Ask about Beyonce, eversince she broke from DC, she has never as a solo act been an Openning act for anyone! Alicia Keys Niether!!! This is Rihanna’s 3rd album and she is still opens and co-signs for people! She’s not doing those numbers headlining it herself, thats Glow in The Dark Stats, but the “Beyonce Experience” LOL was sellin out all over the World!!!

#68
How can she be “one of many opening acts for Kanye”? I think she’s on tour with him, just as Beyonce, Alicia, and Missy were on tour together… Tamia opened for them… I’m sure that’s how the Glow in the Dark tour will be…Rihanna’s probably just as big, if not bigger, than Kanye with the audience a tour like that would draw… I would say Lupe is the opening act… Maybe even NERD, but I doubt it… The idea of NERD and Rihanna performing on the same tour is what everybody seems to be so loopy over…They’ve got way more mainstream appeal… So, again…I SERIOUSLY doubt she’s opening for anybody on that tour…She’s kind of a big deal…

that article is from long ago her cd is more than 4 mil worldwide i dont see the point of her re-realesing not like she needs to but we’ll see

i love it! go rihanna! haters to back up!

rihanna is not an opening act i repeat not an opening act she is a support act which means they’re touring together and she did not open for akon akon was his support act that’s why it was called the good girl gone bad tour. danm people will believe what they want to instead of getting the facts right

#76 No one would rather listen to Rhianna because she is mediocre at best. Ciara & Keyshia sell better than her in the USA!

She alright I guess. I don’t see her staying relevant for a long time like Mary and Janet. Just as fast as she rose to fame, she can fall..but I guess that goes for a lot of the studio artists out these days. I never hear people talk about how talented she supposedly is but people seem to love her style. Like a fashion trends, she will eventually go out of style.

Ummm, Rhi Rhi opened for Akon and it was not called the GGGB Tour!LOL Yes, she’ll be opening for Kanye’s Tour! Rhi Rhi can’t headline in the USA!

It seems like an okay song and her vocals have improved but I still don’t see her having staying power especially now Jay isn’t pushing her with Def Jam anymore.

YAWN: WHAT EVA HAPPEND RIHANNA???
GUESS SHE NEED TO STAY LONG AWAY FROM CHRIS BROWN……COZ SHE SURE IS STEPPING LOW!!! THIS SOUNDS HORRIBLE= LYRICAllY/VOCALLY/MATERIALLY….EVERYTHING!!!

SHE NEEDS TO STOP THE THROUGH THA NOSE BUSINESS!!! GOSH….

Go Rhianna I will be purchasing the rerelease album jus like I bought the first one

RIHANNA ISNT REaLLY MUCH APPRECIATED IN THE US….LIKE SHE IS IN EUROPE!! RIHANNA CANT DO A BIGG ARENA TOUR BY HERSELF…unlike BEYONCE!!!

UMBRELLA MITE HAVE BROUGHT HER TO LIGHT + EXTRA PAID PAPZ….BUT SHES STILL GOT A LONGGGG WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!
I MEANN WE’VE SEEN BETTER!!

THIS SONG SUCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSS

WHATEVA WAS SHE THINKIN!!
THIS SHIT STINNKS

sadly i agree even tho i’m a fan, this song i donno i don see nethin special about it, i mean it’s good but she has so much better songs hopefully it’s jus a preview on what’s on the re-release not what’s going to released

I got this from brown sista blog!

Rihanna & Beyonce: So Glamorous
November 4, 2007 at 3:27 am

Rumor has it Rihanna’s Good Girl Gone Bad CD will be re-released as a Deluxe Edition, featuring two bonus tracks and an original track called So Glamorous which will feature Beyonce. The Deluxe Edition will also feature a DVD of all Rihanna’s videos and clips from her tour which is still in progress. Word is this new opus will drop worldwide on January 15, 2008. No word yet who wrote and produced the single but I think it’s safe to say it will be hot. I don’t think either of these ladies would work with the other unless they knew they would have a guaranteed hit on their hands. Beyonce will hope to have another smash single like she had with Shakira, while Rihanna will hope to up her record sales which have been sluggish, despite her first single being a worldwide hit.

I personally look forward to the video. I love to see big female artists work together and Beyonce has shown that she can hang with another female without trying to compete of overpower them. How Rihanna will deal with Beyonce waits to be seen. Will she be able to hold her own on camera like Shakira did? Only time will tell. What do you guys think?

