Last night’s Global Citizen Festival delivered a moving performance by Pearl Jam and the Pop royal Beyonce who joined forces to sing the ‘Redemption Song’, originally recorded by the late Bob Marley.
With help from the creative force that is Chris Grant the ‘Single Ladies’ songbird graced the event with her own set as well as the performance that awaits your first look below.
Press play…
#RiRiInspired
Rihanna can’t sing babe….
But you stan for Ciara… :/
Death!
Rihanna did it better
Bitcccchhh whereeeee?
I find joy in the fact that Beyoncé can sing multiple genres of music. Her talent is so versatile, she’s not just an image or a look…. She’s a talent. Kudos puta
Just bcuz she sings multiple genres doesnt means her voice fits those styles. She’s a great singer but her tone isnt fit for songs like this.
Wow Rih slayed that …….years ago. #CatchUpBey
Ri has never SLAYED anything vocally,!especially live. Shes not a singers singer
The devil is a liar Beyonce sounds like the Budweiser frog. No vocal talent at all and even Ciara sings better 🙁
Sure..
I love the fact that she stay on key ????????
18K VIEWS???? THIS C**** IS OVER SHE SHOULD GO TAKE CARE OF BABY GORRILA AND EAT HER LICE FROM THAT FUNKY HAIRSTYLE…
BABOON NORTH>>>GORRILA IVY
Lool y’all really trying to use Rihanna’s version as a receipt when she was so offkey and s***. Why do y’all constantly want y’all fav to be dragged? I don’t get it
This was a great moment. Ooh am so loved the striped down ‘drunk in love’ with Ed Sheran.
Sometimes less is more. I love to see Bey just raw talent and chill.
She don’t need that Mariah/Diana wind machine 24/7. Lol.
Love that girl, she did great with her performances!
I loved Pearl Man’s set too! Eddie Vedder and co, still got it!
Yasss her vocal slayyyyyttt last night
Her vocals were on point, and so was her energy! She’s pretty dope as a performer.
Anyone who disagree has no sense or is a liar!
** Jam’s
KIIIIIIII ROCK IN RIO IS PAID DUST
NO ONE CARES ANYMORE EXCEPT THE NAVY AND THE LAST KERI STAN ON PLANET EARTH
Kii looking like an extra from a 1997 Bad Boy video. I hate her ugly non singing no talent having ass. She’s atrocious and an insult to true talent.
ROTFL
Kii this shitted on Rihanna’s pitchy, squealy version. Rihanna has absolutely zero talent. She can’t even model anymore because she looks washed up.
No one’s literally talking about Beyonce. LOL.The hive are FUMING on twitter @Rihanna performing at a bigger and more Global stage. Rihanna is more successful than Beyonce’s entire 18 year old career. Keep seething children, keep seething.
Where’s #R(IP)8 sis?
Did you know that Rihanna is making more money off her 3 singles than Cedric’s flop album, singles and tour?
No one is fuming bish Beyonce slayedttt Rihanna and it really shows how low the Navy standards are
Girl its twitter. There’s no hiding it so stop lying. Y’all are seething and foaming at the mouth. ????
Beyoncé>> Rihanna period. Navy no one agrees with you even if Rihanna had 300 #1s she still can’t reach Beyoncé; especially not on a damn stage. Is she even on Tinashe’s level? Hence why Rihs career is deteriorating. She has no stage presence or vocal wow power. The performances her fans brag about aren’t even 1/2 as good as Bey when she performs sick. Rihanna’s album will flop and the Navy will have 500 reasons why it did so. BEYONCÉ is still double platinum by the way; SOLD NOT SHIPPED.
Well @ least Rih and Bey, have undeniable global hits, and can book a stage both matter who you prefer..
Some people’s faves can’t book a stage no matter how ‘talented’ they are. LOL!
Which is why one of his only fans is fuming, this early in the morning..
And both are more relevant than MANet WHACKson in 2015. I see why you’re mad. Oh yeah, @ me next time f**. 😉
No there not.. BUT all three are more relevant than your chitlin circuit fave!
I’m glad you knew I was talking about you and hermaphroara.
The great irrelevant!!
You dumb bittch, I have no problem coming straight for your neck!
I wanted to see if you would take the bait and you did. Lol!
I thought you were not gonna speak to me again! Got Ya!
