Pop mannequin Rihanna teased fans on Twitter moments ago with the above shot from the video for her latest single ‘S&M’. Word has it the Melina directed clip is set to debut within the next few weeks.

    this reminds me of “Work It Out” but it still looks dope. And i’m a bey fan.

  5. elleuk January 20, 2011

    why? beacuse beyonce also had a curly wig as well. talk about petty, its just one shot.

  6. Beystanbish January 20, 2011

    Let the Stan war begin. I’ll be back to snatch wigs. Bey also did her hair like that for Tom ford’s runway. Hehehe.

  7. UGh January 20, 2011

    Beyonce is her idol so it’s only natural for her to want to imitate her. nothing wrong with that.

  8. Beystanbish January 20, 2011

  12. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    Oh my God! I could NOT think of a video idea for this (which I normally can for any song), but a candy concept is amazing!

    @BeyStanBish
    Beyonce did her hair like that? A MILLION people have done their hair like that. She isn’t the first and won’t be the last. You sound so ignorant.

  13. Badd January 20, 2011

    Rihanna needs to go back to her GGGB style…b.c this is just not working.
    She used to be actually pretty….but now she just really isn’t
    & her whole steez is just a mess….her style has fallen off her hair
    is a mess…she comes off a desperate…..ugh.
    But yes Bey has already done this…that’s clear by the hair.

  14. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @Badd
    What do you mean by all of that? How has she “fallen off”?

    Also, Beyonce wasn’t the first to do the damn hair do. Shut up, really.

  15. Nichole January 20, 2011

    How can you tell if the video is anything like WIO, by basing an opinion off of ONE photo?

  16. Beystanbish January 20, 2011

    All I’m saying is Bey been there done that. Why you getting mad boo?

  17. Jstars January 20, 2011

  20. Blasian January 20, 2011

    Beyonce just had that hair in the Tom Ford Fashion Show . Beyonce>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  21. reauxmantic January 20, 2011

    it does remind me of work it out tho beyonce reminded me of dina ross, tina tuner and all those that she paid homage to in that video that came before her….she still looks s*** as hell

    people need to realize that there is barely n e thing new under the sun and instead of forcing originality the world is in need of creativity….

    I know I’m dumb @ rihannaforever.

    @TreysAngel
    Two things:
    1. She’s almost 23 damn years old. She may do as she pleases, as she is a grown ass woman.
    2. I think it’s the music industry as a whole that is hypersexualized; not just Rihanna.

  52. Blasian January 20, 2011

    @123456

    Beyonce been internationally known since 17 lmaooooooooooooooooooo!

    -DEATH-

  54. Curtis January 20, 2011

    Beyonce is an international b**** but Rihanna has snatched her wig at this point, she pushes way more albums off one album then Beyonce could.

    GGGB and Loud are selling more then any of Bee’s albums could internationally..sorry but its a fact I love Bee but you stans need to sit the f*** down and realize Rihanna has been a main b**** in pop music for a good min and that will not be changing

  55. Prince January 20, 2011

    Lol y is this turning in2 Bey Vs RiRi jus bcuz of a still pick….

  56. CHECKMATE January 20, 2011

  58. Blasian January 20, 2011

    Curtis

  59. Treysangel January 20, 2011

    @rihannaforever it does not matter how old she is she still looks like a street hooker sometimes I just wish she would tone that down and be the rihanna I use to love not this s** crazed image she has now

  60. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @Curtis
    I’m a Rihanna stan myself, but factually, you are incorrect.

  61. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @BeyStanBish
    “Picking corn on a farm in Barbados”. You’re the most idiotic and incorrect person that has ever walked this earth.

    @TreysAngel
    Are you a Trey Songz stan?

  62. Beystanbish January 20, 2011

    Lmao at blasiAn. Tell these nuisance. I will turn this post Upside down.

    Beystanbish

    THESE FOOLS LMAOOOOOOOOO!

  65. NJ22 January 20, 2011

    Can’t wait till the video!!
    I don’t recall beyonce inventing the frizzy Afro hair…I have seen tons of African people with that hair, that doesn’t make them beyonce-wanna be’s
    so many ignorant people on here…it’s sad that so many of you black people can’t be happy for someone who’s representing your people and making it, instead you’re full of unecessary anger and jealousy, Beyonce doesnt have to be the only “light skinned” black artist out there…
    There’s a reason why everything is so white dominated…you never see white people hating other people for having curly blonde hair that they supposedly copied from someone else?

  66. Treysangel January 20, 2011

    @rihannaforever yes

  67. Beystanbish January 20, 2011

    @rihannaforever, of course I’m an idiot. Didn’t you know that already?

  68. latin86 January 20, 2011

    Mel b n kelis rocked that hair fools beyonce wasn’t da first n work it out floppped and no one knows that song and video exsist unless they are delusional stans.that’s right I said it! Hang it up flat screen!

  69. Blasian January 20, 2011

    You let Beyonce dye her hair red or cut it short .Rihanna Goats would be the first ones saying she’s copying Rihanna SO HAVE A F****** SEAT YOU DAMN FARM ANIMALS

  70. sane beyhanna stan January 20, 2011

    Ugh I hate when ppl put my 2 faves against eachother!
    @rihannaforever
    Hun they’re past DELUSIONAL if they think that Queen bey is original herself when this look came from diana ross, also wtf why the bey stans pressed I stan for bey and I’m not worried because they both are succesful black women doing good for themselves. Why put them against eachother!?

  71. Blasian January 20, 2011

    PLUS

    BEYONCE ROCKS IT BETTER LIKE ALWAYS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  72. Treysangel January 20, 2011

    I mean how did she go from disturbia, umbrella, shut up and drive to — hey rude boy is you big enough? O_o really?!?

  73. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @NJ22
    SO true.

    @TreysAngel
    And Trey isn’t hypersexualized?

    @BeyStanBish
    But Beyonce didn’t invent this look; stop acting like she did.

    @SaneBeyhannaStan
    Hey! I haven’t seen you on a post for a little bit and the voices of reason are diminishing, LOL. I totally agree with what you said, too. I don’t stan for Beyonce but I absolutely adore her and her music. Pitting them against each other when they’re both breaking records and becoming successful and they’re both so different is just DUMB.

  74. sane beyhanna stan January 20, 2011

    This is the most idiotic stan war ever. Rihanna stans please do NOT attempt to dragg bey cuz you WILL lose. And Beyonce stans sit down u look insecure and dumb lettin a pic set you off like this. Have some damn CLASS! Smh

  75. Beystanbish January 20, 2011

    And where is Kelis and Mel b now. Oh ok. One is a washed up reality tv star and the other is a gold digger who sucked up a rapper to pay her bills. Chileeeeeee

  76. Prince January 20, 2011

    Sane Beyhanna Stan i agree with u, y put them against each other?

  77. Blasian January 20, 2011

    DON’T GIVE ME THAT B.S PUTTING BEYONCE AND RIHANNA AGAINST EACH OTHER BECAUSE IF IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND RIHANNA GOAT WOULD BE ALL UP IN THE THREAD

  78. S*** January 20, 2011

    http://i53.tinypic.com/2dt16jr.jpg

    Rihanna has down a LOT of things SAM as far as either COPYING BEYONCE or just Following Her LEAD. Like with Russian Roulete Video was like Ring the Alarm ETC

    & she does it INTENTIONALLY to pay Tribute to the Queen (Mother Bee) 🙂

  79. S*** January 20, 2011

    TYPO: *DONE* not *down*

  80. Beystanbish January 20, 2011

    Lmao at blasiAn. These fools stays pressed when others are ‘supposedly’ copying Rnihanna. We are just returning the favor. Like that Photoshop pic of Bey with red hair. They went off even though it was photoshopped. Chile. No one does Internet dragging like me so you b****** better give up now.

