Rihanna performance of new single ‘Rude Boy’ on The Ellen Degeneres Show aired a few moments ago. Check it out above…
While, Ms. Fenty’s stage presence is improving (stiff whining and all), her live vocals are still not the business. I was a little baffled as to why she was holding the mic to her mouth instead of her nose, as her vocals were extra nasal today.
Still, as the age old saying goes, people will only believe in you, once you start belieivng in yourself; and, judging by this performance and some of her more recent showings, she’s starting to believe in her performance capabilities. Now, if only her talent would catch up with her self-belief, then we may be onto something.

she sounded a hot mess, no wonder why her album is flopping, she is a lessor gorl
It was a bit dry for the way they hyped it up. Oh well. I am starting to like this girl finally.
She sounded fine to me. Not GREAT, she didnt sound horrible though.
Dead at why she was holding her mic to her mouth yet she was singing with her nose….lmaoooooooo!!
sorry sam but you guys keep saying she has improved yet she is still on the same level..and how many times will she be on ellen??? she is gonna perform all her songs on ellen and still not move any units..lmaoooooo!!
I thought it was pretty decent! she actually did alot better than all of the other times i’ve seen her perform… I think she has a good singing voice….she’s just not the greatest at singing live….you get me? Either way..Riri’s hot!
Sam, the performance wasn’t that bad. You guys are a little too harsh…ease up on the girl.
She sound good way better then ciara ever would. GOOD DAY
ri ri sounded good, and her wining was good enough for tv. its daytime television, so she don’t need to throw back batty. Just a little is all she needs and she did just that. Looked hot in them shorts as well. Go ri ri.
oh my! what do you do when the camera tricks and studio technology can’t help you….that! rotff
Sam & Trent are always bashing her!!! I LOVE IT LOL!!! SHE’S SO TOTALLY WACK…LOVE THE SONG THO.
Sam shut up, i saw the performance and it was good
she sound good live and her dancing was cute for her
but i’m not deluisonal, she has been giving more energy
in the Rated R era
keep doing you thing Rih Rih
Im just happy to see her actually moving around doin something. I can dig it. She needs some back up dancers or something for this song. Vocals…they are what they are
Stop making excuses for rihanna boring performance
I’m not a Rihanna fan AT ALL, but even I have to admit that this performance was really good. She sounded like she usually does; no better no worse. I think it was a really good performance from her. I enjoyed watching it. People are gonna be haters, RiRi, just keep doing your thing.
AM A RIRI FAN BUT SHE SOUNDED A HOT MESS LMAO ,LIKE ALBUM ,B**** DISSAPEAR ALREADY ,QUEEN B SHOW THIS B**** AND HER RIHTARDS HOW ITS DONE
STOP HATING SAM!! I swear sometimes I wonder what she “did” to you that has made it your life’s work (as far as thatgrapejuice is concerned) to hate on this chick. Don’t get me wrong, I agree with your assessments of her vocals; but I feel that alot of her contemporaries are not the best singers either. Some are great performers (which I think she is, she’s just stage shy which was not the case with the Good Girl Gone Bad album/tour), others are great singers; but there are few that are both. If you’re looking for great singers visit Julliard (NYU, Oberlin, Berklee and other music schools) – that’s where true vocal talent exists.
This performance was just fine. Her vocals were good – and yea they were nasal, but that’s her style. Some singers are throaty, others oversing, but nasal’s her s*** and it has made her successful. I would like to see her do more dancehall moves (because she is a capable dancer), but I thought that she owned this performance.
Please do not mistake me for being a Rihanna-Stan, because I have better things to with my time; but I have to give credit where credit is due, and call out unnecessary “hate” when I see it.
Sorry but Queen B is old news now its RATED R ERA. GOOD DAY
For me watching Rihanna is like watching your little cousin that can’t really dance or sing try to perform…but is so cute you clap for them anyway!
Sometimes off-key and sometimes on-key vocals, typical Rihanna.
Looks like she had some fun on stage! That’s a good thing. I take back what I said about wanting her to dance. Even if she is from the islands, she’s super stiff and i don’t ever want to see that again.
Overall she looked cute (of course!) and looked like she had fun. If people like to watch her dance stiff and sing a lil’ off-key….so be it.
LOL @Sam doing the usual hating he does. Probably still bitter Rihanna wouldn’t do an interview with this sorry excuse for a blog. Anyway, Rihanna’s performance was good, i enjoyed it, keep hating Sam. You can’t stop posting about her. According to you, Beyawnce
has all the talent in the world, yet you rarely post about her, because she’s boring. Keep getting your fly on RiRi, your fans got your back and your album sales are the BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!
PS. That Rihanna Reign Just wont let up!!!!!!!!!! LMAO
i think thats why chris cheated on her, I mean my girl cant work it …….
Ri Ri’s smart for keeping ties with Ellen. Ellen is Oprah’s lady in waiting. Good performance, Ri.
I proud of her she showed sum Flava for once,prolly why this is the only performance I was able to watch to the end. Not a fantastic performance but I was entertained. Good Job RiRI keep it up
HOW DID SHE SOUND BAD????
SHE WAS NOT OFF KEY ONCE. SHUT THE F*** UP
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HATING ARE JUST SAYING THAT TO SAY IT. YOU A BUNCH OF IGNORANT COONS!!!!!!
C***= SOMEONE WHO DONT UNDERSTAND S***
s*** b****! – those legs!
i like this arrangement of the song, sounds really good – decent performance 😀
Very good performance and it is a breath of fresh air when I see someone not lyp-synching, she really is improving, nice
SAM leave her alone she did great she sounded fine and she didnt need any backup dancers. Nicky I hope u are calm today after u attacked me yesterday. I didnt know that by asking 1 question u would jump on my case and u still didnt answer me is the forbes list flawed? anyways enjoying my lunch break.
