I Love it! Very Different :o)
Don’t like it!
She has posted this pic on a dating club ” C a s u a l S e e k . C o m ” . Many of her fans were seeking for her and wanna chat with her.She is very hot on that club and that club is also hot because of her.
With all these hot videos and songs and a re release she is still stuck at only 1.5 Million records sold. I will be glad when they hype dies down on this no talent girl because all she is is hype and she hasnt even gone double platinum and this is her 6th single off that album….
THIS IS HOT BOSSIP! DONT HATE
DAMN. sorry, haters. bottom line, beyonce is gonna have to come back HARD in order to stop this bitch. rihanna’s videos are REALLY putting beyonce’s to SHAME!
She will become “keri hilson” in 2 years..
Anyways my nigga T.I.P. will have the album of the year..Paper Trail 9-02-08.
fuck Lil Wayne, free big meech, support your local dairy farms
that was really creepy i don’t like it
beyonce’s gonna have to come back hard? like she’s been away. TEN GRAMMIES BITCH
do your thing rih rih! work whatever people are buying! learn how to work what you got @ http://www.girlfriendchurch.com get the word girlfriends get the word!
“DAMN. sorry, haters. bottom line, beyonce is gonna have to come back HARD in order to stop this bitch. rihanna’s videos are REALLY putting beyonce’s to SHAME!”
————————————————
I hate Beyonce, but you Rhianna fans are delusional..You guys have become Lil Wayne fans overnight..I don’t think you guys really believe Rhianna is better than beyonce, much like I don’t think people really believe lil wayne is the best rapper alive..lol niggas just like to say things to spark a debate..
Come on, only a bat gone blind from excreting on his eye-lids will co-sign with this mess
Don’t really like the Vid…or the song… I am growing tired of her. I hope she can re-invent herself …(or the def jam label execs) this is a lil tooo dark for me.
LOL @ negrodamus…bat gone blind! LOL PRICELESS…you are a fool for that one!
this shit shoulda been catagorized under “ho sit down” among many other bossip articles today. we get it rhi rhi, ur edgy (yawn), and you have an underdeveloped rat tail. we know. have a seat. u on the cusp of getting whiplash in that video.
Pop Music…sounds like old Duran Duran. I like it.
I’m mad at Negrodamus LMAO!!!
@negrodamus
You’re right, TI will have a hot album in september.
Rihanna is a successful recording artist, but she just tries too hard to be “different”, and it comes off as fake. This whole “I’m so dark and bad”, phase…I’m not buyin’ it.
I think this is really cool, she is appropriating the steez of MJ, Janet and Madonna. She and her bf Chris are showing a alternative/goth side which is cool. All black folks are not alike. There can be a Bey and Rhi, both can stack the paper. Stop hating haters.
It’s sad watching these “second best’s” artist out there making fools out of themselves..This video is strange and reminds of that shitty movie Halle Berry played in a while ago
Anyways T.I.P 9-02-08…Paper Trail cop that lol
Ummmmm…yea I’m speechless, and not in a good way
All this matters not! We’re all SLOUCHING TOWARDS BETHLEHEM! And we have nothing but the black whore to blame.
No.
“I think this is really cool, she is appropriating the steez of MJ, Janet and Madonna. She and her bf Chris are showing a alternative/goth side which is cool. All black folks are not alike. ”
————————————————
lol those spotty lookin teenagers dressed in all-black at the mall are not african american
Solomon Kane is trippin on this black whore thing, I ain’t even gonna waste my time arguing with that lost sould wither, just sending my prayers Solomon Kane’s way.
lost soul either *
As for the “steez of MJ”…lol you must mean number 23, cause he doesn’t make music, neither does Rhiana
I think it’s cool.
She not better thn Bey, but Bey not better thn her either, cant compare the two, that video is fire because its different, I can dig it!!
solomon, ur serious?
Negrodamus!
SHUT UP!!!!!!! LOL you are crazy….i just laughed out loud at work at your comment!
:O
omg negrodmus! rollin, word is her live shows are just as worse as keyshia coles are lol ( yall know yall saw that hot mess of a perfomance on the bet awards lol)
I knew about Fefe when she first came out, i guess she didnt quite cut it or people didnt take to her as they did Rihanna, BUT fefe is a better artist hands down, but oh well, it happens. Rihanna has no talent but whomever is backing her is doing a great job of hiding the fact that she is manufactured. She has gotten better, but will never be great!
