Watch: Rihanna Performs ‘Diamonds’ On ‘La Meilleure Chanson’

Published: Saturday 29th Dec 2012 by Sam

Rihanna may have announced ‘Stay’ as her latest single, yet the model is milking its predecessor ‘Diamonds’ for all its worth. And smartly too – given the fact it’s easily one of the year’s biggest hits and one of the few songs she can actually sing well.

Taking centre-stage on French show ‘La Meilleure Chanson’ tonight the 24 year old turned in another solid showing of the Sia penned smash.

Watch Ms. Fenty in action below…

Solid.

It seems that after years of sounding like she was chewing a wasp, Rih has finally grasped what tracks and tempo work best for her unique tone. If she continues to play in this lane, she could well begin to justify the amount of buzz prematurely drummed up in her name and favour.

Your thoughts?

        whats your excuse for 2011 when neither Beyonce nor Lady Gaga outsold her?????????

      • GAGA FAN December 29, 2012

        GAGA outsold Rihanna in every way in 2011. Born this way was more played on radio than We Found Love. BTW is the fastest selling digital single ever. It was not just an iconic song, BTW was a movement. Over 1 million copies in the 1st week and you Rihanna stans brag about 200,000? The album sold 7 million copies globally. Talk That Talk is not even at 4 million. GAGA has sold 24 million albums with just 2 while Rihanna has sold 23 million with 7 albums. I’m not really into Beyonce but 4 sold about as much as Talk That Talk without major hits or major promo that Rihanna did.

      • Lax December 30, 2012

        GaGa can Out Sell Rihanna and so can Taylor
        RIHANNA is still “Standing As Tall As Ever”, Its
        not all about who out sells RIHANNA its all about
        how RIHANN is still a stronger player in the Game!
        Especially When Rih’s Haters say Rih, Can’t, Want
        Be on Beyonce’s Level When in Fact, Rihanna has
        ACCOMPLISHED some Features Beyonce never
        will Because RIHANNA did it at a younger age then
        Beyonce did.

      With Rihanna it,,,
      Used to be, whenever the words “Rihanna” and “mature” were used in the same sentence, the latter was followed by “audiences only,” and folks were attempting to decode what she meant by “Birthday Cake.” Yes, for the past few years, Rih Rih has seemingly delighted in pushing both boundaries and buttons, tweaking parental units with a string of hits that were as gleefully raunchy as they were, well, unsubtle.

      • Lax December 30, 2012

        And while Rih’s still the same girl in her personal life at least if her Instagram account is to be believed it appears that, musically, Rihanna may be in the midst of some grand metamorphosis: based on brand-new single “Diamonds,” one can gather that perhaps, at long last, she’s growing up.

      • Lax December 30, 2012

        About Diamonds,,,
        To be fair, the single’s artwork does feature her rolling diamonds into a joint, but on the song itself, she displays a marked level of (dare I say it?) maturity, one evident in the restrained production and perhaps best exemplified by the first mantra she lays on us: “I choose to be happy.”

      She sure does. I loved the way she performed this song. She seems more comfortable singing ballads. Not only is she comfortable with them, but she seems to put more “passion” into singing them as well. I’m loving the short hair on her! I love how she switches up her look from time to time. It keeps things interesting.

  14. BeyWhoUWanna December 29, 2012

    Let’s see how long this level will last for her. I was happy with this performance but we all know she’s one s***** performance away from going back to her old tricks. Plus, notice how Diamonds and stay are the only songs she knows how to sing properly. Her range is extremely limited and it shows.

        Rita Ora dresses just like Rihanna (copied almsot every rih outift), copies Rihanna’s tweets, performs on stage with umbrella’s and steals Rihanna’s choreography and even eprforms with Patting her crotch and bob marley inspired shirts. They listen to him in Koskovo? Didn’t think so.

