Sometimes, over here at TGJ HQ, we find ourselves faced with a question that we’ve never been able to truly answer…‘are we too harsh on Rihanna?‘.
Indeed, while we’re sure she’s too busy working the streets of ‘Instagram’ to care what we have to think of her, it’s a question we struggle to answer every time we put finger to keyboard to post on the star.
Well…that was until today.
For, in confirming our stance that the ‘We Found Love‘ star’s cause is nothing more than a long running ‘ha ha’ when stripped of the fashion, videos and Premium production staff, she has been forced to cancel a date on her ‘Diamonds World Tour‘ just one night after its Buffalo launch.
Details below…
After serving up its first showing at ‘The First Niagara Center’, Rihanna has cancelled its Boston showing after she reportedly caught laryngitis.
A statement released by Irving Azoff’s ‘Live Nation’ reads:
“Unfortunately, following her sold-out concert on Friday, Rihanna has contracted laryngitis and per doctor’sinstruction is unable to perform this evening.”
Set to continue the tour in Baltimore on Tuesday night, the ‘Where Have You Been’ shared the following on the cancellation:
“#BOSTON this is the hardest thing for me to deal with! I feel like we’ve been waiting on this day forever, and I’m hurt that I let you down. I hate disappointing people that never ever let me down!! I’m so embarrassed about this! Thank you for your prayers and well wishes!”
With many of her fans anticipating the show for well over five months now, here’s to a speedy recovery for the ROC star.
Unfortunately, after spending the last few months hopping in and out of clubs alongside Chris Brown, Twitter stalking Ciara and not rehearsing, it’s easy to see that her inability to take the strain of live singing is rooted not in her larynx, but lack of respect for her craft.
For, with the likes of Lady GaGa, Nicki Minaj and Beyonce embarking on strenuous tours sans ‘voice’ related dramas, it’s pretty hard to sympathise with a singer who has never taken her voice that seriously anyway, perhaps oblivious to the dangers smoking poses to her already ailing pipes.
Seriously though, with the likes of Celine Dion and Tina Turner still able to deliver stellar live shows years after their initial peaks, one wonder what the future holds for Rihanna as a live act if she can’t hack any more than one night of live singing.
So, until we figure that answer to that question out, peep a number of real vocalists in action below!
a hot mess…give the spot to keri hilson now lmao!
finally a confession from sam. Its about time too
Tf is she apologizing for? She did Boston a favor.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#TRUTH #DEAD
For real. The citizens of Boston are probably on there knees thanking God right now LMFAO.
Really??? She must have laryngitis every damn performance because the non singing b**** is consistently weak smdh.
A mess but didn’t Gaga is in a wheelchair…Have you guys seen the pics of Breezy on the Daily Mail?, he looks on crap.
I’ve not seen the pics but anytime the WHITE OWNED MEDIA and silly self-hating negros in the press can make a YOUNG BLACK MAN look and feel bad, they will all day everyday. Are you surprised at the pics they upload to make him out to be the BIG BLACK AMERICAN EVIL?………This is how the DEVILS OF AMERIKKKA & beyond operate!
And the picture(s) above explains it all…#Rehab
“Beyonce embarking on strenuous tours sans ‘voice’ related dramas”
Beyonce doesn’t have “voice related dramas” because she doesn’t sing live, she lip syncs. The only thing is that her fans are illiterates and are too stupid to tell whether she’s singing live or not, that’s how she gets away with it. When you have a fan base as dumb and stupid as Beyonce’s you can pretty much get away with anything.
Get well soon Rihanna, love you and can’t wait to see you when you come to my city.
Beyonce doesn’t sing live? She sings along to pre recorded tracks when she has heavy dance routines something Rihanna will never know. She does sing live. Beyonce has been ill on stage aswell, I am Yours she had the flu, you could hear it in her voice. But shes strong enough to preserver you see. Rihanna also sings along to a pre recorded tracks, as them videos before proved. So don’t come with that b******* please.
heavy dance routines? LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
Yeeah u can read! Well done 😀
beyawnce has been acting all along. she has been caught lipping. don’t forget how you stans use to brag about how she sings live while dancing. funny stans would even say she doesn’t get out of breath because she is well trained… LOL!!!
