Her voice has improved dramatically since last year-I saw her on david letterman and her voice sounded great: [link to external website removed]
re: josh hartnett-that was a freaking lie that a unreliable gossip mag in the UK made up. She isn't dating that guy-she said she was single several times the same night she allegedly said all that stupid stuff about josh.
nici shut up whoever you are Everybody who've read my posts know that I hate rihanna. You aand the rest of the world think that light skin oeople are most beautiful. That girl should not be as famous as she is. There are more deserving artists with music out right now, ex. chrisette micheal, jill scott, tamia, etc.
That why society is the way it is, everything fake is readily acepted and the truth is never accepted.
Like i have said before, she is a waste of good music.
shabin-wow, you sound super angry at Rihanna. That's usually called misplaced anger when you don't actually know the person.
Of course Jill Scott is more deserving of fame and celebrity-BUT SHE ISN'T TRYING TO BE A TEEN POP STAR. RIHANNA IS DOING POP MUSIC, A FIELD WHICH IS MORE POPULAR WITH CONSUMERS THAN R/B/SOUL/ADULT CONTEMPORARY LIKE JILL SCOTT. THUS THE NAME "POPULAR" MUSIC.
Don't try to give me some sad lecture about "society" when you have no argument to stand on.
You don't have to like her, I don't like her alot either or buy her music. But Rihanna is what she is-she's 19, she's pretty, she has a nice enough voice, and she came out with a hits friendly album. Get over it .
STOP THE FUKIN MADNESS THIS NO SINGIN HO IS SIMPLY NOT ALL OF THAT. SHE IS AVERAGE OK GET THAT IN YALL DUMB AZZ HEADS. THE BIATCH IS AVERAGE. WOW I CAN NAME SO MANY FEMALES AND MALES FOR THAT MATTER THAT LOOK BETTER OR EQUAL, MYSELF, NAOMI, LAURYN, FOXY, MY MOM, MY COUSINS, TLC, J HUD, JODY WHATLEY, SADE, INDIA ARIE, JILL SCOTT, KIMBERLY ELISE, BRANDY, LAILA HATHAWAY, LALA ALI, MY GRANDMA, TARAJI HENSON, GARCCIELLE, ERYKAH BADU AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON....DAMN
Listen nici, please do not give me any therapy. I will never get over unfairness. People like you who buys her music when the real artists do not sell are the ones to blame. I CAN TELL YOU ARE VERY YOUNG. MAYBE YOUNGER THAN 20.
I hate this site for always talking about this ugly girl. Why don't they promote jill scott, betty white, angie stone the same way they promote rihanna. Chrisette michelle is a hell of an artist but her album is still not gold.
1onnydan, I second everything you say.
In another post Lonnydan called her beautiful, now she is just average looking. Rhianna IS NOT lightskinned you dumb asses. She is more like light brown and that is with the help of bleaching cream. Anybody who thinks she is light skinned is probably black as my keyboard and think all people lighter than them is lightskinned. Idiots But nevertheless, she is pretty. She is a little girl, leave her alone. Middle aged women should not be hating on a teenager
Looking at that list: Brandy looks better than rhianna, LMAO and India Irie, who looks like a silverback gorilla, LOL, surely you jest. Anyways Chrisette Michelle is not doing that well because of marketing and her style of music. She is targeting a NEO-SOUL audience not a pop audience. Pop artist, neo-soul artist...guess who will sell more records.
shabin-but you need to get over it, cause you are comparing apples to oranges.
Rihanna and Jill Scott's careers will be different-so what if Jill Scott doesn't make the pages of MTO? Why would you want her to? So, they can degrade her the way they degrade most of the females they post about?
Rihanna will have a very massive career, but a shorter shelf life. Jill Scott may have a more moderate success than Rihanna, but she has a long career ahead of her. And obviously she seems to have chosen that path. I don't feel sorry for Jill Scott at all-she's smart,she's beautiful, poetic, and she's being an artist and letting her artistry lead her.
