Rihanna just performed Russian Roulette at the X Factor and truthfully speaking, she was good!
Her voice is much better now! Alicia Keys was amazing!
i also watched her on x factor. i think she was shit! but she did look great tho alicia keys performance was much better.
Umm..yeah idk maybe we heard 2 diff performances becuase she was just alright. She still struggles on some notes while performing this song live everytime! Which is crazy to me. Thats how I know the studio is her bestfriend. She sounds good on the studio version..but live not so much! Reality is she is just not that great of a performer..at ALL or singer. Stop making excuses for her!
I know Rih Rih probably drove Janet Jackson crazy…….. when she was making Rated R…… calling Janet every five minutes……. and knocking on her door……… and asking Janet can she sample and bite her brother Michael`s songs and style………. and copy Thriller by having cokehead Slash play a rock solo and try to copy Beat It…….Until Janet finally told her….I`m getting tired of ya`ll niggaz jocking my brother`s style ! …….. If you had any real talent you would`nt have to bite Mike ! ……….You could stand on your own like he did !
i think that security for rihanna is tapping her, he always has a weird expression on his face, like he knows something no1 else does
I HEARD RIHANNA’S ALBUM FLOPPED. CAME IN NUMBER 3 THIS WEEK BEHIND LADY GAGA AND SUSAN BOYLE. WOW. SHE REALLY DOES SUCK. SUSAN BOYLE SOLD 410,000. GOOD FOR HER. HOW MANY DID RIHANNA SELL? I MEAN MY GIRL BEYONCE SOLD 482,000 HER FIRST WEEK. DID RIHANNA BEAT THAT?????
RIHANNA STILL DOESNT HAVE A NUMBER 1 ALBUM. 4 ALBUMS YET NONE HAVE WENT NUMBER 1.
MY GIRL BEY HAS 3 ALBUMS ALL WENT NUMBER 1
Too bad Rihanna will noy have the no. 1 album out this week, Susan Boyle will knock everyone out the box with 600k
Rihanna NEVER had a #1 Album and yet she still goes 4x platinum! That’s the power of Rihanna!
Oh and #3 in the country doesn’t sound like a flop to me! Some of your favorites can’t even make it to the top 10. Haters stop trying so hard! You sound foolish!
HOW CAN RIHANNA BE A FLOP WHEN SHE IS #1 IN MULTIPLE COUNTRIES AND IN THE TOP 5 IN MULTIPLE OTHER COUNTRIES????????????? SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO “BEAT” BEYONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEYONCE IS BEYONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIHANNA IS NOT COMPETING WITH HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER A DECADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE STARTED OFF IN A WELL KNOWN GROUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HAD THE ADVANTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIHANNA WAS AN UNKNOWN THAT CAME FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIHANNA IS STILL ONE OF THE BIGGEST STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM AND MADE IT TO THE TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL BY HERSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS DOING GREAT FOR HERSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP TRYING TO DIMINISH HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS NOT A FLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO CARES ABOUT SUSAN BOYLE??????????????????? I CARE ABOUT MY OWN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP THROWING MY BLACK PEOPLE UNDER THE BUS TO MAKE WHITE ARTISTS LOOK GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BLACK ARTISTS ARE GREAT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEYONCE AND RIHANNA CAN BOTH BE SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE ONE OR THE OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M HAPPY WHEN BLACK WOMEN ARE ON TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP HATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That red outfit is soooooo tacky! She looks like a streetwalker. Not the business. Sorry Rihanna this one was a miss for me.
SHOW ME A STREETWALKER THAT CAN AFFORD ANYTHING SHE IS WEARING. RIHANNA DOESN’T DRESS FOR FEMALES OR THESE FRUITY A$$ FAIRY DUDES THAT COME ON HERE EITHER. SHE IS A HOT SEXY WOMAN AND SHE LOOKS DAMN GOOD. ALWAYS SOMEBODY THAT DOESN’T LOOK HALF AS GOOD AS SHE DOES THAT GOT SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY. GTFOHWTBS!
RIHANNA’S ALBUM IS A FLOP. ALL HER STANS THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA GO TO NUMBER 1 AND EVEN LADY GAGA’S RE-RELEASE BEAT HER OUT.
RIHANNA’S ALBUM DID NOT GO NUMBER 1 BECAUSE SHE IS A GMMICK. JUST LIKE 50 CENT. AND NOW LOOK WHERE HE IS. HE SOLD WHAT 150,000 COPIES HIS FIRST WEEK. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT 50 CENT IS A BETTER BUSINESS MAN AND HAS SOLD WAYYYYYY MORE RECORDS THAN RIHANNA.