  81. NJ22 January 20, 2011

    People comparing beyonce’s album sales to Rihanna’s. How do you possibly feel good about yourself for even saying that..really?
    Beyonce’s been around since the 90’s, and she was a part of the biggest girl group, comparing that to someone who starter their career just 6 years ago from scratch! Really?
    That shouldn’t even be something to debate about. Quit hating.

  82. sane beyhanna stan January 20, 2011

    @ blasian don’t make it seem like I’m saying its ok for rih stans to act delusional cuz if the tables were turned I’d say the same s***. Rihanna aint original either.and unlike other fans of hers I don’t think she’s the center of the universe…

  83. Beystanbish January 20, 2011

    You my friend @blasiAn is my internet best friend. We both understand completely. Smdh

  84. Blasian January 20, 2011

    NJ22

    SO tell the Rihanna GOATS don’t bring up Beyonce sales because they will get their feelings hurt but the fact still remains ONE of Beyonce albums outsold ALL of Rihanna’s Bless ur lil Heart

  96. DION-ISH January 20, 2011

    And of COURSE Bee Stans are going to REACH to the almighty heavens to find SOMETHING similar to Rih and Bee….Like Please….Beyonce isnt orignal at all and jacks half her s*** from aritst that are *supposly* less talented which makes it more sad….She copied Britney Spears, J-Lo, Shakira, Kylie Minogue, Rihanna and the list goes ONNNN Honey….Plus Who gives a f** about having similar hair….Less talk about her false artistry ..Thats down right stealing, jacking someones creativity. A Hair style is a fukin hairstyle *Shrugs*

  97. Drew January 20, 2011

    @Blasian
    What you’re saying is dumb as f***, so how about you go worship Beyonce a little damn more. She isn’t God, for chrissakes.

    @S***
    Rihanna is not, will not, and never has copied Beyonce. Beyonce’s copied everyone. NOTHING in music is original, okay?

  98. Bubbles January 20, 2011

    @Treysangel
    First of all you stan for trey so your opinion is automatically void. Also why are u acting like Rihanna only just started having suggestive lyrics in her songs? You mentioned ‘Shut up and drive’ but you must not have listened to it because the lyrics are clearly saucy and metaphorical.

    Now you Bey stains need to keep it cute and stop acting like she invented everything under the sun because that is obviously not the case and you know this.

    As for this pic…s***, can’t wait to see the video!

  99. Rihannastan January 20, 2011

    Lmao! Ok Rihanna is definitely not coppying beyonce! As far as I kno the director and her team is behind this look,and um I’m pretty sure she has something to do with it also…it’s funny how some of these haters are saying these horrible things about rih when their the main bitchez bumpin to her music…hahaha..I’m pretty sure Sam n Trent are complete losers,lol…I mean you guys are those dedicated haters aka undercover fans that sit there waiting hours upon hours for updates on Rihanna ,lol how pathetic..and ummm you guys turning this into a Rih vs. Bey thing is kinda pointless to b completely honest, we all know she loves beyonce,n bey loves her back..haha.. All of these comments on how she needs to go back to GGGB era is also pointless becuz “there’s no way she’s turning BACK,” *starts singin S&M* ..all this hate is unesicary becuz this b**** is here to fuxxin stay so pay it! She’ll dance wen shez ready..#1 album in the World for every week so far in 2011! #rihannanavy dnt argue with these losers becuz ri ri says “haters are just major fans with too much pride”lmaoooo…gotta love her eat this 8=======D— haters!
    P.s.excuse the spelling errors,I’m typing via iPad! Which is also rihannas favorite gadget.lol ughh I love that girl,how can you guys hate her!? *plays LOUD*

    @DIONISH
    Melina’s videos aren’t that bad and I agree with your post 100%

  104. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @S***
    I agree with you for once! Melina is a GREAT director.

    @Blasian
    How about you go look at Diana Ross and Tina Turner stills and then at Beyonce stills. Beyonce isn’t original either. NO ONE in the music industry has been.

  105. DION-ISH January 20, 2011

    @RIHANNAFOREVER

    She does TEW many damn graphics and green screens for me…I Like the more visually appealing stuff that Anthony Mandler does…But thats just me. *Shrugs*

    Hopefully she proves me wrong with this one.

  106. Blasian January 20, 2011

    CH… KICK ROCKS WITH THAT ONE

    AS I WAS SAYING RIHANNA IS COPYING BEYONCE AGAIN

  107. lola January 20, 2011

    This b**** is ugly and that hair looks a damn mess!

  108. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @Dion-ish
    I wish Rihanna would collaborate with Jonas Akerlund. That would be HOT. But anyways, Melina is great.

    She does too many videos with Mandler. He’s a great director, but variety is paramount. I just hope she NEVER hooks up with Hype. He’s a horrible director.

  109. Blasian January 20, 2011

    Where did I say the hair style is original ?

    WHAT I SAID WAS RIHANNA IS DOING THE BEYONCE

    actually people been doing this before bey and ri yall favs didnt come up wit the s*** its all recycled. and rhianna stans you cant possibly be complaining that someone said she is copyig beyonce because everytime a girl has short hair she tryna be rhianna like she made the short hair up. pop culture and fans are stupid and cluless as hell very sad very sad.

    Do NOT attempt to discredit rihanna when your fave had to resort to taking his shirt off to get recognized. Just cuz he’s a man doesn’t make it okay and if your gonna call rihanna out please call trey out too! I mean he has a song called “say ah” like how vulgar can you get.? Smh rihanna has been flirtacious yet classy in her videos so sorry don’t go there.!!

    You should have! I’d probably believe you since you’re a credible person, LOL. By the way, I think the video will be good but I always have high expectations for her. Not unreachably high, though. What’s so wrong about the eye patch…?

    Anyways, do you stan for Janelle? I know you said you don’t stan for artists, but…

ITS ALREADY BAD ENOUGH HER VOICE SOUNDS LIKE A CAT GETTING R**** BY A BIG D*** DOG, WITH A METAL SONG PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND. NOT ONLY THAT SHE HAS THE STAGE PRESENCE OF A DEAD COCKAROACH. ITS THE SAME DAMN THING EVERY F****** PERFORMANCE. *TAPS P*****, *BLEETS INTO MICROPHONE*, *FEELS HERSELF UP*, *BLEETS AGAIN*…SMH. THE B**** CAN AT LEAST ACT LIKE SHE WANTS TO BE ONSTAGE.

    I Have to say I Agree with you for once. *Sigh* My expectations are low for this video ..hopefully im proven wrong. Ive been pissed at her about her videos ever since that crap Whats My Name…it wasnt Bad, but it wasnt amazing either….i need Rihanna to bring something different to these videos and not the typical.

  145. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ RF:

    The eye patch makes me think the video will be random… and not in a good way. I don’t know why I think that, but that’s what I assume. If it’s gonna be pirate-themed, then I hope it will be good.

