Rihanna ‘To Take A Year Break’ / TGJ Suggest Three Things She Should Do In Her Time Off

Published: Sunday 10th Mar 2013 by Sam

After churning out seven albums in seven years, it finally looks like Rihanna is set to slow things down.

Critiqued and praised in equal measure, the model’s omnipresence may be a thing of the past come next year say MTV.

Full story below…

The industry juggernaut reports that Ryan Seacrest made the announcement of the star’s impending hiatus on his radio show earlier this week.

“She’s been in this go mode for a while. Seven hit records in seven years,” he told listeners,  before strongly alluding that she’ll be taking a break once her ‘Diamonds World Tour’ has run its course. Indeed, the American Idol host would go on to add: “(She’s had) sold-out tours, but sources say after this tour wraps, she plans to take up to a year off to unwind.”

***************

Long-time readers of That Grape Juice will know Rihanna occupies a special place in our hearts. As such, we’re elated that she has finally heeded our request that she take a “time out”.

Ever keen to see her be the best “Rih” she can be, we have drawn up three things she should use her time away from the spotlight to do. Without further adieu…

1) Find A Qualified Vocal Coach

It goes without saying that Rihanna possesses a unique tone. Yet her inability to tap into its best qualities (not to mention incessant smoking) often leaves her sounding like a live exorcism.

As a muscle itself, one’s vocal chords require the right and precise training to ensure solid output. With dedicated help from a professional, we envisage the star turning her vocal water into a fine wine.

2) Practice

Factually speaking, the 25-year-old is the most consistently inconsistent performer in Pop. Indeed, few others can match her uncanny ability to serve up her best performance one minute only to deliver her worst the very next.

A potent potion of politics and promotion have shot Rihanna’s star into the stratosphere. However, in their blind haste, her manufacturers have failed to ensure she is equipped with the ability to actually perform her “job” well. As such, her performances largely remain lazy, laxed, and lethargic.

Hence, a stretch away from the limelight could and should afford her a window of time to hone her craft.

3) Live Life…For Real

Anyone who follows Ms. Fenty on social media will know that it’s common-practice for her to share her every breathing moment. From love life to club nights, there seems to be an array of pictures attached to support her carefully carved-out gimmick.

And while this is sadly the norm for other artists too, such snaps seem to serve as the main gas mobilizing her fast-paced brand – even more than her fast-food music. The end result? A blur of sorts between the fantasy of Rihanna the character, Rihanna the artist, and Rihanna the person. It’s a blur so cloudy that we doubt the star herself is able to discern which is which.

This is a problem a brief spell away from the spotlight could remedy. Yes, her latest album should have been called ‘Unapologetic(ally Unfinished Demos)’, yet it doesn’t dilute the fact that it boasts a number of mature moments. Moments that point to interesting directions she could take both lyrically and musically with future projects. To artistically discern what those are, she should take a breather to actually live and experience life…for real.

Of course, this is assuming she actually even has a hand in anything she puts out. And if, as we suspect, she doesn’t, she should simply have an arena of seats to a) re-charge b) let people miss her. Say what we do about Ms. Fenty, it’s incredibly hard to knock her work ethic. Stage-parading and p***y-popping aside, she stays working. However, if any of this has been truly as impactful as it’s claimed, she should be able to enjoy the fruits of her labor and in the process create an insatiable demand that will see her smash even harder upon returning.

***************

Now, it’s entirely plausible that ol’ Ri is trolling everyone and is in actuality about to wrap recording for album #8 in time for release later this year. Nonetheless, you can’t say we don’t offer constructive advice.

Do you agree? Should Rihanna take a break? Or should she keep it moving?

Your thoughts?

    GURLLLLL you are trying it today b****.

    Lemme suggest 3 things you should do.

    1. Get a f****** man and stop worrying about Rihanna
    2. Scrape the black off your s**** ass
    3. Close down this website and go get a REAL job.

    • COCKINESS March 10, 2013

      LMAO B****!!! go offf!!!!

