Though her skill as a vocalist is still MIA, it’s safe to say that Rihanna‘s new LP ‘Unapologetic’ is shaping up to be her strongest yet.
Featuring contributions from Def Jam’s Elijah Blake, momentum for the album will be sure to rise today with the release of footage, pulled from its lead video ‘Diamonds‘.
Riri’s well oiled machine in action below…
As it stands, the LP’s pre-order sales has secured it an iTunes spot of #14, while ‘Diamonds‘ shines bright at #4 on the singles chart.
So, with this in mind, here’s hoping forthcoming live performances don’t wreck her chances of landing her first US #1.
She looking GREAT!
RIHANNA WAIST IS NOTHING LIKE THAT!!!! SHE IS NO BEYONCE – THAT GAS CLEARLY BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED!
@#BEENTRILL
This is photoshopped and it looks horrible and Beyonce’s belly is ugly, let’s not.

“Though her skill as a vocalist is still MIA” LMAO Oh Sam

achieve,,,,
Best Selling Artist of Singles in the UK of the Year; 2nd Best Selling Artist of Albums in 2011,,,,

We don’t see a lot! 🙁
But it looks good, the riot, the apocalyptic theme, the indestructible love, I can see it, and enjoy!
WHO BODY IS THAT?
Rihanna is NOT CURVY
PHOTOSHOP FAIL
Anyway this girl don’t have no #1 Albums
Ke$ha and Bruno are keeping her from going #1 on the Hot 100.
She don’t write or produce none of her “hits”
Most of her biggest singles are COLLABORATIONS, WHICH IS PROOF THAT SHE ALWAYS RELIES ON ANOTHER ARTIST TO GO #1
like when S&M was flopping and she used Britney auto tune ass
Let’s just face it
the girl CANNOT
sing,
write,
dance,
produce
she CAN
go back to a man who beat her ass
not rehearse
go on stage and sound a mess
promote drug use
WHY YOU MAD THOUGH ?
After selling more than 37 million albums and a whopping 146 million singles WW, the best digital singer of all time, Rihanna, the song-writer and the executive producer, comes back with her unique versatile voice on her much anticipated album UNAPOLOGETIC.

Rihanna might not ever be able to do it up like Taylor swift did it But Rih was still able to push 1Million in her first month and “The Navy” will take It Bytches,,,,

Yeah that has been photoshoped LOOL
They Photo shop a lot to me

pictures look Fawless and if they
have to photoshop the pictures

HOW THE F*** did S&M flop????
who said that ??
People do worry about her private life more
then they should, for real. Good to see Rih
gaining her weight back, I know she’s eating
good and wants that “S*** Tight Booty Back”.
@I JUDGE FLOPS,,,,, Knock yourself all the way out
because you are always Dug In on all of the Rihanna post trying to Shyt Talk Rihanna’s Navy and we will Pick that Ass like we Pick a Chicken who is ready for the frying pan. All of the shyt talking yo ass do and still yet Rihanna has accomplished some things in Her career that have not been accomplished by many who came well before Rihanna ass LANDED on the shores of the United States.
Rihanna is in her own lane doing her own thing, and while Rihanna have no Beef with Nicki’s Fake Booty Pad wearing Ass its always Nicki’s Fans on a Rihanna post trying to shy talk RIHANNA’S ACCOMPLISHEMENTS, YOU dirty ass bum bytches.
PS
And I saw some place where Nick’s ass was Huff with Rih because She feels that Rih is the one who caused the Rift between Drake and Chris, and to tell the truth it’s none of Nicki’s Fake Shyt talking Assses Business at all. Nicki need to stay in her lane and Nick’s fans need to LEAD, FOLLOW ARE MOVE THE F** OUT OF THE NAVY’S WAY…..
@I Judge Flops,,,,,
Try to make this wrong and say it didn’t Happen,,,,
One of only four other artists in Hot 100 history to have had three or more songs remain at #1 for at least seven weeks.
@I Judge Flops and if Nicki’s ass isn’t one of the Four
that is named then yo ass is at a loss for yo daily doses of

See no matter how yall tries to shyt talk Rihanna efforts she still can be found on the lists, cnd charts that counts,,,
true
so so
Mixture of You Lost Me and Run the World… But i just wish she would just take a break and let fans miss her instead of just popping out everything she can get 🙂
She will never copy a beyonce video. Beyonce does not make artistic videos. F*** you!
There are themes behind Beyonce’s videos that go with her songs and Diva, sweet dreams, single ladies were artistic. And btw, I think it’s rihanna’s director that should receive the credit. Not rihanna. That’s just like confusing actors and directors. Actors do not write the script, think of the plot, and have very little say about what goes on. Rihanna is no different.
@prettigurl,,,,Beyonce just might have Themes behind her Videos But its Rihanna who has the Most of all of them Youtube/Vevo Views,,,
Rihanna’s Youtube, Vevo Views is at a Staggering 2.7 Billion Views and Beyonce’s them video and Her Strippes moves don’t mean Jack Shyt in the Final Scheme of things, Bum Bytches…

RTW was a global flop. Why they f*** would she copy it? She has done desert videos before: rehab and hard, both of which are much better than ANY / EVERY BEYONCE VIDEO.
Just because she is popping out constant, she does everything and everywhere.. Even when she get’s beaten by them…. People here alway’s call her the Music w****, since she just wants to be everywhere and it’s a shame 🙂
I like her music but she should take a break and come back….
No reason to say f*** you if you don’t agree, move on girl
Nooooooo Rih don’t need to take a break
from the world because her many fans/navy loves
what she is doing and to those who feel she need to take
a break, why don’t you take a break away from Rihanna because the majority of Us , love this Era.
#29 on billboard was RTW. That’s not a flop compared to stupid h** which debuted at #81 and it received good views and she slays the hell out of that performance. Stop hatin. Ur fave could never.
agree wticha

What ??
You are jealous! She is winning. Her LP is not even out and it already nearly top 10 on itunes, while Diamonds is no.4. LOL LOL LOL Rita Ora could never. Even though Rita Ora is on a forcefull promo campaign, labrinth and Robbie williams own her ass – as well as the wanted, and Misha B , and none of these acts are even promoting their single.
Looks like the UK is getting sick and tired of Rita Ora and her desperation . LOL at her latest PR stunt, wearing 5 ugly clown ass outfits in one day is failing to generate sales. Now, Rita is doing a concert in the UK – to try and sell that flop song.
Back to Rih! This is her BEST album and it be her biggest – even if does not go number 1 , judging by the pre order, she is gonna sell crazy LOL LOL Trey songz had a number 1 LP – where is his s*** now?
Video for diamonds comes on thurs.
Sam, when does ORA come out in the USA? What is the exact date? Betcha, Rih’s LP will outsell ORA
MOTS peaked at 10 in the USA and was gold in the USA in 16 weeks. I will be watching what ORA DOES.