    Oh, I don’t really stan for anyone. I love Janelle, but even the artists that I’ve loved a long time and probably like better, I don’t really stan for them. Besides, I associate stanning with being a crazy ass stalker, even though you and a few others defy that stereotype.

    @ Dion-ish:

    So far, I have not been impressed with any of the videos for the single for Loud. Her last good video was Rude Boy. Like RF said, she needs to switch it up with more creative directors. Her entire career, it’s been Chris Applebaum and Anthony Mandler. And 90% of the time, it’s Anthony. Dude isn’t even THAT good, cause I’ve seen other artists’ videos directed by him. His best video was “Irreplaceable”.

  149. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    That’s a good point about the whole stanning thing and I’m crazy about certain things so I understand your feelings towards an eye patch, LOL.

    Also, I have to say that I really haven’t been super impressed either. The “Only Girl” and “What’s My Name?” videos were great, but they weren’t spectacular and Rihanna usually brings it on the video front.

    You know I stan for Nicki, but I’ll just say I’ve given up on her bringing a good solo video to the table.

    Video-Wise, I think Rih has really FELL OFF big-time. She hasnt had a truly GREAT Video since the GGGB Era/Disturbia but atleast this prove that she (& Bey) can sell without the help of Videos(Gaga) 🙂

    ~No Hate Just Truth

  152. Gucci January 20, 2011

    Many Rihanna stans love Beyonce and vice versa. Please stop playing into the stan wars that forever pressed Sam and the Beylusional Army start. Educated readers can see that this was stan war bait. When did comparing one video still to an entire video make any sense to begin with?

  153. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ RF:

    The closest Nicki has to a great video is the samurai-themed one (I forgot the name).

    And I don’t know what’s going on with Rihanna’s marketing team. It’s no coincidence that her most successful singles have the best videos, so what’s up with the laziness this time?

  154. DION-ISH January 20, 2011

    And She better not come with some Random as S*** that has NOTHING to do with the song like Gaga…Uh huh NO MA’AM

    That IS All.

  155. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    Agreed, except for the Gaga part. Only because we’ve yet to know if Gaga can sell well without spectacular videos.

    Im starting to feel like this is some reverse type s***.

    Rated R had Great Videos, But the singles weren’t doing magnificent

    Loud Records are Slaying HARD but the videos are seemingly lackluster

  158. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @Dion-ish
    I actually agree, LOL.

    @TrueBlue
    The “Your Love” video. Nicki’s never made a very good video, and the “Moment 4 Life” video looks basic, so I’m hoping the “Fly” video is at least marginally better.

    I agree about what you said with videos for successful singles and while I don’t think that the “Only Girl” and WMN videos were bad, they were way worse than they should’ve been for Rihanna – especially since Loud is shaping up to be a bigger era for her than even GGGB.

  159. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @S***
    She can sell without spectacular videos…case-and-point, “Just Dance” and “Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say”.

  160. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ RF:

    Is it just me or is she holding a jewel-studded ice cream in the photo?

    Anyway, I’m not sure what’s up with all the basic videos lately… Def Jam and Young Money’s funds for music videos probably dried up? To be honest, I’m surprised Nicki is selling so well, because as of now she still hasn’t got a blockbuster single, and normally only established artists these days can sell albums without singles that catch the public’s attention.

    Off-topic: do you like AFI?

  161. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    It seems Sam’s ploy to start a stan war worked. Pathetic, its a freaking hairstyle. Beyonce doesn’t own it and neither does Rihanna. When I see her hula hooping with “Virgo” written on her back then you can talk. Until then…..

    @ RF:

    “Poker Face” and “Paparazzi” made up for them, though. I think S*** meant an entire album era devoid of memorable videos (although Beyoncé has always had at least one highly successful video for each of her albums).

  164. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    I agree. The videos from them aren’t up to par with their previous videos. Also, I adore Nicki, but I have no idea how in the world she’s earning so much success without a hit single and without much promotion.

    I do like AFI, however, I’m not a huge fan because of their horror punk days. I dislike horror punk…

  165. DION-ISH January 20, 2011

    @RIHANNAFOREVER

    LOL.

    And i actually LOVE the Only Girl video….I Would say i can enjoy that one but WMN was basic as hell. i hardly watch it. i could probably count on one hand how many times ive seen it.

  166. All hail the trinity January 20, 2011

    She doesnt pull off that hair like Bey does

    Rihanna really doesnt look cute at all in that pic. She used to be gorgeous back in the day but now she looks old as hell and washed up

  167. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    That’s true. I don’t think Beyonce has ever done so, like you said. DIL had the “Crazy In Love” video (most videos from that era were great), B’Day had “Ring the Alarm”, and the videos from IASF were all fantastic and superb except maybe “Halo”. The underwater scene in that video made up for the rest of it though. Love that portion.

    I can’t stand their goth punk era, too! “Sing The Sorrow” will always remain my guilty pleasure, but it’s also the only album from that that I like. Past two albums have lost their edge for me.

    I completely agree about “Halo”. The video is underwhelming, but the underwater scene is beautiful. I’m surprised no one has accused her of swagger-jacking Evanescence, though…

    @TrueBlue
    I agree! I love Sing The Sorrow but lately, AFI have been so underwhelming which is disappointing because some of their albums were just fantastic.

    As for Beyonce, I completely agree. The only reason I love that video was because of the underwater scene. It was just gorgeous.

    And no one EVER accuses Beyonce of swagger-jacking. Ever heard my theory about Ri vs. B stans?

    Rihanna and Beyonce have almost equally crazy stans but to me, it seems like Beyonce stans get away with more because Beyonce’s considered to be more credible as an artist.

    @dion-ish
    I agree I think what’s my name and only girl deserved better videos to be such great songs. Honestly rihs laziest video to me is” shut and drive”, and” we ride” I’m not anticipating S&M vid cuz I don’t Love the song enough its grown on me but it just isn’t my fave track off LOUD

  180. S*** January 20, 2011

    @ All hail the trinity

    I Agree. Rih should just stick to her Edgy Look & let Bey do ‘Wild, Messy & Funky’ cause NEITHER can pull off eachother’s Look…

  181. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    DEAD at the orderlies comment. I was also thinking Peris was NIcky, too.

    By the way, don’t you think that Nicky probably stays at the House of the Dogs, like in the “Tightrope” video?

  182. Beyoncé Knowles Herself January 20, 2011

    probably but S*** too. lol

  183. S*** January 20, 2011

    @ Peris

    & out of that list I think LOUD might be the only one that sells UNDER 6 Million…

    I Still consider her a SINGLES artist that only manages to sell decent Album figures & not the other way around(Beyonce).

  184. Peris January 20, 2011

    @ BLASIAN

    LMFAO!!! YOU SOUND SO PRESSED HUNTY! LMFAO!!!

    LET RIHANNA BE BABEZ! I KNOW IT HURTS YOU SO MUCH HAHAHHA….DONT YOU LOVE THE SUCCESS SHE’S HAVING?

    HAHAHAHAHAH

  185. S*** January 20, 2011

    @ Peris

    LOUD might be the only one on that list that FAILS to sell 6 or even 5 Million…

  186. Beyoncé Knowles Herself January 20, 2011

    People who stan don’t have a life and have low-self esteem.

  187. Peris January 20, 2011

    LMFAO @ S***

    HUNTY!!!! THANKS FOR YOUR OPINION LMFAO!!!!!!!

    LOUD IS GOING TO SELL MORE THAN 6 MILLION…..HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO BET?????