Sam sam sam…hating as usual..its getting old you are pathetoc…both you and trent..im starting to think you hate to get hits…sad..im sure rihanna slayed..ill pray for you guys
Just because she wasn’t lip synching doesn’t change the fact that her vocal ability is average at best and sometimes just plain horrible. I’m also starting to think that she can’t dance much during live performances. Also, the song is average. So…What’s great about it?
She sounds like the album to me … I’m not the biggest Rihanna fan but she did good to me!!! AND IMMA BEYONCE STAN FOR LIFE… No need to hate on the girl cause she aint B but she held her own!
ANNE cuz its one of da best songs out there now. its not boring or autotuned
I didn’t think it was that bad at all, she compliments her band very well live.
And to everyones surprise she sang the verse damn near like the song, recorded version!
@annie
blah blah blah blah blah… complaining makes my head hurt
First things first Rihanna is a beautiful woman with flava and style, she gave a good performance and she works well with her band. Lastly Rude boy is a very catchy song good single choice. Glad to see a young woman doing her thing.
GREAT CAMERA WORK – Ellen has some of the ‘most-experienced’ technicians working for her; they have to be; y’all didn’t see ANY-OF-THAT mushy/lumpy Cottage-Cheese on RiRi’s legs, now did y’all? …Me neither!
So we’re all ‘hyped-up’ ’bout this performance; she shows-up, in the ‘highest and tightest’-cut-just-right shorts SHE could find, to THEN ‘grind-up-on’ the microphone stand and, at one-point, grabs her crotch! Now I ask you, would YOU spend your ‘hard-earned-made-during-these-recessionary-times-dollars,’ on HER concert tickets? …Me neither!
Now we all just saw Ciara, dancing-onstage; going from ‘THAT, TO THIS’ is like going from Caviar-to-Spam! …And Ciara didn’t have to “sell-us-p****,” now did she? Ciara has some class-about-her!
This is what Rihanna gives you, ‘in-lieu-of talent’: THE PROMISE OF S**!
But who’ll want THAT, after seeing that H***** sore on her lips, and the cottage cheese on HER legs? …Me neither!
X Y Z u dont know nothing i am a big CICI fan but compared to Rihanna her voice is boring. the ciara performance was hot personally i think she is da baddest b**** in heels when it comes to performing but she cant sing live. Rihanna just sang and danced at the same time
^^ Some of us like cottage cheese!
JK! XD
Ugh, shut the f*** up about her voice. Nobody is asking you to report on her every performance. You come across so snobby, I mean nobody says anything about your amature blogging skills. KMT!
These days Rihanna performs much better than Mariah 🙂
X Y Z are u a man or a woman are you a child teenager or grown adult u need therapy
how long this girl being performing live? 4, 5 years now. and she still sound like this?
rihanna u need to step ur game up booboo..cause sweety u cant use ur look and body to sell records for forever..
I actually like the song rude boy and russian roulette, from Rated R..
to me its like, why doesnt she put all the energy she has in her videos, in her live shows?
did somebody actually said she sound better than mariah carey and ciara?
am soory even on mariah careys worst day, she still sound better than rihanna.
so lets not bring up other REAL singers and try to compare them to rihanna.
rihanna is not in the same league as mariah, hell not even ciara.
ciara is an entertainer, bish doesnt even need to know how to sing real good.
u stans claim we’re hating on rihanna, and yet yall bring other artist up and say shes better than them.
@youputthelimeinthecoconut — In a Salad, yes; on toast/crackers, yes – NOT on our “partners-in-passion!” …’NOT a good-look’, nor feel!
@Sasha — I had forgot ’bout those “strong-vocal-skills” Rihanna is-in-possession-of ; same ‘secret-ones,’ that WE just, NEVER-EVER, get to hear.
The ONLY-THING, Rihanna’s throat “is-good-for”, is to get the “man-juice,” from scrotum, pass-HER-lips, down to her belly! …Come-now; she did say that SHE did likes Big D**** – HER WORDS – not mine!
I enjoyed it!!!she is really improving!
Okay she sounded exactly like the album? Why should she change her voice now when it’s the distinct sound she has that has made her successful? It has improved though, listen to “If It’s Lovin That You Want” and compare it to her new stuff.. an obvious improvement. I personally don’t hate on any performer because I too perform and know that not everyone can get up there and do what they are doing. So unless YOU can go on ellen and perform the song better than she can.. please keep negativity to yourself.
and p.s. the cottage cheese comments about her body.. i can personally say having met her a couple of times.. i’ve seen the legs.. what you see in pictures is what you see in real life 😉
-ashton
some of you just don’t listen u just hear what u want to hear, the sng is hot but the performance was a hot mess she needs to stop singing live i swear its not working for her. For a girl from the carribean the whining is really baddd sorry but you can whine good and still make it daytime material. she just need sto stick to lip synching and posing. dont dance just hold ur mic let the song play bkground and just look hot as always. NEVER COMPARE QUEEN B TO RIHANNA, QUEEN B HAS TALENT AND BEAUTY TO BACK IT UP, WE ALL KNOW RIHANNA IS WHERE SHE IS BCOS F HER LOOKS. Now have to go clean my ears they hurt from all t he nasal sh*t i just heard
Are you kidding me?
No, seriously…. are you kidding me!? 0_o
This performance is an improvement on the usual walk, pose and hair flip shtick that she has always been doing with her up-tempo songs but it is STILL embarrassingly lackluster compared to other female artists who actually put effort into performances beyond just dancing stiffly when and if the mood strikes at some point on stage, and placing and replacing the mike on a mike stand (a mike stand? really??).
This is not about me being a “stan” of anybody. The only person I “stan” for is Michael Jackson and there aint no comparing to Michael Jackson. But the point MUST be made that for EVERY other female artist within 10 years of Rihanna’s age (and even some outside, like Janet) there is actual EFFORT put into learning some choreography and breaking a sweat on stage when performing a song like this.
