Peep Rihanna tryin’ to promote that whole “dark and edgy” appeal in this new video “Disturbia.”

If you’ve ever wondered what, or who, inspired ole Rih-Rih’s present day look and feel, click here.

    I Love it! Very Different :o )

  • cindy

    Don’t like it!

  • fnioeu

    She has posted this pic on a dating club ” C a s u a l S e e k . C o m ” . Many of her fans were seeking for her and wanna chat with her.She is very hot on that club and that club is also hot because of her.

  • Maryluv

    With all these hot videos and songs and a re release she is still stuck at only 1.5 Million records sold. I will be glad when they hype dies down on this no talent girl because all she is is hype and she hasnt even gone double platinum and this is her 6th single off that album….

  • LdyK

    Don’t really like the Vid…or the song… I am growing tired of her. I hope she can re-invent herself …(or the def jam label execs) this is a lil tooo dark for me.

  • LdyK

    LOL @ negrodamus…bat gone blind! LOL PRICELESS…you are a fool for that one!

  • Chaka

    Pop Music…sounds like old Duran Duran. I like it.

  • Aunt Viv

    I’m mad at Negrodamus LMAO!!!

  • 2cute4u♥♥♥

    @negrodamus

    You’re right, TI will have a hot album in september.

    Rihanna is a successful recording artist, but she just tries too hard to be “different”, and it comes off as fake. This whole “I’m so dark and bad”, phase…I’m not buyin’ it.

  • Darling Nikki

    I think this is really cool, she is appropriating the steez of MJ, Janet and Madonna. She and her bf Chris are showing a alternative/goth side which is cool. All black folks are not alike. There can be a Bey and Rhi, both can stack the paper. Stop hating haters.

  • Lauren

    Ummmmm…yea I’m speechless, and not in a good way

  • 6 Figgaz

    No.

    As for the “steez of MJ”…lol you must mean number 23, cause he doesn’t make music, neither does Rhiana

  • the diva has spoken.

    I think it’s cool.

  • Dana Dane

    She not better thn Bey, but Bey not better thn her either, cant compare the two, that video is fire because its different, I can dig it!!

  • Mandah? chocolate raaaain!

    solomon, ur serious?

  • LdyK

    Negrodamus!

    SHUT UP!!!!!!! LOL you are crazy….i just laughed out loud at work at your comment!

    :O

  • Mandah? chocolate raaaain!

    omg negrodmus! rollin, word is her live shows are just as worse as keyshia coles are lol ( yall know yall saw that hot mess of a perfomance on the bet awards lol)

  • mimimumbi

    I knew about Fefe when she first came out, i guess she didnt quite cut it or people didnt take to her as they did Rihanna, BUT fefe is a better artist hands down, but oh well, it happens. Rihanna has no talent but whomever is backing her is doing a great job of hiding the fact that she is manufactured. She has gotten better, but will never be great!

    She stole fefe’s whole look, someone needs to blast her more on this. An icon is an originator of something, not a copy cat. I dont care one way or another BUT if you swagger jacking, then u need to be called out.

    And for those who believe Beyonce needs to come harder, wait until her Nov. Release, it will be more like Rihanna who? fact is, Rihanna is a gimmic, as was Paula Abdul, Britney, and so many others who were manufactured and couldnt sing worth a lick, but they could entertain. Beyonce shouldnt even be compared to this chick here, Rihanna has no talent and she cant sell records. She won a grammy based on Jay-Z’s help on a Single….thats all!

  • $m♥K.E.Y.

    trying tooo hard

    yes her and FeFe Dobson are quite similar

  • bored

    I read this off of another board and it’s riri in a nutshell.

    All hype..babygirls got no talent, at all. Good editing and stuff for the video. Nice concept. But what did rhianna contribute?? Come on now…peoples intrest in her is gonna run out soon as the next girl steps up, what will she be left with? A couple of yall that really think she can sing? Impossible.

  • http://hiphopstan.com hiphopstan.com

    I give my kudos to Rhianna. She comes very different, she has her own style. She isn’t afraid to do what she wants…..Go Girl!!!!

    check out hiphopstan.com for the latest news, rumors, advice (ask diva) and the community…

  • JBaby

    I used to love Fefe Dobson. I knew Rihanna had bit off her for a while now.

    Ehh, Rihanna idk. What is so different about this video?

    Reminded me of the movie Saw in some parts. I still don’t get whats so different and great about it just because its Rihanna?

    Nothing is really new these days. Everything is pretty much recycled.

  • JBaby

    Rihanna is just an image, nothing more nothing less. Obviously it works for her though. I wonder whose swagga she gonna jack next. Like really think about it. Where do you see Rihanna in 2009? How much longer can she push the “look at me I’m different” thing.