She stole fefe’s whole look, someone needs to blast her more on this. An icon is an originator of something, not a copy cat. I dont care one way or another BUT if you swagger jacking, then u need to be called out.
And for those who believe Beyonce needs to come harder, wait until her Nov. Release, it will be more like Rihanna who? fact is, Rihanna is a gimmic, as was Paula Abdul, Britney, and so many others who were manufactured and couldnt sing worth a lick, but they could entertain. Beyonce shouldnt even be compared to this chick here, Rihanna has no talent and she cant sell records. She won a grammy based on Jay-Z’s help on a Single….thats all!
trying tooo hard
yes her and FeFe Dobson are quite similar
I read this off of another board and it’s riri in a nutshell.
All hype..babygirls got no talent, at all. Good editing and stuff for the video. Nice concept. But what did rhianna contribute?? Come on now…peoples intrest in her is gonna run out soon as the next girl steps up, what will she be left with? A couple of yall that really think she can sing? Impossible.
I give my kudos to Rhianna. She comes very different, she has her own style. She isn’t afraid to do what she wants…..Go Girl!!!!

DAMN. sorry, haters. bottom line, beyonce is gonna have to come back HARD in order to stop this bitch. rihanna’s videos are REALLY putting beyonce’s to SHAME!”
HER VIDEO’S?????? WHAT THE FUCK? PLEASE RIHANNA CAN’T DO SHIT BUT PUT ON S&M GEAR AND FAKE LIKE SHE CAN SING! I KNOW FOR 1, I AM TIRED OF SEEING THIS BITCH ASS CHEEKS OUT. AT LEAST BEYONCE CAN SING, AND SHE CAN BE FULLY CLOTHED AND STILL ROCK THE MUTHAFUCING HOUSE! NO TRICKS. JUST TALENT
I used to love Fefe Dobson. I knew Rihanna had bit off her for a while now.
Ehh, Rihanna idk. What is so different about this video?
Reminded me of the movie Saw in some parts. I still don’t get whats so different and great about it just because its Rihanna?
Nothing is really new these days. Everything is pretty much recycled.
AND NOT TO MENTION..THAT BEYONCE CAN DANCE WHILE SINGING! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIRED OF RIHANNA..WE NEED TO CANNON BALL THIS BITCH OVER TO THE ISLANDS..DEEP
Rihanna is just an image, nothing more nothing less. Obviously it works for her though. I wonder whose swagga she gonna jack next. Like really think about it. Where do you see Rihanna in 2009? How much longer can she push the “look at me I’m different” thing.
Def Jam has about 3748937598730587037508743 other artists on that label thats still in line to get a chance to release something.
“Rihanna is a successful recording artist, but she just tries too hard to be “different”, and it comes off as fake. This whole “I’m so dark and bad”, phase…I’m not buyin’ it.”
_______________________________________________
Co-sign.
I like it. Very Janet Jackson-esque. Some scenes looked like Janet’s “Bet You Think This Song Is About You Video” (really dark and sinister and the make-up) and others like the “Get So Lonely” video (the part where she’s with the maniquin (sp?)). Two thumbs up to Rhianna for stepping out the box.
I like Rihannas last video and song, “Take a bow” or something like that…
The video is great she never disappoints me…The name of the video is “Disturbia” so all of you dunce dumb ass who thinks she is trying to sell a dark bad image in this video then you are as dumb as they come. Listen to the song then you will see that the video is very appropriate…Disturbia biyotches!
SMH at people bring up Beyonce’ what does she have to do with this post? They are two different artist in different positions in their career.
Keep “disturbing” the haters Rihanna…Great job on the video girl; keep up the great job!
Rihanna never seems authentic to me, but she is still young and her style is just a creation that her stylist dresses her in. First she stole beyonce’s look then it was kelis hair cut and style, now its Fe-Fe dobbs…and her new video has the same feel of the ring the alarm video… somebody needs to call this chick out quick! i’m so tired of her walking around screaming im “edgy” her hair always look like michael myers wig from holloween, she can’t sing or dance, ri ri you aren’t original at all you just cop every one style and claim it as your own.
Who is Fefe Dobson????????????????????
Seriously who????????? I think I’m gonna head over to google.
Ri Ri should be compared more to Madonna rather than Bey because Madonna was attacked the same way about her not being able to have longevity in the music business. If Bey was so great why didn’t her last cd out sell her 1st cd? Why didn’t she sell out tour dates? All Bey does is shake her ass in every video and every performance and wear revealing clothes. Trust me, there’s no talent in that.