The fact that people are impressed with this performance because it’s “good for her” is laughable. It’s easy to dismiss this as “hating” but really use a couple brain cells for once and think about it for a second… I’m not saying anything that isn’t true.
How is it that Rihanna can still get away with this??
Vote for Rihanna NOW: http://www.bet.com/OnTV/BETShows/106andpark/106_Vote_Poll.htm
I feel I should add though, that i actually liked her previous performances on Ellen where she had energy and ran through the crowd interacting with the audience. I thought that that was a sign that things were looking up for her in terms of her stage presence and performance ability.
I’m second guessing that opinion after seeing this…
every artist don’t have to be the same or do the same things. Some artist love breaking a sweat and getting down. That is not rihanna’s thing, so if she wants to place and replace her mike and strut around, I say do the damn thing girl. Rihanna is rihanna, and them other ones are them other ones. It hasn’t stopped her from selling records and churning out the hits, so obviously its not a top priority for her or her fans.
Sam throwing shade…. I love it! She was stiff as hell! She can barely sing i dont even know why she attempts to dance. Before you can dance, you have to learn to sing. You would think with Beyonce as her idol, she would of learned that. She needs to watch some live performances from bey, learn from a pro!
U TALK ABOUT VOCALS WHEN U SUPPOR SOMEONE WHO TALKS LIVE CIARA AND SOMEONES WHO BREATHES JANET
SORRY SAMA BUT U ARE BIASED AND THAT JUST PROVED IT
HER VOCALS WERENT GOOD
F*** ARE JANETS VOCALS CHRIS BROWN VOCALS CIARA VOCALS AND ALL THESE OTHER WEAK NO RANGE MOFOS THEN
SAMA U R GAY AND U JUST EMBARRASED YOURSELF HATING ON A GIRL AND U JUST PROVE MOR AND RPOVE PEOPEL AHT U
UKMIX HATE U
TOYASZ WORL HATE U
PROPHET HATE U
R**** HATE U
TOPOFTHEFLOPS HATE U
RIHANNADAILY HATE U
MARIAHDAILY HATE U
U GET HATED ON EVERY WHEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
F*** U
It hasn’t stopped her from selling because her fans are mainly children and teenagers who don’t know any better than to go for whatever is “cool”. Look at the “Twilight” series…
It’s easy to part teenagers from their money.
This upcoming tour of hers will be the most-important she’ll EVER attempt; it’ll be HER, ‘break-or-make time’! If her ticket-sales, are anything like her CD sales; in about 2-years from now, I predict, we’ll find her, using those BIG-HANDS-OF-HERS, cutting Sugar Cane, under that hot-Bajan-Sun!
I’m NOT trying to be cruel, but after all of the Hype, Hysteria, ‘Saint-Hood’, TV/Radio appearances/performances and Def Jam’s Million$, used to promote her; and she, not-only, can’t sell CDs, but can’t bring-out-a-crowd to see her – would you, being Def Jam, THEN, risk ANY-funds on her? …Me neither!
I mean, what can we say, ‘has-she’ – that IS hers? …Certainly NOT her style, which was “jacked” and is NOW ‘kept-up’ by the use of a stylist (make-up/hair); Certainly NOT her dancing – I’m beginning to wonder if she’s REALLY from the Caribbean; …Her singing? …Surely, you jest! …She’s a brilliant song-writer, you say? Er…WRONG(buzzer-sound), b**** didn’t even graduate High School, nor felt-the-need to get HER GED!
So, again, I’ll ask, why go to her concert? …What can SHE possibly give YOU, besides H*****? If you go to see her live, you’re guaranteed disappointment; if you f*** her, you’d better “strap-up” or a S** – the one that-keeps-on-giving – becoming a statistic is-what-you’ll-risk!
I’m telling y’all, this upcoming tour of-hers, is one I’ll pay very-close attention to! Rihanna will use any-and-every chance, to get on any Radio/TV/Cable/Public-Access Show/Forum and try to convince us, to ‘come-see-her’ -in concert! …But why? What could she possibly give you, that Ciara can’t give you? …’And Ciara’ : not ONLY with class, but FAR-MORE skill!
There was a time, she could depend on CBreezy to pull-in, and thrill-the-crowds with HIS MASTER-SHOWMANSHIP! But those days are NOW long-gone! So to NOW,get our interest, she’ll talk-voodo/s** and her love of ‘giant-erectile-tissue!’ …And such a fine role-model she makes, ‘eh?
Rihanna: What a waste of a ‘once-in-a-lifetime opportunity’! She better hope Matt K doesn’t loose interest; but by the looks of her dancing, and given the intelligence of her conversation (lackthereof) – during her interviews – I see Matt K making an “expeditious-upgrade” to the next “IT-GIRL!”
I believe she should be further along performance wise, but I’m glad that she’s moving more and singing stronger at the same time.
rihanna i love u, ill be ur rudeboy anyday….u did great! dam i wanna f*** diz chick
Wow! Sam you really go hard on Rihanna. Its one thing to give a review, but its another thing to just be bashing. She is making more money than everyone who has posted thus far…so really I can’t knock her hustle!
I’m not a Rihanna fan, but y’all go in on her every chance you get.
On a side note K$sha is a flop. Her cd is garbage. why is she getting interviewed?
HORRIBLE!! ALL THE MONEY THEY WASTE ON COUNTLESS PROMOTION FOR RHIANNA IS UNBELIVEABLE.. SPEND IT ON REAL TALENT… LET SOMEONE SHINE WHOM DESERVES IT. TONI, BRANDY,KELLY, PLEASE COME TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE
LOVE IT
Mm I always say stage presence is something you either have or you don’t. Say what you want about Ciara’s voice(which is better than Rihanna’s) but when that chick gets on stage, she draws in the crowd and holds their attention for the entire time she performs and gets them hype. that’s what makes a good performer.
