I think she did really well. What saves Rihanna is her unique tone. If she takes the time to develop her voice more she’ll be the real deal.

This is so disapointing, Rihanna didn’t sound like Whitney houston. You’re the one who said her voice causes natural disasters, why should her not sounding like one of the best singers of our time bother me…

You don’t always have to throw shade ya know. For example now it just sounds tired, bitter, and forced. Like you had to say something negative no matter what. Lighten up, just because she will steal your faves single crown does not mean you have to hate her…

Whatever she is smoking….smoke more of it gyal because this is the best I’ve heard her sound throughout her entire years in the music industry. Go ‘head girl…*lights spliff and passes it to Robyn*

No shade but shade Trent you always dissing people when its not needed. Clearly its not needed here smh

Trent how are you going to shade her and then say “she used to be much worse”… okay.. we all know that.. why can’t you congratulate her at least once? she sounded decent.. This is why I don’t bother with you anymore.

The first song Rihanna did with Coldplay was just a hot mess. Umbrella was ok. You can see here that she need vocal training.

So long as she isn’t being nasal, I can tolerate her. I don’t think there’s any point to talking about her vocals since her success has little to do with that.

Madonna can’t sing or dance and she is still praised. So just let Rihanna be, because she will probably always have a limited voice. Until Rihanna spends time with her vocal coach and puts enough thought into improving, everyone can just hush. Trent you are just so lame at times. That shade was weak and uncalled for. I love Mariah, but no matter how big her range is, she never was and never will see
Whitney “The Voice” Houston in her PRIME!
