Rihanna - X Factor - Russian Roulette Performance 2009

[MsTreysongz1]

this is terrible .. my ears

[heybb0]

her voice is ... not stable

[ThePianosarah]

I think she or rather her voice had a bad day, but that is simply realistic and human

[mrdeveta1]

i thought this show was new. when did it start?

[kbieberful1]

@mrdeveta1 it just started in America

[missp050279]

@LUCKYmomentsx3 thank u ..ya geek !! x

[missp050279]

@LUCKYmomentsx3 beyonces a fat fuck

[BlahBlahBlah13623]

@missp050279 she's pregnant ..

[missp050279]

@BlahBlahBlah13623 no shit sherlock x



[TheXXxLeOnArDxXx]

idiots this is very hard song....shut up if u dont know music...

[pussylicious44]

@TheXXxLeOnArDxXx yea and I've seen people on youtube singing it waaay better than she just did.....

[hedwig2408]

I DON'T ike Rihanna and I haven't seen many live performances of her BUT comparing this as a singer myself to the studio video version or this as a single vocal performance she did a good job most of the time. I don't now whats wrong with you. Either you have no idea of the vocal difficulties in the song or can sing much better than her. I've heard much worse at least it's not lip sync.

[Slimshadyfcb]

God damn..... I like rihanna but live she sucks... I think now only Bruno Mars can sing live f*cking awesome.. True talnet

[PeggySue207]

sometimes she's good live, sometimes not.. but she really has a good voice i have to admit it

[aprilselena9667]

watch the german x-factor version of this song sung by edita... its SO much better!!!

[NightQueenXXX]

I cant believe that she got to be a famous singer with such a common voice

[TheCapricorndiva07]

@NightQueenXXX i know right its not strong at all looks gets you far if you dont have a voice smh lol

[AlwaysUniqq]

Please come check my cover of Take a bow by Rihanna!!! :)) Just uploaded yesterday! Thanks guys, LOVE YOU RIHANNA!!!

[onlinebabeful]

GREAT SINGER-SHE'D DEFFINATELY WIN ANY X-FACTOR COMPETITION.

[JanKuzela]

i think that she can sing live

[Samsa010]

she cant sing live deal with it !!!

[MsCarpetbagger]

she can sing on slow tunes;some of her other performances on x factor sucked big time

[hsg2012]

@RobynFentyFan22 sry to break it to you yes she has...and since you're a "true" fan you will say that :P

[chamari1998]

She sounds good. SHe just has trouble hitting the high notes. But overall she sounds AMAZING!!!

[chamari1998]

I really don't care what anybody says! She sounds amazing! Her voice has an accent and it's unique which makes her special. I really don't understand how she's sounds bad.

[ChristineDaae3]

she is amazing, I adore her voice..God bless her.

[swimmem]

Hey, she can sing a lot better then ME... and probably you too :O

[GOOOGOOODANCEGIRL]

Bad singer...

[FutureAssasin99]

You Guys Blame Her If She Cant Sing The High Notes Live.......If I Was A Singer, I Wouldnt Be Able To That Either. Cause Sometimes Your Voice Might Scratch If You Try To Hit Those Pesky High Notes....And Its Live....You Cant Change It....So You Haters Need To Shut Up And And Dont Hate...... Appreciate.

[pintzmintz1989]

I dont care. She sing pretty good live.

[Eliamarie09]

i love you rihanna



[RadiateLove1997]

sometimes she sounds good live & sometimes awful... i don't know xd

[hsg2012]

her voice has improved so much and its a lot better :)

[GagalittleMonsterify]

WOOOOOOOOOOOW HER VOCALS HAS EXPANDED LOOK AT HER PERFORMANCES NOW FROM HER LOUD SONGS SHE HITS HIGH NOTES WITHOUT EVEN STRUGGLING

[TheBaartas]

Everyone have worse day sometimes.

[TeDDyTV93]

giiiiirrrrrrl keep trying

[LeTitiTube17]

I always believed that she made of the playback but now I know that she's a really good singer !!! I LOVE

[hsg2012]

@LeTitiTube17 she use to use playback but she has trained her voice now so she doesnt need it anymore :)

[reyruben619]

Shes isnt bad when she sings it different

[MrJDurao]

Damn...weak... :/

[ChristineDaae3]

One of the main things I love her for is her voice, it is very special, she is very talented..She deserves the admiration and respect that she gets.