As much I like “rude boy” and the band arragement, she STILL couldn’t hold my attention for more than a minute. I’m starting to like Rihanna tho(her stans are a joke). she gets an A for effort.
HOT MESS AND RIHANNA STANS WAS THINKING AFTER THIS THE SONG WOULD FLY UP ON ITUNES LMAO NOT! RIHYODEL IS THE BORING ONE BEYONCE CAN SING AND PERFORM LIKE NO OTHER PLZ YOU DON’T HEAR CELEBS TALKING GOING TO A RIHYODEL SHOW YOU HEAR THAT ABOUT BEYONCE AND HOW AMAZING SHE IS!
Rihanna should really become a model. Im not hating or anything. I just think she has a much more chance of staying in the game longer if she sticks to what she’s really good at.
She would be a great model. Im just sayin.
Come here rude boy boy, can you get it up? I will slap my daughter in the mouth if I heard her singing that(If I had a daughter) lol.
Where is your class Rihanna?
she really needs to stop singing and come upgrade my closet lol. She is really pretty to look at but sorry rihanna, don’t really wanna hear you sing ESPECIALLY LIVE. Singing is not her god given talent, she has the talent to be a model.
at least she looked really cute performing, i give her a plus for that at least
CHICKKS ARE LYING OUT THERE ASS WHEN THEY SAY CIARA HAS A BETTER VOICE THAN RIHANNA ARE U FCKN KIDDING ME CIARA CANT EVEN BUST A NOTE WHILE SHES DANCING AND WHEN SHE DOES THE CHICK IS WHISPERING AND BREATHING A LA JANET SHE IS THE JANET REINVENTED NOW RIHANNA HAS HER OWN THING GOING ON AND PPL SAY SHE JACKED FEFE STYLE WHATVR SHE MADE THAT S*** HOT OWNED THAT S*** AND HAVE A CULT OF FOLLWERS WHO NOW LIVES BY THIS BAD GIRL IMAGE A LA CHRISETE MICHELLE (EVRYTIME I SEE RIHANNA DO SUMTHN THIS CHIK RUNS AND DO THE SAME THING ITS SOOO ANNOYING RIHANNA ROCKS THE CUTE CADETS HATS NOW CHRISETTE ROCKS THEM LIKE ARE U SERIOUS MA) ANYWAYS THEY WERE LABELING RIHANNA AS BEYONCE NUMBER TWO SHE SAID FCK THAT IMMA DO ME AND SHES A SUCCESS NICE PERFORMANCE I AIT EVEN MAD.
I THINK RIHANNA DID GREAT.. F*CK SAM
@coldcaselove that reign you talking about is slipping fast that’s why L.A. and company are pulling all favors owed. She was not bad, but considering the simple words in the song and the dancing came out when? 200! She’s not improving where it matters. C-/D+
What ever happened to the day when artist truly entertained and people didnt have to make excuses for them or accept their lack of talent.
Is it just me or is Rhianna dancing more and more like Beyonce? Certain steps and all that he been doing these days just seem rather ‘familiar’… like Beyonce familiar… Mmmmm
Did anybody else hear that Letoya Luckett has just been reported as being pregnant by Keston Karter the lead guy in her video Good to Me. Essence.com said they have been secretly dating for the past 3 months now and will also bring out a steamy semi-n*** calendar photoshoot before she starts to show.
@Tell Me
Are you fa real? I ain’t know she was pregnant, that’s probably why I haven’t seen her that much? I’mma have to go check out Essence.
@ME
SUCK A FAT ONE!
Uggh! Rihanna sounds a H.A.M. Anyway what’s up with this story about Letoya bein pregnant by the fineness that is Keston Karter. I can’t believe she pregnant by my man. I ain’t even know they were dating for that long. That’s probably why he kept kissin’ her in the video Good to Me. Mmm, mmm, MMm.
@WHYSTILLINTHEBUSINESS
what favors?
What ever happened to the day when artist truly entertained and people didnt have to make excuses for them or accept their lack of talent

@witty
oh yeah, because beyonce dance steps are very original and very hard to make, rofl, like they said on that “Glee” episode, artists tend to shake their hair to give the illusion that they can dance and everything Beyonce does is ass and hair shaking, that’s from Jamaican and Caribbean culture and guess what, Rihanna is caribbean, I think you should think before you say something, but that’s not a thing that Beyonce fans do eh
HORRID!!!
i have no type of hate towards this girl but….
she sounds horrible live IMO lol it wasnt good @ all omg rihanna no….just stop. I like you, but…..just stop lol
@ 12345…At least when Beyonce shakes her ass it’s entertaining…Seeing Rihanna TRYING to do it is a down right pitiful experience! You can’t say Beyonce has a non entertaining performance but EVERY performance you beloved Rihflop has is HORRID!!!
LOL @ a Rihanna fan calling another artist BORING…LOL….THE ONLY THING ENTERTAINING ABOUT RIHANNA ARE THE CLOTHES SHE WEARS AND ALL THE MEN THE H** HAS S** WITH!!!!!!!
I thought she did a very good job. She had stage presence and she actually did the song justice. All she needs to do now is get her a choreographer and maybe 2 back-up dancers. I’m not a huge Rihanna fan but i don’t mind giving credit where credit is due.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY SONG SHE CAN SING , THE MIDDLE PART WAS TERRIBLE MADE IT SOUND LIKE HER FIRST AND 2ND VERSES WERE PRE RECORDED BECAUSE THEY WERE ACTUALLY GOOD.,
NOW THE WHINING,..I MEAN ITS AMAZING THAT SHES FROM BARBADOS N HAS NO RIDDIM , BUT ALSO WHEN SHE 1ST COME OUT SHE WAS THE ISLAND GIRL(PON DE REPLAY ,IF ITS LOVING THAT YOU WANT) AND COULD DO HER LIL BUM FLICK AND WHINE WHERE HAS ALL THAT GONE….