Be happy MTO doesn't promote her. Or else they would do what they are currently doing to Rihanna-build her up, and then tear her down.
shabin-the thing with pop stars though-you tear one down-10 more sprout up! The interesting thing about pop stars though is that black girls are filling those spots, whereas previously only white girls could. Beyonce and now Rihanna have been dominating that scene, and in that sense it's nice.
pinchi-two words: anger management.
Poor thang. In all the Hollywood glitters, she´s 4gooten that it´s all business. This chick doesn´t write, produce own any merchandise and all the money she getting is going in all the entourage and more so the stylist coz she/he or they are doing all the work in making her career.
At the end of the year when it´s time for accounting and the record label takes their cuts for the limo, release party etc,
The producers and songwriters get their BIG cuts, the entourage get´s their cut, the all year partying around the globe expenses are cut,
This chick actually may remain close to broke. Famous but almost bankrupt.
She´s still busy being blinded by all the glitter to realise that it´s time to put in some major work!
TLC and Toni Braxton made it through coz they atleast had some talent to work with from ground zero the 2nd time.
This chick, well, after they pimp her out, they won´t want to help her dried ass back up coz what talent will they have to do that with?
Besides the forhead, she is alright looking though, not model material. If she chops some head out and starve her self to death maybe, other than that, too many pros in the modelling world already for her to even compete.
Where is po´childs parents? They need to start stashing some cash for the rainy days for their child. I see a britney coming on if this is not the case.
Moms, come get your baby and stop leaving her trotting around the globe with no parental guidance but all this money hungry sharks. Lawd! they pimping that child dry....
How is it hard for you to say anything bad about rihanna's looks, MTO, you don't have a problem saying anything about anyone else.
Maybe i can help if you can't seem to find the words then mto.....the only time rihanna is cute is when her five head is covered and the camera is at angle that doesn't show her long chin.
Shabin36 you're mad lame. Rihanna can't sing, but the chick is gorgeous. You dont have to like her, but you gotta respect her, she's out doing her and making money doing something she loves, she's popular and she's very beautiful, what the f*ck are you doing with your life?? Can't be much since you're on Mediatakeout hating on a black chick that's making a living and representing. I agree she doesnt have that great of a singing voice, but she has marketable looks, which is exactly why she is where she is, and probably you are where you are. How can you compare Rihanna to Jill Scott, Jill Scott is Neo-Soul and Rihanna is pop music,. Last time I checked people arent flocking the record store to buy neo-soul, whereas Pop music is marketable to everyone, not only blacks. Get it together, with your whack ass point, you're probably just jealous of her. As is 1/2 this f8cking website.
Hotamale stfu! I've seen Rihanna up close and personal @ Pink Elephant in NYC and that chick is way lighter than she is in these pics. How is she not lightskinned? Black people have such an issue with skin complexion its not even funny. The chick is light as [EXPLETIVE], probably lighter than Beyonce. Get it together, you're all complaining about how untalented and unattractive she is, yet she's on major websites an on tv everyday, not to mention has hit records, while y'all are probably flipping burgers at Mickey D's. Jealousy is not a good look.

Bronzey, stay out of big people business. This was a conversation that you have no business putting in your two cents. Even the intellectuals are posting on this site. I guess you are one of them. First and formeost, I can never be jealous of rihanna because I am older than rihanna and have been through hell and back from the time I was conceive to present. My point is that rihanna is a no talent and ugly. She does not deserve the recognition she gets. I do not care what kind of music jill scott makes, real talent is real talent and I would like to see all those girls who worked so hard to improve on their talent get some of the awards she gets.
Do not let me start to describe what is being done so that she can sell records, you have to remember she is from Barbados.
How can I be jealous of her when I am as light skinned as she is and my hair is flaming red, naturally. no clour needed , I was born with that colour. How can I be jealous when I know what will happen to her in a few years,she is a non singing, ugly girl who needs makeup, blaeched skin, and weave to look acceptable to society.
