Watch: Rihanna Embarrasses Herself At Radio 1 Hackney Weekend

Published: Sunday 24th Jun 2012 by David

In case you were in doubt of just how talented Rihanna really is, look no further than her set at Radio 1’s Hackney Weekend.

Possibly nervous with a certain Beyonce watching her from the audience, the show saw Ol’ Riri hit many a bum note, much to the discomfort of many a trained ear and her… her microphone.

A microphone, we’re sure could have done without being screamed into for an hour or so.

Watch her in action- at your own risk- below…

To be updated with more performances.

Our two cents:

If we’re going to be honest, it seems Riri would be more at home ‘raving it up’ with her fans than ‘performing for them’.

For, if not the skill of her dancers and the talent of her backing vocals, this would have been impossible to watch, especially when  Beyonce‘s mind blowing ‘Glastonbury’ showing is still fresh in many a memory.

Yes, while it’s far from us to compare the two, it’s clear their ‘ROC’ affiliation has done nothing to spur Rihanna to follow in Bey’s footsteps- on a showmanship front.

Perhaps, if she spent less time whipping up new LPs and more time in the rehearsals, the status of her talent wouldn’t be up for date seven years into her career.

So, until she finds a way to sing without rupturing our ear drums, we’ll keep the below on repeat:

Your thoughts?

      Is this supposed to make it better? A few good performances from years ago? Cause that’s what being a singer’s about, getting worst?

    • glum June 25, 2012

      Oh and yeah, they’re pitchy here and there too.

  1. Craig June 24, 2012

    That grape juice, you need to LEAVEEEE IT YEAHHH!

    • Oh Baby(B****** Will Deal) June 24, 2012

      hmmm,the first 3 songs she actually didn’t sound half as bad as i expected her to so kudos…however,she should just STOP singing love the way you lie because the song is simply too over-powering for her vocal ability :/ sorry.

    • 80sBaby June 25, 2012

      I had to wait and watch the videos before commenting. Once again TGJ is exagerrating for hits/comments. I enjoyed her performance! I think everyone should stop commenting on these Rihanna bashing posts so this site can find something better to do with their time. I’m this close to finding another website to get my Kelly fix.

  2. Aaron June 24, 2012

    You’re the only twat who is slamming her. You’re very jealous.

  3. MJ Lover June 24, 2012

    at least she is not on cocaine. (If she would be on cocaine she would be actually hyped up lol)
    But she is defenitly either on that kush or drunk. It seems like when she is doing festivals she’s always drunk or high on kush *rolls eyes*

    I’m pretty sure Jay or Bey will get her toghether sooner or later.

    • James227 June 24, 2012

      Yes you can see Rihanna is on something her eyes tells it all. I see another Amy Winehouse appearing right in front of our eyes.

      • mob June 25, 2012

        LOL, DAMN! I don’t like her but I would not like to see the chick go that way! Perhaps they will finally sit her the hell down and get her the help she obviously needs. I doubt it though! The way the music industry is currently structured if you don’t keep it moving THEY WILL REPLACE YOU WITH THE NEXT BEST THING!!

  5. MJ Lover June 24, 2012

    Eventhough I have to admit that you are being pretty harsh on the girl. You are overdoing it ,sam.

    • Lax June 25, 2012

      Sam has to remind people that beyonce did “GLASTOBURY” and even after that and beyonce supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread in the world her album performances and sales still did in no way reflect her greatness. Even after having one of the best alvums ever her sales was still Lack Luster, where as Rihanna is a Youngin under BEYONCE and yet she head lined the show this morning or last night which ever…
      @Sam no matter how you claw and paw yorway to try and make her performances all be bad its okay and no one is going to fight you on the fact that rihanna do not sound at all like beyonce, kelly or rita or willow or any of the other AMERICAN girls you seem to always pit RIHANNA AGANIST RIHANNA IS PERFORMING ON “THE WORLD STAGES” AND THERES NOTHING YOU CAN DO BUT SAY HOW TALENTLESS SHE IS YOU OR LOOKING LIKE BAD, BAD BLACK SHEEP, AND BITTER AS ALL GET OUT!!!!!!!
      KEEP ENPOWERING RIHANNA AND HER MASSIVE NAVY WHO HAPPENS TO BE RIGHT HERE IN YO BELOVED LONDON TOWN SAMANTAN,,,AND I DO LOVE YOU SAMANTHA YOU HELP TO KEEP THINGS IN PLACE FOR RIHANNA AND HER NAVY THAT IS GETTING EVEN STRONGER AS I PECK AWAY TO/AT YOU AND RIHANNA’S MANY HATERS, WHO OR PISSY, BITTER AND BUSTED BECAUSE SOMEHOW RIHANNA CAN STILL GET TOP BILLINGS, SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!RIHANNA IS SHOWING ALL OF YOU WHAT ICONS AND LEGENDS OR MADE OF RIGHT HERE…..

