Nervous for HER? What about the youths' minds she's poisoning with this bullshit? She only knows that if she wants to keep getting paid, all she has to do is what she is told.
This chick can't sing. She can't dance. She has 0 personality.
All she seems to be is a living haircut; a walking mannequin with an accent.
Stylists dress her and she is paraded around on stage like a trophy without really doing much of anything. Her voice is crap. Her looks are carrying her career...correction, her IMAGE built by Def Jam is carrying her career.
I challenge anyone to prove differently. She doesn't write, which is okay, but almost any other artist who's not much of a writer is usually a strong performer. She is neither. A mannequin with a record deal; Barbados barbie.

That's totally correct. Plus, this woman is a thief in my opinion when it comes to her so-called "edgy" hair. Any current female artist can start wearing an interesting style, and she will take the look immediately before any of them become noticed with it. And it's not because of that trite reason "she's inspired by them," but instead it looks like blatant copying, with a slight change to make the styles look like they are original on her. At first it was Beyonce, then Posh Spice of course. But recently I've seen her copy Fefe Dobson (rocker short with long bangs), Cassie (shaved on the side), Janelle Monae (an upward pompadour), Keri Hilson (the blond streaks), and now this new Dutch artist named Eva Simmons. This was posted today on a music blog site (Concrete Loop):

Eva hasn't even released her album yet, and now SHE will look like the one who copied Rihanna, even though Eva's been wearing that style for months now. confused

She is totally ripping off Cassie's hair cuts (yes Rihanna has one shaved too) just google and search Cassies fashion photos from this year and the previous for her fashion work, Rihanna's team ripped it off

This song put me to sleep. bored Just not for me.
I'll still check out her album when it comes out though.
For some reason, I want her to do well. I think it is because I really enjoyed her last few singles.

I'm a female so why would selling her body work on me?

That arguments very weak and kinda proved you didn't listen to the song at all, just looked at the picture.

OT, I'm surprised she released this, considering the subject matter and how sensitive everyone is these days.


Of course I didn't listen to the song. Why would I? Her music doesn't interest me at all. She's not very talented and if it wasn't for Jay-Z she would be nowhere and if it wasn't for her recent situation with CB, she would really be nowhere.

Having said that, I'm sick to death of these women who sell records based on their looks, dress or who they're fucking. Give me real talent anyday.

OH SNAP! Where the hell is Tony? lol

Seems like somebody new got accused of joinining the illuminati clique wacky

Read this article...

Written by Necole Bitchie under Bitchie Chicks, Celebrities

Singer Tiffany Evans (best known for her stint on Star Search & single Promise Ring ft Ciara) blasted Rihanna’s new single “Russian Roulette” earlier today via twitter. Peep her vent below:

Russian Roulette= Suicidal Rate gon sky rocket!

You gotta watch what u say. Because there are a lot of weak people in the world. They are susceptible to anything so anything you say or do some people actually do listen. So make sure its nothing bad. Its okay to be deep,but not murder deep.

Man! I really wish I could tell you guys what the industry really is and what stars are apart of destroying this world. The stars who worship satan,and those who have killed to get the respect they have now. You’d be verrrry surprise. Some of your favorite people pretend to worship God but they only do that to save face. Or seem innocent.

Satan was head of music in heaven. He uses influential people…to help influence the world. Think about that. Once u make a certain amount of money. Just know that that’s when they ask u to join. To get in you have accept the beast, worship. Once you join they assist u with ur career.make u huge.only if u agree and obey to destroy Gods word.and his children.

Ppl listen and pay attention. Its a war going on right now between Good and Evil. Evil will rule this world for a min. The people that have this power are the people that RULE the whole world. I’m done I won’t say anymore before I get in trouble.

According to MM Highlights, Tiffany’s controversial tweets are centered around the “rumored corruption and brainwashing that goes on behind the scenes of the entertainment industry, often referred to as a group called the Illuminati“.

If you’ve never heard of the Illuminati before, it’s basically a group or organization of powerful people in the industry that brainwash audiences with hidden messages in songs, music video’s, political campaigns etc. Stars such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Matthew Knowles have all been accused of being involved, as have various politicians and actors.

Rihanna did not write the lyrics so I think we’d have to inquire with Ne-Yo about this, however Tiffany does have a point in regards to the messages that are sent in today’s music.


Don't worry about me Harle. I'm enjoying watching BlaqueKnight, LastDecember, & Cinnie dissing Rhinnan's bright ideas. wink

Serious? I stated my perspective. Why is that "taking it so seriously?" Please explain why my opinion is so "serious" about this chick when others' aren't? Is it because I'm not praising her for just being her?

She's basically the younger, black version of Britney Spears to me (which is initially what Def Jam wanted to market her as from what I've heard) and we all know that Britney has made quite a career off of being just an image with a good soundtrack regardless of how much credit many people like to give her. Not to mention all the little girls who used to worship her and dress like her while singing those sugar-coated sex lyrics which I found to be extremely disturbing and made me want to slap the dog mess out of these children's parents for crucifying artists like Marilyn Manson for doing less to morally destroy their innocent kids than Ms. Spears was doing in heavy rotation on MTV and the radio at the exact same time.

As much as it irritates and disgusts me to an extent, the world is full of 'sheeple' (young and old) who seem to buy music more with their eyes than with their ears at times. Personally, I care more about what I hear than what I see and in reality most of these female artists nowadays seem to rely heavily on image and good producers and songwriters to make them relevant and I don't think that's praisworthy, empowering, or even remotely inspiring at all, but that's just my own personal opinion. At the end of the day, if the music sounds good; it sounds good. Honestly, almost anyone who isn't tone deaf and can carry a tune can sing a Britney or Rihanna song just as good as they can so I give 90% of the credit to the people who actually 'make' the music and that's really not either of these two chicks when you read those liner notes in their CD booklets.

Yeah i agree, i think she was a lesser version of a Beyonce for Def Jam to market, i mean hello...Jay Z, Beyonce she is at Sony, they wanted something to fit that mold at a label he had stock in. I cant give her Britney credit, we may all think Britney is biting off this and that, madonna and janet wannabe, but at the end of the day britney still has to win you over enough to buy her and go to her shows, Rihanna to me could never be on that ICON level, and yes i would have to call Britney an ICON at this point, good or bad that is what it is, and how she got it, shows how we are today as a public. Rihanna can give you a catchy song here and there, but so can alot of people so she isnt seperate from a class of others that can give me what they are giving just as good.

I think people are giving her a pass on this whole angle of the song, it is in a way disturbing where its almost a cash-in on domestic Violence. And i know its about her taking her life blah blah blah, but give me a break, a gun shot, an eye patch, its nice that we are now marketing abuse that happend.

Yeah thats why im finding it a little bit interesting that this is the angle to come back with, so soon. I know that is the way of the game, like Chris Rock said about 50 Cent, "no one know what this guy was rapping all the knew was, he got shot 9times" i mean that shit was in the press release, WHAT ever happend to your musical background?? Not your criminal background. I find it really IRONIC that the current VH1 Behind The Music specials are all about CRIMINALS in rap? Anyone find that ironic, feeding the stereotype once again. I mean look at it, theres a Lil Wayne one running (criminal) theres a TI one (criminal) the nfamous Biggie one (criminal) the 2pac one (criminal).
