An icon. A legend. One of the greatest voices to grace Pop music.
While the above can all be said of Mariah Carey, there’s no denying that her time at the top has come with its difficulties.
However, above all the trials and tribulations life has thrown at the ‘Triumphant’ diva since her chart arrival, none can compare to the horror that was Rihanna‘s cover of her Afanasieff produced, ‘Hero‘.
Both shocking and disturbing, Rihanna’s take on the song still darkens many a happy memory related to the song- even eight years after it happened.
However, as to ensure nobody feels left out, TGJ dedicates today’s edition of ‘Retro Rewind’ to the ghastly cover, hours after her talented rival Rita Ora wowed fans with a cover of Carey’s Christmas classic ‘All I Want For Christmas‘ here.
Pain and distress below…
Our sentiments exactly B, our sentiments exactly.

I can’t believe you went there, Sam! In Rihanna’s defense this song is very hard to do but still a horrendous cover it was. I loved her Mariah Carey-esque hand gestures that she was doing though, I do the same thing lol.

Rih Says,,,
I never said to be like me, I say be yourself and make a difference.”
disgusting
eh no, she was 15 then. get your facts right ..
Singing is not her strong point.
Holy water is necessary.
Dead
Rihanna is embarrassing.
Look where she have came from , Literally nothing,
She attempted Mariah song, and got through them
first hurtles, and has done a super job of taking her
time and building a strong Foundation. Rihanna has
showed the world and many of us what you can do if
you are willing to work long and hard, and give it all
you have got. Rihanna was talked about as a youngster
but she still has showed the world that shes willing and
able to tackle the hard things in life.
she made it
nooo
And jesus wept at 2:50
With Holy water, a hymm, and that collection
plate look at RIH being compared to Beyonce.
aaha
@BEWHOYOUWANNA,,,@ RIH Haters,,,,,,
There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.
PS
That My Haters of Rihanna is Rihanna!!!
Floppity girl! Voice so s***.
Jesus take the mic.
more like Jesus take the career away save us all
Jesus gave her this life and has been
with her every step of the way.
Jesus gave Rihanna back that Mic and told Rih she
can feel free to “Walk The Same Red Carpets’ as
Beyonce Walks,,,,
Haters,,,,
You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.
haaa
Tears to my eyes, rupture to my ears.
ohh i was watcdhing LANA’S SNL PERFORMANCE TOO!!
YOU KNOW YOU AINT S*** WHEN NEW YORK TIMES AND CNN TELL YOU FLAT OUT
“LANA YOU CANT SING FOR S***”
GET THAT
Do you think your words phase me b****? Do you? Ride alone shits on Rihanna’s life, so don’t come for me ms b****.
ohh where does it s***? on the
WFL video and song with 10 weeks #1 and video of the year award &longest running #1 of 2012 ?
or is it Umbrella Video of the year award and 9 weeks #1
choose?
i just cant or is it the 9 week numberone that was LTWYL
plz share>?
where are rides sales?
where is the critical acclaim?
where is its smash single
even revamped Born To Die has yet to sold 2.8 million
Talk That Talk 3.5>
so we see the distinction
LANA ISNT EVEN CERTIFIED GOLD IN THE U.S
GOOOD SHOW DUMB C***! LOOOOOL
#SWERVE
LANA DEL SLAY true
You see that’s the problem with you b******. Always running to sales because you know it’s all she has. Ride was a masterpiece and is more respected than anything Riwhore has done in a long time.
B****** ain’t gon be thinking about sales in ten year’s time, they’ll be thinking about the art.
LETS SEE THE LOGICS
B****** AINT THINKING ABOUT LANA RIGHT NOW…
BUT THEY GONE THINK ABOUT HER 10 YEARS FROM NOW???
WHAT THE F*** KINDA SCHOOL DID YOU PEOPLE GO TO…
YOUR REASONING ABILITIES ARE SUB PAR AT BEST IF EVEN EXISTING…
CLEARLY THIS CONVO IS A WASTE OF TIME … AS IGNORANCE WILL NOT PRECLUDE YOU FROM ANALYZING FACTS AND SEPERATING IT FROM B*******
WILL PRECLUDE*
b****** aint thinking about Lana right now? but yet she topped Google’s most searched woman of the year, and yet The Paradise Edition could reach the top 10 without any live performances and without a hit single. when ppl look bck, they will look to Lana as a piece of art, but when they see Rihanna, Rihanna will be a f****** w****.
and u clearly need to watch more of Lana’s performances. she CAN sing, she can sing wayyyyyyy better than Rihanna. i agree tt her SNL performance was crap, but her more recent performances are amazing, they even better Rihanna. and rmb, Lana doesnt lip sync, rihanna does! and if you are going to judge Lana’s singing ablities based on her SNL performance only, than based on the above video, RIHANNA CANT SING
Rihanna don’t have Mariah’s chops but look
what shes doing with what shes got,,,,lol.
And even after all of the damage to yo ears
Rihanna’s Bank roll is even tighter and Her
Bill are all paid up for the next five years…
Rihanna got Whitney to tell you haters how she feels
about all of your hate on her…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QaI-M9sxW4
Enjoy,,,
@lana del,,, yep we know
http://shesomajor.com/rihanna-performs-at-summer-sonic-festival-in-japan-video/
And still getting paid! I wonder how is this even possible if
she don’t have any talents, to her haters.
LANA Yo ass need a hit bad.
That bytxh lana need some business, perhaps she could open for Rihanna oh no Rih got A$AP,,,
@NAVY Rih alwasy does a great job of keeping their asses pressed.
Tears to Yo eyes when Rih says she have got enough
money to buy herself what ever her heart desires. Just think Rihanna could Buy Herself a New Ass, Nose, and Tits just
like BEYONCE has done if she wanted to.
but she can never buy a good singing voice!
She is doing good shes holding her own, if you don’t like
her then don’t click on her post.
you stupid ass blinded fan, your ears have gone deaf to what talent is
No I am not blined to what talent is I just
have Variety in my choice of Talent and
Rih Fits the bill.
In response to the first coment..yes this song is very hard to do which is why if you cannot sing you do not belong up on stage singing that kind of song.
did i just detect shade
she can sing
What’s air?
She needs deliverance.
Amen
Rih even asked Fannie to give her some words,,
Because Rih says she “Aint Gone Bey” Her haters
they don’t have to ever Accept her because the Navy’s got this,,,

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.
The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.
She have deliverance since she made 29 Million
three years ago, then 53 the next year, and 53 million this pass year,,keep trying to figure out how she did so bad years
ago and has come this far,,,lol.
If that is your meaning of deliverance, I feel bad for you.
@AZELIA I used that as an Example deery, I am delivered
when I see and know that Mt Family is fed and all is well deery and got their Health and Strength, Deery.
And another thing I have come to believe thst the happiest people are not always the millionaires but those of Us who are from Pay Check to Pay check Deery.
The many Rihanna haters on this Message board isn’;t upset over Rihanna’s Vocals as much as they are over not wanting RIHANNA TO KEEP WINNIN LKIKE SHE HAS BEEN DOING FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW,,,
aahahahhahahagaghababababahhabababbaagghghghghghghghghhaa I CAN’T F****** DEAL, I JUST F***** CANT
1-800-RIRI-HITS,,,,,,
Rih says,,
I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
Ive lost the will to live.

Ten 02 Arena sell out for “Loud Tour” lol.
This post is like throwing a Bone off into the
middle of a dog pin and every dog trying to get a bite,
or dropping sugar on the cabinet and ants trying to
get a lick of it.
Staying lossed don’t pay bills.
lol bye
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
I think “Hero” is Mariah best known song in the world after ‘All I Want For Christmas‘, people like Rihanna shouldn’t cover Mariah’s songs and more if it is a song from her glory days, she could sing perfectly Mariah new songs, you know the likes of Obsessed and Touch my Body but not her 90’s masterpieces but she was young and probably was inspired by her voice.
Lets also not forget the “Without You” cover is very well know (USA was the only place it didn’t smash and go to #1 I believe), songs like “we belong together” are also well known.
I agree though, she even said she felt the most “similar” to with Mariah…….so idk.
Right, “Without You” is also very famous.
no , actually “MY ALL” is her most successful song to date speaking on an international scale.
I don’t think so but that’s my fav. of her.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
And Jesus wept.

Ciara got yo c*** mind, d*** ? I know QUEEN Ci is a boss, but what did @Boss say that got u thinking its indicative of Ciara in any way shape or form?
Ugly, go buy Rihanna singles, the only thing she successful at ! ciara vh1 divas performance received critical acclaim while R**** talentless ass is struggling on a MC song.. CH! I CANT !
Rihanna is the only female who has
a number 1 for 5 consecutive years in the
Uk and that hasn’t been done since Elvis did it
many years ago.
People are tired of the same artist all the time
and the last time I check Variety was the spice of live.
me
Atleast she was paying tribute to Mimi at that young age, come on.
but.. but ..she could have kept that tribute
to herself
And since the cat is out of the bag, Rih still
went on to claim those 12 number one’s at a younger
age then Mariah got her first 12 Nuuber One’s.
Oh LAX, I may like me some Riri. But in reality Mariah >>> Rihanna! #DealSweetie
@UTTERLY i LOVE MANY ARTIST !!!MANNNNY!!
AND I LOVE RIHANNA BECAUSE SHE IS TREATED LIKE THE UNDER DOG YET SHES MAKING HUGE WAVES IN THE MUSIC GAME,,,
That Tribute and them Horrid vocals was the bridge to get over to where she is now. Did you haters know that Rih has had to learn how to talk better since she came to the US no becaujse you are all so busy being mean to Her. But it’s okay because when I am no longer around to TAPPP ASSES THE NAVY will still carry on because its not Fair the way Rihanna ias hated on for no reason but it’s Okay the hate helps to keep her and her navy highly motivated up on high,,,
Haha, just because I chose my fav. over Rihanna and all of a sudden I’m a hater now?!? Or is it that ur just still bitter cuz I called you rubbish a few months ago?!?
I like and listen to Rihanna, there’s no need for me to hate on her so you can think whatever you want though.
@UTTERLY Get a grip i respect how you fell what i sad
was Rih went on to Greatness and got 13 hits at a younger age then Mariah I did not diss yo ass or Mariah what ever is yo problem? HATERS Was a generalization don’t take it so serious it wasn’t meant as a dig at you. dang.
Well re read me and if yo feelings are hurt perhaps you need to leave the blogging to Me and others,,,and let yo ass watch from the side lines,,,,,i addressed yo ass with yo name the other comment was in General like i always do, moving on,,,
now,,,love who you want to it’s a personal choice i am in no way trying to make no dam body like or support Rihanna like i and her Navy do.
@UTTERLY The comments is about how HORRID
RIH sounds and most of the navy comments and Mine
are about What Rihanna has accomplished with those Horrid vocals, nothing more and nothing less deery.
And shew won, she also won a beauty pagent that very year.
Posting videos of Rihanna before she was professional will not helpy your fave Christina Agrowlera learn how to not deafen her audience. Nor will it get Rita A hit in the U.s.. Nor will it sell copeis of Roman reloaded.
100 million records sold, maybe thats why “King Bey” is cringing
girl Kween Rih single sales are almost 100 million alone. She is well past 100 milion records while their fav is NOWHERE near it
I know, i was saying rih sold that much.
Lmao Since when dose singles count??? when she sells 100 mill albums let me know until than _/
Singles all ways did count.
LOVE YOUR PASSION
those single sales have her ahead of king B on FORBES so i guest they do count afterall u dumb c***!!!!
SHUT THE F*** UP H**
FYI Jay z got her on FORBES b****** will deal
Bringing up the PLATINUM roman reloaded wont buy up copies of Unaflopagetic by the human crash test dummy aka abuse victim R**** !!!
@PSA, HATERS,,,,
In Regards to Rihanna a Legend in the Making,,
Monica, an accountant, and Ronald, a warehouse supervisor, welcome daughter Robyn Rihanna Fenton. Her childhood on the Caribbean island of Barbados is deeply affected by her father’s addiction to crack cocaine and parent’s rocky marriage, which ends when she’s 14. The shy kid finds an outlet through singing.
2003
A Barbados Discovery
After forming a girl group with two classmates, Rihanna, 15, auditions for veteran producer Evan Rogers, who tells Entertainment Weekly, “The minute Rihanna walked into the room, it was like the other two girls didn’t exist.” She eventually moves to Connecticut to live with Rogers and his wife, while cutting a four-song demo. “When I left Barbados, I didn’t look back,” Rihanna adds. “I wanted to do what I had to do, even it meant moving to America.”
2004
Auditioning for Jay-Z
Rihanna’s demo makes its way to Def Jam and the budding star is invited to audition for rapper turned Def Jam president Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter. “I was in the lobby just shaking,” Rihanna, who sings Whitney Houston’s “For the Love of You,” tells Rolling Stone. “I signed her in one day,” Jay-Z adds. “It took me two minutes to see she was a star.”
2005
Rihanna’s Debut
Rihanna releases her first single, “Pon de Replay,” kicking off her debut album, Music of the Sun, and it peaks at No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100. The Barbados beauty tours with Gwen Stefani to promote her album, which sells more than 2 million copies worldwide. Rolling Stone calls the album “a seductive mix of big-voiced R&B and souped-up island riddims – what Beyoncé might have sounded like if she had grown up in the West Indies and skipped the whole Destiny’s Child thing.”
2006
A New Disc Among Rumors
Eight months after the release of her debut album, Rihanna releases her sophomore album, A Girl Like Me. The album boasts Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers “S.O.S.” and “Unfaithful,” and earns her four Billboard Music Awards, including Female Artist of the Year. But the success is paired with gossip that Rihanna is romantically involved with her mentor Jay-Z, who is dating pop star Beyoncé. “At first I was like, ‘Ha ha, it’s funny,'” Rihanna tells the AP. “Now I just ignore it and I’m numb to it…You cannot stop people from saying what they want to say.”
2007
An Edgier Look & Sound
Rihanna follows the likes of Janet Jackson and Christina Aguilera when she sheds her innocent image for an edgier look and sound. She releases the single, “Umbrella,” which reaches the top spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 in June and kicks off her upcoming third album, Good Girl Gone Bad. “It shows such growth for her as an artist,” Jay-Z tells the AP.” “If you listen to the lyrics to that song, you know the depth and how far she’s come.”
A Natural Beauty
After becoming the face of Cover Girl cosmetics, Rihanna appears in PEOPLE’s Most Beautiful issue sans makeup. “The best thing about going without makeup is that it takes a lot less time to get ready,” Rihanna says “You feel comfortable and free.” The glowing singer is also listed at No. 8 on Maxim’s Hot 100 and No. 59 on EW’s 100 Stars We Love, among such up-and-comers as Hayden Panettiere and Shia LaBeouf.
Good Girl Gone Bad
Rihanna’s latest disc, Good Girl Gone Bad, debuts at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart. It features songs produced by Timbaland, cameos by Jay-Z and has a track, “Rehab,” written for her by Justin Timberlake. “‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ was an expression of where I am at this point in my life, where I am in my career. It just represents my rebelliousness,” she tells EW.
Winning Big at VMAs
Rihanna cleans up at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, taking home two of the evening’s most prestigious trophies for her smash hit “Umbrella”: Video of the Year and Monster Single of the Year. The singer was nominated for five awards, including Female Artist of the Year.
Rihanna’s First Grammy!
After making a splash with an even shorter do, Rihanna performs “Umbrella” and “Don’t Stop the Music” at the 2008 Grammy Awards. The 19-year-old singer also goes home with her first Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration with Jay-Z for her hit “Umbrella.” During her acceptance speech, Rihanna says, “Dad, I know I promised you I’d give you my first Grammy, but we’re going to have to fight for this one!”
R&B Duo: Rihanna & Chris Brown?
After adamantly denying being involved with actor Josh Hartnett, Rihanna is romantically linked to 18-year-old R&B star Chris Brown (pictured at Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Party). “He’s one of my closest friends in the industry,” Rihanna tells Allure in January. “He makes me feel like a teenager. I have to act and think like an adult so much. He makes me feel young again.” In February, the pair is spotted awfully close in a pool in Jamaica.
hm ..

