Bajan, you have your job cut out for you - cause these folks ain’t gonna quit. Accept that this is a free for all- the brainy and the brainless(dont forget the weirdos too). Just because some folks on cl post negatively about Rihanna does not mean that blacks hate her - so careful with that - .Most blacks could give a shit about Rihanna, Beyonce, Ciara, R. Kelley, Alicia etc - got more important stuff to worry about. Posting facts are Ok but attacking with all that rant and rave ain’t doint shit - just stirring up the hornets nest - this is america baby and folks gonna fight back. Chill , peace.

um i know somebody else notice when did ne-yo become a rapper??? i guess i missed out on his last album sounded like a singer to me it says so in the first sentence

not a Rihanna fan, but i don’t hate her either. i guess she’s just like every other artist. Like, i don’t normally comment on Rihanna, because I’m not a fan of her and she has done anything awful or great that i deem to be worth of my commenting. but damn i was actually reading a good amount of your comments and think damn, if you dislike her some much why bother even commenting. It’s not like she’s Remy Ma, which I don’t really like either, and she [REMY MA] tried to kill a bitch.. now that’s worth commenting on…Rihanna has done anything WRONG to the point that she deserves all the negative commenting…. New Year.. Let The Child Be!…….

well anyways on to more important people…….
Ne-Yo boo! get that money!

need i not comment on Rihanna, you people are only making her have a bigger artist by talking about her,lmao. do like me! just forget the bitch is even alive.lmao!!!
so yeah — Ne-Yo, getting his paper, Kellz, dumbass should have saw this one coming, Kellz give up with the touring, they never seem to work out for you anyway..
and, I’m not commeting on the pregnancy of Tracy either, let it go.lmao…..

Damn CL, what a way to RING in the New Year, The Rihanna hate machine is still in Full Affect. The Rihanna Stan Machine is working double shifts. The Beyonce, Ciara, Janet, and Alicia Keys machines are all chiming in.. and the people who think they know the music industry, but trully have know clue… STILL have no clue in 08′.. this already is looking to be an interesting year.. by the way. I’m gonna make ya go crazy with this next comment..

can you believe Def Jam is renewing Rihanna and Ne-Yo’s contracts, expect new albums from the 4th quarter… You know they have one album every year….

by the way, why are the comments so fucking long, ya some elaborate speaker i can tell, get in it..lol

LOL at the responses to Ne-YO

He is not suing R-Kelly at all.Did anyone even read the statement ?Hes suing the PROMOTER on the assumption that someone who they cannot name pressured the promoter to fire Ne-YO BECAUSE FANS AND CRITICS LIKED HIM BETTER roflmao .

What lower level opening act has a ironclad contract that says he cant be fired ?

The R-Kelly hate is so strong that people just go along with whatever it is no matter how silly it is .

Ne-Yo is about to get paid.

The guy only paid Rhianna $500,000 to sing a song that only lasted 15 min.

Why would Tracey marry a deadbeat dad who does not care of his own child?

Eddie should be taking care of baby Angel instead of marrying her step-mom.

This thread is off the hook, LOL!

@#82 — did a reporter really say that to Rihanna’s face? Talk about OUCH! DAMN!!! I’m all for people getting that paper and if somebody’s willing to burn $500,000 on her, then so be it. That’s about $499,000 too much in my book because the girl really *cannot* perform (she has a string of horrible reviews to prove it). But she’s out there grinding so good for her. Hope she stacks it for a rainy day. (15…14…13….12….11…..)

Tracey is beautiful and best wishes to Eddie and her and their Brady Bunch!

I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SICK OF RHIANNA .. NEXT

IM HAPPY NEYO IS FIGHTING BACK

hope things work out for ne-yo ;]
congrats eddie & tracey ;]

the best man was johnny gill.
things that make you go hmmmm…….

i’m glad ne-yo’s sueing. he’s talented, what more can i say?

rihanna……(snooze)

If I were ne-yo i’d sue R. Smelly’s stank ass too. get your $$$ paper dude!!!

I still think Rihanna is fly………..but she is noot very good live.

