    You are clearly making Rihanna something she’s not lol.
    How old are you because you are really misinformed about what is going on.
    Kelis isn’t an attention whore like Rihanna, yet she still set trends and make better music than Robot. Rihanna came in the game rocking a bathing suit top and busted jeans, the girl never had any style. She was created by her record label to make her what she is now, a gimmick, carbon copy artist. Kelis has never sold her soul like Rihanna, nor has she tried to be something shes not. Rihanna is a fraud, stealing identities. This girl tried so hard to look like Kelis that its sickening. Now that Rihanna and her squad no longer have any ideas to swagger jack, then shes going to be DONE! That bad girl look is played out and so is Rihanna. Deal with THAT!

    @trillafood

    Oh wow I saw your comments earlier and I laughed because it was rather funny. I just assumed whoever you stan for was obviously something work discussing because you kept talking about gimmicks and talent. Then i see you stan for Kelis! Kelis????? Is this a joke? You can’t be serious. I can see the Beyonce stans having something to say but Kelis come on. I actually met her before and she is a complete bitch. I could never ever see Kelis ole bitchy ass ever being anything but a hoe that got turned into a cheating housewife. She is no better if not worse than Rihanna. Sometimes I don’t even know if Kelis sings or talks. She has no talent just like Rihanna . You should be so embarrassed by your hypocrisy. That girl can’t even sell cds and I consider her a one hit wonder. Nobody was checking for her. I can’t even name a song of hers besides Milkshake and that Bossy mess that never caught on. Girl that was epic failure on your part. F*ck Kelis and I’m glad she can’t sell no more records. That’s karma for her ass.

    @236

    LOL @ whoever name was Dollar Bill and Muffin what the hell. The names people be using on here.

  5. Sexy Azz Trey Songz

    These Rihanna posts are always funny. The haters and the stans going back and forth is the funniest thing. I don’t get why she needs haters or stans. Why are yall giving this girl the time of day? We have poor whatever her name was down there. She might be indian i forgot her name but yall know where her post is that has hardly no comments and she can sing. She probably not gone sell much either but Rihanna gets all the attention and probably gone be having so much hype it irks me. But anyways we know she can’t sing and she don’t even try no more so what is the point of arguing about it?

  6. Sexy Azz Trey Songz

    Oh yeah her name Melanie Fiona and she on the 2nd page. So go check her out instead of giving Rihanna all the attention.

    And like i said RIHANNA DON’T EVEN TRY TO SING NO MORE. SHE DON’T TRY TO IMPROVE NOTHING SO I DON’T SEE WHY YALL ARGUING. SHE ONLY WORRY ABOUT HER CLOTHES NOW. SO WHY YALL SUPPORTING THIS CHICK WHO DON’T EVEN CARE ABOUT TRYING TO PERFECT HER CRAFT?? SHE JUST GETS ON MY NERVES.

  7. THE TRUTH

    Let me come for yall! First off let’s get into this Lady Gaga is original mess. I remember on the front page of yahoo maybe a month or 2 ago they were talking about how she stole some artist Roisin Murphy’s style. Which is very similar if you ask me.

    Even though Lady Gaga is not original I do have to come for her defense because she NEVER said she was original. NEVER!! It was the fans and the media saying she is this and that when she really is not.

    Now onto Rihanna. Rihanna NEVER said she had talent. She never came out saying she was this and that and she can sing so good. So i don’t see why everybody keeps saying oh she can’t sing. She never said she could sing all that well nor did she say she was original or a Fashion Icon. I’ve seen the media call her original and a Fashion Icon. That Vouge cover she was on was saying her style was called something I don’t even remember. But we all know NONE OF THESE SINGERS ARE ORIGINAL. Not one!!! NOT RIHANNA, LADY GAGA, BEYONCE, KELIS, CIARA NONE OF THEM. We all know we can name people that they were inspired by and find the references anywhere on the web.

