Rihanna Wrecks Jay-Z ‘Run This Town’ Performance At Radio 1 Hackney Weekend

Published: Saturday 23rd Jun 2012 by Sam

Perhaps it was Beyonce in rear-view? That “green”? Or her all round wackness? Whatever the case, Rihanna was a mucky mess  during her surprise performance with Jay-Z at tonight’s Radio 1 Hackney Weekend.

Renown for her “rebellious” gimmick nature, the model stuck two fingers up at her vocal coach with a sluggish rendition of ‘Run This Town’. 

Video after the jump…

Trash.

While Ms. Fenty’s “I give approximately no f**ks” persona may wash with some, it’s the exact reason she remains a non-factor when measured up against her premium rivals (hello Beyonce and Lady GaGa). Yes, she may be a media-attributed force (and has admittedly cultivated a following of sorts as a result), yet the fact remains as clear as her lack of talent: we’re in the midst of a recession – people will only invest in you if you give them reason enough to.

Hence, if Ri wants to sell more than them $0.99 singles and actually shift $9.99 albums (‘Talk That Talk’ has yet to sell more than 900k domestically – seven months after release), she needs to start giving an “eff” and stop singing like she’s in a tumble dryer. For, should she not, she runs risk of spinning her career in the direction of the Paula Abdul‘s of the world – scorching hot for a “period in time” and remembered for approximately nothing more.

        Blast From her pass
        Rihanna’s early life is one that was both literally and figuratively miles removed from the world she now inhabits. She was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988 in the parish of Saint Michael, Barbados. Despite being close to the capital city of Bridgetown, as a young girl she had no reason to expect that the music world would come calling. It was only a happenstance meeting that led to her eventual signing with one of the most influential men in hip hop, the somewhat retired Jay-Z. Up until that point, she was most famous for being her high school’s beauty pageant winner (she sang Mariah Carey’s “Hero” to win the contest).

        But as Rihanna herself says, “I’ve always been passionate about music.” Perhaps that’s all it took. Her ability to fuse reggae vocals with hip hop and R&B made her very appealing to Jay-Z and his label Def Jam. And Jay’s tutelage seems particularly important when it comes to her image. In short, like him, she seems in control. The album’s cover showed her confident and mature. Like most girls her age, regardless of their life station, Rihanna is confronting how to play her sexuality as she matures.

        In the past, performers such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera (or Xtina as she was known at that time) opted for coming-out parties about as subtle as a hammer to the head. In the case of “S**** 4 U” or “Dirrty,” the singles were headlong charges into a world of adult playtime that ultimately swallowed each singer whole. Writhing and breathless, they lacked the very thing they tried so hard to cultivate—a s*** spark.

        When the video for “Umbrella” premiered, we were confronted with sequences of a naked Rihanna covered in silver body paint. The image is no doubt provocative, but it is less sexual than artful. Paired with the song’s message of steadfast friendship, the lasting impression is an iron strength—mature and feminine, but not tasteless.

        This narrow line is one that Rihanna hopes to be able to walk for some time to come. She’s no enigma, but she does deviate just enough from the 21st century-pop star-overexposed-norm to give you hope that her brightest days remain ahead of her. And that’s no small miracle.

  5. kelly June 23, 2012

    LOL LOL you haters. Rih was only on stage for a few minutes and her presence ALONE killed it. The combination of her Jay sent the crowd wild – i know…..I WAS THERE. Rih did not even need to perform, but she did ….and KILLED IT!

    She was glowing, hot, s***, Tall, leggy and styeled up.

    Rita ora done a few wack songs, and the crowd her not even hyped – I watched the whole thing on B**. Most people were not paying attention, hence why she had to try soo soo hard. Rita cannot even sing, leona lewis murdered Rita Vocally, Leona was there too, and she hit all kinds of high notes. Leona is the best vocalist from England.

    Rita, cannot sing, cannot dance ,and looks 35 – even 28 Leona looks young, glowy and fresh. She barely has makeup on. Leona was so effortlessly and calm.

