Your favourite Bajan model and mine, Rihanna, is once again on this side of the pond promoting her ‘Rated R’ project, tonight performing current single ‘Russian Roulette’ on BBC’s Jonathan Ross show.
Shocked as some of you may be, I actually really enjoyed this performance. While I still believe the inconsistency in her live vocals holds her back from being taken all that seriously, it’s hard to deny she did the damn thing in this live showing. Ms. Fenty’s vocals have indeed come a quite a long way; despite it taking 4 albums to learn to sing on-key, she eventually is getting there. Baby steps.

Why is her band over shadowing her ?
I watched this on Jonathan Ross and thought she was bloody awful. Honestly, i feel as though she was offending my ears when listening. Rihanna = noise pollution. Just horrible lol. I think Sam is being too kind and bowing to these Rihanna stans. She was crap, simple as man.
Sam I knew you would like it lol..I was just waiting lol. Go RiRi
Rihanna CAN sing…juss NoT very well…especially LIVE…on her CD’s alla dat extra stuff helps…I still believe she was discovered wen sum1 was passing by dA window while she was singing iN dA shower…EVERYONE sounds good when they sing there…
rihanna was singing on key from her first to her fourth album. She did the damn thing, and is holding her own. Go ri ri.
She started off okay but fell off from there and just plain bad at the end. I’d give her a C- overall as a singer. Sounds like the author of this article want us to believe that they can be unbiased when it comes to Rihanna and has forced a couple of compliments to make up for all the Rihanna bashing. Well, it’s not genuine if there’s little to no improvement or difference from previous performances that were completely bashed. Just be real for goodness sakes. This performance was not much different from the others. I’m tired of people complimenting below average singers when they manage to squeeze out a performance that is slightly better than their usual but no where near praise worthy.
The band drowns her out when her vocals should be prominent. Still not anything worth hearing, IMO. And she still looks wooden on stage. I couldn`t finish..
Can you stop trying to placate these stans? This is YOUR blog, grab your nuts and state explicitly what you feel. Its your right. And if these e-bullies don`t like it, they can go to some other PDF-loving blog, my friend. The fact that they keep coming back and posting HERE is only helping you out.
dizazter_relief,
Okk? then that mean she can’t sing then. it’s not called singing when one can’t sing on-key.
I think it’s ridiculous that she can’t sing on-kay and she’s not even moving.
@sam, this really doesn’t deserve praise. you should’ve picked a different
performance to be “positive” about.
I so wanted to believe from reading the descriptions that it would be good. And it was good, up until the chorus’ which were COMPLETELY off key….FAIL!! Try Again!

AT LEAST IF SHE IS GONNA SING TALK DO IT RIGHT. WTF IS ALL THIS WARBLING? HER ALBUM IS SUCKING IN THE US.
She is ALWAYS FLAT!
I promise I cringed everytime she held a note…
came on yo’ll we know our girl cant sing. and sam you wrote that chris album did not sell much only 100000 that was not right, he actually sold 200,000 please correct me if you can by my boy is still on # 11 on billboard however, my girl is sinking.
Go Chris Go
Graffiti in STORES NOW, go grab your copy.
Sam tell me you were joking with this lol.
You were trying to be ironic right?
come on…lol
say something nice challenge- her shoes looks nice….shes not showing her a** today
sam being positive is always a gud thing dont listen to them haterz, the perfomance was entertaining
LOL AT THE NOTE AT 1:27
“close your EUUURRRGGGHHHHYYYYYYEEESSSSSSS”
she just struggles sometimes…once again…lack of serious rehearsals….More rehearsals rihanna..really get your notes down….she sounds straight when she first starts..then it’s like her voice starts to strain toward the end. If she stays in the pocket before she hits the higher notes, she will have better control–crack less. Other than that…always fly
I can’t believe she’s covered up, wow!
YESSSS RIRI!!!i love this performance!!!!the first part was better than the second but it doesn’t matter!it was really good!!!
WOW SAMA IT TOOK HER FOUR ALBUMS
WELL HOW MANY ALBUMS WILL CIARA OR JLO TAKE THEN
HATER
what the fug does jlo or ciara got to do with this rihanna post?
these rihanna stans kill me with that ish..is comparing other artists with rihanna, suppose to make rihanna seem more talented?
well since yall brought up jlo and ciara in this post..jlo cant sing for s***, but bish knows how to dance, she got some stage presence..
now with ciara, she can sing alright, she aint the best singer..but again bish can dance and the bish knows how to throw down in her live perfomances.
now rihanna in the other hand CANT DO S*** but take a great pic..if she was a model that would be fine..but the bish suppose to be a singer. and this is her 3rd or 4th album(dont give a fug)..her live perfomances still sucks..we cant even call her an entertainer, cause she so dead in the face and in her movements with her live perfomances.
at least learn how to dance if u cant sing..learn how to do something, beside being half naked all the damn time.
@ Erica..I dont think she thinks she needs to rehearsal before a show.
I feel like as a consumer, the least she can do is learn her craft…I dont even think shes even trying in this album..she thought all she had to do was go do 20/20 interview, play the victim and her album would sell..when that didnt work..start doing h** s***..i think if she put all the energy she spend doing h** s*** in her live perfomances, her live perfomances would be at least decent..instead this billy goat, voice we keep hearing.
she STILL sounds like an electrocuted cat to me LOL
@DEEDEE, you are funny!! lol. I agree with you, she does need to learn her craft.
LMFBO @ she sounds like an electrocuted cat!!!!! WOW….This is sad how Sam can actually give in to these Rihanna Stans! Seriously, She sounded horrible the whole way through! She didn’t move a LICK and she still sounded like she was dancing as hard as Chris Brown (Oh! THE IRONY!!) No Doubt! She dresses well but singing/ dancing/ entertaining??? PLEASE! It is also funny to me how she is trying to make these “I-can-sing-faces throughout the performance so it seems as if she’s not as Stoic like she usually is. Sorry Rihanna that doesn’t make you sing any better nor does it look like authentic emotion! SAM and TRENT please grow some balls and continue to say what you feel on your OWN blog site about the lost child named Rihanna cuz she deserves everybit of it. Thanks!!!!
rihanna sounds great, if you guys think she needs to learn her craft, then she is not appealing to you. Leave her to the rest of us who enjoy her for who she is, and move on to supporting the ones you really love. Rihanna didn’t get here with your support, so her original fans still has her back, and always will. Good job ri ri.
I think whoever runs this site is doing a better job of hiding whatever vandetta they used to have against Rihanna. Kudos
@king it makes them feel better. Rihanna does not rehersal she practices a song and it’s a difference between rehersing and practicintg. One you go through the scales, work with notes and tunes something like that! Practicing, you listen to a particular thing and you copy and that’s what Rihanna does, that’s why she cant stop a song and pick up back up were she left it or adlib it to make it have more meaning cause she just cant…