Rishitta will never have 2 consecutive #1 albums like QUEEN … keep dreaming, ugly…. KI! U rishitta fans are a cackle!
*PISSES ON U*
Nicki Minaj at least has personality. Rihanna has none and depends on looks and lets not act like Rih is the whitney houston of the geneation with her vocals. If nicki is a fad so is Rih. Ppl only care about her singles and image TBH.

Emeli Sandé revealed her delight at hearing the track she wrote “Half of Me” had been included on Rihanna’s new album Unapologetic.
Rihanna is due to release her seventh album ‘Unapologetic’ on November 19 and Sandé recently revealed that she had penned a song that will be included on the Deluxe version.
Speaking to the Daily Record, the Scottish singer has now said that the ‘Umbrella’ star called her a “poet” after hearing the track. She said:
“I wrote for Rihanna’s new album that’s coming out soon. I sent songs to Stargate in New York who work with Rihanna and they asked me to finish the song for her. I met her in LA and she told me how much the song meant to her. It was great to hear that there was an emotional connection. She said, ‘I don’t know what you have been through but you are a poet and this song has really moved me’. Hearing that from Rihanna was pretty amazing.”
The ‘Next To Me’ singer added: “It moved her a lot because it is about what you see of Rihanna on TV being half of who she is. There is a lot more you don’t understand. Lyrically, I’m proud of the song and can’t wait to hear what she has done with it. I haven’t heard it yet. I’m going to have to go buy it to hear it.”

Kate Moss & Rihanna Shoot for V Magazine
Insider source told me that the shoot was for V Magazine, NOT for Vogue and as source tells it’s 100% info!
This fashion shoot, apparently was down to Kate, with her being such a fan of Rihanna’s music, she managed to wave her fashion wand in the right places.
Shoot was done in a secret location in London. A source explained in a interview: ”Kate’s a big fan of Rihanna and loves her attitude. Plus, she’s got one of her favorite snappers on board. It’s the ideal scenario.
Who the f*** is Beyonce and Rita ORA? LOL at Beyonce going on instagram; copying bad girl riri, by calling herself ‘ baddie bey ‘ and thirsting it up on the camera tryna be Rih.
PS: Beyonce making fun of the whote people who voted for mitt Rommey ( ” bye mitches ” ) is gonna be the end of her career. She has pushed this Obama thing on whites far too long and they are gonna get revenge and shut her down, in the way whites shut down Janet and Kanye. When whites get angry with cocky blacks, they shut them down for life. The superbowl the moment when whites go HAM on her. Big mistake Beyonce. ! Where is her dad? She lets white f*** her up. First this Rita Ora, now trying go to war with Mitt Rommeny and the whites who back him.
Oh well, another black career bites the dust. Too bad, Beyonce.
Lmao baddie bey? hahaha oh b**** you wanna be bad now I cant
Have you seen how ” baddie bey ” is thirsting on insta’? At least when Rih gets down like that – she is BEING HERSELF! BUT beyonce is tryna be Bad gal Ri more and more each day.
@RIHANNA BLACK MADONNA,,,,,I Saw Bey and she seems so out of place, she is no Rihanna by no form of the Imagination. She’s Ms want to Desperately Pray for everybody to love her and praise her because she have been groomed to think and feel like she’s the best of the best as far as all of the Black Artist,s go.
And Rihanna says not so fast Beyonce, because I am Rihanna and i will demand and get my share of that Shine that’s up for Draws. Bey is listening to all of the Media talking about how Rihanna is the Social Networking Queen and the Navy all of Us know BEYONCE AINT Having it because Beyonce gets very angry and Bitter when Rihanna is out Shining Her .
Oh you mad Romney lost? F*** off b****. If he won you would’ve been shoving it all up in our face. You and Donald Trump can go suck a big fat one

Susanna Martinez etc – all these people are ethnic, so f*** your race card. They love god and Believe in marriage for man and WOMAN alone. Plus, she have Gov. Christie and Gov. Jeb bush, so watch us BOUNCE BACK in 4 years .
YOU WILL NOT know what hit your ghetto – gimme – dat – welfare – ass.
You know what h**, Obama winning will not affect me, in the way it will affect you hood ass. My folks are in the top % – so the economy and unemployment will never affect us. illegal immigrants are never upper middle class, so they do not take our jobs – they take jobs from poor blacks. So, in fact, I laugh at those dummies who voted Obama. Especially if they are poor and black.
You just signed your death warrant. LOL LOL serves you write for not using your brain to vote. Oh well. someone in life has to suffer in the economic climate, glad it is not MY family and I.
Girl bye. Im not on any government assistance and never have been so nice try boo. The dems still run the senate.
Read it and weep b****. Look at Pres Obama and VP Joe Biden all over the news. When I was in Time Square last night the whole street celebrated. I bet this has your racially confused ass boiling.
Even people in China, India, Cuba, Russia, and Britain rejoiced when he won. Obama is the most powerful man in the world now deal h**.
I bet if you ask Sammy Sosa his skin lightening secrets he’ll be happy to share you disgusting smut.
Rep control the house, and we have john Boehner who will vito anything Obumma.
I am not mad. Like I have said. I am in the top% so the economy and unemployment will NEVER AFFECT me. I laugh at those who will suffer when jobs are sihipped to come of the countries you mentioned. LOL LOL good luck paying the mortgage and student loans.
HA HA HA HA

But Rihanna has always been her own person.They are nothing alike
Rihanna isn’t the life support for any one but,,,