GO HELP BEYONCE IN HER IMPOSSIBLE MISSION OF GETTING A TOP 10 HIT
R**** GET A TOP 10 HIT AND STILL FLOPS!!!
Well look at it like this you gotta
start some where.
@RIHANNA HATERS,,,,
Rihanna Covers Cosmo
Now a household name, Rihanna appears on the cover of Cosmopolitan, with newfound self-confidence. “A year ago, I would have sat here in my shell with my hands in my lap and been very shy,” she explains to the magazine. “But now, I can be goofy and outgoing.” The Grammy winner also gets to celebrate another single, “Don’t Stop The Music,” heating up the Billboard charts, reaching No. 3 – right behind Chris Brown’s “With You.”
A ‘Very Close’ Relationship
Continuing her magazine cover domination, Rihanna appears on the cover of Elle, where she briefly unseals her glossy lips regarding her “friendship” with Brown. “We’ve always been friends,” the singer, who is currently on tour with Kanye West, tells the magazine, “but we’re very close now.”
Domestic Violence Drama
Rihanna and Brown are embroiled in a domestic violence drama that results in Brown, 19, being charged with two felonies in the alleged beating of Rihanna. “Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired,” Brown says in a statement. In June, Brown is sentenced to five years probation and 180 days of community labor.
Rihanna’s Release
Having not uttered a word about her assault, Rihanna steps forward in fashion, before breaking her silence about the incident. “This happened to me…It can happen to anyone,” the singer, 21, tells ABC’s Diane Sawyer. Rihanna – whose latest album, Rated R, sells 181,000 in its first week – adds of Brown, “He was definitely my first big love.”
Grammy Repeat
Rihanna wins her second Grammy award for “Run This Town,” a collaboration with Kanye West and Jay-Z. “I just want to thank Kanye and Jay-Z for giving me the opportunity to be apart of such a wonderful song,” she says in her acceptance speech. In 2008, she won her first Grammy in the same category with Jay-Z for the hit, “Umbrella.”
Rihanna Plays the Field
After her traumatic relationship with Brown, Rihanna finds love again with Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp. “I have such a chaotic life, but at the end of the day, that is just my peace,” she says of her “easy” relationship with Kemp. “It keeps me sane, really, talking to him and talking to my family.” By the end of the year, the couple calls it quits.
Getting Loud
Almost a year after the release of her last effort, Rihanna tops the charts with Loud, which boasts hit singles, “What’s My Name?” and the Grammy-winning dance recording “Only Girl (In the World)”. “What Loud showcases best…is a star undefeated by her worst circumstances – and finding redemption in exactly the kind of pop nirvana that made her famous in the first place,” raves EW of her fifth album, which earns her album of the year and best pop vocal album of the year Grammy nominations in 2011.
A S*** Distinction
Though Rihanna is crowned Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive, the singer alleges that her appeal is entirely unintentional. “At the end of a concert, I don’t feel like I’ve been this s*** thing,” the star demurs. “Really, I don’t even think about it.”
Reporting for Duty
Rihanna jumps from the record studio to the silver screen, making her acting debut in the big screen adaptation of the board game Battleship, opposite Taylor Kitsch and Alexander Skarsgard. Despite the star-studded cast, the film opens in second place, grossing $26 million during its first weekend
Oooops.

Seventh artist in the Hot 100′s 53-year history to tally at least 11 leaders (4th Female)
and i know MC three stans aint coming out the closet to shade seeing as how acts like Katy Perry and Rihanna are now biggers stars than their fav
Bey stans could your fav sing like Mariah Carey when she was 14????
You’re right, Katy and Rihanna are more famous than Mariah Carey today, but 50+ years from now people will still cite Mariah as their influence much like how Rihanna cited Mariah as her influence. You seem to be forget the little detail that Mariah’s “generation” passed with Celine, Janet, Whitney, etc in the 90s before the likes of Beyonce, Xtina, Britney, etc were in the scene and she’s survived them and now she’s in a pool with a newer generation of stars like Taylor, Gaga, Rihanna, Katy, etc and best believe that if she survived Whitney, Celine, Madonna, Janet (top girls) and Beyonce, Britney, Xtina (second generations)…..she’ll survive Katy and Rihanna and remain unbothered. NEXT.
but but she is already FLOPPING straight to hell
DEAL
You completely missed everything I just said. Congrats for being the biggest dim-wit of them all, idiot. She flopping yet AIWFCIY reached a new peak at #21 on HOT 100 18 years after its release. DEAL WITH IT.
And Rihanna will out last many and she will stay
UNBOTHERED., like she is right now.
News Outlets Compare Rihanna to Beyonce all the time,,

Rihanna, Navy Love the Comparison!!
Gurl bye!
You talkin about Katy Perry, a woman damn near her 30’s acting like a teenager with cotton candy wigs and cupcake bras?!?!?!?
Call me when Rihfund or Scary Perry have a diamond album.
that cant happen this day and age.
stay mad because mariah carey is irrelevant now and no one will be inspiried by her if they grow up and dont here her music cuz she cant get a hit
Katy Perry and Rihanna>>>>>>>>
Adele’s album just went DIAMOND in the U.S.
“….one will be inspiried by her if they grow up and dont here her music cuz she cant get a hit” The idiocy in this post is beyond me. Since when did people like Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Mariah, Prince etc get #1s to inspire people? They STILL inspire people and are listed as influences today without these #1s that you speak of.
Define “relevant” because Mariah was #24 on the most Googled celebrities last year when she was doing nothing and #25 this year……what’s relevant? Getting #1s?
bEYONCE IS 31 AND BUSTING IT DOWN AND OUT LIKE A STRIPPER
IN “Dance For You” to another man and shes married and
nobody see the Rih Haters complaining about that.
If Rihanna keeps working hars she will be a Legend
just like Mariah and other Legends and it matters not
a dam how hard she can sing and pop her Pus.
BEYONCE DONT HAVE A DIAMOND ALBUM NEITHER SO…..
neither could you fave at 14 hush
RIHANNA IS A BIGGER STAR THEN BEYONCE IS RIGHT NOW,,,
What they did in the past is what made them as big as they are and what they do in the future will be how they will be judged for this Decade, Deery.
Narrowed minded folks will always say that
once a baby always a baby., life isn’t like that the baby grows up and learn new things…..
Rihanna will be Remembered for Being the only
Female to stand toe to toe with Beyonce’s ass
http://acharts.us/performer/beyonce
and Beyonce has reMixed and re-released the same
amount that Rihanna has and Rih have Released 7 Albums
and Rihanna is still Raising Cane,,,,
Even with their Beautiful Voices and their Singing and Beyonce’s P**** Popping they still have not crossed that 2Billion mark with their video why if Rih can sing as goo what is people flocking to Vevo and Youtube and paying Rihanna Homage For Her good looks and yet many of you calls her big head and Ugly??????what is it Rihanna got
that have kept RIHANNA MANIA Going on all these years, Bytxhes,,,
Navy,,,Love the Bey & Rih Comparison,,
http://www.capitalfm.com/artists/beyonce-knowles/photos/most-beautiful-woman/
@PWetsh NAVY Love this like “A Fat Kid Love Cake”.
Katy Perry and RIhanna bigger stars than Mariah Carey? LOL maybe to tweens who don’t bother to look for real artists. Get back to me when either of those “singers” have an 18 year old song at #21. That’s IF they’re even around that long.
Also Mariah will never be irrelevant. Her 18 million dollar paycheck for Idol is a testament to that. Not to mention her songs are ALWAYS covered in EVERY SINGLE singing show. And not just her hit singles, her lesser known songs like “Anytime You Need a Friend” was just covered on X-Factor. Get back to me when ANYONE is inspired by that McDonald’s quality music Rihanna and Katy Perry continually regurgitate.
@COMMON SENSE I AM GETTING BACK TO YA,,,,
CONCERNING RIHANNA’S MCDONALD MUSIC DEERY
Rihanna’s “We Found Love”,,,,MS MAM..
“We Found Love” was a major commercial success. In the United States, the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for ten non-consecutive weeks, becoming the longest running number one single of 2011 and of the 2010s
decade thus far,,,,
“We Found Love”,,
went on , surpassing “Umbrella” as her longest running number one single…
It became Rihanna’s eleventh song to top the Hot 100, placing her in third place amongst female recording artists amassing the most number one singles
“We Found Love” topped the charts in twenty-five countries including Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. It also attained top five positions in Australia, Belgium and Czech Republic and peaked in the top ten of charts in twenty-nine countries worldwide, becoming one of the most successful songs in 2011 and 2012.

@Lames,,,,
“We Found Love” is the 1st song, by any artist, to top the UK & US charts for six weeks since “Umbrella”

Rihanna is much better vocally. I bet she could nail Hero today.
yes she is but
this is sam’s comfort when he sees a rihanna achievement
poor dat
Are you serious? I worry about your mental state if you honestly believe Rihanna could EVER cover Hero. She simply does not possess the vocal ability to ever do that song justice. And Mariah’s recent Jimmy Fallon performance proves that she is in a far higher league of vocal talent than Rihanna.
Class and Style of her own and its working
very well for her.
@Common Sense I wonder ho do Rih Keep doing things likje this,,,

@Joker and the joke is on “That Grape Juice” because it’s
clear to many that Rihanna don’t have to sing another NOTE and she have still made it.

I’m now convinced that Rihanna is actually a prostitute who uses her music videos as ads for her clientel. If this is what she sounds like when she’s competing, my body coils at what she sounds like in the studio accapella.
Talentless hack.

