Our TV screens anyway…this week after making appearances not only on this site but, on Jay Leno, 106 & Park and the Today show, one has to wonder if Rihanna is really about to take over this year. I say so…with that cute little style of hers.
Rihanna got a lil sexy-glam-gangsta-punk on 106 yesterday and performed “Umbrella”
view her performance
This morning, she did a live performance on the Today Show. To view the rest of her performances this week, visit oh-rihanna.
She looks so hot. Too bad it’s a contrived, forced, record company conspried image.
But the chick SELLS IT!
Go RiRi!

Go RiRi!
Rihanna’s taking Beys spot on the loop I see. Im not feeling her attire at all ! blah
Damn Complex did you have to hog the top 2 spaces – LOL j/k
Still not a fan, but I ain’t mad at her hustle. She is doing the damn thing.
Good for Rihanna.
rI-RI LOOKS CUTE!!!
That hat looks absurd! The chick can’t sing for sh.. but she sells it well because she has mad confidence and drive.
yea, i think i liked her image before in her first video. Her image now is all over the damn place & it just seems like she’s being forced to play dressup. I dont feel she ever looks totally comfortable or owns her style.
She cute, but that bob wig is starting to look more & more like a wig everytime i see her.
HAS ANYONE OTHER THAN MYSELF NOTICED THAT SHE HAS/HAD THE SAME HAIRCUT FROM THE ME, MYSELF, AND I VIDEO @ THE VERY BEGINNING.
OTHER THAN THAT RIHANNA IS WHATS HAPPENING THIS YEAR. I MEAN THE GIRL IS HOTT. AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING EVEN THOUGH SHE CAN ONLY SING A LITTLE SHE STILL HAS MAD TALENT AND A COOL PERSONALITY AND WITH THAT SHE IS TAKING OVER THE ENTERTAINMENT-MUSIC INDUSTY
Rihanna is smart. You can tell that Beyonce has influenced her a whole lot especially in her performances. As long as she don’t let mama Tina dress her for the Grammy’s she’ll be fine.
WOW ! HAS ANYONE OTHER THAN MYSELF NOTICED THAT SHE HAS/HAD THE SAME HAIRCUT FROM THE ME, MYSELF, AND I VIDEO @ THE VERY BEGINNING.

AND NO I DIDNT MEAN TO POST THAT TWICE
Rhi Rhi Is Lookin Sexier and Sexier.
I Like Her New Image.
SHE LOOKS NICE~I DIDN’T SEE THE PERFORMANCES HOPEFULLY SHES STILL IMPROVING.
ON ANOTHER NOTE~I LOVE SELL ME CANDY AND DON’T STOP THE MUSIC. I HOPE THEY’RE FUTURE SINGLES…
Rihanna has be accused of swagga jackin Beyonce but its really Fefe Dobson’s style that she is stealing. I mean she doin it right now but she had to go pop/rock to sell records and get noticed.
I like how she has her own style, and she’s not being sucked into the beyonce mill… Because there is a bunch of little beyonce’s running around… thinking that’s the way to make it, and it’s not… that’s her style u gotta get ur own… Rih, will have long Gevity because she’s not a swagger jacker!!!
damn are you gay you keep rianna bitch ass on concrete loop you fucking lesbian I’m tired of this bitch shit she aint nothing special and can’t sing for shit so why do keep this bitch on here
I dunno if I like the dominatrix look, but I’ll give my girl her props
Rihanna is doing big thangs.I dont think she is going to dissapear any time soon, I know she making big money. I bought her cd yesterday,I’ll listen to it today.I hope its good.
She’s taking over the year?!?!? Sure Tianna, whatever you say! lol. Rihanna takes over Bey’s spot on CL, as far as the posts goes. I mean over the past two weeks, this girl has recieved over 30 posts on this blog site. So sure she has taken over everyone’s spot. I’m seriously wondering if she’ll sell over 300,000 copies, first week. I higly doubt it (it’s not that easy) but you never know. Her outfits are so cute though.
lmaooo @ that hat! i agree wid number 1 tho. this image is almost too contrived! she doesn’t have the credibility (like say Kelis who we know is naturally out there and wacky/creative). but Kudos to Riri-shes stepped her game up and her actions shows shes got the drive that it takes to succeed unlike say Kelly Rowland who actually has beauty & genuine talent in abundance but is useless and unambitious. (sorry it just annoys me lol)
BTW she was waaaaayyyyy off-key and ‘pitchy’ in the middles part!!!!