    • Sleazy June 23, 2012

      You just said Rita ora looks Old and cannot sing and said Rihanna killed Do you guys see the delusion? Omg I’m nt even a big fab of rita but the b**** sings riri into a corner

      • kelly June 23, 2012

        Rita Ora does LOOK OLD. She is 21, but she looks older. Ashanti ( 30 ), C Millian 30 AND Leona Lewis 28 look younger than Rita. Rihann looks younger too.

        Rita cannot sing. To me, Teena Marrie is the great white vocalist. Leona is by far the best vocalist from England. Rita cannot even hit high notes, she has no range and relies on that raspy alteration of wack songs.

        I feel even Jessie J is a better singer.

        Leona Lewis sings Rita ora into a corner back in Kosovo. Riri is not a vocalist, compare Rita to leona…..if you dare….you know leona murder Rita vocally.

    • Stephen June 24, 2012

      So, in your opinion, only high notes matter when it comes to singing?

  6. Girrrl June 23, 2012

    You are making fun of Rih for selling 900k when your fave Kelly Flopland has not sold 300k worldwide a year after release! Hilarious! What ever happened to a post about Alexandra Burke flopping?

    • kelly June 23, 2012

      TTT has sold 16 globally.

    • i’m not throwing shade, but… June 24, 2012

      The Alexandra jabs are tired. She has had no support from the media outlets whatsoever. Also, Alex is local, Rhianna is international and should be doing much better than she is now, the same with Kelly.

      • Girrrl June 24, 2012

        It’s not old because Sam won’t address it! Sam always ignores the flops of his faves but tries to blast Rihanna even though her album is selling.

        Also this performance was not bad! (that’s to TGJ not you)

  7. whatever June 23, 2012

Typical classic case of a BIASED QUEEN. how the f*** u gonna criticize her vocals when you can’t hear them in the first place ?!! how ? is that even professional @SAM ?! 😯

    Rihanna does not need big vocals. She has Charisma. Her charisma alone for 3 mins ROCKED IT. I was there – people went nutso. That is why she is one of the biggest selling singers in history. Sold even more than Beyonce in just 7 years.

    I am waiting for Rita Ora’s albums sales to come in……………….

    • ohreally June 24, 2012

      She sold more what than Beyonce? Not albums! but you do realize that RiRi has more albums out than bey right? oh ok….And please learn the difference between Charisma and stage props with excellent creative directors. This chick gives you nothing on stage but a tap at her puss

      • Lax June 28, 2012

        @OHREALLY,,,At the end of the day she do not have to sale as much as beyonce sales, because remember Beyonce has been in the game as many years as Rihanna is old and even though Rihanna might not can match Beyonce’s sales she sure in the HELL IS compared to beyonce more than any of the artist out right now, that says a lot as to where Rihanna has traveled on her way to the Phucking Top, Son!!

  17. Elisabeth June 23, 2012

  20. BEYONCE’S WEAVE June 23, 2012

    What are you talking about, she sounded fantastic. She got the crowd involved and they loved it. It is this ghetto ass website run by bottoms which needs to up its game by not posting videos recorded using a crappy $0 with a 3yr contract Android phone with a 2MP camera. Seriously you need to up your game if you want to garner more hits beyond posting shade about Rihanna.

    Jay-Z respects Rihanna’s swag and that is why he overlooked his wifey when he told Rita Flopa that he wants her to be as successful as Rihanna (and not Beyonce with her 4closure). This is why Jay-Z even invited her to perform with him. Notice he didn’t invite his FLOP of a wife to perform Bonnie and Clyde, nope he invited Rihanna to perform Run this town because he knows just how much more relevant she is than Wifey.

    Lets even compare the performance, Jay-Z and Beyonce Bonnie and Clyde

    US Singles #4
    UK Singles #2
    US Rap #2

    Jay-Z and Rihanna Run this town

    US Singles #2
    UK Singles #1
    US Rap #1

    That just proves it, Rihanna is an assured chart hit maker than Wifey who is hanging by the thread of her weave to save her career. She is even going as far as hanging out with a bigger celebrity than her Kim Kar-trash-ian.

