Oh Rihanna!

When Rihanna first came out, back in 2000 something, I really don't know, I was like "I wonder how long will she be around?!" In my opinion, she was just another cute little pop singer who was going to be a one hit wonder, get her little 15 minutes of fame, and that was it. But then, she became relevant all over the place and I'm like okay, maybe she might be working with something here--- or she has really good management! Either way, she still around, regardless of what I thought, so I guess in the end, it really don't matter what my opinion is!

Until recently, I haven't been a big fan of hers, just because I saw her live once and I was highly disappointed with the performance she called herself giving the audience. It's a good thing I didn't pay for those tickets because I would've wanted my money back ASAP! She has no stage presence, no real choreography besides shaking her ass in the smallest shorts that have ever been produced on the planet Earth, and she can't sing her own damn songs because she's out of breath by the time she steps on stage. I was like, what kind of fuckery am I watching right now, cause that was ridiculous! I will never attend another Rihanna concert ever---- unless somebody just really wanted to go!

But anyway, she's starting to rub off on me now because I'm finding myself listening to her a lot these days. I listened to her album on itunes and I really did fall in love with the songs, especially "Cheers (drink to that)". It wasn't what I expected at all. I listened to all the songs without skipping any, which is very hard to do because a lot of the times, artist have their select few that they know fans will like and then they have those filler songs on the album just to take up a number for the tracks they can have per album. But Rihanna did that, I was very impressed and supported the album by downloading it------ the legal way this time LOL! I even created a radio station after her on Pandora, so she gotta be doing something right, I guess! So yeah, I guess you can say I'm becoming more fond on Rihanna, but I still wouldn't watch her live! With a little more practice and preparation, I think she can improve, but for now... I'd rather just enjoy her on my MP3 player!

  1. I completely agree with you-My problem with Rihanna is that she sounds the same or the songs go in one ear and out the other. HOWEVER, when I heard the song Cheers (drink to that), I fell in love with the song. It was one of the top songs on my playlist this summer!
