Rita is a reasonable singer, not a great one by any stretch of the imagination. RIP is only okay, its not crap but its not wonderful either. This performance is okay, just like Rihanna's performance of Redemption Song at the Time 100 gala (listen to it, she was pretty good). I do not know why TGJ are enthusing over this fairly basic acoustic performance, oh wait, it couldn't be because they are touting this girl to replace Rihanna? Please, have several seats, she has a very LONG way to go before getting even close to Rihanna ;o)