    And i don’t care if yall are stans for these girls. Just know if Michael Jackson wasn’t even original i don’t see how any of them are. And no he was not, you can look up Jeffrey Daniel who was doing the moonwalk way before him, Fred Astaire, James Brown, you can see MJ in all of them. SO I KNOW GOOD AND WELL NONE OF THEM ARE ORIGINAL BECAUSE THE KING WASN’T. WE ALL GET SOMETHING FROM SOMEBODY ELSE. AND UNLESS YALL ARE SOME FASHION DESIGNERS ON HERE, IM SURE YOU GET YOUR CLOTHES FROM THE SAME STORES EVERYONE ELSE DOES.

  8. afan

    I expect nothing less than Rihanna to come hard. Her pimp pr team has her looking the part whorish and it is working. This bad girl image is to the top and she is pulling it off. She is not the best singer musically, but the look and clothes will work I’m sure. I know her team, team her up with the best producers to make her songs hot and a hit. Stop saying she will flop because everyone will go and buy her music and that alone will keep her from flopping.

    @240
    Another delusional, ignorant, angry f@g lol.
    Kelis may haven’t sold millions in the U.S., but she has definitely influence this decade with her music and fashion. No other black female artist has been has more fashion driven or ahead of the game musically like Kelis. 4 critical acclaim albums, as for her hits, research it. Kelis has 13 top hit 10 songs in the UK, numerous other hits all over the world. Her vocal ability, shes no powerhouse, but uses her voice really well.
    Its obvious that you don’t know nothing about Kelis, but yet your ignorant azz is so quick to talk about her. Before talking sh!t, do your homework.
    Kelis is the baddest and Rihanna is the wannabe, generic version of Kelis.

    Live WITH IT!

  10. trillafood

    @240
    Might I add, summer 2008 when Rihanna was on Good Morning America, she said that she would love to work with Kelis.
    You think Kelis would work with a talentless, swagger jacker? Absolutely not!

    Kelis only work with the best and Rihanna is definitely not one of them! LOL LOL

  11. B FAN not B STAN

    uber late but I can’t wait for Rhianna I have all her album accept for reloaded. But damn to compare her to Obama election your delusional. I was so excited when she joined twitter than I realized the chick only tweeted once “the wait is ova” Haha no point in following her it would be like Following Brittney Spears who doesn’t tweet at all. Probably some intern. Also I love b and riri both but to say rihanna is better than beyonce you lost your effin mind. The only thing Rhianna got over bey is her style and that’s about it.

  12. lmaooo

    @trillafood

    I may be ignorant but not angry or delusional. If anybody is delusional it would have to be you who thinks that Kelis has any talent either. Don’t neither one write their own songs or do anything of substance. The Neptunes practically wrote all of Kelis’ songs and everybody writes Rihanna’s songs. I already said I don’t like the stuck up b*tch Kelis I can tolerate Rihanna but I sure as hell don’t think she has talent like I said in my other post. You focusing on Kelis’ style and haircut just like the Rihanna stans so I don’t see where you are going with this. At least I have enough sense to know that neither one has any real talent. I don’t need to reseach Kelis’ hits. I’m sure its a very short list if it even is a list.

    Your comments shows how delusional you are not me.
    “No other black female artist has been has more fashion driven or ahead of the game musically like Kelis”

    YOU MIGHT AS WELL BECOME A RIHANNA STAN.

    I hope you don’t believe what you write you are on a Rihanna post talking about her not having any talent and being a gimmick and you secretly stanning for Kelis is so laughable. They are one in the same but Rihanna sells more and is more popular.

    This site just shows how stupid all of yall are. Kelis is no better than Rihanna and I don’t see how she was so original either with her Beyonce Work It Out hair she had in Milkshake. If Rihanna wants to work with 1 hit wonder Kelis she’d be stupid. But then again it would be 2 non talented chicks teaming up. Might be Kelis’ first #1 hit ever.

    So please just stop talking to me. You act like I am saying Rihanna has talent. I’m saying neither have talent. You are obviously getting your feelings hurt while I am feeling good on this Sunday afternoon.