Shut up Kate, your girl cant even cope with morning sickness.
\What does being illiterate have to do with knowing if someone is lip-synching or not? Do you even know what the word means? Does calling people illiterate make you feel better about yourself? Do you think it’s funny?
I have two degrees thank you and I am a huge beyonce fan
You can sit back and call us dumb all you want but at least the person we stan for wont:
1. get drunk and lazy and
2. then cancel a show while faking an illness.
The girl hasn’t even been in the game a decade yet here you are stanning, what you stanning for? DO you not know that this is still just hype? a
and all along i tot Leona fans were a bunch of civilized “buns”, u are like a complete opp
Let ci-error replace her
^^B**** please,
Beyonce always sings lives, although she may occasionally lip sync the chorus of her songs when doing choreography.
And comparing Rihanna to Beyonce is like comparing dog s*** to Dove chocolate. There are some similarities but one is 100000000xs better.
beyawnce lip syncs, if and when she sings live she screeches and screams. she also talks and barely sings. she has been acting all along, just like she did at the inauguration.
OMFG shut the f*** up!!! Your biased ass deserves to be hit… by a motherfucking car b****.
Since when is lip syncing the national anthem real singing ?
She’s sick its understandable
It’s a no brainer, if it was one of your favs (TGJ) it will be okay. You post about Rihanna almost 5 times a day. The choice of pictures you use sends a message, it always shows her negatively. I could pick pictures of your favourites that are not so appealing as well on the net. I still maintain it is cyber bullying and it’s sickening! You need someone to mock (why i don’t understand…ratings, comments, blog traffic???) and you’ve picked Rihanna.
beyonce stans need to STFU
She’s been exposed as a lip sync er get over it.
Aint nobody brining it up first but ur fellow navy, so yeah get over it!
Oh lawd Jesus its a fire!
Lol
so? she can’t help if she is ill.
Well il feelings sorry for The Navy who has paid to attend the concert in Boston, i would be so pissed if Beyonce had to do that on her tour. But I don’t get it how it has happened so soon.
RIHANNA is a troubled female you don’t have to bash the poor girl on a daily
I really don’t think this site means that much to her tbh.
Oh so now I see, Navy are gonna bring Beyonce lip syncing into it cos they damn well Rihannas a weak b****! Well, get into this, Rihanna also sings along to pre recorded tracks! SURPRISE! 😀
Some of us Navy are on the INSIDE of things. We told you all YESTERDAY that her voice was not up to par and that there was really something wrong. You all thought that we were just making excuses. WE WEREN’T! Anyways, i hope that she recovers swiftly! love you Rih!
Notice its always beyonce stance who are the first to post on a Rihanna post and they are the first to bring up Rihanna’s name in a Beyonce post. They live/breathe/stalk this website waiting for news on King Rih.
Sad….
so sad…
Yeah just like you guys are the first to post on Bey posts! I guess we are equal!
It’s because Beyonce ignores them and so they think by bashing Rihanna, Beyonce will give them some time or at least acknowledge them. Hahaha, not going to happen.
Any questions???
I hope she gets well soon, but Beyonce performed so hard while pregnant, she looked so ill backstage. And that picture you posted isnt helping me feel any more sorry for her. Ijs.
pregnant? LOL!!!!
Yeah!
LIES YOU MEAN SHE PERFORMED WITH A PILLOWPET IN HER SPANX!!! SHE WAS NEVER PREGNANT!!!
Grow up child^
lmao YAAAAS
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Poor dat.
AHHH TGJ your FAV Azealia Banks just tweeted this
@AZEALIABANKS: Rita Ora has been TRYING IT on this tour man…..
“@AZEALIABANKS: She’s mad she’s Rihanna’s understudy.”
LMAO talk about 50 shades of shade!!!
lol yaas
Oh what a mess she is.
Why didnt yall put Fantasia and Brandy on that? Ciara if yall reeeally wont a stan war. Yall missed and opportunity honey
Great perf, Aguilera! It was the only one I bothered to watch.
