Rihanna Discusses Chris Brown & Vocal Training In Esquire

Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Chris Brown,Rihanna

Rihanna didn’t only reveal her naked body in the latest issue of Esquire magazine; she also spoke about her feelings toward her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. Amidst discussions about her ‘Loud Tour’, the ‘We Found Love’ performer initiated to her usual pre-album promotional routine of talking about her former flame of whom she will “always be a fan”.

Furthermore, Rihanna shared details about the vocal training regimen that she conducts before every performance where she where she contacts her vocal coach via Skype. Surprisingly, she did not mention her fondness of smoking.

Read what Rihanna had to say below:

OnChris Brown

Rihanna tells Esquire magazine that disliking Brown “was taking up too much of my time” and that she has moved on from that.

“It was too much anger,” the 23-year-old said. “I’m really excited to see the breakthrough he’s had in his career. It’s incredible to see how he pulled out the way he did. Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know?”

“I really like the music he’s putting out. I’m a fan of his stuff. I’ve always been a fan.”

On vocal training

I eat lozenges, steam my voice and do my makeup. I Skype my vocal coach and we sit there at the makeup table and do warm-ups for about a half-hour.

Of course, such hard work and rigourous training is necessary for Rihanna to deliver her renowned vocal gymnastics and defend her title as The Voice. The results of that approach are evident every time she belts the triumphant ‘Only Girl (In The World)’ or scales through her amazing vocal range in the melismatic ‘Skin‘.

  “…even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know?”
  
  It didn’t just “seem” like the world was against him. The world WAS actually against him. People were boycotting his music and tours, caling him names, taking away endorsement deals etc.
  Not saying it wasn’t deserved, but for her to come off like that seems kind of like she was oblivious to the whole situation.

  Clap for yourself rihanna, your pulling the same tricks you allways do before a new record comes out.
  Almost 3 years and the girl cant stop talking and CASHING IN in Chris brown.
  I bet in 10 years time she will STILL be talking about it.
  Get your Coins RihRih! Your fans are soooooo proud of you!
  
  This is one of the reasons why i dont support Rihanna.
- rihluv
  
  you bitches are so stupid..they ask her the questions..she doesnt just bring his name up and beyond all that, she’s always beeen the more successful one…loud just hit 5 million in sales…sooooo *in my shanaynay voice* BOOP!
- Destined
  
  Wow! Rih give it a rest already like seriously? And yes she can request not to be asked about Chris or politely decline thank you. And the voice convo, no comment.

  I know it’s not her who brings up Chris,but it looks like she’s more responsive when her stuff is about to come up.She knows that if she talks about him,people are going to pay attention.But I’m not bashing her,this is business,no one is saint here,c’mon.And glad to know that she’s finally taking vocal training lmao,hope she’s taking it seriously,she really needs to.

  The thing is, she was asked a question so she answered. Why would she need Chris to promote? Think about it? She had a solid fan base and being this us the first time she’s said anything about him is not the reason her née shyt skyrocketed on iTunes and billboard. You guys are done hating birds. When the Chris incident happened, she was one of the few who didn’t talk about him and kick him when he was down. She can’t please bishes whether she does or doesn’t. From what I read, it was positive what she said. Bishes need to worry about Beyonce stealing shyt. Gif that.

  If the interviewer is asking her a question about him, she’s going to answer it. It’s not like she bashed him or anything. He’s enjoying some success right now and she’s happy for him. End of.

  nice…shes pretty but that cover isnt
  this is what bothers me about rihanna,her timing
  nice or not the only time she talks about chris or the situation is when she has new music to promote
  If she talked about him or it for the rest of her life i wouldn’t even have a problem but its just funny that she only really talks about him when its time for a new album
  And dont give me “the interviewer asked” because rihanna is a big enough star where her team could say shes not answering any questions about him
  also people stop tryna act like oh shes always been more successful then him sweeties some of yall like to act like gggb was her first project it was her 3rd,the first two came and went and very few people even knew they were two different albums
  Im happy shes doing good no hate from me im just calling it how i see it

  @Miss, CO-SIGN!

  If this wasnt for promotion then why doesn’t she say these “nice” things on Twitter? Because Twitter is FREE! She only mentions Chris when its for magazine covers or tv interviews. When there’s money involved she will use her Breezycard.

  I love to hate Rihanna’s vocal performances just like the next person, but I simply hate the fact that anytime Rihanna’s name is mentioned and vocal performance appears somewhere in the paragraph, Trent seeks it as an opportunity to paint her as a overzealous chain smoking mannequin. Like, for real? Who cares if she smokes? That’s on her. We all know she can’t sing live anyway. That’s her career down the drain. A lot of your faves drink and smoke ciggies.

  Yasssssssss @ the New York gif LOOOOL
  
  “her melismatic skin” hahahahah #officiallydead
  I don’t mind her being called “the sexiest woman alive” but why showing yourself on squire magazine naked? Like seriously, she’s such a pretty girl and I don’t get why showing her ass when she could be wearing a wonderful/gorgeous dress or skirt and still looking radiant…. this is so lame.
- Dray
  
  The magazine is Esquire not Home and Garden or Southern Living! Research the magazine, she isn’t the only one to do a nude cover!

  Hilarious (in T.I voice).. She is a opportunist and never cease to amaze me on the lengths that she will go to get that #1 cd on BB. Even if she has to play nice now since she was unable to destroy young man career. People can say “they ask her a question” . She can always respond by no comment its not that hard if she is serious about “moving on”
- Laughable
  
  The girl said she was out to make an empire and she is serious. If folks will only buy magazines when she cashes in on her cash cow CB then expect more interviews with CB mentioned. People she is building an empire one bigger than Beyonce or Oprah for that reason. *Laughs*
- Ugh
  
  The results of that approach are evident every time she belts the triumphant ‘Only Girl (In The World)’………….this is sarcasm right? i absolutely hate her voice on this song. he sounds forced and if she’s gasping for breath
- BreezyTaughtMe!
  
  Rihanna can decline to discuss whatever she wants. Stop saying the interviewer asked, so she MUST answer. She wants to discuss Chris because she wants to. Im not sure if its for PROMOTION but at least its good. Hell she could have bashed him. either way Im sick of seeing her but she has a brand to build so its whatever.
- BreezyTaughtMe!
  
  Another point to add, rihluv, Chris was the more successful of the two, rihanna didnt become a “success” until GGGB, her third album. Chris’ debut album was a hit.
