BUT I LOVE THE SONG… I GIVE HER ANOTHER 2 YEARS IN THE GAME!!!

i can’t wait for everyone’s performance though.
specifically ‘ye’s and bey’s.
Hottest chick in da game ’08
Ew. I hate how those high-waisted pants look on her, only Alicia can pull that off IMO.
She looks pretty but that hair is so Jimmy Neutron.
And why is she even practicing? If ya can’t sing then ya can’t sing, she can have all the time in the world and her voice will still sound like an injured camel.
Damn this girl is on fire!!!!..riri my style icon
SHE’S ONE PRETTY, GLAM, FABULOUS, GORGOUES, STYLE CHICK LOL SHE EVERYTHING!
AND OF COURSE WITH ALL THAT THERES GOING TO BE JEALOUSY AND HATERZ! BUT WHATEVER WE PAY HATARZ NOOO MIND! I DONT SEE THE POINT OF IT
She looks mad confident up on that stage, I heard its going to be a big production and it looks like Pyro will be going off behind her! Whoooo! I love Rihanna she’s going to kill it at the AMA’s….she got so much swagger! Baddest chick in the game, hands down!!
i can’t wait.
i like her ‘fit.
chris dnt look good i dnt understand how people say he’s fine i just dont see it
riri looks nice as per usual
Haters are in here begging for attention, wanting to bring up *you know who* bwhaha!!
Get it Rihanna, you are truly FIERCE and ICONIC
@15, you never hear that about another “special person”, or she does is shake rattle and roll, you never hear people say who she sang that song, you always hear do you see that move, or the way she shook her hair, or her a$$, people are so funny
laughin at all these comments sayin she the baddest chick in game…
she a pretty girl…her stylist keeps her lookin fly (cuz it sure aint her)
she has good songs..but thats bout it lol..
baddest chick in game? naw…
when she learns how to sing then maybe ill consider it…until then ill just enjoy watchin what her stylist puts together for her to wear lol
Wow she looks GORGEOUS! I’ll be watching the show just to see what she wears, and I hope she sings REHAB lol Look at her smile, she’s so pretty
I LOVE HOW WE’RE BEING CALLED HATERS, it makes me laugh, but were you guys checking for her when she dropper her first album? *crickets* im sure u really werent, this chick is based on STYLE AND LOOKS. Seriously, who gets dolled up for a performance? she just needs the attention so people can focus on “awwwe she’s so cute”, not ONE person will mention “her vocals were on point”. It’s gonna b, “she looked hot on stage”. Ill say it again….NEXT! Let’s see some Ciara, Beyonce or Leona Lewis.
Rihanna looks fly as always, Kanye West looks like a black Peewee Herman
Can you people forgive rihanna? Like really forgive her for doing more in 3 years by herself, Than you or your idol when they were her age, What is wrong with you?Why are you so upset with her? Dang everywhere i go FAT DARK UNEMPLOYED GHETTO UNEDUCATED lakeishas maquishas beyonce’ s worshippers have something to say about rihanna. Dang! Enough is enough already , wHEN WILL YOU BE HAPPY WHEN SHE DIES????
Do you know how pitiful you are? How much you want to bet that bey and rihanna are dying laughing about your comments right about now? i LOVE BOTH OF THEM bOTH of them are talented rich and very classy and it’ s sad that people can’ t give them their props without hating on each other and honestly bey can sing and dance better than rihanna but rihanna is younger and prettier and in the white man world she wins! They have been waiting to have a model-looking- pop singer so they can milk the hell out of her, While black peoplee are sitting there hating and try to put down one of our own, you all make me sick
Go riri, do it girl, make them haters hate and have heart attacks lmao
hottest chick in the game, rihanna!!!!!!!!!
Well I’m looking foward to seeing Kanye, Alicia Keys, Pink, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, and even Taylor Swift’s performances.
Rihanna not so much. She seems to never deliver live, especially at award shows. I hope she lipsyncs. And I notice she always needs extra props and a unique stage set-up. As if to say just her alone wont keep people entertained.
LMAO @ all the comments about her outfit. so guys…how do you think the performance will be?? lol
Hmmm…we’ll see how this goes. I tend to cringe when she sings live.

Why in the world are you hanging out/talking to unemployed/ghetto/uneducated people and if you are, why in the world are you talking about pop stars and not showing them how to NOT be unemployed/ghetto/uneducated.
You either have more in common with them than you think or you’re just using hyperbole to draw attention to yourself.