Name Calling Rihanna isn’t going to cut it, Haters.
@Bey Hive Rihanna learned a lot from
Beyonce, now ain’t that something, lol.
When you Bytches talk sbout Rih it’s a direct
Reflection on Beyonce’s Booty Pads, big times…
@BITCHBEY,,,
the collaboration was influenced by their past experiences of domestic violence. Recording sessions were held in Ferndale, Michigan, and Dublin, Ireland. The song is a midtempo hip hop ballad with a pop refrain. Backed by guitar, piano and violin, it describes two lovers who refuse to separate despite being in a love–hate abusive relationship.
@BITCHBEY,,,
Love the Way You Lie” is the second single from American rapper Eminem’s seventh studio album Recovery. Singer Skylar Grey was inspired to write and record the demo with Alex da Kid when she felt that she was in an abusive romantic relationship with the music industry. Eminem wrote verses to the track and chose Barbadian singer Rihanna to sing the chorus.
The single was released through Interscope-Geffen-A&M on August 9, 2010. Critics complimented its melody and realistic themes. They suggested that it was influenced by Eminem’s and Rihanna’s respective relationships with ex-wife Kimberly Scott and ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
Eminem promoted “Love the Way You Lie” with performances at the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo, the MTV Video Music Awards and many festivals. The music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, stars Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox in a violent relationship and shows Eminem and Rihanna in front of a burning house. The clip had a mixed reception due to scenes of domestic violence. Some critics suggested that it alludes to the personal lives of Eminem and Rihanna.
Love The Way You Lie,,
Certified as Eminem’s best-selling single, “Love the Way You Lie” was listed by magazines among the best of 2010 and of Eminem’s work.
Love The Way,,,,
It was number 1 on 25 weekly singles charts, including the United States’ Billboard Hot 100 for 7 weeks. The single sold more than 5 million copies in the US and became the best-selling song of 2010 in the United Kingdom. It won many accolades and was nominated for five Grammy Awards. Artists and groups such as Cher Lloyd and The Band Perry performed cover versions. Rihanna has said that its theme of domestic violence, a topic on which she claims many people do not have insight, is what makes the song effective. She later recorded “Love the Way You Lie (Part II)”, which is narrated mostly from the female perspective
These Rihanna stans tryin to come in nd dislike every negative comment knowing damn well there true.
NO DEAR I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS A MESS.COM
The funny part is we actually think how funny is it that rihanna with such little sing ability
has outdone artist like rita whora beyonce jessi j christina aguilera and alecia keys…
how?
it baffles me!!!
ohh i know SHE IS A MAFUKING STAR!
@BOSS GTFO,,,,,WE CAN DISLIKE EVERY COMMENT IF WE WANT TO. WHAT IN THE F** R YO ASS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT??????
Perhaps that is why the CBS news is covering Jay and Beyonce with being the highest paid power couple in the game again this year, with earnings of 78Million Dollars Yet Beyonce’s Dam BHive don’t want RIHANNA’S Ass to get paid!
@BOSS STFU,,,,,
@BEY HIVE, RIH HATERDS U KNOW WHO YO ASSES ARE,,,
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.
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.
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.
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.
http://acharts.us/performer/beyonce
And the Beat goes On, Haters,,,
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,,,
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.
BEUONCE,,
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.
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.
BEYONCE’S,,,
“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.
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,,,
“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.
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?
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 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.
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.
Rihanna’s haters can say what they want to about her but one thing is for real about Her Rih know where she came
from and she dam sure know where shes going while beyonce is a big ass fraud and Rihanna will never let stealing all of her work have as many DAM LAW SUITS AS BEYONCE, NEVER!!!!
All Rihanna is Guilty of is working her ass
off and trying to make a decent pay check and she don’t ever
have to be as great/good and Mariah, or Beyonce is as long as Rih can still get paid Bytches,,,
nooooo
Really Sam? I don’t even like Rihanna as a singer whatsoever but this was just mean. Mariah’s music is already difficult enough for most professional vocalists to attempt. Why would you think Rihanna who at the time was a complete amateur singer would do the song any justice?
whatever. this’ a click counter. screw it. tgj hater gimmick. 😆
LOLOLOLOLOL!
Oh wow. S and D saw Rita was getting dragged in her thread so they made this one. Ooop ROC 4 LIFE b******.
So is this your attempt to make that terrible rendition of AIWFCIY by Rita sound ‘decent’, pathetic. FYO hero is not an easy song to sing esp. for a 15yo. and AIWFCIY is easier considering justin bieber covered it!
P.S. you can’t even call this shade ’cause in no way is this subtle.
*FYI.
imagine after such a horrible performance…..
she has become the beacon of pop superstardom
sooo manny accalaids after digital artist of the decade 12#1 songs 5 platinum albums
ohhhh poor sam i understand
it must hurt to see people like rita ora certified TIN and people like rihanna with “minimal talent” SHINE BRIGHT LIKA A MATHAFUCKING DIAMOND!
*DRINKS VITA COC &WATCHES THE EVENTFUL EPICNESS THAT IS THE LOUD TOUR DVD*
TID BIT: WAS THAT BEY AFTER DEF JAM GAVE RIHANNA THE 200 K CAR?
OR AFTER THE 12 #1 SONG?
MY GUESS IS WHEN SHE SAW RIHANNA OUTSHINE HER ON THE FORBES LIST
KIIIIII 😀
the bums cannot deal
To be fair Beyonce did nothing, literally, all of 2012 and she earned like $40 mil……impressive really.
Anyways, how are you dear? sorry you missed the BEST of 2012: TGJ commentators awards…… 🙁
Rihanna doesn’t have to do anything and she will still beat your fav ho
TBH I dont really acknowledge yor opinion because you are biased
what did rihanna do TALK THAT TALK?
no tour … & furturmore beyonces 4 came out in 2011 which is apart of the forbes year
so forbes sales would have been included
so plz enliten me
she also did the live at rosavelt shows and so on performed for the presedent Loreal and many other stuff
lets no forget hause of dearion
THE FACT OS RIHANNA OUTSHINE BEYONCE THAT IS IT!!!
People OFTEN forget that BEYONCE’S 4 was released last year June 2011
its easy to forget granted how uneventfull it was but her 4 sales would have been inclusive in her FORBES RANKING
granted FOrbes starts its annual ranking from MAY 1’st to the May after
so having said that
Logics would suggest that bey not shining on forbes has no excuse?
RIHANNA DID NOT TOUR THAT YEAR! and still slayed …. MAYBE ITS THE WFL SALES LOOOOOOOL!
Fresh Navi Rihanna was EVERYWHERE compared to Beyonce that year sorry. Yes Bey did do promo, but Rihanna was just everywhere. Im not divulging in specifics its obvious.
@Fresh Navi
If anything you are the biased one. I am not a fan of Beyonce or Rihanna so I can am objective in this. Rihanna released an album, single, had a TV show, performed, movie, etc…..while Beyonce gave birth and such. And its not an opinion, its a FACT. Beyonce did not do nearly as much as Rihanna in 2012. House of Darion? REALLY now? I guess its safe to mention Rihanna’s perfume and clothing lines association with Armani and such then? Revel? What about Rihanna’s “concert” for coachella 2012, Hackney Weekend, VMAs, etc………
Rihanna made more money for Beyonce while Beyonce stayed home with Blue Ivy earning $40 mil on her own…….the LOGIC?
what is the logic?!! Dr dre made the most and he wasnt anywhere?
all i see is excuses
*rihanna voice*
who care how you haters feel?
all i see is signz all i see is dollar signsz
” Dr dre made the most and he wasnt anywhere?” !!!!!!! DR.DRE??????!! Need I to remind you that he is a producer?!?! He produced most of Ke$ha’s album as well as Katy’s and other famous pop girl of the moment? He’s also a business man so yes he made a lot of money. Beyonce’s business lies in her tours, album, and other MUSIC related stuff. Dr.Dre was a really bad example to use on your part. I’m not a Rihanna hater, I have no reason to be.
Rih still did this,,,
“Talk That Talk” Personal Fastest Selling Album To 1,000,000 Worldwide
Rih says,,
the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves. , and that is what shes doing a great job of.
Rihanna is doing the dam thing and Rih left Beyonce
album “4” a long time ago. and with her album sales
and her sinlges doing all kinds of great things Beyonce has got to bring it this time.
@MC It really don’t matter because you see Beyonce was in the game in 2003 Rihanna didn’t come until late in 2005. Beyonce has dropped the exact same Number of Albums as Rihanna has and still Yet Rihanna is compared to Beyonce more then any other artist with their asses pointing to the ground, period.
@Freah Navi Preach and keep schooling them…
Beyonce Promoted the hound dog hell out of her album “4′
Operah, Live at Rosaling, ect and RIHANNA Still caught her in album sales world wide and Passed her singing and dancing the best ass…DUUUUH!!!
@THE F*CK BEYONCE HAS NINE ALBUMS TOTAL,,,
RE MIXES ECT…SAME NUMBER AS RIHANNA WHATS BEYONCE’S EXCUSE IT SURE IN THE HELL WASN’T THE BABY, DEERY…
Beyoncé didn’t do anything because 4lop was flopping worse than TTT
And yet TTT only outsold it by less than a million! Whilst Ri has yet to outsell all Beys other albums with her 7!
AUM 47 MILLION? POOR U RIHANNA HAS OUTSOLD BEY GLOBALLY AS A SOLO ARTIST
THANK GOD FOR dil
Babe obviously she would she has 7 albums, Im talking about individual album sales.
-___- This was not necessary.
I can’t believe this. Sam is so pressed. Rihanna was actually good in the beginning but she struggled in the end, but its ok cuz this song is not easy to sing. And she was like 15.
You need to end this obsession with this RITA ORA chick. She’s the biggest FLOP in MUSIC HISTORY. She will never be on RIHANNA’s level. And she MOST CERTAINLY WILL NEVER BE ON MARIAH’ LEVEL.
I swear, Sam is more childish than some of the people on this blog. And i saw the shade that you were throwing at mariah too.
Leave the bitchiness to bloggers and start acting more professional.
No need to shade Sam, he does a great job of shading himself.
1. He said Rita was getting the crowd excited when everyone present looked like they were promised food and shelter out of homelessness and debating whether or not they wanted to just go back to begin homeless again. The crowd was dead silent even though Rita was running around like a white money in a clown’s make-up.
2. Rita’s performance wasn’t good and no one is under the illusion that Rihanna is a great singer.
3. Everyone alive, past, present, future and even the hermits living under a rock have seen this performance.
4. Lastly he uses a Beyonce gif from the ‘4’ era……lets not…..
let us not.
She didn’t sound good then and she don’t sound good now.
Nice try RIHTRY!
But it doesn’t matter b/c she’s a household name.
Rihanna might not ever sound good to those who visits this site but there’s no deyning that Rihanna is a force to be reckoned with.
She might not sound good to You,,,Rih is Loved…
Sam know that Rihanna won, and just like when Beyonce drops her albums she know who is dropping what and when, simple as that.
RIH DON’T HAVE TO SOUND GOOD TO HER HATERS.
@That B*tch thats what her haters and u always say.
http://www.justjared.com/2012/09/22/rihanna-iheartradio-music-festival-2012/
false
So what was the point in postin that? Since then shes grown vocally n has much better performances than this. That wasnt gud but shes much better now so now yall just look desperate diggin up old s***. TGJ bye, that was petty n pressed
Fot hits this is a blog spot Rih is News,,,big news.
OOOOH girl. The Titanic is here thumbing down comments. They know their fave is TUHLUNTLESSSS!
ARE VISUALLY CHALLENGED ?
or are you delusive?
i’m inclined to think the latter
Read it and weep
Rihanna is SHORT SELLING her mansion. The Bajan singer is asking sellers to pay $2.5 MILLION LESS than the amount she paid for the home just two years ago.
The home was just put up for listing – and is being listed as a SHORT SALE – meaning that Rihanna’s MORTGAGE on the home is greater than the amount of money she’s ASKING.
So we know what you’re thinking – isn’t it a SMART idea to do a short sale if the value of the home is less than the amount of the mortgage owed. Well the fact is that banks will NOT approve of a short sale, if they believe the borrower has the FINANCES to continue paying the mortgage. So that means unless she’s BROKE or under financial DISTRESS . . . she CAN’T do a short sale. And if she KNOWINGLY advertised the sale of her home as a SHORT SALE (like she did below) knowing that she WOULD NOT QUALIFY, that could be considered a FRAUD.
And even if they DO approve of the short sale, the DAMAGE to Rihanna’s credit would be severe. She’d be unable to get another mortgage on a home for at least 5 years.
So HOW could Rihanna be under such financial distress . . . isn’t she one of the BIGGEST ARTISTS in the world? Well maybe we can ask her MANAGER, Jay Z and em . . . .
and you posted this to say what?
This has absolutely nothing to do with the video…
Rih says she
Don’t wish to be normal. Wish to be yourself. To the hilt. Find out what you’re best at, and develop it, and hopscotch your weaknesses. Wish to be great at whatever you are.
Funny that the BHive is in the house thumbing down the Navy and trying to Remind the Navy that Rihanna will never be on Beyoncre’s level,,,lmao,,,Beyonce don’t have no level
Rihanna, Gaga, Taylor, Britney, Adele and others is causing Beyonce to have sleepless nights because Bey know that even Kelly and ciara, Keri, Eve, Ashanti, PINK, CHRISTINA, AND COUNTLESS OTHERS are coming with new music and if their music isn’t new they are going to Promote the hound dog hell out of what they have got out already,,,,,Bey
is going to have to pack her dang lunch this go around.
Digging up old news just any thing to try and
get at Rih with,,,,
NAVY don’t have time to thumb down that’s all in yo “Wood Heads”, Bey Hive,,
@16GRAMMY’S BUT STILL GETTING PAID, THOUGH
http://rihannadaily.com/2012/06/29/rihanna-performs-at-kollen-festival-in-norway/
@16GRAMMYS,,,
A lot of these artists claim to be songwriters, but don’t always write a thing. Some, like Beyonce, serve as vocal arrangements, which points to part of the song’s composition, and thus, receive a songwriting and production credit. Others, like Beyonce, can demand credit based on their name alone. I myself have heard of new song writers looking for placement with Beyonce’s last album being told Beyonce demands a certain amount of publishing upfront (and it’s substantial) or they could “be paid handsomely” to politely remove their name from the song altogether. Fact is, Beyonce didn’t write one song on “I Am…Sasha Fierce.” Beyonce and her team have bought the rights from the songwriters and then Beyonce took credit for it. I have no idea about previous albums but it’s obvious that Beyonce never had a pen in her hand, which is a shame because Beyonce claims something she isn’t.
Rhianna to this day still sounds like s***. She is a below basic b****. Just cause she sells lots of singles does not make her a great singer….. Look at Madonna, she sounds like s*** too.
I’ve heard better singers at talent shows and Karaoke night.
o see your hurt amd i understamd the pain with minimal talent and still clocking your faves in the sales dept
