Rihanna Redemption Song

[MrKaripie]

I wasn't a big Rhianna fan, but I really liked her version of Marley's beautiful song. Go girl... towards more music embodying justice & peace! You have a true gift for it.

[cynte08]

Bob Marley is crying for redemption from his grave!

[lex4rizzle]

damn..why ya'll hating? i kno im a big rihanna fan, but honestly she doesn't sound bad or irritating to the ear.. not bein biased. gee wiz. it's ok, it's rihanna's version.

[owensa22]

She can't even sing the fucking lyrics correctly.... Brown should have beat some talent into her, not out of her.

[dbuckshon]

@owensa22 its quite obvious you dont know talent when u see talent...and the sad thing about it....she's a celebrity and ur just a fking scum that nobody knows or even care about.....i hate people who just hate for no reason...the song sounds good...but you people just have no life

[msking1991]

awful 

[yescali]

Please Don't ruined that beauty song

[hawkeyfam3]

Uhgg.. Sorry. Bob Marley is hallowed ground. Only another Marley should be allowed to cover it.

[keraberry]

i like it.. and differnt view of the song..

stop it this was her take on it.. this is what it ment to her..

[A64thProduction]

Just ruined my freedom song

[GermanBMXstyle]

does she want to make it to a pop song? she should go and do something else and leave the masters masterpiece alone ò.ó

[winter10]

Nah she doesnt get this song. Nevr heard anybody do it like bob except some irish drunk once. You need alot of heart to sing this one.

[EndlichUrlaub93]

oh no. :s

[TheMissHughes]

She Sang This Nice .. Her Accent , I Love It !

[samiradelsol]

@rbx22

very smart, really ...

[hannah120288]

love rihanna and love this version, i dont understand why everyones hatin!! i love it when she shows her carribean colours!!! rihannas the best xx

[BrutusDA]

@hannah120288 Bob Marley doesnt have the most beautiful Voice in the world but when you hear him sing this song you can hear the pain in his voice hes literally crying for freedom and redemption. thats what makes the song so special and for someone to sing it without that same emotion (Rihanna) its like a slap in the face.

[hannah120288]

@BrutusDA yh i get what you mean about Bobs voice and the way he sings but Rihanna is singing a triibute to one of her favourite artists with emotion and if you love bob then you should take a leaf from his book and stop hatin and respect people. bob will never be forgotten he lives on through his music and current artists covers.

[IvyPervan]

she's AMAZING singer, love this cover!

[HumanitySector]

She's awesome.

[JaNieceMichon24]

Deaddd 3:02 - 3:06 she sounded JUST LIKE beyonce....

[khaleea]

YH SHE DID WHEN U REALLY LISTEN TO IT

[hannah120288]

@JaNieceMichon24 omg yh!! xx

[Taalib]

beautifully done

[MrLoveMachine101]

Amazing cover i can tell she really loves this song

great job =]

[krabhole]

from 3:02, she tried to do it like Beyonce.

[gabii200395]

@krabhole its like beyonce has been the first one to sing like that .. --'

[cools18000]

@gabii200395 sdgftkjndfugsnerwkjahubutgf :|

[peppipoi]

what the fuck has she done to the greatest song ever

[hannah120288]

@peppipoi put her own spin on it and created another brilliant version.....x

[gjcbsm]

Check out this song performed by Intwine in vlaardingen!!!!

[litamamita]

i think she sounds fine, but it feels like her interpretation doesn't push the message out

[keriah17]

are u retarded? dont like bob marley but u like rihanna? talk about tasteless

[Joiwashere]

@keriah17 : THANK YOU!!!!

[MDB2770]

@keriah17 I fucking rekoNNnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!! wtf man...tastless indeed... i hate people who hate no taste in music

[tatofi]

i love bob marley; a huuuge fan. but i recognize that her singing this doesn't take away from that. his song is original of course; you can't be mad at the girl for singing it her way. it's still beautiful

[delisious2000]

reading these comments make me realize how pathetic some people are. why not listen to the message in the song not the messenger losers.......some of you will never see or do any of the things she has done stop being haters

[rasmuspaluffen]

Stop! You're killing the song!

[9272949]

frigg up the most touching marley song

[famous0318]

amazing quality =D

[dilldudedill]

Shame

[roman2565847]

viejos pirata la agarron y le dieron una santa putisima a la pendeja.

[ladyraie]

i love rihanna but the the live version was awful... this sounds a lot!!