    Def Jam has about 3748937598730587037508743 other artists on that label thats still in line to get a chance to release something.

    I like it. Very Janet Jackson-esque. Some scenes looked like Janet’s “Bet You Think This Song Is About You Video” (really dark and sinister and the make-up) and others like the “Get So Lonely” video (the part where she’s with the maniquin (sp?)). Two thumbs up to Rhianna for stepping out the box.

  • tlp

    Rihanna never seems authentic to me, but she is still young and her style is just a creation that her stylist dresses her in. First she stole beyonce’s look then it was kelis hair cut and style, now its Fe-Fe dobbs…and her new video has the same feel of the ring the alarm video… somebody needs to call this chick out quick! i’m so tired of her walking around screaming im “edgy” her hair always look like michael myers wig from holloween, she can’t sing or dance, ri ri you aren’t original at all you just cop every one style and claim it as your own.

  • NYC Gal

    Ri Ri should be compared more to Madonna rather than Bey because Madonna was attacked the same way about her not being able to have longevity in the music business. If Bey was so great why didn’t her last cd out sell her 1st cd? Why didn’t she sell out tour dates? All Bey does is shake her ass in every video and every performance and wear revealing clothes. Trust me, there’s no talent in that.

  • kiki

    zzzzzzzzz….dont know if it’s the song or the video but not as good as her other singles.

  • kai

    Rihanna is not an icon..Beyonce not an icon…They are both manufactured HOWEVER Rihanna is more manufactured than Beyonce…and hell Rihanna got a hell of PR person…

  • kai

    The video was aiight .. abit dramatic but it could easily grow on me…

  • azdelish

    I do not like her she has no talent.

    Not a fan of Bey either….

  • Living for my God

    NYC Girl, you are correct. There is nothing special about Beyonce either. She lacks talent as well. She shows more body and has been showing it longer, is the point. Ri Ri, is a copy cat. After looking at that video of FeFe, you can tell. All the music now and days suck.

    I don’t care for T.I.P or Lil Wayne all of them are lame. Where is the real music at? All of it is pointless now. No, substance. Bey isn’t going to sell a lot of albums and neither will T.I. WE need our money for gas and you can buy the songs you want now for 99 cent. I am not into making all blk entertainers rich.. Only the ones with meaning and trying to help others and by not being in the spotlight for it also.

  • t

    rihanna is just a singles chick she yet to sell the amount of cds needed for beyonce, mary, or mariah status. we all know that your sophmore album never sells as much as your freshman cd, but check 5 million plus cds is alot, face it a new haircut and neon fingernail polish don’t sell records…….talent does and since ri ri is without talent her future in the record industry seems glib.

  • Lauren

    test

  • http://www.anythingblack.net www.anythingblack.net

    Rihanna is a godesss

  • NextTopModel

    fefe seems original but she’s manufactured too…

    don’t get me wrong i love me some fefe, but the truth remains she’s not what she seems. Its all good tho, we kno forhead is a swaggerjacker. She’s like %100 fake. Next

  • Stop it okay

    @ Living for my God tell it like it is gurl cause im with you.

  • Oh uh uh!!!

    Swagga’ jacka’. That style looks better on FeFe Dobson because it is who she really is. Rihanna is confused and still tryna find herself, so she looks fake tryna rock it.

  • Negrodamus Believes(Rick Ross looks like Christopher Wallace’s Baby-fat)

    Rhianna is the rick ross of pop

  • Negrodamus Believes(Bob Barker Sold Slaves)

    Put Camron on tv

  • b.SL

    I just lost ALL respect for Rihanna….. damn.

    FeFe Dobson rocks, however, and totally just got a new fan. Plus, she’s insanely adorable.

    @nexttopmodel: aren’t all singers manufactured? All stars? They’re like redone cars- still fabulous & valuable, but polished & made to look & run perfectly. (Hell, look@Beyonce even- original talent, most def, but rocking Chanel & able to speak the King’s English- hell no. Even white girl icon Marilyn Monroe was dieted, hair dyed, name changed, nose done.)

  • UM HUM

    @ b.SL you are so right i co-sign 10 times

  • NYC Gal

    @T

    Michael Jackson’s 2nd or 3rd album Thriller out sold his 1st! So did Whitney’s. There’s no truth to that theory. Bey’s last cd was totally garbage. Ne-yo’s Irreplaceable saved her cd and it was the only #1 hit on that cd. People didn’t buy her cd either they download only one single.

    Everyone talks about how big Ri Ri’s forehead is. That is obvious but no one talks about Bey being cross eyed.

