i think that she did sound really really good...she has always been able to carry a note its just that her accent makes her sound diffrerent (aka billy goat bleating) I think that the more time she spends in the us the more she loses her accent and the more people like her sound...i think that we should stop comparing her to the beyonces of the world because beyonce is on a different level than all singers..rih rih is still young and needs more time to grow before we can compare her to the beyonces and mariah careys