      Please sit your ass down! You do realize Rihanna is not as nor more successful than Beyonce, success is more than single sales. So by him making that comment it was no cut at Beyonce. He wants another cash cow other than Rihanna. And please that reach was so tired comparing the two songs you act like the gap was huge between the two songs.

      P.S Bey not relevant? lol Reference Revel. So she is supporting her husband and their friend who happens to be dating Kim and now she is hanging with her to stay relevant? lol you children are too much. Worry about why RiRi is pulling all of these outrageous tactics to stay relevant.

      • dezi June 24, 2012

And she is more SUCCESSFUL than beyonce .. Rihanna has accomplished way more than what beyonce accomplished at 24 so just imagine all the more she’s going to accomplish. Get over it and stop hating on other artist that’s doing better than beyonce …Cause at this point beyonce is using a REALITY STAR .. kim kardashian for relevancy ..

    A true Rihanna fan must know that from the end of the “Rated R” Era and after, her voice is gettin every day worse… is obvious she has a problem, with breathing.. may too marijuana Rih?

    Please stop making excuses for the b****. She can’t sing, case closed.

    I will give her team credit for choosing great singles off her. I would like to thank Ester Dean for practically writing her whole catalogue.

    • kelly June 23, 2012

      LOL LOL Charisma is the deciding facto between talent and STAR QUALITY. Some of the most talented actors and singers work at Starbucks. Why? No star quality…XFACTOR etc. Rih can sing, she has an west insian twang to her sound. Christina milian cannot sing.

    Nah, Rihanna doesn’t need to start giving an eff.

    It’s been 7 years and 7 albums with an 8th year and an 8th album coming up.

    Rihanna is just going to become her label’s easy money maker. They’ll put less money and effort into her and be happy with whatever change she brings in and whatever dummies still pay for her to give them basically nothing.

    Of all her peers Rihanna is now doing the worst. Rihanna can just have her Cassie moments. Suck d****, smoke weed, make terrible music…it’s all cool. The rest of the media buying world outside her fans is bored with her s***. Eventually she’ll burn out completely.

        Rihanna has now past Emimem…but makes LP’s in his OWN time. He would never do an album a year. His first LPS came out and done 20 each

    • Stephen June 24, 2012

      Even though sales don’t always mean talent, Rihanna has naturally outsold Beyonce cuz Rihanna has released 6 albums and Beyonce has released only 4. Plus Rihanna has released more singles than Beyonce, and when it comes to singles nowadays, Only Katy Perry can compete with Rihanna on the Hot 100

    how to try and Puck up a man’s evening.
    Now you already know that Rih ain’t no belter and we who supports her know what kind of a entertainer she is, soooooo whats the big deal rihanna haters? Okay less say for argument sakes we all know that Rihann isn’t beyonce, jennifer, mariah, jennifer, kelly maryj, arehte, monica, brandy shes RIHANNA and shes rih all by her self and people love her for who she is and not How hard she Pops Her P**** and Hollowers to the top of hedr voice. She made a showing and people wasn’t worried about how hard she singed they was just happy that she was there and so was she and her navy from the Uk.

    If they had wanted some harder singing they had BEYONCE in the house, Bytches and thats a whole lot of “Shaking going on with bey, rih, rita, west, and jay all in the house, Bytches.
    Rihanna did enough she wil, show up and show out tomorrow and if you think that she might not then send E-MAILS to “That Grape Juice Blog” and ask them to

    It’s just funny how TGJ can point out Rihanna’s husky sounding voice in this performance but couldn’t see that in Rita’s awful rendition of “We Found Love.” I don’t get it………And I DO NOT stand for Rihanna or think this was good by any means but TGJ is on some bias sh*t, supporting talent with no talent OR accomplishments (ones people really care about so don’t try it with the bs) i.e. Rita but bash others who have achieved something even with no talent…

