I don't mind her vocals on "Te Amo" and "Live Your Life," and that song with Maroon 5, but now that I've listened to "Run the Night" or whatever the name of that Jigga song, I found her voice a bit annoying....she has a grunt-like sound...or like she's straining a bit. Hope she can take some voice lessons, because on certain songs she's not bad.

oh I hope not. I mean, I'm not a fan, and she's not the greatest singer, but there's nothing that KILLS the natural personality of a pop singer's voice faster than vocal training.

Are you serious? She sounds like she has breathing problems or something. And what personality are you talking about?

have you heard the way Madonna sings on her records ever since she got training for Evita? there used to be so much personality in her voice. she used to really belt that shit out. she wasn't technically proficient, but she could put a song across. she made you feel it. she made you think SHE was feeling it. there were quirks to her vocal delivery that made you want to sing along with her the way she was singing.

I don't get that at all on her most recent stuff. Too worried about singing it "right" rather than just really getting down in it and delivering the song.

Well, this could be true. But, Rihanna has yet to show much personality, let alone the type Madonna showed early in her career. So far, the songs seem to be bigger than Rihanna, ya know? Take "Umbrella" for example. Rihanna's serviceable, but I think she needs all help she can get!

rihanna has no personality. She's boring. She tries to compensate for her lack of personality and musical ability, with silly fashions trends that are considered innovative because she's black. Please. She'll be yesterday's news in 3 years tops.
Did Prince ever deny he had sex with his sister? I believe not. So there U have it..

Yeah, I liked that video. I'm talking about her musical persona, though. She comes across as bored sometimes on stage and on record. I like Rihanna but I do think she could use some help in learning how to not sing through her nose (or whatever it is that makes some of her vocals sound more like grunts), and connect with her material better. I do think she has potential, though. I'm not a hater.

And they actually are NOT. lol There isn't anything new or unique about her outfits, as everything she wears is a copied style from someone else (hair included). But for some reason, she receives constant attention and praise, with people always saying how wonderful her clothes look as she's strutting for the paparazzi on the sidewalks. disbelief .... lol

I never liked Rihanna´s face, but with this make-up, she looks real good.