      • Really, UGH! June 25, 2012

        When has Rihanna EVER had album sales like Beyonce. Please don’t do it. You can have every one of your singles go number 1 but if your album ain’t selling, those singles don’t mean S**t!!! And that’s real talk. She has yet to produce and a number album. So please don’t even put that chick in the same lane, (or even sentence) with Bey.

      • Christina April 28, 2014

        LMAO! This b**** just started yelling mid comment. I can’t. HAHAHA! Crazy, bipolar s***. Exhibit A, ladies & gentlemen. A classic Navy member. Maniacal.

    • FOLLOW ME @gdboyratedloud June 25, 2012

      @really Rih has passed beyonce in album sales so lets not…..

      ttt has outsold 4 as well

  6. Mike June 24, 2012

    She looks like a d***.

    Leona Lewis had more stage presence yesterday than she did. Hell so did Lana Del Rey.

    • BLACK MADONNA June 24, 2012

      Grow up..

    • Lax June 25, 2012

      @MIKE,,,,That means she will never have to put that hottness on your F** ASS!

  7. Roman June 24, 2012

    Its ppl like u (the media) who drive artists to drugs and alcohol abuse. Sam would have the balls to go on stage and perform (well I’m sure he doesn’t have any to begin with)

    Although the blame is on Rihanna for shoving a potential 10 yr career into 7 years, she has accomplished more and managed to stay more relevant for longer than many of the 1 hit wonders u stan for. So when is Rihta Orangatang gets 11 US #1s in 6 yrs. Then comment baby ok 🙂

    • g June 24, 2012

      Co-Sign i support no form of media bashing towards artist from blogs and sh!t,it,s the same thing people over nicoles b/tches and others, is doing to nicki minaj.

    • Really, UGH! June 25, 2012

      NO! He is right! People pay money to see this girl and you offer up some half-a$$ performance. People like me and you, pay our hard earned money to see these people. And you telling me that she couldn’t take more effort to train her voice that WE the people are paying to hear. Screw that! If the Gaga’s and Beyonce’s of the world can do it, so can she.

  8. likane June 24, 2012

    well I must say I must apologize to my tan I had not seen the video quality I look at a site of his fans and rihanna with the comment that he was posting I really thought it was great
    so what I see the she spends her time to walk leaves the parties in the most difficult of singer rihanna short what I withdrawn my queen lol I was so angry when I saw the Beyonce sitting down
    it must stop supporting the protection of his married to care for her career

    • I’m not throwing shade, but June 24, 2012

      Pardon?

      • Really, UGH! June 25, 2012

        RIGHT! Because the comment barely made sense

      Lmao! Phucking brilliant!

  9. bob June 24, 2012

    I don’t even really like rihanna but you’re really really doing the most smh…

  10. Honestly Speaking June 24, 2012

    She actually didn’t sound as off key as usual during this performance therefore this post is the definition of reaching. Rihanna has the potential to be a very competent vocalist and hopefully she will work on that soon. However there certainly isn’t an overwhelming need to bash the girl with every performance. People should know what to expect from a Rihanna performance by now.

    • Really, UGH! June 25, 2012

      I’m sorry, but work on that “soon”…WHEN?? She’s been in the game SEVEN YEARS!! This isn’t her first go-round.

    • Genesis April 28, 2014

      HA…”she’ll work on that soon”. So you’re telling me all these f****** millions shed on this chick and she STILL hasn’t “worked on that soon”? If I ever heard that from anyone in her camp, I’d never acknowledge her ever again.

  11. Adam June 24, 2012

    If only she were more like Rito Ora…that’s what TGJ wants everyone to think right?

    This is a b**** site, so much hate and jealousy. It’s not called “being real” the opinions of the site are manufactured to propagate the owner’s own agenda. It’s not cool.

    Misogynistic to the T, want all their female performers to be a certain way. It doesn’t matter if Chris Brown is a psychotic jackass, he deserves FULL unwavering support because he can what, dance? Meanwhile Rihanna is constantly the victim of an all out movement because the owner doesn’t like the TONE of her voice? This site absolutely disgusts me.