I had to spell that right, so the three of you that were clowning me and my nose yesterday make sure ya’ll understand that! BTW, I left ya’ll a message in that thread…Sorry Mocha I accidently put your name in there by mistake.
zzzzzzzzz….dont know if it’s the song or the video but not as good as her other singles.
Rihanna is not an icon..Beyonce not an icon…They are both manufactured HOWEVER Rihanna is more manufactured than Beyonce…and hell Rihanna got a hell of PR person…
The video was aiight .. abit dramatic but it could easily grow on me…
I do not like her she has no talent.
Not a fan of Bey either….
NYC Girl, you are correct. There is nothing special about Beyonce either. She lacks talent as well. She shows more body and has been showing it longer, is the point. Ri Ri, is a copy cat. After looking at that video of FeFe, you can tell. All the music now and days suck.
I don’t care for T.I.P or Lil Wayne all of them are lame. Where is the real music at? All of it is pointless now. No, substance. Bey isn’t going to sell a lot of albums and neither will T.I. WE need our money for gas and you can buy the songs you want now for 99 cent. I am not into making all blk entertainers rich.. Only the ones with meaning and trying to help others and by not being in the spotlight for it also.
rihanna is just a singles chick she yet to sell the amount of cds needed for beyonce, mary, or mariah status. we all know that your sophmore album never sells as much as your freshman cd, but check 5 million plus cds is alot, face it a new haircut and neon fingernail polish don’t sell records…….talent does and since ri ri is without talent her future in the record industry seems glib.
mimimumbi
I cosign like mutha
she aint just bite off of fefe
bitch ate the whole plate
what a shame
and to think if she actually had talent i would have nothing to say…
test
Rihanna is a godesss
fefe seems original but she’s manufactured too…
don’t get me wrong i love me some fefe, but the truth remains she’s not what she seems. Its all good tho, we kno forhead is a swaggerjacker. She’s like %100 fake. Next
I am listening to my favourite dj on the radio right now…he is sooooooooooooooooo sexy! SEXY! I die inside just by hearing the sound of his voice he is sexy! sexy! sexy! I stalk him sometimes by calling the station to request a song…most of the time Rihanna’s songs of course
Anyway I know that this has nothing to do with the topic but I just find this man soooo sexy that I can’t keep it to myself
I want to have 10,000 of his babies!
He is speaking over the radio right now!!!!!!!!! Awwwwwwwwwwww I feel butterflies. I wish I could touch him
@ Living for my God tell it like it is gurl cause im with you.
Swagga’ jacka’. That style looks better on FeFe Dobson because it is who she really is. Rihanna is confused and still tryna find herself, so she looks fake tryna rock it.
Rhianna is the rick ross of pop
Put Camron on tv
I just lost ALL respect for Rihanna….. damn.
FeFe Dobson rocks, however, and totally just got a new fan. Plus, she’s insanely adorable.
@nexttopmodel: aren’t all singers manufactured? All stars? They’re like redone cars- still fabulous & valuable, but polished & made to look & run perfectly. (Hell, look@Beyonce even- original talent, most def, but rocking Chanel & able to speak the King’s English- hell no. Even white girl icon Marilyn Monroe was dieted, hair dyed, name changed, nose done.)
@ b.SL you are so right i co-sign 10 times
@T
Michael Jackson’s 2nd or 3rd album Thriller out sold his 1st! So did Whitney’s. There’s no truth to that theory. Bey’s last cd was totally garbage. Ne-yo’s Irreplaceable saved her cd and it was the only #1 hit on that cd. People didn’t buy her cd either they download only one single.
Everyone talks about how big Ri Ri’s forehead is. That is obvious but no one talks about Bey being cross eyed.
gO RIHANNA u can chnage your style however and whenever you want..if you love it and your fans like it where the hell do the hataz fit or come in at…keep makin that bread mama…keep steppin to your own until YOUR ready to take off the shoes and turn the beat off. Go head girl.
HI HATER:)
DIFFERENT YOU HAVE TO GET THE MONEY FROM ALL ASPECTS. WE ALL KNOW WHITE PEOPLE BUY THE MOST CD’S. GET IT GIRL.
I ANIN’T MAD I MOVE WITHTHE MONEY
*ONE*
I remember Fe Fe Dobison. Rihanna did jack her style. The reason Fe Fe never made it big is because she’s dark. Rihanna is light. Sad, I know but true.
