: MediaTakeOut.com got a hold of some video of Rihanna singing. She's not as bad as we thought. But she definitely doesn't deserve a record contract either....
All singers have a flaw...
Mariah Carrie tries to sing like a lil girl Mya sings like she IS a lil girl Brandy sounds like she has a cold Whitney sounds like a gospel singer Shareefa screams too much Sade sounds like a man Avant sounds young Ray-J only does falsetto Justin Timberlake is Michael Jackson Donell Jones sounds like Michael Jackson when he was black T-Boz sounds like she smokes Kelly voice ain't strong enough Cassie is a good singer...in the studio, lol. That slim guy from 112 voice is high.
I could name every singer's flaw...you name them and I'll tell you. But as long as they make good music, they're fine.
MTO, yall hatin cuz all the young singers be trying to run like this when they sing. That's why all this sh!t sounds the same these days.
Personally I blame Diana Ross. That b!tch started this falsetto craze. Before her it was big girls with big voices. Even skinny girls with big voices. Since then we've been stuck with Bitchonce and Rhianna and all these other Diana Ross wannabee's for the last 40 f*cking years. All of them jumping around like rabid f*cking bunny rabbits when they perform shaking they azz and [EXPLETIVE]. Stand the f*ck still and sing so I can appreciate the song and performance. All these b!tches hyped up on Red Bull and sh!t. Slow yall f*ckin azzes down and sing and emote.
I think her live performances sound bad because she gets nervous a lot. Like you can tell. And with an odd voice like hers she can not afford to get nervous because when her voice gets shaky it sounds screechy. She has a very odd voice that needs to be sung in the perfect tune because if she goes out of her range she sounds hoarse quickly. But I mean she can carry a note now SANG I do not know about that but she can carry a lovely tune.
Alot of ppl are on Rhianna jock bcuz she is pretty if she wasnt ppl would immdediately dog her. She CANNOT SING...we dont need proof MTO. Trust me those who know and respect good music from good artist know the difference. I dont care how pretty or fine you are if you cannot sing you dont need to be called a singer. You have beautiful singers with true voices which to me means God gave them a voice to sing...Teedra Moses, Emily King, Amy Winehouse, Janelle Monae, Deemi...and thats just to name a few real down to earth singers...Rihanna 15minutes will die...just like the Ashantis and Cassies...To the person that said WHITNEY HOUSTON HAS A FLAW BECAUSE SHE SOUNDS LIKE A GOSPEL SINGER..most be smokin>>? And I aint talkin about weed or cigs...Whitney houston only flaw is that she allowed herself to fall. Her voice is amazing that woman has no flaws when she sings. Please do not try to make up excuses for these wack singers out here that get placed over a beat that makes you want to dance and then label them a real singer. I can tell some of you are young and most have been born in the mid 90's. LOL>ANYBODY can become a singer nowadays thats what TV and radio stations are tellin us. Back then you had to have a strong vunlnerable emontional voice, looks were not as important. Now looks and sexual image is sellin more than the music itself. I myself dont support Radio stations, MTV OR BET because they constantly air weak azz music...thats why AWARD shows are completely and utterly BORRRRIINNNNGG.
MTO you will find anything negative to say about this girl. Like you said her umbrella song was wack when it first came out. Well I guess it was wack enough to reach #1 in the country. Now you trying to say shes sings like someones holding her nose?! Rihanna's is talented and beautiful so you and all the other on the clock haters are just going to have to except it. And she was best dressed at the MTV awards. What!
the fact of the matter is she sounds good even if it sounds like some one is holdin her nose. u ppl say its only because she is pretty but the fact is u talk alot of [EXPLETIVE] because u dont support the ppl u have a vioce and are ugly. most of u only talk because u have a mouth and people who no very little shouldn't talk so much
she can't sing worht a damn. they should give me a deal if that's the case. i sound liek a wet cat lol!! EH eh eh lol!

wow, she sounded really great. let's be real you guys. she was definitely on tune and like whatwhatwhat pointed out, she is a product of the diana all the way down to mariah/whitney/christina/beyonce histrionics (you could hear the tinges of it at the end of every line) but from a purely vocal standpoint, she hit every tone in that song. whether or not your like the pitch of her voice is a matter of personal taste
LAST WEEK SHE WAS DATING A WHITE BOY THEN SHE HAD A BIG 5 HEAD THE OTHER NIGHT SHE PUT IT ON JUSTIN SO WELL HE HAD TO CANCEL HIS CONCERT A COUPLE OF HOURS SHE SUNG LIKE SOMEONE WAS HOLDING HER NOSE. LMAO...YALL JUST DON'T QUIT MTO LEAVE THIS GIRL ALONE. SHE IS JUST FINE WITHOUT YOUR DAILY NO REAL NEWS HAVING A5SES HAVING TO FUK WITH HER.

LMAO lawd hab mercy some a yall can loose ya minds up in hurrr!!! Im not even touching the gotham city reference LMFAOOOO
I VISIT THE SITE OFTEN, AND THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME I SEE THEM MENTIONING SOMETHING ABOUT BEDONKEY BUT THEY NEVER SAY ANTYTHING ABOUT HOW SHE SOUNDS. TRUTHFULLY I AM SICK OF BEFUNKY AND I WILL BE GLAD WHEN THE CURTAINS CLOSE ON HER CAREER! IT'S TIME FOR RIHANNA TO BE ABLE TO SHINE WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT MONSILLA GORILLA ALL UP IN THE WAY! SHE JUST A SELFISH JEALOUS HEARTED WHORE WHO WEARS TRASHY CLOTHES AND HAS STANK BREATHE! WHERE AS THOUGH RIHANNA ON THE OTHER HAND IS FRESH NEW TALENT AND I BELIEVE IN DUE TIME WILL TAKE BEMONKEY`S TITLE AND I CANT WAIT FOR THAT DAY!
@ nharris:
Number 1, the reason people don't talk as much about how "BEDONKEY", as you put it, sounds is because her singing voice is because she doesn't have the vocal issues that the space alien has. If someone wants to say "BEDONKEY" screams too much, that's fine. But that all just depends on what style of singing someone likes. But at least it qualifies as singing in the 1st place!!!! No one considers whatever the "House Cat from Jupiter"'s doing to be singing.
And it's fine if you're not a Beyonce fan. I'm tired of her myself, mainly because she's a boring interview & her 2nd album isn't as good as the 1st. And it's cool if you want her career to end, that's on you. But to say Rihanna is young, fresh talent shows that you've been drinking the same Peroxide that Britney's been sippin' on lately. How in the hell is Rihanna young, fresh talent, when everything about her performing style is exactly the same as Beyonce's? The high heels, prancing around a stage with 4 other dancers in heels. The booty grinding, the sexy (trying to be) vixen persona on the stage. The only difference is that Beyonce's a better singer than she is, and her leggy prancing in heels is more energetic on the stage. So performance-wise, Rihanna's weaker version of Beyonce's style. Now like her or not, Ciara's style is at least an example of being somewhat different than B's. But not Rihanna.
So if you're looking for a departure from Beyonce's performance style, Rihanna's the last place to look. This is just an example of someone who hates one person & likes another, trying to create differences that don't exist, just because you like one of them. Rihanna sells 20% of what Beyonce does when their albums drop. If everything I named wasn't enough, call this check-mate.
This trick's sandclock hasn't run out yet? It sounds like she's singing through a spongebob balloon.
You only hear her voice when she's standing still and it's a shrilly, cracking, skin crawling sound.
When she's live/dancing - her background does the singing and she interjects a word every now and then.
She's TOTALLY the Black version of Britney Spears -lmao.