  • WARNING:OPIONATED

    gO RIHANNA u can chnage your style however and whenever you want..if you love it and your fans like it where the hell do the hataz fit or come in at…keep makin that bread mama…keep steppin to your own until YOUR ready to take off the shoes and turn the beat off. Go head girl.

  • Dasha

    HI HATER:)

    DIFFERENT YOU HAVE TO GET THE MONEY FROM ALL ASPECTS. WE ALL KNOW WHITE PEOPLE BUY THE MOST CD’S. GET IT GIRL.

    I ANIN’T MAD I MOVE WITHTHE MONEY

    *ONE*

  • sara

    I remember Fe Fe Dobison. Rihanna did jack her style. The reason Fe Fe never made it big is because she’s dark. Rihanna is light. Sad, I know but true.

  • Mandah? chocolate raaaain!

    point is ri ri is hot garbage packaged in a shiny pretty bottle. people so disillusioned by her hype and “stolen swagger” that they dont give a damn about the fact that they just bought a c.d. that most would rather use to scrape gum off of shoes.

    oh

    and @ 2cute

    there’s nothing wrong with ur nose they just needed something to talk about that day. notice how two posts later they was both like “i’d still hit” lol

  • ohf@ckthat!!!

    WARNING:OPIONATED

    Not the grammer police or anything, but it’s OPINIONATED not OPIONATED :)

  • Lisa

    @JJJ

    Fefe Dobson came out back in 2002 I believe, she had a brief hit with the song take me away, it was actually a good song, she wrote all her material. Her style is exactly like Rihanna’s style now, gothic/punk rock, she was unique, however a black girl singing punk rock wasn’t selling and her label dropped her.

    Rihanna needs to seriously stop swagger jackin!

  • dayg715

    HATE ON HATERS.

    Rihanna has embarrassed beyonce YET AGAIN.

    the smartest thing beyonce ever did was marry jay z. now she has something to fall back on. rihanna is UNSTOPPABLE!

  • Godsdivinegift

    i dont like the video. its too dark and scary lookin. i feel like i need to go on the set with some holy water and a bible and pray!

  • dayg715

    beyonce’s next album will FLOP. guaranteed. her time has passed.

  • bootlegger

    she’s boring. i’m sorry…NEXT

  • Mandah? chocolate raaaain!

    @ohf@ckthat!!!

    . Kerri Hilson never has and never will shine like Rihanna has the past 3 years….she is just simply too old and she looks it. Not a very strong singer or songwritter either despite what she or anyone else believes.

    2. I am not the biggest Beyonce fan, I do believe she is WAAAYYYY over rated but althought I like a Rihanna song from time to time (HATED AND STILL HATE UMBRELLA)Beyonce will NEVER have anything to worry about as far as Rihanna goes. She isn’t a good singer and she looks funny most of the time but I give her props for starting a trend of short hair. Everyone was Paris Hilton and Beyonce WEAVED OUT and here she came with something new and edgy. She took a risk and it paid off.

    —————————————-

    1. ok so what songs has ri ri written in the last 3 years? last i knew ne-yo was writtng this broads joints for her. keri hilson sound just damn fine. im actually glad im not forced to hear/see/know about her ass every single day like ri ri

    2. she isnt original. if i recall kelis rock a near identical cut back in 2006 circa “bossy”. kelis did it justice, ri ri not so much. there are more as well.

  • Lady Architect

    The video was very different, but it scared the mess out of me honestly lol. It definitely fits the song so whoever did the video did a great job. IT just scares me.

  • Lady Architect

    Godsdivinegift,

    lol I feel like I need to also. I can’t watch that video before going to bed. That reminds me of house on haunted hills or that other scary movie where those people were trapped in a house with some crazy ghosts.

  • GetReal

    it’s not my favorite video ever but i give her a lot of respect for just doing something other than dancing around in a hoochie getup at the club.. it’s different and that’s good. it suits her. everyone hates on her being edgy but if that’s her, she does it well. better that than another wig-wearing cookie cutter pop singer making boring videos of the same old bubblegum crap.

  • DaisyRose

    I loooooove it ! Rih Rih never desappoint.

  • original1

    Rih_Rih make ya own path mommi….this is hot. I like the fact you are taking risk, dont worry ya people ill follow you.

  • DaisyRose

    Boy you can never please black people ! If she keeps doing the same thing you will say she’s has no creativity/originality but when she does something different you say she’s ” trying too hard”, what give ?

  • I’m Just Me (GIVE ME A QUARTER AND I’LL TELL YOU YOUR FORTUNE!!)

    It’s alright, but I’ll be daxned if she don’t look justlike FeFe.

  • bored

    @JJJ that’s a lie what is going on here is going on on every site. It’s America the land of the free and we are entitled to our opinions.