YES they are. ISIS Jackson has been dead since 2001 sis. My fav may not sell like Bey and Rihogre but she is RELEVANT and always has HITS. Please remind me where Deeep Sleeeep and FLOPITUP are on the charts? I just need a refresher.
Oh is that so?
Which on of them can’t book or headline a tour with @ least 15,000 people per show?
Which one of them has sold the fewest albums and records?
Which one of them was served court papers on stage, because of the right security, and being a broke nigro?
18,000ara! Janet would NEVER with those numbers, so who’s irrelevant? LMAO! 🙂
You’ll be eating those words when UNSELLABLE does Azaelia Banks numbers sis. Terrorisnet is DONE.
Keep dreaming bittch. That is your girl’s territory. Azalea and her are neck in neck, but azalea didn’t have all that promo, LA Reid, record company, all pulling from her pockets! LOL!
And azalea wasn’t shaking her magic stick on stages to no avail.
Bish Janet’s worst opening Will never be as pitiful as your man!
Check the stats bittch! We will see next week, and you can choke on your faves big diicckk! 😉
You know what f***** I call a truce. I like Janet so I’m gonna keep it cute….but the gloves come off again if your s***** booty ass comes for my queen . Love ya Jigsawnet!
Well it’s about time sllutt! LMAO! I like Ciara too. I just won’t tolerate disrespectful comments from one of her daughters fans.
Fine HO you and @Rosie keep it cute and I won’t say Ciara has nuts anyone.
Truce accepted if @Rosie agrees too.
Xoxo biatch
Gtfoh with your long ass essay
Shut the phuck up! Was that succinct enough for you!
Eddie Vedder should only collaborate with other artists who are as talented as he is. He is an elitist, hipster, insular p**** just like his fans. He shouldn’t p*** them off. This man is God to us Rock music fans, in my mind this never happened, fans has dragged Beyoncé all day, Kerrang!, Rolling Stone, NME…She wasn’t at his level, well, at least she had clothes on.
But he reached out to her. So from one musician to another he wanted to collaborate with her. So that means- oh wait you’re the expert, never mind
She’s not a musician.
Stop Lying rolling stones didn’t drag Beyonce and a lot of fans actually liked it. It you didn’t like it that’s cool but don’t make up lies
The fans dragged her in the comment section of those magazines, i didn’t say the magazines did, READ, READ.
No-one put a gun to Eddie’s head, he did it out of admiration to Beyoncé and the crowd clearly supported her when she came out. So again, if you’re such a die-hard rock fan then why do you visit an R&B blog … Other than to have those racist-addled rants and get dragged across the globe in the process.
Admiration, lol, typical of her fans, i wouldn’t be surprised if she was the one who asked them to perform together, you know just to have a some credibility.
Sorry Hun, just take the L. Pretending to like grunge when you stalk urban blogs daily, isn’t working much anymore. You’re perched on a blog that reports on everything opposite of what you claim to love. Sos
Oh that’s a good one, i’m now pretending to like grunge, lol, how long you been here?….I visit this blog because i love urban music aswell, not as much as rock but enough to follow its artists, i’m not a closet minded listener, you guys are the ones that can only listen to urban or pop music or at least that’s what it seems.
@suicidebumhole if that were truly the case then he could have declined. Again, if he was so worried about his rep or credibility then he wouldn’t have cared about the repercussions. Take your I-have-one-black-friend-so-I’m-not-racist ass up outta here bîtch.
@s******, you’re the expert, girl….
By all means man, stfu, you are constantly in every Beyonce post talking nothing but s***. You are definitely by far the most annoying critter on this site. Furthermore, you aren’t fooling anyone, go spread your underlying racial hate else where.
Wouldn’t be racist if i say Beyoncé is at the same level of his talent right?….Get over it, she’s not Bjork or PJ Harvey.
Don’t play that condescending s*** with me. In all honesty, this goes far beyond Beyonce, from your underlying racist jabs, to you trying to discredit successful African american artist. You’re nothing but a little internet punk/troll/coked up/uneducated/insecure/uncover racist twink. Go snort yourself to death.
What a lovely comment and i’m the uneducated one, if you can’t take a critic then go to a fan site if all you want to hear is praises and worship. I even treat her better than Katy, Gaga, Taylor and Miley, are they black?
