Rihanna‘s latest cut ‘Diamonds’ certainly has folk talking that talk.
Yet with the dust, excitement, and iTunes buzz finally settling, we’re keen to plough through the smoke and mirrors and ask…is the song truly hot or not.

lol really, I swear Rihanna is the only reason this website is able to stay up. You are guys deep down are stans. Rihanna does what that bubble headed fake baby bump wearing Beyonce can’t. Musically of course. Shine Bright like a Diamond haters!
H** stfu.
You Rihanna stans ALWAYS mention Bey’s name on a post that has absolutely nothing to do with her.
Looks like the king has you h*** hella mothafuckin pressed.
Yes, but the BEYONCE STAN in the video “Twinkle” was the 1st to mention her name on an entry he was doing about Rihanna!
hahaha what a joke! Rihanna does NOTHING! when it comes to her music, just like the other one or even less
im not even a rihanna stan i actually like beyonce but beyonce does the same thing over and over rihanna actually switches it uphonestly they both will probably remembered but rihanna actualy has really good songs
YOUR FUNNY , U JUST HAD TO BRING BEYONCE INTO THIS , BEYONCE STAY ON Y’ALL MINDS I SEE.
@BI*CH, RichnBlack rih says kiss her grits,,

Before you trash Rihanna and her vocals please take off Kelly Rowland’s one piece top. Cause you look and sound stupid! lol
OKAY…. HE TRYNA READ RIHANNA, YET LITTLE DO THEY KNOW, RIHANNA’S NAME KEEP’S MONEY IN THIS BLOG’S POCKET. AINT NOBODY CHECKING FOR THEM OTHER SINGERS! THE HATERS ARE LOOKING LIKE OBVIOUS DESPERATE DRY OLD QUEENS, STILL WAITING FOR BRANDY & MONICA TO DOMINATE….. (KEEP WAITING)
This question was asked and answered when the song was released and it earned tgj a record 1700+ hits,& now u askin the same damn question hoping to capitalize…don’t push it,lol
Thanks keep promoting rihanna new single.
stop mentioning beyonce fans wtf.. I think the song is okay.. But its not gonna work and she’s no queen !
This f****** dude mentioning Beyonce because this site wants a stan war for hits. They got away with it on Rihanna’s new Dimonds song post with 1,734 hits. Use your head Navy & Beehives PLEASE!!!!!!!!
LOL, you peeped that too! Then he had the nerve to throw BREEZY in the mix to get me to run up and down this damn post too!! 🙂
You are not slick, we see you!! LOL
http://soundcloud.com/rihanna/diamonds
just look at the comments on that s***! 😀 you’ll have your answers
I do not like the way that the guy in the video talked about Rihanna. If your going to give a review or a statement about someones career or music, make it NONE BIAS.
F*** all that even if the song was about Chris Brown what business is it to this f**. This is a pretty song just like Don’t Judge Me. I really hate these want-to-be critics
@Von Tae
Agree
me to oh wel
NO ONE CARES UGLY
I don’t buy singles. I will buy the album tho. I really like the song tho.
shut up troll
Only 3 Boreanna fans made that huge amount of comments….
Keep calling Beyonce it ain’t her fault or her fan’s….. this girl is such a fake…. all hyper nothing lasting –
EXACTLY!!! WTF DO THEY THINK? 3 PEOPLE SIGNING INTO DIFFERENT SCREENNAMES IS NOT A SUCCESS.. FLOP LOL
YES HUN THE THREE SYBILS , KELLY LAX AND THE MONSTARBEL THING HOGGIN THE POST FROM 7AM TIL THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORING TRYING TO BOOST RIHANNA
@RichnBlack What ever you say remember, it’s yo world
we all just happens to live in it. And as far as the Beyonce’s name being bought up,,,,when you get some time look no further then the last post on That Grape entitled jay and bey in new york and read yo own Silly Season Asses all up and down that Thread ,,,,i know that it would be safe to say that Rihanna
was called out of Her name over 200 times or more by the Bey Hive Generals and the Thread had a Heafty 352 comments Deery. So know this if you don’t know nothing else, Rih and Her Navy may not be able to stop yo ass from trying to take Rih and Her Navy’s Head off but we sure in the hell can give you Loosers Something Different to talk about, boo, boo! and either crap or get off the pot because it seem to me that here lately there have been some more Generals from Rih’s Navy who or joining me and others to make for certain that the “Playing Field” is as Even as possible. And you know that is right down the Navy’s alley because after all the Haters and that Bey Hive has been running loose here lately and taking on each and every post on Rih and treating the Navy like crap, but hey if the heat is to hot in the kictchen fall the hell back and let the show go On, with yo complaning ass all of a sudden Yet yo ass have been like a Loose cannon aganist Rihanna since Day One almost, boo, boo.