And Rita Ora has been pronounced dead on arrival. RIP to the girl you use to see. LOL at the irony of her singing that now she has no career.
Rih is coming back more harder than gggb – she is bringing it! Did you hear about Iconic supermodel, Kate Moss requesting to do a photoshoot / cover with Rih? That is how bad ass she is. Legendary supermodels WANT TO F**** WITH HER!
Kate moss if from England, how comes she did not ask Rita Ora? Beyonce has been out longer…..how comes Kate moss did not request her?
RIH IS THE QUEEN OF POP.
Nicki not succeeding with her “RAP SONGS?”
DEAD !!!!
nickieleaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Nicki-Minaj-RIAA-nickieleaks.png
all if not most of the singles from 4 still charted fairly. Dance for you is still hot on urban radio despite it coming out last year and she had a number 1 on r&b charts with party. Considering r&b wasn’t the flavor of the moment you could at least give her more credit but you are a rih fan. Biased fuks. It’s not like TTT was any better!!!
Girl what about the BB Hot 100??
@JJFAN,,,,You are so right On
and Diamonds moved another 340,00
copies and is still #2 on the Global World
Charts, But I have a feeling the Haters will not believe that
they want Beyonce to be Number two and Bey don”t even have New Music Out that is just how hateful the haters are toward Rihanna.
yes yeeeeeeeeees
Her CD comes out in less than 2 weeks yet she still hasn’t released the video? This is worse promotion than Brandy did with 2/11. Im sorry but I dont see “Unapologetic” opening up with big numbers. This may be her lowest debut yet. Most people don’t even know she’s coming out with a new CD. Her eras need to be spaced out further apart. Anyways the video seems interesting.
Her cd is at 14 on itunes. On the pre orders alone. Your fave could never, h**. Brandy? LOL LOL brandy wishes she could have a career like Rihanna at 18, that what her old ass has now.
Most people don’t even know she’s coming out with a new CD. Her eras need to be spaced out further apart. Anyways the video seems interesting.
Did you read, Sam’s article you dumb s***? ( you must be black, clearly you cannot read ) THE LP is number 14 on itunes on pre oder ALONE.
B**** when did I say anything about Itunes? Im talking about people actually going out and buying the HARD COPY IN STORES. Now hop off my c*** d***.
THE ALBUM IS NOT OUT TILL THE 11 / 19 you dumb f***. Act like white person and read the ARTICLE . THE FACT THAT IT IS SELLING more than keyshia Cole on Pre orders is enough.
Well I believe that Rihanna’s albums will do very well in its first week. You have Eminem fans, Chris fans & Rihanna’s so hopefull it will get the 1# afterall.
just because EM AND Cb are features will not mean their fans will buy the album you big dumbass stupid f***
I cant with you. You clearly did not read what *I* wrote @ RIHANNA BLACK MADONNA.
#ImDone
so much hate
Um Rihanna has a Top 5 hit. Brandy had a #5 large with a diet coke gurl bye
Lmao! I didn’t say it was going to do horrible. I said it will debut lower than some of her other albums. But what do I know? I guess we’ll wait until it’s actually released.
It will flop…KI! KI!

“Rihanna is cliche of everything that has ever been disingenuous about the music business. A soulless Barbie Doll, with plastic doll parts, who was plucked off the streets of no where and put on–simply because the outfit was her size. In other words: commerce…created and puppet mastered by money grubbing music executives as a tool to co-opt what is currently popular for fast cash, and pandered to the dingiest of music listeners who are not discerning enough to care.
You have to give the label, the management, the A&R people, the songwriters, the producers, the directors and the thousand other magicians involved their credit for being savvy enough to outfit this garden-variety debutante with material and promotion to keep her afloat…but let’s be real, there is nothing ‘special’ or ‘unique’ about Rihanna, herself. She has little talent, no personality or strong image, nor does she command the stage. Anyone could have been cast in the role Rihanna plays; she just lucked out. For all intents and purposes, Rihanna is akin to a can of Hormel Chili; basically a canned product with a label (and a ‘sell by’ date) on it.
The bottom line is that Rihanna was not built to last and is very “replaceable.” This is why she does not take breaks, and repetitiously puts out a generic by-the-numbers pop album every year. Being that she has little ‘star power,’ in order to sustain her momentum she has to continually strike while the iron is hot, while employing a multitude of petty ‘stunts’ to get attention (tacky wigs, brothel attire, referencing her tumultuous relationship Chris Brown years later.) The moment she sits down to catch her breath, ten more record label assembled chippies will be thrown into the ring and the last two standing will be the next “Rihanna.”
In 2012, no more do we need windup doll acts like Rihanna getting on camera and posing like an androidian cast-off from America’s Next Top Model, while vapidly bleating over an empty dance track, hanging around longer than the fifteen minutes that is typically allotted for manufactured pop stars such as her. It’s just getting sad now, and the quality is dipping. Gone are the pseudo-interesting songs like “Umbrella,” now she is peddling random, monotonous dead air like “We Found Love.” The girl has run her course; at this point she is on autopilot and is fast becoming the equivalent of a skipping record.”

‘anybody can replace Rihanna’ not everybody can sing : pop, dance, r’n’b, alternative, reggae. Beyonce, gaga, katy, kesha, icki minaj, Ciara, Brandy, Keyshia Cole, Britney CANT ( and this is not about who is better blablabla…) #fact .She has hits in Pop, dance, r’b’n not only in Dance music, so you are wrong for saying that.
Also what is the guarantee to be successful by dropping an album every year ? Rihanna did it and congrats to her ….Rihanna has a unique versatile voice and her own style that Rita Ora wanna steal for example….
D
Nicki Minaj
-Rap (Check), Pop (check), Dance (check), R&B (check), Reggae (check). TF you talking about? lmao
R&B=Right by my side, Make a Baby,

