Rihanna-Hero (when she was 15 years old)

[pumdog82]

that was shit !

[1keabeast]

hot ass 15 year old

[TheJchris16]

she had a real problem with high notes in this video and even to this day her high notes are still quite weak... still love her though!!!!!!!!!!!

[Andrea215ify]

i think she did amazing , the reason it sound kinda bad cause the person who recorded this quality sucks!!!

[kaytherockers]

btw i looked it up she was not 15 she was 19 thank you very much!!

[qazxswec123450]

@kaytherockers haha, dont think so, she sang pon de replay when she was 17 and was already rihanna by then, so or it to say robyn she has to be younger, plus superstars dont perform at schools or whatever the fuck it is, atleast you tried i guess

[JoeGrindSpacely]

@kaytherockers LOL She was already a superstar by 19...idiot. When she did Good GIrl Gone Bad she was 20.

[bradleykelly]

So nasal. Ew... nothing has changed

[RealHadden]

Damn i c she got madd haters on here ctfu ! I think she can really sing but if she cant sing to yall at least she not dissing anybody on a youtube comment she maken money either way can sing or not ! So y yall mad..

[crystals386]

Omg she's actually wearing a pretty dress, and now showing her cleavage. Impressed.

[jazminestryder]

It saddens me to see how much singers let the stupid rich people influence them and tell them who to be. :(

[kellezie]

nice

[FreakinnConfused]

She always had has the gift of voice.

To anyone who is saying she sounds crap here or its really bad then you need to know...training your voie is difficult. Yeah, she hit some bad notes and struggled with higher pitches but she was still learning and was much better than pretty much any 15 year old girl at singing. Training your voice is just as hard, maybe harder than learning an instrument.

To be honest, I wish she was still this sweet. It suits her better.

[AndreyAraujoo]

Cary

[raiane572]

Melhor que a própria mariah cary rs

[SandraBieberBeatty]

i still think she sings awesome...........

[chrisbrown123ismine]

this was good but her vioce start cracking a little but she got better .....

[jthuyle]

she sounds the same... horrible.

[ThisIsTaylerful]

Well. She still sounds... good.

[operamusicfan]

So this is what her voice sounds like without the autotune.

[dairiusfisher]

She needs a little help but she has a gud voice

[Peetibee]

she sounds the same to me

[nzaragoza7]

I'm not sure how she was able to get a record deal...

[msricang]

She should've chosen a different song. But it was decent. (:

[davidalexander1966]

sorry but this is nothing on withney, no competition..

whitney was the best

[SAIDON92]

so many blind fans here lol

[heyshutupyeah]

people are dumb. she's actually really good at singing. she's not the worst, but she's absolutely amazing.

[starlitsky222]

This song just isn't fit for her voice. I think she's an awesome singer. I sound like crap singing certain songs and sound good with others. Love you RiRi!!

[aedgar30]

She sound ok,

[glowsmusic]

Proves that vocal lessons work!!!

[warewolf140]

we all started somewhere.

[crazy4corbinbleux]

Soo.. if someone with this kind of voice can make it this far into the industry, being one of the most successful women artists of our time-- I have hope I can (no scratch that) I have hope ANYONE can make it.

[iGotThatHoboSwagg]

her real name is Robyn Fenty? thought it was Rhianna! :o No wonder she asks "what's my name?"

[wildparrot]

@iGotThatHoboSwagg if you search rihanna on google or smtng u'll see that her real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty,,

[DaniYO1993]

She actually doesnt soun d that bad

[pyrojds]

nasty recording, sounds good tho

[FireflyFanatic3]

wow... nasal much?

[Marillo21]

I cried :')

[Carlitipi]

Por qué buenas cantantes se venden ante el mercado de la música envasada?

[OHannanaO1o]

can someone tell me why there are 2.728 dislikes??