I’ll agree with u as far as Beyonce always sings live and I know bcuz I’ve been to her concert before but DAMN! Dog s*** to dove chocolate tho? Lmao f-ck you
Sam Azealia banks just came for your precious Rita Ora!!
Surprise surprise. I feel another celeb train wreck coming. You fans better stop encouraging your girl with this weed smoking, ass showing attitude. Its not helping.
Oh no, all that weed finally caught up with you. Teu bud!
It’s OK Sam ,youre just another bitter member of the HIVE more preoccupied with Rihanna than your FLOP fave, which is why 5 will be another failure era while Rih continues to win 🙂 😉
TGJ tell me why are you guys so happy to see Rihanna fail, what exactly is your problem. there is something so sick about the way you guys behave towards her. i bet she keeps you up at night doesn’t she
And you are one to talk about stalking someones twitter, i can only imagine how your google chrome tabs must look like
Tab1: Rihanna’s twitter
Tab2: rihanna’s Instagram
Tab3: Rihanna daily
Tab4: google search “bad this about Rihanna”
etc….you need help get off the girls d*** for once and start posting more about your failed fav Ciara, Rita etc and give them some much needed exposure. the more you talk about rihanna the bigger she gets.
Combo Kiii to the power of 3. Just cancel the entire tour Rihanna, nobody cares to hear your s***** voice anyweigh!
dear draggin, learn how to spell, anyway, go back to school, get an education before posting stupid s***
I never comment on anything here but this s*** crossed the line. Seriously, your obsession with saying evil things about rihanna went so far as to say that because she is sick she’s incompetent and ungrateful to her fans. If it were Beyonce or Rita Ora Sam would say it was a perfectly normal situation.
Ok, Im gonna be civil here and say, I hope shes Ok, I really do. If shes genuinely ill and its not drug induced than get well soon Rihanna. But don’t come for Beyonce just cos shes a work horse on the stage. Theres been plenty of time she has been ill and you can hear the strain in her voice but she still carries on. But whatever, each to their own. I hope its not anything serious.
Eff.Elle.Eaux.Pee.
poor rih get well
have you seen the pics of chris brown on media takeout he looks so cracked out smh so sad to see tbh
She’s very lazy isn’t she?
The laziest.
It’s because Beyonce ignores them and so they think by bashing Rihanna, Beyonce will give them some time or at least acknowledge them. Hahaha, not going to happen.
Any questions???
This!, sam holding my comment f****** F**!
She can party for hours but can’t tour for more than a night. Pathetic!
B**** your fav cant book a stage anymore so why are you commenting?
bytch
IDK why Rih is cancelling when she can just lip-sync like THIEFonce 😕 😛
Sometimes, over here at TGJ HQ, we find ourselves faced with a question that we’ve never been able to truly answer…‘are we too harsh on Rihanna?
you guys can’t answer it but we can, this site is only known for throwing shade at rihanna. so you will find plenty pressed stan hive and the 12 remaining members of the Atlanta chicken c-squad on here trolling. this translates into comments and page views. thus sam is able, because of rihanna, to pay his light, phone, rent and other bills.
see it wasn’t that hard to explain was it…….
Just Beiber just canceled a show due to low sales. But we all know that wont get posted.
Smh, just cancel the whole damn tour already. Its been like a bad omen from the get go. From, the ticket sales, to the terrible performances, now this. Girl it wasn’t meant to be.
Receipts of low ticket sales? No? o ok
Just look up her Twickenham Stadium show boo boo. Seats closest to the stage are still on sale. Enough said.
One stadium???? When does she go to Europe? FAIL FAIL FAIL
They still have time to sell.
dumbass
Nope, theres more. In North America too. Just look it up yourself. They’ve had plenty of time to sell lmao November last year they went on sale.
Wack b****. Shes such a bad b**** but she cant cope with a bit of flu. Kmt
i saw that one coming….
Rhianna can’t sing for s***. Period. She is indeed a spokes model with a recording contract. That’s why the music industry is in poor shape. Execs gave “pretty faces” record deals knowing they had no talent to warrant a contract. Pathetic, greedy business people with no REAL love of the art of music.