    Boy I cant wait to see her perform this live……….

  • 4 real

    @ dayg715 YOU MUST BE A BEY HATER CAUSE HER TIME HAS NOT PASSED AND HER ALBUM WILL NOT FLOP OKAY

  • DrmKpr

    loves it!!!! great to see a video that’s different from every other video out there…. work it rihanna!!!!

  • tlp

    omg!!!!!!!!!!!! this chick should fire her stylist, publicist,and her whole management team for allowing her to totally steal fe fe’s swagger and call it her own. what she should have done was pay respect to fe fe and admit how she loves her swagger and how she would like to patteren her career like fe fe and people would respect her more. you can see on the livesteez tape that fe fe movements and sound come from the soul and rihanna movements are all manufactured and animated poor ri ri welcome to the industry they built your career up off of someone else’s style and now you have been caught and hung out to dry like an old dirty dish rag. it is time to go in the vault and steal someone else style, 15 minutes and counting tic toc tic toc………….

  • Mandah? chocolate raaaain!

    Don’t hate, congratulate she is incRIHdible!

    ——————————-

    woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. wth is that?

  • http://lonelysealonelysky.wordpress.com/ DreamWriter

    Exactly. She steals from everyone: Beyonce, Victoria Beckham, Fefe Dobson, etc….and then she had the nerve to say that she wants to be different.

    What a joke!

  • tropical

    why when there is a post about rihanna beyonce name have to be attached,

    beyamce had her time, now its rihanna’s give the girl some credit, i have to agree, her singing is not the best, but her songs are toppin the charts..

    they catchy she trendy …she young, she has groupes she i cute, and she is just doing her thing

    beside beyamce and rihanna are 2differnt kind of artist…..rihanna sings more pop music

    beyamce stick to i guess R&B ( she is not the best singer either)

  • Mandah? chocolate raaaain!

    she should title her deluxe album for good girl gone bad “good girl stole swag”

    dead ass

  • NYC Gal

    If Ri Ri took some pointers from Fe Fe. So what? She making it her own but adding her personal style.

    Bey jacked Tina moves and J.Lo’s style of dressing.

    Ms. Queen of Soul herself i.e.(Aretha)took her singing style from Mahalia Jackson and Dina Washington. At one point Aretha was even trying to look like Mahalia. Y’all thought Ms Queen of Soul was original! Please!

    Michael Jackson jacked James Brown’s dance moves and also jacked the moonwalk from street performers BUT he made those moves his own. With the moonwalk, he stood on his toes!

  • LdyK

    (giving you dillusional peple who think you’re Rhianna the side-eye)

    miss Fenty is nearing her end…sorry to say. I want Bey to take some time off and pop out a kid and relax. Not for nothing I thought Solange was wack but I am really feeling “I decided” I do also appreciate Keri hilson song…yeah she’s older…SO WHAT. I rather her more issues I can relate to that someone talking baout lipstick…or google me.

    I also think Ne-yo should deman that the songs he writes for her should say “featuring Ne-yo or Neyo w/ Rhianna! LoL
    :P

  • LdyK

    sorry for the typo’s eating lunch

  • hope

    what song was that playing on the livesteez with fefe and rhianna?? Please help me its hot!!!

  • tropical

    Exactly. She steals from everyone: Beyonce, Victoria Beckham, Fefe Dobson, etc….and then she had the nerve to say that she wants to be different.

    What a joke!

    @Ldyk

    (giving you dillusional peple who think you’re Rihanna the side-eye)

    The only people that can give the side-eye is cross eyed people like Bey.

    I actually agree with you that Ne-Yo should demand that the songs he write should say featuring Ne-Yo etc because it will stop Bey from claiming she wrote the song.

  • U said it

    @ NYC gal you are so right nothing is original. People stop hatin on rihanna many of these females copy. get your facts straight then come back

  • JBaby

    I am far from a Beyonce fan but Neyo already cleared that up and said She did help with the melody of the song. Plus it was already out there that Neyo written the song.

    That is pretty much old news.

    Yeah she bit off of Fefe. I just wish she wouldn’t be so “yeah I did it all by myself ” about it. We all know she wasn’t selling in the beginning so they had to think fast and change it up. Like how Chris Brown gives MJ his props. She could be like yeah, I thought that Fefe Dobson inspiried my transformation. Its also funny how Fefe was on Island Def Jam too.

    Like lets jack Fefe’s style and give it to Rihanna she doesn’t have to do punk rock though. She could just have the look but sing r&b to be views as original.

    Why when people say something negative about Rihanna they automatically are “haters”? What happend to people just having different views on a situation.