[ashle120]

wtf,she has a great voice in this video. it sounds almost exactely like the recorded version.

[darkwoodmovies]

@ashle120 She doesn't hit a lot of the notes, but yes she does sound decent... better than most of her other live performances, at least. Then again, singing isn't all about hitting the right notes, which is a too-common misconception.

[veroglam99]

wonderful song e wonderful voice.......rihanna i love yuo!!!!

[tigerlilx]

She's terrible live, and she has a very shrill voice, but people love her for more than her voice.. Clearly..

[karana808]

Does anybody else want famous singers to get in disguise and have them audition on american idol or x factor?

I wanna see how far they get

lol

[thomas91793]

@karana808 queing up for an hour to get into the industry ( x factor, american idol) is not the only way. At least famous singers dont need all the mentoring and enter a competition toget a record deal and blame judges for a bad song choice!

[biggeorge1405]

@karana808 , i think that would be cool, at least lets see hw far they can get in a competition..

[silvinha516]

That would end so many careers!!!!!!!!! It would definitely be entertaining! LOL

[Sakura0Kimono12]

come on don't comment things like she is bad at singing since she is not i am not her biggest fan but i think she better than other people in the world. if u don't like then don't watch this since there are lots of worse artists in the world..

[TheJOEtimmer]

SHE IS SO ADORABLE... BETTER THAN THE RED HAIR... :'(

[DiamondClutch11]

why does she sound bad live...?????????

[vvvunikmartins]

@DiamondClutch11 bcuz she aint a great singer!!! simple.....great singers do live better then studio trust me!!! she sucks big time doing live is fuckin painfull and makes me want ma money back !!!!!

[DiamondClutch11]

@vvvunikmartins OOO that sounds true lol but i still kinda like her i just dont like it when she sings live.

[LalakingDarna]

She wasn't the best singer. She can sing but not that great. Can you compare her to Mariah Carrey, Kelly Clarkson. Celine Dion, Beyonce? She is out of their league....

[msrihannahard]

her voice is amazingg

[yasminkakka]

she is fucking amazing

[Kekskindlol]

Listening 2 the taped version of this song i'd say she is one of the best if not THE best female singer on earth, but listening 2 the live version...shame on her...

[deathrightknight]

So she wasn't subjected to bullshit shows like these that are watched by children voters, she came up the proper way and yet she's no good? You people are backwards lol.

[JayNo26]

She sounds pretty good live ! her voice is so powerful and strong .

[AliceNLaurensVideos]

I think she's actually kind of good...

[TheBeast21x]

fk off haters.she have amazing voice.can u sing better?

[Nicolesuarez54]

idk i like how she sings live

[dancodrean01]

worst voice ever...

[rakeliwes]

los cd's muy xulos, los videoclips tb....pero en directo... no vale un duro

[bandstand2]

whats the problem with her?,,,she can sing better live than most of the singers in the world today -_-! RIHANNA IS AWESOME

[MrAlex892]

At least she's 100 times better than Cheryl Cole

[marabou15]

@MrAlex892 Being better than Cheryl Cole doesn't make her good though. She's still not a good live performer.

[zoemars1]

I actually think she did a pretty good job, I don't see a problem... -.-

[Celeste242]

that song is timeless

[TheParomaniac]

she can sing i know she can just not maybe right there but she can sing really well live

[molliebohhx]

haters fuck off, RIHANNA IS AMAZING! #RihannaNavy

[Andrea191091]

For all those who say rihanna is a bad singer I tell you not understand anything about music

[MsPortistaaa]

She's even better Live! FY haters!

[Ultraviolight]

I've heard worse than Rihanna before

xox

[effikoegberi]

rihanna playing russian roulette

[TheParomaniac]

Rihanna is amazing and anyon ewho says she can't sing live I'd love to see you sing better than her you .... she can sing and live she is amazing and you're just jealous:

girls who say she's awful, bad, etc..:. it's because you're jealous that you aren't her 'cause she is amazing...

Boys who say she's awful, bad, etc..: it's because she's is way out of your leaguye and are just frustrated you can't get her... So all u f***ers out there can go f*** yourselves

[TheKristyfication]

@TheParomaniac I love Rihanna but try to be realistic. Compare to Beyonce or Alicia Keys, She isn't good enough when she sings live. We're not Haters or "F***ers" as you say , everyone can criticise and say what they want.

Stop insulting please and respect all opinions.

I'm a real fan of Rihanna.