haha 😛 lol
OMG! This is priceless! xD
A BEYAWNCÉ stan calling Rihanna boring. You just made my day!
Heeeey Rick how are ya with yo
Desperate, ass.
@ Ernest
R****** fans don’t see that logic though, that’s why she hasn’t gotten a #1 US album in 6 tries and still won’t with the 7th.
you do realize her albums chart #1 world wide.. and her albums also outsell this sites quote on quote fave… just food for thought.. so who’s really a “tard”?
BUT NOT IN THE U.S. HUN,, WHO’S MAD? 🙂
you e hex
@SCORPIO,,,, But Rih’s “Talk That Talk” went #1 World Wide
Don’t that Count For Something? Selling 504,000 first week
and went on to sell 1 million in less then a month World Wide, Do That Count for Anything? Or DOES selling 504,000
first week and going on to sell a million in less than a month
world wide ONLY COUNT For Beyonce? Since many of you are Hell Bent On trying to make Rihanna’s success be a No, No, Because Somehow Beyonce’s fans hates seeing Rihanna Accomplish Anything, What a Shame.
Sam you hate my FAV so much but your ALWAYS making post about her smh….. & ill say it again THIS SITE REVOLVES AROUND RIHANNA!!!!
@MONSTABEL The whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I am a Rihanna fan but Im not gonna bring Beyonce into this, there’s just no need to – The song is great, and the production is amazing – Rihanna will only be taking a lot more seriously when
a) She gets a lot more involved with writing her songs i.e. at least having a first hand in penning a song
b) She delivers more and more consistent performances
I agree with you on the performance thing, but the whole song writing thing is not a big deal to general public aka straight people they could care less about who writes the song…only f*** care about these petty things… enjoy music fuuuck!
To be honest I couldnt really care about her writing songs BUT at least if she wrote some here and there it would mean more – I love her, her voice and songs regardless of if she writes, I guess I was saying what I thought some people wanted to hear.. oh well lol..
you right… i never hear a straight person talking about who wrote what… f*** too damn nosy.. and secondly she still has a lot of creative input on everything and cowrites a lot of her songs soo… thirdly as long as the song relates to what she’s going thru [tbh even if it wasn’t] who cares who wrote… hardly any of these singers write all their own music… soooo next
no girl lol had
@farren WTF ARE U TALKING ABOUT? MOST SONGWRITERS ARE STRAIGHT, ITS THE ARTISTS WHO BE MOSTLY GAY …
ALWAYS TRYNNA PUT SOMETHING OFF ON F***
NO ONE THINKS THIS H** HAS TALENT!
Wellllllll Rih was the Excutive producer on “Talk That Talk”
But the haters don’;t want to accept it or hear it so i say let the chips fall where they may. Everything Rih does good or bad is up for APPROVAL from her haters no matter what the
subject matter is.
IM NOT EVEN A RIHANNA STAN BUT THIS POST WAS SHADY FROM START TO FINISH… WHAT YOUR PRESSED ABOUT IS THAT “DIAMONDS” IS #1 ON iTUNES in like 12 COUNTRIES! RIH IS NOT BOTHERED! ITS ALWAYS THE GAYS HAVE TO BE SHADY. NO WONDER WE GET STEREOTYPED THE WAY WE DO!
but the shade is isn’t not number 1 in the largest music market the one that counts

shud up troling ass f*****
i look at this site and i’m just like. why is always constant negativity towards her… you say no #1 albums but they’ve always debuted #1 world wide… she outsells ALL the black women in the industry. she gets plenty of awards and accolades for her WORLDLY success… you can shade her vocals all day if you want.. cause thats a perceptual art and one i won’t argue about.. but when it comes to her success and the success of her music, i will not stand for the discredit and the delusion from you guys on this site… she’s been sitting unbothered at the top of the charts and will continue…
haha yahh lol coolz
@FARREN They know the truth but will choose
negativity over the truth because it make them feel good and they thing they are hurting Rih and Her Navy i just wonder how long are they going to go before they realize that the negativity gives Her navy and HER energy to stay the course.