ohhh the horror the anguish kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
And RIhanna to this day id Paid!!
Rihanna is not on Madge’s level and Madonna may not be the best singer in the world but she is a great performer as well as artist.
THIS!
But I will have to add that Madonna has been one of the greatest innovators in pop music.
What has Rihanna done thats so innovative? Just another talentless broad with a wig thats famous for sucking d***.
I WILL KILL YOU
Lol, sending death threats because you’re trying to defend a girl who wouldn’t p*** on u if you were on fire?!?!?!
I cant!
RIHANNA IS A TRAILBLAZER IN TODAYS MUSIC.
A below Basis Bytch Who’s Paid A-Lister
Mega Artist $$$$$$.
You Rihanna stans constantly give Sam what hes seeking to achieve……HITS!
Are you sol blind that you can’t see everytime he posts something about Rihanna it gets the most hits and the site gets tweeted more than any other blog site on earth?
He knows Rihanna doesn’t sound like that anymore but him posting this just made thatgrapejuice the most viewed blog in the last 2 hours!
OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE!
Stupid, aren’t they?
Why continue to visit a blog site you don’t like? Lol!
RIHANNA IS THE REASON THIS BLOG STAYS ALIVE
who cares. hit them. something to talk and rant. doesn’t hurt. 😉
@That B*tch what is Stupid and dumb is yo ass and yo
“Douch Bag” getto hood rats debating with the NAVY
About RIHANNA WHO YO ASSES CLAIMS ISN’T TALENTED AND CAN’T SING EVEN THOUGH RIHANNA made 90Million on her last tour in less then seven months,,,,and rihanna has a net worth of 75 Million and has made 29Million, 53 Million and 53 Million for the last three years,,,and Forbes makes it a point to point out that Rihanna is now making A Million a tour stop and they decided that WHILE SHE WAS ON HER “LOUD TOUR”.
yasss sam you betta REMIND them rihanna stans who was talking reckless about rita
And Lets remind the RIta stans of her Looks.
Less see where Rita’s ass is going to be listed
at when this years tallies are all counted,,,,Solange.
*shrugs* At least she was able to make something of herself in spite of that. Just think of the people who started out in a similar fashion and are STILL trying to make it years later.
she didn’t make it all herself. jay-z did. sorry.
Um la reid did NOT jayz!!!!
Yes but Rihanna is the one who burned the Mid night oil.
Yes Jay gave her a break but when Rihanna was in Europe Touring Last year Jay’s ass wasn’t with Her.
The navy need to just get over the fact that she’s never been a strong singer. And probably never will. I mean she has admitted she doesn’t like to train her voice. She’d rather smoke weed than rehearse. I’m also surprised that this was the performance that impressed a producer back then to get her signed. I’m pretty sure he liked the way she looked. She has a mediocre voice but at least she’s built her brand enough to be able to sing a good portion of her own songs and maybe that was her label’s plan. But she fails often to deliver her own songs live at the same time too which makes many question her credibility as a singer. And she did not sell 100 million. I love the way you lie, Navy. Keep inflating tho! Smh.
tell that to def jam poor you it must hurt to see rihanna excel in ways your fave cant
I WILL DESTROY YOUR P****
BETTER PREPARE
Um no, she is certified for 100 million.
Do you love the way the facts “lie”
The Navy has never and neither has Rihanna ever Waved a Red flag saying that Rihanna was the best at nothing.
The Navy says that even though there are many Singers
who sings longer and harder then Rihanna does What we are saying is that Rihanna is doing something right because even with her not sounding Like Mariah look at where Rihanna has come from and landed in the music history Books.
No dissing MS Kelly and the Ex Destiny Childs,
since I love them all including Beyonce which it’s hard to love and respect Beyonce’s ass with Her Bey Hive, though But,,,,
Why is it that Destiny Childs can do it all and Rihanna has risen up to be this Huge Mega Artist and is Banking like Rihanna is Banking ,,,Explain that Bey Hive and Rihanna haters and don’t bring that shyt up in here about Rihanna Suction Hose is Stronger because all them Bytche have got strong SUCTION HOSES INCLUDING BEYONCE, HOW IN THE HELL DO YO ASSES THINK BEYONEC LANDED JAYZ,,,???GIVING HIM BACK RUBS,,,REAL TALK,,,
And still Rihanna making your favs look like some jokes on the charts.
Rihanna doesn’t need Mariah vocals to sell records though. Rihanna’s voice is the money maker and without it she wouldn’t be this big. I’ve heard so many covers of Diamonds and not one soul can sing the song as good as Rihanna. Not even the powerhouse singers. Rihanna has her own style and I love it.
The navy think number one singles can make up for rihanna’s lack of talent. It doesn’t.
But it does. Look at the ones with Talent. Where are they?
JoJo. Jazmine Sullivan. Marsha Ambrosius? RIGHT.
Image is everything and Rihanna has that.
No Navy don’t think that but her
Haters are bitter because Rihanna got them
Number One’s to help make her the biggest selling
Queen of Pop for the last twenty years or last two decades.
LMAO!!!!!!! What a FLOP!!!!!!
You can see a 12 year Xtina singing I Have Nothing by Nippy
Oh well …. better than a 25 years old Goathanna lol
And Years Later Xtina sounds horrible live. Bye!
Yes and just what did Chriatina make last
year in the money department, since shes
white, Blonde and got a “Tight S*** Ass”?
Duuuuuuuuh Rihanna is a Black Bytche \making Waves and Breaking Records.
Meanwhile, at No. 2 on the Top Artists recap is Rihanna, who comes in second for the second year in a row. The star has yet to be artist of the year, despite having placed quite highly almost every year since her debut in 2005. She also ranked among the top 10 acts in 2006, 2008 and 2010. This year, however, she can crow about being No. 1 on the Hot 100 Artists tally for the first time, thanks to mega-hits like “We Found Love” (featuring Calvin Harris), which spent 10 weeks atop the Hot 100. The SRP/Def Jam/IDJMG collaboration, which arrived in late 2011, finishes 2012 as the No. 8 song on the Hot 100 Songs recap. Despite Rihanna’s track record on the Hot 100 (she notched her 12th No. 1 this year with “Diamonds”), the closest she had come to being the Hot 100’s top artist was in 2008, when she was runner-up.
RIHANNA DOESNT GIVE A F*** ABOUT SAMS EXISTENCE
@SAINT I KNOW THAT ESPECIALLY SINCE FOR THIS MONTH OF DECEMBER RIH HAS MADE MORE PAPER THEN THIS BOARD, TOTAL COMMENTERS LIFE IF THEY LIVED FIVE LIVES., OVER THE LIFE WE HAVE ALREADY,,,,HATERS STAY PRESSED AND STRESSESD.
true
Everytime i try to like Rihanna I remember this performance. She isn’t talented and that’s the be all and end all of it. She’s hot and s*** now but what happens when she’s over 25 and can’t keep up with the new girls that are already in artist development. Bey, Mariah and Gaga will stand the test of time because they can sing. Rihanna cannot.
Well we all have opinions. She is talented
yes we do, but you are just delusional
lol
And just because RIHANNA don’t dance and pop
her Pus like Beonce does in dance for you, that
don’t mean jack shyt, Rihanna’s Diamonds has
already Been Certified and that is 100Million
By Vevo and Youtube making Rih have another
200Million Certified to add to what she has already, Bytches,,,where is Beyonce since She Sing, and
Pop that Big Fat Pus of Hers like Nobodys, business?
ID SHE CANT SING WHY SHE WAS INVITED TO THE VOICE AND NOT NICKI , CIARA
Saint they are pressed because they feel that Rih
isn’t as good a singer as Beyonce is, Well to me Beyonce can’t sings as good as Aretha, Mariah, Adele, Celine, Glagy’s
Patti and some others to me,,,Just saying.
NAVY COMPLETE THE SENTENCE
IT DOESNT MATTER WHERE YOU START ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
it matters that your ass still cant sing
dead !! READ SOLANGE !!!
We won’t even discuss Solange.
The fact is it don’t mean a shyt about where you
started from it’s all about Buliding Yourself a Bridge
and Getting over it like Rihanna has done, and I know that
there are countless Others who wished they could hang with Rihanna ass for just the year of 2012, you know look at all that Rihanna has accomplished with that SO CALLED
NO SINGING VOICE OF HER’S…ROTF,,,,,LMAO.
RITA IS SUCH AN INTERNATIONAL FLOP
SHE DOESNT HAVE THE X FACTOR
SHE WILL NEVER BE ON RIHANNNNNNNNNNNNNNA LEVEL
Bless her heart.
‘Cause that’s what she really is: Blessed.
Ooops!
Bey Fans are so quick to say that Beyonce can stand the test of time
YET 4 WAS THE MOST NONE MOTHER F****** FACTOR THAT
EVERYONE FORGETS IT WAS RELEASED LAST YEAR?
WHERE WERE THE HITS?
WHERE WERE THE LOGEVITY?
WHERE I DONT SEE IT
ADELE RELEASED THE SAME KINDA MUSIC BUT YET
HER ALBUM SHITTED
IF BEY IS AS LEGENDARY AS SAM AND THE HIVE CLAIMS WHY DID SHE DO HER LOQEST FIGURES VER!?
I CANNOT WITH THE EXCUSES YOU ASSERT THE BIASNESS OF EVERYBODY ON THIS SITE
LOVE YOUR LOGIC
b**** bye
300+k first week with NO hit singles and a month early (something you rihtards keep forgetting) leak. every artist has a flop era but lets seen what tune your whistling with beyonces next era though.
OHH DONT SAY THAT AS IF RIHANNA PAST 4 ALBUMS DIDN TLEAK
SHUT THE F*** UP
ALL I SEE ARE EXCUSES!!!
THAT ALL THE BEY HIVE HAS EXCUSES WHILE
THE NAVY HAS NUMBERS
KEEP IT CUTE AND I’LL SPARE YOU…
SOCIALLY CHALLENGED ONE
4flop was still a flop # 1 on the US charts or not. She had no smash singles in her country.
@DUMBASS NAVY
ALL YOU DUMB ASS RIWHORE STANS HAVE ARE EXCUSES. RIWHORE WORKED HER ASS OFF PROMOTING UNAPOLOGETIC AND IT BOMBED. WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE FOR THAT. 4 SOLD AS MUCH AS TTT WITH NO HITS. YOUR FAVE IS A BUM FLOP. DEAL
Solange you need to zip it, what has Yo ass done but get paid
under the table for Writing Yo ass off and really great I might add for Yo Countryfied Sister.
Rihanna got Twenty Million sold in the uk.
How many has Beyonce sold SOLANGE?
WHERE WERE THE HITS?
WHERE WERE THE LOGEVITY?
Nowhere!!!
The HIVS were in their own little imaginary world, damn drag queens dancing to Run The Flop, thinking it’s a smash while WFL spent 14 weeks on the worldwide charts.
CLEARLY THEY ARE THOUGH
BEYONCE IS SUCH A FLOP IT ISNT EVEN FUNNY
Thats all you guys have to ‘drag’ Beyone with. ONE era that wasnt even a fail. Where is the longevity? B**** been in the game over 15 years and is still selling, collecting them awards, gettin people talking and doing major events! THATS where the longevity is. Beyonce doesnt need #1 hits to sell albums, but still has spent more AVERAGED out weeks at #1 on the hot 100 than any other female artist!
ohh hush!
The Navy are the only ones in their own little world thinking BEYONCE is a flop ok. This aint even a just the Hives opinion. When you legends and the president of the US praising you, aspiring artists citing you already you done know you aint a flop. Only the Navy think that hits on the Hot 100 is be all and end all to success. You keep them tinted glasses on and carry on looking stupid!
LMAO is that HIVS can do is bring up what happened 15 years ago!!
@Fresh Navi Not until you close that rachet caps lock mouth of yours and talk sense!
@2013 NO hun, read my comment properly *rolls eyes*
AND TALK THAT TALK STILL BOMBED. DIAMONDS WAS NUMBER 1 AND UNPURCHASED STILL FLOPPED. DEAL
NAVY ISN’T DRAGGING BEYONCE, SHES
DRAGGING HERSELF, ITS NOT RIHANNA AND NAVY FAULT
BEYONCE FIRED HER DAD AND GOT INTO BED WITH JAYZ WHO HELPED BEYONCE TO GROSS OVER 200MILLION IN LESS THEN THE TIME IT TAKES THE INK TO DRY ON A PIECE OF PAPER,,,,DUUUUUH.
When Cough*, Cough* Cough* many look at
BEYONCE’S BODY OF WORK Which is very good, But her body of work still does not add up to her 350Million Net
Worth, Folks,,,now I will let that Simmer,,,See there are many of Us who can see and still got a Brain to Work with…
SEE,,,,Britney and Jessica Both has got
Britney has sold over a Billion in Perfumes and Jessica Simpson Clothes line has sold over a Billion and Cough*
Cough*, Cough*,,,,I will let that Simmer,,,,
Whart has Beyonce’s House sold, ?????
Just saying Bey Hive,,,,
Yep we know Bey Hive that is why yo asses are on Rih post trying to slow her down.
@BEY Hive Beyonce does Music for fun because she said out
of her own mouth no talking countryfied ass she had done it all while Rihanna and Others are in it to get paid and keep their Bills payed that is a big difference Rih Haters..
AND 4 SOLD 3 MILLION WITH NO HITS WHILE YOUR FAVE HAS #1 HITS AND ALL HER ALBUMS STILL FLOP.
3 MILLION? TRY 2 MILLION!!! AND TTT SOLD 4 MILLION!!! AND TTT IS STILL ON THE CHARTS!!! 4 FELL THE F*** OFF!!!
LAX WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
Collecting coins on the street so he can afford to have food on his table for the new year.
@That B*itch it seem that Yo ass collects more coins then I ever could
because Yo asses are in the US AND do a great job of trying to keep Beyonce’s Bank account tight and gets mad, pressed and as bitter as hell because the Navy tries to help Rihanna and her botton Line.
The Bey Hive be doing the best and the most they bought Beyonce a Million Dollar Ride, they also Helped Jayz pay for Beyonce that 5Million Diamond she has, They Helped Beyonce Buy Jayz and Herself a 40Million Jet, they also Helped Beyonce Buy Jayz a 4Million Dollar Watch,,,and,,,,, the Bey Hive also helped Jayz Buy their KAAAAANG BEY A 20Million piece of
Sand ooops I mean Land down there in Flordia Soooo
@That B*tch Yo Coin game is Waaaaay Bigger, Longer and
Better then Mine, and Navy Deery.
@SAINT,,,,Working ,,,,been had some heavy assignments
I am a Under cover,,,,,ofc,,,,i lead a team,,,Ofc.
@THAT B*TCH,,,Thats okay keep thinking that all of Rih’s Fans are broke and busted like you lmao.
She was 15 then. We all act irrationally as teenagers. Rihanna is not about powerhouse vocals, just like Beyonce is not about education or personality. Anyway, she’s definitely improved since then but I really hope she never attempts to sing Legendriah again.
No Rihanna is not about vocals full stop. And education and personality? Nobody knows s*** about Beyonce education and you dont have to be outlandish and a rebel to have a personality. I love Beyonce for her goofy personality! Just leave Beyonce out of it. This is Rihannas #fail.
Beyoncé has no personality. No real connection with fans. All they know is she’s married to FLOPZ. Her music is horrible and her voice is manly and ugly.
I think Beyonces fans should be the judge of whether she has connection with them or not. Not a biased Navy.
RIHANNA IS LOVE JUST LIKE SHE IS AND SHE
DON’T TRY TO BE PICTURE PERFECT THAT IS WHAT MAKE RIHANNA SO DOWN TO EARTH AND RELATABLE.
Everybody knows Beyoncé is secretive and her fans have claimed that keeps everything personal. She has no connection with hood HIVS.
Just because she keeps her personal life personal does not mean she does not have a connection with them dear.
I’m sorry but you are completely dumb. Just because some classy celebrities like Beyonce keep most of their personal life a secret does not mean that they don’t have a connection with their fan base. Besides, this “connection” you speak of that music artist should have comes through their music not all from shoving their personal life out in the open like some attention w****.
U call Jay z a “FLOP” but u stan for R**** (whom he owns?0
JAY DOES NOT OWN RIHANNA! BULL SHYT.
CIARA GOT ME GOOD 3 MILLION VIEWS IN 3 MONTHS
RIHANNA DIAMONDS 100 MILLION IN 1 MONTHS
WHO IS WINNING B******
Got me good is such a ghetto sounding track.
Rihhoe 5409385490 views and only 253k debut right before xmas !! w/ a #1 single … death!
Nicki debut – 253k in APRIL
why ciara got u pressed hun? u couldnt bring UP Nicki? or ur usual suspect beyonce ?
we all know R**** aint wanna see Ciara in person, she kept it f****** cute & deleted those tweets kiiii ! like a basic island b**** !
@psa other then beyonce MONEY Because we all know that Jay is the reason Beyonce’s money is as long as it is, but where are all the others on that money train, list them Deery,,,,
At the end of the day Rihanna got paid no matter what yo asses bytchs about,,,