      TGJ should watch it, i mean how in gods name this site gonna survive without Rihanna????

    • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) March 10, 2013

      But yet YOU visit AND comment on the regular….why should they quit if you keep coming back filling their pockets?

      • CAKE LIKE LADY GAGA March 11, 2013

        lol b****!!!!

    • PRINCE MACHIAVEL March 10, 2013

      You Need To Tell That To Goat’s Dark Shadow, Ouups I Mean Her “Weak Basic Assistant”, Oooups No… Her Puppy… Ouups Her B****… Ouups, Sorry Melissa!

    • Common Sense March 10, 2013

      B**** you could say the same thing about Rihanna. Should she get a REAL job since she can’t sing for s***?

  3. jli March 10, 2013

    rih taking a year break aka roc nation gonna start giving rita ora all the smash hits rihanna been getting…

    • mob March 11, 2013

      Rita will never equal Rihanna no matte what “smash hits” she get from Roc nation…

  4. Dane March 10, 2013

    Good, she needs it.. She need time to enjoy her success and get her personal life in order……

  5. Truth March 10, 2013

    I totally agree with her taking a break. She needs to give her fans and haters enough time to want to actually her presence from the limelight. Until then bring on the Celebration!

  6. ANDY March 10, 2013

    Okay… I see!!!

    Well, go Rihanna. I’m not mad Gwooooooorl!!!

    12 #1 U.S singles and 80+ Million record sales later, you f****** deserve it B****.

    You practically owned 2010 – 2012, so the break is warranted.

    But, quick question: If Beyonce FLOPS this era, what female will SLAY US?

    • S****** Blonde March 10, 2013

      BIEBER…she will stay here at least 5 years more, sadly.

      • Jay Scorpio March 10, 2013

        DEAD @ BIEBER being the female to slay us when Beyawnce flops hard!!!!!!!

      • Common Sense March 10, 2013

        Bieber’s already irrelevant. As his tweens start growing up fewer of them will stick around with his wannabe midget whiteboy thug routine.

  7. THE LEGENDARY LAX March 10, 2013

    Finally….she need to take a year break!!!!

  8. S****** Blonde March 10, 2013

    She should alonside Gaga, (i know she’s on a break but i hope it takes forever to comeback, lol), Beyonce, Kesha, Britney, Bieber and all those girls, is time for a men revolution in Music, i’m tired of these b******, i want men.

    • STONY March 10, 2013

      totally agree with you s****** blond. you’re right

    • Rellz March 10, 2013

      DEATH at the Bieber shade

    • CAKE LIKE LADY GAGA March 11, 2013

      b**** _/ _/ _/

    • mob March 11, 2013

      Wow, I have ageed with damn near every one of the statements I’ve read from you today! Unfotunately the FEMINAZI’S IN AMERIKKA have taken root and they will never allow men to take the top position again! Just look at TV/Cable pogams and Movies. There is always a STRONG POWERFUL WHITE FEMALE ruling & lording over the men (WHITE & BLACK).

      ** I don’t see a MALE REVOLUTION comeing anytime soon if every again!!

  9. Stans Make Me LOL March 10, 2013

    I dont think that she needs to take a year off, but I think she needs to slow it down and get to know herself again and take TIME to make some good music. She should ease up on the endorsements and spend a year making a solid and personal album, it maybe a form of therapy for her.
    However I think that Rihanna is going to use this time to chase Chris Browns around the globe, Kae Style!

    • mob March 11, 2013

      Rihanna and Chris Brown both need a goddamn break! They are constantly being mistreated and ridiculed in the media. They are 23 & 25 after all. They are very young and ppl need to leave them the f*ck alone. I would love to see CB MOVE OUT OF AMERIKKKA. I would love to see him move to a fun place like France, Africa, Italy, Switzerland etc.

  10. Me March 10, 2013

    Its about f****** time.