RIHANNA IS A NO TALENT GIMMICK. HER WALKING UP AND DOWN THE STREET IN HER G STRING WITH HER NIPPLES SHOWING, TALKING ABOUT HER BEATING, STILL COULDNT GET HER A NUMBER 1 RECORD. HOW LAME IS THAT
YES RIHANNA IS NO BEYONCE. BEYONCE FANS AND STANS GO AND BUY HER MUSIC HER DVD S AND MOVIES. BEYONCE TALENT SELLS ITS SELF.
RIHANNA STANS WERE WRONG WRONG WRONGL. RUSSIAN RULLETE IS A FLOP ON THE CHARTS AND HER ALBUM COULDNT EVEN OUT SELL LADY GAGAS RE-RELEASE AND SUSAN BOYLE DESPITE ALLLLLLL HER PUBLICITY
@ RIHANNA = QUEEN OF THE DECADE
PLEASE DONT PUT BEYONCE AND RIHANNA IN THE SAME SENTENCE AND SAY THEY ARE BOTH SUCCESSFUL. WHE RIHANNA HAS 4 NUMBER 1 ALBUMS AND HAS 11 GRAMMY’S AND SINGS FOR PRESIDENTS AND THE OSCARS, THEN YOU CAN COMPARE THEM. RIHANNA IS NO WHERE NEAR EVEN KIND OF NEAR BEYONCE’S LEVEL.
BEYONCE”S VOICE, DANCING AND PERFORMANCE MAKES HER THE BEST PERFORMER AND GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF THIS DECADE. RIHANNA DOESNT DANCE AND CAN BARLEY HOLD A NOTE. SHE MODELS ON STAGE AND SINGS. HER STANS CALL THAT TALENT. SHE DOESNT WIRTE HER MUSIC AND THAT IS WELL KNOWN….
RIHANNAS ALBUM IS A FLOP AND HER STANS NEED TO ADMITT IS.. BECUASE IF BEYONCE ALBUM HAD ONLY SOLD 200,000 COPIES, YALL WOULD BE CALLIN HER ALL KIND OF NAMES. BUT BEYONCE SOLD DOUBLE RIHANNA IN HER FIRST WEEK. FACE IT. RIHANNA SUCKS..
why are you all going crazy all rihanna. to be fair rihanna stans her album is not number anywhere yet. subo or whatever her name is number one. i was watching the news and subo sold more than top five put together. and again to be fair, beyonce was named the world grestest pop star in the uk, she bet madonna. and she won 11 grammys this does not include destiny child. and she told 100 million records world wide (again not including destiny child) whereas rihanna only sold 23. so no way can she be compared to rihanna. there are other artist she can be compared to.
ANYWAYS BEYONCE, RIHANNA OR ANY OTHER POP STAR DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU LOT. SO WHY ARE YOU LOT FIGHTING OVER THEM? AS LONG AS THEY GET PAID, THEY ARE HAPPY.
If I was the Jackson Family I would be extremely shocked and offended that this no-talent , half-singing, can`t dance chick Rihanna , would have the nerve to try and copy and bite , Michael Jackson `s great original masterpiece Thriller, She tried to bite and make another Thriller ! lmao ! by having a coked up, doped up Slash try to bite Michael`s Beat It. Mike did it first , he is the originator, and the master. Rihanna is a flea compared to Michael`s talent and record sales !
The dress and the shoes are BANANAS !!!!!!
She is FLAWLESS !!!!!!!
136 @, I co-sign, Rihanna has been exposed as a fake and a phony. They say that what you do in the dark comes out in the light . Rated R is a sloppy messy attempt by Rihanna to steal and copy THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME MICHAEL JACKSON`S THRILLER. Well, Rih Rih your head might be souped up because your fans who are fashion designer wannabes think you look cute in hooker outfits but your ass don`t have the singing,dancing, or songwriting skillz to touch MJ.
I may not be the biggest Rhi fan but I admit her performance last nite on x factor was decent…
But i was rite about her flopping. Rated R debuted at #16 over here in the UK – 2 places lower than mid week estimates…
oh, well.
She still got one album left on this contract with DJ anyway… maybe that one will do better…
Peace.