tru
u chat crap! big time
@DTG,,,While you and your sourse might just be right,
through all of that RIHANNA Was still able to do some other
things that she got paid for and credit for….
With the global release of her sixth Island Def Jam studio album Talk That Talk in November 2011, Rihanna took another giant step in her journey to dominate popular
music and fashion worldwide.
@DTG,,,,
Regardless to what you say,,,,Hater
Talk That Talk’s first
single, “We Found Love” (written and produced by, and featuring Scottish musician Calvin Harris) was a #1 hit in some 20 territories (including the U.S., UK, Canada, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand, and more), with too many gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications to count.
DTG,,,,
Regardless to what you say,,,,Hater
In addition
“We Found Love” was by far the biggest single of Rihanna’s career to date, spending 10 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., besting her previous record of seven weeks apiece at #1 for “Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z) back in 2007, and T.I.’s “Love Your Life” (featuring Rihanna) in 2008.
DTG,,,,
Regardless to what you say,,,,Hater
We Found Love made
history as Rihanna’s 11th #1 hit on the Hot 100, and her 20th Top 10 hit. At age 23, Rihanna became the youngest artist in Billboard chart history to earn 11 Hot 100 #1 hits
DTG,,,,
Regardless to what you say,,,,Hater
As reported by Billboard.com, she collected her 20 Hot 100 Top 10 singles faster than any other solo artist, six years and four months. The time span beat Madonna’s previous record (by five months), and placed Rihanna second only to the Beatles.
DTG,,,,
Regardless to what you say,,,,Hater
We Found Love also
notched Rihanna her 16th #1 Billboard Dance single. “We Found Love”’s success placed Rihanna in a very rarefied field as just the fifth woman to earn ‘20-and-over’ Top 10 hits, alongside Whitney Houston (with 23 career Top 10s), Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson (27 each), and Madonna at the top (37).
DTG,,,,
Regardless to what you say,,,,Hater
Talk That Talk’s World wide
sales of more than 4.5 million units and counting (as of early 2012), brought Rihanna’s worldwide album sales to more than 30 million.
Looney Tune,,,,
whyohwhy
The church is packed!!! and the Preacher has spoken!!! Aman… No hating there just pure truth.. Strip technology and designer clothes you will have a everyday average chick… That writing was beautiful I just cant stop expressing how true that statement is.
@WhyohWhy,,,, Perhaps the preacher has spoken and
perhaps the preacher spoke the truth, but at the end of
the day Rihanna is still that artist who is #7 on that list of best tours of 2011 with 90 million haul and yo ass can Amen the preacher all day and all night that is the Truth and Facts and that is what count no matter how yo hating asses slices it, bytch ass hater.
cde
I can’t say I fully agree…but you went in and let have….in an articulate and eloquent way…not like some of the ratchet, banal comments that usually fill this blog…in fact, I vote for you to be the moderator and do all the writing for this site..I’m just saying….
PS
Yes DTG,,,,, would be a good writer for the site but then on the
other hand I think “That Grape Juice” Staff do a Super Job
of Writing and being the Web Master for their Own Site, and for that Reason along While often time they get down and Dirty with Rih, Rih Articles I have learned how to take the “Bitter with the Sweet” and Hope for a better Day.
And while DTG Articles that is Copied and Paced only on Rihanna & GaGa I Find it strange that out of all the Cazillion of artist from all walks of life that the site that wrote this article did not find any Other artist to do a Survey so to say Other then Rihanna and Gaga. But its all good because at the end of the day Gaga & RIHANNA ARE STILL DOING THE DAM THING, BIG TIME, BYTCHES!!!!!!
HALF AMAZIN
That entire comment was cut and pasted from another blogger who wrote it at least a year and a half ago. If you’re gonna throw shade…don’t plagairize it.
@HALF AMAZIN TRUE!!!!!!
Beyonce’s Weave
WOW CHHHHILLLLLLLEEEEE
@BEYONCE’S WEAVE,,,,These Bytches are beyond help,
Rihanna keep then Upset and wore out trying to beat the
“Hound Dog Hell” Out of everything she do.
kourthney
couldnt have said it better she’s very fortunate to be where she is the sad thing is tho the ones that are trying to produce real music are the one being shut down
@kourtney Its all a lie even if you could
have said it better, bum bytche.
And another thing kourtney its not sad that real music
is being shut down Bytche its all about something that
is very simple, and it’s called “Supply & Demand” and
since all of you can throw Bytche parties on and about Rihanna and her musical performances and how she sit and cross her long legs that it a Personal Problem and how
Rihanna performs and sounds will always be “SUBJECTIVE” BYTCHES,,,,
TinaMinaj
Nicely said. The saddest thing is people, aka the navy, still buy into this fad/gimmick…case in point LAX
….
soa

MUSIC FROM THE SUN- 1 MILLION WW
A GIRL LIKE ME- 2 MILLION WW
GOOD GIRL GONE BAD- 8 MILLION WW
RATED R – 3 MILLION WW
LOUD – 8 MILLION WW (IT REALLY WON’T SOLD 5.5)
TTT- 3 MILLION WW
= 25 million albums with 6 albums
STOP INFLATING HER SALES TO MAKE HER LOOK BETTER. SHE ONLY HAS 2 ERAS THAT HAVE SOLD MORE THAN 4 MILLION WW.
damn ke$sha sold more than r**** lol
never mind lol
Kesha has never outsold Rih. Her sales are low, considering how famous she is.
No s*** b****