  39. NATURALBEAUTY June 23, 2012

    Why is Beyonce being brought up? Don’t bring up sales to try & justify Rihanna’s lack of talent. The Navy shall NEVER compare talent when it comes to Beyonce & Rihanna, y’all know better. But in all honesty, she didn’t do as bad as I was expecting. It was okay.

    we know she’s not a great live “singer”. sounds “bad” most of the time. tho she had better days. she’s really not a pop/r’n’b force voice anymore. i mean… jay-z rapping his verse and it sounds good. rockstarz scream lyrics into the mic and sound good.

    she might wanna change her music or “style” and do some else. 😀

Maybe you clowns who put the cotton in them ears and just looked at her. I think that’s what it is y’all look and put plugs in your ears and then come on blogs and defend this mess continually.. Start focusing on some real talent (RO).

    • Stephen June 24, 2012

      Ehm. Since 2005. Rihanna was never marketed based on VOCAL ABILITY, so why do people always criticise her singing? Toneswise, she has beat her actual rivals, Lady GaGa, Katy Perry. Beyonce is NOT really a rival of Rihanna, becuz she isn’t a current IT girl. Beyonce’s IT girl status was back in 2003-2004, while Rihanna’s IT girl status was from 2007 to date.

      • ohreally June 24, 2012

        Have you seen your current “IT” girl’s album sales? And how could Bey’s status end in 2004 when she had Bday 2006 and I…am 2009?

      • Richnblack11(Beyonce keep em mad) June 24, 2012

        She is a suppose to be singer right, so therefore she should have VOCAL ABILITY……RIHANNA THE IT GIRIL, GIRL/BOY/IT STOP

      • Stephen June 24, 2012

        My point is that Beyonce was dominating the albums,singles and radio charts from 2003-2004. Rihanna has been dominating such charts steadily since 2006. So, Rihanna in her solo career has more longevity in those “chart” areas than Beyonce

      • ohreally June 24, 2012

        2003-2004? You still don’t understand Bday was 2006, I..am was 2009, did you forget about Irreplaceable and single ladies? The Grammy’s night record of 6 wins? Please sit with longevity. This girl has what 12 number 1’s and beyonce with only 5 is only trailing a few weeks. Do you know what longevity is???

  50. Benron June 23, 2012

    @Beyonce Weave
    Please sit your ass down! You do realize Rihanna is not as nor more successful than Beyonce, success is more than single sales. So by him making that comment it was no cut at Beyonce. He wants another cash cow other than Rihanna. And please that reach was so tired comparing the two songs you act like the gap was huge between the two songs.

    P.S Bey not relevant? lol Reference Revel. So she is supporting her husband and their friend who happens to be dating Kim and now she is hanging with her to stay relevant? lol you children are too much. Worry about why RiRi is pulling all of these outrageous tactics to stay relevant.

  55. ohreally June 24, 2012

    Can someone please tell me in what world and universe has Rihanna sold more albums than Beyonce? The Navy needs to come from out of Narnia. Ri -MOTS 1.2mil, AGLM 2.5mil, GGGB 8mil, RR 2.5mil, Loud 5.6mil, TTT 2.7mil=22.5 million albums to Bey DIL 11, Bday 7.5, I…Am 8mil, 4 2.6mil= 29 million albums WW. Lets not forget Rihanna is on album 6 to beyonce’s 4 and sounds like 7 will be here by November.

    As far as performances are concerned lol Revel alone slays anything Rihanna has ever done 10xs over.