Funny how all of a sudden, rihanna stans want to STOP comparing beyonce and rihanna because they know for a fact that Beyonce is EVIDENTLY THE BETTER OF THE TWO
hell to the naw, it aint over yet….lmfao
WHERE IS RIHANNA ON THE CHARTS? STANS?? ANSWER ME?? WHERE IS YOUR GOD?
i thought she was gonna ‘break records’ with this album, well where the f*ck is she? i really would LOVE TO KNOW!
Beyonce was crowned WORLD’S GREATEST SUPERSTAR while rihanna is struggling, for the 4TH time for the #1 spot….HILARIOUS!
this is pure comedy……when your idol manages to achieve at least A QUARTER of what Beyonce has achieved THIS YEAR ALONE, then you can reply me…till then, looool, keep buying 10 copies of the wack 99 cents album….
*dead* @ ”Some of your favorites can’t even make it to the top 10”
UHM, actually our favourite (at least my favourite) has 3 #1 albums, 5 #1 singles and about 20 top 10 singles…..
oops, where you trying to make a point? lmao……
@kim
co-sign
i couldn’t have said it better myself lol
@Kim
LMBO! Awww…don’t be so mean…
But seriously, I heart Bey myself, and your ever so right. Just some time ago I was on a Rihanna post, and her fans were bragging about how she was going to blow Bey out the water, and that this was going to be her best album to date. But since the result is otherwise, they want to stop comparing. Why the sudden change of heart?
Don’t get it twisted, I use to adore Rihanna before her GGGB album. Music of the Sun, and A Girl Like Me will always be apart of my cd collection. But lets be real, the girl has changed for the worst. The music she put out back then was so colorful, and full of life, but now everything is watered down, and gimmicky and its becoming quite obvious. If she comes out with an album like those she made before she dropped her roots, then I will be the first one at the video store, but until then all I can do is change the station when I here her song.
PEACE….
if i had to sit here n list everything beyonce has accomplished n why she is superior in every way to this no talent, i will b HERE ALL DAY lol!
i jus dont have time for that tho
Calling all rihanna stans.. where are you????
lets all sit and talk about why Rihanna’s first single and her album have flopped. Lets all sit and talk about why yall keep saying she is better than Beyonce, but can barley sell a record given all the publicity.
i remember the rihanna stans saying that russian rullete was epic. then where is it on the charts. How come she couldnt even out sell lady gaga’s re-release.
Where are the rihanna stans. come and talk about her fashion because that is truley the only thing she has going for her. oh yeah and 5 #1′s right???
@rated r is a flop. How could her first single flop, when it was #1 on I tunes, and a top ten hit in the U.S. Making it the 12th top ten of her career. She is still within the top ten of album sales, so that is doing pretty good if you ask me.
@145…Umm no actually thats not pretty good. You don’t have to sell big numbers to make it in the top ten at all. I swear some of you fans are making excuses and are being hypocrites! I hate to bring her up but if B debuted at the number Rihanna did for first week album sales ya’ll would be goin in…but because it’s your precious Rihanna it’s ok and “pretty good”. Yeah ok.
#Mari
Rihanna stans need to start admitting that her album flopped. Even Def Jam and Billboard are saying that her album is underperforming and not meeting expectations. She DIDNT EVEN BEAT OUT LADY GAGA’S RE-RELEASE despite all the publicity. how pathetic is that.i mean beyonce sold twice as much as rihanna at the peak of a recession. if B debuted with 200,000 songs and no lead single, yall would be callin her all kinds of name. russian rullette was never number 1 on itunes. It got up to number 3 or 4 and then fell off the chart. now on billboard it is number 20 or something. Get the F outta here. that album and single sound like a flop to me
Rihanna thinks every woman should have nude photos taken of herself because, as she puts it, “In five years my body might not look like this!” Yeah, but then the pics end up in the wrong hands and Vanessa Hudgens can tell you the rest. (PopEater)
Quoted by the horse’s mouth herself
@147 its not flopping. Wait for when its all said and done, and we’ll see if it flopped. Only 1 week on the charts. Only one place for this album to go and that is up. Why are you all always bringing up beyonce? We are not discussing her. And i didn’t address her in my post. And for the record, not everyone who is a rihanna fan hates beyonce. In my case, I don’t care what beyonce is doing, because I am only interested in rihanna. So Beyonce is irrelevant to my post. When did def jam say her album is underperforming? Did you make that up. You all need to realize that these are just predictions. Predictions can be wrong sometimes. no one ever knows for sure.
Gaga only outsold Rih by about 20k, so I don’t see how Rated R is a flop. 180k sold and great reviews is quite a success for someone who just released a single and video a few weeks before the cd dropped.