And the “fat/dark” thing must be remnants of colonialism or something. I hope you don’t talk like that in real life.
Damn I’m lovin the fit, the smile, thehair, the face, the body, this is definition of a superstar, commands attention, even the ones who don’t like her are like dying to have an argument like their really going to change her fans minds about liking her!! They must love to taste your name in their mouths. Say it loud RIHANNA LOL
lmao at one of the comments
why are you tlakin lyk u know rihanna? everyone is entitled to their damn opinion jeez wats wrong wi y’all
it ain like anyone tellin lies she cant sing FULL STOP
talkin*
Ms. RiRi does no wrong, you gotta love her, and I agree she does have swagger for days and days. She looks like “what what” haha!!
@24..
Can we say HIPPOCRATE! “Haters are in here begging for attention, wanting to bring up *you know who*” Ummmm, clearly you do the same thing in *you know who’s* post so don’t give me that.
And ROTGDFLMAO! Rihanna Iconic? I’m not arguing with you about the fierce part because that is an option to be an opinion. But ICONIC? You obviously have not a damn clue what that word even means. In years to come, what about Rihanna will people remember? That she can dress? No. There will be others than can dress and will be able to sing. Do you all notice that the only thing you look forward to about Rihanna is her outfits? Say her stylist dies, what will happen then? Oh, her career will be sailing down the tubes. Beauty doesn’t last forever….in other words…..Rihanna will not last forever.
What a bad bish heeehee
@30
you sound so stupid. “in the white man world she wins??” wtf does that mean??
anyway, i don’t want the girl to die, just leave the singing to the real singers. she’s should just model, i think that is her true nitch. i mean, why be a singer when no one ever talks about your vocals, but you can get thousands of compliments on your outfit alone?? she would shut it down in the model world…the music world?? no
Cracking up @ #30. I bet he-she stay licking the Rhianna posters that taped to her basement bedroom walls. LMAO.
@ 30
jus stop it please!!
is rihanna your family or something..really??
Watch the people yawn and text in the audience while Rihanna perfoms.
OKAY, CHILREN, YES WE ALL KNOW RIHANNA MAKES SOME OF THESE FOLKS JUMP OUTTA WINDOWS, LOSE THEIR MINDS, BREAK OUT IN SWEATS. WHAT A SHAME
SHE LOOKS GREAT, MORE THAN LIKELY SHE WILL BE A FASHION ICON LIKE IT OR NOT, GUCCI AD CAMPAGIN FOR HOLIDAY 08 AT 20 IS NO JOKE
BE NICE NOW, IF IT WERE YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST YOU WOULD SWEAR UP AND DOWN THAT THEY ARE THE BADDEST IN THE GAME EVEN THOUGH THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS FLIPPED THE CHANNEL TO
RIHANNATV. LOL
lol@ 45
I AM SO TIRED OF SEEING THIS CHICK ON THIS SITE..ANGEL THERE ARE OTHER ARTIST OUT THERE.
beyonce stans are a mess, posting under different usernames over and over again to diss rihanna, jealous people
@35
i’ m jst stating the fact and if you got offended weel i don’ t apologize, Truth is even if rihanna get mariah’ s carey voice and janet’ s dance move, You people will always have something to criticize, especially the ghetto dark skin ugly baby mamas that always worship beyonce, I been to bey’ s concert i love her just as the next person but you should see her stans or look in the mirror it’ s laughable to see the fattest chick screaming for bey, They want to be her so any “threat” is considered as the enemy
Again just being honest
@ 25 I NEVER SAID BEYONC’E NAME UNTIL NOW… AND PEOPLE DO MENTION HOW WELL BEYONCE SINGS WHEN SHE DOES “IF I WERE A BOY” AND WHEN SHE DOES “SINGLE LADIES THATS WHEN THEY FOCUS MORE ON HER DANCING…LOL! YOUR JUST MAD BECAUSE RIHANNA HAS NO REAL TALENT! SHE ONLY LOOKS GOOD!!!! AND YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE.. AND I KNOW YA’LL ARE GETTING TIERD OF THE BEE VS. RIHANNA BATTLES..BUT BEYONCE IS THE HOTTEST CHICK MIN THE GAME…SHE WILL DEBUT AT NUMBER ONE NEXT WEEK WITH SELLS OVER 500,000 GOLD IN A WEEK SO GET REAL BEYONCE IS STILL THE QUEEN…HATE IT OR LOVE IT! AND LIKE I SAID I GIVE RIHANNA ANOTHER 2 YEARS IN THE GAME!.. SHE HAS NO TALENT… BESIDES WEARING WHAT HER STYLIST SAYS AND YOU ALL KNOW IM RIGHT!