Now I will not broadcast my education because I can tell you may never reach where I have reach in this life.
If rihanna had talent like Patra, sean Paul, Brick and Lace, I would have supported her just like I do all the other artists, but she has NOTHING. I mean no stage presence, no dance skills, no vocal ability, fake green eyes, bleached skin and picky hair. When she begins to work at becoming a singer who can carry a tune I will buy her music but that will be too late.
Bronzey, you are too young and uneducated to join in this conversation. stay out of it. you are just as fake as she is because she represents you.fake people with no sense. If you had some sense you would have realize what I implied.
You're wrong about the fake green eyes part...those are at least real. Everything else is debatable. In any case I think what most people are missing is the fact that her voice is unique and that is what propels her. There are alot of people with real pretty voices but how unique are they really? How easy is it for their sound and image to stand out.
i had to go and register so i could cuss that shabin36. this is my first post.
dont hate on a sista who definitely look way better and sing way better than ya ancestors down to u. RIHANNA IS ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR, WORLD'S BEST SELLIN POP FEMALE ARTIST. chrisette michelle, jill scott would not even get that like wat rihanna achieved. why are people knockin rihanna's singin when there is ciara who dances and doesnt sing a lick. i watched that video of wat rihanna has on now and she sang HATE THAT I LOVE U and she was good. go and watch it on youtube and u will see that rihanna sounded good. we all know she is not as good as celine, whitney, mariah, beyonce, etc with the voice but rihanna doesnt have vocal trainin, the others had vocal trainin. rihanna is raw talent that needs to be molded into real talent. time will come when she will blow us away cause she has the songs and the looks.
how de hell could brandy, etc look better than rihanna? please heffas, get a life. rihanna is a singer not a songwriter or a producer, all she has to do is sing, actors dont write their movie scripts they just show up on set and repeat the lines. in time rihanna will start writin her own stuff. we all know jennifer hudson got a power voice but to me if all these artists sounded like jhud i wouldnt like it. cause they sound the same, rihanna is different with her voice and that is wat i like.
stop hatin and appreciate. aaliyah wasnt no singer but a note holder. rihanna was not the first nor is the last to do music based on looks. so shut up and stop commentin the same nonsense all the time. we all know u dont like rihanna, then y r u wastin ur time postin. go and cook or do somethin and leave this girl alone.
MTO, POST THE VIDEO OF THIS PERFORMANCE SHE DID IN LONDON, SHE WAS GOOD AND SHE HELD THE NOTES WELL.
@thatbangorder, wat ever. beyonce is average, aaliyah is average, ciara is average, all these cats are average, janet is average cause i dont see no appeal in her at all. so wat? rihanna is sexy as hell even though she is average. and her dresses at the awards recently have proven that she has the looks down pack.
BAJANS IN THE HOUSE.
MTO is u are going to comment about her voice....How about including an audio in the article?
And for those of you who get mad because people are commenting on your post that are directed only at bloggers x,y, and z do us all a favor and EMAIL x,y,and z if you don't want others responding to your comments.

Bajandobad Flag post
models dont design their own clothes but model them.
actors dont write their movie lines.
time will come when rihanna will write her own stuff. writin material is downfall for a lot of people.
NOW WANNA MEKKIN ME MAD WITH THIS CRAP. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I know what I am saying is true. I can't stand unfairnesss. If I want to post every day you cannot stop me because you are way too immature to realize that rihanna is a waste of good music. Kanye mother just died so I am not going to relate my response to mess.
I can post and will continue to post about this no talent. There are many other peoople who say worse things than I have said. You need to go and clean your house, mind, emotions, and writing. Do not mess with the redhead.
I do not talk about anybody's families. Please do not refer to mine. Since you are a Bajan, then I will say that you are some of the ones who do voodooo and obeah to get success.