EVEN WITH ALL THE HATE F** SAM DOES…HE CANT STOP RIHANNA’S REIGN!!!! NUMBER 1 IN 17 COUNTRIES IN A MATTER OF HOURS AND TOP 5 IN 50 COUNTRIES IN LESS THAN 24 HRS ONLY A FEW CAN DO THAT AND BEYFLOP AINT ONE OF THEM!! SO JUST BECAUSE THE SAME 7 BEYFLOP HIVE STANS AND 3 GAGA FANS AND A COUPLE OF XTINA FANS AND 1 MC FAN ON THIS BLOG HATES RIHANNA AND HER NAVY…BUT RIHANNA WILL STILL BE O TOP AND U HATERS WILL JUST HAVE TO DEAL!!! LETS GO NAVY ANOTHER EPIC ERA!!!!!!! HATERS STAY MAD!!!!
US is the biggest market but If you’re not international who gives a hoot! Didn’t wfl love debut at # 16 and rose to #1? Watch when the video comes out.Y’all talking trash now because she didn’t promote the single LOL
U EVER WONDER WHY U CAN BE PLATINUM IN THE US & U AUTOMATICALLY PLATINUM WW BUT IF U PLATINUM IN SPAIN NOONE GIVES A F***?
ITS BECAUSE THE US IS WHAT MATTERS MOST, UGLY
PERIOD!!! STOP TRYNNA MAKE RIHOENA BIGGER THAN SHE IS!!!
Whoreonce is probably gnashing her teeth right now, asking herself: how can i suck the camel’s d*** better for it to stop supporting Fenty. Or she’s probably scouring youtube for ideas to steal or fitting new baby bumps. Maybe her next move should be..,to just die :p
S*******,,,ROTL Crying with Laughter,,OMG
LMAO….Thank U i needed that laugh!
I swear some of y’all are evil. Is really that serious? You don’t like her, we get it.
Are u stupid it’s not like Rihanna is flopping on the US market and oerall internationally she ranks second!USA included no matter how you look at it Rihanna is slaying and Sam and the Beyhie are pressed!!
Huh, I can’t even watch this VIDEO with Samantha’s HE/SHE boyfriend looking like that!!! That shirt, what in the hell?! And I know his queen ass was over the top in this video too, flailing around like a flaming….nm…..#iCant
Some artists just aren’t songwriters. Since when did everyone get so big on every artist being a songwriter. The whole post negative posts about Rihanna is tiring now. This site talks about her negatively yet they haven’t removed her post from the top of the home page. She is y’alls cash cow. Then y’all get this biased a** annoying Beyonce stan that brings her up when it doesn’t even apply. Stfu about Beyonce. She has nothing to do with anything…. Why complain about something, only to keep talking about it. Hypcrote…….
I agree some artists aren’t songwriters but I know within the industry songwriting/producing is important to the artists (they can maintain more control, and make more money, etc.)The public shouldn’t really care about the “inner workings” but for some reason , this type of stuff has become ALL the talk on these blogs over the last few years. So has chart placement, lip synching, etc.
I say just enjoy the music and don’t worry about all that as a consumer. That’s the label and artists concerns. I think the industry actually started this whole chart placement, sales talk because that’s how they build their stars now, with titles and breaking records. Then folks online began to think that was the MOST important thing.
@THEMAN U R SO TELLING THE TRUTH, GOOD READ.
God bless you for this comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep chart placement has taken over quality music. It’s terrrible. It starts with quality music. The music is the main factor, focus on that.
Damn! I wanted to comment, i wanted to comment so bad but just the site of Patrick in his sheer panel top just threw me and it’ll take me a minute to compose myself.
GIVE ME A MINUTE DAMMIT!!!!!!
Okay, I don’t understand people’s talk about a new Rihanna sound? It’s the same tempo as Russian Roulette.