This site is pure trash. U have so much disdain for Rihanna. But she carries this weak a** site. SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!!! This video has already been posted on here There’s a difference in blogging, and just being an outright idiot. Why did u shut off the comment section to Rihanna’s charitable efforts. This site is awful. No one cares about Ora, no offense. Leave the stupid comparisons alone.
Exactly. I am tired of it, we don’t need the shade just report what needs to be reported on. Even Perez being a catty gay man isn’t so shady to the people he reports. Like loosen your griddles and just report.
NEGATIVE VIBES DIRECTED TOWARD RIHANNA IS A SURE GUIDE LINE THAT RIHANNA IS DOING JUST FINE AND SOMEBODY’S IS PRESSED, STRESSED AND BITTER,,,,
You have shown this video like HUNDRED TIMES ALREADY. IT’S YOUR ANNUAL FEEL GOOD VIDEO.
Terrible. And the sad thing is, she still has more bad performances than good. Her good performances come in fits and starts.
But Rih is still getting Hired and paid
though.
Rihanna and Navy know this,,,
What you say and how you look does not define who you are,because some of the most beautiful people do the ugliest things.You owe it to the people who hate you, who disrespect you and who put you down,
because they’re the ones who have made you who you are today,for keeping your head up and not breaking down when they want you to.
Fresh Navi: Excel in ways my fave can’t? Sorry but my faves (beyonce, gaga, brandy, Whitney) have never sounded this terrible. U tried tho. And let’s see beyonce can dance sing and sell records all together rihanna can only sell. But u tried.
OHH WE HAVE TO HIDE BEHIND SO MUCH STARS?
BEYONCE CAREER ENDED IN 2008
GAGA CAREER IS ON A STEAD AND SURE DECLINE EVIDENCE MARRY THE NIGHT AND BORN THIS WAY
NOT GOING TO EVEN MENTION BRANDYS NEW ALBUM THAT IS CERTFIED TRIN
WHITNEY IS A LEGEND ONLY BAD B**** YOU SAN 4 TBH
@Fresh Navi
Lady gaga FLOps outsold R**** …. wheres your logic ?
Rihanna,,,
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.
@FIERCE AND IT DON’T MATTER ONE DAM’
BECAUSE THEIR MONEY DON’T HAVE WRITTEN ON IT HOW GOOD THEY CAN SING OR DANCE., RIHANNA CAN STILL WALK, STROLL OR STRUT INTO ANY BANK
AND GET THEM CHECKS SHE MAKES CASHED,, DEERY.
FLOP!!! Gurl Bye >>>> No Wonder no1z buying UnPurchased
Just like they bought 2/11?
Rihanna,,,
First Female Artist To Cross 3 Million Listeners On Popular Last.fm Service
SOOOOOO NOW MAKING 53MILLION
IN A SINGLE YEAR IS A FLOP,,,LAMO.
What’s worse is that this b**** won the contest!!
She probably screwed the judges.
@MARY,,,,ROTF,,,,LAMO You NAILED THAT ONE,,,,
@MARY YOU WON THIS ONE, I LOVE
YO COMMENT!!!!
Why Sam? Why did you have to remind us such a horrible performance?
Anyway It was a good laugh.
But i’m sorry even if she has improved vocally, she’s not good enough for Hero, the way she struggles at the end of Diamonds, and don’t tell me it’s the emotion of the song, everytime she hits a high note it’s like she’s dying on stage!
But, all my respect she’s a superstar!
It’s a damn shame that your depressed lonely a** have to look at Rihanna’s flaws to feel better. Get some self-esteem c***.
“Get some self-esteem c***”? This, coming from a person who verbally attacks everyone who has a different opinion from themselves. I mean talk about being a hypocrite.
@2013
I’m sorry to have an opinion! And by Rihanna’s flaw, do you mean how bad her singing is?
I don’t have to justify my opinion, she has hits, she’s gorgeous, but for me if you suck live, you’re not a singer point blank. Deal with it. 🙂
@Touché thanks!
@HILLY,,,
First Female Artist To Cross 3 Million Listeners On Popular Last.fm Service
Hilly
Navy and R know that
The more you try to crush your true nature, the more it will control you. Be what you are. No one who really loves you will stop. You see we Love Rihanna and what she has done with her life and She can be Compared to them all, and comparing her to those who came before her is all part of the game.
Thanks Lax 🙂
She was only 15
YOUR LATE BBZ I CHECKED ALL THESE HOUSE ALREADY….
Mavi Mission accomplished
keeping the lessors in check
I am happy that she didn’t give up.
Cmon how old was she , u know ur a hater when u judge a child grow up sam . For her age she did a good job a lot of people that age are out killing people and shootin up school
Let the girl have her moment damn. You compliment her on a few performance back to back and now you have to go back like 8 year to a performance of her untrained and natural voice. Just it give it a break and congratulate her, she is doing her thing and making money. And if anybody says but Beyonce at her age sounded amazing. Do you realized Beyonce father basically had her training since come out of the womb.
she simply Killed it and slayed …… the song and our ears, in that order.
shut yo flip floppin ass up.
Still blocked?
no i won’t :mrgrren”
I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a b****. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.
anything to keep the navy mad lol sad
Nobody is mad. 37 million records and 146 digital singles sold WW. 12#1 singles tied with a legend.
25 MILLION RECORDS AND 70 MILLION DIGITAL SINGLES. STOP LYING.
Navy isn’t mad .
Makes me SMH everytime. I remember back the day when we watched this in class on the sly, gave everyone jokes for days.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
Rih says she will keep being herself, and unafraid whether right or wrong, that is more admirable than the easy cowardice of surrender to conformity., and fools.
Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to
all of us.
fresh navi : Beyonce’s career never ended h** if she made 40 mil doing nothing and still has her record contract! As long as they remain household names and is steady keeping ur ass pressed. And Rihanna’s talent has never been widely acclaimed. She doesn’t hold that type of power. She only wishes. Thats y her faves are beyonce, brandy, and whitney as well. No shade. And dead at the navy saying her vocals has improved. She performed Diamonds on her 777 tour recently and it sounded awful. A big surprise from SNL and x factor.Also she was not sounding very good on her loud tour. So improved? Maybe not…
trick the charts don’t agree with you.
RIHANNA’S CAREER IS HOT AND HEAVY
THAT IS WHY YOU ARE ALL HERE TRYING TO STOP
HER CAREER CLIMB.
R Says she,,,
You don’t need anybody to tell her who she is because she know who and what she stand for!
fake
The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places.
But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now
mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.
Okay. I’m I the only one that is tired of the Rihanna shade? It’s tired, dry and not funny any more. I get that you guys at ThatPressedJuice dislike her but time and time again she has proven to stay on top of the charts, have successful eras, get magazine covers, get movie deals, successful perfumes and can book arenas anywhere. With all this Rihanna shade, no wonder you cannot get an interview from any top females/males in the game. You all sound pathetic and pressed, like get over it; Rihanna is here to stay and has solidified her spot in the game.
P.S. Rihanna you were very pitchy BUT if you were getting vocal lessons when you were younger than you would have sang that song. However, that performance was in the past and she is getting better now, all she needs is to learn how to control her voice and she will be good.
To the ones who say she can’t sing; well I can’t hold a note in Love the way you lie or California King bed but Rihanna can sing it so these stans shading her is backfiring, I know some of you cannot hold a note either so stop it like we all can blow like Whitney or Celine.
psssh let them look stupid and pressed,I actually enjoy it. it shows you how mad they are over her success, if they ain’t hatin something’s not right. *sits back, and sips tea in Navy headquarters*
NOPE we will continue to drag this h** as long as the publicity stunts continue & homos think its cute !
@PSA,,,Very well then,,,
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
JUST THINK AND LIKE ANOTHER POSTER STATED RIHANNA STILL WON..THE CONTEST.
yap, agree
This sh*t is damn near 10 years old…y’all need to stop…..
they dont get it, this is almost 10 years old
Why are the Rihanna fanchilds losing so much weave over this? Ain’t no shade far as I can see. Nice little retro throw back to one of Rih’s earlier gigs innit? Somebody untether that goat!
There are plenty of 14/15 yr olds that could slay her vocally. Even at the age shes at now haha!
YESSS! DEATH @ them using it as an excuse as though brandy hasn’t sounded the same since she was 12/13 in church ! Sam post a real singer, plz !
Theres many who can slay Her but that’s not going to stop
her from giving it all shes got, r u Nuts?
Rih Says,,,
If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.
complex mag just released the top 25 sexiest performers under 25 of course Rihanna came in at #1 Rita Ora came in at #2 just showing you Rita will always play second to Rihanna
http://www.complex.com/music/2012/04/the-25-sexiest-musicians-under-25/rita-ora
Stupid comment
How is it stupid? They just made your fave look good you pressed simple b****.
how is it stupid you simple b****
It’s Blue Ivy B****: Hun u have shade in ur gravatar so don’t play the victim. That’s the pot calling the kettle black. U hate when Sam throws shade but that’s exactly what the titanics have been doing for months now. They are also dumb enough to feed into his plan which is why this site has gained more titanics thumbing down comments as opposed to bey stans.
This is obviously a joke, I do not expect the REAL blue Ivy to look like this. No it is not calling the kettle black because I am not shading Beyonce 24/7 like how That PressedJuice is with Rihanna; in fact, all this shade with Beyonce, Rihanna, Xtina, Lady Gaga (I admit I call her Gentlemen Gaga) and the rest is futile because these ladies do not hate each other (at least not in public) It’s just really annoying and I am over this unnecessary shade. Just report on what needs to be report on and shut up. There are dozens of other blogs that keep it cute and keep it all about the article. Not bringing up old performances and using it to shade someone just for hits. It’s pathetic.
@ItsBlueIvyBitch I really do get your point, and it must be annoying for the Navy sometimes, but this is clearly Sams style, and its gets the Stans talking. If you despised it that much, then why give him the hits and visit this site! And your avi is still mocking a baby so just remember that, joke or not.
This site has a new article every few hours, that’s the main reason why I keep coming back but that doesn’t mean the shade is basic and repetitive. I just wish the Hive, Navy, Lambs, Monsters, etc… can stop the shading and just stick to the articles.
PRESSED JUICE,,And just thin you don’t see the PRESSED
JUICE OR Rihanna haters giving the young artist any breaks at all. They seem to just baste in the fact that Rihanna sounds bad and because Rihanna sound so HORRID to them Rihanna isn’t supposed to be ACHIEVING THE SUCCESS SHE HAS ACHIEVED.