  11. ERIN March 10, 2013

    THANK GOD! BUT ONLY A YEAR? SHE NEEDS TO TAKE A 5 YEAR BREAK AND GET SOME SINGING LESSONS

    • Chrissy March 10, 2013

      More like life lessons a.k.a ” how to stop being stupid and not get your ass beat by Chris Brown lessons”.

    • DEALING! March 10, 2013

      YASSSSSS to THIS!

    • Riqueen March 10, 2013

      Oh shut up and kill yaself.

  12. Rellz March 10, 2013

    I hope she means it this time. I don’t want see her suddenly as the face of this brand or popping up that event to look pretty. She needs to GO AWAY completely!

  13. Eye Candy March 10, 2013

    The minute she takes a break, it will be hard for her to make a comeback.
    Say R.I.P to the career you used to have, your days are over.

    • Monstarebel March 10, 2013

      Honey if kesha can take a two year break & still make a successful comeback then rihanna will be just fine

      • Eye Candy March 10, 2013

        Successful comeback? Ke$ha’s CD didn’t sell well though.
        When I think of success, I don’t just think of having a hit single, I think of the whole era.

  14. Hmmm March 10, 2013

    LOOOOOOOOOOL @ this post though. TGJ is really trying it today. But the truth is, its only what everyones thinking.

  15. Sass March 10, 2013

    Oh please. She may take a break from music but that doesn’t mean we aint still gonna see her everywhere. This girl thrives off the limelight and attention in every aspect of the world. Her personal life and antics are out there on a plate more than showmanship is. That says it all. Prepare for endless pictures of Rihanna coming out of clubs, drama with Chris Brown and vain holiday photos of her by herself. She will refuse to be forgotten.

    • Rihanna killed beyho’s career March 11, 2013

      I still don’t understand why you haters check for her in the first place??

  16. BlowMe March 10, 2013

    To keep her name on the blogs & in the mags… I’m sure she’ll get pregnant or some ish like that!!

  17. Fergie March 10, 2013

    Lol I remember how Sybil would say that Beyoncé would retire after her tour. Anyway hope she has a nice long vacation.

  18. ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) March 10, 2013

    FINALLY!!! THE LORD DOES ANSWER PRAYERS!! Go away and get the help you need Rih.

    #1) Rehab – not only for drugs but also for her need for an abusive boyfriend and constant sexual attention from the masses.

    #2) Get New Friends – Melissa aka Bubbles is a rat. She’s there to keep you were you are and that’s in drama, negativity and delusions.

    #3) Figure Out Your Calling – Find out if music is what you’re REALLY suppose to do and if so PRACTICE the hell out of those vocals!

    Wish her all the best..

  19. Lovebird March 10, 2013

    Oh ya, because she’s going to listen to that hood juice. The fact remains this news is worrying Samantha more than anyone else.

    We all know Rihanna can afford to take a year off, Samantha cannot and once Rihanna is on a break this site will go BROKE. The site survives only because of Rihanna, no Rihanna, no TGJ and Samantha is shaking in his boots.

    Who else are they going to talk about, Beyonce doesn’t bring in any traffic, Rihanna is the only reason this site exists.

    This is very good though, not only will Rihanna get a much needed break to herself, but as a bonus, it’ll be the death of this trashy site, there is a God after all.

  20. Monstarebel March 10, 2013

    Im glad she’s taking a break she deserves it shes been working her ass off for 7 years straight…. i wanna feel what its like to miss rihanna from the music scene for awhile… i love this girl & only want what’s best for her…

    i hope these songs become singles before she closes this era

    Love without tragedy
    Numb
    Right now
    Jump
    & What now

  21. Cream March 10, 2013

    I hope Chris Brown beat her ass every day on that break give her flash backs of how her dady use to Beat her dumb ass c*** mama

    • Monstarebel March 10, 2013

      your pathetic as f***

    • Lovebird March 10, 2013

      I hope you finally get your GED in the year she’s off. No need to remind us of how uneducated you are with these low life comments.