    • Honestly Speaking June 24, 2012

      Co-sign. Everyone knows that this site hates every other successful female artist outside of Beyonce (whom Rihanna has matched and or accomplished more than professionally at this point). This site is not only biased but unprofessional. ThatRihannaJuice.net needs to get it together. *sips tea*

      • StTrendz June 24, 2012

        I agree with you both!!!!! This site is lame!!

      • Ashley June 24, 2012

        I only come on this site to read the comments, I find them quite amusing.

      • ALONZO June 24, 2012

        Don’t compare rithard to beyonce

      • Ashley June 24, 2012

        I did the math and Beyonce has more worldwide album sales than Rihanna, I think I did the math right, those sales don’t include singles.

      • ashleeee June 25, 2012

        UHM WHEN RIHANNA HAS 16 GRAMMIES, 4 CONSECUTIVE #1 ALBUMS, AN ASCAP AWARD, HER OWN CLOTHING LINE, A NUMBER 1 FRAGRANCE & 2 OTHER FRAGRANCES AS WELL, HAS PERFORMED WITH TINA TURNER, PRINCE, STEVIE WONDER, HAS PERFORMED FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA, HAS DONE VEGAS, & GLASTOBURY THEN SHE CAN BE COMPARED TO BEYONCE. UNTIL THEN YOU ARE REACHING. NO MATTER HOW MANY 1 ONE SINGLES SHE HAS SHE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO HOLD A LIGHTBULB TO BEYONCE.

      • Genesis April 28, 2014

        I love how everyone likes counting numbers instead of the measure of talent. It makes no sense. What matters more to people? Numbers. Rihanna is pretty to look at and fun to watch. She has CRAZY awesome producers who create artwork. There is NOTHING I’ve seen about Rihanna that made my jaw drop. I’ve never seen a performance from Rihanna like I’ve seen from Janet Jackson, Beyonce (YES F****** BEYONCE. I SAID IT), Britney Spears, and even Chris Brown to name a few. She’s a manufactured piece of OKAY-talent. Even Cher and Madonna (who have weaker voices than Rihanna, mind you) would wipe the stage floor with her weave. This is truth. Cloud your sights with your love for her all you want but this is what it is.

    • THE_1 June 25, 2012

      Adam you done said. Rihanna gets bashed but Chris gets a pass for being a drug addled MJ impersonator??. Although, its fair to have a counter opinion on Riri. We get it. You – grapejuice hate her. But of course Rihanna subjects, even negative ones drive traffic to your site. That’s why Rihanna will ALWAYS be posted about on this site. All the other urban C listers who are featured here have got nothing on the attention Grape Juice gets when they post on Rih. It’s perverse but its commerce.

    • mob June 25, 2012

      WHAT THE F*CK does Chris Brown have to do with this damn post? Rihanna is a drug-outed talentless s**** who can’t sing or dance (see Beyonce & Ciara for dancers and Jill Scott & J-Hud for singers)

      Just when I try to ease off this chicks neck here comes her stans to try and drag Chris for no reason at all in an attempt to suppot this goat. Rihanna is today and has always been a “psychotic jackass”! CB, Kanye, drug dealer, woman abuser & stabber GayZ, LA Reid, and the rest have bent over backwards trying to hide Rihanna’s condiction for years!

      “Good Girl Gone Bad” MY ASS! She has always been what you see today!!

  12. Kelly June 24, 2012

Love the way you lie part 2 was GREAT, keep hating, Rita will keep flopping in the U.S., As you said Yesterday, Rihanna #TTT has only sold 900,000 plus, Rita won’t get those numbers till probably 10 years from now!

  18. THATGRAPESHIT June 24, 2012

    Shame you have to bring Rita into it. Rihanna rocked that stage and slayed most with this FULL concert.

    Why didn’t you post Rita’s performance from this weekend? Why was it an acoustic version.. sure anyone can have a better voice when there seated/not dancing.

  19. HATERHATER June 24, 2012

    TGJ you’re full of it. I wrote this after watching the first vid and then watched the other 2 before coming back to make sure you were actually full of it. You still are. Rihanna may have had something to drink before this set, but whoever is creating these dramatic headlines needs AA. Atleast TMZ shows their faces. Ya’ll are silly.