  • Spoony G

    >>>>>>>>>>>> Rhi Rhi works it out PERIOD…. It’a all Entertainment. and she sells records and sells out concerts so GO RHI RHI… Can the Ahters atleast admit that she is a Commerical Success.. Geeez

  • NYC Gal

    @JBaby

    FeFe Dobson IS not the originator of that look. FeFe jacked that look from Joan Jett and Grace Jones. So why should Ri Ri gave a thief credit?

    R.E. If it was old news why is Ne-Yo still defending that he wrote the song on Tavis Smiley? You need to tell Ne-Yo to put it to rest.

    No CURRENT artist is an ORIGINATOR!!

  • KISS RIHANNA’S AZZ & MINEZ

    Whoever said Rihanna has outsold Beyonce is wrong. Beyonce’s album has sold over 6 million worldwide.

    Rihanna’s fans are really delusional. Beyonce can headline a tour by herself and actually sounds better live.

    If Beyonce is not talented, then please tell me who is?

  • NYC Gal

    @ Chicago

    NOW RIHANNA HAS WENT ALL OVER THE WORLD SCREAMING I CHANGED MY LOOK TO BE DIFFERENT FROM EVERYBODY MORE “EDGY”

    She is right! Why? Because she is DIFFERENT from all the artist that is out there NOW. Is she ORIGINAL in the sense that she was the 1st to have that look? Hell No! But I can tell her apart from Beyonce, Ashanti, Cassie, Jessica, Cierra, Britney, Christina M., Christina A. etc.

    I always mistake Ashanti and Beyonce and I get confused who singing on the radio. That is not good when you are in a creative field like music.

    Ri Ri was in that same category a few years ago but she stepped up her game and I give props to artist who try to be different from what is out there.

    If you called $50,000 naira = $500US free. People flew in from the UK to attend that concert. Nigeria has alot of rich people but if you want to see proverty just look at New Orleans.

    Did anyone else note that Rihanna (Def Jam) started running with this style shortly after Fefe Dobson (Island Def Jam) was dropped from her label???? And yes, she was dropped just days before the release of her second album……maybe so they could make room for a certain someone else? Oh well, Fefe’s independent album should be out this summer…

  • VoiceOfReason

    ATTENTION JJJ:

    Make your haters your motivators? Yeah, Rihanna jacked that too. Everyone knows thats from Porscha Fox (rockin the box on V103).

    Sorry, reality sucks.

  • NYC Gal

    Just saw Ri Ri’s Disturbia video. Love it!! Just love it!! It is up there with the greats (M. Jackson & Madonna).

  • cali

    @NYC Gal

    There’s a difference between BEING “INSPIRED” and straight up “SWAGGER JACKING”

    Most artists are inspired by so and so but your Girl straight up stole everything AND the kitchen sink.

  • jassi

    y are people even comparing rhi to beyonce?…beyonce has been doin this for years, and i’ll let you know now that it got to a point where I was sick and tired of beyonce, but i must admit that the woman is a great entertainer, and whether people like it or not, she’s goin down in history as one of the greatest…when i have kids and they get to be my age,they will look at her the same way i look at diana, and whitney (the old whitney lol)…now can you honestly look in someone’s face and say rhi rhi is at that point? Naw you cant, and if you can then you on some other sh*t. I’m not sayin rhi rhi won’t get to that point one day ( i doubt it though) but you cant honestly compare. And do you really think Bey, or Rhi give a f**k? I mean who cares which one is a better performer, or more talented, both those women are still rich as sh*t and they get to do what they love.

    i think the only reason people want to compare them is because they are both affiliated with jay-z

    and i think rhi rhi’s whole “goth” image is gettin old, im not impressed anymore…i honestly think her old image seemed more true to who she really is…but i guess you gotta do what you gotta do to get that money, and she’s obviously givin the people what they want…but lets see how long it will last.

  • NYC Gal

    To all the FeFe Dobson supporters;

    If FeFe was so great, why did Def Jam dropped her ass?

    Bigger question: If she was so great, why didn’t another record label pick her ass up?

    Independent = selling from the trunk of a car or going on the subway and hawking your cd or ordering small fries and supersizing it to large fries with a free cd.

  • NYC Gal

    @Cali

    You don’t need to tell me that. You need to share that info. with Beyonce. Why you stealing Tina? Is Ike family getting royalities? Have you given back Tina her heels yet? Why you step on Tina’s foot when you were performing at the Grammys?

  • flyyounglady

    she should just be a model…leave the singing to singers.

  • cali

    @NYC Gal

    How is “crazy in love”, “get me bodied”, etc beyonce’s weave, her singing style and clothes and videos in any EXACT/COPY comparison to good ol’ Tina Turner?