    • KATERINE June 24, 2012

      H** HUSH!!!!
      Music of the Sun – its sales are between 1.5-2 million – Pon de Replay was my jam.
      A Girl Like Me has sold around 3.5-4 million (I don’t know why people call this album a flop when it did good) Unfaithful was epic, so were SOS/Break It Off. Unfaithful had so much influence.
      Good Girl Gone Bad has had sales between 8.5-9 million – This album was her most successful one, it produced so many epic songs – Umbrella (maybe WFL had better sales, but this song is gonna be her most important and memorable song), Don’t Stop The Music, Take a Bow, Disturbia – all these songs made a huge impact on pop culture, but my favourite one was Rehab.
      Loud has sold above 6 million, and it’s still selling in UK – Even though it was a successful era, I didn’t like it so much. California King Bed and Man Down were flops, but they will be more memorable than Only Girl/What’s My Name/Cheers.
      Rated R has sold around 3.5 million – Her best work so far, Fire Bomb is one of her best songs, Te Amo was so dope as well. Russian Roulette was hated at first, but then became so popular and now many people like that song. Rude Boy had a nice beat xD
      Talk That Talk – it’s close to 3 million and it’s still selling, something that 4closure can’t do. We Found Love is epic, other singles are not that good.
      Rihanna’s songs are better than Beyonce’s that’s the fact. I don’t know why people call Single Ladies a masterpiece when that song flopped so hard outside of the USA. It didn’t reach top 10 :S The video was s*** and the song is trash. Halo was the best song of IASF.

      • ohreally June 24, 2012

        And this is where i ask for receipts? you are a damn lie. AGLM is no near 3.4-4mil, nor is loud over 6 mill. but even still with 25 million your numbers Beyonce is at 29million. When did 25 become more than 29?

        P.S i said Albums! ppl not singles.

    • Stephen June 24, 2012

      Rihanna has sold more albums and singles than Beyonce worldwide, no need denying that fact, at least nobody ever claimed that Rihanna could touch Beyonce in terms of live vocal performances

    Jay not comparing rita to beyonce is because he doesn’t want anyone to replace his wife.He confirmed it last night by raping I
    I GOT THE HOTEST CHICK IN THE GAME WEARING MY CHAIN.Secondly at revel he tweeted that beyonce was the best performer in the world.Now of all the time he has performed with riri has he ever spoken of her in such glowing terms?Hence he wants Rita to replace riri cos for him(jayz) BEYONCE cannot be REPLACED.

  60. slim s*** June 24, 2012

    How can you say beyonce is irrelevant when even with beyonce not on stage the B** cameras were zooming in on her dancing.secondly even with riri on stage people on twitter went wild anticipating a Bey performance.the fact that you are not a fan of Beyonce doesn,t make her irrelevant.The mere fact that haters are commenting on her after 15 years in the game makes her relevant,cos if she is not relevant haters would have just ignored her and not compare her to every artst under the sun.

  61. Beyonce June 24, 2012

      And Rih on her own without the help of talented singers ( the other girls in DC were better singers ) sold 85 m in 7 years.

      You are counting DC sales – that was not just beyonce. That included the talents of Latavia, Letoya, Michelle and Kelly Rowland. They matter too!

  63. LORD June 24, 2012

    @BEYONCE WEAVE

    “Bonnie & Clyde ’03” was SEVEN YEARS older than “Run This Town”, and was in competition with totally different songs. How are you comparing them?

    Plus, “Run” was nowhere on the 2009/2010 year-end Hot100 chart. Sometimes, being the Greatest Gainer of the week is as bad as being the Biggest Faller!

    While “Bonnie” was the 37th best-selling song of its year.

    So, Enjoy your seat! You and WHOEVER jumped his f** ass up like “THIS!! THIS!!”

  64. beyfan June 24, 2012

    Most Rihanna fans are just so annoying.. Where in the world is someone comparing Beyonce to Rihanna.. Isn’t that an insult to Beyonce… Am yet to see what Rihanna has done that would be remembered in 50 years time, her songs are not timeless, no historical achievements except u want to bring up youtube, facebook and singles which would just fade with time cos those things fade… In a million years Beyonce would still be remembered as a #1 female artist of a particular decade, the most certified artist of a particular decade, one of the greatest singers and performers that has ever lived, she has songs that are gonna stand the test of time, Listen is now one of the most covered songs in talent competitions world over.. Songs like Halo, Crazy in Love, Listen etc are timeless and evergreen… Bey is in almost all the lists of “Greatest Artists of All time”. Which is a list the next 100 generations are gonna look at and read about. So plz don’t even bring Riri near Bey, if she likes let her even outsell Michael Jackson, fact still remains that she would never be in a list where they are mentioned.. Deal with it

    Sam, listen to the crowd. They love her. She wasn’t bad.