      Wait a minute, you’re from the hive so an educated comment would be asking too much. I should have questioned myself I guess.

    • Loyalty March 10, 2013

      Oh s***, Im a Hive but boo that wasn’t necessary.

    • Rita is Queen March 10, 2013

      smh Yall wonder why the hive isn’t respected yall take things to far

      • Kendall March 10, 2013

        None of it is acceptable, just like the Navy dissing a small child.

    • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) March 10, 2013

      That was beyond evil. You’re sick..

      • Lovebird March 10, 2013

  22. Lovebird March 10, 2013

    Rihanna has left us with enough music to tide us over anyway, here’s hoping she relaxes and has a good time to herself. No need for hateful f*** all over her nuts, I’ sure she’ll still be in contact with her fans.

    And when she comes back, due to her boring the year without her will be, she’ll come slay the charts based on anticipation alone. Go Riri, love you. Hope you get better.

  23. DIGGER BEY March 10, 2013

    STICK A FORK N THE H**! SHE’S DONE! Shw will not b able to come bac after a year off. That’s why she’s still here n the first place. Everybody else has taken a year or two off and this b**** has never. Well. It was nice dragggggggggging u Rihcunsts.

  27. Lovebird March 10, 2013

    Three things Samantha should do since his site will die without Rihanna.

    1. Get a real education, not some innaposite art degree, I mean a real degree.

    2. Get a real man, we all know Davidina is going to dump your ass once the checks stop coming in

    3. Get a real job. We don’t want you to end up a benefits cheat like all the dead wood council estate trash in the UK.

    Ok b****. Any Questions???

    • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) March 10, 2013

      Glad to see your writing down your goals….

      • Lovebird March 10, 2013

        Weak shade. Try again.

      • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) March 10, 2013

        It wasn’t shade tho.

      • Jas March 10, 2013

        “dead”

    • Kendall March 10, 2013

      Lmao @Enough Onika

  28. aynon March 10, 2013

    if this is true, I think she’ll end up taking a couple of years off, she’ll be pregnant before we know it, I don’t think she’ll ever get married even if she gets pregnant. we’ll get some cute pictures on instagram of her and her new babe and chris them doing the whole young family thing.

    then she’ll record and release another album for maybe 2015 or 16 and it’ll probably be her best and most meaningful album yet like Beyonce’s 4 depending on the music scene at the time of release it’ll perform as well or better or worse than 4. but that entirely depends on what the GP are here for whenever this does happen.

    I hope this does happen, she deserves to be happy. everyone does. Everyone, even Rihanna deserves to have a life like Beyonce.

  29. Loyalty March 10, 2013

    Amazing.

  30. My Forehead Tho March 10, 2013

    Well damn, that’s the end of her career. That one year will be enough time for the navi to switch faves and move on to the next b****.

    R.I.P Rihanna’s Career

    2005-2013

    • Lovebird March 10, 2013

      With 12 #1s, Over 30 Top 40 hits, Most streamed artist on the internet, most viewed artist on YouTube/Vevo, over 100 million records sold, has sold more albums than Beyonce TWICE (GGGB > B’Day, TTT > 4closure), most beautiful woman on the planet. River Island collection breaking records…etc. I highly doubt her career is coming to an end anytime soon.

      • Kendall March 10, 2013

        That don’t matter, once you gone you gone. Its about how you handle a comeback. The biggest stars can fade.

  31. RICHANDBLACK11 March 10, 2013

    awww poor her

  32. DIGGER BEY March 10, 2013

    Lmao @ Rita stacking hits. Rita is a flop here n the US. No one knows who she is n America and it will stay that way.

  35. Lovebird March 10, 2013

    So I guess Rita Whora is going to have to deliver huh. Camel Z will no longer use Rihanna’s name to get Rita Whora covers and Roc Nation will no longer survive on the 10% Rihanna gives them. Oh poor girl, she’ll be dropped soon enough.