[fuckinthis]

you are all pathetic, so shut up , SHE IS AWESOME adn sexy

[752257nb]

i actually kinda like this.....but ppl r saying that its not as good as bob marley...of course its not rihanna and bob marley have both great ways of singing! and even tho it isnt as good as Bob..she made it her own :) R.I.P Bob Marley :(

[MrTramp83]

A fake artist sings a real song. Cant believe this shh..

[charlie459]

A fake artist? Yeah your right, All her songs and albums are so fake. What's the matter with you ..

[GVSS15]

booooooooooooooooooooo bob is turning in his grave rite now !

[Joashn]

It's good, but not great.  Prefer Bob.

[maureen1002]

@Joashn Bob is always preferred!! But indeed an interesting remake!

[rexofari]

no es su estílo, pero pz es una buena causa!

[kumar117]

TBH....

ilikedit.

[SydneyTaylorA]

@kumar117 So did i!

[jenghi21]

i don't like her version. Bob Marley had a certain style and when you cover a song that original style doesn't always have to come through, but there was real attitude in Bob Marley's song and im just not feeling any strength or truth behind her version

[hateful22]

@jenghi21 so agree.. she made a great song sounds horrible.

[jenghi21]

@hateful22 sure did

[nurserihanna]

are you of what you are saying? well how did you know that she didnt have a feeling while singing it? did she told you? haha.

[jenghi21]

@nurserihanna i'm very sure that i didn't sense any real feeling from her. i didn't say that she didn't have any while singing, i just didn't get that vibe from her

[nurserihanna]

well i do. anyway its a free country, we can say whatever we want.

[jenghi21]

@nurserihanna yeah chick  we sure nuff can

[AEG6]

she is a very talented young lady, amazing on Oprah

[VictorVargas3185]

@AEG6

Are you being serious?

[iHeartiLoveiDream]

She had a good voice before because she was younger and it was higher. Now as she's getting older its getting deeper and is not changing in her favor.

[MrlynMac]

I like this version. It's okay and it's for a good cause.

[MrMs8ismail]

love u rihanna

[irvvv]

WTF!!!! "is this love" and then REDEMPTION SONG!!????

Riahnna a like how u sing...but bob is...BOB!"!!!!

[wintz2654]

@irvvv Its a honor that she's covering such a legend. I knew i love this girl!

[wecarbon]

who is playing to guitar?

[luckythedog01]

i like her

[luckythedog01]

She is really good. My dad likes Bob Marley and i listen to it with him

[yungkad14]

3:02 she did tha thang

[comino17207]

oh my gold!!!!rihanna fuck!dont touch the king bob!

[lujke456]

what happend to her voice,she sings this song flawless but her live performances lately aren't flaterring to her vocal abilities.

[NavyBaby101]

I know.

This sounds amazing. Its said people are acting like it doesnt sound good. Hey we all dont have the same hearing so what can I say. I am sure she reads most of this and her not being a true vocalist always cames up. Stuff like that always beats downs peoples self esteem

[ExCxFxUx33]

nice to hear these singers do some real music

[kimrocks3000]

This song is so beautiful

[GeggyJey]

no it's not a prove 1° it's not live

2° it sounds creepy anyhow xD

[kitynella]

I loove it I loove UU Kisss (LL)

[alison866]

fuck fuck fuc ;/;/

[nemiah20]

Hey Rihanna can sing period. I think sometimes Americans fell treaten by a person coming from another country to sucessfull in America. I'm from the Carribean and i know how it should be done. Rihanna and i grew up off this music. The girl can sing period. JUST STOP HATING MAN

[khemix]

not again...

[Bourneese]

that sound so amazing

to all haters...here is the proof she can SING

[sheleah101490]

This is really good... I've never heard the Marley version, but just cuz it wasn't a reggae version doesn't mean it's bad. Her voice sounds amazing.

[LaurynUk]

To be honest, I thought it was going to be a lot worse.

[ColorsBright]

This sucks because she cant sing... just like many "so called" people who claim that they are SINGERS OR MUSICIANS these days.  This is what I call "prepackaged cotton candy"

[XxMissUmbrellaxX]

good job Ri

[tuezdaye101]

i love this song by her tho sounds really nice

[glasscitychick88]

the sound quality on this is horrible!!

[mara5ca]

boooo sucks

[XxMissUmbrellaxX]

u a LAME go head Ri hunny can sing

[jeremiahcofer]

I dunno what you guys are talking about! Of course she's not Bob Marley! If this song was a pop song, then it will be her song because she sounds good! She only can be Rihanna not Bob. It sounds good to me. You can really hear her voice in acoustics versus it be hidden by the many instruments of her band! GREAT JOB RIHANNA!

[3sterWichser]

sounds not as powerfull as bob marley

[bmarl3y]

Why does she do this?! STOP!

