*********************
We can’t knock Ms. Fenty. She slyly attempted to take a “break” this era, yet the so-so sales of ‘Talk That Talk’ likely served as the biggest of reality checks for both her and her team. Indeed, her McMusic alone isn’t enough to mobilize her cause – hence touring, however awful she is live – is much more a “must” than it may seem on the surface.
Anyway…the title of the tour is “interesting”. By our Rihanna handbook, she’s pretty much “due” for a new album…now. And with this week ushering in the debut of a new hair do and now a tour, we’d put good money on it coming sooner rather than later.
Seven projects in seven years? Overkill?
RIHANNA NAVI WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HER…. THAT REIGN JUST WON’T LET UP!!!!
as expected she is gonna steal some ideas from gaga’s tour…s giant snake head on stage????? Gaga’s giant castle on stage!!!!
She is not an innovator at all!!!
cause crapga is such an innovator… this delusional monsters
Many artists use egyptain mysticism as inspiration for their perfornances.
And If its similar to Gaga she probably copied Madonna.
you need to sit your ass down MJ WHITNEY JANET ALREADY DID THAT S***. KEEP REACHING. GAGA COPY GRACE JONES AND MADONNA WHOLE EXISTENCE, BYE.
LOL right because Gaga’s whole existence isn’t jacked from every other b****… her tour stage is a rip off of Kylie Minogue’s “Aphrodite Les Follies” tour set except she replaced the greek temple with a castle lol
I hope it’s better than her VMA’s performance. And I’m not even shading her, it’s the truth! She has loads of great songs to perform, but she needs her actual skills to be on the same level as the music. Hope she brings it 🙂
After seven years and we all hoping it’s gonna be better. Well get used to it. This is rihanna.
Yassssss! Rihanna is back.
And Sam will be sitting 1st row. We know
I’m out …. Rihanna is STILL Roc’s first lady. After that HIGH BUDGET VMA performance, one cannot deny her power in the music industry.
I’m out *throws tea in ur face*
erm her “power in the music industry”? LOL she’s a f***** puppet who has no control over her own fate.
stupid f***** stan
notice what the person said “high budget performance” the stage NOT HER TALENT OR ABILITIES **DEAD**
GOODLUCK
Yaaaaaas CANT wait ill be there!!!
Kimberly go suck Sam D*** that’s if he. Has one
Follow my fan page of my favorite artist and send in you’er love please & thank you;)
http://twitter.com/RitaOraNation
Sam ur sick boo
I knew it was you. I have been reading your tweets and I knew, you are one of those sick rih haters on the grape juice. I knew Ritbots are really the grape juice Rih haters.
You are sick mentally ill s***. I read that you thought Rih would not win any WMA; that she ignore rita Ora and karma will find her? What the hell do u / rita ora / TGJ have against Rih?
You, ritaoraunited, ultimateritaora , ritaoarpromo etc are all sick and twisted. I have even watched you on twitter, harass and stalk American Rdaio dj’s. Practically blackmailing them to play her wack songs. I have watched u on twitter try to start a war with Rihanna – accusing her on doing things to that z list h**! WTF
You people are f******. sick. The good, sales do not lie and Rita Ora is on the train to getting dropped, and once she is…..you will all fade away like dirt.
And why come on a Rih post to ad your page? F*** utta here! You, and Rita Ora are losers goin nowhere in life.
You and Rita will meet each other: You will be working together at River island selling Rih’s new line.
WOW… talk about shade!! No, Rihanna albums don’t sell like many would assume they should but you can’t knock her hussle – and radio LOVES her!!! I’m in!!! The Navi will be out in full force!!
One more thing – 7 projects in 7 years…umm…didn’t Mariah Carey put out annual albums for a while there?? And in all honesty, it really wasn’t until Good Girl Gone Bad that she got her stride.
thats a lie. Mariah released albums in
1990
1991
1993
1995
1997
1999
2002
2005
2008
2009
every 2 years, and only anually twice!
where as rihanna has released albums in
2005
2006
2007
2008
2009
2010
2011.
someone can’t count….she only has 6 albums to date, you counted seven….she didn’t release an album in 08….but I’ll let you live in your hate filled world !!!
She released an album every year except ONE cuz she’s touring so it’s basically every year and she’s having one next year so duh.
Difference being Mariah released great material, some of it timeless while working non stop and being a part of her projects, songwriting and all. And yeah not as many as one per year.
Rihanna needs it to not lose the radio friendly thing an artist looses once they dissapear for a while. Cos if it wasn´t for the heavy radio airplay and the generic crap songs producers make for her, she would be nothing. She can´t stop
I Can’t at these idiots comparing Mariah’s music to Rihanna’s. She won’t hold a candle
THIS H** IS A FLOP PERIOD!!!!