Eddie& Tracey (yawn….) I give it at least six months. I do not understand certain women always thinking they can change a man when you know DAMN WELL he was that way when you hooked up with him. I would never marry a Man who refuses to see is child……..that is not a MAN that is a P***Y! ( I actually have a friend who married this guy who already has a child and she like is four years old now…. has only seen her twice in her life! How f****d up is that? and she STILL married the dude!!!

Actually I am more inclined to believe that THIS is what Rihanna earned for her performance for the Russian Billionaire. 500,000 Russian Rouble = 20,358.0 US Dollar
The person who initially reported it forget to carry the 1,000! LOL And even at $20K the Russian OVERPAID!!!

I have never posted any comments.. I do read what others are saying. I decided to post because I am fed up with all of the prejudice and jealousy posted on these message boards. It is most obvious to everyone EXCEPT the HATERS, that jealousy and envy to the extremes posted here is just pure EVIL.

1.Rihanna has never claimed to be the “next” Whitney, But she is making hit records that are being recognized the world over. Furthermore, there is no next Mariah or “next” Whitney.
2.Rihanna was supposed to negotiate to get the most money she possibly could, that is her job, this is why her cd’s are not free. You all should be just as aggressive when negotiating business deals for yourselves, i am sure you are.

Rihanna is a pretty girl, by most anyones standards. She is sweet as candy in her interviews, and she comes across as genuine….. and she has $$$$$$. Why cant we just be happy for her? Or at least realize you should be happy for her, hide your hate, keep it inside. I am so tired of hearing it…and that goes for all of my girls you all constantly hate on..
Beyonce, Solange, Alicia, Ciara…MOST OF US LOVE ALL YALL….it just that a select few of the most obsessively jealous people on the planet, come on these internet sites to dog you guys. Most of them are ugly, poor, lonely and hopeless, just look at their pictures next to their posts.

actually malcom ciara didnt move a muscle when she sang MY LOVE in london…..all she had was a back drop and 3 male dancers who didnt do much themselves…its a beautiful BALLAD and she sang it pitch perfect….the whole of fricken wembley had their hands it the air, whether they came in a ciara fan or not.
so yes she can sing staying still and blow you away.

at 142…sayin we need to chill out…i’m perfectly chilled, this does not effect my life….but when you state strong opinions it sounds like you’re getting het up….but i’m perfectly fine thank you.

I also never post on board, but read comments out curiosity. What I see here and on other boards is that people have double standards and try to diss people with the wrong arguments, just to diss. If u want to compare someone do it right. GGGB came around the same time as Timbalands or T-pain’s album. These are huge artist and Rihanna has done a better job in the US and overseas. Most of her concert were sold out in Europe and the reviews over there were great. Did Rihanna put herself in Beyonce, Alicia or Whitney’s level, or are people doing that?? I know that Rihanna said herself that she is still learning and needs to improve and looks up to those people. If U want to compare Rihanna, compare her to people who are also just like her 3 years in the business. If U do that, you’ll see is doing a great job !!!

I agree with @167. People are saying really quick, the bitch can’t sing. We’ll did you here her live ?? I did and she sounded great. She really has improved, because I have also seen the not so good live performances. And she chooses to sing live, probably because she knows she can, unlike Britney spears for example. And she sure can sing !! I know I heard Beyonce a long time ago (DC time) and I was shocked they sounded well how can I say it nice, not so good. I heard Beyonce in May at her concert and she was amazing, so much improved. So I will give Rihanna a break.

Rihanna sure can sing………as for Britney I don’t know, I never heard her live, so will not judge. I have only seen her lip sinc on tv

For all you hating heffas just REMEMBER whos opening for who, yeah thats what i thought ciara is OPENING for rhianna.

colored is good. She has a quality personal profile at interracialloves.com - free community for black and white meeting.

Ne-Yo’s a bitch and Kels should be suing him for running to every radio jock that would listen

#156 you are so right, it’s like that once the hateration starts.

Fuck all you haters I dont hear any of you complainig about Paris Hilton and her sister got $500.000 to say happy new year at some club over the holiday. It seems that black ppl have a problem when other black ppl makes money, but not when white ppl do the same . Willy lynch at work.