The Beyonce stans can just stop.
Regardless of first week sales, Rated R is head and shoulders better than Sasha Fierce, and while Bey posted very respectable opening numbers…she didn’t like, break any records or anything. There are females with bigger first week sales than Bey too (Taylot Swify, Britney, Alicia Keys…), that doesn’t make Bey a failure or necessarily mean that the said artists cds are better (even though they are, lol).
@149 and 150
Please Sasha Feirce album shits on Rated Flop thats why Beyonce sold 482,000 her first week. Her first single went number #1. It prodused the biggest song of 2009. Get the fuck out of here trying to defend Rihanna wack ass album that didnt sell. How did Gagas re release out sell her?? thats because Rihanna is a no talent Gimmick .
Sasha Feirce album was fire and Rated Flop is a flop on the charts. Why dont you rihanna stans go on itunes to buy some albums and boost her sales. loosers. plea se stans bow down to the queen Bey.. she is shittin on Rihanna. So She better step it up with her no singing, no talented ass who is floppin on the charts.
For all the Rihanna stans who think Rihanna is better than Beyonce , all I got to say is
“men lie women lie, number dont.” hahahahahahahahahahahahah
Rated Flop selling 180,000 are her numbers kids. 482,000 (Beyonce) vs 180,000 (Rihanna)
3 #1 albums for Bey 0 #1 albums for Rihanna
11 Grammys for Bey, 1 Grammy for Rihanna
shall I go on. Let me remind the haters once more, RIHANNA ONLY SOLD 180,000 RECORDS WITH HER “POPULARITY” WITH ALL THOSE INTERVIEWS, PUBLICITY STUNTS, WALKIN AROUND NAKED, WITH ALL THE HYPE, ALL THE BEYONCE BASHING ALL THE LAME COMPARISONS, RIHANNA DID NOT LIVE UP TO THE HYPSE. SHE IS NOT SELLING RECORDS… PEOPLE DONT CARE FOR HER MUSIC THESE DAYS…
I strongly suggest you go to sugarloves. c o m , where i have met many single sugar beauties and rich men, who love chatting sports vedios and nice music online .. .
I love the gold ! ! ! Very nice ! ! !
her stylist needs an award for keeping her relevant!
@ RATED R IS A FLOP!!! HA HA RIHANNA STANS
standing ovation gyal!!!!!!
u bes tell these idiots the TRUTH!
beyonce has proven to be 100000000000% better than rihanna
i kept tellin rihanna stans 2 stop embarassing themselves when they left comments like
‘rihanna is gonna take beyonce’s crown…her time is up’
‘rated r is gonna break records’
‘she’s gonna have the best album of the year’
‘beyonce is old, rihanna is better and has more talent’
‘rihanna is the bigger star in europe’ etc
And now look what’s happened! no numba 1 album or single despite the fact the album is just $0.99….that’s absolutely shameful!
karma is such a f*cking bitch. also, the supposedly artist that ‘no one is checking for’ is winning prestigious awards while the supposedly ‘r&b queen’ is struggling 2 sell.
I also luv how rihanna stans want 2 stop comparing both. that’s funny cuz just 2 weeks ago, u were all slyly talking bad bout beyonce but now rihanna has disgraced u all, u want 2 stop comparing…nice try
Now who’s time is up? I’ll leave u to guess……
Beyonce= World’s Greatest Popstar….:)
@shanelle, and with all of what you are saying, rihanna was the artist with the most #1 hits this decade, BEFORE beyonce, so what does that tell you, as great as beyonce is, she is now tied with Rihanna, who you all claim is soo untalented, and rihanna got that accolade first. Go check your numbers again boo, because rihanna is now outselling Lady Gaga, something you all claim would never happen. Remember Bey been in the game 12 years Rihanna 4, and she is tied with Bey. That says alot. Maybe by the time rihanna gets to 12 years in the game she will have all those numbers you posted about bey and more. Bey had her populartity in the girl group to thank for her break out solo success. Rihanna did it from scratch, and now there is only two names that always come up in the same sentence, even though you all hate to admit it. Beyonce and Rihanna. Accept it cause you know its true. LMAO.
Maybe by the time rihanna gets to 12 years in the game she will have all those numbers you posted about bey and more
*********************************************************************************************
LMMMMMMAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
omd, u really fink she’s going to last 12 years????????????????
LLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
that was funny! i hope u were actually joking!
nd obviously she’s starting 2 outsell Gaga, i mean her album is $0.99 nd u stans pledged to buy at least 10 copies each so yea….Beyonce on the otherhand didnt hav go thru desperate measures nd she still did much betta than ur idol is doing now…
DC has nufing 2 do wiv Beyonce’s popularity, her talent is what has kept her this long in the industry and given her such a large fanbase. Kelly and Michelle (luv them!) didnt have the ‘it’ factor which is y they aren’t as successful as she is…face is, Beyonce has talent for days….nd majority of the population know it, hence her WORLD’S GREATEST POPSTAR title.
Fair enuff, they both have the most #1 hits this decade but that’s about where the comparisons end.
”3 #1 albums for Bey 0 #1 albums for Rihanna
11 Grammys for Bey, 1 Grammy for Rihanna”
Beyonce= 6 BETs, Rihanna= TWO
Beyonce= 16 MTV awards, Rihanna= five!
Beyonce= 5 MOBOs, Rihanna= two etc…….Beyonce is the Queen!
Nuff said…..
The onl amo that rihanna stans have is that Rihanna have 5 #1 records. That is her only accolate, where as I can go on for hours and hours with all of Beyonce’s accolates. Lets not forget, Beyonce has 5 #1 also since 2003, Rihanna 5 #1′s since 2005. Beyonce has 3 albums, Rihanna 4. In Beyonce 3 albums, she has sold 30 million records. With Rihanna 4 she has sold 12 million.
Rihanna’s 4th solo album sold 181,000 copies its first week. 1 year prior, Beyonce sold 482,000 when people are “supposedly tired of her”. Beyonce out sells Rihanna anyday of the week. This is nothing new. It took Rihanna 3 albums and a hair cut just to get successful. I mean Lady Gaga has had just as much success if not more in only 1 album.
Rihanna stans are lame and your girl is a flop. Go by her album and singles so she can stop flopping on the charts.
And Rihanna stans need to quit talkin about how Beyonce had an upper edge becuase she had DC. If that was the case, then kelly and Michelle would be selling records. If that were so true, than Nicole Scherzinger wouldnt have flopped when she went solo from the pussy cat dolls. Yall sound so damn dumb. rihanna got popular after she cut her hair and got a new stylist. Her first 2 albums barely did anything for her. I mean a Keyes blew uop after her first record, so how come rihanna didnt??? Maybe that will give you the answer as to qhy her album flopped on the charts this week..
Rihanna came in #4 this week, but most importantly I would like to note that she did not beat out beyonce’s 482,000 her first week with Sasha Feirce and all her dumb stans thought she would
why is my comments always being moderated? and CW gets to rail on and on.
@Mari
Because your comments dont make any sense. your a delusional rihanna stan. duhhhhh
@164 its because i don’t run around changing my name 10 million time just to say the same hateful things over and over. I see how it goes. As long as your being hateful mean and vicious, your comments go through. I can see why you stay on this site, because your hateful agenda is truly appreciated.
lesbians…..
rihanna is so tired. this girls time will end soon. she keeps saying she wants to be the next madonna. well at least madonna changed it up and was not copying when she did it. and at least madonna attempts to perform on stage and has dancers, etc. madonna has contributed to pop culture, rihanna wishes she has.
lame. next. i wonder who they will “discover” next. i heard jay z signed this light skinned rapper chick.
@ mari
You’re disgracing urself.
the other stans hav sensibly decided to stfu cuz there’s nufing any1 can say 2 defend rihanna anymore. i suggest u do the same.
i think it’s extremely stupid how u’re blaming CL for other people’s opinions. this is not rihanna’s f*cking fansite, not every comment is going to be positive and Angel has every right 2 moderate any comment….get used 2 it and stop moaning…..
Wow that gold dress looks hella uncomfortable!!!lol
i love her!!! her style Is out of this world and she is soo diverse!! such a trendsetter in so many ways! i love you RIRI !!!
FUCK YOU HATERS! UGLY ASS BITCHES TRYNA HATE CAUSE U DONT LOOK LIKE HER AND YOU CAN NEVER ACCOMPLISH HALF THE THINGS SHE HAS! SO SIT YO SHITTY ASSES ON THAT DAMN COMPUTER CHAIR AND TALK SHIT BEHIND THAT SCREEN CAUSE YOU AINT DOIN NOTHING TO HER SHE STILL SHUTTIN IT DOWN!! AND YOU STILL SHITTIN’ IT DOWN ON YOUR STANK ASS PANTIES BITCHES!
