Rihanna on Oprah performing Redemption Song by Bob Marley

[HeirOfEnoch]

I wish Rhianna would sing more inspirational songs like this.

I love Rhianna's voice, I love her style... but every thing is about sex with her.

I can't wait till she grows up enough to see there's more to life than just awesome amazing sex, an empty bed, an addiction. But I guess you just write from your experience.

[AriesK28]

Very good job Ri-Ri!

[luckydubeandbobm1]

bob marley sings this sooo much better!

[Shinichi1337]

I actually like best Marley's original and Johnny Cash's cover of this song. But Rihanna's rendition ist nice, too :-)

[tigergirl66lov]

love rihanna redemption songs

[MrLiij]

THIS IS BOB MARLEY'S SONG!!!! I AM JAMAICAN BUT I LOVE THIS RENDITION ALSO

[DrMusicBox]

Say what you want about Rihanna's cover of the song. The point is the song had a powerful and inspirational message. And Rihanna just exposed an entire generation to this awesome song who never would have known about it otherwise. Bob Marley would be proud that his music is still being reproduced and still is relevant. And Rihanna is from the islands JUST like Bob Marley so it is a part of her culture more so than any American.

[sabraboo93]

this was amazing , i liked when she said 'prophets' lol

[iz2cute0x0x]

I perfer Lauryn Hill's version

[jyabriel08]

Yeah it was a little pitchy and yeah she's not the best singer in the world but she felt every lyric in that song line by line which made me love this cover. Stop the hate Bob Marley wanted 1 love right?

[sophienichelle]

her voice sounds more high pitch. i thnk this was edited

[Nickstupid]

@sophienichelle typical just because she does a good performance people doubt it

[sophienichelle]

@Nickstupid actually her voice is usually deeper. and calm the fuck down dude. im a fan? if you actually watch and compare her voice to other videos like i do then you would understnd. other than tht shut the fuck up cuz you dnt even understand what i mean obvioulsy. and ppl edit her videos all the time and change her pitch to emphasize what they think is an annoying voice. so this performance was not all tht good since her voice was all wierd.

[boyohboyX]

they listen to Rihanna's music in hell.

[bequi18]

....fantastic....(L)

[TheGingerina91]

beautiful................ well done rihanna great tribut

[daniellexmarie139]

i love rihanna but she ruined this song! :(

[jcOVlem]

R.I.P BOB MARLEY :'( .. Well done Rihanna great tribute and great cover <3

[maddtrumpet]

IF U DNT LIK RIHANNA DEN DNT WATCH HER VIDEOS

[SpaceInvaders010]

@maddtrumpet sick spelling..

[ashrick718]

i mean Rihanna can't SANG but she has a very nice voice!! got her to where she is!

[CoconutIsle]

this is one of the best cover of that song! she sung this song with so much passion..i like!

[MrFreshkidd123]

@lem4k crazy

[jswrodriguez]

the audio on this vid has been tweaked! like 4 octaves higher! but i found a better version of Rihanna Singing On Oprah

[Lost1Wons]

okay, i couldnt watch this beautiful girl sing this song, so i just listened. Her interpretation does nothing for the song. Nothing. So after just listening to it, i decided to watch it, well, yeah you can tell she is trying to feel the song, but her passsion is purely sexual, and she should not sing political songs, and stick to moaning on her S&M records.......Ohh yeah, not hate, becuz I come from West Indian background, just want good representation. Oprah tried by getting RiRi, but fail

[MegaSindiswa]

SHE SHOULD SING IN CARIBBEN STYLE MORE OFTEN COZ WE ALL KNW THAT THE GAL CANT SING LIVE HER VOICE IS HORROR LIVE

[chrisj52688]

she sang this awesomly! and she is soooo freakin fine, but i cant help but laugh when mike epps called her a FRANKENSTEIN HEAD BITCH and everytime i see her lol

[Roxdebrox]

omg u guys must all be freakin deaf. This is total rape of a perfect song.

[YyaseRrZz]

I <3 this song

I <3 Bob Marley

i <3 Rihanna

I <3 The Hellcats version

;) xo.

[RaoufLeo]

awesome riri I love ur voice

[BDAdancer247]

14 people are heartless

[aweseomemariadavila]

Sister had SOUL when she did this! You could feel it in her!!! Love it!!!!

[desmodood1]

When Bob wrote this song he was sick of all the haters. How dare you disrespect his legacy by posting negative, hating comments! Search your soul and find the love that Bob had for mankine. Quiit hating!!! ONE LOVE!

[TheFear1611]

This was a fantastic performance !

