LMFAO!! Dead @ “Didn’t her vocal coach tell her how to use runs during their last Skype chat or did he have her call on mute to block out her noise?”

She always sounds like this. Lol #Horrible

I thought it would have sounded worst. That was an exaggeration Trent -_-

I prefer Jessie J’s acoustic version of ‘we found love’.
And that says a lot since it’s Rihanna’s song lol
I love those tired cheers after she said “Are ya’ll feeling me?” haha

Rihanna… I love you, but that was pretty bad. She basically reprised her 2012 Grammy performance and thought it was okay to try it again. That was a One-Time-Only thing hunbun… Poor Rih. She wants to run and riff like Brandy, Bey, and her bew Chris so bad. That’s not your ministry girl – bring back Music of the Sun and GGGB Rihanna!

im a fan…lol and thats because when i click on a rihanna link i go in knowing what to expect…like i dont click a link on ashanti, expecting to see beyonces choreography…she did as best as rihanna can do…dont agree with the times listing that high tho BLOOP BLOOP

*Bangs head on wall*
Oh My Days, that was pretty painful. SMH Why cant you sing properly? *Goes and listens to Jessie J’s cover*

Bitch did you just try to imply Mariah can’t actually sing when talking to about Rihanna. Refer to her cover of Hero. Mariah at her very dire, nodule filled, straining worse shits all over Rihanna. Nobody can say Mariah doesn’t know how to use her voice. Jessie J and Rita’s 15 second clips defecate on any vocal Rihanna’s capable of giving.

Don’t confuse it with me dragging her. Not everyone has a voice and thats ok but learn and maximize what you do have. That’s what she fails to do and why she gets flack.

Wow! I was expecting something tragic! Trent did a great job of making us click the post! SMH! I love the performance and so did the crowd! LOL @ the woman that said ” Oh! I don’t know all the words”!!! TIME 100 list is a big deal in itself! Performing at the event is an even greater honor! Little island girl to TIME 100 most influential!#BOSS #staymad

trent stay pressed! rihanna has a beautiful tone and for a rihanna vocal it was good! you need to stop holding her up to your fave artists cos she aint that.

The Navy is delsuional clearly its proven after they compared ri to mariah vocally smdh when will this fuckery end

unlike…

She doesn’t sound that bad but my issue is…WTF is this song about. When she slows it down and I have time to listen to it I am completely lost.

I don’t get the “I was expecting something worse” mess. This woman is paid to sing, she is horrible and her tone deaf fans should be put in a class for music appreciation. It was bad, it’s always bad and its a shame that she’s pretended to glorified for it just because of her unfortunate past.

OMG Trent you were really doing too much. She sounded better than normal

@lifefromthefarside: Because the way Trent described it, I was expecting something truly horrible – more than usual (i.e. a Hero 2.0) but this was just average for Rihanna. She can’t sing but what’s new, she pretty much always sounds like this. This is no better or no worse than how she usually sounds.
Don’t tell me that when you see Rihanna stepping onto a stage, you actually expect to hear real singing – that she suddenly changed. I expect the usual garbage which includes her basically singing along to a backtrack.

Rihanna needs to get it together. There were a few good spots in this performance but come on.. She knows this shouldn’t have happened..

@Mooriah, dont try and come the queen mariah boo, she up on that stage looking fresh, lipgloss poppin and a weave that would slay your entire life, not like a street corner hooker with a broke down wig collection that just stumbled on stage by accident. Mariah has nothing to prove shes hit more high notes than you’ve had hot dinners and if you really do moo like a cow, thats alot. Church dismissed.

the fact some of yall are taking up for this performance is very sad… and then someone had the nerve to comment and say this was one of her “better” performances? WTH! shes flat shes all over the place and her runs are never clear. why is this girl famous again?

@ Bee, I keep hoping that she gets an uber vocal coach and will do nothing but practice for a whole year and surprise us (Iireally do). This was quite a good Rihanna “vocal performance”, it didn’t make me want to kill myself.

Trent just KILLS me! but she actually didn’t that bad. She’s really really REALLY improved.

dude that was simple smooth and beautiful
