[242622BB]

talent is talent...doesn't matter if you're in front of 5 people or 5 million. Definitely not the best vocalist of all time or her time even but talented in her own right. Get it rih!

[yelloke2006]

Rihsus

[DatBabiiGigi231]

when she does live performances, it sounds pitchy sometimes maybe because she's nervous, but here shes having fun and comfortable ...ha it sounds so good !

[TheStarr850]

[bridgetstar08]

[TLowgurl92]

[funkycutehappy]

[jamaicanbarbiee91]

ii watch this everyday !! beautiful

[sexylexi893]

wtf happen to this voice...this is when she was angelic...now she is a bloodsucking bitch...i miss this rihanna

[Flatbush2258]

It's funny how after watching this video, people's argument switches from "...well, it's not that strong..."

This generation is sad in the fact that everyone has to have a voice that BELTS to be considered a singer.

& I'm of this generation.

If you listen to old school music - there were so MANY DIFFERENT ARTISTS. This generation likes to ACT as though they APPRECIATE something UNIQUE, but you/they/it categorizes everything. Beyonce has become the VOCAL spokesperson because she can BELT.

[Flatbush2258]

@Flatbush2258 Don't get me wrong - she has TREMENDOUS vocal talent, but I don't want to hear someone that can BELT all the time... I mean people go as far as to relate Beyonce to Brandy, whose voice has a whole different style and approach to it.

That's like relating Rose Royce to Whitney Houston. You wouldn't dare! TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TYPES of VOICES! Or Mariah Carey to Tina Turner! Though, while you wouldn't RELATE them, you could LOVE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM & RESPECT IT.

Not

[Flatbush2258]

@Flatbush2258 every singer is going to be a BELTER. Marvin Gaye had the most SOFT and MELODIC voice, & then you listen to Eddie Levert of the O'jays. Strong and rough, but also just as MOVING.

Thus, to conclude my postS: Rihanna can sing. You've seen the proof - no her voice isn't as STRONG but it serves the PURPOSE for the songs and STYLE in which SHE SINGS. Respect the difference in artists, since this generation claims to EMBRACE "UNIQUENESS".

P.S. However, she does need to work on her

[Flatbush2258]

@Flatbush2258 CONSISTENCY. With VOCAL COACHING however, she would be powerful. Her voice has this ACOUSTIC ring to it... Something EDGY, yet soothing.

If you think this sounds nice - Listen to her "Rehab Pepsi Smash Performance" or "Redemption SOng CHARITY EVENT" (because she didn't give it her all on Oprah).

LOL; That is all..!

[ofekR]

she really know how to sing i love her :)

[rianrobot]

but watch the video (hero) in the sidebar of her singing and it proves otherwise lmao

[IvyPervan]

wow she sounds amazing!! <3

[TheRihannaFan1000]

AMAZING!!!!

I love you RIHANNA!!!!!!!!

[darroljerome]

she can blow I LOVE hER! so this proves it.

[yeezyfan23]

wat happened to this?

[lujke456]

I looove this video : )

[italylovesriri]

wow beautiful voice..so cool when they sing together..

LOVE IT!!!!!! AND LOVE RIHANNA!!!!!!!

[mssadistic1]

She's pretty okay...but her voice doesn't blow me away..neither do her performances or dancing. But She's beautiful, wears her clothes well, and everyone loves her. So, whether she has much talent at all, she's still going to make millions...which isn't fair.

[idealsweetlove]

@mssadistic1 co-sign

[CBlover332]

she can sing, but her voice doesnt really phase me alot, but i love her song breakin dishes!

[89cosmo]

she sounds okay. she can hold some notes, but she sounds as though she sings through her throat. i don't know if i'm right because i know nothing of singing, but her voice doesn't sound strong.

[pinkorangesoda]

I like this better then the actual song

[homiep543]

she really sounds exactly like record here, which i love because she doesn't make herself seem like a much better singer than she really is.

[dadreamzworld]

@homiep543 As long as shes pretty and she sound ok is all it takes huh?