‘Sorry this video is not available in your location’…Your welcome!
her waist is photoshopped within an inch of its life in the first photo!
Where is that wings looking tatt above her stomach?
Ok I think I see it. Looks like they air brushed the tatt under her breast.
ya,,
Talk that Talk was a great album, but a messy era. Why “You Da One” and “Talk that Talk” were released is beyond me. It shoulda have been:
“We Found Love”
“Birthday Cake”
“Where Have You Been”
“Watch N Learn”
I’m hoping with UNAPOLOGETIC that they choose four singles and go hard. No “urban only” singles. No “international” singles. No “pop-only” singles. Pick four SINGLES with FOUR videos and promote them. It doesn’t matter if the song is MORE pop or MORE urban, b**** it’s a single either play it or don’t. Buyt it or don’t. I’m sick of artists throwing out every song they can gurl bye.
And would it kill them to turn out a hot official remix? And also NO re-releases and NO new album come next November. Four singles, four videos.
“Diamonds”
“Fresh Off the Runway”
“Right Now”
“Numb”
A “great album”???? BYEEEEE.
This from a ho named “prettygirlrock” your fave never could. I suppose Keri ‘strangerbitch’ Hilson and her flop albums are just a legendary smash epic epic legend smash flawless. Uh huh. Get your life b****. All the seats at every stadium.
@JER Preach and school their asses,,,
Cosign LMAO,,,, You told their ass,,,,
REGARDLESS of how DEEP and PROFOUND she tries to make this video APPEAR to be…….
unaFLOPogetic WILL and still SHALL FLOP!!!!!!!
DIARRHEOAmonds IS still the WORST REVIEWED SONG of her SLUTTY CAREER and IS FLOPPING HARD.
THIS H** just DOES NOT LEARN.
unaFLOPogetic: rated FLOP 2.0 and FLOP-that–FLOP’s sales x2 = FLOP. FLOP. FLOP.
GOOD LUCK riGONNORHEOa.
KIIIIIIII. KIIIIIIIII. KIIIIIIIII.
😉 😉 😉
Diamonds is actually a good song. Don’t be so bitter. She finally made a legitimate song. TTT era was a terrible flop. WFL was as generic as ever. Tis is a new sound from her and it suits her well. Sia did a nice job.
@perttigurl Thanks for that,,,it is a decent
song and very cool , different for a change,,,
My fave tracks from My fave LP this year:
Numb feat em – pure sexiness
Looveeeeeee song with future – Trap love at it’s best
Pour it up – Rih is a rappper
Phresh out the runway – Rihanna brought the hood out from David Guetta. That is how artistic she is. No one can make David Guetta make a hood club joint.
Get it over with – I think this a pharelle track and I love it. I swear, you can hear pharelle in the back ground.
All the ballads – she has a unique vocal tone and vocally grown.
NO love allowed – the reagge track
The CB track
Jump – pony from Ginuwine.
I love the whole f****** album, excluding the David guetta dance track. Best album on the year – her best album to DATE.
POP, ballads, rock, reggae, rnb, TRAP muzik, hip hop, dance, funk. Your faves could never. This is her Velvet rope and Ray of light. She is now on the levels of janet and madonna. At 24. This album at 24 is more artistic than The album, B day, Beyonce made at 24.
Oh, and it is the album EVERYONE is talking about. ATRL is obsessed with the LP. no one is talking about Lotus, By xtina, or anything about Ora. She got pushed back and no on cares. No one is talking about kesha new LP or Ciara / keyshia cole new LP.
And I love Diamonds too. But the Em and Pharell track serve up the s** needed to get us through the holiday seasons.
Say DAMN Riri…. is that her body???…. I mean i knew she was s*** but she killin in this pic.
I cant even see the video =( …. But Diamonds is almost annoying to listen to now. But it looks like it might get to number 1……so congrats to the Navy
It’s good to see another Bey Fan not hate on this girl.
I heard that BEYONCE CARTER,,,,
Rih is better than Beyonce at 24. The level of artistic creativity and diversity Rih has in her music, style, and visuals are 10 years ahead of Beyonce at 24.
Compare the videos and songs from B day to Unapologetic. Both were 24.
Rih at 24 is above and Beyond beyonce. at 24.
“artistic creativity” but she never wrote/produced any of the songs. Beyonce at 24 was singing with legends like Prince.
@KING BEY,,,,Bey was 24 seven years ago, and that was in
2005, and is the early part of 2005 Rihanna was still in the Caribbeans singing to the top of her voice with her Hair brush Microphone….It wasn’t until later in the year when Rihanna was just Kicking it off.
Beyonce had started Her SOLO Career in 2003 which means that Beyonce was Pipping Hot in 2005 and coming
from one of the Biggest Girl Groups ever ,that Was Huge,,,,Now take yo M***** hating ass back to the Awards and Accolades that Beyonce had Achieved in
2005 when Bey was 24 and you are LYING THROUGH YO TEETH AND OUT YO ASS BECAUSE THERE’S NO WAY THAT BEYONCE HAD ACCOMPLISHED AS MUCH AS RIHANNA HAD ACCOMPLISHED AT THE AGE OF 24 SAME AGE RIHANNA IS RIGHT NOW, YOU LYING ASS WIPE,,,,
Honey, When Beyonce was 24 she was shitting on Rihanna”s Career. DEAD B****, You f****** tried it.
Why hasn’t Rihanna Written ONE Of her big hits?
Why Hasn’t Rihanna Performed with any legends?
What does rihanna have to fall back on when she gets older? Not that Glass-Shattering ass voice of hers.
Child have a f****** seat.
@KING BEY How was Beyonce SHITTING on Rihanna’s
career at age 24 when Beyonce had been a Solo artist since
2003 that is the year she went Solo, and I only have to Shake Yo Memory just a tad Bit to try and help you GTFO with that Bull shyt about How Bey as Shitting on Rih’s caree at 24 here we go,,,
Rihanna @ Age 24,,,,,Bey Hive, Haters,,,
Rihanna,,,,Biggest Digital Seller ,,, Ever
Rihanna,,,,11 Number 1’s and the most this Decade
And Rihanna made History because she got her 11
at a Younger age then Mariah got her first 11 Number 1’s
Rihanna,,,,#2 Biggest Single Seller in the Uk 2nd only
to Maddona,,,,who’s number 1.
Rihanna Only Artist to sell the O2 Arena full 10x times since it was Re-opened.
Rihanna made it to Number 7 of the best selling Tour

Rihanna Named Number one Pop Queen for the last two Decades, last twenty Years As Named By Billboard..

