    Flop

    • KING RIH March 20, 2015

      Flop who outsells your fav kii

  2. Lol March 20, 2015

    Lol wtf is up with the British accent on the dancing in the dark?

    • LDN Chick March 20, 2015

      Is it a British accent though? Honestly, who is she trying to be now?

    • maurice March 20, 2015

      Flopnika does it all the time, so why cant the Princess?

    • Swertnothings78 March 20, 2015

      I was thinking that :-/

  3. Tasha March 20, 2015

    Yawn. As real just sounds like Stay part 2 and Dacing is underwhelming. Only song I like from her this era is towards the sun and thats no sgade.

    • Teacher( AOTY My Ass) March 20, 2015

      And no spell check either?

      • CT March 20, 2015

        You better read..

    • Cupid March 21, 2015

      So I’m guessing you’re saying this sounds like stay only because she’s singing over a piano?? So basic. The piano in ARAYAM is beautiful. I could listen to it alone. And the lyrics fit so perfect. This should’ve been to lead single off the sound track.

  4. Yonce on your mouth March 20, 2015

    As real as you & me is better than Dance in the dark, but it’s just too similar to STAY. It’s like a STAY remix.

  5. Yonce on your mouth March 20, 2015

    Don’t really like Dancing in the Dark. It’s start promising but gets really boring and Basic real quick. But I wish her the Best

    • bigos March 20, 2015

      not that these songs aren’t for movie, >kid< movie. If you excepted ratchet bop, well you were wrong. I think the songs are ok, perfectly for young audience, nothing spectatular though

      • Yonce on your mouth March 20, 2015

        Just because it’s for a Young Audiences does not be mean it should be boring and basic. “Let it Go” was for young Audiences but it was still very good, I never expected anything ratchet Stop with the excuses. The songs are basic and you will deal.

      • guess March 20, 2015

        I agree and disagree. Yes it’s for a kids movie, but kids don’t buy albums. She didn’t do one song, she’s makimg an entire album. Someone doesn’t do all of that extra work to only appeal to 4 year olds.

  6. Yonce on your mouth March 20, 2015

    I feel like Rihanna releasing her Home soundtrack & Album almost the same time is a bad move. People might get confused about the era, but who knows.

    • guess March 20, 2015

      Yeah she should have done one or the other. I also think her strategy of holding on to the music for over a year and then serial releasing them like she is now is a bad move.

  7. Brandys Starr March 20, 2015

    Before her fans start coming in here yelling. SLAYYYY and calling everybody haters who does not like it. I will just say her comeback is not shaping up to what I thought it would be. Its like Roc Nation are messing her around like Kylie. Or maybe they just give their artists too much freedom they can’t handle. Rihannas role usually slays when she was with Def Jam, even if its all downhill from there.

    • Brandys Starr March 20, 2015

      Role out

    • BeyRihLiyah March 20, 2015

      what was brandy’s downfall? oh wait she peaked in the 90’s and the general public stopped checking for her once the early 2000’s came and then she got pregnant and lied about getting married and then she was completely over when she killed someone 🙂

      • Cough Cough March 20, 2015

        But Brandys music and vocals will always remain more relevant and monumental to music. You will never see a legendary vocalist or performer tribute Rihanna…. Ever. Many have and will state that Brandy is one of their favs/greatest influences. Why? Cause she’s musically the ish.. RIRi is just popular mediocrity

      • BAM. March 20, 2015

        Don’t be so mean! Lol

    • Cupid March 21, 2015

      Umm FourFiveSeconds is still slaying. Why are you all judging so critical on soundtrack songs? These songs were recorded to fix certain scenes in a movie. Then placed on an album just incase people would like to buy them. It’s not that serious. The sales of Home won’t effect R8. It’s 3 or 4songs… Wow big deal.

  8. A&R March 20, 2015

    As Real As You and Me!!!!!!

    Man….love at first hear. This woman’s voice is a jewel. Her tone and emotion. It sets her apart from others!

  9. BeyIsKing March 20, 2015

    In the words of the great Madonna these songs are “reductive, look it up”.

