    OH NO….na uh….only madge can do madge. this bitch fucked it up.



  2. 2

    I was hoping for a night vision video!



  3. 3

    …not bad. Always nice to 'give good face'…"Superstar" that she is…



  4. 4

    Ok



  6. 6

    Thanks but no thanks.



  7. 7

    I thought she did a great job.



  8. 8

    I like this version better. Anything Rihanna touches turns to platinum and gold



  9. 9

    hmmmm. not very good



  10. 10

    We are dealing with her Madgesity~~~ given the fact that NO ONE can really do Madonna, except Madge, I think RiRi did a good job at the interpretation:)



  11. 11

    Maybe it would have been better if she wasn't so obviously lip singing…….even my 8 year old noticed!



  12. 12

    omg i love her version but i hate the video its really unclear..



  13. 13

    It's okay. Pre-recorded?



  14. 14

    im quite impressed, she should have done more "vogueing"



  15. 15

    Either she sounds awful live or she just can't do Madonna. Or both.



  16. 16

    Weak! Weak! Weak! If Rihanna is such the "hitmaker," she needs to write and sing her own shit like Madonna.

    CAN WE GET A VIDEO WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHATS GOIN ON LOL
    DIDNT THINK SHE WAS BAD THO



  20. 20

    THIS NON SINGING BITCH LIP SYNCED HER ASS OFF.

    THEN AGAIN, THAT NON SINGING BITCH WHOREDONNA DOES THE SAME THING.



  21. 21

    omg perez i am so glad you call her "princess riri" because she is such a total doll with an amazing vioce!!!!! love her!!



  22. 22

    My opinion on covers is if you can´t do it better don´t do it all!! Everyone should just stay away from Madonna covers because you can´t do it better she does!



  23. 23

    i dont care for madonna, but rihanna could release this as a single and it would be hotttt



  24. 24

    That show was like the MTV awards all over again. Same people . . .

    Did anyone notice that when all the ladies sang the Stand Up to Cancer number, Mariah was the only one with a Swarovski encrusted microphone?
    Diva!



  25. 25

    Her voice was fantastic, but she is OBVIOUSLY not nearly as athletic as Madonna.



  26. 26

    IMO Fashion Rocks was 1000 times better than the VMAS. the performances had more production value, bigger stars, plus im a huge denis leary fan. They covered old hits, and had new hits as well which is what MTV SHOULD have done for the 25th anniversary. whatevs i could go on all day. Fashion rocks was great!



  27. 27

    Not bad.



  28. 28

    Rihanna is a talentless peace of shit. Her career is basically built on taking pieces of other "real" artists material.



  29. 29

    God I hate this woman.. There is nothing she can't pull off.

    Seriously though, she's great and she knows it.



  30. 30

    SOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad!! I had to turn the channel because it was utterly awful! She is a joke if she thinks she can do Madonna.



  31. 31

    SHE WAS AWESOME, LOVE HER!



  32. 32

    Emmm, if someones gonna sing vogue they should at least learn to vogue, Gurl need to step her game up! : P



  33. 33

    Her singing, has no soul. It's almost robotic. Is she a cyborg?



  34. 34

    SHE FUCKING ROCKED!!!! RiRi CAN DO NO WRONG!!!!!!



  35. 35

    this made up, in every way possible, for her shiteous performance @ the vmas. bitch came back w/ a vengeance!



  36. 36

    She didn't do anything extrordinary with the song but
    I love Madge and I love Riri so it works!



  37. 37

    Oohlala!
    That was actually better than I expected it to be!



  38. 38

    Fashion Rocks turned out to be what the VMA's should have been…I mean come on, Debbie Harry stepping out of the car…Kid Rock and Lynard Skynnard…"moments" that the VMA's failed miserably to capture. MTV needs to fire their producers and take a look at what Fashion Rocks pulled off.



  39. 39

    Its an ok version from Rihanna but its not as good as Madonna



  40. 40

    GAWD she is one STIFF broad! All she does is poses even when she's supposed to be performing. Overrated chick indeed.



  41. 41

    You mean 'Rhianna Tries To Do Modonna'. The sound of her voice is so locked into 'Please Don't Stop The Music'. You can even hear it when she sings… tries to sing 'Vouge'. Typecasted singer. She won't last long in music years.