      • ƸӜƷ MC ƸӜƷ December 29, 2012

        There were more than a couple of similarities between the two (Beyonce and Rihanna) back then, but its all in the past. Roc Nation is trying to duplicate Rihanna’s success with Rita I think. Bob Marley is a world wide know artist, plus she grew up in London.

        “Rita is mediocre vocally and generic musically, why wouldn’t she be dragged.”

        Why does the Navy always drag Rita for her vocals? I mean, we both know……….anyways there are worst artists out there that don’t get as much hate as Rita. I don’t care anyways, I just saw a lot of similarities between the two is all.

      Talk That Talk was released worldwide in late November to an opening of over 500,000 copies sold easily clearing her career biggest launch. Following, just two weeks later, Talk That Talk continued to break Rihanna records by becoming her fastest album to shift over a 1,000,000 units. Having sold a career total of over 26,000,000 albums bodes well with her retaining her lead as the most successful album’s artist since her debut over half a decade ago.

    • Lax December 30, 2012

      With such a welcoming reception from the public, naturally came a new high of recognition this year from nearly every prestigious outlet in the music industry. The year began with a Grammy win for the lead single off Loud, “Only Girl (In The World)”, in “Best Dance Recording”. Rihanna performed twice that night, her five-time Grammy nominated collaboration, “Love The Way You Lie”, and her upcoming 2012 nomination, “What’s My Name”.

      • Lax December 30, 2012

        The performances were met with rave reviews including Time Magazine calling for the “2011 Grammys be renamed: The Rihanna Show”. (The Grammy committee clearly took notice for the upcoming 2012 ceremony, as the recently revealed nominations include a nod in the highly coveted “Album of The Year” category for Loud.) Following the Grammys, she jetted across the Atlantic to attend the Brit Awards the following day, in which she won “International Female Artist of The Year”. Rihanna took to twitter to express her excitement to her fans: “Came with a Grammy, left with a Brit!!!” In May, we saw Rihanna kicking off the return of the Billboard Music Awards with a performance of her #1 single, “S&M”, with fellow pop star Britney Spears. She was awarded that night with “Female Artist of The Year”, based on statical success on their charts. She followed out the year with a series of wins including People’s Choice (Pop Artist, Song, & Music Video), American Music Awards (R&B Album), BET Awards (Female R&B Artist), and a Soul Train Award.

    looks like ‘Diamonds’ was really MADE Wisely ONLY for Her, the tone and everything suits her the most , i can’t see any singer out of all the mainstream Divas sing it and sound like her in ‘Diamonds’.

    she has her own way of making pop music and it is actually a good thing to have your own Unique sound.

    Looks like beyonce is gonna copy rihanna formula as she did for iasf. Her new singles are meant to pop and fucky house and they have stargate and sia doing a track a ballad, just like diamonds.

      So who is copying who?

      You f****** tried, tho. That was nice.

      BTW, how dare you say “Beyonce copied Rihanna on for IASF” after the IASF era ate the GGGB era and shitted it all over the rest of Rihanna’s era’s????

      How many millions did GGGB sell, how many Grammys did it win, and how much did the GGGB tour pull?

      And does Rihanna OWN StarGate and Sia as her producers??

      NO, they can work with whoever the f*** they want, and you and Rihanna can only watch.

      And if you haven’t seen it yet, SIA HERSELF tweeted that SHE wanted to work with BEYONCE, her idol. It wasn’t even BEYONCE’s idea in the first place.

      • wrinkle flop ora December 29, 2012

        LOL LOL IAMSF DID NOT S*** ON GGGB OR LOUD, EVEN UNA’. Some of the biggest and longest number 1 came from GGGB and loud. None of IAMSF had number 1 that lasted more than 3 months in any country.

        GGGB: Umbrella, disturbia, take a bow, te amo, shut and drive, please dont stop were all much more global killer smashes than ANY OF THE IASF SONGS.

        LOUD: ONLY GIRL IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST SELLING SONGS IN EUROPEAN CHART HISTORY.