[niicole470]

wtf!? not sayin she cant sing but she ruined the song completly and she DOES NOT have the type of voice to sing this or the right attitude :/

you should hear aly michalka sing this she has the right voice for it and shes a great actress and singer!

[dinnybbq]

she did a very good job! love her voice. she looks gorgeous as well. nailed it riri!

[MrKingb4lyf]

Oh lord Rihanna, just keep it moving Girl. Just Stick to back tracks and walking around the stage, cause singing is not for you.

[keelei1613]

i think rihanna sings it better than bob marley i mean thats my opinion but her voice sounds different than usual

[ghettobird93]

why the fuck would u do this to such a beautiful song??

[keelei1613]

@ghettobird93 do what have rihanna sing it

[ghettobird93]

@keelei1613 yea....i dont like her version at all...she tries to make it all pop and overemotional.....

[keelei1613]

@ghettobird93 it overemotional because it was sung for the Haiti earthquake but i can see what you mean by overemotional

[BloodOnRoses127]

No! She is a terrible singer to this song. She can't go around singing this. This is not her song. Bob and Ziggy Marley sing this better then anyone ever could. You go write your own lyrics and perform that! Make sure your in tune ans stick with the lyrics

[abazane]

out of tune...

[BeckyBoo1532]

old school rihanna. were did she go? but nice to see her back every so often =]

[Sassa97H]

Love this song.. love bob marley's songs.... Rihanna respect for the emotion you give us....

It's pity you have a great voice for caribbean songs but you prefer pop songs...

Rihanna please back to your roots.... Bless

[Mrginoboy007]

in this viddeo her voice is higher.it's not her real voice

[laffy]

booooooooo, wat are people hearing

[TheAsh88]

She sounds absolutely terrible. How can anyone believe this is good? Ughhhh!

[butybgtym]

@TheAsh88 i completely agree!!!wtf is this?

[bklynchicka994]

her voice is so fucking annoying. No one is fucking hating, if some one don't like it, they don't like it! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Idk what's more annoying, Rihanna or her fans -__-

[CeliaRebelle]

@bklynchicka994 Oh your a hater. Anybody can tell the difference...and you my dear are DEF a Rihanna hater..esp if your on plenty of her videos talking shit.

[bklynchicka994]

@CeliaRebelle Give me a fucking valid reason why I would hate on Rihanna? PLEASE! If she had talent I would respect her lame ass.

[CeliaRebelle]

@bklynchicka994 Because shes a Successful Gorgeous Women, probably has everything YOU want. Theres Plenty of supposed untalented artist out there, and you specifically hate on Rihanna and have videos like "Rihanna sucks, Rihanna falls" in your favorites...You darling are a hater.

[bklynchicka994]

@CeliaRebelle I favorited those vids b/c their funny. It's not like I go to a random Rihanna vid & tell the world I hate her. She's a successful SINGER, don't want to be a singer. She has naked pics on the internet, no hair b/c she damaged it. I'm a teenager so I still have time to be successful. There's positivley NO reason to hate on this girl. She got nothing I want, maybe she got all you want, that's why you worshiping her & sticking up for someone u don't even know lmaoo.

[HydenNoway]

@bklynchicka994 i have to say ur right...

I love the truth so when i say this is not that good as people want to say (or curse u lol) it is....it is true PEOPLE THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL!....go see Lauryn Hill sing the same thing ...let your ears listen and tell the truth, Lauryn got it....

[bklynchicka994]

@CeliaRebelle oh & I hate kesha, soulja boy, & lady gaga too. Not just Rihanna :)

[johannep30]

Go Riri and thank you for dedicated for our Haitians...

[HipHopRecords101]

I Got Goosebumps When She Sang Those High Notes!

&& I Looked Like She Was Crying.

I LOVE YOU RIHANNA!!!!

GOD BLESS YOU!!!<3

[fuckinrelax]

THIS VERSION SUCKS, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE REGGE, THIS IS POP BULLSHIT!

[doubline47]

how long shall they kill our prophet?thats fact,this goES TO the nigerians,how long are we ganna live like this,HOW LONG MR PRESIDENT?

[fuckinrelax]

@doubline47 stop looking to the president as a saviour and realize God is within

[doubline47]

@fuckinrelax thank,i look up to HIM,just saying for the sake of others

[doubline47]

how long shall they kill our prophet?thats fact,this go the nigerians,how long are we ganna live like this,HOW LONG MR PRESIDENT?