  42. 42

    ONLY ONE WAY TO DESCRIBE THIS - BLAND, BLAND, BLAND!!!



  43. 43

    When Madge sings, "Strike a pose," you'd better damn well do it!



  44. 44

    Take lessons on encoding video, it looks terrible I can;t see shit.



  45. 45

    I saw parts of the show last night. I thought it was fairly boring. It was uninspired celebrity karaoke in a bad nightclub looking set. They were all just going through the motions. Mary J seemed like the only one with any real talent.



  46. 46

    this sounds really good actually !!

    *MexicO*
    *AnA*



  47. 47

    I found her voice rather weak in her version of Vogue. Rihanna is talented however Madonna has an energy that cannot be mimicked.



  48. 48

    First performance of hers that I actually thought was decent but for some reason when she sings live I feel like I'm watching her do karaoke.
    As for the dancing, thank god it only required hand movements. Someone needs lessons from Benny Ninja



  49. 49

    this was awesome! definatly didnt expect it to be done as well as she did it. we are talking about the one and only madonna here, but it was good! right on riri



  50. 50

    Oh no… sorry Perez, I know you love your princess RiRi but she ain't got nutin' on Madge sister.



  51. 51

    eeeek she kinda sucks



  52. 52

    I love how everyone is adressing Madonna as "Her Madjesty"
    That old bat is dead! Mariah Is and will always be the QUEEN with the coive of an ANGEL!

    And i LOVE how Rihanna did this!



  53. 53

    So, I loved it… but lip synching??



  54. 54

    oh my god can't she keep her own songs it's already enough for us, don't touch the classics !



  55. 55

    this is fierce!



  56. 56

    i loved it! i think it was significant that a black singer was ripping off a white singer's song that originally ripped off a dance and culture unique to the black queer scene in new york circa the late 80s/early 90s. madonna stole the concept of voguing from them and its about time that rihanna steals it back!



  57. 57

    that snatch is constantly having an attitude with people who lip-sync and what the hell does she think she's doing here? She never sings that in tune when live…



  58. 58

    perfect…she sings as bad as Madonna, love the song though but Mage and Rhianna can't sing.



  59. 59

    WOW!! This girl is like herepes… U just can't get rid of her!!



  60. 60

    oops! I mean Herpes!! My bad :(



  61. 61

    Re: Russellicious – ^^ I agree. The performance was good because she lipsynced.



  62. 62

    that was absolutely horrible. no one madge should do her songs, otherwise it's a crime against our ears!



  63. 63

    I saw it live, it was good, nothing impressive, other than the fact that she had the balls to do Madonna. In the end she should stay away from madonna's style, because she didn't pulled it off. I like rihanna so much, but she needs more than a hit record to emulate Madonna or even aproach to her.

    64

    she's nothing i u compare her with madonna



  65. 65

    the back up singer sound like shit.



  66. 66

    are these haters crazy?.! look, I hate covers…it is a rare thing to redo without raping…she isn't even my style but she is sexy as shit and she rocked the fuck out of this song.



  67. 67

    She top Shit!!



  68. 68

    Nobody does it better then Her Madgesty!

  69. Gum18 says – reply to this


    69

  72. 72

    LEAVE THE VOGUING to the great one MADONNA…



  73. 73

    mmm…she did it 0k!
    but she´s oviouly not my queen!
    and i hated her "aztec" outfit mmm….
    from 0 to 10 6!



  74. 74

    I like Rihanna… BUT she didnt pull it off at ALL!!…. that song is so MADONNA that no one could do it better than madonna herself.

    75

    PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE ORIGINAL!



  76. 76

    seeing madge is old botoxed up ugly and cant do slut anymore because she has nothing but kaballah wrinkles and man arms rihanna was amazinnnggg …thats hot!



  77. 77

    Re: coyotee1978 – finally someone said it…every post i go to i see him



  78. 78

    This song fits only Madonna coz she's the only one with THE attitude for singing it, Rihanna should stay with her own songs…sorry



  79. 79

    I'm impressed wit her cover! I saw it and thought OH NO! But watched it and she actually covered it well! GO RIHANNA!



  80. 80