    • RICHANDBLACK11 March 10, 2013

      That will be rihanna getting drop trying to make that comeback……yess Karma is a bish

  37. DIGGER BEY March 10, 2013

  38. RoyalKev March 10, 2013

    I honestly think Rihanna is due for a little break. She’s always releasing singles and constantly touring. I think the time off would allow her to get inspired (creatively speaking). The time off would be good for Rihanna’s health and peace of mind. She looks so worn sometimes and I think she deserves a chance to do nothing but, be in love, be lazy and normal. I don’t know if she’s forced to earn money for her label anually, but it will be refreshing to see Rihanna after missing her for a change!

  39. ƸӜƷ MC ƸӜƷ March 10, 2013

    Good for her, it’s unhealthy to work non-stop.

  40. RICHANDBLACK11 March 10, 2013

    If you really think about it , something is real fishy about this…..makes your wonder.

  41. DIGGER BEY March 10, 2013

    Is that a gun tattoe? And the Rihcu*ts always say THE HIVE is hood lmao. Delusional much. *******tears****tears*** can’t stop crying. I’m gonna miss R**** and her pathetic stans. Cause we all know she will struggle to make a comebac. #RIP R**** 2005 – 2013

  42. Rita is Queen March 10, 2013

    The hive is so ignorant i see why there the most hated stan base i guess there bitter because Rihanna & Rita are slaying charts while beyonce sitting on her fatass looking for ideas she can steal

    • Te$$a:) March 10, 2013

      Hun, stop making a spectacle of yourself. I know you are not trying to drag Beyonce when the Navy drags Rita the most. At least Beyonce actually likes Rita and vice versa, unlike Rihanna. Oh, and you should really stop with the whole “Rita & Rihanna are slaying” b*******. Because “Rita” and “slaying” are an oxymoron. As of today, they don’t even belong in the same sentence. No shade, just the truth. Your fave doesn’t have enough notches under her belt for you to be shading, a veteran in the game like Beyonce. I don’t even stan for Rihanna but the fact of the matter is, the b**** is slaying the charts . Even if she does take a break Rita won’t get any shine. So there’s no need for you to try and jump on the “Beyonce Hating Band Wagon” because those who you are band wagoning with relentlessly drag and don’t even like your fave. I’d respect you even more if you just mentioned Rita. But the fact that you stated “Rihanna & Rita” as if they were on the same level, really bothers me. The Navy will never accept her. Go on and shade Beyonce if you feel the need to defend your fave but don’t bring Rihanna into it. If Rita is who you stan for then cool, do just that. However, there’s no need for you to rally with those who hate her. So don’t try to make it seem like Rihanna and Rita are equal or like they are some type of tag team/duo when her stans don’t even like your fave.

    B**** Rihanna can take a 40 year break and Rita Ora will not make it /: Rihanna will get that ass beat like her ball head mama only if grandma dolly was here to help Rihanna suck d*** she might be in epic (:

    • Rellz March 10, 2013

      How do you know how long people have been reading though? Just because you two have been commenting for years doesn’t mean others havnt been reading for years ijs.

  60. HOTSTUFF March 10, 2013

    LMAO why write a BIBLE SAM, are you frustrated that for a whole year nobody will be checking your trash blog ?!

  61. HOTSTUFF March 10, 2013

    ive never seen that baboon, where can i see sam’s (ugly) face ????

  62. Morgan(Beyond Donmanation) Beyonce!!! March 10, 2013

    First: She needs to get a vocal coach. Two: The Navy needs to find a new music blog to get their information on Rih cause tgj/Sam isn’t the blog for you. She isn’t going to stop shading Rih. Three: Your girl aint all that in a bwg of chips. So what she may have alot of number ones, that doesn’t mean anything without the talent to back it up, my girl may not have alot of number ones but she sure has the talent and thats more important then having a bunch of meaningless number ones.