MSZ. FENTY IS LOOKIN’ FLY.
I STILL DON’T GIVE 2 SHITTS ‘BOUT HER.
NOTICE HOW PEOPE ARE LIKE ohh she looks fiece, she looks this she looks that”.
UMM THIS IS A REHEARSEL
YET NO ONE IS COMMENTING ON HOW THE PERFORMANCE WILL BE
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HHMMMMMM.
@ 50 you make me laugh seriously…what is with this “ghetto dark skin ugly” business???
does it mattter if they got dark skin or if there ugly even,wat does that have to do with anything? im just sayin
I love rihanna topics, you just know the drama is coming,,..I really don’t think this topic is about whether or not she can sing. for all of you who don’t think she can sing, you sure know a helluva alot about her. and it seems you are within the first 50 posts or so complaining about her, yall are in here harder than her fans
you want to know what i think? well I’ll tell you whether you want to hear it or not. a lot of you all really have a problem with stan wars not star wars but stan wars lol youl all don’t hate riri you just hate her stans, and vise versa. you all just playing tit for tat with what goes on when your favorite artist gets clowned. i think its really silly and immature because when you dislike someone you don’t run inot their topic lol
all of you guys need to get a life if this young woman drives you to be so negative and petty, but whateve.
I like rihanna and i will be watching sunday. i think she’s a fly chick and definitely the hottest person out there in today’s music industry. every one gets their day in the sun, some people just don’t know when its time to walk off into the sunset lol
for rihanna the sun is rising on her, for some others it is setting very quickly and apparently the stans feel the heat! lol
rihanna looking great, that’s my girl luv her
she is a pretty young woman and she has presence what’s not to like… and yes this is her time right now she is definately shining….
#30 wow.. just wow…
get it rihanna!!!she looks so pretty!
love the b/w photo and the last one….
Well I’ll be damned, ya’ll ready to box up in here, huh? My name is bennet and i ain’t in it. Coming from a educated sista mind you.
Look, all I’m saying is riri looks nice and her music attracts a certain crowd. There’s enough room in the music business for everyone, so play on! I’m going to eat now..
I don’ t Know about the whole Worship Beyonce Put rihanna down,
But i do know that in my book and a lot of people Neither is hot or Talented, It all comes down to likability and personality, and in that rihanna wins me over, She look like a friend to me, Beyonce is only starting NOW to “be herself” “show who the real her is” [Her words not mine] And i don’ t buy it Either You are real or you’ re a real faker.Entertaining Is not rocket science If you can get people to like you, you can get people to swear you’ re the greatest singer they ever heard, It’ s not like beyonce or rihanna went to college and one came out stronger than the other, Regardless of who can or cannot sing they both should be treated with the same respect!
What amaze me is the same people in the same beyonce/rihanna’ s post are either praising be putting rihanna down or vice versa, It’ s unfair and it’ s Pure jealousy,and bitterness Rihanna Ciara and all other sisters should be recognized for their hustle just as much as beyonce, She is not the end or beginning of anything than perhaps her fans lives, When i was 21 I didn’t have any money, I was still living at my parents and was broke as all hell So i can give rihanna her props for being Independent, and doing her thing, I can also give beyonce her props for doing her thing 10 years in the row, That is something I could never do, I’ m not a hater or an envious Person, But if you have to be on every rihanna’ s post talking crap about how she can or cannot do something, then don’ t be surprise if you’ re never as successful as she is, Because god doesn’t like ugly and jealousy is Ugly.
@ TOYA I AGREE WITH SOME THINGS YOU SAID… BUT LIKE I SAID I GIVE RIHANNA 2 MORE YEARS IN THE GAME THATS MY OPINION… SHE HAS NO REAL TALENT… SHE JUST LOOKS GOOD AS HELL AND SAD TO SAY LOOKS FADE…..LOL! JUST KEEPIN IT REAL…JUST LIKE BEYONC’ES LOOKS WILL FADE SO WILL RIHANNA’S BUT BEYONCE WILL HAVE A VOICE TO FALL BACK ON… WHAT WILL RIHANNA HAVE… BESIDES HAIR NAILS AND CLOTHS….