    RIH RIH GOT MORE SMASHES COMING UP!!!!!!!!!

    WHO’S GOING TO BE THE ONLY ONE TO PUSH ANOTHER 100K+ THIS WEEK ON THE WORLD CHART?

    RIHANNA!!!

  188. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ RF:

    Oh, Beyoncé gets accused of swagger-jacking a LOT. So does Rihanna, and since they’re considered “competition” for each other, the accusations go both ways. But since Bey’s been out way longer it’s “Rihanna copies Beyoncé” instead of “Beyoncé copies Rihanna”. Although during the “A Girl Like Me” era, Rihanna got away from the island girl look and adopted a more mainstream look, but wasn’t totally different, so she was dubbed as a “mini Beyoncé” by some.

    BTW, do you know of AFI’s side project Blaqk Audio?

    They have a YouTube video dedicated to Beyonce “swagger-jacking”. I don’t think Beyonce stans get away with much, they just have a more credible artist.

  195. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    I’ve never really noticed, but I just looked up a few articles. I knew she was accused of swagger-jacking J. Lo and a few others, but not to this extent. LOL, guess it is true that you learn something new everyday.

    PALACE of the Dogs. I was forgetting what it was. Anyways, that’s very true. I wonder if Jason is Nicky’s father…

    Very true, actually.

    Actually, that was kind of rude. People who do that seriously must have really sad lives and I feel sorry for them. Insulting them is unwarranted.

    Anyways, I’m not. I’m a college student and I also work part-time but because I’m earning my DDS and MBD, I rarely have homework and exams/tests are infrequent.

    That was just so rude. I’m appalled.

  202. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @Killah
    By the way, the only reason I’m appalled is because I’ve had friends who have experienced severe depression and done things like stayed home and on the internet, so it’s just insensitive on your part.

    You and RF (And Amazing.Lee, S*** (even though he’s delusional at times, he’s funny), Drew, Kavion and Psycho Nicky’s entertaining delusions along with all stan wars) are why I keep coming back to this site.

    Cause Sam & Trent suck.

  207. bruce January 20, 2011

    rihanna rocks f** the haters, loud is the #1 album in the world for the 4th week and this video is just gonna give her more sales so it dont matter wat yll think HATERS!

  208. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    I leave for a couple of months, come back and things still havent changed…lol. Anyways, Im not to fond of this song, but maybe the video will change my presepctive. *Crosses Fingers*….

    @Rihanna4ever

    Lol, I got your back. You’ve got me liking Rihanna a lot more than I use to.

    @True Blue

    Don’t forget Royalkev, can’t wait for his blog to get launched. And watch your comment get altered, or mine. Lol

  210. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    Same. You, TheKiddz, Drew, SaneBeyhannaStan, and Kavion are a joy to talk to – especially since my friends aren’t music lovers – and then Nicky, S***, and Amazing~Lee are hilarious.

  211. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TheKiddz
    Thanks! I got the backs of a few people (mentioned them in my other comment), simply because you guys are voices of reason on a site owned and dominated by nutjobs.

    Really? That’s awesome, LOL. It’s funny because a ton of my friends just don’t get my taste in music. I mean I stan for Nicki and Rihanna but appreciate the likes of Florence + The Machine and Janelle Monae.

    Oh, and RoyalKev is great. He’s intelligent, and not delusional, so his blog will likely be great. We should just all leave TGJ for his blog, LOL.

    I would do so, but Nicky and S*** may not go and they’re HILARIOUS.

  212. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    S***?….LMBO! What kind of username is that..lol! You can say millions of things about the people that post here, but you cant call them boring 😆

  213. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ TheKiddz:

    Can’t forget RoyalKev either, he’s one of the few voices of reason on this site as well. I just don’t see him that often, but I’ll be interested in reading his blog.

    @ RF:

    Your music tastes mirror mine in a way. I love classic & alternative music but I also listen to modern mainstream pop music, which makes me an anomaly in some circles, so I can relate to you in that way.

    And it would be funny if S*** & Nicky follow RoyalKev, but I’m not sure that RoyalKev would allow stan wars on his blog.

    @ RF:

    You’re the only Rihanna stan (that I know of) that could convert a Rihanna hater/non-fan into a fan, simply because you’re not overbearing and delusional.

    This is proof that the attitude of a fanbase can reflect either wonderfully or poorly on the artist.

  216. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ RiciBey:

    And I love that she keeps making fans. 🙂

  217. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @True Blue

    Her album The ArchAndroid was amazing! She better have fans..lol!

  218. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    That’s something I’ve noticed to. We both love alternative, indie, and non-mainstream music overall but also listen to mainstream music.

    As for your comment about a fanbase, it’s great that that’s happened! I actually remember, strangely, when I first started visiting this site and like you said, you didn’t like Rihanna much. I just think that proves that a fanbase has a huge influence on the artist’s perception.

    Side-note: This may be the most random thing I’ve ever posted, but I had a dentist appointment today and they started playing “Cosmic Love”. I started murmuring the lyrics so my dentist got irritated. Florence does crazy things to me, LOL.

    @RiciBey
    Yay! Janelle is so fantastic.

  219. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    *too

  220. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ RF:

    I heard Dog Days Are Over on the radio in the supermarket a month ago, and I got so excited that she’s made it this far to be played on mainstream radio that I started doing a happy dance. A couple of people looked at me.

    I love Florence, too. I actually have Google News alert me on anything and everything about her (this is borderline stanning, I know).

    @ RiciBey:

    Best album of the past year. It deserves way more recognition.

  221. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @RihannaForever

    Fantastic indeed. My stepsister is a Janelle Monae fan as well. She’ll always ask me whats my least favorite song on the album, but I cant give her any. Every song is perfection…

  222. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    LOL, that’s hilarious. I do things like that all the time. My personality plus my fashion style kind of make me stand out. Anyways, it’s great that her recognition is increasing. People say talent in the US has been diminished, but I do feel that people are slowly starting to care more about talent than the next song that you can dance to.

    Also, that is borderline stanning. I don’t even do that with Nicki Minaj (I do with Rihanna, though). As for Janelle, I agree that her album deserves more recognition. I wouldn’t necessarily call it the best album of 2010 simply because I can’t compare it to Pink Friday and Loud (they’re all completely different).

  223. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    @True Blue

    But, that’s the beautiful thing about music. If people talked more about the emotions they feel when they listen to a certain song rather than where it peaked on the charts, or how much the album sold; we can learn SO MUCH about different kinds of music. Expose ourselves to so many sounds and voices. I think that’s why music back then was so expressive and organic, it just was music. There were no blogs pitting artists against each other or calling others flops.

  224. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @RiriBey
    I feel the same way! The record is so amazing in every way – the sound, the flow, the cohesiveness, the lyrics, the vocals, the production – it’s just so well crafted. What I love about her is her personality. She’s so polite and articulate but still remains interesting because she isn’t very open about her life, which is good in some ways.

    She also sticks to the lyrics of “Tightrope” well. She’s never really down or high, LOL.

  225. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    Speaking of Janelle, any news of a new album? I cant wait for Adele.