    And why do you have to justify your comments by bringing in Beyonce to an Intelligent conversation?

    Why didn’t you pick Mary J, Pharell, Alicia keys, Brandy, Kanye or any other artists embracing the charts right now into your REASONING?

    Oh I know why. Because you have a brain the size of a nut and all that runs in it all day is Beyonce and Rhianna.

    Hate having discussions with imbaciles.

    You are dismissed.

  • cali

    @jjj

    You’ve mentioned this “there was another one” concert MORE THAN 3 TIMES but won’t really mention which one so we can verify your claims.

    Can you verify your rumblings?

  • NYC Gal

    @Cali

    I forgot to add that “Inspired” is the PC term for “Swagger Jacking”.

    No one attacks Ne-Yo’s song Closer for being “Inspired” by songs on M. Jackson’s Off the Wall album. So why attack Ri Ri?

  • NYC Gal

    @ Cali

    First, everyone is comparing the two ladies.

    Bey’s lace-front wig was “inspired” by Tina’s blonde wigs.

    Clothes – Bey used all the designers that J.Lo was using. Even R. Cavalli gave J.Lo the credit.

    Bey’s Crazy in Love video was “inspired” by Tina’s what’s love got to do with it video e.g. the walk in the beginning is straight up Tina in heels in What’s love.

    Bey’s singing style is Tina’s. Tina is constantly flicking the wig when she sings & dances and so does Bey.

    Get me Bodied was “inspired” by the drag queen shows.

    @Negrodamus……..You are a trip!!! LOL!!! And T.I. is the sh*t!!! I can’t wait until his CD drop!

    BTW…I love RiRi but this is not working for me…I am a little disturbed….

  • SOLDIERGIRL

    @NYGAL CO-SIGN 100% ABSOLUTELY no original artist out today!!! Not a fan of either but I do listen to their music when it’s on the radio/TV or something don’t buy it I think both ladies are Ok in their own field, but their song style is totally different. My question is why must there only be one artist that can be #1, especially in the Black Industry?? Neither artist will make any hearts stop but if I had a preference I would choose Ri, BECAUSE she has a different sound & look whether it’s her’s or not, please remember ppl she is a KID so before she comes into her own THE MUSIC she will go thru a lot of changes. what about all the Justin Timberfakes who jacked MJ swagger & still sold millions & had Blk folk drooling like puppies (yuk)never understood that one, ANYWHO NSYNC, NKOTB & 98 degrees jacked New Editions style, not to mention the Elvis’s of the world who jacked Jackie Wilson style, Jerry Lewis / Lil Richard ….on & on & on & Rappers today ALL are Style/Swagger snatchers. No original beats, very few original lines it’s all one big F….ed UP so called music mess…..

  • *Godiva Queen*

    To all the people invoking the Rihanna bit Fefe Dobson mantra I’ll say this, If you all had supported Fefe when she was making music she would still have a record deal. None of you give a damn about Fefe yall are just hating on Rihanna. If the roles were reversed and Fefe was the one having the success yall would be hating on Fefe saying she jacked so and so’s style and she has no talent. Face it some of yall just hate seeing that black girl experiencing so much success. To everyone who thinks Fefe is the originator of that short hair cut you just proved how truly ignorant you are. That haircut has been around for years. Madonna wore in the Papa Don’t Preach video. Pat Benatar wore it before Madonna. Lisa Bonet wore it the year before she started A Different World.

    I guess you haters got to have something to hold on to in order to feel better about yourselves.

  • dayg715

    well, both rihanna and beyonce are performing at the “fashion rocks” concert for NYC fashion week on september 9. we’ll see who’s the baddest chick then.

    RIHANNA, OF COURSE!!

  • dayg715

    and while we’re on it, while you rihanna haters are claiming that she swagger jacks, guess what? BEYONCE DOES THE SAME THING!!! she rips people off just as much as rihanna does, if not more. sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me.

    and who the hell is fefe dobson?

  • Mrs. D’angelo

    Wow I can’t believe she just completely stole FeFe Dobson’s style like that I can’t wait for Beyonce to come back and show this B!tch who’s who!!!

  • Kai

    whoever said that fefe dobson is fake need to sit their asses down. rhianna is the fake swagger jacker breezy here. how you gonna claim ur punk, emo or whatever…rock the fits, but never listened to any of the music…and these watered down bands like falloutboy gym class heroes etc.. do not cut it. fefe is a die hard rocker at heart…like myself and nobody likes a poser.

  • black woman

    i love the song and video its nice! just cuz you black u dont have to stick to yo damn black roots this why she selling out you unhappy things are crazy.

    and hell no she aint better then beyonce only thing she has is her image.

    while beyonce her voice her dance moves and her damn looks and body.

