    Sing is not only about having the strongest voice or hit all hight notes. Sing is about send emotions n feelings to the listeners, and Rihanna delivers it perfectly

      Idk, i would say 80% - 90% voice and the rest feelings. I listened to this without watching the video and i was about to comment that i felt she wasn't feeling it(in this particular performance). SINGING is mostly about the vocals.

    This song came on in my car while I was driving to the cemetery for my momma's funeral. She was so sick and her body wouldn't work properly anymore. I wanted her to stay on this earth so badly but I knew that I was being selfish. This song, I'll never forget. It hits me right in the heart. My momma died in December 2015 and I wept again watching this performance. It's a haunting memory of wanting someone to stay so badly. I love you and miss you mom. ❤️

      Totally! She brings passion through her music, which is lacking in most music today. I always imagine she brings up old memories of an experience she had and relives it when she sings like this. This isn't the first time she's been this good.

  • @GraeHall

    Damn. I've never before watched a live Rhianna performance, or a live SNL performance. This felt like I was being let in on a private performance. Jesus - this girl knows how to pour out her heart in to that fucking mic, that mic stand, and out of her soul. I honestly didn't know she had this in her - this makes me a fan of hers. This is fucking amazing. If you don't think this is good music? Pick up an instrument, pic up a mic. This sort of artistry deserves to be appreciated and respected. My god - that's talent.

      ***** its either you can sing or you cant.rihanna clearly CAN sing.Just because someone have better vocal ability doesnt change that. Besides vocal ability is only one factor into creating a successful artist.Micheal jackson,maddona,janet jackson are legends and they didn't have phenomenal vocals either.Its so much more than vocal ability

    • @laurenbecauseican
      @laurenbecauseican 10 лет назад +1

      Yeah but that's thing, what makes me see her as a 'superb' singer is the emotion in her voice. Anyone with decent vocals can sing, but she has a way of projecting her feelings in the song so that she is almost telling a story. Some of her songs I'm not even that into, but this is a winner for me. Mainly because when you strip the dancing, loud music, and crazy behaviour, you get the simple beauty of her voice. Low talent my ass, she wouldn't be as sucessful as she is without it. No matter who she contracts with, people wouldn't want to put hard work into someone who is useless.

    As a performer, Rihanna is by far the most passionate, unique and spot on artist I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. I went and saw her live show for Unapologetic in Las Vegas and I honestly don't care what people say about her as a person because her music is so inspirational and at times 'fitting' for those certain moments in life where it just, well fits. You go Riri your navy is behind you and I think I speak for the majority of us when we say thank you, thank you for writing such inspirational music and performances.

      Of that entire mentioned group, Jennifer Hudson is the best singer, imho, which of course doesn't matter, as we all have our own favorites. (It's really not a contest; we can like lots of singers.) Still, if you haven't seen Jennifer Hudson's performance in Dreamgirls, you may not get her yet. She is the whole package, and her acting is incredible.

    People - when someone comments that Rihanna has no talent, don't reply to it. These are idiotic cowards sitting at home saying nasty things behind the safety of their computer screen.
    Contrary to the popular belief on RUclips (LOL) there is more than one way to be a good singer. Range does not equal "good" or "talent". As a singer, your voice is your instrument. You use it however the hell you want to get your music out and connect with your audience. I think Rihanna has a beautiful voice. I love how she uses it and I love how it sounds...and THAT'S what makes her successful, because there are millions of other people like me who will buy the music, the concert tickets, and love to hear her sing. Period.
    Anyone who comes on a video (which, by the way, only ups her views) just to say she's not talented is a sad and unhappy person, who I guarantee cannot stare into their own eyes in a mirror for more than 30 seconds. If you doubt it, try it, you negative nancys :o)