    • Keri Qween March 20, 2015

      At least they’re not stolen kiiii

      • Barb-wire March 20, 2015

        But gurl, Keri wouldn’t even be able to enter a
        the charts with a stolen song let alone a non-stolen one. Now that’s a real kiii

      • Keri Qween March 20, 2015

        Keri has multiple successful singers, worry about your plastic fave whoring around with Meek our of desperation cause SB dumped her

      • Keri Qween March 20, 2015

        *singles

        Worry about the LocalPrint scanning 300k outside the US

      • BeyIsKing March 20, 2015

        Hun you stan for Keri Hilson…just keep quiet

  10. The Beysus Impact March 20, 2015

    LOL why is the film getting mixed reviews already??? FLOP!!! Lilo And Stitch make a better duo than them!!!

    • Keri Qween March 20, 2015

      About as mixed as the reviewfor epic or? Kiii

      • The Beysus Impact March 20, 2015

        No… Worse..

      • Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 20, 2015

        He means epic was worse than obsessed.

      • The Beysus Impact March 20, 2015

        BYEEE!!!

  11. kingbeybitch March 20, 2015

    As Real As You And Me sounds like Stay part 2, Dancing In The Dark well it will get the kids moving I guess. I feel like she needs to get the HOME thing out of the way or people will be confused. Isnt she also performing a new song at the Iheart awards, well good luck girl

    • Cupid March 21, 2015

      What’s to get confused? It’s not like she recorded the whole soundtrack on her own… Yall are making it confusing. Just stop.

  12. rihicon March 20, 2015

    a whole article with no hate or shade wow

    • Yonce on your mouth March 20, 2015

      The songs are Hate and shade on its own so why should they border?

      • rihicon March 20, 2015

        girl gone

  13. Keri Qween March 20, 2015

    Death the h/I/v getting here before the navy as usual

    I’m neither here nor there it’s for a kids soundtrack , the movie looks fun I might take my nephew!

    • Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 20, 2015

      They were perched on TGJ home page refreshing the page hoping a new rihanna post would come up. Their day isn’t complete without Rih to seethe over

  14. BeyRihLiyah March 20, 2015

    yes im here for both of these songs

  15. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

    True fashion icon. A real worldwide superstar. And white people love her.

    • TinaMinaj March 20, 2015

      White people love her? What kind of f***** up inferiority complex do you have? Lol

  16. yoooh March 20, 2015

    good good. i’m not really the target for the dance. and dat real a stay remix. tho… do i wanna picture scenes for those in the movie? with that characters. 😀 🙂

  17. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

    Ans she’s not a slüt like Beyonce. That whóre has been fücked by every Sony music bigwig. I’m glad Jay Z saved her, but than again, he gave her an ugly ass baby.

    • I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

      *And

      • TRUTH SERUM March 20, 2015

        Geesh, you have officially made me miss @LB’s shade against Bey. Give it a rest Cybil.

    • jemina nelson March 20, 2015

      TRUTH!. ONLY 2 EPIC SONGS BY BEYFAT ARE SINGLE LADIES AND HALO. AS FOR MOVIES, I’M STILL AWAITING HER SUCCESS.

  18. B2B March 20, 2015

    Lmao wow. Not feeling either song, but nice clean vocals on the latter ballad.

  19. ~The Arcade~ March 20, 2015

    In one of the songs, she has a British accent o_o?? the other one sounds like stay/ stay with me.

  20. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

    When is Colombia records releasing Beyonce’s record sales? What an un-iconic slüt. She’s such a flop ass whóre.

  21. #JACKIE March 20, 2015

    She sounds very nice on the slow song

  22. #JACKIE March 20, 2015

    I don’t like the b**** but I think this will be her best era vocally sing you coconut ass b****

    • Molly March 20, 2015

      Lmao she’s trying. Her vocals sound cute I guess .