  226. It’s funny January 20, 2011

    @ Killah

    i agree, i just realized that rihanna forever was like everywhere (im sure there’re others but i really dont have time 4 that), i wonder how people can just make up their mind to spend their days in front of screens,arguin on blogs…i came here for info about artists, then i saw over 200 comments, i was curious, then i realized there was a bunch of no lives hidden here lol, bye folks (real life’s better)

  227. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @True Blue

    I agree. Janelle is so underrated, it ought to be a sin. When I drive home from school, I listen to the radio in disgust. But I just have to be patient and have faith. My girls time is coming 🙂

  228. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TheKiddz
    Well said. Music’s really gone downhill. However, I try to appreciate all artists to some extent – which is evident since I stan for Rihanna and Nicki Minaj. The only artist I cannot stand is Taylor Swift. I hate considering myself a hater of sorts, but there is NOTHING I like about the girl.

  229. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TheKiddz
    Not yet, sadly. I wish there was. Did you hear about her belief in time-travel though? My, my…but I’m psyched for Adele’s 21. The vengeful lyrics are great with her voice. Are you a fan of Duffy?

    @ItsFunny
    I love when people say I spend hours on this blog when really all of my comments are in a time period of just an hour or two. Anyways, I don’t need to explain myself. I do as I please and there is no reason for you to judge that.

    Just wondering, aren’t you a no-life too if you’re monitoring my comments?

  230. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @RihannaForever

    IKR! Its something about her. I dont know what it is. She just reels me in with every word that comes out of her mouth. I would love to sit down and have a conversation with, just to see where she is mentally. I remember when she accepted her win @ the Soul Train Awards. She explained how she wanted people in the industry to promote diversity, and to love and accept ourselves for who we are. I was screaming in the living room like “GO JANELLE”!..lol!

  231. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    @Rihanna4ever

    I can’t stand that Chinese mouse. Or Cher. I swear that woman is a witch. And it’s funny how we are upsetting people with our convo, don’t they know phones are portable? I’m not at home sitting at the computer. Lol.

  232. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ TheKiddz:

    Exactly. And music wasn’t always a competition. It wasn’t about who had the most #1s, who sold the most albums in a given period, who has the most Grammys, who earned the highest spot on Forbes, etc.

    I think all of that silly nonsense basically reflects the state of music today. Not too many of today’s acts are great talents, so their stans have to resort to comparing who has bigger commercial success. I can’t imagine that, say, Marvin Gaye, Barry White and Stevie Wonder stans were arguing about who sold more albums or who had the highest placement on the charts.

    Also, I don’t think Janelle has any new album in the works at the moment. I can’t wait for Adele, either. I wish Sam & Trent would give her some attention, being that she’s an R&B/soul act, and this IS an urban blog.

    @ RF & RiciBey:

    The entire album is flawless in my opinion, but I have to say that my favorite track is Ba Bop Bye Ya. Pure, epic masterpiece.

  233. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @RiCiBey
    LOL! I love Janelle and my dream would be to meet her and have a conversation with her. She’s just amazing, to be frank.

    Also, some people think she’s too smart, it seems, and I hate that. It’s like “Why can’t an artist be intelligent?”. Some people almost expect their favorite pop star to be dumb.

  234. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @Its Funny

    You say people have no lives, because they post here but yet your here? Adding to the comments, I might add. Why dont you do us all a favor and drink a nice hot cup of STFU. Please and thank you 🙂

  235. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TheKiddz
    “Can’t stand that Chinese mouse”
    DEAD.
    I dislike Cher, too. I never say any of that around my parents, though. Specifically my mum. She seems to think that Cher is some sort of hilarious, witty goddess and that Taylor Swift is the future of music. Dear Lord, I hope she isn’t.

    As for our conversation, I agree. I’m on my computer right now, but I’m usually on my phone checking TGJ every once in a while. I’m not huge on social networking sites, so this solely occupies my time. I’m not glued to the computer, or something, LOL.

    @TrueBlue/TheKiddz
    It is sad. I almost wonder what happened to talent. I hate the competitiveness that’s overtaken the industry. It used to be about talent and how well your album was made, but it’s just about #1s and awards, now, unfortunately.

    I hate when my brother says that. When she was giving her acceptance speech he automatically labeled her as boring. If a side-eye could, he wouldve been dead…lol! I told him how shes a great role model for girls of my generation, and is an amzing musician but he wasnt hearing me. He was like..”Well she aiant no Beyonce or Ciara”, I was so upset…

    @ RiciBey:

    I love your response to that idiot, particularly the “drink a nice hot cup of STFU” part. I’ve been called out for supposedly having no life because I comment here often, and that person said he reads this blog everyday and sees me on here. I’m like, well if you visit this blog everyday and follow my comments, then how are you any better?

    @ RF:

    Some people say she’s too stiff, too full of herself or too calculated, but they go on and on and on about how Gaga is a “genius” in her interviews ( don’t get me wrong, I think she’s intelligent, but she has said some dumb/pompous things as well). Janelle is confident and articulate without being condescending or arrogant.

    I love Amy, but I’m so scared that her drug abuse has ruined her voice. I mean, look at Whitney.

    @ RiciBey:

    Sad. I love Bey, but I hate that she’s become the de facto standard for all black female pop stars. Janelle is right when she says that she wants to prove that black women are not monolithic, because apparently a lot of people think we are.

    I agree. I hear the boys at my school say those type of things all the time. They feel that if girls doesnt look like Beyonce, Rihanna, or Ciara then that women isnt worth talking to, or that women isnt considered beautiful. All women come in different shapes and sizes, and were all beautiful in some shape, form, or fashion. The sooner men realize that, the better.

  251. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    I agree with that, though. People say things like that but I just simply disagree. Janelle is similar to Gaga in personality but not once has Janelle come across as arrogant whereas Gaga has on multiple occasions. Don’t get me wrong; I semi-stan for Gaga, but I just don’t enjoy the occasional arrogance.

    @TheKiddz
    Well said, LOL.

    @Drew
    Hey 😀 How are you?

  252. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    And thats the thing Janelle was talking about. I pray that one day things can change for the better. Because its only going to get worse as generations go by…

  253. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    @True Blue

    It shouldn’t do much damage as I don’ think she’s on tour or anything. Whitney was a combination of drugs, excessive belting (she never learned to properly mix, plus she was over indulgent) and miscarriages. And as for Bey being the standard, Idk. A lot of artist have listed her as a major influence on their sound, including Adele and Janelle. Even male artist, Drake, Miguel, and Chris. I think she’s very intelligent, she just doesn’t like speaking in interviews/award shows.

  254. Drew January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    Nothing much. Just had a ton of homework to do. I thought, maybe, once high school ended that my homework would decrease. But no, I’m stuck with more homework than ever before – even as a junior.

    @ RiciBey (I just realized you’re a sane Rihanna/Bey stan. We need more of you!):

    I really hope things change at least within my generation. I mean it’s the second decade of the 21st century, not the 1950s. We shouldn’t be lacking in diversity.

    @ RF:

    Did you see the interview where Gaga didn’t know what feminism was?

  257. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @RiCiBey
    So well said. I just wish more artists like Adele, who isn’t size 0, and artists like Beyonce, who have curves, were famous and given a chance because talent comes in humans, period. It doesn’t discriminate and I hate that the music industry does so.

    The music industry executives seem to think that the general public doesn’t want to listen to artists who aren’t the most gorgeous people in the world, but I wonder if they know that they’re the ones to blame for that truth.

    Also, I don’t agree with the “shut up and sing” mantra, but I do think that sometimes, it becomes overdone.

    @Drew
    Sorry! That’s not how things are with me, thankfully.