  63. Morgan(Beyond Donmanation) Beyonce!!! March 10, 2013

    (Continued) Four: She’ll never be one of the greats, I.e Patti, Tina, Chaka, Aretha, Teena, Barbra, Cher, Gladys, Donna, Ella, Whitney, Mariah, Celion, Anita, Mary and etc. Netheir will she match her generation: Beyonce, Christina before, Alicia before, Brandy, Monica, Lady GaGa, Fantasia, JHud, etc. Shes on the level vocaly of Janet, she can dance, yes. Sing, No. Madonna, Keshia, Ciara, can dance her but of, singing no., Katy Perry, and etc.

  64. Mark111 March 10, 2013

    I think she’s fulfilled Def Jams contract. But I think she do need a break, well just take it slow, her album has more hits on them to fillout the year. I feel that she cut her past 2 albums too short. I think she should release albums every year and a half or two years. But sharks don’t get too happy, no one is gonna take her spot or get 12 #1s within her break. Maybe Rita and Ciara can have a chance… maybe.

  65. NΛVI March 10, 2013

    lol maybe beyonce will get a chance to get hit again. i hope riri don’t take a whole year break.. 6 months tops in BARBADOS…then #back to business.

  66. Morgan(Beyond Donmanation) Beyonce!!! March 10, 2013

    You better speak Digger Bey. Like, wtf is Rita Ora is that some type of animal?? Just know she’ll never ever have the star power that Bey pocess. Try again my dear. Oh before I firget, Navy whats so wonderful about Rih, what talent does she have?? She cant Sang or dance. Man they Navy needs to drain their ears, you mean to tell me she really can sing?! Damn do we watch the same performances?? Cause if not let me know, on the real.

  67. Taylor Is A H** March 10, 2013

    only basic stans would find anything wrong with the article and that is if they took the time and read.
    he gave her her fair dues and some good points but when you are basic stan unless he or any blog is not praising your fav you have a problem with it.

  68. DIGGER BEY March 10, 2013

    STFU @Navi. B**** u just mad R**** will not top the singles charts like she use too after her rehab stint. Cause she wasn’t topping any album charts. The Sub Par H** career is ending like it should. And R**** will b here when KING B drops her single and it will go #1. That h** isn’t stopping s***. #DANCE….ITS SOON OVER

  69. Taylor Is A H** March 10, 2013

    @ Rita Is Queen
    Hun, stop making a spectacle of yourself. I know you are not trying to drag Beyonce when the Navy drags Rita the most. At least Beyonce actually likes Rita and vice versa, unlike Rihanna. Oh, and you should really stop with the whole “Rita & Rihanna are slaying” b*******. Because “Rita” and “slaying” are an oxymoron. As of today, they don’t even belong in the same sentence. No shade, just the truth. Your fave doesn’t have enough notches under her belt for you to be shading, a veteran in the game like Beyonce. I don’t even stan for Rihanna but the fact of the matter is, the b**** is slaying the charts . Even if she does take a break Rita won’t get any shine. So there’s no need for you to try and jump on the “Beyonce Hating Band Wagon” because those who you are band wagoning with relentlessly drag and don’t even like your fave. I’d respect you even more if you just mentioned Rita. But the fact that you stated “Rihanna & Rita” as if they were on the same level, really bothers me. The Navy will never accept her. Go on and shade Beyonce if you feel the need to defend your fave but don’t bring Rihanna into it. If Rita is who you stan for then cool, do just that. However, there’s no need for you to rally with those who hate her. So don’t try to make it seem like Rihanna and Rita are equal or like they are some type of tag team/duo when her stans don’t even like your fave

  71. . : : h 2 o : : . March 11, 2013

    k, whatever

  72. Hilly March 11, 2013

    Even if this post is full a shade (as usual) I agree with Sam. She needs a break, she has been doing this for so long, and at least people will actually miss her, even the haters.