  23. ~The Arcade~ March 20, 2015

    Should have just stuck with ‘Towards the sun’ that to me seems to capture the essence an animated movie :/

  24. african music lover March 20, 2015

    Dancing in the dark sounds like YOU ARE THE ONE PART 2 while as real as you and me sounds like DIAMONDS PART 2,but I like both songs but I hope that I am not going to get this kind of songs from R8. these songs are good for kinds,they remind me of Beyoncé Rise up

  25. african music lover March 20, 2015

    I like how a certain creature is all up here spewing hate on beyonce while her fans are paying him absolute dust.. #butthatsnoneofmybusiness

    • LDN Chick March 20, 2015

      Hahaha

  26. Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 20, 2015

    And they want to dare put rihanna in the same lane as Katy Perry, Miley, Ciara (no shade) and one octave?

    The ballad just proves that her voice keeps improving and she is gaining more confidence.

    Stay seething!

    • Whitney/Mariah/Celine March 20, 2015

      All the girls you just mentioned are decent, with the exception of Ciara, I just can’t understand what the hell she’s saying with all that damn whispering, it’s like she’s apart of the “secret Service”.

      • african music lover March 20, 2015

        DAMN!

      • Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 20, 2015

        Anyone’s voice is better than one octave to be honest, she’s below the Janet’s and Ciara’s.

        If rihanna keeps this up then she will be vocalist in her own right. nothing like a Whitney or Mariah but around Beyoncé or Carrie Underwood

      • Molly March 20, 2015

        This is coming from a Lip Syncriah and a Crackney stan Lmao.

      • Whitney/Mariah/Celine March 20, 2015

        @ This Molly person, sweetie, on Mariah and Whitney’s WORST day, Ciara still couldn’t come for them, and you know that.

      • Molly March 20, 2015

        How can you come for vocals when you stan for Mariah who can’t get on stage without lip syncing for her life?

      • Whitney/Mariah/Celine March 20, 2015

        @ Blue, I love Rihanna, but it doesn’t matter how much she improve’s vocally, She will never be on a Beyonce or Carrie Underwood level.

      • Yeah I Said It March 21, 2015

        SCREAMING at them thinking Rihanna will EVER be on the same level as Beyonce and Carrie Underwood. Wow, I didn’t think the Navy were THAT delusional.

    • Whitney/Mariah/Celine March 20, 2015

      Girl Lip syncing or not, Mariah’s WORST day>>>> Ciara. Don’t be delusional.

  27. World_Bops March 20, 2015

    I really like ‘Dancing’. Very cute! The other one sounds similar to Stay, as has been said. Very curious about this roll out strategy. It will win big and help her sell albums, or it will confuse people. I see 200k for the album, but I can’t imagine it as a huge seller in the long run.

    Either way, one flop won’t stop her train. Bey had a mini-flop on ‘4’ and it was what made her get more creative.

  28. rihboy March 20, 2015

    Yesss!! Ki at shading the soundtrack songs tho as if these are the songs you should be worried about!! Lls!!! So much better than I bet.

  29. RnB (RiriNickiBey) March 20, 2015

    Rih slaying like always…..Haters must just deal!!!!

  30. TRUTH SERUM March 20, 2015

    Rihanna is sounding good, her voice has really grown. I’m not so sure about the roll out and or the direction she’s going. I’ll stay tuned in…

  31. LDN Chick March 20, 2015

    Lmao WTF is that random accent shes trying in that song. Cringe

    • Molly March 20, 2015

      Lmao okay it sounds so unnatural.

  32. Molly March 20, 2015

    Dancing in the dark is complete trash, As real as you and me is cute but like someone said it sounds like stay. Rihanna come harder chile.

    • Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 20, 2015

      Doesn’t ‘I Bet’ sound like an Usher song? I guess Beyonce isn’t the only stealing.

      • Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 20, 2015

        One stealing*

      • Molly March 20, 2015

        IMO it doesn’t nice try sis… Good luck to Rih she’s gonna need it with those struggle vocals

  33. Molly March 20, 2015

    These Rihanna stans think she some type of supreme vocalist all of a sudden honey Rihannas average at best she also needs to stop trying to sing out her range.

    • Ciara the ghost whisperer March 20, 2015

      But sis you stan for f****** Ciara who has NO vocal talent…..and Iggy who couldn’t rap her way out of a paper bag. Your opinion is invalid.