  20. MJ Lover June 24, 2012

    She wasn’t bad vocally. At all. I actually think she sounded good. But it seems like that nobody noticed her unusal behaviour in these performances. She usally doesn’t move this… weird. The girl was on kush. (And I really hope that it was just kush and not cocaine)
    I really hope that she won’t become a drug addict. ( that would be horrible)
    But I’m also pretty sure that sooner or later someone(Hopefully Jay z or her mom) will get her together and set her head back straight. Because it seems like she’s losing control…. (But I really hope that that is not the case)

    • Benron June 24, 2012

      Agreed!

      Yes she does. Even Steve Wonder can see this is another Whitney or Amy. Amy used to sing with that same drag voice just like an drug abuser. She died young because she liked pills, coke, drinking etc and did not want to go to rehab.

  28. virtuoso intellect June 24, 2012

    so i brought myself to sit thru the performance, yeah i know i was opening a can of worms. i know by now not to expect much from rihanna but damn if ur gonna have dreadful vocals on soooooooo many songs, if u lack the fluidity of a dancer, the very very least u could do is at least have some iota of showmanship? but hell naw , queen of rhitards was as robotic as they come. she uttered more or less the same lines between every 2nd song – how crazy Hackney crowd are, how much she loves this sh*t. Bar dont stop the music, she pretty much stuck to the studio arrangements of the numbers on the setlist. the re-worked version of whats my name has been overused so much it’s become one of her most boring live cuts. thank God Jay breathed some life onto that stage. The person i feel sorry for most is Beyonce, imagine the greatest performer of our time enduring that? ch. in the plus side, she dint have to step on stage to steal Ri’s thunder. When asked what the highlight of the weekend was, the interviewee replied “Beyonce moshing” says it all.

    In conclusion, i dont care if she has a million no1s, I as an adult wont be co-signing this woman, she represents everything i stand against.

  29. michelle June 24, 2012

    i must say that rihanna started off a hotmess!!!!!!no question about that BUT she pulled it off midway…..I have to say that she got her s*** somewhat together and gave a good (by rihanna’s standards) performance from ‘love the way you lie’ onwards. C’mon TGJ…give her some type of credit.

  30. chase June 24, 2012

    This is crazy Embarrassed no ways, you are been silly whoever runs this website tbh, she danced more than ever with vocals that were acceptable crowd loved her tbh she DID WELL so this post is just simply silly even BEYONCE would say she did well so stop this b******* and ohh RITA she cant dance, lolest LEAVE IT YEAH!!!!

  31. Meh June 24, 2012

    She did very good. Best from her in long time. I enjoyed whole show.

  32. Rihanna sucks June 24, 2012

    B**.co.uk\hackney After her third track, S&M, Rihanna ran into the audience to ask for help re-attaching the battery pack for her microphone, which had become loose during a high-energy dance routine but it’s official Rihanna reattach her battery because she wasn’t singing live there wasn’t a live show like we saw yesterday during Jay z s performance or the amazing tongue dropper beyonce Glastonbury show Rohanna was crap

    • Benron June 24, 2012

      Rihanna sang live… trust me!

    • MC&TB4LIFE June 24, 2012

      • ashleeee June 26, 2012

        uhm when does beyonce not sing live…uhm BYONCE WILL SING CIRCLES, TRIANGLES, AND SQUARES AROUND RIHANNA. DO NOT BE DELUSIONAL LOL. THAT PERFORMANCE LIKE MOST OF HER LIVE PERFORMANCES WAS TRASH. FOR SOMEONE WHO’S BEEN AROUND TO DO SEVEN ALBUMS, SHE SHOULD COME AROUND TO GETTING SOME VOCAL LESSONS, AND SOME DANCE LESSONS.

    • WHUT June 24, 2012

      PURE CLASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

      • THE_1 June 25, 2012

        It was amazing. When this girl plays to her strengths, there is no other. Most artists are unique and she is one of them. On a whole, vocally she did her thing. Not perfect but then NO ONE is. Dancing and outfit was a little lacklustre but the crowd didn’t give a s***. And that is what counts. The fans loved it.

    Well at least she sang live, unlike that woman beater. Also, the crowd loved it so I highly doubt anyone cares what a bottom who posts crap about her in his mother’s basement thinks. The crowd loved every minute of it.

