TV BIT: RIHANNA TALKS SINGLE LIFE & COMPETITION ON THE ‘ROSS SHOW’ + PERFORMS “TALK THAT TALK”

March 5th, 2012

Pop sensation Rihanna dropped by the popular British comedy chat show, The Johnathon Ross Show. The 24-year-old entertainer talked about how she is a big fan of Adele, her experience during her 101-date international tour and shared her thoughts on women and competition in the music industry.

It’ll always be a competion. And that why I feel like women are becoming so dominate in music right now. Because we’re very competitive beings and we cannot stand to see another woman doing better than us. That bother us a lot. As much as you guys have egos, our egos are a little bigger. We’re just a lot better at hiding them.

When asked about her love life, Rihanna replied that she is still single and that “single life is so overrated.” Check out the rest of the funny interview below as well as her performance of “Talk That Talk”..

    Loves her. We all know many of the females in music compete w/each other. Rihanna has the guts to just flat-out admit it.

      Beyonce isn’t fake bc she’s a real artist that can bring it live. U & this herpes wannabe Karreuche will be on the chittlin circuit in a few & back up singers & studio tricks won’t be avail then. Keep sucking Bey’s a$$ who doesn’t have gimmicks for talent but a mic & a light.

      I have to agree with Jessica here. She’s definitely high on something. She’s not alert and her eyes can barely focus, because her pupils are the size of saucers.

      WOW, I’m glad I’m not alone in thinking she appeared to be coked up. Would explain the recent weight loss too. SMH, this poor child. I feel sorry for her.

      I don’t think she’s high. She just thinks she’s THAT BEYOTCH. Her success has truly gone to her head and it’s sad bc she’s gotten over on the public and her fans. To be an islander, she’s stiff as f*ck and can’t dance and let’s not get on her singing. They hide her voice behind studio gimmicks and live, she doesn’t sing full songs, she interjects words here and there and the back up singers and music fills up the rest of the void. You can take a cute chick off this board, get her a glam squad and a hit pop writer and have the next Riyawna. I’ve NEVER listened to any of her songs or watched any performances in full. If I’m someplace and her sh*t comes on I tune her out and turn my head. The one or two notes or one or two second visual I catch confirms what she is. A screeching herpes cat that clearly won’t be making money touring when she’s older and when she’ll need it. It’s even sadder that real talent is out here and fans will want them to go away when they’re the ones you’ll need to tell your children about how they produced the good music in your day.

      i wouldn’t call her a crack whore, b/c she doesn’t look like she’s on crack but her beauty has clearly faded a little and she does appear to be a little off kilter.

      the problem with this girl is that you never know if she’s just acting or if she’s going through something, in any case i hope the people around her watch out for her and don’t let her go astray.

      if it could happen to whitney it could definitely happen to her!

      Rihanna is still beautiful and what she does in her personal life is her business. I doubt anyone here has seen her snort coke so as for now all of this is alleged. Exactly as Rihanna said women love to bring other women down and all of you are proving it on this board!!!!

    She’s young (i.e. the reason she thinks females don’t want to see each other succeed). If that was the case Beyonce or Jennifer Hudson wouldn’t be successful. For the simple fact that a majority of their fans are females.

    I believe she’s trying to understand why females don’t like her. I’m definitely one female that’s not a fan of her and I don’t care for her personally either. There’s plenty of reasons why I’m not a fan and not one is because I don’t want to see another female succeed.

    I don’t think she’s talented. I think she’s a waste of a record deal and stage space. I didn’t like how she tried to come across as the poor innocent victim during her ABC interview (talking about being a role model for kids) then turned around and done very sexually graphic music videos. Like what happen to being a role model? She made it clear that she was putting on a show for viewers. That went out the window as soon as the interview ended.

    The one thing, the only thing, this chick has going for her is that she’s pretty. Young girls worship pretty women. When you get older you realize there’s other qualities much more important (such as intelligence). But I think we’ll soon see that looks can only take you so far.