        MAN down is the biggest selling rihanna song. SNM had a video that was banned and was number in over 20 countries and what’s my name sold over a million in the UK.

        Una’ diamonds topped global charts without a video. It is the biggest selling song in france and germany and is platinum in every country. Diamonds video has 100 mill views in less than 2 months. NO WAY COULD IAMFS ERA F*** WITH ANY RIHANNA ERA FROM 2008.

        Sorry, it is a wrap: beyonce is over, she scares no one. Beyonce biggest selling single is that lady gaga telephone.

        Plus GGGB, rated r, loud, TTT and una’ were more trendsetting, stylish and more talked about that IASF.

        GGGB – THAT HAIRCUT

        RATED R – DARK and edgy, fashon and CB

        LOUD – THE iconic red hair and dance music

        TTT – the brown hair and WFL video

        Una – the short hair and the new sound.

        Beyonce looks the same in every era and does the same type of music. And yes, she did copy the blueprint of GGGB FROM RIHANNA. Rih did dance music and pop ballads first.

        I am glad beyonce is no longer the only black female music star. For a long time, it seemed no black girl could get near her, but now that will never be the case ever ever gain. Thanks to rihanna.

      • wrinkle flop ora December 29, 2012

Who gives a f*** about grammy’s! They waited that long to give Madonna a grammy? That proves that they aint worth s*** and people buy them. Rihanna can only watch ? YUP!

        Remember in the IASF era when Beyonce had to beg Lady Gaga to release Telephone (a song Gaga hates) just to notch a #1 and Rihanna blocked them both, for 3 weeks.

        I expect nothing less, I expect Stay will block whatever hood rat anthem Beyonce has cooked up.

        Beyonce is a washed up 40 something fat diva, shaking her thunder thighs is not going to help her in this new music industry. This is not the 90s, people are over the shaking your c****** and thunder thighs bit, they want edge, they want the X-Factor, they want someone hip, a trend setter and Beyonce is non of that, she is a FRAUDULENT gimmick who thinks she’s still in her golden days when she was 23 in Destiny’s Child, she is now 40 something and the music industry has changed.

        Already Dailymail, The sun and now Necole Bitchie readers are going in on Beyonce, she is already losing her fans on That Hood Juice to Lady Gaga and 2013 is fully booked, Beyonce is not going to slay anything, this is her final stop.

        BTW, who gives a f*** she didn’t have a #1 single in 2011?????

        Her album sold +2.8 million, and her DVD went multi-platinum. That’s what satisfies her and her label, not weekly charts and one-dollar digital tracks.

But yes, I do remember the song outselling “Rude Boy” everywhere by millions of digital copies in the long run, just like the other NON-number-one, “Bad Romance”.

That is her talent, she is trendsetter. Beyonce is not a trendsetter. Always copying Rih’s formula. Now she is trying to do pop ballad like Diamonds and dance track, just like rih.

      It will not work, she dopes not have the chutzpah, s** appeal, swag and charisma to pull of rih sound. Also her screaming shouting rnb diva voice does not flow the way rih cool bajun accent does.

      Beyonce seems to be a in a lot of trouble, she does not know what to drop as single and she cannot pay folks to stop buying diamonds all over the world. This is why she needs teh advice of 40 radio stations to give her honest feedback. I am sure there will be many DJ’s who will tell her to jutst retire gracefully. You are not f****** with rihanna. nOW, BEYONCE is just reduced to playing catch up and dodging rihanna like a bullet all while piggyback on others. She has no power to juts drop a single.

      I have also heard a dance track from beyonce, called radio………SOUND A COMEDIC HOT MESS.

WOW! tHERE was a time when beyince was running the game, now, she is being run out the game. I hope these 40 dj’s give her hinest feedback and tell it like it is.

    If you haven’t figured it out yet, 2013 is already shaping up to kick 2012’s ass in music! The announcement of a new Pepsi endorsed era from Beyoncé has me more excited than anything that happened over the past year. I don’t think it will stop there, though! Here are some of my predictions for what will happen in 2013. Categorized by artist.