@KING Bey Not to Bust yo Bubble but Hey,,,,,,,,,,,
Stop Lying, Please, Ass Wipe….Stop lying and while Beyonce has done very good in her career for the time and Her Stardom don’t let yo Mouth Over Load that Bytch Ass of yours, and another thing WHY LIE BYTCH???????
@KING BEY,,,,How is beyonce shitting on Rihanna’s career
when Rihanna has sold over 20 Million Units in the Uk and
counting 14 million singles and 6 million albums and counting?
How was Beyonce shitting on Rihannas career when at age 24 Rihanna have over 60 Million Facebook Likes making Rihanna the most Popular Artist and the most Liked
dead or Alive
Rihanna has over 26 Million Twitter Followers
Rihanna has over 2.7 Billion Youtuve, Vevo Views
Rihanna at age 24 have got 7 singles that has all sold over 3 million copies each…
@KING BEY While I do Respect Beyonce’s Hustle but you are DEAD WRONG IN STATING THAT BEY HAD SHITTED ON RIHANNAS CAREER WHEN SHE WAS 24 SHE HAD DONE VERY WELL FOR HERSELF BEY HAD, BUT YO ASS IS A “LYING WONDER ” OTHERWISE,,,,
@KING BEY,,,,And the Kicker is Rihanna did not
ride in on the Coat-tails Of a Group , Rihanna came
in on Her Own Merit and her williness to work hard and cast her line deep and Rih burned that mid night Oil and the rest is History.
Rihanna came from the Ground Up, Not from the Backs of a strong Force that Used to Be “Destiny Childs” and what is IRONIC is the Fact thay You “WORTHLESS” Ass Wipes are always trying to PITT THE WEIGHT That Beyonce Packed with Her “DC” Yall love combining Beyonce’s sales with “DC” and throwing the whole Nine Yards at Rih, Rih’s S*** ass.
@KING BEY AND ANOTHER THING,,,,,
WHO IS BEYONCE ANY WAYS,,,,
If you begin to name black female pop stars from the 1980s until now, you’ll be hard pressed to find more than a handful. That handful includes names such as Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston. And to be honest, the list doesn’t go much further than that. Of course there have been many black female artists in the past thirty years, but there are very few who have taken over top 40.
Why is this? There’s no science to it. I think it has more to do with marketing and image. For instance, when the world was first introduced to Whitney Houston she had the looks of America’s Sweetheart and the voice of a real diva. By hooking up with record industry legend Clive Davis, he managed to help her maintain a viable MTV presence as well as appearances on national shows that garnered attention from the mainstream media. When Houston peaked in the early 1990s, she was still seen as all-American and wholesome even though she married the troublesome Bobby Brown.
@KING BEY,,,,
WHO IS BEYONCE ANYWAYS,,,,
Janet Jackson also had the same innocence and appeal due to her following that was built from fans of her brothers (Jackson 5) as well as her own fans from her stints on shows like Fame and Good Times. By the time of her breakthrough album in 1986, Janet was seen as sassy and fun-loving but still relatively harmless. It wasn’t until her 1993 album, Janet that people finally saw her as a young woman with a deep and powerful sexuality. However, because of nearly a lifetime in public, she was still highly regarded.
@KING BEY,,,,,
WHO IS BEYONCE ANYWAYSSS,,,,
And then there’s Beyonce who essentially picked up where Janet left off. She fronted the childhood group of friends that became Destiny’s Child and around 2003 launched the solo career which she is currently known for. Destiny’s Child was a powerful launching pad because of their girl-power anthems and sassy attitude. But due to frequent lineup changes and other issues, the group ultimately broke up. It was hoped that Beyonce would continue the legacy of the group’s female-empowered anthems, but she opted to go in a different direction.
@KING BEY,,,,
WHO IS BEYONCE ANYWAYS,,,,,
Beyonce’s success has paved the way for more black females in pop, most notably Rihanna who inevitably drew comparison’s since she was signed by none other than Jay-Z at the tender age of 16. However, for all of Beyonce’s influence Rihanna’s musical style is more of a fusion of dance, pop, and reggae. But the comparisons remain nonetheless.