@ 164 you must be on drugs she perform for a college crown at some university in Texas and she got $80,000 so why would she perform for $ 20,000

uh ya Ken, the RKelly hate is damn strong. and it has nothing to do with jealousy.

and on rihanna? i mean, the $$/attn she’s receiving speaks for itself. these artists are who the 2007 teeny-boppers like. if you’re above the age of 17 (which i assume most of yall are), why are yall even wasting the time arguing? hell, i used to loooooooooove some Backstreet Boys - a group a lot of people over the age of 16 or 17 couldn’t stand! and they sold millions cus everyone 12-16 was buying their albums. it’s all about the masses.

just find comfort in knowing that your personal taste requires more than jingles and boring hooks to make you a fan, wish the girl luck or not (500Gs or more, that aint what you get after your shrieks in the shower), and keep it movin.

Rkelly needs to sit down.

Everybody’s been saying that Ciara outshines Rihanna on her own tour. Enough said. Rihanna will be a has been just like Ashanti and so many others with no talent.

Good for Eddie and Tracey. Hope he treats her well.

Gold digger, tracy…

bittersweettttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt, you’re gonna get the best of me…..
I love Kanye….the song is the truth…

Question you guys: i havent been here that long, so what does a stan means?

“there are so many talented girls out there and only skinny ass bitches are famous im sorry but that is the truth”

Rhianna isn’t skinny. I think we’ve got one to many fatties on this board.

“i dont know wat rihanna has done to BLACK PEOPLE that they are treating her like OSAMA BIN LADEN. explain that to me, DID RIHANNA BLOW UP THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY WITH C4 OR SOMETHING? THE GIRL IS TREATED LIKE A TERRORIST. ”

I hate to say it but Caribbean chicks get hated big time. Jealousy is a b*tch!!

I’ll give Rihanna $20 for a lap dance……that’s about all the rain I can make

“Dnt get all excited, according to the article, that was pretty cheap considering george michael did a performance for 3.3million…they got her becuz she charges practically nothin..hahah…thats more than i have in my pocket but still, still aint doing big things…”

DA or DUH…Don’t ever let see you internet high-fiving anyone on this site because JHUD got 60k to perform somewhere. I remember when that article was posted you all were so proud of her. Now, it is Rhianna’s turn you want to dismiss 500k as if it is nothing? Hypocrites.

Well all i can say about the Neyo situation is that R. Kelly gave one hell of a performance in Charleston SC! Cant say that the concert lacked any without NEYO but Im sure NEYO did a great job, cuz I love a couple of his latest songs. Hopefully they work it out

That was wrong how R. Kelly did Ne-Yo. I hope everything works out for Ne-Yo.

Rihanna… I don’t know why anyone would pay to see her in concert. Seriously, the girl cannot sing and we have all seen the same pitiful performance of umbrella on youtube.

Eddie and Tracy. Wow. I can’t say anything good about getting married–divorced—and re-married. What makes them think it is going to work this time?

I had the pleasure of attending the R.Kelly concert on New Year’s Eve in Miami. And you guys can say what you want about Robert, but the man puts on a show! I would not have mind seeing Ne-Yo, but I spent over 90 dollars to see R. Kelly only! He performed over 2 1/2 hours and did hit after hit. He was phenomenal and if you ever get a chance to see him in concert you must do it. Keyshia Cole was also great, and it was a plus that Diddy came to perform on stage with her.

Rihanna is needs to stop wearing those dominatrix outfits on stage…other than that i lover her style.

Celeb’s get married so fast these days, didn’t she just split with babyface!?

SMDH @ those hating on Rihanna’s payday. She got that in 40 mins. Most of you wont earn that much in your lifetime!

I will repeat what I just said because I dont think it is posted. Many African Americans hate on black people that come here, work hard and succeed. Call me an immigrant or whatever the fuck you want. So what if you have been here all your life? In one year, I make more money than your mother and yourself will see in a lifetime. You have been here all your life and what have you acocmplished in that time? Not a damn thing! So fuck you!