I LOOOOVVVVEEE LIVE BANDS! THEY MAKE SONGS SOUND SO MUCH BETTER!
ANYWAYS..
RIHANNA SOUNDED TERRIBLE AS USUAL, NOT A SURPRISE ANYMORE! I’M GLAD SHE ACTUALLY MOVED A LITTLE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STIFF AS HELL! DAMN, YOU WOULD THINK THIS GIRL CAN WHINE BETTER THAN ANYONE THAT IS OUT CURRENTLY BECAUSE OF HER ROOTS BUT I GUESS NOT! SHE LOOKED CUTE, I’M NOT FEELING THAT HAIR WITH THE HAT THOUGH. SHE LOOKED LIKE SHE HAD FUN TOO. IF SHE HASN’T IMPROVED ON ANYTHING ELSE SHE’S DEFINITELY IMPROVED ON HER STAGE PRESENCE. THAT’S A BABY STEP.
OKAY, I’M SORRY BUT SHE SHOULD LEARN HOW TO DANCE AT LEAST! I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE UP FOR THE TERRIBLE SINGING!
AND I SEE SHE’S STILL DOING HARD CORE PROMO FOR AN ALBUM THAT CAME OUT ALMOST 3 MONTHS AGO. *KANYE SHRUG*
@dawon
so classy calling someone you dont know a h**, very classy, with people like you racism will never end, since black people are racist and mean towards black people and sure beyonce shaking ass is entertaining, you really are pitiful, go figure
Atleast Rihanna is trying to improve, not like Britney Spears and Jlo that lipsynch all the time, atleast Rihanna gets millions for her effort, not because she is making playback and if someone says that she isnt improving you are obviously a delusional hater

LOL, You gotta love Sam for his Rihanna shade, its always on point lol
———-
Now I know She never been the best performer but OMG, Her dancing is just… WTF is that?? She looks like someone’s Drunk Grandmother at the Family Reunion, Who told her her moves were hot?, She was an acceptable dancer in the SOS Days but now she just looks Corny & silly.
& for Her Singing… NO COMMENT
*At least she gave me good Laugh* But if that wasnt her Intent then EPIC FAIL
Beyonce?Ga Ga?Ciara? who
That b**** Slayed every F****** Artists out there..Get Ri Ri Whine them Hips. Sang that s*** RiRi
Show them B****** who is the Real Queen..The Best Performance i seen This Year by any Artists
Them B****** just Mad Cause Rihanna is selling more than that Fake B**** Beywance

Dang whats wrong did your rude boy Trent not get it up??
You always bash Rihanna’s vocals…She is not, and will never be Beyonce (vocally). Regardless, this performance was awesome. Her vocals were on point and the band was incredible. She is the performer she is and people like her for the vocal ability she already has. If u want a powerhouse like Beyonce or Jennifer Hudson….watch their performances! You should strongly re-evaluate your judgment…this coming from someone who isn’t the biggest Rihanna fan…I just get it now…think about it…
I feel bad for Rihanna. That girl is lost. No one in the industry respects her. To them she is just a dummy. I feel really bad for her man, she is not what everyone thinks she is.
@ Fuck_Beywance
LMFAO!!, Really, I think we have a winner for most delusional person on Earth lol
Really?? You Cant Be Serious, Are you peeing on my leg & telling me its Water??
Do you know what you just possessed your Fingers to Type???? RiYAWNna’s Rated RIDICULOUS Sold 7 Million??? & Beyonces IASF only sold 2 mill World Wide lol Bey sold more than that in the States, Her album is Close to 3X Plat in the U.S & Has sold over 6 Million Worldwide (google it)
& I know you were joking about that 7 mill thing Right?, FlopYawnna didnt even sell what you claimed Bey Sold Worldwide, Rih couldnt even sell 7 Mill with a re-release so B**** Bye…
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No one respects her because she isn’t very talented. I feel like she’s had some measure of success, and she seems nice so that’s a good thing. It just seems like Rihanna is a doll and people do whatever they want with her. They dress her up, sometimes teach her choreography (rarely), and change up her image when it gets old or isn’t working.
He lack of singing and dancing ability is more sad than anything else, I agree with the comment above.
I agree with the Truthwillprevail comment
NOBODY RESPECTS HER?!?!
LOL THATS FUNNY..BECAUSE FROM ARTIST LIKE BEE, MARY J, BRITNEY SPEARS AND A LOT MORE TO A LOT OF OTHERS WHOM HAVE COMMENTED ON RIHANNA IN RESPECTS….DONT KNOW WERE U GOT THAT FROM!!???

@ Dion-Ish
Read this in its entirety before you reply.
Just to make something clear, I’m not a ‘ghetto individual’. I post on this blog because it’s interesting to read people’s opinions about artists. Not only am I educated, but raised far from the ghetto. Not that I don’t have love for all of my ‘ghetto individuals’!
Perez Hilton is not someone who has a very respectable opinion, he says quite a few offensive, trashy things on his blog.
The reason I agree that no-one (or not many) people respect her is because of the way she is treated as an artist.
She came out with an interview after being silent about her attack right before her album came out, and I think people found that a little opportunistic. I didn’t hear many people speak out in support of that.
She has a distinct voice, but cannot carry a tune very well. I’ve never head any artists praise her singing ability.
I’ve never heard any artists or insustry people praise her dancing ability, or stage performances.
They might say, “I listen to rihanna” or “I like rihanna’s music” But let’s keep in mind that she does not play any instruments, nor does she write much of her own music or produce it.
So what they are really saying is that they like they way she is put together as a package, and they might like her as a person. THAT IS NOT RESPECT AS AN ARTIST FROM THE INDUSTRY.