[XxLakomkaXx]

@TheKristyfication its not ok to call her a bad singer,write everywhere bad comments and compare her to other singers! you´r right she sings well, but as everyone knows internet has got great influence on peoples mind and so on her carrier. doesnt matter what video u search for, first comment u will read: oh man she cant sing live at all!. u may think peaple invite her to their shows just to show that she cant sing,whats not true. as her Real fan you should have noticed this.

[lilbearlizz]

@madrussiangirl1205 Russian Roulette is a game you play with a gun, there is 6 blank shots and one of them has a bullet giving you 1/6 chances to be lucky or to die, and you don't know when you'll die. The song is about taking chances in love, just like you take a chance playing the game. you play it with a revolver.

[hemersongazzoli]

linda...

[hannibanni2007]

omg shes so bad my sister is better than her!!!!!!

[ShawnSB22]

@hannibanni2007 stfu

[hannibanni2007]

@ShawnSB22 why should i shut up???? She is bad when she sings live but her computer voice is wat is sold for millionaires!!!!! She is only shit and shes bad!!! And if someone says shes good he hadnt heart her live!!!

[MultiMikymouse]

horrible... she had to learn...horrible

[taye709]

LMFAOOOOOOO !!! haunny stick to recording

[MrCraighill]

i think this is one of her best proformaces

[Dragonx523]

Im pretty sure the judges gave her a standing ovation just cause she is Rihanna

[smoochumstar]

Sucks shit! She is soooo bad live....uuggghhh......

[MultiMikymouse]

[ShawnSB22]

@MultiMikymouse hater

[ShawnSB22]

[girlinthemirror203]

@smoochumstar shes amazing!

[jTever08]

@smoochumstar She sings good live and no matter what people say, for sure you got nothing on her because haters are just piece of shit.

[No1GrandTheftAutoFan]

@smoochumstar At least she's live unlike Cheryl Cole, Britney Spears who mimed when they were on X-Factor init?

[Endriking]

@smoochumstar can you compare this to a Leona Lewis performance live on the x factor?

[ZeynepViyana]

@smoochumstar - you call this a bad live performance. maybe it´s not the best but i think you haven´t seen REALLY bad acts in your life, or?

[alenys]

@smoochumstar 'cause she doesn't have a good voice, it's all done in the studio...

[ichliebedich757]

@smoochumstar  jesssss

[TheCapricorndiva07]

@smoochumstar you gotta be kidding me this was trash

[honeypassionboss]

we can say what ever but this girl has already mad it so she could care less who thinks she can sing or not do your thing riri

[AAArie1303]

people who said she cant sing are wrong.. the sound of her voice is something you like or you dont like.its not of tune or anything.. and she's not half naked i've seen mutch worse..and yeah she is famous all over the world and thats a fact.. im not a fan ether but she isnt bad

[annalimax93]

.......

that´s all I can say ..

people do actually pay money for this??

[vasiader]

eww, her voice is just horrible. she's on stage half naked to distract you from her voice

[xMusicAndRs]

Listen if you're a girl and want to get famous like Rhianna, just get half naked, with a nice body, and you will get there. I mean she has a terrible voice, but she just gets naked. Simple.

[superAweber]

i saw this performance before I saw the video or heard the recorded song. at the time i though this was a terrible-sounding, disorganized song. i couldn't even work out where the chorus was. then later i saw the video which shows an amazing vocal performance and great song. she's not the best live singer.

[rima110]

To people saying she did good here...go look at actual singers before you say that shit

[CoolTotss]

sexy chick

[H99Bieber]

RIRI I love you!!!!!!!!!

[beckalla4]

Thumb up if you came to see Rihanna SHot Herself

[Petanecak]

I noticed, that she doesn´t ´ve a bra..?!

[misssouly]

she can sing yes,

but if she wasnt famous yet and shed have an audition for xfactor,

i dont think shed win

[DevonSawaFan]

@misssouly Shes to talented for shit like the xfactor anyway.

[esmaelhbr]

@misssouly lol plz



[PORTIA306]

@misssouly and thats why everyone has his or her own destined ways of becoming famous.....the door that works for someone might not work for the other....

[molliebohhx]

@misssouly she would of if i was voting...

[shaked2222]

she reminds me of Adam Lambert here

[Krimi1211]

wow. strong voice. wow.