WHY SHE STOP TOURING TO SUPPORT THAT FLOP ALBUM???? WHERE IS HER PLATINUM CERTIFICATION AFTER A YR & SOME CHANGE?????
Her album is 10k away from being platinum in the US and it’s sold 3,2 million copies worldwide. She’s obviously not flopping. People use the word “flop” WAY too much…
10 K after so long with hit songs on there? I though she was platinum already. WOW. It’s been 10 months !
where the arenas at? LOL THAT IS A JOKE. Rihanna needs the money b******. She is not on tour this year which means she will not be making pass 20 milli this year. SAD. This is her only big income cause her record sales and performance finances are taken away from her. Don’t be mad. TTT was a fail. She didn’t get any awards and no hioghlights. Well do rihanna era ever have highlights? plus she doesn’t do any work, her directors and producers are now bursting their asses out to make some money for their families.
The puzzling thing is after seeing her perform on these award shows, she isn’t worthy of going to see live. She needs to take her ass out and learn how to dance, work on her voice and learn something apart from social media. soemthing that will bring money in her pocket.
Album #7 lets go.
get a life you ugly tart. She has won a lot of awards.
Rihanna Best International Female – NRJ Music Awards
Rihanna Best International Female Artist – BRIT Awards
2 Grammys and so many…
You are so annoying with your hatred for Rihanna. She can have less talent than your favourite but she is still winning. TTT was certified platinum by its shipments, and it will pass 1 million this week, and it’s still selling. Your opinion is s*** and h** you will deal.
What a dumb b**** you are Kimberhoe! I guess you aren’t smart enough to look at the Itinerary and see all the Arenas Rihanna will be performing. I guess you’re used to your fav performing in middle school gymnasiums, or at truck stop parking lots… It makes sense..
TTT was a flop compared to LOUD and GGGB. I mean it would have taken her sooner to be platinum in the U.S. No one was feeling this era except people who are rly into urban pop. Her core fanbase. It’s been a terrible year for her. Nothing but facts. Yall must be from the UK cuz her music is irrelevant to everyone else here in the US. And has been since 2010.
“Where the arena’s at”
Honest question. Can you read?
HERE COMES THE QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
B**** you like this song 😛
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh9CYbE-fEY
I’m not a big fan but the girl did her thing last night. That was the best I’ve seen her.
2012 R**** income is way under chris Brown she may b on 13million she aint done s*** this flop after flop Nivea drop armanie don’t give her much jobs hmmmm R**** can’t stand that and decided to get navy s $100 they have at home stupid navy will buy it just to compete other artist since the tour is in march R**** will release an album in December
You the h** stinking dry p**** b**** go wash your ass calling someone a h**
A tour already? Wasn’t there supposed to be a DVD from her last tour?
The navy are waiting for it but it takes tooooooooooo long to fix her vocals or record new ones
I am copping every magazine she covers: I am copping tickets to the LA swhow and I am coping the LP and singles. That money is being made, trust.
Lady gaga said on twitter, that she loved beyonce and well done for video of the year.
Briteny did a song and performance with Rih
Katy is down with Rih
Beyonce is the only ” top” singer who tries to ignore rih. Beyonce you are looking jealous and old. Stop hating. How comes the white girls are not scared of rih?
delusional posts like this is why people dont take the navy seriously.
beyonce has never done anything negative towards rihanna.
she supported her at hackney recently
She supported Jay Z. Not Rih.
Kelly you are one miserable b****. Exactly why I call this fanbase ghetto because people such as you try so hard to act like bey has all the ghetto fans. You go trolling everyday pressed about Bey. Lets not get it twisted that Bey is a triple threat in the industry and been for awhile. Bey doesnt have to worry about any other female in the business. you are so jealous of Bey you try to downplay her success. How funny because Rihanna loves Beyonce and Bey loves Rihanna. So h** go find some seats to sit in and listen to DIVA
You are hating ass b****. Trick I have an interview where Rih says tin 2007 in allure that her and beyonce are NOT friends friends. They are not close. I am sure beyonce is the reason why they are not close. Rih is a tripe threat too, h**. She is an actress, model and singer. F*** outta here.
You are jealous that my fellow tall green eyes slin girl lew your old fat b**** out the water in 4 years. The moment GGGB dropped, oldyonce has been weakening. Sit down h**, Rih is the number 1 black girl in the game.
