With Hurricane Beyonce fast approaching, it seems her one time heir apparent Rihanna has smartened up and decide to work on that voice.

We kid you not.

Last night, for the first time since performing ‘Stay‘ on X Factor UK last winter, the Pop Princess served a decent vocal showing at the Montreal outing of her ‘Diamonds World Tour’, despite arriving 70 minutes after initially scheduled.

Sure, while her voice is still enough to strike fear in the drum of many an unsuspecting ear, her delivery yesterday evening was kind of decent- clearly inspired by the acclaim afforded to real vocalists like Rita Ora, Ciara and of course…Queen Beyonce.

Not sure what we mean?

Guess who decided to give those vocals a rest?

Yep, perhaps in realising the sound that springs from her mouth can at times give ‘nails on a chalkboard’ realness, last week saw Rihanna employ a backing vocal during her performance of ‘Pour It Up’ on the first night of her ‘Diamonds World Tour’.

Opting to execute a stripper friendly choreography instead of singing live, her serving of the song does make for an interesting watch, telling a number of tales on how many hours both she and team spent in rehearsing for the show.

It was supposed to be the grandest tour of her career.

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.

As far as her mid tempos go, Rihanna rarely disappoints when it comes to performing live.

However, when the contralto is forced to deliver live renditions of her upbeat cuts, it’s safe to say the standard is 50 shades of nay.

Pancake flat and occasionally coarse, it’s a wonder the good people of Buffalo decided to put themselves through this torture when they purchased tickets to her ‘Diamonds World Tour’, launched in fresh aid of her #1 album ‘Unapologetic’.