DAS BACK IN O7!!! GOSH KEEEP UP PPL!!!

YU REALLY THINK BEE WUD DO A SNG WIV HER!!!!

she sounds better but she also sounds like beyonce now. she must have been studying bee tracks all night for all those yrs. don’t like the song. it’s dumb. seriously listen to the lyrics and you’ll’ see how dumb the song is. “umbrella” is going to be her biggest hit for a longgg time and it’s going to be the song she’s known by. this song sucks substance-wise

I don’t know if bey would do a song with her. I hope not but then again I like them both and if the song was leaked and it was hot then maybe it could work for both of them. I never actually commented on the subject. I just heard about it and was like “I want proof that this is actually true” thats it.

I like this song….it’s cute but RiRi could do a lil’ better. I hope she really is doing a collabo with Bey…that would be interesting!!

@ SLEEPIN BEAUTY TAKE YO ASS BACC TO SLEEP WIT DAT HATING BULLSHIT BITCH… BITCH PLEASE!!!

So is the new trend now to do a cd and then re release it?

RI RI has another radio Banger!!!!

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy is she rereleasing her cd??

The song is ok love Neyo tho.

Some of you are answering your own questions.. If her CD sold sooooo much, then why re-release it?

Obviously for the amount of money the label spent, it did nowhere near the numbers they would’ve hoped. This girl’s career is about to be finished.

When the next fashionable young lass comes out I shall show all you Rihanna lickers this and leave you to make your excuses. Just like what you say about Beyonce now, you will be saying it about Rihanna soon. Mark my words.

Okay people. Stop hatin’ on the girl.
She’s doing her thing!! People LOVE her : the music, the style…
YOU NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT SHE’S BIG.
Go Rihanna! Don’t pay attention to those haters, they will always exist, unfortunately

no one is hating she sounds.lyrics good voice i rather hear a dog back.Shes needs to go away .Any if rihanna is all that why she needs to rerelease her album unless the chick is a flop.

uhh she better go beg DREAM to write her another single before her 15 mins of fame is up. This is garbage…

Hate on Hater.
Rhianna is doing her thing people keep comparing her to Keyshia yeah she can sing. But Keyshia is not being talked about on People and in Mainstream media like Rhianna. Concrete Loop didn’t even announce that Rhianna helped a lady find a donor. Which such news is found in mainstream media. She is on the cover of Cosmo and other mainstream magazines besides Essence and Ebony which I love both but you have to give credit where credit is due.

i wish ya’ll beyonce stans would find something new to talk about..gahdamn.its time out for comparing everybody to beyonce…we all know the chick can sing and dance better than most but damn,not everybody is trying to walk in her stilettos..let rihanna live…

acting as if beyonce created a whole style that nobody can get around!

as for the song,im lovin it but i dont know if its good enough for the first new single

Rihanna, please go away.

Other than Umbrella, has any of her other songs that have been released from this album been AS popular? She has what, three other singles that barely made a dent. How many times did you see the video for Shut Up and Drive or Please Dont Stop the Music. C’mon, you know her makeover made her a superstar, Umbrella was just the icing on the cake. And I dont care how “she making it rain” , I’m not paying any amount of money to here her sing live per monotone. Her range is mediocore at best and so is her dancing. If I want a live Performance, Im going to see Janet. Call me hater, but thats just me having a opinion. Im not on the Bangwagon like everyone else.

Remember people re released albums that went 8X,9x, or diamond? i’m over with re releasing albums. I don’t like this song. I LOVE rihanna. But the over exposure is a little overwhelming. You know why Usher has been so succesful? because at the exact moment when he’s about to be over exposed he GOES AWAY for awhile. These damn artists need to take note

*hear

SHE RERELEASING ALMOST A YEAR LATER…WOW…AND I DON’T CARE FOR THIS SONG….DOWNGRADE!!!

I like it. Ne-yo did a good job. I like how hes writing all these female “athems”. I think she sounds amazing. I always knew Rihanna could sing but I think she just needed to find the right material for her voice. As far me buying the re release…I’m cool, I got the first one- that’s enough.

sounds like irreplaceable in a way …the lyrics n e way

Rihanna is so Pretty, but I am not a fan of her voice to be honest I can only do one song at a time… Her voice bothers me and this song bothers me why do they keep giving her slow songs like she can sing like that….