@LOYALYT LMAO SHERLOCK,,,,NAVY IS THE
HEAD BYTCHES, YOU SEE,,,,,LMAO.SHERLOCK.
haaha
Wait a minute, Diamonds music video is VEVO Certified? And this is after the hood hive were writing incoherently about how bad the video was. I guess the world thought differently.
OmgOmgOmg VEVO CERTIFIED! *Clasps face* This is like no other!!!!!!
Yep, she is now at 3,172,123,706 VEVO views, and VEVO has to pay her royalties. When will your fav??? When??? I want to know when???
12 VMAS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3 VMAS enough said.
Is Beyonce getting paid royalties for her VMA’s??? Nope, didn’t thinik so. Is Rihanna getting paid by VEVO and Youtube for her 3,172,123,706? YEP.
So who’s winning? Tell Bey to keep her VMAs she paid for (Riri has 2 Video of the Year BTW) and Riri will keep her royalty checks.
You still didn’t answer though, when will your fav have 3,172,123,706 VEVO views?? When???
Who really cares when Beyonce has more in the bank than Rihanna anyway, check her net worth! Shes being recognised where it matters cos anyone can click on a damn video, me included! And tell me, where are your receipts for these ‘paid’ VMAS? Or is that just another failed attempt to shade?
Shes being recognised where it matters
But she is not being quoted in the histoRIH books along side Madonna, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson and The Beatles. Rihanna on the other hand is being quoted along side Madonna, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson and The Beatles so really, Rihanna is the one who is recognized where it matters.
Um yes she is 16 grammys springs to mind and a lot of other achievments aswell boo. You might wanna do some research before you throw that mess around.
Show me an article that quotes Beyonce in the same sentence as Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Madonna and the Beatles collectively.
SMH @Teenage Dream person just does not get the point lol. Rihanna is quoted alongside legends for #1s that does not make her any better than her peers the likes Gaga, Beyonce or Adele who have all achieved different things in their careers. And will be rememberd for different things.
Rihanna will also be remembered for being one of the youngest artists to sell out the Stade De France. I want to know, when has Beyonce sold out the Stade De France??? When??
DEAD @ Loyalty ! they always run to flop, unimportant statistics whenever u read them (Nazi)… Nicki was the first to be Vevo Certified !! Yet they call her a flop!! but the shoe is on the other foot w/ R**** !!!
Um Rihanna was Vevo certified first, get your facts straight.
YEP CERTIFIED AND RIH DID NOT POP HER
PUS ONE SINGLE TIME, AMAZING.
Rih Saya,,,
Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure, of knowing them Bastards from
Beyonce’s Bey Hive is going to be F** with My Navy
Again.
Rih Will always be remembered as a Fashion Icon,,
Rih says
never mind the fashion. When one has a style of one’s own, it is always 20 times better.”
@TEENAGE DREAM CHECK THIS! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2254181/YouTube-wipes-billions-video-views-finding-faked-music-industry.html
And yet you wanna come for Bey about ‘paying’ for awards with NO PROOF watsoever _/ _/ _/
@MYA,,,We don’t even come for Bey like we want to because what you and the Bey Hive see is Mild as to what we could come at Bey with, Deery!
http://thegrio.com/2012/09/07/rihanna-wins-top-honors-at-mtv-video-music-awards/
@Mya see if you and the Bey Hive can Find something wrong with this Rihanna Win,,,,since yall bytche about everything Rihanna,,,
hmmm guess so
It doesn’t even matter, this is Davidina trying to comfort himself after they dragged Rita Whora on the other post. The FACT remains no matter how much you hate Riri, she will FOREVER be quoted along side Mariah Carey, Madonna, The Beatles and Michael Jackson in the histoRIH books. When will your fav?? Rihanna has already made HistoRIH.
She will also be quoted in the HistoRIH books as being one of the youngest acts to sale out the Stade de France. So hate as much as you want but Rihanna is not going anywhere, her name is already engraved in the HistoRIH books.
@TEEANAGE DREAM U R SO RIGHT ON, THEY HATE
ON RIH, AND THE NEW ARTIST BECAUSE THEY WANT JUST A FEW TO GET ALL THE SHINE.
Rihanna got them 5 number i’s in the
uk like Elvis did,,,,,,things like that means
a whole lot to the music realm of things
and the music History books!
I find this somewhere about some fans and i think is really accurate, the question was “Do you think Madonna (OR formerly MJ fans) b**** as much about their idol?.
and someone answered this:
MJ fans come across as worshippers and see nothing wrong in anything he ever did. Total and absolute devotion.
Madonna fans can be critically but they don’t let it rule them or destroy their attitude towards her. They still will shell out mad dollars to see their idol!
Prince fans are actually 2 kinds and vastly different, there’s the fans who have moved along with Prince throughout his career and still value his output and then there’s the fans who got stuck around 1993-1995 and feel betrayed by everthing released since on a deep personal level.
What do you think of other fan bases, do they b**** about their idol?.
MJ fans: People like my dad who regard Michael as the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Madonna fans: People like my dad who hate on Madonna the most but deep down are actually stans, they also stan for Gaga.
Prince fans: The most intelligent of the bunch because they stan for his highness. My dad has no idea who Prince is, if he did he would probably hate him too.
Lol, i think it is true MJ fans think he is second coming of Jesus and i think Madonna fans are the most proud about their idol because we love her just like she is, we don’t try to portray her as a better musician or person, we want the world to know that she is the most evil among them haha, Prince fans, most of us are very critics with his work but that’s only because we know he’s the best and that he can do better.
Rihanna Stans: The best if they’re on my half of the navi, if they’re not they suck
I agree, I feel like Whitney and Michael fans paint a picture of divine (which they were) and neglect to appreciate them when they weren’t on top. Mariah fans do this to an extent also, but I feel like we aren’t as uptight as the Whitney and Michael fans who won’t admit that they weren’t as great, musically, before their death…..or maybe death plays a role. Madonna probably have got to be the best stans out there (after the lambs that is 😉 ) because they ACCEPT her as she is and don’t live in the past like the Whitney, Michael, and even Mariah fans do. Prince is music personified in my eyes and he is one of the very FEW people in the world alongside Freddie, David Bowie, etc that REALLY MAKE MUSIC for real so I understand. Overall, I feel like since Madonna was expected to be gone within 5 years of her debut people don’t expect as much of her as they do Michael, or Whitney, or even Mariah. Mariah and Whitney depended on their voices and once their voices were altered, I think everyone became their critic and unfortunately Whitney wasn’t able to bounce back (and I think she kinda lost her LOVE for music in the process because of media). Michael always had the media’s pressure on him to outdo Thriller (But he did!! Bad was so much better) in the sense of commercial success and dance moves……so he didn’t really deliver that in the eyes of the public. Prince and Madonna on the other hand just made THEIR music and the media never really puts that much pressure on them to sing as well or dance as well or even entertain as well as they used to. For example, when Mariah flopped with Glitter EVERYONE and their grandmother made a HUGE deal out of it even though “Loverboy” was the best selling single from that album and the soundtrack album was the 5th best that year as well as selling 1+ million in the U.S. and 3 – 3.5 million ww. People didn’t make that much of a fuss when American Life, Just Whitney, Damita Jo, etc all flopped. Too much expectation on some of these artists, that’s why I stan so hard for Mariah even though I love Madonna, Celine, Whitney, etc…..she was SHUNNED by the media after Glitter and then she CAME back harder.
I am saying all this out of love for all these artists.
@ƸӜƷ MC ƸӜƷ
I agree with whole thing and i don’t think Mariah’s Glitter was that bad, i love “Never Too Far Away” but the thing with her is more about her voice, Whitney for her addiction and MJ, well this is a complicated story, Madonna was crucified for all the political message but in the USA, notice that after American Life her success in the USA is has decreased, people saw her as an anti-american, she has never been the same after that in the US and Prince, God knows how much i love this man but he refuse to give us fans more of him, there is no video, promo, rare interviews, only concerts but thats not enough.
Madonna gets crucified because she’s Madonna. Her whole career is based off of that and its nothing new. For the likes of Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Michael, etc who were always praised, it was difficult for them to be bashed like they were. Madonna is a survivor so I don’t nearly feel as bad for her because I know I can count of her to still be okay after all of it, and Mariah as well to an extent. Prince is a TRUE artist in my opinion for just giving up commercial all together and pissing off b****** to this day. I wish Mariah would give me a jazz/blues album Prince style.
Most people that bash Glitter don’t know what they are talking about, the soundtrack is actually really good. I mean Lead the way, Last night a DJ saved my life, Reflections, etc were all great.
This is judging fro the two biggest fan bases on this site (I proudly dont belong to either lol), but from what I can tell the Navy are the least critical of their fav even though she has a lot to be critical of but always find something to back her faults up with (which is good i guess), the Hive admit a bit more when theyre not feelin’ something Beyonce does and give Rihanna credit more than Navy give Beyonce credit in general. But dont get it twisted, both stan bases have their delusionalists and extremists.
@Yvonne
I agree.
Your right! I noticed that too. Yea both fan bases are really crazy but Beyonce’s stans kinda have a right to be because she is a killer performer… I can’t say the same thing for Rihanna though smdh.
“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.”
http://nobullshhh.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/whats-out-for-2012/
Doesn’t matter, Rihanna’s name is in the histoRIH books along legends like Mariah Carey, Madonna, Michael Jackson, The Beatles. You can post all the repetitive vile hatred you want but Rihanna is not going anywhere, her name is already engraved in the HistoRIH books.
This will remain as a constant RIHminder that there’s so much power in her name.
Please fume, continue fuming, you’ll be fuming for generations to come but the fact still remains that Rihanna’s name will be quoted along side Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, The Beatles and Madonna for generations to come.
**Sips Vita Coco**
She wont be remembered as one of the most talented though. Maybe most overrated. #Whatashame.
She’ll be remembered for her music and will be quoted along side Mariah Carey, Madonna, Michael Jackson and The Beatles. Whether you call her untalented or not, that is subjective all together but the FACT still remains that she has already engraved her name in the histoRIH books and will be FOREVER remembered whether you like it or not.
@Teenage Dream Hunny, music programmes already shade Rihanna by not mentioning her along side these legends dispite her achievments because its an insult! Lol, can you imagine years from now when the hardcore Navy fanbase have died out! Its talent, impact and respct that lives on.
@Dee
you mean like MTV??
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1697792/rihanna-madonna-number-one-singles.jhtml
How about VH1
http://m.vh1.com/news/article.rbml?id=1697792
You tried though…
http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-official-top-10-biggest-selling-female-singles-artists-of-all-time-revealed-1670/
Facts? What facts? I never knew spewing out nonsensical lies were facts. Legends get remembered. Icons don’t Rihanna is just a phenomenal music and fashion icon, that’s it. People have only acknowledged her for her success in digital music sales and staying in the spotlight. Mariah Carey, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, (etc. ) are who are actual legends who will be remembered because of their huge influence, talent, dedication, domination in their genre, creativity, originality (etc.). So please stop making her out to be bigger then she really is.
History books, my ass. Please. Her “achievements” are so stacked, arbitrary and fluky that they ultimately become benign. Few will remember or care once she’s past her era. If you think anyone places her alongside the likes of Beatles and Michael Jackson, then you’re an example of just how delusional and basically stupid the average Rihanna fan is. Rihanna’s success is a basically a random Jeopardy question waiting to happen.
I can see it now…
“Which singer sold the most the most digital singles?” Is it:
A. Adele
B. Ciara
C. Rihanna
…and most people probably wouldn’t pick C.
When all is said and done, Rihanna will be most remembered for getting her ass kicked by her boyfriend. That’s her claim to fame, that’s her raison d’etre. And from the looks of it, she knows it too…which is probably why every time she needs some publicity, or sits down to do an interview, he’s what she talks about.
What @MC said below.
Rihanna will be remembered and this is a fact.
Umbrella, 7 weeks at #1, 10 weeks in the UK
We Found Love 10 weeks at #1
Diamonds, Rihanna’s fastest rising single of her career, #1 worldwide since release, has not left the top ten since release, #1 for 10 weeks in Germany since release. #1 for 8 weeks in f****** South Africa since release.
One of the youngest artists to sell out the Stade de France
3,172,123,706 VEVO views
2nd most #1′s in the world (second to madonna)
2nd most sold singles in the UK (and might bypass her)
and you’re trying to convince me people will forget about Rihanna. Rihanna has had a massive impact on the POP scene and it doesn’t matter how much vile you throw, the pudding is in the FACTS and Rihanna WILL be remembered whether you like it or not.
Whether the navy dies out or not, no one can have such a huge impact and be forgotten, she’ll be remembered and her name will be a constant RIHminder about just how much of a force she is in the music scene. You will just have to deal with it.
Who said Rihanna will be forgotten though?
So true chile
The fact of the matter is it’s happening right before your eyes, she is being tied with Madonna (legend), being put in the same sentence with Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson and The Beatles. She is being quoted with legends.
This “being quoted with legends” is nothing more than comparing accomplishments between music artists. It still doesn’t mean that current successful and popular music artists like Justin Beiber, Christina Aguilar, Beyonce, Rihanna, (etc.) will become legends so please come out of the land of delusional.
It still doesn’t mean that current successful and popular music artists like Justin Beiber, Christina Aguilar, Beyonce
May not become legends, that is up for debate but one thing that cannot be denied is Rihanna will be a legend. She is one of the youngest acts to sell out the Stade De France. She is tied with Madonna with her 12 #1s and might bypass Madonna’s single sales in the UK.
Rihanna will be a LEGEND.
It is happening right before your eyes and I know it is hard for you to deal with but you’re just going to have to find a way.
The fact is Rihanna will NOT be a legend. POINT. BLANK. PERIOD.
The Legends wasn’t Legends when
they started out they worked and became Legends.
Just because Rih don’t sound like Mariah you “Wood Heads”
that do not mean She can’t work hard and Become One of Our Legends, and Besides that RIHANNA is well on her way!
@TEENAGE DREAM PREACH,,,OFC,,,,
Rihanna will be Remember Better then many of the Legends of today and if Rih don’t be REMEMBERED for nothing else She will be Remembered for making it to “HBIC” STATUS DURING THE TIME THAT BEYONCE WAS IN THE GAME,,,LAMO.
#DEAD @ her being compared to a can of Hormel chili. So mean, yet so accurate. 😆
Who still remembers that, Though??! Rihanna spent 10 wks at #1 so what ?!!
Do they remember the lyrics ??? NO !
Hell, R**** dont ! she didn’t write it !
NAVY is just happy to have Rihanna in the game and doing so well. Since we all that got a working brain know that everybody isn’t Adele, Mariah are Whitney, Or even Jennifer Hudson for that matter. We are happy to see more then one black artist doing her thing. For so many years it has been Beyonce at the top and Promoting her music so dam hard you just might find beyonce’s ass in your kitchen trying to show yo asses how to make hot water corn bread. But since Rihanna landed in the united stated RIHANNA Mania has set in and has not let us since back in 2005 and many can’t stand to see Rih, Rih shinning so bright.
Oh dear.
Sorry rihject will never be put in the same sentence of greatness as MJ, MC, nor the Beatles. What a lie. Lol at navy believing their own sad delusions. She will be considered a culture icon like peewee Herman, William hung, Katy perry, Justin Bieber, and MC Hammer but that’s it. Legendary?? If she isn’t legendary 7 years into the game, chances are she will never be…
LMAO Poor you, she is already being quoted with legends.
http://www.billboard.com/news/rihanna-s-diamonds-shines-atop-hot-100-1008025052.story#/news/rihanna-s-diamonds-shines-atop-hot-100-1008025052.story
Its not #1s that make you a legend smh.
But whenever the quote number ones from the legends, RIhanna’s name will also be quoted. She is already in the histoRIH books.
100 million records sold (she got the plaque and everything)
12 number one singles (4th most in the U.s)
2nd most #1’s in the world (second to madonna)
90 million dollar tour
30 million albums sold.
Biggest digital selling artist ever
#PhuckYoIrellevantFave
First Learn the word is IRRELEVANT.
Second. My fav is Michael Jackson & Mariah Carey.
But Props to Rihanna because she’s a WORKING WOMAN.
and I’ll let the latter sink in. Lets see if anyone gets that.