You do not know who is writing behind shabin36. Leave me the hell alone. If rihanna was a natural like the others than I would support her. You and I know what is going on. So do not post anything about my posts.
Time will tell and when the ball drops, you will be the first to laugh at her. I will see.
redhead caribbean girl here to stay.I do not comment on her color because I am lighter than she is. I just comment on the fact that many artists work hard for their awards but she gets it for free.
Fergie is the best selling artist then came amy winehouse. rihanna's single sold 3 million not the album. Now get off this site, you are not welcome. Let the real peopelm comment. THEN WE CAN HAVE WRITTEN EXCHANGES.
ps Beyone is nowhere average. now that's a lie.
I do not call rihanna the names they call her on this site and every site. I just talk about her no talent ass. I do not discuss her whoring backside, I only post about her music which should not sell like that because she is NO TALENT.
I have read some of the shameful comments that her own friends made about her and I never said things like that. now let me post in peace.
Bajandobad. Don´t get caught up in that "hate that I love you" video like this new brainwashed generation. Take a moment to actually listen to her sing...she ruins the soong, especially at the bridge where she "tries" to take it to church.
Maybe I hear this things cause am classically trained or maybe it´s because am used to hearing singers from a old and new generations that can actually carry a tune.
Point is:-
She is no singer! She is no danncer! She is no producer! She is no songwriter! She is no nothing, just a body and skin for the industry to clothe a fantasy and idea on for as long as the body and skin has not reached it´s expiration date.
And don´t get me started on the she is young and will grow into it.
We´ve seen other young very capable artists get their hustle on from day one so that type of excuse just don´t cut it.
Jojo is a baby and writes, arranges and is in full control of her career...she actually sings too.
Lil mama and them have control of their lanes too.
Aaliyah, Brandy and Monica were in full conrol of their career direction and image even if they didn´t control all of it at a mere 14, 15 years of age. No gimmicks!
Truth is nowadays the oublic is trained to actually think that people like ol´gyal and cassie actually carry tunes and they will fight you to the death to prove a lie that this is actual singing and entertaining....
Sad but true. Blame the radio and mtv.
MTO please do people a favour and start posting bulletins on other real singers as well.
I know Jojo and Chrisette and Badu etc were spotted somewhere doing something for God knows some reason.....fill us in.
Better yet, fill your spaces with this artists for some real coverage and let the people get into this real people.
P.S check out the new artist Leona Lewis at [link to external website removed]
Hope more of her kind is to come to actually teach their peers on how to sing among other entertainment thangz.
I think Rihanna looks good in pretty much all of her pictures, and she has a great voice to me too.
And as for you Lonnydan you needs to stop hatin on this girl, because if you don't like rihanna why even take the time to click on her page and check out her pictures, so you see you must like something about her because you sure checking her out.Besides the only females that hate on other chicks are jealous of them.
Okay first of all 'addict' I never said anything was wrong with an opinion.But all that hating on females aint even called for. If females on here jealous of Rihanna caz she making that money then thats there problem they aint gotta try to talk trash to make thier selfs feel better, if you dont like Rihanna dont click on a page thats all about her and then start hatin, it just shows how stupid females are. so come correct next time....
Gosh some of you are some hatin' a$s women! Try to love yourself more, instead of wasting your breath hating on someone getting it! I'm not her biggest fan, but she's not fcukin, feedin', or financing me, nor is she doing the same for you haters. Get a life!! lol I swear I'd LOVE to see some of y'all pictures! Probably look like a dog walking backwards lololol
Rihanna, I can say something about her looks; sometimes she looks so pretty and sometimes she looks like a alien or pig or average looking. Her skin color is perfect when its 'tanned.' Anyways, her voice is not bad, not Mariah or Whitney but not horrible either. And Rihanna is just a fad, she doesn't have concrete talent so she probably will be gone in a few yrs; same fate as Ashanti, Cristina M. Cassie and other 'just pretty' chicks.
whats all this gibba gabba about being light skinned . the girl is light skinned after all her father is half white i think thats why she has green eyes
STOP HATING ON RIHANNA ......YES JILL SCOT IS GREAT BUT WE ARE LIVING IN AN ERA WHERE SEX APPEAL IS FAR MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN REAL ACTUAL TALENT ...JILL SCOT IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN BUT SHE IS GETTING OLD ..ITS LIKE THAT TOO IN HOLLYWOOD NOBODY CARES ABOUT ANYONE ABOVE 30 YEARS OF AGE THAT MUCH .