  73. JOHNVIDAL March 11, 2013

    Can´t she just retire please? lol
    She doesn´t deserve to be where she is (average numbers anyway but you know, still successful). She just doesn´t enough said
    A couple of decades ago, this year off would mean the label would leave you on a side cos of your mediocrity. But in the sad times we are living in for music… I´m sure her label will support her again with her next album. Sad

  74. PEACE OF WEAVE March 11, 2013

    R**** DOESNT GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOU SAY BECAUSE SHE IS GETTING MONEY

    YOU SHOULD LEARN HOW TO WRITE IN AN UNBIASED WAY BECAUSE IT WASNT A COUPLE DAYS AGO YOU WAS SLATING RIHANNA AND SAYING SHE BASICALLY HAS NO TALENT

    7 HIT RECORDS. WHEN WILL RITA ORA?

  75. Let’s Be Real March 11, 2013

    This doesn’t look to good
    Rihannas career has been based on constantly being in our face.its very possible for someone to take advantage of her absence and slay dearly

  76. mob March 11, 2013

    “Stage-parading and p***y-popping aside”

    WAIT are we talking about Rihanna or Beyonce? This is the ecent charge leveled at her after the Superbowl halftime show!

    Anyway, why is this a surprise. Whenever Beyonce is on they POWERS THAT BE turn Rihanna off and visa versa!Haven’t you guys figured out the SCHEME BY NOW? 0_O

  77. mob March 11, 2013

    Also DON’T BE FOOLED!

    Rihanna will take a few months off and come back as a JAMES BOND GIRL or something along those lines! The media has been trying to crush her and Chris Brown because they are YOUNG, BLACK & care deeply for one another! It’s sad to watch what the WHITE OWN & RUN AMERIKKKAN media (along with the bought and paid for blacks within it), can do without a stong black communiy to thwart the common racist scheme!

  78. Theman March 11, 2013

    This site is very hypocritical. Y’all wrote up a whole damn novel for her. What else can y’all do to get traffic here? Y’all have made it a habit to slander her. Sam really likes Rihanna. You just hate on everything that she does. She has improved as a vocalist, her latest two singles are great. Just shut up. It’s the same post over and over..

  79. mkigz March 11, 2013

    Well I think the break is well-deserved.
    I don’t agree with all that Sam said but her performances are inconsistent. Also I don’t think she will completely be out of the spotlight. She has a movie coming out next year ,’Happy Smek-day’. Also she seems to be doing a lot more work fashion-wise so I doubt that she will disappear completely. But I am looking forward to album #8 in after a year.

  80. DarkKing March 11, 2013

    I think a break is great!
    I just got some free iTunes from freeitunesforever com

  81. lola March 11, 2013

    SHE’S TAKING A BREAK BECAUSE SHE’S EITHER PREGNANT OR ABOUT TO GET PREGNANT! I really do hope that Rihanna gets pregnant in the near future because her career will finally be over for good and no one will care about this untalented w****! It sucks that the child has to have what will be a bad mother, but at least she will finally STFU! Def Jam disgusts me. Rihanna only became famous and successful because of them and her publicists…. Nothing else! If every talented singer had a label spending millions on them, they all would be just as successful as Riwhorna! Her stupid, childish stans try to convince everyone that she works hard… NO! Riwhorna does what Def Jam requires her to do! All she does is live her life in the public eye. How hard is it to travel, get drunk, party, give lousy performances, and post Twitter pics of you smoking weed and sleeping with your abuser? Kesha would have been the next Rihanna had her label continued to spend millions on her, but like many a few hit wonders, her luck ran out! Now, she’s a flop.

    • Jessi March 11, 2013

      *Dead* Lol exactly what I was thinking.

    • JOHNVIDAL March 12, 2013

      Yaaaaaaaassssss exactly

  82. Rihanna killed beyho’s career March 11, 2013

    You haters are dumb. Rihanna taking a break is actually a good thing. That means more slaying!! New style,hair,era, better music is coming!!! Rihanna is immortal like “Rolling Stone” Claimed. She is the next Madonna. Rihanna can take a break, come back and still slay your favs. The pop princess is going nowhere.Watch her prove the haters wrong for the 50th time again