SHE HAD AN APPEARANCE ON THE TODAY SHOW, AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT WASN’T THAT BAD.
I cosign 100% Complexndope.
HEY!! WHERE ARE MY COMMENTS!?!
Style comes in many forms and shapes, so they are going to be people similiar to one another. Beyonce is in a class of her own. I love watching her perform, but I am tired seeing her on everything. Summer is about being fresh and new, so I say bring Rihanna and any one else who feels that they are worthy. The girl is making money, and people are hating because they can not rock that haircut or wear that hat. Get a life…. step ya game up. And besides… since beyonce is such a supernova, she cant act to save her momma’s life. Be promoter… don’t be a hater.
WE TAKIN OVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! LADIES YES WE ARE……
She’s pretty, but her songs are hot garbage.
The only song I liked from her was SOS! That was my ish!!
Rihanna is just a freakin’ robot programed to to everything that Beyonce’ does and doesn’t. The girl can barely form a complete sentence, and people are going around praising her because she has a bob. Hell, it’s a bob. She’s got a bubble gum pop/urban-alternative song and she’s now taking over????? NOT!!!!! ELLA ELLA EY EY and Jay-Z made Umbrella hot so->
On 106 she was ok. I wish her much success on her cd.
I agree it is FeFe Dobson and Avril Lavigne that Rhianna is Swagger jacking….I also think this is what Solange tried to do with Solo Star but it just didn’t work out.

Im sure if you had a job you wouldnt have to see rihanna all on concreetloop all day…becuase you would be working.
#8 & #10.
That is NOT! the same haircut from that video. Bey never rocked a bob like Rihanna’s…especially not in that video.

Don’t try to bring Ms. Knowles into this post with false comparisons.
she isn’t even going 2 sell over 200,000 in the first week it’s between 160,000 & 170,000
Paul McCartney is going 2 have the #1 album selling over 180,000
t-pain will have the #2 album selling between 175,000 & 180,000
I don’t like the hat. it looks misplaced. just because ur on bet doesn’t mean u need to thug it up. Anyways, has anyone noticed her pics are similar to another photoshoot beyonce did (with her like in rollers and in the shower)? its probably the same photographer but yea, similar styl of photos.
shes a pretty girl, she’s been out for LESS than 3 years and has 3 albums… a bit too forced for me… but i do think this last one is the best one. The other 2 were meh esspecially the 2nd one. I remain nuetral on this girl. i dont know what to think of her. i feel like i should like her but something is missing. maybe it’s her lack of personality? i dunno.
Rihanna is working her but off! I aint mad at her!!
rihanna is the best
Rihanna does look like Fefe Dobson but she is starting to get a bit more over the top with this new image. To me this doesn’t really fit her. Its a thin line between looking “rocker chic” and looking clownish.
She is also adopting Beyonce’s work ethic(may or may not be a good thing-too early to say).
All in all, I think once she finds her “true niche” in the industry she’ll do 100X better.
Cause she’s taking over…One city at a time…..
The performance on 106 and the Today Show were horrible. All of this running around Def Jam has her doing is obviously wearing her down, stifling her ability to hit any kind of notes, what so ever.
She was already lacking strong vocal abilities from the start. Now, with the fatigue that comes with a heavy promotional campaign, she’s going to sound worse. I’m talking Cassie worse.
But um yea, she can still get a load of semen from me.
Those background singers literally carried her thru that song.
The dancers were fine as hell! I had to remind that just 4 them lol!!
She thought she was breaking it down on the slower part of the song, reminded me of her singing Hero in high school!
You know I was just whatching that tonight show performance on youtube to see what people were talking about and they were right, she actually was very good there . I think thats the best performance of the song she did.
Rihanna get ready for the grammys girl. Next year its all about you and Amy Winehouse. You heard it here first.
Rihanna also said that she might have another album next year.
LMAO @38!!! I was waiting for such a comment from Caff. U always gotta take it there. Neways I’m glad at least some of our fine brothers still have a healthy appettite for the sisters. Dark coochie is delicious. Milk is stank
She looks good with this new look….now if she could perform…and i’m not talking about singing…but relax and stop doing the rehearsed robot moves….come on RiRi…u know we caribbean people can move….loosen up….
rihanna in my fantasies boy I’d let her whip me with a chain if i was on x pills while playing my favorite rock song alice in my fantasies by funkadelic. yes shje has the look and attitude but she’s not all that as a singer i agree but hell she’s better than britney, and paris hilton.