[XxMissUmbrellaxX]

Shut UP!!!!!!

[liljaywonda]

it sounds good at some parts.. but others it sounds a bit too pop.. that just what i think.

[hannahboss9]

Rihanna, as much as i love you and want you as my wife - please don't do this again :(

[strengthofanox]

lol. it wasnt tht bad...

[missfashionpie15]

rihanna is NOT thee (B) word...she's the best punk biotch

[snekcidens]

yeah thats true.........one love to rihana and all jah people.jah bless you all

[borderhopper619]

someone please kill this bitch

[bobiba2009]

people she sing the song

like she want her voice cant sing reggae

but she have great voice

there is no one that can sing like bob

so she do it in her way!!

good song

[OnceUponATimeHero]

she doesn't understand what she sings

[cryz1000]

so sieht es aus...Bob Marley gejodelt..tsss

[jassmira]

she does. you might not but she does

[kknay]

sorry but it's too pop for this song, aweful!!!!

[boonaanaa]

i dont understand why people think its bad =S i think she sounds great

[Louiemonz]

Now this is better ;) Sounds good Rhianna. I like this one ;)

[terri2201]

Ya'll are such assholes...WOW. Give Credit where it is due she did a good job. DAMN. why yal gotta bitch about everything. for those of ya'll sayin that she didnt sing it like Bob...GUESS WHAT!!!?? She ain't him!!! Fuck man!! always sooo negative..but if she tried to imitate him ya'll would be callin her unoriginal and fake and swagga jacka and all kinda mess. She did herself and thats what an artist is supposed to do make the song their own and she did great so all of ya'll should just STFU!!!

[bsimmons8888]

She should sing like this more...

[YoditShikorina]

WHATEVR...you guys are haters..rihanna sounded great!

[fliizelol]

THE COMMENTS :

1. No song match for her..

2. but atleast she actually she helps robert to spread these songs further to all the people.. as she is also famous...

[agatttttttttt]

AWFUL !!!! I hate it

[totryabass]

Go listen to gary og's version of redemption song!!!!!!

[watevapoo]

This isnt half as bad as people are making it out to be. OK no one is gonna match bob marley when it comes to this song, but hey.. he is BOB MARLEY for shits sake!! She made a good job of it... but i gotta say lauren and ziggys version is amazing.

[mozillafirefox87]

shhhheeeeeeaaaa!!! lauryn hill and ziggy are the best omenage to the king this girl just messes it up

[jadenight0]

rihanna's voice sucks...no one is asking her to sing like bob marley..she sings like herself and it sucks

[TupacVideoz]

you fucking ruin this song.....fuck i really hate this bitch why . why . why.....and you dont even know the fucking words......

[deathgrowl666]

not again! WTF! LEAVE DECENT MUSIC ALONE!

[Choosen999]

very bad??

LOL

This is shit

she isn't match for this song.

Sorry for my english ;)

[Pas2Toi]

very bad sorry rihanna not a song for you

[Andtimecandosomuch]

Superficial

She focuses more attention to Her voice than words of the song ...

[66Brute]

this is the most atrocious thing i've ever heard.

The worst part is that she doesn't understand that she is taking a dump on bob marley's grave with these horrible covers.

[MrLoveMachine101]

I think its so funny how everyone on youtube think they are music professionals and try and say how a song should be sung. I'm just so proud that Rihanna picked a song she loved and sung it from the soul. Great job = ]

[cuteNsmartAMAZIN]

i completely agree, i think she did a good job, and her raspy voice and fluctuations make her unique

[G4BZZY]

best covers - rihanna's & lauryn hill's and ziggy marley's.

[anmllvr234]

why yall so mean about it..yall must really got some hate in yall hearts 4 this gurl..why so jealous and envious???

[grincevan]

I myself just like how she did this cover.But i dont believe in here when she sings the words.What she became now might be a problem to some pple.I dont even know what this song precisely tells but i think bobby whas quite against media wile she became one of the main media attractions.Acting as a sex simbol to make as much money as possible and telling little girls how to act(...).somthing that discusts me , as a fan of reggea movement .

Hope this helps you.

[Conefoeva]

you fucking ruin this song.....fuck i really hate this bitch why . why . why.....and you dont even know the fucking words......

[JakeViciousPB]

Goddamnit, I can't even SAY how much I hate her for what she did to that song...

[sonnygerd]

Nice cover..

[galle29101989]

terrible!

bob marley is much better

[Roxs90]

Bob Marley The Best No Question!!!

[AmhaReggae]

amen to that! Big up Rihanna - Rastafari is praying for you! Be safe and COME OUT OF hip hop BABYLON!