  13. Classy:If U Seek Amy!

    Rihanna does have talent. She can sing. She may not have a voice everyone loves (who does???), but she can sing.

  14. keishe

    I can’t wait to hear what the new single sounds like. Since everyone is making a big deal out of it.

  15. trillafood

    @249
    Laughing at your IGNORANT azz punching keys typing essays. You’re so bitter and mad on this SUNDAY EVENING lol!! Like I said earlier, if you know anything about Kelis’ music, then you would know that shes everything and more than Rihanna. You continue to prove me right…you know absolutely nothing about her.

    “The Neptunes practically wrote all of Kelis’ songs..”

    Oh pleasee! Check the credits! Kelis writes alot of her music. Rihanna couldn’t write a song if her life depended on it.

    Why would I ever want to stan for someone like Rihanna who lacks in talent, music, fashion and personality? There is nothing special about Rihanna. Only someone like you, a pitiful, ignorant loser would think Rihanna is the truth. Brainwashed by the bullsh!t on the radio lol.

    “…with her Beyonce Work It Out hair she had in Milkshake.”

    LMFAOO! Now you are truly just plain dumb if you honestly think Kelis would ever copy off of Beyonce!! Kelis been rocking her NATURAL afro since 1999, in multiple colors. While Beyonce was rocking those nappy micro braids! U better research it! Kelis is so ahead of these lame wannabe edgy girls whether she sell millions of records or not. Everything they are doing now, Kelis did it already…and better!

    Suck that sh!t up and ACCEPT it!

    POW!

  16. ife babe

    i Agree with same ol!!!
    RIHANNA starting to get on my nerves, she all ova the place but wher is the music!!
    like he said WE GET IT your a good girl gone bad! im not a hater but being real…she really took that far..real far…next thing you kno she gonna be worshiping the devil like jay z too..!!! this aint no roc nation..i’m Down with G O D!! if you cut ur hair one more time..

  17. mari

    @ trillafood put a fork in it, Kelis is done. Kelis is not even no where on the radar right now, and you’re on here going hard for her. When did Kelis inspire fashion this decade? I have never heard no one open their mouth and say that Kelis’s style inspired them. How many people you see walking around dressing like Kelis. Maybe you do, but I have yet to see it. When Kelis wore the frizzy milkshake hair, no one else was wearing it besides her. No one ran out and said let me get the Kelis. Even when she cut her hair and colored it pink, and blue and all other colors, no one took the look and ran with it. Kelis style belongs to Kelis, because ain’t no one else feeling it enough to want to rock it. Also, what did you expect rihanna to be wearing when she first came out? She was 17 and singing a reggae pop song, and if I recall in that video, she was not only rocking a tank top and baggy slacks, she was also wearing a nice little dress in the video, and she was moving her waist as well, and looking like the beautiful teenager that she was. She has grown, so her fashion taste has grown as well. Are you still wearing the same clothes you wore when you were 17? Okay then case closed.

  18. the ONE

    People don’t u realize that ntohing these “artists” do is accidental or coincidental?? Riri and GaGa and Beyonce and Taylor Swift and Ciara are all mind-controlled puppets! None of them has any personality or any ability to think for themselves. Rihanna’s eye patch and the triangle she’s dancing between and the one she danced between in the umbrella are all occult symbols and are there to show her allegiance to the rulers of the industry! Please take some time to research occult symbolism. Rihanna, I feel bad for u- JZ and them got u brainwashed and the industry done took your soul. Look at the artists I mentioned all of them have videos that show transformations and evil symbols. DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!!!

  19. lmaooo

    WTF are you talking about? You just don’t get that I don’t think neither Kelis or Rihanna have talent! Of course I hate Kelis because I met her before and like I said she was a bitch. Furthermore you lack comprehension, knowledge and overall common sense.

    Kelis is no prize she hasn’t even had a hit in 6 years. What part of that don’t you understand. You admitted yourself that she is no powerhouse. You admit that she has no talent.