[SiisalFTW]

the new justin bieber ;D look at that hair xD

[ZZ0mBi33]

@SiisalFTW Lmfao i thought the same thing xD

[95JESSiii]

@SiisalFTW

this video is from 2009 , ;) :D

[Bebevv]

I can only imagine Sara singing this song... it would make the song so much more meaningful

[gioia900]

what is this, cant she sing live?

[brelta]

she's not even moving at the beginning and she's pitchy...wtf?!

[123734qwertyuiop]

loads of people say she sounds horrible, well at least shes not miming, and it its a hard song to sing, i think shes amazing

[Bebevv]

@123734qwertyuiop shes good, shes no where near amazing... have you herd Sara Ramirez?? Theirs a girl that deserves a record deal and this kind of fame!

[dilqna100]

Yeess!!! I love x factor !!

[AlayMico]

Ha loved it .

[ChristineDaae3]

gave me goosebumps..

[totlbabi101]

the only reason she was writing super sad songs was because of that stupid Chris Brown team Rihanna all the way!!!!

[itsMauriceCassidy]

1:42 BAAAAAD LOL!

[itsMauriceCassidy]

this song from the album 'rated r' was well depressing.

These songs are really dark but I love them.

Loud is so different now which is her latest album, I blame Chris Brown for depressing her on this song.

[ohmygad1994]

the course is awful :P but the rest is kinda good

[TheJaninos]

I think is good , maybe very good . !!!

[MrChris89800]

j'adore

[balletboy666]

not one part of this was in tune. it's a shame. shes good on disk...

[Paky391]

** adorooo

[TheDiego1800]

Rihanna I love you is not shit xd

[Swaqettz]

you are good ok rihana i like your music

[Hiphopisdead1992]

hmm i actually liked this performance now lets see if i cn find another one -_-

[barretd11]

what is this song called?

[SmashGurls4evr]

@barretd11 russian roulette

[adaluzy]

@barretd11 russian roulette

[EliLaura1994]

103 people dislike this.

dis i like.

[armnianfan]

Rebecka black sings bether live 0.0

[MrsGA223]

The "You can see my heart" sounds a bit wrong, doesn't it ? U_u

But I'm still love this song =)

[MillicentDionne]

Rihanna sounds great here. I think Rated R is her best album so far because it's very personal and kind of dark but not completely dark. She really showed her vulnerability on it and she should have made a vid for "Photographs" featuring will.i.am. That was my fave song on it.

[anaLilianx3]

hammer stimme hat sie

[sunshine67693]

i love her-----shes great

[MsRihanna13]

thank you everyone for posting comments im rihana and follow your dreams

[SwissDonutFactory]

@MsRihanna13 haha sure. oh and btw im jesus.

[KellszzDiamond]

@MsRihanna13

I don't think that Rihanna is 14, right? (':

[TheUnfaithful1991]

MA è STONATAAAAAAAAAAAA

[alexesh5]

Like her!!

[happygirlygirl101]

shes one of the best singers who sings live out of the whole of the pop industry :) gotta love riri xx

[TheLounolan]

She can sing, its just they auto-tune her strong Caribbean accent, which is demonstrated through her live performance. She can sing, and did a pretty good job at this really hard song.

[TheWelwicha]

bt she needs a bra though -___-

[TheWelwicha]

I think rihanna suits these kinda tunes better...she has that kinda tone to her voice

[madzhester]

she has a voice and a half.

[djbannis]

Yes she can sing, but there are so many better singers out there at the moment. As the comment below says, Adele and Beyonce for example.

[alyradia]

Ok so she can sing. But there are much better singers like Adele and Beyonce. END OF ARGUMENT.

[Jsouthward2010]

i love rihanna, but cmon.. this is pretty awful?

[Imanitta]

@Jsouthward2010 i agree!

[poulaxd]

oh my eaars

[yuukacz]

unbeliavably unclean

[anacpnobrega]

Rihanna should not have a powerfull voice, but is still a great singer and a great performer.

[ozzttb29]

@anacpnobrega 'Rihanna should not have a powerfull voice'... and why is this? jealousssss!

[anacpnobrega]

@ozzttb29 Noo, at all. What I'm saying is that she must not have a voice like beyonce or Adele, like, POWERFULL. but she is still an amazing artist. I love rihanna, she is one of my inspirations. DUH LOL

[ozzttb29]

@anacpnobrega my bad, read it wrong haha

[anacpnobrega]

@ozzttb29 no problem haha

[candelious]

she cant sing for shit
