Rihanna - Redemption Song (Yahoo! Music Cover Art 2006)

[88brandonlaw]

its crazy how people judge rihanna and not the music of course your gonna like bob marleys version better cause thats how you first heard the song but dont get it twisted that was a pretty good cover especially since the guitarist got away from the original melody and it still sounded pulled it off ey props to rihanna no matter what kind of other music she makes or is going to make im still down with this cover

[lolofo1000]

i love this song so much

[dargaux63]

ta gueule connasse !de la daude reste a ta place amuse les gamins

[aldogibsonlespaul]

rihanna its just a singer.... bob marley was a good... and still be...

[thatwasbuttery171717]

haha the guy's playing a shitty guitar but he's making it sound so good.

[brotahojk54]

illuminati bitch sing a peace song ! WTF

[dedcabdriver04]

its a shame that you now sing shite songs then

[irishjovi]

i'd lick that seat dry..

[fendergasm11]

i think we'll all remember marley's version cause thats how the song was introduced to us. theres nothing wrong w this though, i love this song still.

[LucaBoulders]

She well over sings it

[Chippy215Boss]

Bob Marleys version will always be the best and Rihanna if you grew up listeing to Bob why do you make these dumb songs

[ZionaLove1]

Awsome!!!

[failtax]

what the fuck is the guy on guitar playing

[diralark]

it s not good :/ but she's young, she can progress..

[gandhafl]

Seu vocal melhorou muito de la pra ca!!!

[MrCanada144]

Sold i to the merchant ships not stole i but still thumbs up

[Marchall27]

que belas coxas, Rihanna! Sou teu fã, sua linda!!!

[toguhx]

and more... when the illuminati perceived that this Girl was heading towards Ras Tafari they found a way to brain wash her with drugs, sex and money and now she acts like a whore.... Please Rihanna take your life back and start representing for the Caribbean cause again... make Bob Proud!!!

[toguhx]

oh man this video makes me cry! you know why... this little girl 20 years after bobs death has shown how strong bob is in pop culture in the caribbean... this is an anthem guys... deep rooted in the Caribbean culture... beautiful job Rihanna... representing the man and his vision... 

[dominicanhop1]

beautyful song by the beautyful voice of a beutyful girl

[kianlr8]

You should all be ashamed of yourself to hate on her like this! She's never done anything to ANY of you and for some reason when it comes to dead artists like Bob or Aaliyah, and another artists talks (good) about them,u are all like fuck rihanna or fuck who ever it is that's talking! Its ridiculous,just shut the fuck up! Anyway Rihanna is worth millions,she's one of the biggest artists EVER and she has millions of fans so why worry about the hater's!? Im sure she doesnt!

[purplerosexx]

she actually did a great job......but yeah u can sing but not that good beyonce can sing rihana sings and dont even have to work hard or try hard...........

[MrCanada144]

Bob what love this. It does not matter whos singing, but that someone is singing. Love.

[sloppiness]

wow all of you are hating on these two.. so what shes famous, so what its a cheap guitar, theyre singing and spreading love. Would bob approve of what you all are saying? take it easy and just enjoy the music

[jb22fresh]

HOLD UP! She's the perfect example of hard work paying off, building yourself up from nothing to something. Not like she was born with a silver spoon. The cover is good. But the original is GREAT nothing changes that. Stop being ignorant people.

[popismyjam]

@jb22fresh Thank you!!!

[0hMyGuitar]

walmarkt guitar

[vickedv5]

Only Sing Wht u are Meant to sing ma luv..

[MrDanielHawes]

Awful, such a cheap, tacky piece of cheap. Shame on her.

[JeremiahL]

WAY TO TURN AN EPIC CLASSIC INTO A HALF @rsche POP RENDITION. THIS MAKES ME WANT TO SMACK HER LIKE CHRIS BROWN....

[leovc26]

so redempt urself from the midia, bitch!

[KikaRella12461]

EXCUSE ME!!!! but Rihanna can do whatever the hell she wants.. shes the fukn queeen of barbados.. c'mon now ladies and gents.. and plus... your opinion doesnt matter to real Navy followers.

[000Z9A]

btw 0:55 was the worst note I've ever heard..as I said its a shame she makes millions of money while there are people dying cuz they cqn't afford food..