  36. whyohwhy June 24, 2012

    She’s terrible, she did what I said, hollaring Hackney and letting the people in the audience do her work and she helped them. Sam never lied on this one and many more. Rihanna sucks!!! it’s an image thang with her and S&M was a hot mess, all of it was. Them reviews are going to kill her she acted like she was on something and I now perfer she dont try and dance, hot mess. She has become a joke!!! The other artist was laughing at her she needs to take her studio only self and go retire. By a Rihanna standard she was good now ain’t that something to say about a suppose super star.

    Stop supporting this mess!!!! Crack head is gone!!

  43. PYTFROMAL June 24, 2012

    I read your commentary before I watched the video. She didn’t do that bad as you tried to make it. She’s not the best singer but it wasn’t unbearable to me. With work, she will get better. And stop with the nonsense with squeezing Beyonce and Rita into every Rihanna post. You’re acting like a crazed stan.

    • THE_1 June 25, 2012

      So true. What exactly has Rita and Beyonce got to do with anything?? I do wonder about this Sam/Samantha. He or she, with their bizarre obsession with Fenty has all the credibility of a fan who didnt get eye f***** by Riri at a show. It’s almost on Sandra Rose levels of obsession. Lol.

      are you talking about her singing, cause she left a lot of her lines with a heavy BACKTRACK and constantly screaming hackney to hype them up. If youa re are true artist you would know that her vocals were rubbish and all over the place. yes I know better maybe better than you buddy.Her stage presence was wack and starting to stop her trying out other artist adlibs and styles on stage and failing misearably.

      you’re no artist b****. who are you trying to convince. not Me I know about vocals

  56. CHAD June 24, 2012

    Though it is freedom of speech, if Rihanna has seriously harm someone and/or committed a heinous crime, then that’s something to be surprise about. And I say this because, that’s the only thing to ever report about to be surprise about Rihanna. We all know how she sounds, performs, and so forth. What is the ACTUALLY point of promoting your dislike toward an artist who has been in the industry for awhile (and successful at what she does). She may not be your cup of tea, which I’ll respect; but the nonstop, blatant, harsh criticism toward her is disgusting, bullying, and just uncalled for. It is as if, everything she does, she is committing a crime toward humans; why report on someone you dislike?

    It’s sad, and a shame to freedom of speech, when people use it to attack someone, for no justifiable reason, only because they run a site. To compare her to other artists is uncalled for; to put her down is uncalled for. Again, it’s music, they are artists, and I don’t know any artists/celebs personally. But it’s shameful to think that there isn’t any logical empathy that people should have when putting non constructive feedback toward anyone; people do have feelings too. And people wonder why celebs turn to a dark side every now and then; it’s the pressures and unwarranted attacks from people who hold this vendetta/issue against others who are simply musicians. They aren’t dictators or criminals, they just perform music you may not enjoy; yet you attack them as if they have no business opening their mouths and making an earning.

    This website could be so much more without the hate. Perez Hilton realized that and stopped with his site; TMZ has slowly turn the corner; why not do the same?

    Because, at the end of the day, when a real tragic headline happens to these artists that you attack, it will be such a regretful day for those who cared so less (for no reason) about them when these artists were alive and well.

  57. JER June 24, 2012

    I can’t at the hyperbole. SMH. I’d rather watch Rihanna get down on stage and be a motherfuckin rock star b**** than watch BeYAWNce step on stage with the same blonde wig, wind machine, counting steps, and trying desperately to connect to the audience. It’s called TIRED.

    Rihanna doesn’t give a f***, she connects with the audience the way rock stars do, not by pre-recording “live” vocals so they’re perfect and shouting out “I DON’T ALWAYS DO THIS, BUT I WANT YAL TO FEEL ME ON THIS SONG” chil please. BeYAWNce and her fake schtick can have ALL the seats in REvel, Glastonerry, and Whimbley too because that’s where that fake Janet Jackson wannabe s*** can stay.

    People are TIRED of BeYAWNce same ass routines, the stupid single ladies choreography, and that corny koon ass “uht oh” dance. HANG IT UP. BeYAWNce has tried desperately to do the “rock star” type of performances and she ends up looking a damn fool because she can’t pull it off. Rihanna can and has done both. BeYAWNce is over. Her fake s*** attitude and handful of over the top moves she’s been doing since Destiny’s Child that somehow justify her being a “legendary” performer. The only people still checkin for that s*** are the same pressed black 20-year-old queens that faint over blonde weave flailing. Yal need to get your life because it’s not cute anymore

    Rihanna is now, Rihanna is the future. BeYAWNce is 10 years ago. And Rihanna doesn’t have to have nobody riding her ass telling her that her albums are brilliant, and she doens’t have anybody paying Rolling Stone, and Time and producers off to get her name on s***. It’s TIRED. And bringing it back, these performances by Rihanna were GREAT. Summer festival audiences LOVE tough, edgy, REAL acts that get on stage and give you the real, not “3, 4, 5 uht uht oh uht uht ohhh 7, 8, 9” GURL BYE.