People can like her, but why try to make her something she isn’t? She’s cute, nice and seems to have fun performing. That’s it.
Like I said before: SHE REMINDS ME OF MY LITTLE COUSIN, UP THERE HAVING FUN SINGING AND DANCING BUT SHE CAN’T DANCE WELL OR CARRY A TUNE. I CLAP ANYWAY, BECAUSE SHE’S SO CUTE. END OF STORY. What’s so bad about that?
Aunt Jackie I respect your opinion but didn’t she win a grammy for cowriting run this town and on rated r her name is mentioned as a songwriter on every song
@ SAM

PRETENDING to be thrOwing shade @ MZ rih,going all hard on her & what’s not but we see u sam for what u really r…YUP A RIHANNA FAN IN DISGUISE. I HOPE U R SEEING A THERAPIST FOR UR PROBLEM BECUZ u know that AIN’T NO TIME SOON…..
THAT RIHANNA REIGN AIN’T GONNA LET UP!!!
@Fuck_Beywance you Just show & prove to all the people & this post: That Rihanna Stan’s is more Delusional,stupid and illiterate more than Beyonce Stan’s
@AUNT JACKIE i totally agree with everything you wrote
**Now watch everytime she perform she is going to do the Same Whining **
@DION-ISH
I always read from some commentors on blogs that the white community respects or loves her more than the black community…Wrong!! I read all those other blogs also and even though Perez may like her, his commentors have many negative things to say about her .
The Urban blog community is much more interested in Rihanna than mainstream media is, there is a post about her every day on urban blogs, not on more mainstream blogs that don’t cater to black celebrities.
So when i read statements like yours I wonder if you actually read what people write about her, they actually say some really, really hateful things, way worse than I have ever read on any urban blog. We actually care about her much more than they do!
@VEGASGIRL which blogs I am 1 week old at the blogging thing
but y r people so harsh
Ok, I know some of you guys really like Rihanna, but resorting to making up random s*** she did is uncalled for. If there is actual authentic, valid reason to like and respect her as an “artist” you shouldn’t need to lie and exaggerate about her to make her seem more talented.
She had nothing to do with the writing of “Run This Town”, she won that Grammy the same way she has won all of them… being associated with other people who actually have talent.
“on rated r her name is mentioned as a songwriter on every song” – that is another lie
She “co-wrote” 9 of the 13. Her name is always listed last or second last in the song writing credits behind 2-5 actual songwriters. For those of you who don’t know what that means, it means she had very minimal input. She rested on the backs of the multiple songwriters she has at her disposal.
It should only ever take 2 songwriters maximum for a song. When your name starts coming in 3rd, 4th and 5th then you pretty much just came up with the title and little else.
@Vegasgirl….you are so right about your comment…many urban bloggers promote Rihanna like crazy and JustJared (white blogger) rep her really hard too and like yourself I read these comments from the white blogs and they have nothing on Sam or Trent when it comes to Rihanna…I’m not a fan of Rihanna but one thing I don’t do is go thru blogsphere writing nasty or hateful things about her because A. its immature and B. its not needed my comments mean nothing to Rihanna and will never stop her way of living so its not that deep for me but once again the shade is always thrown on the black community when this should be looked at on a individual bases because the mainstream media (white commenters) slam her hard and sometimes harder than than the black community….
@ Sasha
That’s interesting, and she did win the Grammy for Co-writing! I just looked it up.
I can say, that I don’t think the writing on her part of the song was too sophisticated (sorry).
But I haven’t heard Rated R because I only catch some on the songs on-line or on television, so I can’t judge that writing.
I do know that a lot of times artists get some song writing credit, even if they aren’t the main writers. Either way, she does write some and that’s better than nothing at all!
Even though she’s not my favorite I’m still rooting for her, if she steps it up….its better for music in general! But I’m not holding my breath…..
Wow, I just looked it up too. I’m able to admit when I’m wrong :p
I’m actually impressed she did have a hand in writing Run This Town.
LOL, ELLEN SENT THIS TWEET EARLIER…
“RIHANNA PERFORMED RUDE BOY ON THE SHOW. I DONT KNOW WHAT IT’S ABOUT.”
HAHA, PRETTY MUCH SAYS IT ALL ABOUT RHI RHI’S SO-CALLED MUSIC.
@VEGASGIRL yes blogger’s are mean, but not just to Rihanna…….i think there are alot meaner to beyonce. like perez hilton, sandrarose,prophet,b*****….they say really mean things about beyonce but most of the time loves rihanna(sandra)
@FUCK_BEYONCE
HUMMMMMMMMMMM BEYONCE ALBUM HAS SOLD WAY OVER 6.3 MILLION AND STILL SELLING LIKE HOT CAKES WITHOUT ANY NEW SINGLES THIS ALBUM WILL SALE 7.5 TO 8 MILLION MARK MY WORDS OR EVEN MORE . BEYONCE ALBUM IS SELLING JUST HER AWARDS AND HER NAME ALONE AND OVER 20 MILLION SINGLES OFF ONE ALBUM
@ AUNT JACKIE AND SOOO MANY OTHERS
YES MANY PPL DID COME OUT AND SAY HOW MUCH THEY RESPECTED RIHANNA AND FELT SHE WAS STRONG AFTER THAT INTERVIEW INCLUDING HALLE BERRY AND OPRAH!
THE FACT THAT RIHANNA CHOOSE TO DO THE INTERVIEW BEFORE HER ALBUM WASNT SOMETHING THAT SEEMED LIKE AN OPPURTINTY..SHE HAD TO DO A INTERVIEW SOONER OR LATER BEING THAT SHE WOULD DO COUNTLESS INTERVIEWS IN PROMO OF THE ALBUM…SO SHE RESPECTFULLY AND TRUTHFULLY GOT IT OUT THE WAY WITH ONE! AND DIDNT REALLY DO ANTHOR DETAILEd INTERVIEW AFTER THAT..SHE DIDNT GO ON MULTIPLE TELL ALL INTERVIEWS LIKE A CERTAIN SOMEONE…
AND “NO” OUTSIDE URBAN BLOGS NOONE THROWS AS MUCH HATE TOWARdS RIH THAN “SOME OF” THE BLACK/URBAN BLOGS..I READ PEREZ AND SOO MANY MORE AND THEY TOTALLY LOVE THAT CHICK.