    @TheKiddz
    True…have you ever heard Drake talk? Do you like him?

  258. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @Drew

    I wish she could too. Not only is her voice incredible, her 2 albums were sooooo underrated. Im glad she came out with that mixtape, because I just about damaged the cds playing them so much…

  259. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    @RiciBey

    Hate to say it, but the black community are like a bunch of crabs; always dragging each other down. You won’t believe the hard time I get for being biracial. And BET does nothing but promote those negative stereotypes. Don’t get me started on rappers always talking about light skinned women. Lol.

  260. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ TheKiddz:

    I hope, because I’ve heard (don’t know if this is true, but I hope I’m wrong) that her lungs are at 30% capacity due to her emphysema. As for Bey, I was referring to her image and sound and how every black female R&B/pop singer MUST be compared to her. But I’m glad that she’s influencing a diverse mix of artists. Florence loves her too.

    BTW, I didn’t know miscarriages could affect your voice.

    @ Drew:

    Oh. That sucks.

  261. CURLY SUE January 20, 2011

    Wow one video still has the blog raving. Go Rihanna!

  262. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    Yes! I LIVE for that interview. I love Gaga’s music, image, etc. but it’s just funny when her insane stans think she’s some extreme genius but doesn’t know what feminism is. Then Rihanna is insulted when she mixed up superstitious and superficial.

    The truth is, I wonder if Rihanna really knew. If she didn’t, I wonder if she was upset about it afterwards. I know I’d be embarrassed.

  263. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ TheKiddz:

    STILL??? I have a biracial cousin who also has to put up with that, but damn, it’s 2011, not 1960…

  264. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    @Rihanna4ever

    I LOVE Drake! He’s so cute, IMO. He talks really well, I was actually surprised. He’s soft spoken, but really articulate and expressive. And the way he talks about music is beautiful, you can tell he loves what he does. Now, I don’t like his antics on stage….trying to be s*** and s*** lol.

  265. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue

    Why thank you..lol! And I agree.

    @RihannaForever

    I agree. When I buy a cd, Im not listening to their faces. Im listening to there voice. I dont care if the artist is a size 2 or 22. If they have talent, Im all ears…

  266. Drew January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    No problem. Just glad it’s over with, LOL. I’m just hoping Whitney makes a comeback because I Look to You was not the business.

    @TheKiddz
    I agree. I’m black, and a lot of my friends are black, but even within our social circle you wouldn’t believe the negativity! With friends, even, there’s so much negativity and the need to degrade people or “cut them down to size” is insane.

    @RiCiBey
    I totally agree. She can SANG, and I wish she was more popular. I just want that damn All I Want Is Everything to be released. I love that mixtape so much, but I need more music desperately.

  267. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ RF:

    I know! When I saw that interview, I was like “Jesus Christ, this woman has feminism confused with misandry”. And what’s funny is that if it were ANYONE else who made that gaffe, they would be forever painted as stupid. I love Gaga, but I do wish her stans would tone it down with their praises. She’s not perfect, and she’s not a genius, nor is she the savior of pop music (that is, until I hear Born This Way).

    As for Rihanna, I don’t know (or remember) which interview where she got superstitious mixed up with superficial. What was the context?

  268. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @TheKiddz

    I agree. I hate it when people tell me “Your beautiful for a brown skin girl”, and Im just thinking to myself, why cant I be just a beautiful girl?

    And BET is whack now. The only time I tune in is when “The Game” comes on…

  269. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue/@TheKiddz
    It’s crazy! My best friend is biracial and even though he looks completely black (just light-skinned), people, specifically fellow blacks, seem to think of him in a lesser respect after they find out he’s biracial. There’s even this one guy who goes to our college who thought that my best friend was great until he found out that he was biracial – and then he just cut all communication. I was really shocked.

    I love the way 2011 sounds. LOL, I’m such a dork at times.

    @RiCiBey
    Exactly! Even in videos, I don’t care. It’s the music that matters to me.

  270. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    @True Blue

    Why can’t people just stay above the influence? Lol. Ok, now I see what you’re saying about Bey. I have no answer to that one, Beyonce does Beyonce well; we don’t need and will never have another. And miscarriages affect hormones, which in turn affect the voice.

    And yea. People think I’m stuck up because of my skin tone, its ridiculous.

  271. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @Drew

    IKR! That album release cant come quick enough. I love that shes grown as an artist, and talks about more in depth things.

  272. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    So true! Just because it was Gaga who made that verbal blunder, no one seems to care. However, if it were anyone else, they’d be forever labeled as incompetent or uneducated.

    She brought up that she thought her house was haunted, I believe, and upon further questioning she said that she was really superficial and then Sam/Trent (I don’t recall) felt that that was extremely newsworthy and made a post about it that started a whole damn stan war.

    @TheKiddz
    I agree! For a while, I didn’t know if I liked Drake because it seemed like he was trying to be Lil Wayne (while Wayne was in jail), but now that Wayne is free he seems to be returning to himself again, if that is understandable.

    I will NEVER see Drake live. He’s a great performer, cares a lot about music, is extremely intelligent and well spoken, but he thinks he’s some stud on stage and he’s not. One of my girlfriends wants to see him shirtless. Eww. The closest I saw to that was in the “Say Something” video and it looked like he had chest hair and I just thought “no”.

  273. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @RihannaForever

    Exactly. I pray they invent a time machine I swear..lol!

  274. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    Not to mention I’m gay and often get mistaken as a girl, that’s another strike against me. Lol.

  275. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ RF:

    WTF?!?! I don’t even understand this racism, this almost reminds me of “Showboat” for some reason…

    @ TheKiddz:

    You, me and Rihanna can relate to that. Because as if racism from other races isn’t bad enough, we must have internal racism too.

  276. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    @RiciBey

    I don’t watch BET at all! It’s like Huey from the Boondocks says; you feel dumber with each minute passing by. I might watch if Bey is performing, but even then it’s too much of a risk. Lol.

  277. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ RF:

    LOL @ you not wanting to see Drake trying to be romantic (it does look like he tries too hard, though).

    As for Rihanna, I think it was just a mistake. I’m sure she meant superstitious, but it came out wrong. I’ve made gaffes like that too. Your brain gets temporarily confused.

    @TheKiddz:

    Probably just jealous of your looks. They see you rolling, they hatin’….

  278. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @RiCiBey
    I would love a time machine! If it weren’t for the grandfather paradox…

    @TrueBlue
    I know! The internal racism is insane, to me. I’m half-Asian, as I’m sure I’ve told you, but growing up in LA early in the 2000s, people were more accepting of me then than they are now. It’s weird because Seattle as a whole isn’t very racist at all; the people here are very open.

    @TheKiddz
    Growing up, my brother was always mistaken for a female. He isn’t gay, but he wore his hair really long for a while and it was kind of annoying. I always figure: if you don’t know someone’s s**, don’t refer to them as male or female. It’s THAT simple.

  279. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    I’m I the only one who finds Drake attractive? He’s got a cute, nerdy thing going. Whatever, ya’ll just jealous. Like our good friend @Dion-Ish says: *flips bangs*

  280. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TheKiddz/@RiCiBey
    I hate BET. I only watch The Game. It was good for a while, but lately it’s just dumb and uninspiring.

    @TrueBlue
    I believe the same. It was probably just a mistake for her because obviously, with so much information transferring in and out of one’s brain and practically floating around, confusion occurs. Gaga, however, didn’t even have any idea what feminism was.