    • Gilberto June 24, 2012

      Beyoncé keeps pissing Rihtards. Basically, you said Beyoncé is the base of music, and Rihanna needs to prove that she’s better. Well, let me tell you something, she isn’t. You’re so pressed about Beyoncé’s success and talent that you wish these belonged to Rihanna.
      Beyoncé’s iconic performance on the last VMA was the most watched performance of VMA’s history and the same thing happened to Run The World on Billboard Awards. DEAL. There’re people willing to buy $1000-ticket to watch Beyoncé’s concerts at REVEL (she was paid over $1 million for each day). Her Glastonbury performance was critically acclaimed and made history. DEAL.
      Do I have to say that Beyoncé made $40 million without going on tour or releasing a new album? She’s the BOSS.
      “she doens’t have anybody paying Rolling Stone, and Time”
      Wasn’t Rihanna on the Time magazine? L M F A O. You just shaded your fave. See? That’s the problem with Rihtards, they think they’re slaying, but they’re just fooling themselves.
      Is Rihanna now? So why did her album failed miserable? LOL.

    Let’s see—Rihanna is singing and dancing at the same time unlike your fave Chris Brown

    Rihanna is performing at Hackney and has performed at the Billboards, Grammys etc while your fave Kelly Rowland can only get booked at Pride and BET awards without Beyonce.

    Rihanna has a hit album while your faves Kelly, Alexandra, and CB have yet to go platinum since 2009

    Rihanna has hit singles…do I need to go on?

      Why the f*** when your fave does something terrible you bring up either Beyonce or Chris Brown. Seems like you need those two to boost Rihanna dry ass up. It’s always some artists you bring to the post to defend Rihanna. You don’t need them if she is that good. You kids are something else.

      It’s the inconsistency that allows for her detractors to pounce. Though there is such a tremendous amount of disdain for this girl. She could have a perfect voice and people would still go for her neck.

      They way I see it, Rihanna is following in the vein of pop artists like Madonna and Kylie. Where you know you are buying into a persona/ performer rather than just a vocalist. Artists that are more style over content have been with us since forever. To these artists fans it doesn’t particularly matter that they arent the best singers or dancers. All the above artists are excellent performers in their own way.

    Is it me or did it seem very much so that Jay/Rihanna are f*** buddies or the least he has f*** her. Did Rihanna use her microphone to express the size of Jay-z d*** on TTT? Jay-z proving that being 42 married with a baby he’s still able to rock the stage. Let me say this about the sound of Rihanna, she is a studio singer where she gets needed sounds to help/enhance her to sound ok. When doing her songs live she should learn to practice more so her sound would be that of like her studio sound. Also when Rihanna does her music/albums just to party and rock out her audience will be of such and more toward a party/rock crowd. I will say this when Beyonce performed for over 150 million crowd at the Glastonbury she totally rock and perform her ass off. Beyonce is a true performer and might I say she’s the best of this generation. Rihanna is in a lane of her own as well as Beyonce so let them be and do what they was born to do.

    Oh, Rihanna.

Only the Bajan Thugtress.

  73. Saetana June 25, 2012

    That wasn’t bad at all – S&M was dodgy but there was nothing (much) wrong with Disturbia and Only Girl in the World. Love the Way You Lie was actually good, real emotion in her voice and she didn’t waver much with her vocals. At least she doesn’t lipsynch – unlike some I could mention – and is making an effort to dance a bit more now. And you HAD to get Rita into the f****** post somewhere – I don’t care if she is the most talented b**** on the planet (which she most certainly is not), she has a very LONG way to go before even coming close to what Rihanna has achieved, comparing them does Rita no favours at all as you are making her look like she is trying to be a 2nd rate Rihanna (reasonable vocals do not a great performer make) when it seems they get on very well and she wants to find her own path. Rihanna’s problem is clear in some of these videos – she is a really lazy vocallist, too much time partying and not enough honing her craft. She is still young, hopefully she will get her head around it as she gets older ;o)

    • THE_1 June 25, 2012

      Completely agree. Rihanna make not be a classically trained singer or a vocal powerhouse but she has something. She indeed can be hit or miss live performer but she gets credit for actually singing LIVE. I watched the whole show and vocally Rihanna was consistent and good. Rihanna has good tone. Her voice is distinctive. Barring a shaky start
      LTWYL was emotive and she hit every note. Where Have you Been was another standout for me. She faltered on WFL but I will allow for that as it was the end of the show.