      • Molly March 20, 2015

        Lmao bîtch bye Ciara will forever be more talented than Rihanna ok. Atleast Ciara doesn’t sing out her range like Strugglehanna.

      • BAM. March 20, 2015

        Read!!!!! Lol!

      • rihboy March 20, 2015

        Ciara can’t even sing in range Hun.

  34. metzo March 20, 2015

    Both songs are nice. Not bad.

  35. Soldier Of Love. March 20, 2015

    Yall be so mad all the time lol. I can’t imagine any of you having real lives.

  36. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) March 20, 2015

    ‘As you and me’ is EVERYTHING!!!! The vocal maturity >>>
    I’m so proud of her.

    • P**** Juice March 20, 2015

      Hey baby ! Im back! Didnt talk to you in like forever

  37. Thando March 20, 2015

    As real as you and me are absolutely amazing. Vulnerable grittiness about her voice and how it punches lightly the subtle yes resonating piano. Beautiful! She’s always had a sensible talent in her balladry.

  38. T Jay March 20, 2015

    You guys do realize this is music for a CHILDRENS movie soundtrack right?? What do you want? Find a life people.

    • P**** Juice March 20, 2015

      Her vocals tho!!!

      • LB March 20, 2015

        Yassss, the emotion and control, I am living…RIHANNA

  39. P**** Juice March 20, 2015

    As Real As God And me !! Wow her vocals are involving and improving so much with each era!! The song is beautiful! And DITD is cute, for a kids movie. Cant wait for American Oxygen to slay me even more.

    • RihAmerican (hives scared of R8) March 20, 2015

      YES!!! American Oxygen gives me life and puts fear in the haters.

  40. TheElusiveLamb March 20, 2015

    Real As You and Me is beautiful. It does sound heavily like Stay, but still a great track. Dancing in the Dark will be a good track bc it will fit right in the movie. Very cute Riri.

  41. TheElusiveLamb March 20, 2015

    Milton Milano if your punk ass don’t STFU. Your irrelevant fav could never sing a Whitney or Mariah song with her Secret Squirrel ass vocals. Your fav sings like she’s trying to transmit Morse code. Don’t EVER come for Whitney b****.

    • Molly March 20, 2015

      Forever dedicating comments to me, F**** you and Whitney bîtch!!!!

    • Molly March 20, 2015

      And don’t get me started on Mariahs fragile vocals.

      • TheElusiveLamb March 20, 2015

        B**** Mariah’s voice is stronger than the missing elasticity in your stretched and struggling booty hole! Whitney sings better 6 feet under than Cumberland! Your b**** sings like she’s playing hiding and seek with her dodging high note ass. Shut the F*** UP. Don’t ever come for vocals when you stan for aa flop Vanilla Ice clone who’s accent is faker than her cellulite ass shots and a baby Mama who “sings” like she’s underwater.

  42. tits mcgee March 20, 2015

    I like both. As real as you and me is really good.

    That’s all I got.

  43. Mark111 March 20, 2015

    I knew tje Bey-Holes would infect this post. #NoLives #RihannaGotThemBothered

    • LB March 20, 2015

      All you have to do is say one thing and Tyler, Slay_Hive and Cheryl Something will be seething up and down this post, even after you leave LMAO….Oh and Beysus will be thumbing down comments.

      They have tooooo much time on their hands. I can now see why they would go through all the trouble of changing Beck’s wikipedia page, it’s not like they have anything else to do keeping them busy.

  44. Cough Cough March 20, 2015

    Her over hype to UNvocals ratio has to be amongst the highest in all of music history. Give this b***** a mic and a chair and she is sooooooo confused!

  45. robyn March 20, 2015

    I really love both of these songs, good job rihanna. Towards the sun is my fave song out of the entire soundtrack

  46. BAM. March 20, 2015

    The growth in her vocals range is really coming along beautifully. My mouth literally dropped at the beginning of “As real as you and me.” She has such a lovely angelic unique tone. Love both tracks! This girl serves the hits!