Are even BETTER GET SONY to release BEYONCE’S TOTAL SALES LIKE DEF JAMS DID RIHANNA’S THAT YALL WANT TO TRY AND KILL THE NAVY FOR TYPING….
OHHHHH BEY HIVE THE UNMERS ARE RIGHT FOR GAGA, ADELE , RIHANNA AND WHY NOT BE RIGHT FOR BEYONCE ARE KEEP TRYING TO P*** ON THE NAVY’S LEGS AND TELL US IT’S RAINING OUT SIDE.
@KING BEY & JAKE,,,,
WHOS BEYONCE,,,ANYHOWS,,,,,
Beyonce released Dangerously in Love in 2003 to rave reviews and multiple Grammy wins. It was hailed as one of the best solo debuts for a young artist in several years and Beyonce managed to stand out in an era filled with young singers leaving their groups in hope of solo success.
BEYONCE’S SOLO CAREER STARTED IN 2003,,,,,
@KING BEY, JAKE BEY HIVE, HATERS,,,
WHO IS BEYONCE,,,,,ANYWAYS,,,,
She set the standard and booty shake for the decade with her debut single, “Crazy in Love.” The go-go inspired beats and the electrifying video garnered a lot of acclaim. She followed that up with successful hit singles.
BEYONCE SET THE BOOTY SHAKE FOR THE DECADE
HER DEBUT SINGLE “CRAZY IN LOVE”.
@KING BEY, BEY HIVE, JAKE, HATERS,,,,
WHOS’ BEYONCE ANYWAYS,,,,
In 2006. she released her second album. The video for the first single,”Deja Vu” evoked images of Josephine Baker and the infamous banana skirt. Beyonce stated that she was paying homage to a fashion icon and trailblazer among African-Americans; she worked closely with Baker’s son even to capture the essence of the look.
“DEJA VU” EVOKED IMAGIES OF JOSEPHINE BAKER,
AND THE INFAMOUS BANANA SKIRT,,,,
@KING BEY, BEY HIVE, JAKE, HATERS,,,,
WHO IS BEYONCE ANYWAYS,,,,,
Beyonce had managed to get away with that, but by the time of her third album, people weren’t hearing it. I Am.. Sasha Fierce garnered multiple Grammys, but that still didn’t silence Beyonce’s critics
Pattern of cheating had many crities calling Foul
on Beyonce’s artistry,,,
@BEY HIVE, HATERS
WHO IS BEYONCE, THOUGH,,,,
“Single Ladies” was a movement in 2008. The dance, the look, all infiltrated pop culture at warp speed. However, it was not without controversy. The hand motions, especially gave way to the fact that Beyonce said she was inspired by the choreography of the legendary of Bob Fosse.
BEYONCE BORROWED FROM BOB FOSSE,,,,
WHAT MAKE IT ALRIGHT FOR BEYONCE’S ASS AND A NO NO FOR OTHERS,,,,
But no matter how many funny SNL parodies pop up, there were steal multiple controversies about that dance among others. While Beyonce continues to say she was inspired by the looks and performances of other icons, no doubt even performing with one of them. This question of stealing has now hit a peak in 2011.
BEYONCE HAD MULTIPLE CONTROVERSIES ABOT
HER DANCE ROUTINE IN sSINGLE LADIES DANCE MOVE,,,,I WONDER WHY?
@GILBERTO, KING BEY, JAKE, BEY HIVE, HATERS
WHO IS BEYONCE THOUGH,,,,,
“Run the World (Girls)” borrowed heavily from African choreography troupes, but the costume looks were said to also to be taken from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, starring Tina Turner.
BEYONCE STILL BORROWING FROM OTHERS,,,,
@BEY HIVE, HATERS,,,,,,
WHO IS BEYONCE,,,,,,THOUGH,,,
Her follow-up videos, “Countdown” and “Love on Top” are also inspired by fellow iconic performances. One being a Belgian artist, another being 80’s boy band New Edition. While Beyonce continues to say it’s all an homage, the real question is where does the originality play in for her as an artist?
BEYONCE STILL BEING INSPIRED BY OTHERS WORK,,,,,,
@BEY HIVE, HATERS
WHO IS BEYONCE, THOUGH,,,,,,
It’s one thing when a younger artist is inspired by an icon to the extent they mimic a look, a movement, or even a sound but it’s another thing when the movements and looks begin to mirror another artist than reveal a distinct persona.
BEYONCE BEING INSPIRED AS USUAL,,,,,
@BEY HIVE, HATERS
WHO IS BEYONCE, THOUGH,,,,,BEING INSPIRED,,,
Beyonce isn’t the only young superstar to face this issue, but others have overcome it. Other pop stars have had the same battles. Britney Spears faced the Madonna comparisons, but in her own right has now built her own pop empire. Usher and Justin Timberlake were both heavily compared to their idol, Michael Jackson but somehow managed to create their own sound while still being true to their influences. Justin Timberlake even re-wrote discarded tracks intended for Michael Jackson’s last studio album, Invincible, for his debut album. And while he faced criticism at first, he later reaped the rewards in the form of a few Grammys. Usher also has had massive success by experimenting with techno and dance music.
BEY HIVE, HATERS, JAKE, GILBERTO,,,,
WHO IS BEYONCE SINCE SHES SEEMS
TO BE INSPIRED A LOT AND SHE BORROWS HEAVLY
FROM MANY OTHER ARTIST,,,,,
And while there is no real way to say what constitutes borrowing or stealing, there is something to be said for forging your own identity or style but almost ten years into being a solo artist, it’s hard to classify something that uniquely applies to Beyonce. Sure she has songs like “Single Ladies” and “Irreplaceable”, but those were written by other artists and collaborators. However, her other songs and videos even seem to resemble too much of artists’ past.
BEY HIVE CLEAN YO OWN DAM HOUSES FIRST BEFORE YOUTRY TO CLEAN THE NAVY’S FORTS,,,,
Rihanna body is nice I must say
“So, with this in mind, here’s hoping forthcoming live performances don’t wreck her chances of landing her first US #1.”
^ It will
The more storyline, the better. No here for beauty shots and “themes”. Not here for dancing. They are moving slow with this video, so it better be good.
The video shows tomorrow. So f***, h**. She is winning on the charts and that rita old h** ora is dead on arrival. She cannot even get shina ya light to number 1, even though she is heavily promoting the song.
Boy, you are nasty. Brining up Rita Ora must make you feel more secure about your fave. You’re a weak b**** if I’ve ever seen one. Who compares their favorite to a NEW artist? Rihanna has been in the game SEVEN years. You fail b****! Next time keep your smart ass comments to yourself, because if you really want to compare her to her true contemporaries, she’ll come off as a high-priced, 360 deal having FLOP who has so little control of her career that she’s forced to release a mediocre album ever 9 months during the busiest shopping week of the year in America to gravel for sales.
Who can compare to a sloppy bish milking being beaten after three years, so desperate to stay relevant that she’s back in a relationship with someone who smashed her face to a pulp. Certainly not Rita Ora, right? Maybe Lady Gaga will do, or Nicki Minaj. How about Beyonce? Oh, I forgot, all of those b****** keep their own money and manage their own careers.
STOP. STOP. STOP.
HA HA I knew the Rita Ora card with the hurt the s*** out of you, now that Rita failed. If Rita had one, you would be singing a different song. You all compared Rita to Rih, but won lost and the other won. You are the weak b****. RIh was f***** beyonce, rita ora etc and nothing you can do can ever stop her reign. HA HA HA HA eXACTLY she has been in the game for 7 years, no wrinkle old white h*** can even dare compete with Rih, Even gaga cannot f*** with Rih and Gaga is great. ha ha ha h IT HURTS you see my b**** Rih win. I love it h**. RITA ORA WILL NOT EVEN HAVE A DEAL OR Label by next year and rih will still be number1. BEYONCE, GAGA AND NICKY CANNOT F*** RIH.
RIH is also doing music, movies and fashion ha ha ha ha ha more fame and money.
HA HA HA HA RITA ORA IS A FLOP WHO WILL GET DROPPED AND RIH REIGH JUTS WONT LET UP
LOL Unapologetic is already at 12 on itunes on pre orders – and we still have not seen the video.
Where is Rita – album – got – cancelled – RIP – cannot – chart – on – itunes – ORA ?
I though she was gonna take out 7 year Vet Rih out the game? So…………..where is she?
Cos, when I look on the American charts, I only see one woman who the letter R in her name on the chart. And that woman is black. Like the Prez.
That’s def Nicki Minaj’s body photoshopped on Rihanna. Come on Sam!
LOL
For the last year, Sam and Sandra Rose, have been telling us that Rita Ora was coming to the USA / music scene to take over and end rih’s reign.
Can someone tell me why Rih is bigger than EVER BEFORE IN HER CAREER?
Rihanna looks gorgeous 🙂 I’m glad that Diamonds is doing well. Its far better than Kesha’s generic mess or Bruno’s Police cover. It deserves the success. Imagine IF the B**** promo’d as much as Rita Ora.
Why does every post about Rihanna or Beyonce. Turn into a stan war? I know for a fact only gay guys do that s***. Its annoying as hell. I mean every time. You can go to the archives years back and see that s***….
Anyway @black Madonna get your facts straight
Dangerously In Love:4.8MillionUs/7.3Million IN
That puts DIL at 12.1Million Ww
B Day:3.6MillionUs/5.7Million IN
That puts BDay at 9.3Million Ww.
If Rihanna is so much huger than Beyonce why has she yet to have an album out do DIL,BDay, and IASF.
Now I normally try to stay out of these stupid ass stan wars. But unless you’re actually are subscribed to the actual billboard magazine,sound scan(which you have to subscribe to), and three other outlets. No one is here for your google or Wikipedia numbers. That any Stan can go an alter. Also I keep telling the navy Rihanna hasn’t sold but 80 Million in total. So how the hell can she have sold 147 Million singles? If you’re going to lie,go to a site where the posters don’t actually follow chart data,statistics, and so and so forth.
Rihanna has sold about 27Million Albums(US and Ww sales combined and about 53Million Singles Us and Ww combined. Don’t try to hype her up. It makes you all look desperate.
RIHANNA IS THE BIGGEST DIGITAL SELLER EVER AND THAT IS BIGGER THEN THEN BEYONCE, SO.
Just release the damme video ur album comes out in.less than two weeks
FLOP……….. LOL
You bytches don’t mean RIH no
earthly good and trying to put demands on Her,,,,GTFO.
KING BEY SHE CAN RELEASE THE VIDEO WHEN SHE
GET GOOD AND READY, WHO GAVE YO ASS THE KEYS TO THE KNGDOM!
I must say that’s a nice pIc but its photoshop
THEY PHOTOSHOP ALL OF THEIR PICTURES,
RIH BEING PHOTO ISN’T NEW NEWS THATS OLD NEWS..
That photoshop is horrible, she looks so plastic, they need to kill who make this.
I don’t know why I feel this picture is photoshopped.
Her body is making me jealous.
Don’t feel that way, every shape is beautiful in its own unique form. 🙂
Yasss, I was waiting for someone to say it and they did, BeyFlop is trying to steal Bad Girl Riri’s swag with Baddie Bey. I laughed so hard when I saw that instagram username. This b**** is so predictable.
Not as hard as me when I read this, though :