[Braytholomew]

I know she's an amazing singer and all, but she seems to be singing to slow even for that song

[rachelwood55]

took the reggae outta the song whattt the hell. rhi love ya girl but keep it real mannnn

[Avalos77777777777777]

um pouco melho

[skiwakz]

Rihanna. i raise u a middle finger as a proper form of salute. ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐

[OGRM]

worst cover ever

i would say dont quit making your normal music but she sucks at that too

[kianlr8]

@OGRM Ok so clearly your a hater,but what i want to know is,if this is the "worst cover ever" and "her music sucks" why are you searching for her fucking video's!? I just dont get when hating cunts do that! Makes me so mad! Dont look her up so! Oh and,if her "music sucks" then why has she got 11 number 1's in the States? Ur vile to hate on a young girl doing what she loves when u dont even know her! Bob would be so proud to see a fellow islander being so successful! Get a life

[OGRM]

@kianlr8

i never looked her up, I was looking for redemption song when i saw her i was just like wtf

and 11 nr 1 songs big whoop, she has NO tallent what so ever. she cant sing without auto tune, all she does is sing on cheap pop beats that MTV and other top 40 radio stations shove down our troaths. Bob would have no respect for someone with no talent, that cant sing, that only uses cheap pop beats, and hasn't written one song her self.

[kianlr8]

@OGRM Ok,im a huge Rihanna stan,and im trying to keep my cool with you! This girl,in my opinion and in million's of others,can sing,is talented,is inspirational to follow your dreams,makes great music and is'nt doing any wrong to ANYONE! You are hating on her because your saying she cant sing and she does'nnt make good songs but that's UR opinon,DO NOT force it on me! And dont make it seem like having 11 nr 1's is no biggie! Its an artists dream! Just please,watch "Rihanna Russian Roulette AOL".

[kianlr8]

@kianlr8 and can i just say,if you have a great voice and your a great singer,does it say ur not a musician if u dont write a song!?If that was to be,we would probley have boring shit artist's around today! Alot of u people are stuck in a time warp! Rihanna IS 21'st centuary like! PLUS! Its EASY to know that ur not a fan because Rihanna wrote a song called "The Last Song" on her album Rated R! ALL by HERSELF! Okay?!

[onliner10000]

@OGRM wow you sound like an idiot. I don't see what is wrong with this performance. She also has no auto tune

[supertimwan]

lauryn Hill ones the best cover of this..Song that will wakin up people minds...

[sgtthriller]

stick to singing about umbrellas and clubbing



[onliner10000]

@sgtthriller ur wrong

[OZP1905]

@sgtthriller Hell yeah!

[froshizzle101]

this is a beatiful cover. rihanna should do more reggae instead of all the mainstream stuff

[MRPSYCOTIC]

shit

[MrBklynSteez]

Her singing was great, at one point in the song she even sounded like beyonce, and we all agree that beyonce can sing.

the fact that she covered the song, and people may wish she didn't is a different story. give props where they are due. She sounded great.

[MrBklynSteez]

Even if you dont like what she sings about, what you think she stands for, or her herself, you can't try to lie and say she sounded bad, even if you didn't like her covering it.

She sounded great. . . period.

[majtee712]

SHE SINGS VERY FALSE ALMOST ALL THE TIME ( MY ENGLISH IS NOT GOOD )

[VrbaSK]

fuck babylon ,rihanna is illuminati!

[WhiteL1ght100]

Working for Babylon and singing Bob Marley song ... 

AWFULL

[dilzas23]

man shes a sexy demon

[TheMariosincero]

nonsense

[Imoliviabrown]

She has a lovely voice

[sigakak]

The Worst cover ever...... It's not a fucking Pop Song!

[SkepsisUK]

@sigakak what about this sounds like a pop song?

it's a very well done cover.

[sigakak]

@SkepsisUK Musically i will agree with you that is fairly good......But Emotionally that cover tells me Nothing!... I m sorry this is my opinion....!

[gblues100]

its bob Bob Marley not bob marly !!!!

[Nikoz7Makaveli]

from 3:00 she sounds like Beyonce so hard for a few seconds

[Imoliviabrown]

@Nikoz7Makaveli Oh yeah she does! :) Rihanna's a great singer :)

[filipecardo1313]

música do bob é foda memo

[posro1988]

I officially love her now!

[gammin5]

Rihanna actually really surprised me with this she should really stick to reggae music and songs like these she doesn't have the best voice but her voice is relaxing when she sings like this :) and come on guys it wasn't that bad you gotta admit she really suits this type of music

[1992jamo]

All of Bob's songs are his alone. No cover could ever portray the feelings you get from the originals...

Not to hate on Rihanna, I just don't think anyone could pull it off.

[dreamgal3]

rihanna= FAKE b***

[kedahmiller]

She wasnt that bad, but she lacks the soul for the song. Lauryn Hill has the best cover

[erkanutazo]

RIHANA IS ILLUMINATI AND BOB MARLEY IS KILLILLUMINATI

[TheNtombazana]

ahh things change i swear.