    @TrueBlue/@TheKiddz
    I just HATE the skin bleaching rumors that surround Rihanna, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, etc.

  281. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @TheKiddz

    What baffles me is that the network went downhill so quickly. It wasnt to long ago they delivered positive messages to the youth. They had uplifting shows like “TeenSummit” that tought you about drugs, alcohol, and protected s**. Now the only thing we have to look forward to is corny reality shows and mockery. But I will admit, that it SEEMS like they’re trying to go in a different direction. But overall, its still horrible…

  282. ICON January 20, 2011

    This is partly the reason I don’t like Beyonce. Her stans are insane (Besides Kavion, The Kiddz and Drew). Just ONE pic can result into 250+ pages on this thread. Beyonce didn’t create that hairstyle. Diana Ross did. Beside may I repeat, THIS IS JUST ONE PIC NOT THE WHOLE FREAKIN’ VIDEO!

    PATHETIC. All these stan wars are stupid. And you are craving in the response Sam wanted. SMH

    Anyways back to important matters, I’m loving the concept of S&M video. I need more stills RiRi.

  283. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    *am i*

  284. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @Icon
    ICON! LOL. Anyways, I agree with what you said. It’s sad to me, though, that Trent and Sam crave stan wars so badly. I don’t see how Rihanna was “swagger-jacking” Beyonce with a hairstyle.

    As for this video, I’m excited. Just hoping it’s better than her last 2 videos. I just didn’t love them.

  285. Saaaaay whaaaa January 20, 2011

    Only Rihanna can cause an uproar over a photo.

    I love it!!!

  286. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    Drake makes me laugh. He can be so corny, but so cool at the same time. @TheKiddz Did you read where he said Winnie The Pooh was his inspiration for his next album..lol! Its little things like that that makes me like him. Hes not worried about whats hip or cool, hes just doing him. We need more leaders in the music industry..

  287. ICON January 20, 2011

    @RihannaForever

    Gurlllll. This is just damn riduclous. People are so gulliable. Sam and Trent serve the bait and they take it like a pack of wild animals. At least they could some class. LOL!

  288. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @RiCiBey
    He said that? This is why I love Drake. I also love the way Nicki is, though. Did you watch her George Lopez and Wendy Williams interviews? They were hilarious.

  289. ICON January 20, 2011

    *could have

  290. Reasonable Voice January 20, 2011

    @True Blue I know this is random and all, but what made you less spiteful towards Rihanna? I’m sure there’s a more appropriate connotation but I can’t think of it right now. I remember every Rihanna post you were calling her names like Riyodel or talking about how you think she lacks talent, etc, what made you stop?

    @rihannaforever Omg, gurl, i love your comments on here.

    @s*** You know just bcuz u stan for Beyonce doesnt mean u cant like other artists.

    @Peris aka Nicky chile, i have no words. They keep banning you and you just keep coming back.

  291. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ RiciBey:

    BET hasn’t been a decent network since AJ and Free left. Now it’s like a poor man’s MTV (if you can imagine that, cause MTV already sucks…)

    @ RF:

    Not to politicize things, but have you personally noticed the intolerance levels creeping up since Obama’s been elected?

    Oh, and I’m not too sure, but I think Gaga has referred to herself as a feminist on at least one occasion since that interview.

  292. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    @RF

    How is it even possible to bleach your skin? My color changes on the weather or what I’m wearing, I tend to be lighter wearing darker clothing or during Winter.

  293. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @Icon
    LOL, I know! My favorite thing is that Trent/Sam try to act so mature and intellectual on Twitter when they really only care about hits and stan wars for amusement. I use to feed into it, but these days, I only pay attention for entertainment or get involved when someone says something absolutely crazy.

  294. Saaaaay whaaaa January 20, 2011

    THIS!!!!!!

  295. the kiddz January 20, 2011

    @True Blue

    Gaga should just refrain from talking. This girl, I don’t even know what to say about her anymore.

    @RiciBey

    Lol. I heard about that. Too cute, but I don’t recall Pooh ever saying Ni***.

  296. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ Reasonable Voice:

    I still think Rihanna can’t sing, so I haven’t exactly been converted into a die-hard fan (although I’ve enjoyed her music since 2006), but it’s the ridiculousness of her stans that irritated me. So I kind of fought fire with fire, if you will, and yeah I’ll admit, that wasn’t mature of me. People like Rihanna Forever have a more reasonable view on Rihanna, and so therefore I’ve softened up on her since there was at least one Rihanna stan (at the time) that wasn’t delusional. And believe it or not, my initial run-ins with RF were anything but friendly at first. But we’ve smoothed things over, and now less animosity on this site.

    It’s the same way Justin Bieber has so many hardcore haters, at first I wondered myself why all the vitriol over a not-so-very-talented but harmless 16-year-old boy, then I found out how INSANE his stans are. Same with Taylor Swift. So bad stan behavior can make one dislike an artist more than they should.

  297. Saaaaay whaaaa January 20, 2011

    Beyonce stans use to make me hate Beyonce.

    I love her and just ignore the crazy stans, every time she perfumes I just fall back in love with her, I cannot wait for her new album!!!

    Rihanna stans are much nicer.

    I love these TWO women, only idiots would try to pin them against each other.

  298. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @RihannaForever

    No I didnt get to watch them. But Im sure they were great.

    @TrueBlue

    I believe the reson why AJ&Free were the better host because they were so down to earth and so real. When they announced they were leaving people were actaully sad and crying like they were losing someone close to them. Thats the type of affect they had…

  299. ICON January 20, 2011

    @RihannaForever

    Gurllll. I don’t have time for petty damn wars too like it like a waste of time.

    People honestly need a life if you want degrade yourself on here it’s up to you.

    I’m still in disbelief that iONE PIC of Rihanna can get 300+ comments. LOL!

  301. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @ReasonableVoice
    Thank you! I love your comments too; it’s great that this website has people who comment that aren’t completely insane, regardless of how entertaining THOSE people are.

    @TrueBlue
    I have, sadly. I like Obama, but it seems like people have a huge problem with a black president. Sometimes I wonder if it would’ve been less controversial and more acceptable with a female president. I wonder if there’s more racism or sexism in the US at current.

    When will we finally have presidents of all races, sexes, religions, and sexual orientation? A gay president would likely be MOST controversial, for whatever reason. I love when people state that religion and state should be seperated and then those same people say that gay marriage should be illegal as it doesn’t correspond with their religious beliefs.

    Maybe she learned the definition? Or maybe she did have a moment, I don’t know. At least she wasn’t phased by it.

    @TheKiddz
    Exactly. Even if they did, it wouldn’t be as drastic as some people say it is. The sun exposure you have also changes things. Even clothes. I have a deep yellow-type colored skin but I wear bright colors so I look whiter, in all honesty.

  302. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @TheKiddz

    Why did I get a vision in my head of Pooh saying that?..lol, too funny. 🙂

  303. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @Icon
    I know! I wonder if Trent and Sam think they’re actually getting hits for interesting reasons or if they know that we just have conversations about a ton of other subjects, LOL.

    @RiCiBey
    My thing with Nicki is that although she isn’t as articulate as say, Drake, she’s still fun and enjoyable to listen to.

  304. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    @RihannaForever

    Im not that much of a Nicki fan, but I appreciate her hustle, and happy that shes living her dreams..