RIHANNA IN TERMS OF SUCCESS IS WAY BETTER THAN JILL SCOTT ...WHY
SIMPLE GO TO JAPAN , RIO , HARARE , CAPE TOWN , DUBLIN , SIDNEY [AUSTRALIA] , BUENO AIRES , BEIJING ...HEY HAVE SEEN A PICTURE OR HEAD ABOUT RIHANNA ...JILL SCOTT IS NOT AN INTERNATIONAL STAR . SHE DOESNT DO CONCERTS AROUND THE GLOBE AND YOU SAY HER SUCCESS IS BETTER ? ASK YOURSELF
@SHABIN,
U are an idiot. Rihanna won WORLD’S BEST SELLIN FEMALE POP ARTIST and FEMALE ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR at this year’s WORLD MUSIC AWARDS. Fergie and amy aint win [EXPLETIVE]. she still has the biggest song in the world for 2007. fergie and amy aint got that. So it is time fuh u to hush ya trap, btw, I don’t do voodoo I aint ya mudda. VIDEO OF THE YEAR FROM VIBE AWARDS, VIDEO OF THE YEAR AND MONSTER SINGLE FROM MTV VMAS, I COULD GIVE U A WHOLE RUN DOWN OF ALL THE AWARDS SHE ATTAINED THIS YEAR BUT I WILL LET U DO YA RESEARCH SINCE U ON YA FAT ASS TALKIN [EXPLETIVE]
^^^Wow. I like Rihanna as much as the next person but some of ya'll are delusional stans.
Rihanna may have won a few awards so what? That doesn't mean she can sing b/c she mostly wins for videos not her voice. And how is she the best selling when she ain't even gone platinum yet? Rihanna doesn't sell a lot of albums. I'm just saying I'm a neutral fan of Rihanna's and she has had some hot songs but until she starts winning some grammy's those few awards she's won don't mean squat.
Alicia, Beyonce, and Lauryn Hill are the Queens of the Grammy's. They have so many grammy's they don't know what to do with them. And that's because they can sing their asses off so they're well deserved. Rihanna is cool but she is not at their level yet. Who cares about those other awards the Grammy's are what artists dream about getting. I'm just saying as a fan Rihanna is cool but she still has more work to do.
i am not sayin that rihanna is on the same level as alicia and beyonce cause i know she aint. bey and alicia have been out long time. i just hate when someone is knockin someone else cause of envy and jealous which is typical of black people.
that goes back to the history of slavery where the browns and lightskins would get to work in the house close to their masters and befriend them leaving the darksins blacks workin in the hot sun. envy and jealous seemed to have stemmed from that history.
no one is stoppin shabin from singin or performin, if he/she wants to perform then go ahead. rihanna aint stoppin u.
at rihanna not takin her own direction. i like that she is allowin her label to dictate cause when an artist begins to take their own direction they will fail. look at kelis (dropped), christina milian who did her own thing and was dropped, etc. there are a lot of artists who want to be the horn instead of the tail when they enter the industry and they set themselves up for failure. in time rihanna will take the horns and not the tail. in the meantime let her be guided and not lead cause this industry is tough and as an island girl she would do anythin her label says so she can be successful. alicia keys takes her own lead there r few artists out there who can do that, kudos to her, but let rihanna be, she is a human being just like us.
WE TEND TO HAVE THIS CAIN AND ABEL ACTITUDE WHEN IT COMES TO JEALOUSY.