Negrodamus Believes(5.99 chinese food lunch special=crack)(Check me out!)
She will become “keri hilson” in 2 years..
Anyways my nigga T.I.P. will have the album of the year..Paper Trail 9-02-08.
fuck Lil Wayne, free big meech, support your local dairy farms
____________
1. Kerri Hilson never has and never will shine like Rihanna has the past 3 years….she is just simply too old and she looks it. Not a very strong singer or songwritter either despite what she or anyone else believes.
2. I am not the biggest Beyonce fan, I do believe she is WAAAYYYY over rated but althought I like a Rihanna song from time to time (HATED AND STILL HATE UMBRELLA)Beyonce will NEVER have anything to worry about as far as Rihanna goes. She isn’t a good singer and she looks funny most of the time but I give her props for starting a trend of short hair. Everyone was Paris Hilton and Beyonce WEAVED OUT and here she came with something new and edgy. She took a risk and it paid off.
point is ri ri is hot garbage packaged in a shiny pretty bottle. people so disillusioned by her hype and “stolen swagger” that they dont give a damn about the fact that they just bought a c.d. that most would rather use to scrape gum off of shoes.
oh
and @ 2cute
there’s nothing wrong with ur nose they just needed something to talk about that day. notice how two posts later they was both like “i’d still hit” lol
WARNING:OPIONATED
Not the grammer police or anything, but it’s OPINIONATED not OPIONATED
NYC GAL
Lol! Lol! I co-sign 100%…
@ NYC GAL
I co-sign 100%…lol
@JJJ
Fefe Dobson came out back in 2002 I believe, she had a brief hit with the song take me away, it was actually a good song, she wrote all her material. Her style is exactly like Rihanna’s style now, gothic/punk rock, she was unique, however a black girl singing punk rock wasn’t selling and her label dropped her.
Rihanna needs to seriously stop swagger jackin!
@ NYC GAL
Beyonce’s ears are hella big too! HUGE! She can hear something from a mile away with those satellite dish she calls ears. LMAO
HATE ON HATERS.
Rihanna has embarrassed beyonce YET AGAIN.
the smartest thing beyonce ever did was marry jay z. now she has something to fall back on. rihanna is UNSTOPPABLE!
i dont like the video. its too dark and scary lookin. i feel like i need to go on the set with some holy water and a bible and pray!
beyonce’s next album will FLOP. guaranteed. her time has passed.
she’s boring. i’m sorry…NEXT
@ Lisa
Ohhhhhhh Ok then I never heard of Fefe Dobson…her name sounds familiar though. Well Rihanna ain’t doing anything that everybody else ain’t doing, she disappointed me by coming out with that confession! Damn you Rihanna! But I still love her though
Even rappers jack! They jack famouse lines from rap songs, example Jay-Z said “She saw my chain then she started relaxing now thats what a nigga call a chain reaction” this was in his song “money ain’t a thing”… that is one of the most recycled lines I’ve ever heard rappers use.
@ohf@ckthat!!!
. Kerri Hilson never has and never will shine like Rihanna has the past 3 years….she is just simply too old and she looks it. Not a very strong singer or songwritter either despite what she or anyone else believes.
2. I am not the biggest Beyonce fan, I do believe she is WAAAYYYY over rated but althought I like a Rihanna song from time to time (HATED AND STILL HATE UMBRELLA)Beyonce will NEVER have anything to worry about as far as Rihanna goes.

Everyone was Paris Hilton and Beyonce WEAVED OUT and here she came with something new and edgy. She took a risk and it paid off.
—————————————-
1. ok so what songs has ri ri written in the last 3 years? last i knew ne-yo was writtng this broads joints for her. keri hilson sound just damn fine. im actually glad im not forced to hear/see/know about her ass every single day like ri ri
2. she isnt original. if i recall kelis rock a near identical cut back in 2006 circa “bossy”. kelis did it justice, ri ri not so much. there are more as well.
Okey you niggas saying beyonce is gonna have to come harder… RIHANNA IS UGLY N CAN’T REALLY SING AND THAT VIDEO WAS LAME SO STFU
I go to other blogs and wedsites and the many people over those blogs are giving the video MAD LOVE…I should have known that Bossip folks wouldn’t like it!!!!!! Not everybody here dislike it though.
Don’t hate, congratulate she is incRIHdible!
The video was very different, but it scared the mess out of me honestly lol. It definitely fits the song so whoever did the video did a great job. IT just scares me.