[rockboot45]

beautiful song...she really sanged.this song. she sound good...

[bikeguyyy]

Hey Bob Marley wanted his music to live on forever and look obviously it still is i bet he would happy about people covering songs

[grincevan]

Sounds good , but when i c what she became ... i cant belive she means any meaning of the song ...

[artempolo]

true that bro

[adikhan1212]

wow she covered another bob marley song....great.

[bombardmentvideos]

you guys chris didnt do that damage it was lies he said himself hes going to counsling

[mattkiller1313]

her jaw is broke

[anniee345]

why are you lot even listening to the cover artists cover the song to appreciate it and how good the origional artist was so why dont we all jsut listen to the best version that was dont by bob marley and show our appreciation in that way

[bigredmarx]

"cuz all i ever had!" that part hits me so hard. pure magic. bob marley is beyond genius.

[CrunchsterXX2]

The real reason why chris brown beat her up o.0

[ameilx]

thats mean :C

[genomehed]

Not too bad. It was actually not as bad I thought it was going to be. Simplicity was needed though. She needs to hold back on the oooooh's and yeaheeeyah's. But emotion in her voice made it kinda pretty.

[shaheeramalinga]

wow !

this gives me goospumps everytime i hear it !

excellent job Rihanna !

wow

so much emotionn

[afrodivoire]

BAAAAAAD SO BAAAAAAAAD

[tongeliyah]

everybody needs to leave this song as is. especially pink...wat would she know about bondage and slavery?

[iamthegaffa]

prob quite a bit about bondage lol

[tongeliyah]

lol...yea. Rihanna too. u see them outfits she used to wear...all she needed was a whip

[fr4ma]

I don't like her version...elisa's or pink's ones are so much better than this!

[Lunarmeltingpot]

THIS IS ILLEGAL

[CHA0SBLEEDS]

nah, you can feel the emotion when she sings it. this came from her heart. I don't like rihanna but see did a good job.

[SonOsmanliSerap]

this is sooooooo coool sooo sweeet!!!!

I love her voice it is kinda different not usual...u dont have to compare her voice with beyonce lauren etc. this is rihanna and u have to decide if this cover was good or not.

And i think it was perfect!!

[lovelyleticia27]

lauryn hill needs to be singng this song right now because i saw her in jamaica looking like a crack head.

[anniee345]

can i just say to publivia wat the fuck! "da best version of dis song was done by Lauren Hill" er no have u never heard of bob marley! wat the fuck u on about

[bigredmarx]

NO! NO! NO! Lauryn hill and Ziggy did the best COVER of this song. Of course the original version done by bob Marley is the best.

[ameilx]

omg i agree i love lauryn hill and ziggy marleys version is the best cover ever but we love bob marley never replaced

x

[Runningmayfairs]

Rihanna should never be compared to a legend like Bob. But you cant deny she sung this beautifully. x

[CrazyFistProductions]

totally agree witchu

[redlightxgreenlight]

wow. she was amazing in this. she can sing really well.

[cheynemerenia]

i rekon this is mean waht are you other people on about?

[toupitoupi2003]

Not even close to da original song sung by bob..

[Publivia]

As a proud Jamaican, my heart bleeds! Let riri and her bajan self stay in barbados and sing bajan songs coz i seen how she already destroyed a beenie man song, now she wanna go and do Bob! WTF!!

[WrathOfTheLickKing]

It wasnt bad at all. :)

I like her voice color.

[camking88]

Publivia u r crazy! Rihanna did this very well. as a die hard rihanna fan i disagree u didnt say nothin wen lauryn hill did it and i think that rihanna did it better and she definitely didnt kill the beenie man song r u on crack.

ps dont even bother replying back to this account because this is my brothers.

if you want 2 reach me mine iz rebel2179. holla!

[Publivia]

Send this msg to ur brother rebel2179. LAUREN HILL CAN ACTUALLY SING!!!!!! LAUREN KILLED IT AND SO DID ALICIA!!! AND AS FOR BEENIE.... DON'T EVEN LET ME GO THERE! RIRI NEEDS TO GO AND GET SOME VOCAL LESSONS BEFORE SHE EVEN THINKS ABOUT SINGING CLASSINC AND LEGENDARY SONGS SUCH AS THIS!

[camking88]

i said that not my brother, i'm rebel2179 using my brother camking88's account. get it right. my bro likes lauryn hill and i do 2 but she didnt do it like rihanna. and i never said lauryn hill couldn't sing. and fyi last time i checked rihanna still had a career unlike some people(lauryn hill)