    I’m not gunna lie I did check her eyes at one point when the camera zoomed to her when she was singing at the desk and think Uhhh surely she’s not on something?? It’s no secret she smokes weed is it?? So maybe that could be what it is, maybe she is genuinely tired haha..Who Knows?? I just completely agree with what someone has already said a little before this comment which is you don’t know if she is using or if she is just acting but either way I hope there is a strong group of people with her that will keep her some what in the right direction…I’d rather she was shaking her ass in my TV and wearing next to nothing than getting hooked on all the evil Ish that’s out there!!!xx

    Im annoyed at this rose colored view of the industry. This is a music business, not a playground. Its ALL about staying ahead of the next brand (artist). I applaud Rihanna for just admitting it, she was honest.

    Beyonce is not fake! Rihanna competes with the others just look at her, she has taken RO look already. Artist with talent Adele, Beyonce, Mary j and others compete with them self to be better not others. It shows in what they do in the range of their voice and the music they make. Rihanna goes with strong beats and sex who wants to compete with that all the time. her vocals are not getting strong technology is just getting better. Rihanna cant stand in front of a mic and sing her heart out cause she dont have it. She got guts alright cause she is so fake with her no talent self. She has gotten away with everything so that gives her the guts to say and do cause who cares?

    See there yal go! IM A BOY! & from perspective women dont like to see each do good LETS BE HONEST yal are jealous creatures by nature im not saying all but DEFINETLY MOST. Rihanna has sold more singles then some of your favorite legends & BEYONCE(Not hating on bey I luv her) & has made history & broke records more then the average succesful female in the industry & 2nd Everyone knows rih smokes weed so maybe she took a couple hit b4 coming on the show. She has jus finished a 101 show tour how can she not need to relax shes constantly getting booked for things anyways my point is this girl is established even if Def Jam dropped 1 of their BIGGEST ARTIST she aint goin no where point blank period so get out yal feeling & get over it cuz rih not trippin on yal she rackin up!

    What Rihanna said was the truth. jay and bey speak numerously on their records how their number 1, bey knows she’s number one and in the r&b realm she is King Beyonce! Y’all even call her the queen and once other artist like Keri Hilson for example try to put out music you people waste no time in letting her know she’s no completion to Beyonce. So how can you all really sit here and go back and force that Rihanna childish for the statement she made when clearly its THE TRUTH. I understand y’all may not like her but don’t let your dislike mask the fact that she’s talking real shit. Rihanna has her own lane, Gaga has Pop music on smash. BEY had it with the r&b and Rihanna had thr dance & club scene on lockdown, so whether black ppl support her or not she’s still going to make RACKS ON RACKS ON RACKS! She’s not stupid. I doubt she does cocaine we always see her smoking weed and let’s not forget she maybe depressed with this entire Chris Brown situations shes lost a gang of weight but of course the media won’t see it that will. They’ll see bad bitch Rihanna! An just like boy said before me she is a hard worker and is one of the most demanded artist right now, Rihanna will always say relevant regardless if you support her or not, I know a lot of you may not agree but give her credit. She ain’t fucking no one for her position, and though she isn’t the best singer get voice isn’t bad it’s unique, and she does talk vocals lessons and she’s never lip synced on award shows. And I just need to say for all the people who thought Rita Ora was going to give Rihanna a run for her money all I have to say is NEXT! that girl had no emotional connection with her music I just can’t get into it. Stop comparing artist. Y’all see young, light skin and blonde and are already comparing the two. Have a seat! Big ups to any artist that’s out there doing it. I remember everyone loved JAY Z back them now that he’s the number 1 rap artist he made plenty of enemies, y’all was all over Rihanna’s ass when Umbrella came out and now that she grew from a star to a worldwide international star y’all hate her too, which does go back to her statement, woman are competive and jealous and y’all throw shade at Rihanna every chance y’all get.