[rosswoof]

@OHannanaO1o probably because she tries to sing by adding extra syllables into words in order to make up for her inability to sing properly like a trained artist. It also sounds like the noise is coming out of her nose - but ultimately its not her fault because a whole genre of female singers have built carries by doing the same, thus confusing the younger generations that its ok to do this so long as you look attractive and we can slap a label on it.

[Shazeen82]

Woaaa PEAEY PEAVEY PEAVEY.... who the fuck cares this bjiatch xD

[coolkatzlolpopchanel]

love ay riri keep singin till were al dead

[eska040455]

Rihanna you are super!!!!

[Pastry528]

She Actually won this Talent show . So i would say its pretty good.

[operamusicfan]

@Pastry528 Wow, imagine what the rest were like *horrified*

[AlinaVov]

it's nice)

she's very cute and she's trying very hard...

[bcarbonate]

its*

[bcarbonate]

the song is just so much too strong for her :) but it okay :)

[godair222]

the beginning was alright...the first minute...then she should have stopped! She was a great sport!!!

[thatreviewgirl]

@godair222 it was better than alright.

[1800G3tPwn3d]

@godair222 lol shes 15, and now shes making millions, nyukka plz....

[soufwesthoustontx]

@godair222 She was 15.

[MalevolentxMaiden]

Good song, she can sing but that isn't the right song for her. She sounds very nasally.

[JadaLovesJacob]

she is really talented , guys also remember its 10 times harder to sing well when you have an accent , or from somewhere else . Or even speak another language , give her a break , she prolly sounds better then half of you (:

[daweed993]

small tits xD

[christianotelo]

relax..she was 15..!

[MrJnapkid]

@christianotelo Charice just turned 16 in this Video give it a listen....16-Year Old Charice - Hit Man: David Foster & Friends

[gothic1chick]

she cracked alot , this is horrible.

[smashyogirl]

Sounds ok but towards the end I think she was getting tired and out of breath. It was dragging and uncomfortable to listen to.

[xalleniex]

this was bad but she improved alot though

[lucamcar]

ryana



[lucamcar]

oi

[BradysGirlxoxo]

She was great in the beginning, it does kinda sound like auto tune or whatever you call it to make her sound better. Was she even in front of a real audience ? That camera and the sounds when she went to high, uggh. My ditgital camera sounds the same lol.

[MasterAlex831]

Before the bad hair and bad tattos

[Noustrate]

She was good until 1:28-1:29 :P

[CheakyCute]

its good at the start but then it just gets worse..

[ChocoMMs]

OH GOD.

[melishable]

burdan da anladıgımız gibi burnunu yaptırmış :D

[kingakolodziejczyk]

this is bad.. i mean or my hearin got worse?? she cannot sing good here.. lets face it! however she got better now!

[MrUniqueunknown]

everyone thinks artists suck until they see them live at a young age, people stop hating on rihanna and katy they can sing, and this is rihanna's proof.

[skinnyandfatcat]

I don't understand how people think this sounds good...

[Lafemme17]

Love me some RiRi, but this was not a good choice with her voice. If you wanna see someone kill it check out this girl named Ailee. She did this song in my opinion just as well as Mariah, if not maybe a bit better. Check it out.

[DanaPwnsify]

Robyn Fenty...was and is still wonderful

[antibroke1]

i love how people say how bad it was... it was good enough for her to cut a record deal and become a millioniare. HAVE A SEAT

[giogarcia16]

Happy Birthday!

[daniellemobley16]

um...i thought it was good lol

[OliBC23]

This was just 3 years before SOS! Kinda weird!

[OliBC23]

This was just 3 years before SOS! Kinda weird!

[donyellhenley]

you cut the song off early! hmm wonder whyyyy hahahaha. ive heard it- SO BAD

[Nytemarezxz]

too many vocal gymnastics i hate when people who cant hold the fucking note resort to these crazy tremelos

[lpncubs3]

PEAVEY!!! At least there's godly speakers/amps

[AnotherMomentTwitter]

Shut up all of you.