@SuicideButtcheeks you would cling to björk wouldn’t you, when you know damn well that looney ass duck-looking bîtch used the n-word in her interviews. And yes you are a racist. You made some novel long essay about how inferior blacks were and how they were trying ‘invade’ Italy, as if you (a European) didn’t invade native-American territory when you lived there. You are filth!
Lol You’re trying to hard, your little manipulative rants are pathetic. Go do something constructive, your boring me.
*you’re.
Lord, you are such a TRY-HARD! You stay on an Urban/Pop blog while you hold disdain for some of the most successful artists that reside in the genre. Eddie Vedder obviously does not share the same racist, close-minded views that you do hence him collaborating with Beyonce, an R&B singer who also doubles as a Pop Star. Why, because homegirl has the talent to actually tackle genres outside of her comfort zone. Who cares what a couple of internet trolls like yourself thought about him collaborating with her? She’s still respected and talented. Just shut up.
HOMERUN!!!
_________
You knocked him out of the park!!
No shade to Rihanna because she has her place in pop culture but when it comes to real talk of music and musicianship, she is null and void. She is to Beyoncé what Britney Spears was to Christina Aguilera… Someone with a substantially lesser amount of (if you can even call it this) “talent” who just so happens to be popular….. When you go by reality, they can’t be compared because one is a talent, the other is just popular because…… But whatevs
Did y’all see after 5 mins of doing literally nothing Rihanna was tired and out of breath I screameddd. Lmaooo last night show how mediocre she is as a performer and how low the navy standards are.. She has good songs and that it. Chillieee Beyonce’s Rock In Rio was better and hyper thank this ☕☕☕☕
QUEEN! !!!

@NoCareerHavingHo
You have only managed to get more dumb as time has gone by.
You have always been and clearly, will continue to be trash, that no one takes seriously..
You know what @career ender your ass need a Dictionary. Who in the hell is gonna read through all that discombobulation, (Blank Stare) I feel if you’re gonna come for anyone make sure your spelling and grammar’s on point, the hell and you not even trying to be funny I see your dumb ass really can’t spell? Well I say this if it can’t spell then it can’t read. This just shows illiteracy in it’s worse possible form Child Jesus took the book from you and refuse to give it back look just stop.
Anyway, Rock in Rio was amazing. The Brazilian Navy really go hard, but so does the rest of the world for Rihanna. She’s just that international, global and commercial. She sounded amazing as well. The crowd was going crazy. They were screaming and crying as the camera panned towards them. The world really misses Rihanna. She’s just a pop culture phenomenon of our generation.
Honey. She wasn’t horrible she was just extremely under-average. If a chef at a restaurant cooked he say she delivers in her shows, he’d be fired. Please stop pretending like she is so great like that. She is what she is.!
Girl enough with your flop drags and metaphors. You call Cedric a good singer, but you wanna call Rihanna average. ???? Go sit down Eustace.
THAT ROCK IN RIO PERFORMANCE IS 99.2% TRASH IT WAS MORE UNWATCHABLE THAN UNLISTENABLE
Lol any artist has fans crying and fainting over them , including Young Thug #bye
RIHANNA IS CURRENTLY THE MOST VIEWED ON PORNHUB AND REDTUBE COMING SECOND K** TRANNYSHIAN
And MANet is the most viewed on Al-Jazeera don’t forget about her sis! Kii
Ciara is the worlds greatest flop.
Excuse me, who are you and what is it that you Stan for? Oh yeah that’s right, a monotone drunken botoxed b**** who was outsold by Drake and Future. I don’t see it for her sis.
And Ciara’s the most viewed in a post Called Welcome to the Chronicles of the Non-existent.
Janet stay on this goofy bishes mind! Mad Cimanra doesn’t even have 1/4 of the success of the Queen.
The QUEEN is still booking big stages, and no one wants to see your Victor/Victoria fave, Magic Mike on stage.
Po Dat!!
Janet has how many #1 movies? And Ciara has ‘Momma I cannot sing’?
I could go on about how my fave leaves 5’ocock shadow in the dust! 😉
@Anastasia hun they not ready for October 2nd since there trying to drag us that day. But we are so let this stan war begin and by October 5th the numbers should be in as well as album chart positioning so they better get ready.
@Shady81
#Jackie and I called a truce(for now) at least.
But whoever want it on release week can get it. Kii!