Godsdivinegift,
lol I feel like I need to also. I can’t watch that video before going to bed. That reminds me of house on haunted hills or that other scary movie where those people were trapped in a house with some crazy ghosts.
i didn’t find it creepy. very different, i love the fact she’s willing to explore other genres.
it’s not my favorite video ever but i give her a lot of respect for just doing something other than dancing around in a hoochie getup at the club.. it’s different and that’s good. it suits her. everyone hates on her being edgy but if that’s her, she does it well. better that than another wig-wearing cookie cutter pop singer making boring videos of the same old bubblegum crap.
Talking about rappers jacking Jay-Z jacked the hell out of:
Biggie
Snoop Dogg
Nas
Flavor Flav!
Tupac
Ice T
And the list continues…damn! I can see that him and his wife have something in common.
LMAO…
My thing is what the hell does BEYONCE and RHI have in common besides the fact that they both know Jay and worked with him?
I’m only askin cause people keep comparing the two every time one or the other is posted on this blog.
Ok you like RHI, fine, what the fuck does that have to do with BEY and her business ventures?
I loooooove it ! Rih Rih never desappoint.
Rih_Rih make ya own path mommi….this is hot. I like the fact you are taking risk, dont worry ya people ill follow you.
I think Rihanna is wearing her “Bad Girl” style very well, but on the otherhand, I think it’s fake.
Think about it. She came to fame in 2005 with her first album Music of The Sun, less than a year later, A Girl Like Me, In 2007 Good Girl Gone Bad. (Wikipedia)
You tellin me in 2-3 years she’s magically gothic? Come on now.
Boy you can never please black people ! If she keeps doing the same thing you will say she’s has no creativity/originality but when she does something different you say she’s ” trying too hard”, what give ?
@ Godsdivinegift
LOL! That was funny…
The girl is trying to step out of the box; I say kudos to Rih Rih for doing just that!
It’s alright, but I’ll be daxned if she don’t look justlike FeFe.
@JJJ that’s a lie what is going on here is going on on every site. It’s America the land of the free and we are entitled to our opinions.
Boy I cant wait to see her perform this live……….
You see my gravatar…it is a picture of Rihanna and Beyonce’ a.k.a. Beyaki at the 2007 MTV awards; they are obviously not killing each other like some of you guys in here are doing.
Some like Rihanna (including me) and some like Beyonce’ (Beyaki)…they are two DIFFERENT artist; stop comparing them.
@ dayg715 YOU MUST BE A BEY HATER CAUSE HER TIME HAS NOT PASSED AND HER ALBUM WILL NOT FLOP OKAY
LMBAO AT JJJ AND DUBBITCHES
^I MET TO SAY DUMBBITCHES
@ bored
Ok so you are telling me what I saw???
Ok…
I also went to her fansite too and they were almost in tears! Her fans like the video that much; as well as the gossip folks on other blogs! So whatever…
loves it!!!! great to see a video that’s different from every other video out there…. work it rihanna!!!!
I am 100th!…100th is the new first.
omg!!!!!!!!!!!! this chick should fire her stylist, publicist,and her whole management team for allowing her to totally steal fe fe’s swagger and call it her own. what she should have done was pay respect to fe fe and admit how she loves her swagger and how she would like to patteren her career like fe fe and people would respect her more. you can see on the livesteez tape that fe fe movements and sound come from the soul and rihanna movements are all manufactured and animated poor ri ri welcome to the industry they built your career up off of someone else’s style and now you have been caught and hung out to dry like an old dirty dish rag. it is time to go in the vault and steal someone else style, 15 minutes and counting tic toc tic toc………….
Don’t hate, congratulate she is incRIHdible!
——————————-
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. wth is that?
Exactly. She steals from everyone: Beyonce, Victoria Beckham, Fefe Dobson, etc….and then she had the nerve to say that she wants to be different.
What a joke!
Sorry to double post, but I’m so glad that Bossip had stopped sucking up to her. I was sick and tired of it and had to leave, but the site has woken up and I’m back now. Keep it coming guys!
why when there is a post about rihanna beyonce name have to be attached,
beyamce had her time, now its rihanna’s give the girl some credit, i have to agree, her singing is not the best, but her songs are toppin the charts..
they catchy she trendy …she young, she has groupes she i cute, and she is just doing her thing
beside beyamce and rihanna are 2differnt kind of artist…..rihanna sings more pop music
beyamce stick to i guess R&B ( she is not the best singer either)