OKAY LIKE CAN SHE DO SUMTHING NEW FOR A CHANGE I MEAN THIS IS HER EVERYDAY ROUTINE ITS LIKE HER TEAM JUST TELLS HER TO GET ON STAGE AND ACT LIKE ITS A CAT-WALK/RUNWAY *SMH*
I JUST LOVE HOW ELLEN LOVES RIH SOO MUCH! LOL….
Sam your mama needs to put you back in her pu***. you are one hating negro and I ain’t even a fan of the chic. i dare yo punk ass to stop writing about her and watch what happens to your site. it was funny when i first started coming to this site, but its clear that you HATE this girl, maybe if you do go back in your mama’s pu*** you might be born with a heart that’s not full of hatred. Trent sam is making your site a mistral show
rihanna did good….i seen better performances from her….but she is good at what she does
and how can these two d*** sucking f****** TRENT and SAM talk about vocals when they support that whack…sorrie excuse for a singer named CIARA, now that b**** cant sing to save her damn life
UM NICKI SO YOUR SAYING IF SAM STOP POSTING ABOUT RIHANNA THIS SITE WOULD BE WHACK YEA-RIGHT YALL RIHANNA FANS/STANS NEED TO STOP ACTING LIKE THE BEYONCE FANS EVERYTIME SOMEONE SAYS SUMTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT R**** I MEAN RIHANNA YALL TRY AND ACT ALL CRAZY LIKE BEYONCE FANS DOES AND RIHANNA DID GOOD CIARA NORE RIHANNA CAN SING MIND YOU IM A CIARA FAN ALL DAY BUT EVEN I KNOW CIARA ISNT THE BEST SINGER BUT IF YOUR TRYING TO SAY RIHANNA CAN SING BETTER THAN CIARA YEA-OK I LOOK AT IT LIKE THIS CIARA MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SING BUT HER MONEY SAYS OTHERWISE ITS FUNNY HOW SHE IS MAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON SOMETHING SHE CANT DO LMAO!!!!!!!!
Who cares about those two lame ducks. Rihanna looks like Sinbad and Beyonce looks just like her husband Jay-z. But I need to know more about this story concerning Letoya Luckett bein preggers and engaged to the hottie Keston Karter the lead guy in her music video “Good to Me”. Reports from other sites have said that they’ve been dating for a few months now and will be doing a steamy semi-n*** calendar photoshoot to come out before she starts to show.
she even stole Kelis’ thing with the legs…but cute
yall rihanna fans get on my nerves yall swear she is tha baddest thing walking um no sweeties beyonce is her stats surpasses all them other females in tha game hands down!!!!!
if rihyodel would stop prancing around the stage like she’s at a damn underground vogue show and actually do something thats interesting we all know she cant dance but hell show a tit or sometihng rihyodel oh let me stop rihanna should just give up and do modeling now thats sometihng she would soar in
its really a hit or miss with rihanna sometimes but she is showing that she has staying power and on her grind so go rihanna
this blog hates her so much why when rude boy video came out you guys were the first to post it on the Janet forum. you guys just don’t get it they hate on RIHANNA to get stans and haters to post on here which means more money for them…..lol oh by the way you are now blocked from posting on the Janet forum again…..lol we don’t like your ass

LMAO!!!!!!!! SAM YOU GOT ME IN TROUBLE AT 2:00 IN THA MORNING I MISSED THA PART WHEN YOU SAID WHY WAS RHIANNA HOLDING THE MIC TO HER MOUTH INSTEAD OF HER NOSE AND I STARTED BUSTING OUT LAUGHING AND MY MOM CAME OUT HER ROOM AND WAS LIKE B**** YOU ON THAT S*** TAKE YO A** TO SLEEP LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just love the fact that my girl Rhi Rhi is so hott right now that she has received the most comments than any of the other post on this page so far. The more you’ll haters keep hating the more popular and rich Rhi Rhi is becoming.
“Raychel”+”Rihannadidgood”+”Dionish”+Niki”+”Tratre” = Five of the hardest-working prostitutes ‘this-side-of-the-track’: Jaw-muscles never tire/legs never-close – open all-hours: “Street-Walkers” of the World UNITE!!
For f**k sake stop hating. I am a singer, I sing soprano and I sing all Beyonce’s songs easily, but I would never attempt a Rihanna song.
Just like Beyonce does screechy high notes, like I can. I envy Rihanna’s beautiful alto voice which is far more difficult to tune + develop than soprano.
Just try. Record your self singing along to umbrella, it’s bloody hard
Kudo’s to you, beautiful altos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jazmine Sullivan is an Alto and she sings on-key, and hits amazing notes and has an amazing voice. Rihanna is an alto……doesn’t mean she can sing well.
These comments kill me sometimes! It’s one thing to have an opinion, it’s another thing to write things down that just don’t make sense.
Just because you are not an alto and she is and you can’t sing alto does not mean she can sing. How illogical is that?
Alto + Can’t Sing Alto = Rihanna can sing?
NO.
@xyz did you just call me a prostitute!!! Wtb is your problem idiot!!! You need help!!!! You don’t even know me!!!
@auntjackie just shut up and stop hating!!!!! Rihanna has a voice and she can carry a tine her voice is unique, she’s right, you try being a singer and sing along with umbrella, you can’t because her voice is defined!!!! Noone can song like her you idiot, weather it’s horrible to you or not!!! Her voice ain’t gonna be like beyonces or Jazmine sullivans so your referance #fails
Just because Rihanna can’t do what others do with their voice, that dosent mean she can’t sing!!! She has her own unique voice!!! You try singing better!!! I’m a vocalist so I know what I’m talking about. I can’t say the same about you!!!