    Its good you know that Rihanna has no talent. Now all I’m trying to get you to understand that Kelis don’t have any either. Who knew she was out in ’99?? Just goes to show you that she is a nobody and will continue to be one. I still associate that hairstyle with Beyonce because #1 she is still making hits and #2 people actually remember her. Nobody remembers any of Kelis hairstyles she will continue to be overlooked because she aint about nothing. Continue to be mad and stan for that $2 hoe Kelis.

    Oh and she looked like she dyed her hair with kool-aid with all them colors lol

  20. lmaooo

    Oh yeah that was to Trillafool dumb ass!

  22. msblknasty1

  23. Still maintaining

    I guess

  24. Classy:If U Seek Amy!

    @Mari

    Damn. Way to shut it down! lol. I love the “Kelis’ style belongs to Kelis b/c ain’t nobody else feelin it enough to rock it”. That line is so true it hurts!

  25. Tisha

    She is a fake lady gaga

  26. beauty101

    b’cuz of the whole feb thing we didn’t get our summer song. so i kno’ this album b kicking rocks.

  27. BRAINWASHED? I THINK SO....

    I’m very shocked and appalled that anyone would say that this devil worshippers “great comeback” is as big of a deal as Obama’s election. R u guys serious? Or maybe you all are just brainwashed by this music industry. This is ridicoulous that this girls horrible job of singing would be put in the same category as a man of color being put in the white house. I just hope it is the fact that you all are young and easly influenced or in a stage that you will grow out of this stupidity( and if so you’re parents need to get to you asap) and how come every time someone speaks the truth, which is that she looks a mess and looks nasty it’s considered hating? She looks like a dirty prostitute honestly. This is not and will never be as big of a deal as the day a black man became president. I actually cried when that happened, I will forget this in a week.

  28. Fashionista

    @ 262.

    Rihanna and Lady Gaga are nothing alike. Plus Rihanna was here first. And Lady Gaga is a fake Lady Gaga. We all know what she used to look like.

  29. Fashionista

    Mark my words. Tuesday this site is gonna go into overload and probably shut down. Look at how many comments Rihanna has been getting and the song hasn’t even been released yet. The haters will flock so fast to her post to hear her song they are just as excited if not more than the stans. I can’t wait. HistoRIH in the making!!!

  30. lawgirl

    LMAO @ TERRANCE

    Beyonce is getting pimped and played to def.The sad part about it she does not care as long as she can pop that coochie and get paid for it.

    Speak bro man!!! The truth. lol

  31. neon

    so…
    about kelis- it’s true that she’s not very popular (why does that matter anyway? coldplay is a more mainstream band than radiohead but they are nowhere near radiohead when it comes to talent) and i don’t think people consciously jack her style BUT she has come out with certain things before everyone else. she has done a few of riri’s haircuts b4 riri had them and she rocked them well. she also wore harem pants b4 everyone else caught on. she was doing the edgy look b4 riri. also she isn’t running a gimmick.

    lady gaga- you can’t compare pre-lady gaga to pre-rihanna. i saw a vid of her performing and she dyed her hair black, wore black etc. she was also very sexual (she was known as a ho in my school- i’m from nyc). rihanna wore sunshine colors and looked like a sweet girl. i’m all for evolution but you have to maintain the essence of who you are- gaga did that, riri didn’t. pink, for instance, maintained her essence even though she switched genres. & don’t give me the “she was 17″ bs b/c it took one album for a complete transformation. you HAVE to be a poser to like this girl. i don’t understand how anyone who is real could care for her when she’s such a try-hard

  32. 1*STEP*AHEAD

    LMAO @ THE ONE KELIS STAN ON HERE! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO GO HARD FOR SOMEONE WHO HASN’T HAD A HIT IN ALMOST 7 YEARS! KELIS IS ONLY GOOD FOR MAKING SEX TAPES, POPPING OUT BABIES, AND BEGGING FOR MONEY. SHE INSPIRES NO ONE WITH HER TERRIBLE STYLE AND SHE SOUNDS LIKE A MAN. HAVE A SEAT.

    TEAM RIH RIH ALL DAY!