#I’mReady
@Anastasia do you really believe #Jackie? Cause I smell a set up don’t fall for it girl, there only doing it because you’ve dragged them to hell and back just be careful because a leopard can’t change their spots overnight.
@Shady81
Duly noted! Like I said we shall see..
Isnt this the song rihanna always sings? Rihanna sounds better singing it
her live songs aren’t anything compared to her album songs. she’s a musician. she’s involved in making her own music
.
she’s more of a musician than that dead cocaine thing called Kurt Cobain that you stan for
.
bye basic b*****
Rock in Rio was as bad as her GGGB live DVD, give it up already, no one but the navy was talking about that concert.
I’m still trying to figure out exactly how Rihanna is more successful than Beyonce. She’s sold 150 Million Records opposed to Beyonce’s 118 Million+60 Million as the leader of DC, that’s 178 Million overall.
She’s never had tour as big as MCT or an album do better than DIL.She’s certainly not richer than Beyonce,she’s not as respected either. Rihanna’s only saving grace is her looks,stans that don’t mind her not having any talent and her singles that’s it.If Beyonce sounds bad,than Ri sounds atrocious! Instead of trolling and creating multiple accounts to bash her, maybe the navy should be asking where’s R8. Better yet what did the original R8 sound like, because it more than likely got canned for not having a #1.
Beyonce the overrated vocalist even Rihanna had more life in her voice while singing this ????.
Her voice is so boring.
WHERE’S TILL IT HAPPENS TO YOU??? IT DIDN’T EVEN ENTER THE TOP 20 ON ITUNES….
BIATCH YOU HAVE NO PLACE OR SEAT HERE
MANET STANS ARE YOU READY FOR THE UPCOMING TRAGIC FRIDAY?
.
IT WILL BE THE SECOND MOST HORRIFIC FRIDAY RIGHT AFTER FRIDAY THE 13TH
.
MAMA JIGSAW VS JASON THIS WILL BE HORRIFIC AND HISTORIC
Kii omg I’m petrified!
YOU SHOULD BE
.
THAT HO3 HAS ALWAYS SCARED THE S*** OFF ME EVERSINCE I WAS YOUNG
.
I BET SHE CAN’T FEEL HER FACE WITH THAT AMOUNT OF UGLYNESS
.
OMG!!! HAVE YOU SEEN HER MOVES??? IT’S LIKE I’M WATCHING THE CONJURING 2.0
Stop it! ???? ???? ????
can beyonce spell bob marley?
KIIII B stay catching Rih’s dust. From fashion, 2 sound, and etc. She’ll neva b ahead of the game. Rih iz Queen Bitchives!
I believe Kanye when he said bey idolize Kim k bey is never original she follows and steal from other people now she obsess with rich and her style remember when she use to be conservative as soon as rih and Miley get attention for showing s*** pic bey start becoming a ho on stage
I like Rihanna’s version better, it’s more natural and heart felt. Bey is out of breathe for some reason.

Like Rihanna was 5 mins into her concert?
Has nothing to do with Beyonce sitting down and all winded. Rihanna was performing, Bey was just sitting. Hard to breathe with that new nose I guess.
Yet when Bey was performing she had 10× more energy and stamina than rihanna had 5 mins into her performance. I guess her nose canal never recovered from the big “hit”.
First of all, it’s out of *breath. Her breathing is just fine in this performance and even if there was any hint of breathlessness, she can be excused for just putting on a highly energetic show where she just sung and danced. You as a Rihanna fan have no business critiquing vocal technique when your fav has not seemed to grasp this even after 10 years in. Sit.
White people should not sing redemption song
I was pissed last night that she once again paid “S.O.S.” complete dusy after it is one of her most iconic and memorable #1 hits. I understand it’s difficult for her to perform live, but she should at least try to sing it sometimes.
Redemption Song is truly one of the best songs ever! Beyonce has no limits, she sounds amazing on anything!
Y’all are so dumb, stupid & childish. This is about positive energy, not whom sung it the best or whom “belongs” to sing it with. Get over yourselves. Great Job Bey & Pearl Jam.
how is beyaki hoing to sing that song when she is about everything that Bob Marley was aguanst? sure he was rolling in his grave.
how is beyaki going to sing that song when she is about everything that Bob Marley was aginst sure he was rolling in his grave.