Oldyonce needs to lose weight and have botox – she is huge!
kelly you are a damn idiot:
if you want t stan for Rhi by all means go ahead. You can spend all your money on her..that’s fine boo. It doesn’t change the fact the she has low self esteem, no confidence, no pride, no talent and no self respect. I really don’t care how many awards she takes home, how many magazine covers or how many millions…I do not wish to be her. As a STRONG WOMAN, women like her are worse than cockroaches. They are the reason a lot of men feel they have the right to belittle women. STAND UP FOR SOMETHING!!!! It was disgusting to watch her behavior with CB (and I do like him alot). The man has a woman…at what point do you start behaving like you actually LOVE yourself?
Shut the f*** up.. You do not even know, c***. How do u know, Beyonce does not feel low.? Do u know these people? You do not roll with them
F****** dumb h** You do not know who is personally happy between beyone or rih.
@Kelly you sound angry. I got under that skin. Dont mistake me for you and your cousins you floppy b****. You try to get points across with 50msg a day on one post but nobody hears you. Lmfao
Your the one who is angry and mad, with high blood pressure. You came out cursing in rage, was lol.
No cares about beyonce, hence why she has not had a hit in years.
PS: On a lighter note, Rihanna looked very tall and slim and toned on the red carpet. Best dress of the night. It was about Rih, last night.
* wink wink*
How is that for getting under your skin? * smiles*
Its obvious you are just a baby c*** so let me drag you like one. Beyonce name lives in your mouth so it is noticed that your pressed. Maybe you want to be a fan but jealousy holds you back. If you stan for rih show it without always bringing up Beyonce. If Beyonce was there last night she would have took over and you know it. Have a good day b**** and take your meds
I am jealous of beyonce because I wanted to be a fan, but I can’t? That does not even make sense, c***. Nothing is stoping buyin her music. I used to be a fan, but now I do not buy her music – same with many others, hence why 4 flopped and there was not a single no1 from that LP.
If beyonce was there, she would remind the world how much fatter, older and unfashionable she is. She is older than Rih; she is fatter and she knows about fashion. So she would of taken over nothing. What song would she have perfORMED? Who run the world? That flopped – nobody cared.
You need to join, your girl Beyonce in a zumba class and shift al that fat from your upper arms.
Everyone ignores Rih incase you didn’t notice. The top stars are Beyonce, Gaga, Adele, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber. SORRY to say. Singles artists like LMAO and Rihanna don’t get praised….
kelly just sounds so immature. Rhi will grow up at some point too and be fat, old and unfashionable…if she matures and stops the antics. Still no one will respect her. Not even CB which is why he stays parading with KT while R cries over him. No man wants a woman like like. Needy, trashy, low self esteem.
Yep you named those biggest artist correct @prett…..
And this b**** kelky is obsessed and yes @barbie she is immature this is why I address her as a kid lmfao
Barbie,
Rihanna will not get or unfashionable when she is older. Rih is genetically tall and slim. Beyonce is genectically fat – even in DC back in 96, she was a big girl, in texas they call it thick in showbiz it is fat.
Style does not age…look at Iman 56, Halle 46 etc all older,stylish and slim. Rih will age like them.
Out of Rihanna, zoe saldana. halle, thandie newton, naomie harris the back bond girl naomi campbell, tyra, ciara, kerry washington LOL LOL Beyonce is the fattest black celebrity.
Nicki Minaj has sold 600k, Rihanna has outsold Beyonce worldwide with ALBUMS but Rih is the singles artist, OK!
OK Kelly,
you are too dumb to talk to so this is my last response to you. Tyra Banks did get fat BTW. Adele is quite big but that doesn’t stop her being a force to be reckoned with. You don’t seem to be capable of understanding. No one is denying that Rhi dresses well when styled, has catchy songs that song writers and producers work hard to give her, has an excellent management team..we all get that. What you need to understand is that yo girl is nothing but a mirage. She has no self respect, no pride, no self esteem, no talent, no self love. You can stan for her and that is fine but just accept that you are stanning for a mirage. No one is jealous of her. We all see her for what she is and it is nothing to be jealous of. We find it hilarious that her stans don’t even know her, you all stan for something you don’t know. I don’t know your age but I am assuming you are old enough to have a boy friend. Would you act that stupid over an ex? Even if you still felt some love, would you parade it like that knowing he is with another woman, banging another woman, sleepin gin the arms of another woman. Only a worthless woman behaves like that..sorry to break it to you and men DO NOT respect women like that…that is exactly why CB will beat her ass but not touch KT. Men know the type of woman they can do crap with, you better believe that!!