I actually like the song, in a world where i usually despise Rihanna releases, or listen to them for approx a week before it annoying to me to high heavens, i’m actually enjoying this. I think she sounds different because she’s singing it like the demo so imitating Sia’s vocal style. If you listen to any Ester Dean demo this is what Rihanna does with those songs.
Anyway, i’m enjoying this song.
LOL, I KNOW RIGHT? 🙂
If it not his “camel toe” slacks, it’s his see through “tah-tah” tops! Girl sit…..
Oh my gosh, the dry jokes, the untimely poorly executed shade. The bad vocal lessons joke, to the desperate queen giving them.
Ill just say thanks for the promo and laugh somewhere else. For everything ya’ll do being poorly editied, badly written and painfully uneducated you do critisze others a lot.
F*** are so obseessed with number 1 lmao, GET A LIFE! i’m sure number 4 is quite ok with ANYONE, most don’t make top 20, let alone top 10
WHAT THE F*CK DID HE JUST SAY?
Look here “Twinkle” you need to be concerned aout your girl BEYONCE being married to a DRUG DEALER that STABBED Un Rivera and BEAT THE S*** out of two women he dated, FOXY BROWN & AMIL LION. He can also been seen via video on Youtube smacking and shoving a little girl out of his “important” way. BEYONCE’S PET CAMEL IS A NOTED VIOLENT, EVIL, ILLUMINATI PUPPET! So F*CK what you think about CHRIS BROWN and the TEENAGE FIGHT he and Rihanna had 3 years ago.
***I HATE WEAK, COWARDLY BLACKS who follow whatever bullsh*t the RACIST media presents like it’s the GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN, LUKE or MATHEW!…..sit the f*ck down….
Oh and “Twinkle” or WHO THE F*CK EVER, Rihanna has been singing about Chris Brown for years so what’s the problem all of a sudden? Oh right, the RACIST WHITE media & the fake ass RACIST femiNAZIs don’t like the fact that Rihanna is no longer interested in being USED as a puppet on a string for their fake ass agenda. I say way to go RiRi, you finally woke the hell up to the continued bullsh**! I still want you to stay away from Chris however! The closer you get to him the more they try to BULLY & ABUSE him!! Just my observation!!!
***ALWAYS***
Folks got me hot hell I can barely type……LOL 🙂
Lol, Your about to gauge his eyes out.
He surprised me with his crazy comments. ‘Diamond’ is actually not a bad song and her vocals sound nice, IMO! That’s all he really needed to say. Adding that he’s a Bey stan and that crap about Rihanna singing to Chris Brown, (which we don’ know to be factual) has nothing to do with the review of the dog on song!!
I’ve been reading to many conspricacies, I immediately thought of her being possesed by the devil LMAO.
Just because luciferians think they and the devil will never die (she said You and I will never die) and she was talking about becoming one.
@MOB,,,THANKS YOU CLEANED THEIR CLOCKS, THANK U….
THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, BUT SEE IT’S OKAY FOR JAY TO FIND HIMSELF AND MAKE SOMETHING OF HIMSELF BUT THEY WANT TO POINT THEIR FINGERS AT RIH AND CHRIS.
IKR? Isn’t it DISGUSTING!! The world can forgive and embrace an UNREPENTANT DRUG DEALER …Mr “I had to do what I had to do”. A “MAN” who himself both denigrated women for years in song and whooped up at least two women that we know of YET the world carries on about the 1 time actions of 19-year-old Chris Brown….WTF? 0_O And they treat Rihanna like boo boo the fool because she wants to be happy and move on with HER LIFE, not their lives BUT HER OWN LIFE? …….man bye, these ppl are obviously drugged and should be mugged out! LOL 🙂
@mob,,,Amen!
*Presses play on video*….’Diamonds’ begins to play *Huge smile comes across my face* FLAMING F** COMES ON SCREEN* *Smile dissipates* -_-
@TEACHER, I heard that, officer.
Are you suffocating, Sam? It must be tiring bring in Rihanna’s ass 24/7 365 days.
*being
He is sufforcating, she had to loose the weight she lost because as she said via unfaithful “I don’t wanna be… a murderer. He breaths in the fresh scent of her bodywash, moisturizes with her sweat, and eats her s*** up then spits it out and calls it a “blog post”
Is that sam in this video or patrick
You know it 😉
I love diamonds I can’t wait to hear new music from Rihanna though
Diamonds Are Forever!!