  47. hives scared of R8 March 20, 2015

    So far im loving Towards the sun and As real as you and me.I hope she performs both.I dont like Dancing in the dark.Its a little too kiddie for me.All you people calling her soundtrack songs a flop will eat your words when #AmericanOxygen is released

    • P**** Juice March 20, 2015

      Tell them.

  48. Skyfall March 20, 2015

    The songs are amazing, of course the typical pressed whores would come in and talk s***.

    As Real As You and Me is beautiul, I want to here her sing it live becasuse i know she will slay.

    p.s. AmeRIHcan Oxygen will slay (It’s the new AmeRIHca)

  49. let’s be real March 20, 2015

    Ill save the “voice has really grown”comments for the LIVE PERFORMANCE because we all know studio works magic fa her

    • P**** Juice March 20, 2015

      Shut da faq up u püssy ass d*** , Madonna cant sing live to save her life, u crack ass funky bitçh.

  50. Cough Cough March 20, 2015

    lol at these “her voice has grown so much comments”. She sounds exactly how she sounded on Good Girl Gone bad… She sounds the same as she did on Loud. She has grown since “Music Of the sun” but stop acting like her vocal growth is so monumental. She sounds the same, girls!!!

  51. ontherun March 20, 2015

    dancing in the dark sounds like you da one. the other song was kinda boring

  52. Carmen March 20, 2015

    Whats so amazing about her vocals? Am I missing something? Im sure she’ll just be singing the carbon copy of the studio version when she performs it because thats all she can do. One sounds like a lesser version of Stay, the other is hot mess. Nothing exciting here.

    • P**** Juice March 20, 2015

      Who da f**** are u? A lana stan coming for Rihanna? Bîtch sit down dafaq down, i’d rather hear nails on a chalkboard than hearing lana’s cat moaning u call vocals.

    • P**** Juice March 20, 2015

      Since when is beyonce a bar for vocals? Sit your côck suckin mouth u fat delusional nìggas

      • P**** Juice March 20, 2015

        Oops wrong section

  53. Tyler March 20, 2015

    Beyonce or Carrie Underwood?

    Umm, Beyonce and Carrie Underwood deliver time and time again and are better vocal TECHNICIANS compared to Rihanna and her hit and misses. Rihanna and Katy Perry would be better comparisons on a vocal level because they both have decent voices but do not have Beyonce’s or Carrie’s level of finesse.

    • P**** Juice March 20, 2015

      Since when is beyonce a bar for vocals? Sit your côck suckin mouth u fat delusional nìggas

  54. RihYonce March 20, 2015

    Don’t care for these songs , dancing in the dark is decent, but I want AMERICAN OXYGEN!!!!!!!!

  55. Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 20, 2015

    Death… I make one comment about rihanna growing with her vocals, and perhaps she can be more as vocally versatile as her peers but of course Naomi… I mean Tyler has to seethe over my presence. The real kii is that you think Beyonce and Carrie are on the same level but one prerecords her vocals before performances while the other doesn’t. She dances and sings at the same time?

    Screaming

    • Yeah I Said It March 21, 2015

      But didn’t you put them in the same category first stupid

      • Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 21, 2015

        What I said was she could be like one of them dumbass if she keeps it up. Damn it’s like I have to read the s*** for you in order for you comphrend

  56. No favs, just here for the music March 20, 2015

    When I listen to ‘Dancing in the Dark’ it sounds like she’s talking through the song and not actually singing it.
    The other song is boring
    *sigh* but this is the movie soundtrack so it’s not a big deal if they aren’t good. I want to hear more more R8 tbh

  57. Naomi March 20, 2015

    This troll still has my name on its fat lip though… Lmao at Rihanna being more vocally versatile. When will she be able to experiement with opera? Sing Spanish? Do REAL rifts and runs?

    • Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 20, 2015

      When will dry once actually sing live?

      • Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 21, 2015

        I really hate auto correct.

        When will she actually sing live*

      • Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 21, 2015

        I could have sworn I heard the volume of the recording get louder lol

  58. hivehighness March 20, 2015

    Emotion and control… The jokes write themselves.

  59. FutureCIARA March 20, 2015

    ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz
