Merely hours remain until the world premiere of Rihanna‘s new single ‘Diamonds’. And so as to whip up heightened excitement among her easy-pleased Navy, the model has “unlocked” the song’s lyrics.
Now, of course, Ms. Fenty didn’t write the track herself. Sia did. But be sure to pay attention to the words, as they make for an interesting point.
See what we mean below…

Is it us or do parts of this (on paper) bare an uncanny similarity to Rita Ora‘s ‘Radioactive’, which was also penned by Sia? Just saying…
Wow they both used the word ‘sky’
Mutha fuckn DEAD chile! Lol but i like This by Rita
LOOOL!!! Sam trying everything to promote Ritard Ora over Rihanna… Pathetic!
What the motherfucking hell.
SPAM
Not a classic at all according to the lyrics. Looks like a generic pop song made around a repetitive catchy chorus. The usual Rihanna formula, no growth or artistic creativity.
Rihanna never even said it was classic to begin with. she never hype her s*** up like other artist she let her music speaks for itself. UMBRELLA AND WE FOUND ARE CLASSIC POP SONGS.
Umbrala and we found are never a classic butch go read what’s a classic then u will find MJ beat I witney Houston I have nothing
gornurnothing’s orbit information we found love ain’t pop it’s a Dan e music!!! And umbrala it’s R&B
Sam, stop baiting the stans. Anyways the lyrics are great, good job Sia! We’ll see what happens…..
The more Sam hates on Rihanna, the more Rihanna stays winning.
Sam(antha), PLEASE keep hating on Rihanna. #RihannaNavy
Rihanna a.k.a. the New Millennium Queen of Pop
(side-eyes you ignorance)
Rihanna is not the NEW MILLENNIUM QUEEN OF POP!!! Dont know where your getting that idea from.
You’re really trying too hard for this Rita OralSex chick . . .
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just the lyrics have got me dancing and acting a fool, I so cant wait for this jam to drop. It’ll be on repeat the WHOLE day tomorrow. Rihanna will slay my life and bring me back to life with this song because she shines bright like a diamond.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol
you so basic its “cute”
SAM!!! B**** YOU BETTER READ RIHANNA!!! YASSSS!!!!
I know Sam’s dirty booty c*** guzzling ass did not just compare Rihanna to Rita! I f****** can’t!!!
We all know whose the bigger and better POP star
This song is coming for yall’s fave. Rihanna never said this would be a classic!!!
Diamonds!
I can’t @ my fave’s 65 million album copies sold worldwide, $835 million movies, +325 million tours, 16 Grammy’s, Millennium and Legendary awards getting ATTACKED by DiarrHoeA’s upcoming 129cent digital track on iTunes.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you for slaying me with your comment lolololololol
All I notice is “shine bright like a diamond” it’s pretty repetitive like we found love….I swear I’m in the wrong business to make easy fast money lol
Can all the Bey Stans move to the left and take their seats, repetitive is “Who runs the world, Video phone, Get me bodied, Diva, algeba 1+1, Love on top, Single ladies, etc”. The big difference between this and BeyFLOP’s repetitive junk is that Rihanna’s music is good whereas BeyFLOP’s repetitive junk is over produced, ghetto, incoherent crap that should not be given the time of day. So can the Bey stans now get off their seats and seat their asses on the floor.
Unless . . . BeyFLOP has only ONE flop album, another ONE with Destiny’s Child, and has sold 65–70 million album copies worldwide.
RihSLAY has had FOUR flop albums, and has only sold 26 million AFTER SIX ALBUMS!! Even Bey’s four SOLO albums sold more.
Dangerously In Love-WW: 11,000,000
B’Day-WW: 7,000,000
I Am…Sasha Fierce-WW: 7,000,000
4-WW: 2,000,000
27,000,000 Albums sold, With 4 #1 ALBUMS. THATS NOT EVEN COUNTING DESTINY’S CHILD ALBUMS SOLD( Which stand @ 50 Million) and Beyonce has sold more than 30.4 million digital singles as of January 2012.
Beyonce’s Albums + Singles= 57.4 Milion
Beyonce’s (Albums + Singles= 57.4 Milion)+Destiny’s Child (Albums-50 Million)=
107,400,000
BEYONCE WINS
BUT BEY HAS 16 GRAMMY’s. Thats impressive for someone who produces repetitive junk is that Rihanna’s music is good whereas BeyFLOP’s repetitive junk is over produced, ghetto, incoherent crap that should not be given the time of day. Instead of having several seats why don’t you STICK SEVERAL D**** RIGHT UP SYPHILITIC TOXIC WASTE ASS HOLE YOU RETARDED S*** BAG. #SlutBagNavyWhores
#Don’tYouHaveCocks2BlowWithYourMother? You stan for Rihanna while your profile pic is of Beyonce. YOU DIRTY S***, GO HAVE AN ENTIRE YANKEE STADIUM OF SEATS
“Shine bright like a Diamond” you haven’t noticced thats not repetitive. STFU YOU DIRTY H**.
MIND YOU IF IT WASN”T FOR RIHANNA’S ARMY OF SONGWRITERS SHE WOULDN’T be S***.
ESTER DEAN WROTE ALLL THESE SONS FOR RIHANNA:
Rude Boy, What’s My Name? (feat. Drake), S&M, Fading, Complicated, You da One, Where Have You Been, Talk That Talk (feat. Jay-Z), We All Want Love, Drunk on Love, Roc Me Out, Farewell, Fool in Love
AAAANNNNNDDDDD you point is?? It is their job to write songs, they are songwriters so exactly what is the problem here? A CEO for a tech company tells his engineers what to design, if they design a good product, who gets the praise? It’s the CEO of course and not the engineers. So what exactly is your point?
Oh Im sorry
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
THATS VERY REPETITIVE. BUT YOU GOT THE NERVE TO COME FOR BEY. #GoSuckSeveralDicksYOUWhore
I have the nerve to come at Bey because Bey stans were coming for Riri, what, you can dish it but you cant take it?

Beyonce may not write all of her songs but damn, at least she knows how to co-write. Beyonce even wrote and co-wrote/co-produced songs on Destiny’s Child’s “Survivor” and “Destiny’s Fulfilled” Albums. She did the same thing for her solo projects. CAN RIHANNA SAY THE SAME THING, CLEARLY NOT *Stares at the list of song writers above* SMFH
Ever since the “irreplaceable” debacle where she BeYAWNce tried to claim she wrote Ne-yo’s song, I do not believe a word that comes out of her mouth when she claims she wrote or co-wrote a song, non of it.
Now here is a list of songs Robyn Fenty has co-written
Birthday Cake (song)
Break It Off
Cockiness (Love It)
Do Ya Thang
Hard
Red Lipstick
Rockstar 101
Rude Boy
Run This Town
Te Amo
Wait Your Turn
Watch n’ Learn
You da One
Birthday Cake (song) flop sold 285k world wide
Break It Off massive flop 140k world wide
Cockiness (Love It) flooooop sold 25k world wide
Do Ya Thang flooooooop uncharted lol uk sale 12. K
Hard FLOOOPP 1.5m
Red Lipstick uncharted flop
Rockstar 101 flop flop flop 200k world wide
Rude Boy 3.5 m world wide
Run This Town 5m world wide that’s king b s amazing husband
Te floooooooooooop 75k world wide
Wait Your Turn 10k world wide
Watch n’ Learn flooooooooooooppp big flop 5k world wide
You da One fooooop uk sake 15k
LOL, I see Blue is cooking up fake figures again.
Birthday cake is certified Gold, to get Gold you need to sell 500K.
You da one is certified Platinum, to get platinum, you need to sell 1M. I rest my case.
Rihanna is raising hell and we can tell
by the way she have went up beside the
Bey Hive’s head by them pulling out Bey’s
stats dah, dah,dah.
Oh sgit that beyflop whatever u say sold 75+ million albums and plus single and DC that’s 200+ million
RG2 tell them b******, remind them and still these numbers have been recorded since she received her international artist of excellent award in 2007 and have never been updated since then. 2007 – 2012… no words
Im sure it will not disappoint, Im looking forward to another tasty rihanna microwave meal
Well at least it has no profanity.Yall complain to much.
so you’re comparing a songs lyrics which you haven’t heard yet to a song that’s already been produce :/ you stay reaching with this girl rita ora, just shows how bitter of a f***** you are and the unprofessionalism of this washed up blog.
I AM ON THE FLOOR @ that DiarrHoeA die-f******-hard stan who named her “Dah Nyew Millaynniawm Kwayn ov PAUGHP”.
The floppage . . . .
The hate . . . .
The self-shading . . . . . . .
. .
. .
THE FLOPPAGE . . . . . . . . .
Rihanna got them big mamma drawers
all tied up in knot’s.
Oncd again, Rihanna doesn’t really have a lyrical song. She says the same thing over and over and over again. Have you heard “Where Have You Been” “Red Lipstick” “Cockiness”…smh
Yes, I’ve also heard “fool in love”, “stupid in love”, “unfaithful”, “russian roulette”, “California king bed”, “cold case love”, “farewell”, “the last song”, “cry”, “good girl gone bad” to name a few. Have a seat for every song I have listed.
have a seat for every 1 that wasnot released as a single or written by her…………………….yeah b**** go ahead and drink your flopage while i sip on 16 grammy’s
The same thing over and over has been selling and have
topped the charts in over twenty countries before check the “CRE’S”.
I’ll be so glad when ROC NATION stops sending TGJ a check for Rita Ora because NOBODY IS CHECKING FOR HER.
Damn lol
doesn’t make any difference , he just managed to make everyone dislike Rita with a passion.
she’s cool and i have everything she did so far , but he don’t help rita. the most painful thing you can do to an artist is to associate/link/compare them to another artist especially if that another artist is more popular/have a bigger international fanbase than the new artist.
@POP ROYALTY amen.

Right ok nice lyrics but I’m ready for this F****** SONG #DIAMONDS,
&Sam no one cares I bet you diamonds will slay radioactive
OMG i love Sia ok i will be checking for this song now…
😀 #Diamonds will slay>
B**** it won’t sell
We will see if it sells are not, time will tell
now want it.
This is s***! So repetitive
Sooooooooooooooo
@X….
The unreleased diamonds already SLAYS radioactive…
we found love or where have you been doesnt have the best lyrics but they’re her biggest some of her biggest hits to date i dont get the whole releasing lyrics things whats the point when the song isnt out yet!!
we found love, yes. but where have you been? biggerst hits? rihanna?
As much as I cant stand Rihanna’s antics, I dont know why you all havent learned by now. Everyone said the same thing when We Found Love released. “Its whack”, “Its repetitive” “Another generic pop song”, “It’ll flop” etc etc. And then look what happened. So I wouldnt be so quick to call something (especially of Rihanna’s) a flop before even hearing the song… Just saying..
*blinks*……………………..*blinks*…………………..(decides to not give a f***)………………………*walks away*
you gave a f*** enough to write a response…..boo.
*Tamar voice*
Rihanna needs to mature and grow up. This is kiddie to me…..It seems to me like she’s just singing anything that will sell to catchy type people. Don’t compare her to Beyonce. NO comparison needed. Check Bey track record, she’s did, done, and grown the hell up……
rihanna is 24, beyonce is 31, bye.
when beyonce was 24 she released dangerouly in love.
What ? Algebwa?
its a use of english, to validate a statement like, she says she doesn’t know much about it hence she cant even pronounce it #stupidhoe
Hmmmm we all could do some growing Up.
LMAO i did say that Radioactive sounded like watered down Rihanna music when i heard it SMH
It’s Rihanna. It’s going to be fun. She sends SO many of you into a tail spin. It’s pop, it’s not that serious.
Anyway, looking forward to ‘Diamonds.” 🙂
typical uninspired cliche lyrics that will no doubt make her fans think she is deep.
Uninspiring , less let the public speak and see what they
think by this time next week.
Lmao OmG rihanna done rip off Rita AGAIN kelly where you w**** Your dad done rapping you
Rita little midget ass need to be Ripped Off and
any one else who tries to ride on Rihanna’s
Skirt Tails to the music promise land.
Rihanna maybe you should wait until I’m done with Talk that Talk because I don’t remember me telling you I was finished. Like I just got into cockiness. This is coming from someone that trashes Rihanna daily. I like some of her album. Lol. Goat
K.
Now I’m too busy in my work , can we just hear the damn song and judge for ourselves ?
Rihanna’s classic will always be “umbrella” , i hate this song ” shocking , right ?” , but yeah , that’s her classic song.
and i see the similarities @sam mentioned Btw. but maybe “radioactive” was rejected by rihanna first then rita sang it and after that rihanna thought about UPGRADING IT, most of the songs in ORA are Rih-Jects , right ? 😈
Rita’s Only memorable song ” RIP” is a Rih-Ject , remember that dear @sam 😉
… majority of rihanna song in the past were rihjects, these were written for other artist and she sang them. That is what happens in music songs go around and some artist take what they like and some pass it on. That is the cycle in music. Can you clearly state your point? cause this one makes no sense.
my points is : Rita songs can be /are already re/rih-Jects, so this one to be mentioned in this post is not so important.
and i don’t have time to discuss rihanna now. actually being a honest rihanna fan , i’m not so moved by the lyrics as everyone. i want to see the whole product ” the song” , i’m not here for snippets/lyrics/etc …. , i want QUALITY from her this era , if she won’t give me this one this era , i will pass her entire era all at once , cuz to me , it will be so f*****’ repetitive !! especially TTT could have been Loud:reloaded !!!
BTW NIKI MINAJ DIRECTOR said itt is a classic just like people said LOUD was a thriller. lol. Yess NIKI DIRECTOR. A song is not a classic becasue it is sucessfull people. WFL is not a classic and many others. Research the word classic and by the lyrics of this song it is not a classic it may be sucessful but damn a classic?
no one take nicki seriously , let alone one of her ppl.
these lyrics dont even make sense, just like the rest of her songs. the worst part is, she didnt even write it.
Yeah Truth and perhaps, the song lyrics…Happy trails
and the lyrics,,,still waters run deep don’t mean jack shyt to you lame ass either. What about the lyrics to telephone i bet you see them lyrics as Classic, Right. What about,,,,the lyrical content to “Live Your Life”.
What will it take for Navy to see that this chick has NO!!! Growth!!!. She’s coming out with BEATS to a song dedicated to Chris Brown. Rihanna is getting scary with this stalking stuff and Navy is even scarier continuing to support this mess.
Yeaaah the navy knows that there’s no Growth With Rihanna
and that My Deery is why and how Rihanna sold out the 02 arena’s full 10 times and yes it is mentioned in the music
His-To-Rih Books, stay pressed, Whyohwhy.
Rihanna is singing songs that cater to her fanbase, when will you people understand that? If you are looking for a more matured sound support Jennifer Hudson, Monica, Brandy, Kelly Rowland,Keri Hilson and Keisha Cole. Rihanna is young she can do whatever she likes, the only time you can start talking about maturity and Rihanna in the same sentence is after she turns 30 in the mean time let her enjoy her youth.
Rihanna has been Spitting Grown Up lyrical content since almost day one, and i know that make many of you bitter. But just think Who out there have got a song like “Rude Boy” who? Who have a song like “Men Down” and tell Us who have got a song like “S &M” and who have got a Music Video where you see Rihanna walking Her dog Perez and he c***’s his leg and pees on the fire hydrant acting like a puppy on a leach. Rihanna’s Music Video “We Found Love” was/is mind blowning, therefore all i can say is Rihanna is/has been TAPPING into new territories for quite some time now and she love seeing how she can expand herself and she’s unfazed by the small talk Simple minded people do trying to block her at every door.
