shes a recording artist, her voice is her selling point. she can sing, its just alot of her live performances require alot of dancing and boy does she move!
@jameltanderson Her absolute best! And I'm a hardcore Beyonce fan. You know the kind that tells Riri fans where to get off? Thats me! But Rated-R was not only her finest work, but perhaps one of the best albums in recent years.
Love this mixup of all these songs! i am a 13 year old who loves music and did a cover on it so it would mean so much for someone to watch it. Thanks :)
You may think so BUT she isn't. The original (the track she would be playing) is not this one. The timing, notes, etc. It is all different then the original. Listen to the original (the one played on the radio) and this one. You can tell they are COMPLETELY different. :)
somebody said that she's not Beyonce vocals ability....no way..!!Rihanna's voice...God!!so grooovy!! so bluesy..!!she's amazing!(sorry for my english..)
At the beginning, I thought she was gonna sing 'Best Thing I Never Had' by Beyonce. Hahaha. I can't believe she used to be able to sing live like this. Go back to this level, Rihanna!
She can sing amazing here, She dont sing her faster songs very good though.
Shes no Beyonce vocalist but she still is very good. Thats what fans need to understand, she has a unique style and distinctive voice and can actually sing
Rihanna can obviously sing but her her mainstream pop singles such as Only Girl, We Found Love, Cheers and You Da One dont show her vocal ability. But ballads like Russian Roulette, Cold Case Love, California King Bed and Take A Bow show her strengths.
sometimes you're a ROCKSTAR. it's really HARD to make a MAN DOWN. you make feel like the ONLY GIRL (IN THE WORLD). how many RUDE BOY did you found. .WE FOUND LOVE in Hollywood. YOU DA ONE for me 4ever.
She needs to capture people more like she through her music here. Great version of this song as well! Part of her has been lost in the Dance music industry, restrain her!!! Go back to RATED R and GOOD GIRL GONE BAD music, is epic!!
@BlueMoonnGz The only thing they auto tune is clarity so it sounds HQ on video. They don't auto tune the sound for her to sound better. Get your facts straight :)
I'm very impressed!!! I have to admit I doubted she could sing well live. But .... I see that she is really a very good singer. I love the timbre of her voice.
Rihanna sing really well in her AOL session! This song sound verry good! And the BAND is crazy!! I'd love to play in a band like that, they seem to have a great time play in this live session!
People are going to hate regardless. I always knew she could sing live. Love her. Her voice is unique, and so is her style. That's why she has TWENTY top tens. lol!
What's all the fuss about this being such a wonderful performance? I do believe there were no filters or editing employed, that's the reason why she dodged the higher-notes at the bridge. Didn't sound as good as my bathroom-singing. Very mediocre.
@PIERAN68 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Gurl, people DON'T and CAN'T even playback on AOL sessions. Bye.
the reason why she sound bad in some other videos, like in the x factor live show, its cause she DANCES and SINGS at the same time, and don't forget she has to keep in mind how the performance is, and the text, and the many cameras, that are really confusing sometimes, i can tell by my own experience, and here in this video, she is sitting and sing, and she sound great, cause it's not live, it's not with a dancing performance, and she is sitting, that's a huge difference!
@shellysto why should i excuse xD i just tell my opinion, i dont care if others think she is a bad singer, i like her anyways, and what others say, i never cared about it anyway. oO
@icedood3000 I noticed that as well, but it's not autotune. I've used autotune before and it wouldn't be that subjective to just appear there. And if they had a strict policy against filters, why would she be able to use it? And if you use autotune live, it sounds REALLY obvious.
@icedood3000 I have to agree. You can tell when the auto tune corrects the note cause there's no sliding in to the notes. Still a good perf but Pink, Beyonce etc don't need Auto Tune.
I dont understand haters... They always try to accuse a brilliant famous singer of not having talent, when they find out the singer does, they just say its not all that. Youve never heard a voice like Rihanna's. Precisely why shes such an amazing singer. She has a voice like no other, so gone with that bullshit that shes not a great vocalist. Like you actually know shit about shit.. Keep telling yourself that youre a better singer, cuz thats the only way youre gonna hear it
P.S she looks gorgeouss looka how those legs turn into an ass. wooooh!
