OK SO HOLE UP. You need to be a professional vocalist to have opinions on someone's voice? Then I want all of you to post youtube videos

Dissed!

That song is out of my vocal range, I will admit. But I love the song and a friend of mine dared me to record it

I already got scalped for it on my facebook, so your "insult" didn't quite sting, my friend.

You picked my worst song buy the way. Call me when Rihanna can do THIS LIVE WITHOUT AUTO-TUNE

*takes off panties*

but why all of a sudden are these threads popping up every where with Rihanna HATE in them she did good last night now people want to complain about her come on she must have did a hell of a job last night for people to still be talking about her

It's not hate, she just did not do a good job, it was very lackluster.

ugh...

she even raps

more like the black Madonna.. very little talent... joy riding off others... u know... "reinventing"

Madonna is the Black Madonna.

It just seems all about Rihanna. Rihanna this. Rihanna that. I mean, if you don't like her, don't listen to her. The constant criticism is bating.

As a Madonna and Gaga stan, I see constant hate for them too.

You only see what your eyes want to see... how can life be what you want it to be? You're frozen. When you're heart's not open...

Let that marinate for a while yall

i voted P!NK but Xtina's was more controversial at the time

Xtina's was the best, Firework is literally a frame by frame ripoff

And the other girls are light versions of Janhova and Magdalene..What's the point?

They have other attributes. Rihanna is a black barbie with great style and good producers.

But seriously, she's a hit or miss. I've seen some performances on youtube where she sounds decent, but when she's off...she's OFF.

I agree she's not all bad, she's just kind of mediocre overall as a performer. I do appreciate she sings live.

the gwurls are infuriated

To me she's all style and no substance. She reinvents herself the way Madonna did but there's not much else going on. I know Rated R was her "deep" album but it's no Velvet Rope. She's a lite version of Janet and Madonna. They had the image evolution, but the charisma, stage presence, conviction etc to really make you believe it.

all her videos are pro-gay

aint that the truf

this whole thread started as shade towards Rihanna so dont do it

it was to everyone, you think it's Rihanna shade because you're a stan

let's be clear: it IS Rihanna shade, but others are included

how is Alejandro pro-gay

the video

Wait hold up...this is Roc right?

the whole shade of this thread is being thrown at Rihanna for what I dont know why? if the white girls do it it's ok but the black girl do it something is wrong stop hating

first you guys griped about her not dancing she danced last night now you wanna talk

Britney dont even sing live and you guys give her a pass you people are so bias it kills me

Katy Perry was horrible last night no one is saying anything about that

I can make a list of white Bitches

that sound worst than Rihanna and you guys dont talk about that

stop checking her thread and listening to her music then she will go away until then grip in this thread

this thread is Bull Shit

This has NOTHING to do with race. People went on and on about Katy and Taylor from last night.

So basically Rihanna, Katy, and Kesha are lesser girls compared to Beysus and Gagallah?

precisely my pet, precisely

Gaga can come off contrived imo. I don't know why she finds it necessary to wear half of the appliances section as Sears at events that don't call for it like tea parties and what not. She has raw talent, but she hasn't demonstrated it. It's almost as if her props and costumes are wearing her rather than the other way around.

She is contrived, but she has the talent to back it up and has definitely demonstrated it.

Once again, as I've stated in the past, yes Rihanna more hits than her peers, but if we were to discuss the ways in which she needs to catch up to her peers, we'd be here all day.

Well in a sense her "peers" are Katy Perry and Ke$ha.

B and G are peers, a tier above those girls

Papa-papa-razi...

I'm your biggest fan..

who would any of us be without Lady Brunhilderson

I said the same thing. I watch these shows and it's just terrible when you have ppl up there who can't perform. Like I said, you can package an artist, but you can't package talent. And when you try to do that, the artist gets on stage and embarrasses themselves. Consequently stans have no other option but to drag them. There hasn't been any artistry in the pop scene in quite some time. There haven't been many classic albums since the dawn of the new millennium, no classic songs, no groundbreaking videos. But at the same time, every artist is not meant to be successful and be huge. There's a reason why Beyonce, Britney, and Gaga can sell out stadiums, but Kesha, Katy, and Justin aint never doing it.

Yep true (about some artists meant to be big and others not). I think Gaga is amazing because she came out with a concept album, she was so sure of who she was, what she wanted to convey, and you never, ever see that. Most artists spend a couple albums finding themselves, but she just unleashed Gaga on the world And the progression from album to album conceptually is genius as well

Hail Gagalupe, full of grace, the lord is with thee

Lady Gaga/RedOne every other song he produce besides her sound horrible

YES. GOOD ONE.

They produced the best song in history, Bad Romance

You aint seen nuffin til you seen Kdolla's junk

Yeah those are those other ppl I was thinking of but couldn't think of. It's quite clear the Untouchables are Mike, Janet, Madonna, and Whitney. I don't put Mariah in those ranks because she was always a trend follower to me rather than a trailblazer. But everyone will always live in those shadows. It's amazing how today's acts have watered down what they've instilled. Nowadays if you can do an 8 count without falling over you're considered a great dancer. Usher was the last of the great dancers. No one has really had "great" choreography. And singing...well just look at Britney and Rihanna. Can't sing for shit but have record contracts, and waters down the importance of vocals in pop music, which is Whitney brought to the table. Today's acts seem lazy and don't have much drive. Like it has been said, there's a reason why Beyonce and Gaga are leading the pack.

Yes, looking at these awards shows and pop music in general it's like where's the raw talent? I found myself thinking numerous times while watching the AMAs why the fuck are you on that stage if you can't even sing and "performing" is walking around and twirling from time to time? Rihanna couldn't even bust a casual move without looking stiff. Christina at least is a great vocalist but all of her recent performances have left me wanting more, she always seems to be struggling to me. With Beyonce you always know she's going to deliver, the bitch can sing, dance, and she's gorgeous which is a nice topping. She's the number one popstar and for good reason and no one is taking her place. And alongside her is Gaga who also has incredible raw talent and the brains to match.

Madonna and William Orbit