Man, people are bitter and jealous of Rihanna. Her success scares everyone. TGJ said Rihanna dissed / ignored rita ora backstage, and this other blog said Nicki minaj wanted to beat Rih up or something. Nicki, Rita etc…..none of u will be around next year.
Stop hatin on rih.
Shut the f*** up & stop trying to create a stan war. Rihanna told us on Twitter that Nicki did NOT say anything mean to her and they even took pictures together.
*Instagram
Ok,
so what about rita ora beef backkstage? Speak on it h**!
GO RIRI!!!!! You Killed last night … i mean just google kelsnetwork
Hopefully this is her last tour. She seems exhausted and I think her voice will be dead and gone by the time she’s 25! As sad as that is.
sometime before 30 years old I mean…
She still have movies, fashion etc.
Are you a doctor to know her voice will go by 25 b**** go suck a D*** and shut up when beyonce came out all you black b****** hated her now rihanna is here you keep hating on your own black girls Jewish people stick together white too when are you people going to support your own race you wonder why these black celebrity go broke because none of you buy their stuff
What voice? You mean her speaking voice? Because she can’t sing for s***.
MC lost her voice just like Whitney did!!! So…..
People say that rihanna reign just won’t let up YET her sales decreased from her last and ONLY her generic dance singles were hits and Its been almost a year and her album is yet to go Plat uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhm looks like me it is Its clearly not the same
Beyonce’s sales did too. LOL
Where did @ Sleazy mention Beyonce. Go suck a n**, h**.
XDee.
Let me put it this way. If Rihanna actually had a stronger voice/talented, wasn’t lazy about rehearsing and practicing, was more intelligent, controlled her own distribution artistry/creativity in the music industry plus could sell albums and singles I think she’d be PERFECT. But unfortunately it’s the opposite. The navy wonder why she gets the most hate out of every other artist. Be real with yallselves. If she’s hated on something is MISSING from the puzzle, mmmmkay?? K….*3 snaps z formation*
And yet she became a superstar. Boy!
Kesha is famous, Justin Bieber is a superstar, One Direction is famous, etc….need I go on? I mean she is famous/superstar, but the navy keep using that for the lack of talent. I mean oranges are circular shape, but does that make them apples? sit your delusional 500000 comment posting ass down somewhere.
It is a bit stupid to call Talk That Talk a flop. It’s sold over 3 million in a year. I don’t think any other albums, apart from Adele, have sold more than 3 million since TTT was released. Possibly One Direction? I don’t know. You people on this site think everrrything is a flop and really don’t seem to get the whole concept of album sales generally being in decline.
That is what I am saying…the whole music industry has been in decline since 1999. Downloading is to blame. Even Eminem last LP has not sold as much as His huge sellers, but, all they wanna do is blame it on rih.
At least she is on the chart, where the f*** are their faves on the chart? When did beyonce last have a number smash?
TTT in the UK as of dec 2011 it has gone double platinum in just a few months since it was released. 600k sold. Rita ora won’t have that – she only opened with 41k.
Rih is just 10k of platinum in the USA.
TTT was number in 10 countries and charted in 27 countries. Platinum in 8 countries ( including 3 x time platinum ) Gold in 9 countries – including the USA.
WHYB has sold a million copies in the USA and is platinum in over countries, gold in even more
WFL was a monster – monster video and smash
Can Rita sell like TTT? Will she sell like that 7 yrs on? Rih is still selling nearly 10 yrs on
This girl needs to stay put and actually earn her money. Just showing up is getting old now. She’s done it for 7 years. She has little control over her career and I cannot wait for the day that is coming very soon,’ she’ll get interviewed and told how basic she is compared to the level her ‘records’ make her out to be… well apart from the records we all know about :
1. Most drugs by a female artist under 30
2. Most albums talking s*** for a female under 50 (Madonna has the over 50’s title)
3. Most fans on social media platforms who love you so much they can’t be arsed to buy your nasty albums.
4. Most black d**** dipped for an female in the music and film industry.
Can we have proof of 1, 2, 3, 4?
Also for 5,6,7,8 (etc.) because we know this b**** will keep their lying mouth open.
I think its Fake, but goodlike BEAUTYANNA!
Kelly never ask me for ‘proof’ we in court. No b****, don’t make me drag your c*** fiend ass. Rihanna is gonna get checked very soon.
I do see some arenas in there, and the Verizon center in DC is big. These are huge venues that she’s doing.
Very good article. I’m facing many of these issues as well..
New home sales jumped 34.6 percent to 214,000 square meters last week, terminating a five-week decline since mid-October, Shanghai Uwin Real Estate Information Services Co said. The figure excluded houses built for relocated residents under urban redevelopment plans.