      Pitting artists against one another is futile. Whoever, is writing this blog can Stan for whoever they want but when your own readers are calling you out for being a bitter b****, you should know there is a problem.

    Rihanna Makes U.K. Chart History
    The recording artist and song writer who has topped the billboard charts since 2005. Rihanna has a number one single in the U.S. and the U.K.

    Her hit song Umbrella, which retained the Number 1 spot for 10 consecutive weeks.

    Rihanna topped sales of Umbrella with 2009’s Rude boy with double-platinum of the album Rated R again with 2010’s Platinum Number 1 smash hit Only Girl (In the World). In total she has secured twelve Top 5 singles in the UK.

    In 2010, Rihanna was the highest selling singles artist of the year. As she was on the biggest selling single of the year, Love The Way You Lie, with Eminem.

    The say my name star collaborated with the rapper Drake from her 5th album “Loud”, her song only girl in the world receiving two grammy awards.

    More than her hit songs rihanna’s hairstyles are always in the latest photo shoots, from short, hair, black hair, blonde hair and now bright red hair.

    In 2009 she was caught up in a domestic violence relationship with a high profile singer by the name of chris brown. This caused the issue to be brought to the front of the publics eye on violence against woman.

    Rihanna has had the opportunity to work with several stars such as kanye west, nicki minaj, Jay-z, and eminem.

    Earlier this year Ri Ri song What’s My Name? hit the top spot on the official UK singles chart, giving Rihanna the record of being the first female solo artist to have 5 number one singles in the UK in consecutive years.

    How it happened is that in 2007, Umbrella; in 2008, Take A Bow, in 2009, Run This Town, in 2010, Only Girl In the World gave her her fourth UK number one single.

    And she has made countless other great features in this London Town and

    Mercury Music Group’s president, Jason Iley, told Music Week: “Selling 15 million records in the UK is a remarkable achievement. Rihanna’s only 24 and I have no doubt she’ll sell another 15 million records in the near future. It’s not about speed, it’s about longevity, and Rihanna has a long career ahead of her.”

    Since her debut album, ‘Music Of The Sun’, the Bajan star’s last five albums have become multi-platinum sellers, whilst becoming the only female artist to have a No. 1 single in five consecutive years. Mercury’s Illey also said of the star: “From the start Rihanna and her team have treated the UK like home. She’s totally embraced Britain – right down to our public transport systems. Her work ethic is incredible. She understands the label, as well as the promotional opportunities that we’ve created.”

    The singer is not afraid to take risks, which has inevitably gone in her favour. Rihanna recently spoke to Love Pop Magazine about her strong visuals and the need for a thick skin in this industry: “It’s really easy for me to zone out, get in my own world. I need to be really stern about the point I’m trying to make, even if not verbal. There is so much scrutiny and negativity. You need thick skin. I grew a set of balls that are very big. Ha ha!”

    rih says there is so much SCRUTINY AND NEGATIVITY Hmmmm could
    she be secretly reading “That Grape Juice Blog” spot??????????????

    STATISTICS REPORTS NOT THE HATERS AND THEIR HATER COMMENTS ON THIS SITE, BUM BYTCHES!!!!!!

    @ Lax is pressed. save him.

    I don’t know what is great to some people. But rihanna’s voice was all over the place. she just acted like she was afraid to dance and was trying to do runs and pitchy all the time. she was giving out that swag that just seemed forced. I see a lot of things she starts copying on stage. yes i see cause i watch a lot of dvd’s.
    When jay z came out the crowd got so hyped and pumped. I then wonder what was wrong with rihanna. Rihanna started feeding out jay z hype following him everywhere. She is just a mess and tries so hard. poor tink tink. still getting bad reviews from the professionals but all in all, jay z was needed. the crowd would go to sleep if he was one minute late.

    To all the navy please you don’t have to retaliate. This is what you have to deal with and it will get worst as she grows older. 7 years and people are still complaing about her performances. What is she good at?