NExt….Im so over her…

after a few listens i kind of like it but i feel like it’s a neyo cover. doesnt seem to be her song unlike the other songs on her previous albums which i loved rite away but still i wish her success with this one and the re-release maybe they have a killa mind in mind

*killa video in mind*

@106 your rite. that is why usher is so successful he knows when to go away and then we miss him and then he comes out wit a banger.now i’m the biggest beyonce fan/stan but she does need to fall back so we can miss her

I think this song is boring and ” Breakin Dishes” would have been a better single….I don’t get it, Rhianna has made strides in setting herself apart from theclone image of Beyonce she was becoming, but it just seems like she cant resist trying to emulate her on wax…..seriously.

” get gone” - that phrase is from Beyonce’s Irreplaceable….Big Up Beyonce. You set the trends while others continue to follow.

Please stop with all this comparing, I’m getting tired of Beyonce Stans crashing in every female artists and making her a standard of music. I like Beyonce’s music but you stans take it to the extremes. You, stans, are only making people despise and dislike Beyonce.

Now on to my review, I don’t think this is a good move on Rhianna’s part. The song is missing some spark, some type of umph. Good luck to her.

Beyonce’s is back ya’ll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like this song its grown on me i think her vocals have definatley improved, but i say stay doing your thing Rhi Rhi, and can you people please keep beyonce’s name out ya mouths cos this thread aint about her, niether is anyone checking for her at the moment so please give it up already, Rhianna is the hottest chick in the game right now so deal with it.

And why is Ciara’s name also being mentioned that girl can’t even sell out her home let alone and 20,000+ arena so please haters fall back.

i wish she sang the way she dresses!

i do like the concept of the song, but her voice doesn’t inspire me.

I would like to see Rihanna expand her range a little more. She sings the same few notes the same way on most of her songs. This song follows suit. Its nice and will get spins but as an artist she needs to consider challenging herself by expanding her range in songs.

WACK WACK WACK WACK! RIHANNA IS SO DAMN LAME AND IT SEEMS LIKE NEYO HAS LOST HIS TOUCH CAUSE THAT SHIT WAS WACKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!! LIKE I BEEN SAYING FOR THE LONGEST….DEPORT THAT HOE!

Listened to the song a couple times and I must say its pretty good. Her voice does sound good. Its a song that will grow on you.

LMFAOOO @ 122….THAT BITCH’S VOICE IS HORRIBLE ENOUGH. SHE BETTER NOT DARE ATTEMPT TO SING IN HIGHER NOTES….HELL MUTHAFUCKIN NAW. DID YOU SEE HER DECAPITATE MARIAH CAREY’S “HERO?” WHY DOES THE BITCH EVEN HAVE A RECORD DEAL……….SMH, AND THEY SAY HOES DON’T GET FAR

Rihanna reminds me of those Female acts between 1986- late 1991 who weren’t that talented but they were beautiful and the top notch producers of that time could work with them and give them a flashy video. They got a few hits but when that time frame was gona they were so finished. That’s why they rush her albums cuz they know she’ll have that same fate.

Does these artists ring a bell?:
Seduction
Suzy Q
Samantha Fox
Tyler Collins
Sweet Sensation
Cover Girls
Cathy Dennis (but she’s a really talented songwriter though)

get my dirft??

“WHAT IN THE FLYING BISCUIT ROLLS IS GOING ON?!! ” LMAO

Ok back to the song: It’s… Ne-yo try again. I think you can do a better job at writing then this.

song is good, its well written but unfortunately rihanna’s voice isn’t doin it no justice..her vocals are weak.

Damn… Rihanna never sleeps. And people were getting on Beyonce for being back in the studio. Rihanna is the one with 3 albums out already.

Its a good song… but the lyrics are a bit… awkward.

“You’re so ugly with you cry.”
“You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on.”

I know Ne-Yo can write better shit than this. Other than that… its pretty good. Not sure if its single worthy, but we’ll see.

It’s aight, it kind of put me to sleep.

to all the ppl who are hating on the song If it was Janet, MJB or Alicia everyone would be calling it a hit. Janet would have been happy to have this as her first single with the bricks she keep releasing. Its just because its Rihanna that most of you hating its not the song

Dude, this sounds like irreplaceable part 2 or something. Def. can tell Ne-Yo wrote this, but its decent.