  • Bill Bigsby

    rihanna is a biter

  • Jade

    Song is dry video is boring, rihanna is as edgy as britney spears. The only decisions rihanna makes is which leg to put in front of the other.

  • to nyc, from chicago

    beyonce is a talented women, rihanna is a teenager there is no comparison, beyonce wears her style like a confident woman, she never looks uncomfortable and she is the only artist i will pay money to see in concert because she don’t act like she is to cute to sweat and perform unlike rihanna. rihanna will always be second, beyonce is the only artist that tina turner came out of retirement for, who can rihanna get out of retirement????????? beyonce has sang duets with only the greats luther vandross, prince,tina turner,etc. do any of you even remember rihannas lame performance with the time? but everybody still talks about beyonce and tina’s performance to this day, when everyone stfu they will realize that talent will always prevail!!!!!!!!

    over manufactured animated talent. you are now dismissed!!!!!!!!

  • NYC Gal

    @Chicago

    Are you refering to me?

    Bey is talented…at booty shaking. When Bey performs she is on a mission. Am I arching my booty right? check. Can the audience see my underwear? check. Am I screaming like I’m having an orgasm? check. Is Cousin IT (lace front)moving? check. Is that what you paying for?

    Did you see the video she did with Shakira? I thought Ms. Bey was going to hurt herself. I was about to Ring the Alarm.

    She should take a cue from Ri Ri and enjoy & have fun on stage. Don’t take herself so serious!

  • Ahjahni
  • kai

    so it seems that fefe is aware of rihanna’s swagger jacking..and seems ok with it… check the link below.

  • NYC Gal

    Enough with this FeFe Dobson! Her 1st cd was a flop. Right? Then she started acting up at Def Jam. Big Mistake! Not only did Def Jam lost money on her but on top of that she tried to rebel at their marketing system!

    So why didn’t FeFe go to another record company with her grand marketing plans? Oh yes, no other record company didn’t want to loose money like Def Jam and have a novice questioned their marketing system.

    I heard Tiari Mari was dropped also because of poor cd sales but at least she didn’t rebel at their marketing system. Another record company did picked her up…eventually.

    Moral of this story: Ri Ri took pointers from FeFe Dobson. She went along with Def Jam’s marketing system and only rebel when she was selling cds. Why? Because you have the upper hand when you are bringing in money for the record company.

  • chrissy

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, I def did remember FeFe but decided to do some more research, i.e. visit a fansite w/ pics and all.OMG…RiRi’s wholeeeeeeeeeeeee style is FEFE!!!!!!!!!!!!! and fefe was doing this ish back in 2002,’03’04. Rihanna even followed her transitions, from the short Bob to the extra short do, Fefe had the same progression, I’m really shocked. Yes artists bite each others style all the time, but damn this is a bit much. Plus she doesnt even mention her when she says who she’s inspired by, when clearly her whole ish is FEFE. yall really need to visit a fansite and check out a fefe gallery, you’d think ur seeing double. That vid doesnt doesnt confirm as much as the pics will. Rihanna’s team was on point when they swagger jacked, cuz clearly its working for her. DAMN

    i def just lost some respect, but not quite a rihanna hater, but damn she’s a biter FORREAL!

    And dammit we’re not talking about justin, bey or whoever else. the blog is about ri and fe, stop tryna throw other ppl under the bus b/c u stans are starting to feel defeated

    And just because eveyone does it DOES NOT make it OK!

    When it comes to talent, BEYONCE and rihanna should NOT even be in the same sentence. POINT. BLANK PERIOD. Now if your talking marketing and getting ur work pushed, etc,. then you can make a comparison, cuz rihanna team works hard to keep her relevant, swagger jacking and all.

    And one more thing b4 i go, if we (blacks) expanded on our generes of music that we listened to, we would kno that this has ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE!

  • Mock Rock Star

    Now that’s what I call a video!!! Rhianna stay “out of the box”

  • Mock Rock Star

    Ok…I’m back. I went and looked up Fe Fe Dobson and I was like…cool a rocker chick, so of course I’m feeling it, then I went to the video for “Don’t Let it Go to Your Head” and I was like “Rhi is that U!!!” :-) It’s like they were like “Ok Fe Fe, this style isn’t really working @ this moment, but people will catch on so I want U to ghost write for a little while…ok.” Then Rhianna comes along and they completely gives her this style with a Nine Inch Nails Mix. They must have figured, “These Fe Fe videos will never see the light of day LOL!!!” I’ve been bamboozled, but I still like the Rhianna video…so what’s going with Fe Fe’s career???

  • Reason

    I like it, i like it a lot.