  66. aishaaguilerakeys June 24, 2012

    So far, Riri has had a bigger and longer career than Paula, and it doesn’t look like that’s about to stop. J makes sure of that.

  67. BONE June 24, 2012

    Ya’ll are dumb. She didn’t do bad. There are things that come into play besides the singing itself, but that’s no excuse, she didn’t do bad. People need to shut up on here being so confident in their opinions, but haven’t had any experience in the least trying to understand every thing about a situation. There’s much more to a music career than obviously being on a stage flawlessly every single time… get your life together.

    Just face it, Rihanna’s star does not shine like her stans truly wish it would cause if we were to go by their stats she would have sold 25mil of this TTT and them others each. The truth is mixed in with the writing on the wall. Her one liner movie, her many #1s (Rihanna navy going broke) would have well surpassed billions my now! Her clothing line that is selling off the rack (wink), the perfume that has sold and won how many awards (another wink). What she is is a pretty face who to this day cant dance, sing, carry a note but can grab her self. She will come out today with a lot of backtracking ( no wink), hollaring HACKNEY a billion times and walking around and letting the audience do most the of the singing and she will help them out. Rihanna is TECHNOLOGY nothing more. If she tries to dance to that one song, it will be a done deal. Never put Beyonce and Rihanna in the same sentence cause Beyonce will dance, sing and show how a tune and notes work together when dancing and anything else… Rihanna’s new name is TECHNOLOGY cause that’s what y’all base her talent on! Studio enhanced chick!!! Rita Ora slammed go watch that!!!

      Y’all need to realise that achieving success in the music industry doesn’t always have to do with TALENT.

      • acem June 24, 2012

        @STEPHEN

        So you admit that Rihanna is a talentless HACK, who is only where she is today because of OTHER people behind the scenes puppet mastering a situation for her to fit into.

        I been saying that for years.

        Thanks.

        Soon as the next puppet comes along, it’s adios to the illegitimate Barbadian, who sounds like a dying cow in and out of the recording studio.

    No matter how you try to make her sound bad and dah, dah, dah she still is the talk around the town by just her persent there and that bothers many of you badder then how she sounded. Besides that let me see any of you even get invited to be on stage with Jay you know that is a His-To-Rih just being on a stage with the likes of Jayz, Beyonce’s husband the Mogul.

  87. Lax June 24, 2012

    A Blast from her pass:
    Whoever said that youth is wasted on the young never met Rihanna. With two platinum albums to her credit and a new one likely headed in the same direction, this girl’s made her mark on the music industry. Having a multimedia mogul like Jay-Z as her musical surrogate uncle has definitely been an advantage in an era where pop stars are cultivated and discarded like hothouse flowers—they’re nurtured, clipped at first bloom, made into an eye-catching centrepiece, and then pitched at the first sign of decay. But Rihanna’s right on track. And she’s only 19.

    While preening contemporaries search for movie roles, reality shows, or just plain “forget” to get fully dressed before a red carpet event, Rihanna’s approach is more honest and pragmatic. And that’s a welcome relief in our fame-obsessed times. Sure, she is a spokesperson for CoverGirl and has made ads for Nike, not to mention that she hardly plays down her striking looks. Ultimately though, Rihanna makes music. She works hard. So when she describes herself as an “artist,” it is easy to see her as just that—a talented young singer who never seems to rest. (Her least favourite part of the music business? “Never getting a vacation,” she laughs.)