You give her that seat sis
Yeah, Bey peed yesterday and also shitted and wiped her ass. Who was she stealing from?
Gurl, you STAY on bey’s d***. What’s wrong? She can’t help you get off of welfare and food stamps?? Poor dat.
Beyonce is trying so hard to try and
seem Human but its not working she can never be down to earth and the girl next door type, Never. She wants to be Ms
Perfect too bad. Beyonce don’t have a clue as to how to be down to earth and the girl next door type, to save her pea picking Heart.
don’t like the girl but damn that body is sooo nice!!!!!
Boy I do love me some CiCi sometimes, but the “BEST PERFORMER EVER” is such a __/
She definitely beats out a lot of dry performers in this generation though.
Loll
Cici is a great Performer and her vocals are good
and on Point to Me.
The video looks promising and I really like the direction its heading. Oh and that Pic is horribly Photoshopped.
I think someone diid it, when the actual pictures came out she was curvy but they didn’t ATTEMPT to make that fake ass picture.
Well, she has finally stopped Bleaching. TG!
Or maybe she has a tan from being in the sun.
@prettigurlrockD Bitchess
Speechless.
Hmmm what can I say?? Typical MTV pop music video. But I am looking forward to it. I can always expect good videos and songs from Rihanna. Maybe not stellar live performances though but her directors for her videos really know how to deliver! So props!
Is she rOckin a skrillex, Ellie Goulding, Cassie hair style? Uh oh…
Video looks promising and she looks gorgeous as always… I’m still not feelin the song though.
Lol she looking like a H**
SAY THAT TO BEYFLOP WHEN HER FAT WIDE FLAT ASS ON STAGE WITH HER THJNDER THIGHS OPEN WITH HER FISH OUT OF HER SPANDEX H**!!!
Blue there’s a big demand for h*** not any demand
at all for the chicks who tries to be so dam Goody
two Shoe,,, and if you don’t believe Me then ask
Beyonce,,,,
@Jake and Shes yo mamma sista, now ain’t that
something.
lol With 37 million records and 146 million digital tracks sold WW, a new video coming out tomorrow, her new single shining bright at # 4 on the BB Hot 100 with no video, Just checked iTunes and Unapologetic is in the top 10, the haters have no choice but to show their bitter ,angry ,hateful selves. The album is serious. Rihanna is creating her own genre and people are checking for Rihanna. And now Beyoncé has no choice but to copy Rihanna. Baddie Bey? Really? since when?? Rihanna got these h*** inspired on the down low. Lmao At old Beyonce trying to compete with young Rihanna. Beyoncé had the lowest sales of her career 4. No Smash Hit from 4.This is the King that you claim will take Rihanna out? Rita still no WW smash hit. This is the flop people are claiming would end Rihanna’s career.TTT was rushed and not really a serious album has outsold 4.TTT had a monster smash hit.4 sold 2.3 million WW no WW smash from an artist who is suppose to be bigger than Rihanna. I can’t with hivs…
This sums everything up. I love Rih for destroying beyonce and Rita Ora, as well as piling on the pressure on Lady Gaga. Gaga NOW HAS TO MAKE AN LP BETTER THAN THE FAME, OR SHE IS DONE!
The rage is killing them. Wait till see how stunning and regal 5ft9 Rih looked at the Vicky secrets show ( I have seen the pictures) she murdered the models. Beat em at their own game.
Beyonce baddie bey looks stupid on instagram.
I lost so much respect for Beyoncé.There she goes stealing Rihanna’s concept. Beyonce never gives credit to Rihanna.She is too bitter and jealous. It’s ok what goes around comes around. 4 is the lowest sales of her career.People are starting to realize how Beyoncé is after all these years. Bland, basic, ghetto, fake and boring. And her voice is ugly and manly. @Rihannablack you are right about Beyoncé.
It’s clear that Rihanna’s accomplishments are Killiing
her many haters Slowly but surely. They don’t want Rih to have nothing they even wish that Beyonce had two Pus
her’s and then Rih’s if that was possible, dam d***** Bags.
They know Rihanna will stand for something . Really doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative, good or bad,Rihanna will be remembered. She is the face of today’s generation, how will she not be a legend? When the haters sad she couldn’t do it she has done it. Rihanna exceeds expectations. Rihanna knows she is not a powerhouse but gives her fans everything she has. She uses her voice, style, charisma to keep her fans wanting more. YOu haters want to claim Rihanna can’t sing it’s ok.Rihanna is fine the way she is. Truthfully, if Rihanna sounded like everyone else she would probably be a non factor like Keyshia Cole or Keri Hilson. Rihanna is ready to promote her new single and she has the BB Hot 100 on lock. Make sure to watch SNL.

Bey lost major points for that Username, I suppose since nobody followed suit with the letter writing trend she has to do the next best thing. Why would a married mother want to be called bad anyway? Is it safe to assume that private Bey is gone forever?
STOP READING HER DAMN RESUME!