http://www.digitalspy.ca/music/news/a433676/madonna-rihanna-biggest-selling-female-singles-artists-of-all-time.html
And be rest assured she has more #1’s coming, plus she is already in the histoRIH books for being the digital queen.
How does that pie taste??
@Fierce I agree.
You just did tho….
DEAD @100Mil Albums.. wasn’t it just at 37Mil then 43 ? I thought y’all said it was 100Mil singles sold ? Delusions !
PSA (FAF)
School is important, it emphasizes the importance of reading. Please make sure you pay attention in school, lest you look like the idiot you’ve made yourself out to look here.
He said 100 million “records” and not “albums”. There’s a difference.
Unpurchased slid down to #19 this week on the Billboard 200. Almost out of the top 20 at only 5 weeks. There are some albums that were released either at the same time or before Rihanna’s latest abortion, and are still in the top 10.
Just sayin…
But it sold 65k this week!
I guess I’m supposed to be impressed by that. Like I said, she’s barely hanging onto top 20 status after only a month.
~15k extra last minute buys for xmas? mmh. i dunno. is that much?
whatever. i don’t really care anymore. 😛
not to forget it was freakin cheap on amazon this week.
valid thing. ohh. :/
@L21480,, Navy don’t give a shyt if you r impressed or Stressed,,,as long as we know that RIHANNA says That you should
have a unique gift to offer this world. Be true to yourself, be kind to yourself, read and learn about everything that interests you and keep away from people who bring you down. When you treat yourself kindly and respect the uniqueness of those around you, you will be giving this world an amazing gift… YOU!”
PS
Rih to a “T”.
Dear Navi members,
True that Rihanna has 12 #1s and is indeed alongside the legends so by association she’s a legend, right? Well, Beyonce has 16 Grammys, amongst the legends, so does that make her a legend by association too? Curiosity is killing me. Lets keep it peaceful and kute.
http://gifsoup.com/view/451549/beyonce-grammys-o.gif
Exactly.
Lol, so true.
Agreed.
OMG thank F*** you said that! You have your head screwed on and you stan for LEGEND. Notice the Hive dont throw that around half as much as the Navy throw around her 12 #1s all of a sudden shes up there with MJ and the beatles! I am a Hive but just because Bey is associated with legends on other things, does not MAKE her on the same level as them. The Navys delusion (especially ones like @Teenage Dream) is so pitiful. You have to literally put the food on the table for them to digest.
@DAVID, LOYALTY, BEY HIVE, HATERS,,,
If anyone ever questioned Rihanna’s success, these new titles just prove to the world that Rihanna is an artist who can do no wrong with her music. “We Found Love” is produced by Calvin Harris. When the single dropped, the lyrics stood out and the beat got everyone dancing. It wasn’t till we got wind of the video that controversy was stirred.
HATE ALL YO ASSES WANT TO AND KEEP POSTING BEYONCE’S RESUME JUST PROVES TO RIHANNA’S,,,,NAVY THAT NAVY AND RIHANNA IS WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! STAY BITTER, BYTCHES,,,,
Rihanna is not yet a legend, she is being quoted with legends. Her career has just began, she’ll be a legend soon.
The fact of the matter is, it is happening right before your eyes whether you like it or not, Rihanna is being quoted with legends and her achievements have only began.
2 US Vogue, 2 UK Vogue, French Vogue, 3 billion VEVO views, tied with Madonna on US #1s and quoted in the same sentence as Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson and The Beatles. Might bypass Madonna in the UK as the artist who’s sold the most singles, SOLD OUT THE STADE DE FRANCE.
It is happening right before your eyes, you are witnessing H-I-S-T-O-R-I-H and you’ll have to deal with it whether you like it or not. She is being quoted with legends and is on her way to being one.
And the delusion continues lol……
But so have Beyonce, Gaga etc all have impressive resumes like this for their different achievments but that you are putting Rihanna on a pedastool like she is on the same level as the legends! Thats the point.
When has Beyonce sold out the Stade De France??
I’ll wait.
And again, show me an article that quotes Beyonce in the same sentence as Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Madonna and The Beatles collectively.
Lady Gaga has also made an impact, not Beyonce though.
RIP. Completely missed my point. So by your logic, since she’s being “quoted with the legends” + her success = she’ll one day become a legend. Well Beyonce is also quoted with legends like Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, etc + she’s successful = someday she’ll become a legend too. Interesting.
P.S. for you future reference, commercial success doesn’t make you a legend, look at Nora Jones, Alanis Morissette, etc all extremely successful at one point but still not legends. People like Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Prince, etc didn’t have much commercial success for the most part but they are massive icons in music and legends. Also being “quoted with legends” doesn’t make you one, Justin Bieber is quoted with Michael Jackson but he’ll never be on his level or a legend.
A legend is someone who:
a. has an impact on the music industry and pop culture as a whole a la Madonna’s Erotcia & sexbook era, MJ’s Thriller & Bad eras…..
b. impacts not only their genre & music a la the Whitney’s The Bodyguard, Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc
c. breaks down musical barriers a la Madonna, MJ, Whitney, Donna Summers, Prince, etc
d. leaves a memorable musical legacy a la Thriller, Ray of Light, Bodyguard soundtrack, Come on over (Shania Twain , Daydream, Believe (cher), Emancipation of Mimi, etc
e. innovation a la Michael, Janet, Madonna, Prince, etc….
f. impacts other a la Michael = Usher, JT, JB, CB, Beyonce, etc
Madonna = Britney, Rihanna, etc
Janet = Aaliyah, Ciara, Beyonce, etc
Mariah = Christina Aguilera, JoJo, Leona Lewis, Rihanna, etc
You were saying?
Oh you really went there by saying Beyonce ha no impact:

Rihanna is only 7 years in her career, she has impacted pop culture a lot and has created trends. She has already inspired 3 acts, Paige Thomas, Willow Smith and Kat Graham. Her career has only began, she will be a legend because she is innovative, a risk taker, knows how to reinvent herself and can perform multiple genres with much success.
Whether you like it or not, it is happening.
We’ve seen Beyonce before, her name is Tina Turner, We’ve seen Lady Gaga (I hate her but have huge respect for her), her name is Madonna.
Though Rihanna draws her influences from Madonna and Mariah, we’ve never seen Rihanna before. Just like only Rihanna can sing a Rihanna song, only Rihanna can do Rihanna. All those who’ve tried to do Rihanna have done so with little success (See Rita Whora, Willow Smith, Kat Graham).
Billboard Top Pop Songs Artists 1992-2012, Top 20:
1. Rihanna
2. Pink
3. Britney Spears

20. Avril Lavigne
It’s happening.
Wow! Inspiring three mediocre flops is very impressive. Yep, creating trends such as wearing menstrual red hair is very significant. You know I also never knew being completely unoriginal is very innovative. Look sweetie, it’s not ever gonna happen so deal.
We’ve never seen a Rihanna before? Right because the world has never seen a manufactured generic pop star trying to combine their culture into their music and image before. Gurl please, you’re only right about one thing, no one can sing a Rihanna song because no else wants too sound like a dying goat.
“You know I also never knew being completely unoriginal is very innovative.”
That line there, and you stan for Beyonce? Please let’s not, I have to got to bed soon.
Sorry Sweetie, but I don’t stan for Beyonce. It’s funny how you assumed that as if it’s only the Beyonce stans who dislike the delusional navy and Rihanna.
” It’s funny how you assumed that as if it’s only the Beyonce stans who dislike the delusional navy and Rihanna.”
So you’ve admitted you HATE Rihanna, that means we can take all that you’ve written about her as biased rubbish much suited for the toilet to be flushed. That means I won’t waste anymore of my valuable time on you.
Have a good night.
Wow the delusional navy just gets more hypocritical by the second. Darling, you need to come back down to earth because you like so many other Rihanna stans have made it quite clear that you hate Beyonce therefore you are bias and therefore your comments are just as pointless. Lastly, please learn how to read because I clearly said I dislike Rihanna and the navy. I never said I hated them. I don’t care that much to completely put all my time into dragging you heffas.
@Teenage Dream (Beyonce’s Weave)
You and I have had much disagreement in the past and for that I assume that you think I dislike Rihanna because of her success or that I’m unhappy with her success? I am actually rather happy that black artists like Beyonce, Rihanna, and Nicki Minaj can be successful in this world, but I am not under the illusion that these people will become legends. You OVERESTIMATE Rihanna. Rihanna has not been innovative or had an impact on anything. This is a fact, you posting commercial success will not change that. Rihanna is a successful person, I agree but she will never be a legend. Having an IMPACT is changing the face of your music, for example, when Mariah debuted with “Vision of Love” and it went to #1 on Hot 100 it was unusual because it was a ballad song that went to #1 unlike the pop atmosphere of that era so more artists adopted to the ballads and her singing technique is very much prevalent to artist like Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, JoJo, and even Tamar Braxton whom you see Mariah has an influence and impact on. Michael Jackson and his videos forever changed the way music videos were shot like mini-movies. Madonna re-invented what it is to be a POP GIRL and she was the first female, business-woman, pop girl to defy the barriers of s**, religion, race, etc to make room for future girls like Katy and Britney. Janet did the same but for BLACK girls like Rihanna, Ciara, Beyonce, etc. Whitney brought that “big-voiced” diva to POP for people like Celine, Mariah, Christina, etc. What has Rihanna done or brought to the table that we haven’t seen already? Britney has does what she’s done and Katy’s doing what she’s doing……
Rihanna hasn’t created any trends. The electro-pop stuff was already done by Justin Timberlake with his second album and by Nelly F., Timberland, etc……..Dubstep was done by Britney, etc….
“She has already inspired 3 acts, Paige Thomas, Willow Smith and Kat Graham.” She hasn’t inspired anyone, their label is trying to copy her success formula with these new girls. I don’t know about the others but Rita has always named Beyonce as her biggest influence and so forth.
“Her career has only began, she will be a legend because she is innovative, a risk taker, knows how to reinvent herself and can perform multiple genres with much success.”
She is not innovative, she hasn’t done anything of that nature. A “risk-taker” that follows the dance music trend? Rihanna is not half the risk taker that Michael, Janet, Madonna, Prince, and even Mariah are. Everything that Prince, Janet, and Madonna did was risk. Michael wasn’t as much of a risk taker but he took a lot of risk with Thriller – Bad and it paid off as well as Cher with Believe. Mariah also took a risk coming from Music Box/Daydream to a full R&B, urban Butterfly. When Rihanna makes music defying the popular genre of the moment, or talks about controversial topics like sexuality, homosexuality, race, politics, religion, etc THEN she can be a risk taker. Gaga is more of a risk taker than Rihanna.
You Rihanna Navy always cling on to the “different genre’s” excuse. Yes she’s done multiple genre’s but not nearly as much as Madonna, Prince, or Michael. They’ve done it all and then some. Her genre range isn’t impressive, even Beyonce has dipped in a couple of genres and don’t bring up the reggae genre excuse, that was her influence like R&B is Beyonce’s.
And when you say she can re-invent herself, I assume you mean her style and hair right? Look at Madonna transition from Music to American Life or Whitney Huston from Whitney – I’m your baby tonight! etc……
Rihanna isn’t as special as you make her out to be. Rihanna for when she first came out was a Beyonce clone (or have you forgotten) and now she’s at Janet/Madonna phase because apparently she’s the “black Madonna”………
Furthermore, this has NOTHING to do with my like and dislike for her but rather the FACT that she won’t be a legend. You seem to forget that Madonna has been here for 3-4+ generation of POP girls and Mariah, Celine, Whitney, etc for 2-3+ generation of pop girls. Lets remember that Rihanna is in the same poll as Katy Perry and her peers and only time will tell if she’s a “legend” as you say. Her prime isn’t even as big as you make it out to be…….you act like she’s selling “Immaculate” or “Thriller” numbers the way the Navi blows her out of proportion.
@David and even at that Rihanna is still in the Game,,,
Rihanna is a mere 23 years-old but quite the accomplished recording artist. Since 2005, Rihanna has released 5 albums and he 6th one is on its way. As Rihanna racks up awards, fans, and the money, she is now going down in history for her musical success.
Rihanna’s single “We Found Love” was released on September 22nd. The song has peaked at the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 making this Rihanna’s eleventh number one record. Legends Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder only had 10 number ones in their careers taking Rihanna one notch above them! Rihanna finds herself tied with Whitney Houston and one below Madonna and The Supremes.
Rihanna tied with Whitney and one Below Madonna
And all of this before Her Latest Album even Hit…
RIH’S Name mentioned more then Bey’s name,,,is mentioned with Legends here lately,,
Other artists with plenty of number one records are Michael Jackson, with 12, Elvis Presley who has 17, Mariah Carey has a cool 18, and The Beatles dominate with 20! Rihanna has so many years in her career to come; we can easily see her placing in the top 3 slots if not overtaking The Beatles.
Rih’s, name with Legends, Names,,,
The pattern for Rihanna’s success has also lead to award titles. Rihanna’s songs climb charts earning her the honor of racking up 20 top 10’s faster than any solo artist. It has taken Rihanna six years and two months to get here which is 3 months faster than Madonna. She is the fourteenth artist with the title and fifth lady.
Uh oh. Its not #1s that make you a legend. #Justsayin.
How stupid is this Samantha. You watched that “Got 2 Be Real” video and now wanna make a post out of the clip you saw…..You’re a f**. Anyway, this is no surprise, there was no studio to clean up them vocals there. Whatever, the b*tch made it so…..
Rihanna will be remembered and this is a fact.
Umbrella, 7 weeks at #1, 10 weeks in the UK
We Found Love 10 weeks at #1
Diamonds, Rihanna’s fastest rising single of her career, #1 worldwide since release, has not left the top ten since release, #1 for 10 weeks in Germany since release. #1 for 8 weeks in f****** South Africa since release.
One of the youngest artists to sell out the Stade de France
3,172,123,706 VEVO views
2nd most #1′s in the world (second to madonna)
2nd most sold singles in the UK (and might bypass her)
and you’re trying to convince me people will forget about Rihanna. Rihanna has had a massive impact on the POP scene and it doesn’t matter how much vile you throw, the pudding is in the FACTS and Rihanna WILL be remembered whether you like it or not.
Whether the navy dies out or not, no one can have such a huge impact and be forgotten, she’ll be remembered and her name will be a constant RIHminder about just how much of a force she is in the music scene. You will just have to deal with it.
Fun fact: “We Found Love” was Rihanna’s most successful song in the US, “Umbrella” in the UK, “Only Girl” in Australia, “Man Down” in France.
Your argument is going to have to be extremely convincing for you to make a case that RIhanna’s music will be forgotten.
Pon De Replay, which was released in 2005 was just certified 2x platinum recently. People are still buying freaking Pon De Replay, released in 2005, people are still buying it.
Birthday cake, with no video, no promo, no performance, no nothing sold over 1 million copies and is certified platinum.
No way will Rihanna be forgotten.
Please tell me where anyone said the words ‘Rihanna will be forgotton’. The argument is about makes someone have legendary status.
what makes*
She already is. Everyone forgot to buy Unpurchased.
Rihanna says,,,
Control Your Own Destiny or Someone Else Will, because Shes not letting her haters control Her destiny with their hate of her.
Poor Navy. They still think number one singles make their talentless flop a legend.
@lotus no we don’t but it all help s in the final analysis u
Idiot.
You bytches don’t want Rihanna and her Navy to have nothing You Dirty byches,,, And just the nerves of yo ass to think that the navy thinks Singles are everything you dumb ass bytch.
Has anyone seen the official charts company sight,
“Talk That Talk” is at #97 and “LOUD” which is arguably Rihanna’s most iconic album is at #84, and these albums were released in different years. Rihanna has 3 f****** albums on the charts (and 4 on the Urban charts), you’re trying to convince yourselves Rihanna will not be a legend. Right now, you’re witnessing H-I-S-T-O-R-I-H.
I said Rihanna is being quoted with legends, I never said Rihanna is a legend, Rihanna is a legend in the making. Her career has just began, she sold out the Stade De France, how many acts today can say that. She sold out the O2 arena 10 times, 10 freaking times, how many acts today can say that.
She has added 3 stadiums on her Diamonds world tour in Africa (2 in South Africa, 1 in Ivory Coast), how many acts today can say that?
RIHANNA,,,,CAN BECOME A LEGEND,,,,
AND SHES WORKING HARD ON IT,,,,
wow
Errrrrmmm ouch.org!
Well she get dem coins now, so although not a vocal beast her hustle paid off.
she won right? so im guessing she did enough to impress the audience
plus you are comparing a performance by a 14 year old untrained singer with a 3.5 vocal range singing a song by a well trained daughter of a great singer who is reported to have the widest vocal range known to men in her prime.
I’m sorry. If she was signed by 15 it meant she was trying to pursue a career in music from before. NOBODY who is trying to be a proffesional singer should be allowed to sound like that.
This is sooo unnecessary Sam Is begging for STANs fight
The struggle is real….
All y’all b****** p**** stink !
We learned it from your mama.
DAMN What the Fck Was that???? You don’t need talent these days to be considered a singer that’s for sure! I was in the middle of drinking my 200 dollar champagne out of my favorite wine glass, when i clicked on the video that s*** (Champagne glass) shattered in my hand…
LMAO you have me dying laughing here!!!!!!!!!!
Did the $200 part need to be in there though?
YASSSSSS. A LIFE OF LUXURY.
it was a terrible terrible performance but I think rihanna has come a long a way and can actually sing decent once n a while. At least she improved somewhat.
@OMG Rih says to,,
Shine with all you have. When someone tries to blow you out, just take their oxygen and burn brighter.
And where Rih has traveled since then years ago well yo ass know that is why u r here calling her failure like the rest of her haters or.
yes
Slow news day????
Nothing’s slower than riwhore’s morals.
LMAO my f****** ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep laughting while Rih keep banking
her wins.
Money can’t buy talent boo boo.
yes yes, she will bank, im not saying she wont or doesnt. But this post is about that vocal performance, and well, my ears are still hurting…
Rihanna won the pageant and this breath taking performance sealed the deal. The judges saw the potential in her and awarded her the prize and all these later it came to pass. Thanks for showing us where it all started and how much Rihanna has grown as a singer.
No matter what people might say about Rihanna her chart records speak for her. I mean after all they act the same kind of fool when Madonna, Britney and some others came along and look at them now. They bytch, bytche, bytch and it’s a good thing Rihanna don’t let it bother her. Rih is great at letting the idol chit chat roll down her back like water off a ducks back.
Rihanna don’t let the words can’t, want, will not ever cross her mind but she does make for sure to use words like I can, I will and I am going to try something new and thus far it has worked well for her. Keep trying to knock her and by all means keep right on with the different titles to tell us how you really feel about Rihanna and her much success. I mean after all look at the hate comments, I mean if Rihanna was this no talent artist like many of you claim then why is there so many commenters saying negative comments about the mega super star?
From getting hired by Jay he saw the Potential
and that is why she was hired and i know that makes her haters mad. Jay gave Rih a chance just like he did Kayne
and they both work hard. They are not trying to be onbody but themselves and they must be doing something right because they keep right on doing their thing and gettin paid.
All I could add is that if You don’t know rIHANNA BY NOW THEN DO yo research and if shes not your artist then rest assured that you have got many to choose from because you say Rih is talentless but Rihanna is still number three on the best paid under thirty, and if she can’t sing then how did she make the money list and theres so many who’s names can’t be found or seen on the forbes list?
If Rih is getting paid for Entertaining, and being Beautiful “Eye Candy, s***” and hot why be bitter let us see yo asses do better then she is doing. And I know none of you on a message board talking shyt is paid no better then me and others because if you was good like Rihanna is then you want have time to talk shyt like we talk to each other back and forward over Rihanna being so dam great at what she does and from a black point of view rihanna isstill the “HBIC” and the charts, proves that fair and square.
And since Beyonce dance, sing better then Rihanna to many Rihanna still has what it take to make it and has proved that over and over again. Rihanna’s chart positions which was performing really good even when Beyonce had Music out at the same time is proof, that Rihanna is the New “HBIC” and yo asses will deal,,,and until Beyonce tops the charts with Hits she is still Just “Some one We Used To Know” Because Rihanna and all of the New Artist so to say has Flipped the strip and Beyonce is going to have to “Move That Ass'” even harder to try and “Get Her Groove Back” because Right now the Deal is in Rihanna’s hands right now,,,Bytches.
Since lots of ppl say Rihanna isn’t a vocalist, could it be because she has an accent?!? Hmm…
NO! B**** IS NOT A VOCALIST BECAUSE SHE CANNOT SING. UGH! ARE YOU STUPID OR WHAT?
LOL someone’s pissed off this morning, chill out please!
Rih says don’t try to,,
deny who you are, and try to be who you’re not. Remember: you are special and worth being cared about, loved, and accepted just as you are. Never, ever let anyone convince you otherwise.”
UGGHHHHHHHH!!! WHY!!!!!! B**** F***** UP ONE OF MY FAVORITE MARIAH SONGS! MY EARS ARE FOREVER DESTROYED! SWEET JESUS HELP ME!
She’s s***.
LMAO and after this she got signed. Makes you wonder…
And b****** please, she has improved, so what? My fave nickname for Rihanna is RITRY. She always try, never delivers. Her performances of Diamonds are probably the best of her career… and she still struggles to sing the end of that simple song. Like really!! She can´t sing
she can boo she can
F*** you @teenage s***. Rihanna aint successful in AFRICA! Stop lying with the lies. Beyonce first black artist to inspired ASIANS! Japan girls wanted to be her. She inspired AFRICANS.

@SASHA,,,

@SASHA,,,,,Screw Yo Self,,,RIHANNA don’t need Yo PERMISSION TO DO GREAT THINGS,,,BYTCH,,
The New York Times’ Jon Caramanica called Rihanna’s latest “one of her best albums yet”, adding that the singer’s presence made her “without peer when it comes to her image, which is steely, unforgiving and bulletproof”.
But B** Music’s Natalie Shaw found the album a difficult listen, calling it “the sound of a human dragged headfirst into a breakdown”, and criticising the singer for using “pop music to inadvertently condone abuse”.
The track that Shaw refers to and has everyone talking is Rihanna’s collaboration with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who was charged with assaulting her three years ago.
In a ’90 s pop-inspired track called Nobody’s Business, the singers further fuel speculation that they have rekindled their romance, singing lyrics such as “your love is perfection” and “you’ll always be mine”.
Critics have found more evidence of Rihanna drawing on her tumultuous relationship with Brown on Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary, which follows Nobody’s Business on the album.
In it, Rihanna sings “felt like love struck me in the night”, and makes references to “one drive, injured us fatally”, possibly alluding to the night Brown assaulted her.
Rolling Stone magazine’s Jon Dolan gave Unapologetic three and a half out of five stars, noting that Brown was “like a co-writer throughout”.
Rihanna made sure to capitalise on the success of her biggest hit to date, last year’s electro-dance production We Found Love. On Unapologetic, the singer brings David Guetta on Right Now, a thumping dance track. The singer also reteamed with rapper Eminem on Numb, following their 2010 hit song Love The Way You Lie.
Unlike the emotional content of domestic abuse on their previous collaboration, the Barbadian singer and rapper lightened the tone for Numb, singing about love in the club scene.
SCREW RIHANNA’S HATERS THE CRITICS R WORTH READING,,,BYTCHES,,,
The songstress also softened up for two intimate piano-led ballads, What Now and Stay, in which she recruited newcomer singer Mikkey Ekko for a stripped-down performance, using the opportunity to showcase her voice.
Singers should know to sing by default, so all this ‘she’s improved’ b******* can stop today.
Rihanna and Navy Says,,,,
“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love – for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment is it perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you from misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Numbers. Numbers. numbers is all the navy has, but what about talent? Where is that? Rihanna has only JUST learned to sing comfortably in her range but let’s see how long that will last for. She’s cute now but we’ll see how fun and bad she is when she’s on the other side of 25.
she can sing, there is no benying
@TEENAGE DREAM U may wanna check this out!!! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2254181/YouTube-wipes-billions-video-views-finding-faked-music-industry.html
RIHANNA AND TALENT,,,MAKING OF A LEGEND,,,
SUPERSTAR: Barbadian singer Rihanna has topped the charts for the 12th time with her single ‘Diamonds’, tying with legends like Madonna and The Supremes.
R&B STAR Rihanna scored her 12th chart-topping single on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, as her seventh studio album Unapologetic raced toward a big debut after its release this week.
Rihanna’s Diamonds, the lead single from Unapologetic, notched the top spot on the Hot 100, tying the Barbadian singer with Madonna and The Supremes for the fourth-most chart-topping singles in Billboard history.
Only Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and The Beatles have had more hit singles.
RIHANNA AND THE MAKING OF A LEGEND,,,
The 24-year-old singer has just wrapped up a seven-day mini-tour across seven world cities to promote Unapologetic , which was released on Monday.
It shot to the top of the iTunes album charts in 43 countries despite receiving mixed reviews.
Unapologetic scored 65 out of 100 on review aggregator site Metacritic.com, with some critics unsettled by the singer’s harder sound and close-to-home lyrics. Others have embraced it.
And now she is bigger then Mariah lol
Sorry?
truth
Come again?
Every time I hear this I think of Got 2B Real lmfao
SPEAKS IN TONGUES.
Rihanna will never be iconic because of her bad behavior. Nobody thinks she’s talented, Daniel craig even called her dirty.
Who cares. She makes good music.
Bottom line is this,
old news. This video have been around for years, but Sam post it today only because he’s been riding the Rita wave (as if) and she covered a much easier song. It’s not about the fact that Rih did a bad cover, it was horrible, it’s about that face that Sam wants hits so bad he’ll reach back into a performance where a singer was 15 years old, and mock it as if it were new.
Then again, anyone has courage behind a keyboard, especially the stan of someone who had three flop singles in the US and is now being forced to rewrite a new album.

O lord how Beyonce end up on this post? But anyway Rihanna did okay until the end it was like an oh no moment and for the person who said that Beyonce was the queen of music in Japan can have several seat my fave sold. A million the first week in Japan with a compilation album until Beyonce does that you can have 500 million seats and another 200 million for calling that 5th grader the queen of music really music in general? Beyonce voice is good but her music is so bland
Okay and… Whats the point of this vid??? She still sounds monotone, pitchy, and horrible overall… as usual. This vid didn’t display anything that I haven’t already heard or seen. And leave Beyonce out of this. She’s always the haters go to ( why idk since she’s so “irrelevant”) when Rihanna’s called out on her s***. The girl can’t do what she’s supposed to do as a singer…SING! People who dislike her actually have a legitimate reason to.
Lmao she still sounds the same to this day! Awful! Jay Z was hitting that.
she can sing!!!!
Samuel… Do not use beyonce gifs to insult other artists.. Its not fair
