Vintage RiRi

Filed under: Rihanna

Click here to watch Rihanna perform Hero at a high school talent show back in the day.

As Randy Jackson would say, it's "a bit pitchy" at times. But then again, not everyone has the range of a Mariah Carey.

She's not only pitchey, but also nasally. Rhianna has a VERY annoying voice and I can't stand to hear her sing. What happened to the day when only those who had talent and COULD sing received recording contracts?

wow,
awful
skip to the end so pitchy
if you don't have the range of mariah you don't pick a song by her
so many girls do the same thing with whitney songs
but come on we all new girlfriend could not sing just was lucky to be blessed with a hot body and face so some producer went cha ching!! the voice is fixed in post and we all buy the cd while some other not so hot but talented person struggles trying to get a record deal but never will

WTF! That was awful. How did she become famous lol. Anyway, no one should attempt to sing Mariah because her songs are the hardest songs to sing EVER. Mariah > everyone else!

Simon Cowell says – reply to this

Rhianna is just not a singer. She is an overexposed, marketed, no talent hack. Leontyne Price, now that is a singer. Mariah Carey isn't talented at all, but she's much more talented than Rhianna.

I actually liked it…
jackie joyner kersey says – reply to this

52

This is horrible! The only reason she is where she's at is look and Jay Z. Her voice is very mediocre. My girlfriend from season 6 on Idol could eat her for lunch. Although she was booted early from a bad song choice, she does the soul thang way better than Rhianna. Or whatever her real name is. And by the way, look up Amy Krebs from season 6.

I rather listen to Patti LaBelle says – reply to this

63

Re: mariah forever – Mariah Carey is boring and sings too much in head voice to be considered good. She destroyed the Star Spangled Banner. She uses too many runs and too much vibrato. She would be nothing without the whistle register note and any coloratura opera singer can hit it. Mariah sucks and is even worse as she ages.
wow says – reply to this

64

EWWWWW WORSTTT VOICE I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!! SHE CANT SING IF HER LIFE DEPENDED ON IT

Sumi Jo Is A Much Better Singer Than Mooriah says – reply to this

I think she's adorable. JayZ also thinks she's adorable. They will be a couple.

Undoubtedly Beyonce is old skank to JayZ…he will be moving on to a prettier and sweeter version of the wife he'll marry. And that wife, will not be Beyonce.