I DIGRESS… Mrs Carer 2013!
Rihannas a diva if she doesn’t feel good she’s not performing get over it you obsessive b******
Laryngitis? How tf did she get that she barely holds a note as it is. Just shows how weak her vocal chords are.
THESE PICTURES IS EVEN MAKING ME MORE MAD AT HER THOUGH.LOL KARMA IS A B****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Whitney Houston 2.0 gurl have a seat over your s***
Why doesn’t she just reschedule instead of canceling? That’s unfair..unless she’s not actually sick and this was used to cover up for poor sales. Who knows..
It was rescheduled boo.
I like me some Rihana but I need her to take a well deserved break….
This is why I cant respect people like her, any excuse. A little word called perseverance. I remember when I watched Beyonce on Jimmy Fallon, she was in the early stages of her pregnancy, she sounded croaky and ill and was sitting at a certain angle the whole time. I knew something was up. She didn’t once mention she was ill and she went on to perform at more shows. It didn’t stop her. Rihanna gets a little bout of flu or ‘laryngitis’ as they of course will say to satisfy her fans and she cant perform.
Yeah I remember that aswell. I thought it was just a cold or something.
THAT B**** WAS NOT PREGNANT AND NEVER WILL BE!!!! KIII
She was.
Cancel? Was that really necessary. Just reschedule, that’s how you know this b**** is lazy.
B**** they did reschedule.
Laryngitis eh?
(eye roll)
Sometimes Rihanna’s shade writes itself, honestly. It’s be one thing like Sam said if she was working her ass of 24/7 as hard as she can, but we’ve all seen her f****** around prior to this. Including that Ciara childish mess. So now the b**** got laryngitis one day into her tour.
Congrats Boston, hope you get a refund.
if it’s a flu she better take off some more days. 7 to be exact. nothing less. or shell be on meds for the rest of the tour, carrying that ill something around. she’s not doing herself a favor playing nice with the production force. and she better not smoke to much with a dead throat. she know this is one of the reasons.
Oh.
I really think Riri is on Crack. I DO NOT think that she is ill and I believe that throughout this tour her drug use is going to become more apparent. I hope that she can handel the pressure of the next few months.
She’s So Chicken And Fake!
She’s ALWAYS Sick When She’s On Tour.
She Thinks She’s A Rock Star, Party Like Rock Star, But CAN’T Performe Like A Rock Star, Girl Bye!
And You R******’s Navy Don’t Come For Me With Your Wihning Ass BS, Because If Would Be Beyonce Or Gaga, All Of You Would Laught Hard And Calling Them:”Fake & Liar” Hell You(Navy) Was Just Amazed When Lady G Has To Cancell Cause Of “Synovitis” So…
Why cancel tho???? Fake ass B**** mrs carter show go eat this lil s*** up
LMAO
That’s what she gets, for messing with cici.
Laryngitis my A$$, that’s from snorting all that COKE. Who she think she fooling? Not to say one can’t get sick on the 2nd stop of their tour, but in this case I think we all know wasup.
All joke aside you navy memebers need to call her out on her B.s. You guys are only making it worst by supporting this B.S…..
B**** ASS SAM STFU!!! SHE STILL OUTSELLING CIARA AND YOUR T***** FAVE!!! RIHANNA WILL ALWAYS BE THE CHAMP ON AND OFF THE STAGE WHEN IT COMES TO EYFAT AND CI-ERROR!!! NOW BEND OVER FOR YOUR DADDY F**!!!
Suck My Ass hole lips ….You A Stupid H** too I see
Rihanna never mentioned Ciara’s name. In fact nobody did. Ciara would be lucky if she scrubs Rihanna’s floors or becomes Rihann’s new assistant.
YAAAAAAAS!!
@ Xtina’s I love you porgy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
THE VOICE OF OUR GENERATION
#TRUTH #FACT #DEAL
@My Forehead Tho
I CANT AT UR SHADE!! Give me life everytime!!