I highly doubt any of you can sing it any better.

LovelyVintageRose, you also.

[LovelyVintageRose]

i can honestly say I sing this better than her but I do like it! Good job rihanna!

[MeshaLovesYall]

ERRRRRR?

[MonsieurHoney]

When you don't have Mariah voice , you don't sing Mariah song

[Superstar33000]

I don't think she sounded bad. I just think the song was too big for her.

[tempobronze]

She did a terriffic job :) For anyone that said she did a horrible job, u gotta remember, this is a tough song to sing. Overall she did a good job trying to harmonize it. Cut her some slack, like u can actually haromonize this song

[pinkydinkydoo46]

what happen to rihanna ...first Innocent little girl................. now devil worrshipper :(

[TheEthel26]

@pinkydinkydoo46 Oh for the love of god, shut up about that. Its just a damn conspiracy THEORY. In other words, there is NO factual proof that she is. People just like to hate and find any excuse or reasoning behind others success.

[JhuaNPrO8]

She was only 15 years I'll bet anyone here who post these comments when it was the same age or not arrived at her feet when she was 15, so let's stop and think a bit before making criticisms. PS: I LOVE RIHANNA

[AnySchmu]

Actually I think she pretty much shows her distinct Rihanna sound/voice here already. Doesn't seem like that much of a different voice :)

[ZimtSternChen69]

I don't know. Is it me? I don't think she can sing.. Some of her songs sound pretty good but you can tell it's more a computer voice than her own :(

[thelemonlimegurl]

@ZimtSternChen69 I see what you're saying. I think part of that is Rihanna's distinct sound. You're hearing a nasally voice, and so am I. This is when she was 15, performing, probably nervous, and she hasn't had much voice coaching. So don't give her too much trouble :)

[Lagahakalaka]

I don't understand why you think this is bad, it's actually very good, and much better than most other singers. Also, she was just 15 at that time, and she has improved tremendously since then. You don't have to sound like studio versions to be a good singer, you need to give your best, and vocal mistakes are what makes the performance live.

[ngktf]

@Lagahakalaka ya but when whitney or christina or celin were singing their voices were so strong it was amazing the way they could sing.....this just shows rihanna and other ppl like her are more of an entertainer and not an actualu singer singer..but i still love her songs and i think only she can do them

[MrJnapkid]

@Lagahakalaka I like Riahnna music but to say she is only 15 listen to Charice she is also 15 in this Video...Charice 1st Star King Visit [Sub] + duet with Kyu Hyun

[suckittenLass]

LoL! im sorry..is she drunk??

[jamesbondjohnson]

i like this

[HeavenlyFaithful]

Some of it was good not all of it especially the end....... was bad

[karolinaaa6661]

here she is pretty :)

[kaccong]

better then we found love

[TheHailey39]

wow beautiful

[KenniBlanco]

This song was not the right song for her.

[reziboy100]

@KenniBlanco just too high. but her voice is beautiful

[KenniBlanco]

@reziboy100 It was too big for her. She should have sang a song with less high notes. 

[reziboy100]

@KenniBlanco yea she struggled in the end

[bia1991fuckyeah]

just wow

[IAmVooge]

I Love It she can sing cause most celebrities only sing good in studio!!)

[MegaHolly2011]

this is amazing wow

[Teddyiscute]

Wait, so Rihanna's real name is Robyn Fenty? lol

[romariogomez92]

@Teddyiscute her name is robyn rihanna fenty

[TsukixTanaka]

cute!!

[TheIsobel51]

See guys? I KNEW she could sing! Its just that these days we never know if people can! xD

[rqgenevieve]

@TheIsobel51 It's also because her songs these days don't show her voice off that well like UNFAITHFUL and her other older songs :]]]]

[Roxannadonald1]

I thought it was good. She defo has her own style but I think she is a dime a dozen singer!

[302yt]

This song doesn't suit her style of singing....