    Beyoncé – The Queen Bey obviously has a lot planned for her new era and I expect her to have a “comeback” of epic proportions… for like a month of two. Remember how Born This Way was completely over-hyped and front-loaded in it’s success? I expect the same from Beyoncé. Sure, she’ll coast along with a few Top 20 singles, but I only expect the first single to go #1 and the album to spend no more than 3 weeks on top of the Billboard Top 200 Album’s chart.

    This is what someone wrote. I think she flop, the 1st single will not do s***. Now we all know why she got behind rita whora.

    • wrinkle flop ora December 29, 2012

      Rihanna – I think it may actually happen. I think Rihanna may finally take a year off from making music after promotion for Unapologetic ends. Let’s face it, there aren’t any more smash hits left on the album after “Diamonds.”

      Lol, who am I kidding. For the sake of accuracy, I’ll predict album #8 just in time for Christmas accompanied with a #2 debut. Cover of Italian and British Vogue. Rumors will swirl of a love triangle between Chris, Rihanna and Kucaracha. Rihanna will continue to claim they are only friends and not romantically involved. She’s just letting the controversy boil over.

      • wrinkle flop ora December 30, 2012

        Forget that. This person prediction about beyboon is very accurate. She have some bump from Super Bowl , then when everyone stops talking about the SB, then it is over.

    She looks like a superstar, and she sounded great.

  61. JOHNVIDAL December 30, 2012

    Diamonds is the only song she can sing properly lol Congrats I guess…
    Btw it is really the best song on the album. The rest is the biggest crap released this year. Stay is good too, and the other better one is probably Nobodys Business… and that´s it. The rest is horrible. The 4th best song on the album would be What Now but it´s a little bit simple and also unbearable to hear her trying to pull what by her standards are “impressive vocals”. They are trying to keep Diamonds success going cos they know the rest is bad, just like what happened with TTT album

    Stands in the same spot, does the same ole moves, sounds the same as the backtracking that she has too use for a song (like the rest) that dont need a pinch of talent but she uses anyway. Rihanna has no growth, just sings songs that dont require any work and she still needs help. I’m waiting on somone too show her how to sing this song live and I mean really live. Sia song it live with a live version without backtracking. Rihanna is cute nothing more!!!

    @RIHANNA’S MANY HATERS There’s no way to stop you from hating on Rihanna and we are not even trying we will Journey on and we will keep right on going with the flow because it’s very hard for any “Fish To Swin Up stream” to make it in this life We all have got to keep right on “Going With The Flow” and that is what Rihanna is doing and will keep right on doing and it matters not a dam if Beyonce is in the mix or sitting on her rich red ass Rihanna & Others know the show must go on!!

    @RIHANNA HATERS,,,,
    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
    RIHANNA NAVY!!!

    To all of you saying Beyonce’s “comeback” is going to be stalled by Rihanna. . .I just want to pull up a seat. .so that you all can have it. Rihanna has one song where she actually sounds like she can sing. . .notice i said SOUND like. . .she’s bout as talented as Donkey from Shrek. Rihanna is more known for her personal life than any album or single. This whole 3 way fiasco with Chris and karatechop is all publicity for her somewhat mediocre album. Rihanna has the best team behind her, they know what fans want to hear and thats why she always has hits, just like katy perrys , less than talented a**. Rihanna changes up the style of her albums because she goes with the flow and trends of that time period, just like most artist who cant really sing do. I.E. Katy Perry. I hate the Rihanna navy because they usually are 14 year old wanna be’s that look up to rihanna and think it’s “cute” that her and chris are back together. Grow up and go listen to some real music.

    -Sincerely,

    THE BEHIVE
    Bzzzzz 😀

    LOL! Why is the comment section about BEYONCE more than Rihanna? And @Teenage Dream/Female MJ do you realise how all those sites (Daily Mail, The Sun etc) go IN on Rihanna on a daily basis?