[shepsy97]

Guitar Intro=Shit!

[machdichkarotteTZZZ]

@sitchki you kno she already made somethin? & that its he exact contrary to Bob's message

[haziqakif]

nice cover, but the songs she writes now are so full of hate, contradictive to the concept of rastafaria and the message Bob wants to convey in all of his songs

[01pksamio]

ruined this song for me

[jw5y66]

She destroyed this song!

[ShanieIsLove]

not EVERY song is about sex..... every song has a different message. you just have to LISTEN to them!! now some songs are but not all of them!

I think shes amazing and i like the old rihanna as well as the new. She's growing up and evolving into her own person. its either your on board or your not. simple as that

Love you robyn #RihannaNavy

[LondonKuzz]

everyone is entitled to their opinion and mine is that she should stay away from real music and stick to whatever it is she is selling

[horny69lizard]

shut the fuck up

[sambambarino]

She just fucking killed this song. someone shoot this dumb fuck cock breath.

[icnclt]

she sings great without panties...

[luongonator]

hey love it! Check out our version.

[ido2love]

found found this woman who has just destroyed one of the songs of Bob Marley would return if I live to die They were exposed to listen to this

[cabocarlanga]

estas divinaaa

[jameltanderson]

it really amazes me what some of you idiots on youtube say SMH she did great :)

[ThrashingIsMyBizness]

i bet she was never a bob marley fan.

[popismyjam]

@ThrashingIsMyBizness But she is, growing up in the Carribean, she was exposed to Bob Marley's music as well as other reggae artists.

[Bak3dB3an]

@popismyjam

You could live in the north pole and still be a bigger fan of marley.

It's about the things he talks about. She sold out for the music industry, she was never a real fan.

[okydokes]

ummmmm reggae is JAMAICAN not CARIBBEAN are all of u all dumb???? dont associate the entire Caribbean with strictly jamaican music........ not synonymous AT ALL!

[000Z9A]

@popismyjam and she she chose to make crap music while she is sitting on her ass while her manager buys a song so she can sing it in to make millions...

Pretty unfair if you know there are many better artists that work like 10x harder and are 10x les popular..she's a whore and I can't stand her..

[stan8845240]

@ThrashingIsMyBizness That is such a stupid thing to say, look at where she is from........seriously

[reneeLuvmj1]

@ThrashingIsMyBizness she grew up listening to bob Marley.she is from Barbados HELLO! of coarse she was exposed to reggae music also r&b pop rock & other genres.

[omitadej]

@ThrashingIsMyBizness: some people talk without knowing

[getrich2112]

I miss this innocent Rihanna

[jiniton]

shes hot and all. but.. no.

[onliner10000]

@jiniton how does this sound not good

[silverrook]

Whos strangling a cat?

[onliner10000]

@silverrook no one shes singing great. I dnt hear a cat

[slizoun333]

Its beautiful cover !

[CoastalRootsoi]

Stop it ....your hurting my ears!!!!!!

[onliner10000]

@CoastalRootsoi nope thats wrong. How does it sound bad she sounded great

[muthaheffa1]

I'm loving this acoustic side of her even though it's old. Her voice is truly amazing and has progressed fantastically over the years and I love the way she sings this song. People are entitled to their own opinion and it's totally fine. More people like this than dislike it. We win Rihanna Navy!!!!

[meezymillionz]

God has truly blessed her, she's so beutiful and her voice goes with it, If you disagree then why are you ever watching this?

[ChristineDaae3]

Oh my god, this is beautiful..

[jilali1987]

there are at least a hundred people who have better cover on youtube ... When you think that is one of the artists who sell the most records in the world, it's a shame to see what happened to music today.

[sleepycamvideos]

it's ironic she's singing about "emancipating from mental slavery", when it's artists like her that are enslaving our people's minds, making them think only of the materialistic and sexually appealing

[geniusbogger]

@sleepycamvideos And she sings some lyrics in the first verse wrong - it should be "sold I to the merchant ships" not "stole I from the merchant ships" as that would imply that they wanted slavery, I don't think she knows what the song is about unfortunately..

[tthot4life]

@sleepycamvideos I coulnd't agree more

[HellsAngelsofNC]

@sleepycamvideos so true

[HellsAngelsofNC]

She said "stole i from the merchant ships" lol, it's "sold i to the merchant ships".

[jameskang86]

@HellsAngelsofNC ur right.wth.

[Wlxdread]

@sleepycamvideos I agree 102% of that...