[NJMoviemaker]

Nobody can do it like Bob Marley he is unique but i gotta admit that wasn't a bad performance from Rihanna at all :D

[yoRaul92]

I am a fan of BM and I think his music is full of meaning, and this girl has done a great job by singing this song to remind us of a great legend. good good voice. good good instrumental. googood good job lady. keep going!

[PortugalRonaldoFan]

Hatin on Rihanna is very low.. seriously

[C3iLeA127]

I like the way she sung it before...all of that extra stuff just takes away from from the song!

[Entje]

Nobody does it like Bob...Rihanna tries too much, which ruins it..

[Vtpia]

Love Rihanna's rendition of this song. Is it just me or does anyone else think Rihanna's voice sounds best when she sticks to Caribbean music?

[doni1212]

@Vtpia For sure!! Listen to "Man Down" off her new album because it illustrates exactly what you're saying!

[akl000]

@Vtpia yes....I am from the caribbean u are so right....she sounds better when she sings caribbean music.....her new song Man Down reggea style....she sound great...

[vincylover05]

@Vtpia she started out singing reggae then turn to pop & R&B later

[NiymbleFingers]

@Vtpia Absolutely.

[303940s]

i prefer this one

[baindu18]

Of course no one could do it better than the man himself but Rihanna is a fan like everyone else and she sang a song she happens to love, she didn't pass it off as her own so leave her the hell alone

[thelaughingcat]

Just horrible, just awful. Bob Marley will be spinning in his grave. The sad thing is, there will be morons that hear this and think it's the original. Bob sang it with soul and humility, this awful woman vomits it with hyperbole and a love of the sound of her own warbling voice... god help us all.

[princessjay242]

rihanna dont listen to the haters do your thing theres more plp who like u than them.

[AlexKamillaKroy]

The sound is from Music Cover Art 2006. 

[nanessgirl]

i like very emotional song

[dadreamzworld]

WOW WHAT A FUCKING MESS!!! THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE CALL TALENT! FUNNY!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA­AHAHAAHAHAHAHA WHOOO SHIT I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! BWHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!!~

[moni468]

@dadreamzworld

get off chris brown's nut sack...you are broke and struggling so I understand...but give this girl her props...she sang this song well.

[dadreamzworld]

@moni468 Bitch speak on your own life because thats all you know. If you think she sung this song well then bitch thats you and your tired ass ear drums. If I know music and I know she didn't sing this song then guess what, when I get off Chris nut sack bitch you get on his dick swallow then choke you goose neck hoe! Stop gather Retardo hair balls down your throat then coughin that shit up you nasty whore! The fuck outta my face.

[Rihannawhat1]

rihanna sung this song beautiful and if anybody doesnt think so theyre hating

[dadreamzworld]

@Rihannawhat1 lmaooooooooo

[Undertakerbhv]

@Rihannawhat1

I dont hate her I just dont like the way she sang this song.

Why? Because I have a different taste in music. Plain and simple

That dont mean she sang bad.. she did absolutely not but I like Bobs version much better. And btw: music is not and will never be a compition.

Everybody should listen to the music he loves and give respect to people with different tastes.

[Fan2Rihanna75]

I never heard the original song but this one is AMAZING

[winchesterboyz89]

@Fan2Rihanna75 the original is by Bob Marley. Its so calming and beautiful.

[thelaughingcat]

@Fan2Rihanna75 You are a moron.

[MIZZSHADEZZ]

@Fan2Rihanna75 wow so dat means u dont know who Bob Marley is? if u havent heard da orginal

[Fan2Rihanna75]

@MIZZSHADEZZ I know who Bob Marley is but I don't know hes songs :$

[000theUnforgiven000]

@Fan2Rihanna75 listen to the original -.-

[lingimagz]

I'm a fan of Rihanna but this version was killed!!!! There was no redemption in this song

[Flowflo78]

She definitly CAN sing, and she's really pretty. But this version, altough well sung, is plate. There's no emotion. No color. It's become a rNb song, and it's kinda sad. This was one of the greatest tunes of the century, by one of the greatest artist ever. Next to Marley's Version, this is pure crap !

ps: pls forgive my english, i'm french, and it's well known we can't speak in another language ^^.

[lingimagz]

@Flowflo78 I FEEL YA!!!!!!!!! Totally ruined the essence of Bob when you listen to his version, the original, the ONLY!!!!!!!

[khaye50]

Luv her soooo much ..... gots to say she rock this song like a Rockstar.... Thought Bob was the only one who could do this but she tear it up...

[Zippoca]

@khaye50 Rockstar? ROCKSTAR?!?!?! Do you even know what the word rockstar means? Rihanna ain't rockstar! And she totally ruined this song.