    This summer saw the release of her third album in three years, Good Girl Gone Bad. “I finally feel like I made an album that really reflects me,” she says. The record certainly represents a change for her, but not one that is nearly as drastic as the title might suggest. Rihanna is aiming for free-spirited rather than reckless abandon. “It’s not Good Girl Gone Wild,” she stressed while speaking at KIIS FM in LA. “It’s kinda rebellious. I don’t want to follow the same lane and do what people expect me to do.”

    And expectations were certainly high after 2006’s “SOS” was one of a small crop of singles to dominate the clubs last year. Paired with the bleep-bloop pop of Soft Cell’s well-loved 80’s anthem “Tainted Love,” “SOS” was the rare pseudo-remake that didn’t just piggyback lazily on the laurels of its tested backing track. Fun and thrilling of its own accord, it was a tough act to follow.

    The happy news is that Rihanna’s next single, “Umbrella,” was even better. Driven by a lock-step hi-hat beat and a hypnotically ping-ponging chorus, the tune actually trumped “SOS,” its idiosyncratic “um-brella- ella-ella-eh-eh-eh” ricocheting across your mind like an errant dancehall tennis ball.

    Her new album made great use of studio heavyweights such as Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, and the master of beat construction and production, Timbaland. It is a credit to her talent that, even though she’s surrounded by all these dominant musical personalities, listening to her sing “Umbrella” immediately reminds you of Rihanna’s home—Barbados.

    LAX how much do you get paid to defend rihanna?? This post has over 100+ comments because of your 100 essays and s***. You really need to do something with your life. Cause your wasting it on someone who doesn’t even know you exist. And of course Rihanna has more singles and what not. Did you forget she has put out more things than beyonce. I like both Rihanna and beyonce but of course I like beyonce more. But, you won’t see me on this comment board defending her like it’s my last breath. Sweetie you need to start living your life. And @pop royalty you claim you couldn’t hear her sing yet your agreeing to ever comment about her sounding good. And this isnt dobe by an android phone cant you see it b**’s camera…Anywho, you people should really check out that starburst “boring” commercial. It will lighten the mode lol.

I don’t see a reason not to dislike her or Rihanna. I don’t know them personally. I just like the music they put out. You are one of the most pressed male/females EVER! And just because it’s a blog doesn’t mean your write over 100+ essays saying the same thing OVER AND OVER!!

He wants another cash cow other than Rihanna. And please that reach was so tired comparing the two songs you act like the gap was huge between the two songs.

    Jay and the Roc…….
    Jay-Z showered Solange Knowles with birthday surprises in the early hours of Sunday morning (24.06.12).
    The ’99 Problems’ hitmaker had been celebrating his headline set at the B** Radio 1 Hackney Weekend music event backstage on Saturday (23.06.12) with friends and family including Solange, his wife Beyonce Knowles, Rihanna and M.I.A. but he made sure his sister-in-law’s special day didn’t go unnoticed as soon as the clock struck midnight.
    He presented her with cake and champagne and led a chorus of ‘Happy Birthday’, much to Solange’s shock.
    A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ”It was really sweet. Solange hadn’t even noticed that it had turned 12am when Jay got everybody singing together. She was really touched.”
    Earlier in the day, Solange and her sibling Beyonce had enjoyed a relaxing day at the festival before watching Jay-Z take to the stage.
    Alongside a picture of herself and her sister with beaming smiles, Solange tweeted: ”We. Are. Family.”
    The birthday celebrations will have come as light relief following an incident earlier in the evening when Jay-Z’s bodyguards were allegedly involved in a ”ruckus” at B** Radio 1’s Hackney Weekend after someone insulted Beyonce.
    The rapper’s entourage reportedly ”piled in” on a man after he upset the rapper’s wife backstage at the London music event.

I see you dig the girl we all do but it’s such a pity that you try to exaggerrate her suppossed “talent” by throwing every dirty shoe out of your closet and at rihanna,if you gonna obsess over rita,then obsess over HERSELF,HER ART,MUSIC not over bashing rihanna,it’s b*#!:s like this who will release one successful album and die out,because their careers are based on bashing other ESTABLISHED artists.