@ Malcolm

I disagree. If Janet did this it wouldn’t be a hit. Feedback was a hit (it peaked at 19) but radio and airplay never matches up. Thing with Janet is as she is getting older, it is hard to get her one radio as with Madonna and other legends. (No doubt 4 minutes will get on radio becuz JT is on it but that’s another story.)

And I don’t hate RIhanna. I liked GGGB, but seriously, what does she really have????

I just don’t like the song.

without reading everyone elses comments, i know they are hating but i love this song, i loie rhianna. nuff said

hm. i like the song, well mainly the words..but co-signing with everyone else this is like a mix of all the stargate tracks and the words are kind of like irreplaceable but thats not rihannas fault. Neyo, just writing about the same stuff right now. But i do think the vocals also sound a bit like beyonces. eh. i like both artists. i dont think this song is going to be as big as umbrella but its a neyo joint so itll get played. she def. stepped up vocally.

oh btw, anyone notice this song is like part 2, to madonnas “say goodbye” (old joint) in the aspect that both songs refer to love as a show, and the man acting like an ass so he should take a bow, & closing the curtains cause the show is over…just food for thought.

Heres another review!

Rihanna
(RDS, Dublin, Ireland - February 27th, 2008)
It’s been a sensational ride to fame for the 18-year-old who caught the attention of Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson’s superproducers Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken. Struck by her combination of dancehall, calypso, reggae and soul, Rihanna recorded her first album 2005’s Music of the Sun and this year’s A Girl Like Me.
Her show was a Disney-esque choreographed fantasy of non-stop hip-swivelling, sassy attitude and personal endearments and a string of funky, sugar-free hits, such as We Ride, Unfaithful, Kisses Don’t Lie and the Soft Cell-inspired SOS that, even by hip-hop standards, was surprisingly forgettable. The music took a back seat to fashion as Rihanna had a hard time singing in tune, while her dancing was little more than strutting back and forth. Meanwhile, her hyperactive DJ kept telling us to make some noise, which I thought Rihanna was already doing sufficiently well on her own!
Notwithstanding, Rihanna’s bubble-gum-sing-along-type music, namely Hate That I Love You (featuring Neo on her latest album Good Girl Gone Bad), Shut Up And Drive and her biggest hit to date Umbrella, remixed with a rocksteady outro, found its mark.
…………………
Damn shame!

Now, I like this song in a kinda Beyonce irreplaceable way, it’s the kind of song you could listen to when wrong has been/is being done. To all the people who says she sounds beer vocally, she sounds the same to me and anytime i see performances in the europe side of the waters she sounds good whilst singing live…

i never doubted she could sing and has a very unique you can tell its her straight away.
The only problem Rihanna could have is over exposure and should consider that.
The fact that she’s released 3 albums in 3 years means nothing, Mariah used t do the same thing before the Glitter experience…

Gosh, shut up.

Album sales just are not the same anymore, so people have to re-release.

Good lyrics, okay vocals, mediocre song.

Release Cry or Breaking Dishes, or Rehab. Geesh.

@ 8, they re-release their albums because they know that america is brainwashed and they know that people will go out and actually by the cd…..again.

i meant buy

I like the song…. it’s getting really tiring reading that she’s trying to copying or sing like that B chick… thought it was a cute song… the ones who like it I’m sure will go and cop the re-release of her cd… and in the end I think that’s all that matters…. I would have liked to see her release Rehab [love this song] but I’m sure whatever seh comes out with will do well… especially if it comes with a decent video…

Normally won’t correct someone’s post but I had…

>>

Alicia was an opening act… she opened for Maxwell… had to sit through her performance three times… this was when she first came out and her debut cd was receiveing critical acclaim… yet she was still the opening act and in the reviews of the show she was so outshined by Max… As for Beyonce… she too has not always been the headliner… couldn;t tell you the concert tour because I refuse to sit through a performance…

I have had this album for several months, I really love it. I think this is Rihanna’s best album ever. Does it drop in stores May 27th? Oh, no need to wait for such a long time. I just got this awesome album online with a nice price. And a deal I found is only $10: dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=87310&ru=279 , if anybody is looking forward to it, he/she can check it out.

NICE PIC!!!