  33. 5

    When Rihanna gets another #1 single I’ll change my name from “5″ to “6″ in her honor. Btw she looks hot!

  34. DJ DAVE

    I have to agree with the person that said they met Kelis and she is a b*tch. That is absolutely true. She has the worst attitude. It’s actually her bad attitude that kept her from being more successful. You would not defend her if you knew the kind of person she is. That’s why I always compliment Rihanna. She is very down to earth and cool. Don’t let the bad girl look fool you. She is very sweet.

  35. QUINCY

    SHE IS VERY SEXY
    CHRIS BETTER BE HITTING THAT CORRECTLY

  36. missjordan

    I don’t like her hair blonde. I prefer it black but she is still a gorgeous girl. I don’t know why others are saying she can’t sing. I love her voice. It’s unique and it fits the kind of music she does. She’s not a R & B diva so she doesn’t have to be a powerhouse singer. I like Rihanna. I like her music first and foremost. I also like her style. Lots of other singers don’t dance or write so I don’t get why Rihanna has to do those things for you to give her credit. As long as she sings the songs her fans will buy them. End of.

  37. JACKTHERIPPER

    I hope this song is hot. I do plan on buying rihanna & chris browns cd cuz they release around the same time.

  38. Misssixty

    @ Milly
    And your another dumb one. YOU DO NOT KNOW THESE PEOPLE. I do not see “love” when I see “Hov lookin into Rihanna’s eyes” I see the same smile he gives Kanye ,. Ty-Ty, etc.,etc.,
    The Eff outta here!
    If he “loved” her he would BE WITH HER! He is a MULTIMILLIONARE he does not need to depend on anyone else’s earnnings!
    Where do you idiots come from?
    I see countless pictured of Beyonce and Jay-Z together, he has been at the majority of her concerts, but for some reason its more salacious to put up pics of him being within an foot of Rihanna in publi c view because it generates more interest.
    If you think about it (assuming you have the capacity)
    Hov has been secretive with the women he;s serious with. Rosario Dawson, and that stylist (who Song Cry was supposed to be about) Aaliyah *allegedy*were reportedly serious long-term relationships, and you NEVER saw him being public with them. SO why in god’s green earth would he be ” publicly crazy in love” for rihanna if he has a proven history of being subtle with his long-term girlfriends?
    That would make Rihanna nothing more than a sperm bucket,. You morons are reducing her to a meritless whore, and you’re so busy trying to discredit Beyonce you dont even realize how much you are degrading you’re own idol!
    GET A LIFE-do you two have symbiotic orgasims?
    Why do you care who that girl screws, and why are you so excited about it?

  39. pinkgirly

    Jay Z is turning her and Beyonce out. SAD SAD SAD…turned them into some straight hoodrats!

  40. TYRA IS A LIAR!!

    RIHANNA DOESN’T WANT JAY-Z’S FUGLY A$$ LIKE THAT! GIVE ME A BREAK. SHE DATES GOOD LOOKING GUYS LIKE CHRIS BROWN & LEONARDO DICAPRIO.

  41. No Shade

    @ Misssixty

    Its a whole load of rubbish, Aaliyah and jay z wer gud friends. She was dating damon dash and they wer plannin 2 gt married b4 she died. Personally i dnt feel he cared about her as much as she did him, cuz i didnt take him long 2 move on after her death.

  42. bored

    More Jay-Z inspired stuff, video is one thing, live is another, or should I say with Rihanna lip syncing is another with her. She’s coming GOTHIC for her stans…

  43. Sierra

    Did she fire her hair stylist? because her hair has been awful for about 6 months. Yikes!!!

  44. Kris in Dallas

    Didn’t realize her nose is so wide.. How’d I miss that all these years?! Ahh well.. She dosen’t excite me.. Miss the island girl in her

  45. trillafood

    @259
    Kelis owns your mind and thats why you so mad at her. Kelis is better than Beyonce and Rihanna!
    Never had a hit in 6 years? Bossy went 2x platinum in 2006. Thats 3 years ago dummy! (Look it up on RIAA.com)

    Kelis isn’t a powerhouse VOCALIST, but yet gets praised for her voice by Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly and all the popular music magazines all over the world. Just because shes not singing like Beyonce, Mariah and etc doesn’t make her talentless. Only a ignorant person like yourself would think that.