[Skoolers]

@sleepycamvideos that's absolute right..

btw, she sucks like hell ^^

R.I.P. The one and only BOB MARLEY ! (L)

[Larsson110130]

@sleepycamvideos Only weak-minded people will let themselfs be enslaved by popstars.

[Groschang]

@Larsson110130 Which is the majority...

[jinksdemon]

@sleepycamvideos True that my brotha

[MMASNinja]

@sleepycamvideos Maybe so, but I like the sexually appealing.

[atomicorangutan27]

@sleepycamvideos That's actually true. I think more so now though, than in 2006. Now she is completely pop and stuff.

[BrokenSilence77]

@sleepycamvideos

word

[3456girlygirl]

I really didn't like this.!

[HaloBoo98]

This is good!

[lamari0907]

I'm glad she likes this song, but no I didn't like this cover :S

[avatarange]

Rihanna's so AMAZING LOVE U RIHANNA!!!!



[Beral62]

very nice girl and singer....vote 10

[xXAaLIYahBabiieeXx]

The version from Hellcats is way better!

[dharmafrica]

ohh.. this is f*ck'in baadd!!! if you wanna listen this song from a lady, you should listen this from lauryn hill !!!!

[avatarange]

@dharmafrica If its that bad don't watch it!!

[samurainja]

You kidding?! This is freakin amazing!!!She just has a unique voice. I like it.

[renji2442]

who cant get this song sing!!! this does not show her vocal ability

[Powernlove]

The devils con artist. Raping music that was never made for these pop artist cons. They rape the music that was made to wake us up not to gawk at this illuminati satanist sing it. Preach Yeshua!

[Powernlove]

WRONG.... "SOLD" not "STOLE"

[Peanutnou]

riri love you

[mariika14]

... And then she dyed her hair red.

[MsSkuux]

@mariika14 thnx too Chris Brown!!!! :(

[byrneadam1995]

The next time I hear someone say that she doesn't have a voice- I'm going to show them this!!

[Omeqaultimateskuxx]

this is when she could actually sing on live !

[rollingchina96]

like it

[rollingchina96]

she said "i WAS a huge fan of bob marley"...

[QuiseBrezzy013]

Them high notes close 2 the end round 2:59-3:02 sent chills thru my body. I really love her vocal ability. My bae is slept on on that #smh

[Romaykel96]

Her voice is so much better now. She had a great evolution since that.

[samurainja]

Rihanna is freakin amazing!

[KHALILROUFAI]

i like this voice.it is cute.i like u RIHANA

[shibzvg]

nasal -.-

[dolphinsufi]

Favourite song but she doesn't know the lyrics... stick to "can go long time with a girl like me" nonsense and leave the classics alone.

[originalsuperman1]

@efchris Your talking out your arse. Your saying the younger might help prolong the likes of Bob Marley because Rihanna or Justin sings his songs. Bob Marley prolongs his own songs for the obvious reason, he is Bob Marley, and will be listened to for has long as the human race survives, and not because someone has done a cover of his songs. Bob Marley is part of history and will never be outdated as well has his songs.

[missJcaliente]

@originalsuperman1 while i agree with your point about bob marley being a legend and everyone knowing his name, kids these days dont listen to the likes of him anymore and as time progresses generations of kids wont even know who he is, he will just be some guy whos music used to be famous, so isnt this the better option?

[originalsuperman1]

@missJcaliente You clearly have little understanding now, when you get older and gain more life experiences, you might understand.

[KingAlanI]

I'm glad she tried something like this, and it's still a great piece anyway

[sharnelers]

15 people had black slaves.

[vee1322]

@sharnelers LMAO

[Stephjackson10]

she did it good

[kannarin]

listen to lauryn hill or john legend's cover...it's so much better.

[xxayootemixx]

leave bob marley alone, shit i hate when everyone thinks they can cover a marley song, just stop, no one can do it better than him R.I.P Bob Marley

[Kneebaby01]

@xxayootemixx its not about doing it better. its about just paying homage. he was about love and im sure he would have loved it cause its not about weather she did it good or bad, she did it out of love. thats all that matters. jah bless :-)

[PinkPearlz33]

she sounds sooo young!!!

[samurainja]

Admit it! Rihanna freakin rules!

So does Bob Marley! WOOT! His legacy lives on. :D

[Mynepcamren123]

stop it Rihanna!!

[toshlives1]

i respect that she doing a bob marley song and she likes him, but artists like michael jackson bob marley tupac etc are just immortal and its hard to cover there songs with the passion that they had. bob marley is a legend forever!!!!!

[fullystrapped777]

shes beautiful



[hmongstang]

i stopped at 1:03

[802restart]

very very this song!!

[Smasha8]

@newkeith she sounds like a struggling newborn
