke, ugly, ghetto, m***** looking black f** who can only wish to have as much money as Rihanna.” This sum rihanna to the T, she did come over on the banana boat Right.
Ya know, it’s really sad when there r more haters watching and talking about Beyonce than there her fans. They have the most to say when their own fans ain’t s*** and will never be s***. The audacity of a RihDiabolocialAlien Stan to come fore Beyonce, when all their fave is capable of doing is p**** patting, masturbating, and yodeling on stage…the b**** has ZERO vocal and dancing talent. And don’t even get me started with John Cena…I mean Ciara. When her body building, Janet Jackson wanna be looking ass hasn’t brought s*** to the table but several renditions of the damn back bend. Her ass isn’t s*** but a back up dancer with a mic. So don’t talk about Bey when ur own damn fave can’t hold a candle a candle to her.
But who am I kidding! You remedial ass tricks aren’t going to stop talking about Bey because she OWNS you. Therefore, I hope you type until ur fingers, arms, elbows, and ligaments fall off b******
So I know y’all didn’t forget about this: 240million my a$$.
Rihanna’s now ex-business manager Patricia Willliams has been recently fired as she recalls “for no good reason, all in ignorance” and is “livid” with Rihanna & her management company Rebel One’s decision to axe her.
The Barbados born singer has had four back-to-back albums, including a re-release since her debut of “Pon De Replay” in 2005..
“I don’t want to disrespect Marc’s name. He is a fantastic manager and genuinely believes in Rihanna. But he uses her money to fund her future projects because he believes he can break her in the world-market. Her album sales are not nearly as close to her single sales and he knows that if she is only known as a ‘singles artist’ she will only be as good as her last hit. Unfortunately, he didn’t inform his client and I’m receiving the brunt of it.
“Her record label Def Jam has put out 3 albums in a time span of 2 years. Alot of that was orchestrated through her management Rebel One. It was never Def Jam’s intention to release so many albums back-to-back but Marc Jordan found loop holes and ways to make it happen.A lot of the money Rihanna made through her endorsements between CoverGirl Cosmetics, Samsung.. Notice that majority of Rihanna’s videos have a cell phone in it?”
“After the release of Rihanna and Teairra Mari, Def Jam had intention to drop both acts because their album sales were not successful. Her manager fought to get [S.O.S (Rescue Me)] and quickly tried to negotiate with as many companies as possible. Nike picked up the song and funded a video. This brought the hype back for Rihanna in the company’s New York office. Majority of the official ‘S.O.S’ video was funded by Samsung because the record label was only willing to put up a small amount. Once ‘S.O.S’ picked up digitally and at radio, Def Jam agreed to fund the rest of her album. Jordan instantly got a video shot to ‘Unfaithful’ (he negotiated with video director Anthony Mandler to drop his price and would be given more videos from Rihanna in return). Then they shot ‘We Ride’ which was an extremely cheap video to create. ‘Break It Off’ was released as a third album, but again, Def Jam was unhappy with the sales of her album “A Girl Like Me” and refused to shoot a video. At this point Rihanna was opening up for the Pussycat Doll’s in Europe. She was making 30,000 a show but she didn’t see any of that money because it was needed to fund her next album.” Which is now known to the greater public as a ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’.”
The song “Umbrella” was found & Jordan fought again for Rihanna to have it. They shot the video, which CoverGirl funded half of, and the song became a success. When the record label had there meeting with Music Stores across the U.S to order her album for shipment, the number’s weren’t coming in the way that they expected. When the album’s first week numbers came in at less than 150,000, the label was shocked. Def Jam’s President LA Reid was livid! Umbrella was #1 for 11 weeks! Any other artist would have sold way more first week. T-Pain even did better in sales than her that week. Def Jam told Jordan they were no longer funding the album, so Jordan needed money again to pay for music videos ‘Shut Up & Drive’ and ‘Dont Stop The Music’. Almost 250,000 was spent to have those videos created. Plus, an additional 120,000 to shoot ‘Hate That I Love You’. Jordan was noticing that ‘Dont Stop The Music’ was picking up, so her persuaded the label to support it at radio in the U.S and the remaining singles, and they did.”
“Then came for the repackaging of her album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’, which is called ‘Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded’, that entire project was funded through Rihanna’s money. ‘Take A Bow’ was bought through her money, the video was created with her money and so is her most recent video and single ‘Disturbia’. The label didn’t even want to pay a dime for anything! Close to 750,000 was spent on those two songs alone. And now she expects to see money in her account?”
Williams states that Jordan, her publicist from well-respected public relations firm 42-West, Alicia Silverman has built alot of hype around Rihanna’s name but the singer has only made “a little bit above a million” and “all of it was spent on making her as big as she is now. It’s not my fault that she only has 20,000 to her name.“
LOL LOL this sounds like an angry ex employee chatting s***. This is from years ago, what about from 2008 onwards, when she came a superstar? LOL LOL LOL SHE IS RICH B****! END OF.
Great as usual. Especially love ‘Party’ (it’s a shame that song didn’t get more promo) and the whole stage set.
I would ask what the f*** is this, but it’s hard to forget after you seen it a billion times already! When will she ever have the balls to drop a new song?? Oh my fault far too many people dropping singles, and not snippets…YAWN
LOOOOOL @ the trolls on this post! Bey keeps emad and pressed!
Justin Timberlake is gonna perform there too. 🙂
Another killer performance from the Queen….
I would love to see if your fav could sell out a tour on an 2 year old album…
And the fact that Beyonce’s haters are anticipating new music more than her fans says a lot….
Hold yall horses…its coming. Endorsement deals, albums, fire videos, and another tour…. #YallWorried
Pure slaying from the Queen, only Queen can do this. She commands everyone’s attention even the pressed h*** on here. Ha, I know hater your mad because my fav is out here performing her old songs and still slaying the hell out of them. When will your fav?
I get why B has so many haters who stay pressed constantly……..she is HOT! This was a hot performance and that naughty girl, s** sounding remix slayed my life. I need that to be released! She is 100% fierce and on top of it all.