[Blankname101]

ladydipset88 Stop the devil nonsense!!!Show the contact she signed....can't fine it,then let it go.Anyways this was good.

[ladydipset88]

Look how nice and innocent she looks here. I cant believe she worships the devil now..smh

[femmefatalep3]

She sounds exactly like she does on the CD! I commend her for that.

I still don't like her voice very much. It's still boring in my opinion.

[ZenannM]

i second that..not hating, shes a satanic devil worshipper..but her voice is just ordinary..not special enough to spend money on a cd. Id def limewire a song or two though..(gosh im horrible)

[SRCFAN08]

this is for all the haters and skeptics who say she can't sing, here's proof she gotta voice and talent.

[ShardeSTaylor]

She's got a voice and I have respect for Rihanna but her voice isn't good enough for me to ever buy her Cd or a ticket to see her perform. At least I know it's not studio equipment that's helping her out. What you hear is what you get with her. That's good.

[idealsweetlove]

@ShardeSTaylor agreed

[CHATTIE32]

the girl has chops, wonder why everybody says that she can't sing which i thought that was kinda weird because jay-z signed her himself and you know dude only wants greatness

[TheTmc279]

I agree! I love Rihanna!! wooohooo

[ZenannM]

because shes fliping GORGEOUS! sex sell!

[dadreamzworld]

@CHATTIE32 Lets be honest, you and I know for a fact, that we have heard hundreds of ppl that would floor her and you know they have her there because she's an attention grabber there was absolutely nothing special about this and I'm not hating I just know talent and this isn't talent worth going crazy for.

[CHATTIE32]

@dadreamzworld never said that she was the greatest singer ever or even the greatest right now but what i couldn't understgand was how ppl would say she was just like the worst singer ever and i didn't get that when i saw her on this video, no shes no Aretha i get that but to say she just horrible, no, i don't think so and yes there are thousands of ppl that can really sang that will never get the chance that she got i know that but she is better thantKeri Hilson, Ciara (voice wise), B Spears

[dadreamzworld]

@CHATTIE32 Rihanna was singing in front of about how many people that day singing? Think about this, when she is on stage in front of about lets say 1000 ppl you can't compare her singing infront of 10 ppl to 100 ppl. When she is on stage she doesn't put it together as well as she did here. That wasn't even nothing to pedestalize her over Keri Hilson, and I don't even like her. Rihanna is just from a Caribean Island and thats what got everyone ticking.

[CHATTIE32]

@dadreamzworld ok, u win, im done, i refuse to go back and forth about an artis that im not a fan of beyond hair and fashion, was just pointing out that she didn't sound as bad as ppl make her out to sound, so not own a Rihanna cd, and was not pedestalizing her, ok, so enjoy your music life because i am enjoying mine

[dadreamzworld]

@CHATTIE32 I wasn't trying to argue, I was just trying to get you to look at the picture at a broader prospective. I was just saying its like someone singing in their shower and someone hear them they will sound good as long as they know theres no one listening. Have a good one.xD

[Blankname101]

@CHATTIE32 People just wanna find a reason to hate her,so they see her at times when she sings bad,but never note the times she sings good,so no worries.The fact is she can sing.

[ashtynluhvsmirmnlivi]

this reminds me of me and my friends :)

[0Carliita]

how old was she ??????????????

[Nekeyahs15]

I agree with WillowPuff, I always knew Riri could sing, even though everybody was like she can't sing. I hope one day that she & Chris do get back together, because they seemed so in love and they were so cute and I hope she also does more ballads that compliment her voice, don't get me wrong, I love her upbeat songs, but I want to hear more ballads from her.

[sksballer]

this is a good video

tht right there proves she can sing

[meboobrat]

she definatley has vocals but she sings out her nose

[bunkela]

agreed!

[sheleah101490]

awesome....

[willowpuff]

This song almost forsees her relationship with Chris Brown...

[somethingrite]

i have to strongly agree with you it does actually

[1blessedONE]

all the hataz who say she cant sing needs to see this clip cuz Rhianna CAN obviosly sing....and with no music at that...love her