[YouHEARTDee]

@302yt That's Because We Useto Her Singing Style Now,

[missyfruitylicious]

OMG that was shit, towards the end my ears were bleeding. Rihanna is only good singing in the studios but is absolutely crap singing live on stage without all the autotunes to help her.

[SergioBreakz]

OMG... do a critic abour sing it's very easy, and you don't know that this girll were learning to sing because anyone can sing as perfect as her final singing... So stop talking nonsenses

[atoreta88]

Rihanna's style of singing and mariah's style is different. That'd be like asking Gwen Stefani to sing this song...her style just wouldn't match and she'd botch the song too. So it's not a case of bad singing, just different styles.

[ninjamuffinish]

annoying voice

[mrstuttle09]

no wonder why i don't really like her music.....SHE CAN'T SING

[malayaMcLovin]

i'm fuckin' impressed

[SweetKinaVEVO]

Well That Was Rihanna Back Then But Now She Just I've Kinda Lost REspect For Her.

[L3g3nd4ryN3w6]

she didnt sing this well :(

[rawlikerawmeat]

she must of been very nervous because if you hear closely, she has a good voice, she just didn't sing it well

[mrghantauke]

I wouldn't be able to tell the difference if she just dubbed this voice over a video a video in 2012. Just proves that she's great and always been great..

[CheakyCute]

@mrghantauke actually that's quite an insult. with that comment you're implying that she hasn't improved at all over the past, what, 8/9 years?

[mrghantauke]

@CheakyCute People give a round of applause to Mr. GlassIsHalfEmpty. Never failing to amuse us.

[CheakyCute]

@mrghantauke yeah, I'm a girl by the way. And sorry for pointing out exactly what you said. Obviously you don't know a lot about music by the way you are judging this video..this isn't good at all. At some parts it is good, but most of it is a mess

[mrghantauke]

@CheakyCute When someone complements you, you just say thank you. You don't look into every word they say so you can find the technicalities of the sentence. When someone says "You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen" you don't go "That means I'm more beautiful than my mom. You're implying that my mum is ugly." Obviously, you've never been complimented in your whole life. Also, no one asked whether you're a girl or not. Stop saying random things and giving random insights.

[CheakyCute]

@mrghantauke what you said about rihanna was an obvious insult. and when someone tells me i'm beautiful I say thank you, but if someone tells me 'if you still had those ten pimples i think you'd look just like you do now' i wont thank them obviously. and you said MR, so I'm pointing out that you are wrong. Now i would like to stop talking to you because you are annoying

[mrghantauke]

@CheakyCute Good riddance. Now let me use my magic to make you reply to this.

Stop lying about you being a girl. You're not a girl, because you're a bitch. The real reason behind you not replying is because you know how stupid your arguments are compared to mine, and you're running out of reasons to defend yourself with. Feels so good to have the final say :) Have a nice day bitch.

[mrghantauke]

@CheakyCute Like my magic bitch? So much for the "i would like to stop talking to you" bullshit. If you've got time to be replying to shit like this then obviously with your logic you've got to have a pretty sad life too.

[CheakyCute]

@mrghantauke okay, im gonna block you now because you are getting on my nerves. have a nice life. seriously. 

[checkpot991]

@CheakyCute I'M BACK BITCH!!! I'll once again use my magic powers to make u reply. BITCH IF YOU FIND ME ANNOYING & U'VE GOT A LIFE WHY THE FUCK DO U KEEP REPLYING BACK, also within about 2 hours time of every reply I send. You must have a very good life when you're on youtube 24/7. Ok comon magic powers make that bitch reply coz thats what turns me on. YEA BITCH REPLY TO ME I WANNA WANK ON YOUR REPLIES. so many things you can say in the reply, tips: no life multiple accounts. REPLY BITCH REPLY!!

[xxlucythorpexx]

she still has that gawjuss voice but why did she have to change from those hit singles to them just reaching top 10

[Laizzial1]

[nqtuan164]