  305. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @RiCiBey
    That’s true. I just truly appreciate artists who care about their music. I feel that every artist is great in their own right.

    Except for Taylor Swift. I simply cannot stand her…

  306. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ RF:

    This country’s been going CRAZY since his election! I knew there was gonna be a reaction of some sorts to a black man in the White House (I’m still in disbelief that we have a black president), but I did not expect the vitriol to reach these kinds of levels.

    Oh, and I love how people who claim they aren’t homophobic are also against gay marriage as well. I mean, what’s the problem? Straight marriage isn’t being taken away, and legalizing it would not require churches to perform gay weddings if they don’t want to. So what’s the problem?

    Oh, and I didn’t mind Taylor when she first came out, but I HATE, HATE , HATE how overrated she has become now. And if you say anything remotely negative about her music or “talent”, even when you’re nice about it, you get labeled a hater. Thanks a lot, Kanye…

  307. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 20, 2011

    @ RiCiBey:

    They had good reason to cry, I mean Terrence and Rocsi, really? They’re lame.

    Although I can’t hate on BET too much, it was how I was introduced to Janelle nearly 4 years ago.

  308. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    UGH…I just cant with Taylor. People always talk about her album sales and how she writes her own songs, but whats the use when your talking about the same thing?

    1.I love this guy, but he doesnt know it and I hope one day he does.
    2.This guy broke my heart, so Im crying crocodile tears.
    3.I had a relationship with you, so Im going to call you out in the song..

  312. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    @TrueBlue
    SO true. I’ve seen totally different sides of people since late 2008. I just wonder exactly what’s caused such a stir in everyone!

    Also, you’re totally right. I just want to say to some people that “gay marriage being legalized wouldn’t directly affect your damn church in Paradise, Montana!”. I mean it has no effect on them so I don’t see the problem.

    Also, I agree. The weird thing is that Taylor Swift bothers me to such an insane extent yet I adore Justin Bieber. Maybe it’s because his mannerisms (not his personality which at times, is arrogant) are similar to my little brother’s. DEAD at “thanks a lot, Kanye”, by the way.

    Whatever happened to Beyonce Owns Your Fav? They were so interesting.

  313. RiCiBey January 20, 2011

    Since she’s still in high school, schoolwork is probably the reason why she hasn’t visited TGJ as of late…

    … anyway, it’s extremely late for me, and although I can survive on just a few hours of sleep, I should be in bed by now. Good night. I also bid good night to RiCiBey, as well as everyone else I’ve talked to. It’s been another worthwhile conversation.

  315. RihannaForever January 20, 2011

    She is? I never knew…

    Yeah I gave her that Nick Name but kinda LIKE her. 🙂 I think she has a cute voice & some of her Country/Pop Music is kinda Cute too. & I find her to be an ACCEPTABLE Vocalist, I’ve seen much WORSE vocally from today’s Pop stars… 😐

    LOL @ MATT

    “NOT Even Remotely Similar to That Irrelevant Austin Powers Wannabe Single song From Bouncey!!! S&M>>>>Flop It Out”

    You have NO IDEA how many mistakes you made in just ONE sentence. Beyonce is FARRR from Irrelevant (I’d Say shes more relevant than some of these NEW B****** thats out right now) & shes been doing it for nearly 15 Years. WORK IT OUT is… EASILY better than EVERY video Rihanna has released from Rated R & Loud. & the Song SLAYS live too, Can Rihanna even ATTEMPT old School Funk? & make it sound likrelavant to the 80s & the 00s at the same time? & on top of that WORK IT OUT >>> Not only to S&M but EVERY SONG ON LOUD. & not to mention, AUSTIN POWERS has grossed $300 Million in the box office making it the Most Successful Comedy EVER. Bey has grossed over 600 Million in Film making her not only like the most successful Artist in film but also one of the most successful actors EVER.

    So thats like what 5 mistakes you made in one sentence?? 😆 #FAIL

    I’m a B stan but no this doesn’t remind me of WIO. And I’m surprised that – despite how obvious Sam’s attempt at inciting a stan war was – people still fell for it.

    KMT.

    Anyway, can’t wait for this video. I’m sure it’ll be hot.

  329. Beyoncé: The Queen of Pop & Soul January 20, 2011

    I am one of the first to tell anyone how Rihanna is influenced by Bey, but Sam brought out the bait and now you have WW 3 in this blog once again. BTW, I am feeling this look on Rihanna. I like her more with long hair than short hair. It fits her face better, IMO.

    Anyways, on the whole “swagger-jacking” debate. Bey don’t “get away” with it, there are numerous videos devoted to it. Some of it reaches hard, but they are there. Another thing, Bey will tell you where she gets her concepts from. People know that Work It Out(the song and video) was Tina Turner inspired. Here is video made to show that Bey gives credit for her inspirations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M43ChtLzarI

    As for Rihanna, she has gone on record many times saying that Bey is a big influence on her career. I don’t see why that’s a big deal to some of her fans. Bey and Rihanna aren’t competition nor peers. Bey’s peers are Alicia, Brandy, Christina, Britney, Monica, and artists who came out around the time that she did. Rihanna’s peers are Ciara, Jazmine Sullivan, Keyshia, Melonie, Jamelia and etc. And she is more successful than all of them really. You can debate the validity of why she’s successful but give her that much.

    this is gonna b a flop song it doesnt even get that much air play on the radio..she should of picked another song as a single

  331. Beyoncé: The Queen of Pop & Soul January 20, 2011

    Great posts on Janelle and the overall state of where music is today. I always wonder what would happen if Aretha, Diana, Patti, Janis, Joni Mitchell, Karen Carpenter(That’s who Florence from Florence and the Machine remind me of), Ronnie Spector from the Ronnettes, Chaka and etc were to debut in this era.

    I don’t think they would have been as appreciated as they are now because bloggers would try to pit all of them against each other and their stan bases would care more about who has sold the more and etc to truly enjoy their music. There are songs from artists I don’t like at all that I enjoy…for example, my fave song from C-Tina Aguilera is Hurt. I don’t use her as a live performer especially, but I love that song from her.

    Doesn’t remind me of Beys video. No one is original anymore anyways. Its all been done.

    But there she goes covering one eye again! Sure isnt helping those illuminati rumors. I really think they’re doing it on purpose now or they like the attention for it.

    Sam, 2011, and still need to talk smack about Rihanna to get hits on this site? I admire both Bey and Rih but this childish talk about copying styles is garbage. All musicians are influenced by their peers and other genres.
    If you want to know whose style Bey has ‘copied’, down to the all-girl band, go watch ‘Las Chicas Del Can’ videos especially the original group from back in the early 80s. The hairstyles, costumes, AND dance moves are all influenced by those girls. I guess she’s only channelling her mother’s foreparents from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
    Go look if you dare, learn something, and cut out the silly chatter!

    The hair has been done by Diana Ross and Tina Turner and this was way before Beyonce.
    Even Jenifer Lopez had it before Beyonce.

    Always hating on Rihanna.

  335. i’m a billy gaot January 20, 2011

    Oh my yet another cheap song/video from the sleazy one in the bad red wig! How predictable.

    THE HATE SPEWING FROM YOUR MOUTHS IS WAY TO MUCH TO FOR ME… ENTERTAINING, BUT WAY TO MUCH..LMAO!!!

  337. Lexington January 20, 2011

    I was hoping for something more burlesque for this song but we’ll see.