Ugh people like you make me sick!!!
@pooka ]
Sugar reading is fundamental. I said that I was not a fan of Rhianna’s or beys for that matter. but i give props where it is due. don’t like the chics then dont buy thier music. but all the name calling and just hatin is uncalled for. and its always us sisters that do that stupid s***. why get mad at someones success. let somebody tell me i can make millions singing knowing damn well i cant. you think i would do it. yall be getting yall panties and boxers in a bunch over two rich ass females. for what? do you think they give a s***? If i don’t like anything about them chicks i have to give them props for their ability to keep it moving despite the naysayers. yall be acting like they screwed your man. ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS. let them chicks be. they ain’t robbin no banks. RIRI, BEY, or whoever. keep getting your paper. in the meantime i am trying to get mine
Sincerely,
A person with some Damn since, who loves to see my people on the come up.
@ Raychel
No one is hating on her. I actually like her, so…actually you FAIL. Just because you don’t have a legitimate answer to my comment, you resort to calling names and calling me a hater. Nice try, but it just makes you seem silly. Try actually answering my comment with a good response instead of a crazed, hysterical name calling fest that makes you look like a fool.
Anywho, it’s kind of cool that my comment got you so worked up….when I wasn’t insulting her at all.
All of the people who go back and forth on here with opinions and don’t act like psycho’s…..appreciate ‘ya.
@AUNTJACKIE ACTUALLY HUNNY YOU FAIL.
I READ YOUR COMMENTS BEFORE AND YOU SAID RIHANNA REMINDS OF YOUR LITTLE COUSIN
AND SHE CANT CARRY A TUNE
AND SHE CANT DANCE
BUT SHES CUTE
READ YOUR OWN COMMENTS
AND I RESPONDED BASED ON THAT COMMENT AND THE RECENT COMMENT
@ Raychel, you are still missing the point because you are on the defensive. Every critique of Rihanna is hating. You are just talking in circles.
I said I like her. She’s cute…..like I said.
She can’t dance, she can’t sing. That’s not necessarily an insult. She reminds me of someone I like, that isn’t talented. We all have friends or relatives that get up there an fool around and we like them. But no one says they can sing or dance. She’s distinctive…that’s for sure! And that’s why, I think she was able to be marketed and made famous. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just reality.
Not too sure what point you made by your last comment.
Also not too sure why your caps lock is ‘on lock’. Whatevs!
@aunt Jackie that’s what your missing…
If Rihanna didn’t have some type of talent she wouldn’t have been signed
your comment is offensive….
It’s not reality that Rihanna isn’t talented it’s not true it’s just your opinion
I respect you think Rihanna is defined and has her own style but I don’t respect the fact you think rihanna is talentless and that’s reality because it’s not!!!! YOU think Rihanna can’t dance or sing… But that’s your opinion!!! And you saying that stuff about her getting up and making a fool of herself like a family member to me is disrespectfull!!!
@ Raychel
Don’t argue with these crazy people. I am going to tell you the same thing its not that serious. Like I said I am not her fan, but I can clearly see that people pick on her especially after the incident. we have a blame the victim mentality in this country. we also have way to many people with low self esteem so them Rhianna and bey being in the world with them is to much. Now if they spent this much time hating people like bin laden a woman beater, a r***** or a child m******* it would make since. but when you spend time hating someone who has done nothing to you but exist, that’s a problem. some on this website including sam trent and any other n** case on this site who get their daily jollies being negative all the time need to to have a seat on a couch and talk about it. because something is missing,
This is the thing, people will argue that ‘singing’ and ‘dancing’ is something that’s a personal preference.
This is true to a certain extent. I don’t quite understand how people argue that she can sing when singing has always included: being on-key, having a voice that does not crack when notes are sung, and being able to hear the singer without amplification or computer editing software. Talking, is now considered ‘singing’.
I don’t understand how people argue she can dance if she appears stiff, often does the exact same moves with little variation, and does not appear very smooth/fluid.
If this is the type of singing and dancing people like today, fine. But I believe people like her more as a person, than as a performer. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. What I don’t like is people trying to justify why they like her by using things like singing and dancing….when it does not seem to add up. Even based on something like ‘personal preference’.
I think the thing that bothers me most is that it seems like the record companies are winning. They invest all this money in an artist that doesn’t have too much going vocally or dance wise, and then control them like a puppet, changing them when people get bored with them. It’s like having an ever lasting cash cow. Re-make them when people get bored because they are mostly image.
I don’t know, it just seems like a scheme to me! I don’t blame Rihanna for that at all…..I just think it’s important to think about/consider.
@Aunt Jackie
I love your comments. You seem like an intelligent individual….
Thanks MUSHYLOVE_1992!
It’s so interesting to read what others are thinking, and have a little fun replying.
@Raychel, I didn’t call you a “pro” …”PER-SE” – and you’re right!: I DON’T know you; BUT I do know that Rihanna exhibits all the ‘tell-tale-signs’ of a “pro”; and show me-who-you-support and I’ll show you are!
…So my advice to you: Get with the program, “wise-up” and support ‘a-winner’ like a Chris Brown or Ciara! You’ll THEN find “your walk through, and time spent in Cyberspace a most-enjoyable and memorable one! — Realest Talk!!
ZZZZZZZZZZZ…..
I COULDN’T HELP BUT COMMENT AFTER READING SOME OF THESE OTHER COMMENTS.
@AUNT JACKIE………..I AGREE WITH YOU %100000000
LMMFAOOOOOOOOO @ X,Y, AND Z……….ALWAYS LOVE YOUR COMMENTS!