    Rihanna, Beyonce, Keyshia Cole, Keri Hilson & etc all copies Kelis’ style. Rihanna wants to be like Kelis and thats why she tries so hard to look like her and Beyonce nappy lacefront trying to do music like her.

    Its obvious that you’re too young to know anything if you honestly think Kelis would ever copy Beyonce and to think no one knows Kelis. Thats the funniest thing ever! Beyonce is another artist with a lack of creativity…a robot. Artist like Kelis is anticipated and with music that is timeless. Not over hyped like Beyonce and Rihanna music which is lukewarm compared to Kelis’ masterpiece, albums. I’m happy Kelis fukked up ur life, shes enjoying hers why you mad and still upset because she treated u like shit when you met her lol! She did well!

  46. Furious Styles

    LMAO @ TRILLA

    LMAO @ “BACK in 2006 Kelis had a HIT”

    Rihanna is what Kelis NEVER WAS.

    The only person we can compare Kelis to is Teyana Taylor….EXACTLY!

    Rihanna is ORIGINAL.

    Her Voice and her STYLE.

    STOP HATING AND TAKE NOTES!

  47. The Wayno Show

    Love her! I know that the single and video will be amazing!

  48. s

    she will get overshadowed by queen bey and lady gaga on the 23rd.

    this chick has ZERO talent.

  49. bored

    Rihanna Original, now that’s news to me!

  50. Paradise Janee'

    I FREAKIN LOVE HER. DO YA THANG RIH RIH!!!!!!

  51. trillafood

    @286
    End your life because you sound stupid.

    Kelis would never want to be like Rihanna. A hoe thats talentless, who got her ass dragged and doesn’t have a link of talent in her system. More so Rihanna wants to be like Kelis.

    Rihanna will always be below Kelis don’t matter how much records she sold and thats fact!

  52. lovelylady81- dont hate me

    oh, i have been waiting for this moment. its aboyt damn time this girl got a job! she been posing for the camera too damn long. she can barley sing and cant dance worth a S**T. someone please tell me why this girl is famous? –aside from getting her tail whooped. i know this will piss some ppl off. but am i the only one who sees that she dresses like a fool in the closet with no lights? i just dont see how she is representin’ for strong ladies across the world. –just my opinion

  53. mari

    Who feels the need to argue about old as Kelis.Are we that in need off new talent.

  54. Daniel Branch

    This old hoodrat whore. I wish she would just get on a broom and fly away. Gosh Im so tired of her and her antics. She is talentless and this coming from someone who used to be a fan of her. I guess im a sucker for pretty girls. But this chick need to gone somewhere…….. What was Jay-z thinking.??? At least Teairra Mari’ could sing and somewhat dance. Rihanna…….yeah what can she do????

  55. poboi

    Is Rih okay and ready to release a single/album? I don’t think she’s mentally ready.

  56. MY LOVE AUDEN

    All the best Ri Ri, this is it! I cannot wait 4 your album to drop I will catch it b 4 it falls. Big sales 4 u. Go on break records. Much love. Sweet Caribbean Woman.

  57. Ilona

    Im neither here nor there with Rihanna ,I think she is very pretty girl who got lucky with an amazing stylist and although she lacks any real stage presence [I seen her live once first once] although she is no powerhouse, she does know how to make good songs that people of all ages /races seem to love. With that being said I understand that all the Rihanna fans want to defend her etc theres nothing wrong with that then they call everyone else who doesnt like her a ‘hater’ but in the same sentance they will put down other singers like Beyonce or Lady Gaga etc. Can someone please explain where the logic is in that? Doesnt that make them ‘haters’ as well?

  58. NzingahMorena

    I wonder what the song will be about

  59. MY LOVE AUDEN

    I CANNOT WAIT