    @ lax rihanna could not even make 60 million net after touring what will she make next year since she is not touring and doesn’t have an album out. she will also be 25 on her next tour, don’t wait for improvements?

    RIHANNA HIT OR MISS I FEEL SORRY FOR YALL

      On stage at the Glastonbury Music Festival, Beyonce said that it was “her dream” to be there performing.

      Following this performance, she’ll be in the dreams of thousands of British music fans for a long time to come.

      The R&B star, the first female headliner in the history of the festival, brought down the house Sunday night, wowing a screaming audience of 170,000+ fans. The bright lights of what is considered by some to be the biggest music festival in the world were no match for the singer, as she ran through some of her biggest hits, opening with “Crazy Like That” before moving on to songs like “Single Ladies,” “Irreplaceable,” and a medley of Destiny’s Child favorites, including “Survivor” and “Say My Name.”

      She also sang her new single, “1+1,” as well as “At Last,” the song she sang during President Obama’s inauguration in 2009. That performance came with a special civil rights-themed video montage — which included video of that very inauguration. See her complete setlist here.

      Her husband, Jay-Z, watched from the side of the stage alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, whose husband Chris Martin performed earlier with his band Coldplay. Jay-Z, in 2008, was the first hip hop act to play the festival.

      To be sure, the performance is a great promotion for her new album, “4,” which drops Tuesday. See stunning photos

    Im still wondering why you expect more from this mentally disturbed no self esteem having junkie! That’s th real question. Oh and the delusional that Rihanna has accomplished more than Beyonce STOP! On what f****** planet?! Let’s stop bringing up those 11 number one singles half of which Rihanna was just a feature they weren’t even her songs! Rihanna can’t even carry an album without help from JayZ or Drake. Does anyone remember her first two albums? No? Ask yourself why. *Drops MIC*

    • Benron June 25, 2012

      Rihanna’s number ones consist of her being a feauture on 2, not half!

  86. Really, UGH! June 25, 2012

    Those performances were a mess

  87. IMO June 25, 2012

    No one is trying to say Rihanna is a new Mariah, Whitney or have the voice of Beyonce but she certainly didn’t sound as bad as you consistently make out.

    WE ALL KNOW YOU DO IT SO YOU GET A LOAD OF COMMENTS AND MORE MONEY FOR ADS BECAUSE YOU SITE ‘LOOKS’ POPULAR.

    What I find irritating is you sing Kelly Rowlands praises when my girl sounds flat and nervous on EVERY performance!

    I’m no big Rihanna fan but she has what it takes to sell her music and sell out concerts world wide… talent or no talent… didn’t stop the Spice Girls

    • RICHANDBLACK11(JUST LIKE BEY) June 30, 2012

      Where was Beyonce didn’t see her at the 0.38 mark

  88. mob June 25, 2012

    I loved the song Disturbia however, her performance at this concert was not impressive! What was she doing at the end of th song dancing? Right but a certain someone is a BAD PERFROMER THOUGH 0_o *serious side-f&cking-eye*

  89. ojie king June 25, 2012

    Well, I saw her whole set and i have to say that i didn’t know when i found myself dancing and singling along. I thoroughly enjoyed her set. Rihanna has really matured as a performer. Also, i think we should a times refrain from comparing Rihanna to Beyonce, we should note Beyonce is 6 years older than her, which is 6 years more time on the stage and more time honing her craft to be the Beyonce we know and respect today. I think Rihanna has seriously grown as a performer over the years and will continue to grow. I also agree that she should stop releasing album for some time and instead work on making herself into a beast on the stage because if she can spend time improving her stage presence, what she did at Hackney would be child’s play for what she is capable of doing. THIS IS AN UN-BIASED OPINION.

    Thank god for backing singers.

  91. Adrian June 25, 2012

    I bet bey was like “what the p*** is this!!!”

  92. mayamakaveli June 26, 2012

    if you dislike rihanna so much, why do u post 5 articles abt her every f****** day? no one is saying she’s better than b, beyonce is the queen and if u really realise that u wouldn’t put her in the same sentence as rihanana, LEAVE RIRI ALONE!

  93. dgraten8 June 28, 2012

    I normally dont care for Rihanna live, but she wasnt as bad as let on. She was entertaining and sounds like she always does live. OK thats not helping my point, but SHE DID NOT EMBARASS HERSELF. TGJ stop hating this black woman. Let her do her. Then again, keep it up, its funny