  • http://vipcornertable.blogspot.com/ caramel_mimi

    This Vid S.U.C.K.S!!!! Who the fudge is FeFe Dobson?

  • w.w.

    fefee dobson looked too black in the face, so rhi rhi took her place.

  • Sydney

    Man… Rihanna is the ish. So she likes the way Fefe does her thing and she may be emulating her….so what? How many artists that YOU like emulate Michael Jackson? Numerous. How many people still love Beyonce even after she “stole” Kylie Minogue’s performance for the BET awards last year? That’s what the music industry does. They recycle certain things and put their own new twist on it. So what?

    I LOVE Rih! :0)

  • chrissy

    RHI RHI looks very much black, i dont where you got that from, the only thing “non black” is her eyes, and perhaps her skin color (which makes her more acceptable to the world). like have you seen her nose? lips?..it just all works for her, thats all

  • Nawal

    This is a damn shame! How can we expose Fe Fe, opps I mean Ri Ri for swagger jacking Beyonce, Kelis, and Fe Fe?

  • lo

    I swear a whole lot of you are a bunch of idiots! just because she’s rocking this new look doesn’t mean she’s fake. its called growth, and reinvention. History has proven that vocal talent isn’t everything i.e Madonna, Britney. Stop hating on Rihanna for rising at the top of her game.

    if any swagger jackin is going on it wasn’t with Fefe Dobson more Victoria Beckham. Fefe was PUNKY/SLIGHLY GOTH but was NOT FASHION.

    Rihanna style is closer to A FEW of POSH’S look.

    -hair

    -outfits

    -persona

    -style

  • Zina {The original princess}

    Say it ain’t so Ri Ri, say it ain’t so!

  • ursee1

    @ IO ANYONE WHO WOULD EVEN MENTION MADONNA OR BRITNEY IN CONJUNCTION TO MUSIC IS OBVIOUS WITHOUT A BIT OF TASTE. MARKETING IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM TALENT.HOW OLD ARE YOU, 16?

  • ursee1

    OKAY I LISTENED TO A FEW FE FE SONGS. NO FLAVA AT ALL, SORRY. I LIKE ROCK , AND I GUESS SHE WROTE HER OWN SONGS,BUT SHE SOUNDS LIKE THE AVERAGE WHITE CHICK AND TRUTHFULLY ALANIS MORRISETTE AND AVRIL LAVIGNE DO IT BETTER. SHE STILL SINGS BETTER AND IMHO IS PRETTIER THAN RHIANNA.

  • KRocs

    KUDOS Of the art of video makin’…The music video director David laChapelle took it to another level. Rih rih makeup and clothing is on point…but i kinda expected a song like this from her..nothing special. I wish she had some better vocals but the music industry isn’t big on that now.

    I would compare rih rih to beyonce. Both have to different goals, genre, and image.

    I must say Rih rih’s looks like she is always tryin to prove herself.

    Rih rih cant be a madonna. It seems she doesnt have the guts to pull off some of the controversy like madonna did.

  • jW

    not saying that she wont EVER be, but no rihanna is not better than beyonce. but im feelin rihanna as an artist. im feelin the song too, but this video im not. its just to creepy. i know its a good thing artist try to venture out and try new things but this… i just dont know about this. its a bit TOO scary for me.

  • toonmili

    You guy who are saying Rihanna is cuter are stupid… don’t you get it. It shouldn’t be about Looks. Fefe writes her own music and way passionate about everything she does. She is an amazing artist. I got her album that was never released and it is one of my favs of all time. I don’t mind Rihanna copying her… but for us Fefe fans it’s really hard to see someone jacking your fav artist style and at the same time not giving her the credit. Fefe has been working… she writes… she wrote a song Miley Cyrus so… she could be a song writer too. But have you guys seen her perform live… look for a vedio called Get Off Of My Back Live and you will see what I’m taking about… She is so talented.

    I like Rihanna too but she needs to stop being shady and admit that she’s inspireed by Fefe and stop talking credit.

    And yeah Fefe is inspired by Joan Jett but she says so all the time and actually worked with her on tracks for Sunday Love (the album Def Jam didn’t like). Def Jam thought it was too rocky and wanted her to stick to her pop/rock formula and told her to rerecord the songs… she refused and was dropped. It was a creative sacrifice for her. Us Fefe fans share it around because Def Jam didn’t give her the writes to album, they’re still holding it hostage… that’s why it wasn’t picked up… and that’s why she didn’t get signed because she had no work to shop around and had to start from scratch. But she has new songs now and has a deal Universal Canada… please support her when she comes out with her new music. You might have already heard some… they use her song Watch Me Move to advertise Lipstick Jungle and Dancing with the Stars.. so she’s out there… please help promote her.