I’m if I had laryngitis good or bad voice I’m not singing period are y’all crazzy! If you thinki smoking gives you laryngitis you need to have several seats if that was the case half of the world would have it and its one city so what she’s human she gets sick like the rest of us do! I think sam will post about every city this girl has been to! He’s more obsessed with her than the navy are..he’s really one of those bitter hive stans that give beyonce a bad name hell post positive things about beyonce but won’t post s*** about her animal shoes or that inuaguration scandal that everyone and they momma Was talking about. matter of fact he post negative s*** about everyone except beyonce smh examples: britney gets fired from xfactor ..mariah triumphants slips.. lady gaga cancels tour..rihanna sales drop with unapologetic eventhough rita ora can barely pull 50k in the states the only reason he likes her is because jay or beyonce signed her and every interview he does with someone he aks them about beyonce when they have no connection to her whatsoever he’s so bias probably the most bias gossip writer I came across smh
Theyre probably just saying that cos aint nobody gonna take ‘flu’ for an excuse.
SMDH and the delusional Navy has the audacity to talk about Ciara.

Rihanna has canceled tonight’s concert in Boston after losing her voice to laryngitis. The singer was scheduled to perform at TD Garden as the second stop on the Diamonds World Tour that she kicked off just two days ago in Buffalo, New York.
“Unfortunately, following her sold-out concert on Friday, Rihanna has contracted laryngitis and per doctor’s instruction is unable to perform this evening,” Live Nation said in a statement, according to Us Weekly.
Rihanna: Crazy in Love
Rihanna posted two notes regarding the cancelation on Twitter this afternoon. “#BOSTON this is the hardest thing for me to deal with! I feel like we’ve been waiting on this day forever, and I’m hurt that I let you down,” she said in the first note, and followed up on the sentiment shortly afterwards. “I hate disappointing people that never ever let me down!! I’m so embarrassed about this! Thank you for your prayers and well wishes!”
Rihanna’s next performance is set for Baltimore on March 12th, and is expected to go on. The Boston concert will be rescheduled for a later date.
GET WELL RIH!!!! I WILL SEE YOU MAY 5TH AT BARCLAYS!!! OAN I LOVE MY NEW YELLOW DRESS FROM YOUR COLLECTION RIH!!!! THOSE FAT HIVES STILL WEAR HOUSE OF DERWRONG!!!
Errrrr Rihanna doesn’t read this blog ya know! #DatDamnNavy!
you bey hatters talking trash about bey and we her fans I fell sorry for you all you all know bey is born singer talented and work hard on her craft and we her fans are smart enought to know that support her for life
where are the xtina fans when they should be on a post.
now that performance of I Love You Porgy is a vocal you should be proud of and drag for but then when you know nothing about vocals,you would not even now that is her best vocal performance to date.
I hope she gets well if she’s sick. I sorta feel bad 4 B because she lip-synced one time and was called out so now everyone calls her a lip syncer after all these years she’s worked 2 get 2 her level people just add her 2 the Madonna n Britney pool. She does sing live and dances on the chorus harder and in the verses takes it a little easy like end of time. People act like they haven’t heard resentment, listen or 1+1 in the dressing room. I mean c’mon
No its only pressed haters that are like that with Beyonce when they know damn well she can sing live.
No, its the NEW AGENDA to bring Beyonce down. You ppl had better recognize where the ACTUAL THREAT is coming from. That stunt she unfortunately pulled at the Inagrual affair gave these fools an in road to criticize her. I am still perplexed at the turn certain usually supportive outlets have taken against Beyonce!
k
Y’all tried it on this post
Rihanna is a joke. End of story. The few people acting like they didn´t know are not fooling anyone. We all know she´s a joke
Feel better Rihanna. I didn’t bother to read SAM’s insults but I’m sure she will reschedule her show for her fans. I hate he media, blog sites and the like
LEAVE RIHANNA & CHRIS BROWN …..hell, and even Justin Bieber THE F*CK ALONE at this point!
Rihanna’s w**** ass is so f*****’ fake.
The show was postponed, meaning the show will go on. Haters keep dreaming for Rihanna to fail
This can be specifically what I had been looking for, thanks