Nope–she looks horrid, tacky and like she gained a bit too much weight. Just sloppy.
That little bob, sorry only Naomi can carry a ‘do like that. She looks like the one of the damn beetles!
TODAY SHOW performances were good.
@haters, singin etc is rihanna’s job. wat do u expect her to do? be a couch potato. the girl is hard at work and is not slackin. and fuh de idiot that said jayz mek umbrella hot is really an arse. jayz’s part could have been left out and it will still be the hottest song in the WORLD. SOS was done by RIHANNA and she made that song the BOMB all over the WORLD. stop bein judgmental of someone who has determination and drive to succeed, is that wrong? UMBRELLA HAS TAKEN OVER US, UK, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, IRELAND, NORWAY, SWITZERLAND, SWEDEN, GERMANY, FRANCE, LUXEMBURG, FINLAND, BELGIUM, ETC. SHE IS NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD. LOVE IT OR LUMP IT.
rihanna, u real sexy and gorgoeus, keep climbin dat ladder cause these crabs want to pull u back down but it aint wukkin. i loved ur performances on today show and i cant wait fuh TRL and THE VIEW on monday. love u.
please she is not going 2 get a muthafuckin grammy!!!!!!
THIS POST IS ABOUT RIHANNA NOT BEYONCE DAMN SOME OF YALL NEED HELP. GET OUT THAT GIRL’S ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This new style that she has is not cute yall need to stop bench pressing this chick nuts. Whatever she do, regardless if it’s wack or not, you groupies act like yall too scared to say that yall are not feeling it. Get a life, she is cute though, lol!!!
I guess…still not catchin a ride on the bandwagon.
Rihanna is so pretty, but she’s so wack. The skully and gloves gotta go.
^^^^ hatin’
How you figure as thin as she is she put on weight. I already see mad woman rocking that hairstyle now all on her tip.
HER IMAGE IS OBVIOUSLY MOST DEFINETLY ALL MARKETING, HER WHOLE STYLE, HER MUSIC…EVERYTHIN AND YESS SHE IS DOIN THA DAMN THING LYK SHE SHOULD BE DOIN, PROMOTING HERSELF/SELLIN HER IMAGE, SHE IS DOIN THE DAMN THANG, BUT SHE STILL HASNT GOTTEN MY RESPECT AS AN ARTIST. I DONT REALLY SEE ANY CREATIVITY IN HER ART, I DONT SEE ANY REALNESS 2 HER. ANYONE AGREE?
I be weak cause she really think she breaking it down!
With all that promotion these low album sales further prove that people are not really willing to invest in her as an artist. Shes only good for taking pictures and having a good summer song. Shes pretty though lol
My comment was to #45
Let me ask a question scicne females have a problem with every mainstream female artist thats out now. who is doin the damn thing.
@52 Victoria Beckam actually started that hair cut trend sweets
What happened to Caribbean Rihanna, is this change really for her? I liked pon de replay, she danced comfortably, she dressed comfortably and she looked happy.
I love Rihanna’s music and I love that song but her live performances confirm my thought that I will never pay to see her perform live. That song has so much energy in it and she gives none! It’s totally disappointing. This the type of song where when performed live, you want to see some high energy dancing not a couple of umbrella tricks. Love her look and overall style but the performance was pretty bad (her voice was bad and the dancing – if you want to call it that – was even worst). She’s definitely just a studio singer.
Yeah she looked stupid ass hell w/ that damn skully on her head…like wear the hell does that fit in w/ her outfit. Her performance was dry as hell…the male dancers were killin it though! And she aint no Aretha but she can hold a note, and she’s pretty. My family is from St. Michael also so 4 that she gets some cool points. I’m wondering y she blew up and Tierra Marie didn’t? Anyway, oh and Terrence is CORNY as hell but am I the only one that finds him cute!?! :/
“45″ here:
Uhh, Hdizzle, I myself am a tall girl, and slim. Though not a size 2, I can clearly see she looks heavier than in the past.
I’m spouting my opinion, just as you and everyone else chose to. It looks TO ME like she’s gained weight.
Is that being a “hater”? If so, THANKS!