I recently attended the R. Kelly Concert in Miami on New Year’s Eve. R. Kelly’s performance was outstanding! There’s no way in the world Ne-Yo performed better than him! No Way! Big Up R. Kelly!

tracy ia a beard and she’s willing to do it. Johnny Gill will accept anything because he needs a place to stay. Spice got what she deserves trying to trap a man .remember at the time ahe was a broke bloke.
Rhi is the flavor of the month. lets hope she does not go out like Be and tina: selling out to directtv.

191 Umm no Bey is not selling out to direct t.v. Direct t.v. are just doing what Pepsi, Armani, Loreal, Amex and all the other million advertisements that are asking for Beyonce to endorse their product. She’s number 1 on the list and is highest in demand so how is it selling out if they are asking her? Please if you had the chance to make what she makes you would probably endorse Burger King if they asked you. SMH Don’t hate on Bey because she is in more demand than anybody.

Anyway I hope Neyo works things out.

Rihanna is the next Ashanti just like others have said. She doesn’t have longevity like Alicia, Beyonce, Mary, and so on. That’s what happens when you have a pretty face but no talent to back it up.

Congrats to Eddie and Tracey on their marriage. Let’s see how long this lasts.

PERFECT HOT COUPLE. LUCKY GIRL, AND LUCKY GUY

@Bajan: Dont EVER disrespect the uber talented Lauryn Hill. She is not on drugs.

I dont think Ri is more well known internationally than MJB. MJB has been in the game for 27 years. She’sperformed in not just Eu but Afr S afr) as well.

Other than your crack LH comments, I agree w all that u;ve said.

I hope Neyon gets the $785k plus lawyer’s fees.

Lock up Rkelly’s pedofile *ss already !

Congrats Ri. Dont worry about the haters. You got your album sales $, your concert tour $, your cover girl /umbrella endorsement $. U work hard & deserve it.

Tracey is soooo stupid & I’m so disgusted. After 1 year she has married him. Let the countdown begin.

Many members are discussing this topic on interracialloves.com, it is said that his fans created a blog for him on that page.

Damn Puffy performed with Keyshia. R. Kelly is a show to see he gives you your money worth.

NEYO IZ WACK AS HELL…..CHI TOWN STAND THA FUC UP…KELZ IZ THA KING OF R AND B HANDZ DOWN……AND FA YA INFO THa conCERT WAS BANGIN’….HAV U EVA EVEN HEARD KELZ IN CONCERT OR ON RECORD…FUC OUTTA HERE…….NEYO WILL NOT B HERE IN 2 YRS KELZ IZ ABOUT 18 AND COUNTING…….WITH CLASSICS….NAME A NEYO CLASSIC…..NON EXISTENT…JUS LIKE BLK FOLKZ……..HATE IS THE NEW LOVE……..U HEARD THE MAN SAY HE SUIN THE PROMOTERS….

- I’ve had the op. to see Ne-Yo perform 2-3 times and he doesnt have much stage appeal ; but that doesn’t take away from his artistry. But R. Kelly handled his business on stage.

- Rhi has only been in the game a short while and she has a good voice; her stage show may be a little weak but that can be worked on. If Ciara couldn’t dance, she wouldnt have half the fans she does now. Her performance makes up for where her vocals lack; same for Janet. Janet is a phenom. performer but honestly her vocal isn’t the strongest or the greatest.. she sings songs that fit her ability.

Let’s give Rhi some breathing room.. there are more important things going on in the world.

I think Eddie and Tracy make a good couple and are among the few of black hollywood that actually employ other black actors and actresses, so there’s a lot of money circulating between these two. A true power couple. Congrats!

Eddie has the funniest smirk on his face, like, “you wouldn’t even understand the type of money this union involves” as this man is a comedian first and foremost. lmao

I don’t care I don’t like Rihanna she’s fake. SHe also got a weird look figure. There I said it now waht

Who give a 2 cent about Rihanna. That girl was fake from the start. She can’t dance or Sing. Her career is going to be short. Please don’t compare Riahnna to Mya

For you Informantion Mya can sing and dance.
