OlderRihanna & Chris Brown Have Essence
Reigning R&B prince Chris Brown and R&B princess Rihanna perform at the Louisiana Superdome during the 2008 Essence Music Festival on Friday, the Fourth of July, in New Orleans.
Here’s Billboard’s review of dear RiRi’s latest “Disturbia” single: “Rihanna has scored 10 top 40 hits since her career launched in 2005. More staggering, the 20-year-old has four songs riding the Pop 100: top two ‘Take a Bow,’ Maroon 5 duet ‘If I Never See Your Face Again’ just entering the top 40, ‘Don’t Stop the Music’ inside the top 40 after 30 weeks—and now ‘Disturbia.’ It’s safe to say that Rihanna is the premier artist of the second half of the decade, with no signs of wear and tear. This latest is a sort of ‘Thriller’ for partygoers, with multilayered vocals cascading across Ri’s lower register, alongside fun scatting, a la ‘bum bum bi dum bum’ with co-writing (and background vocals) from the irrepressible Chris Brown. Rereleased albums with added cuts have become a tedious trend, but ‘Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded’ is actually worth its weight in platinum. In short order, Rihanna has become the trustworthy ‘it’ girl of our time.’

FIRST! chris brown is awesome.
hmm
i loveee them!!
a perfect couple (:
<3
OMG CHRIS SHAVE OFF THE SKUNK HAWK HAIR THINGIEE!!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!! and that third to last pic is totally the business :3 and rihanna……….
she look a little bit like a man! this hair cut is nice but i hope that Riri returns to her 2006 hair.
Cute but maybe not her best look
i meant shaved**
Rihanna’s hair looks like a hat! I think her darker hair is still under it.
She’s pretty but she kinda looks like a tranny.
She looks like a 2 dollar hooker.
{{{{{{{ Chris Brown }}}}}}}}}
Gross. All the accessories on the planet can’t give this ***** class!
THEY SURE ARE HANDSOME!
Billboard would give my dog a good review. The dress is not bad but I wish this girl had more talent to back up her looks.
I love the dress. Everything else is EEWWW. HHAAAATTEE IITTTT!!!
i like rihanna but her style is so 80s. she needs to stop copying madonna!
Why the hell is she dressed like an 80’s hooker?
I love short hair but I prefer Rihanna with a slightly longer style. The hair on the sides of her head do not match the top (is that a weave?) plus the style emphasizes her thick neck. Chin length would be a good look for her.
CHRIS IS HOT!!!!!!!
What happened to Rihanna? She used to be unique and now she’s all ******* tranny-ed up.
GROSS. She looks like Fantasia Barrino…
Rihanna looks cute as long as she covers up her huge forehead. She has pretty eyes.
RIHANNA’S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A BOY.
Both are fierce!!!!!!!!!
Hell to the no@RhiRhi! This is more of a miss than a hit.
like the hair, but lose the outfit
i like her

Need to fired HER STYLIST,URSULA.
ASAP>
IS your Stylist only wanna look herself more beautiful & yourself
being UGLY?
HATE IT. Miss her HAIR in the middle of July 2007.
SUITS HER UP.
Sorry but I have never found Rihanna to be attractive even with the long hair. I wish that she would just go away and make way for some real talent.
RIHANNA = TOTAL TRANNY IN PIC# 5 & 11
Hate it. She could be so cute!
She is trying to be Madonna in the LIke a Virgin video. Uhh, Madonna never looked this butch until she got older. I do not see where this look is going.
I like Rihanna but now she’s taken this makeover too far.
I think Rihanna always has too much on.
Chris looks good!
They are only performing for one day, right?
Chris seriously needs to start pulling his pants up….NOT a good luck
Chris is very talented and not to mention hansome! He is the NEXT big thing….just wait everyone will see.
lol ¬¬’
aff _l_
isn’t that lovely. jared gave the crackers some black people to hit on first thing in the morning.
hate*
blah.
I like Rihanna and this look of hers. It’s obviously something that she is identifying with now. Let her be. She is a great entertainer and very successful, considering she has just turned 20 years. Quite incredible really, what she has achieved in just a couple of years.
rihanna is soooo cute!!!!!!!
THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ‘BOUT RIHANNA STYLE/HAIR PROVE THAT BLACKS AND WHITES WILL FOREVER BE MILES APART IN THEIR CULTURE. RIHANNA’S HAIR STYLE IS THE BOMB. SINCE MOST BLACK WOMEN DON’T HAVE LONG STRAIGHT, STYLELESS HAIR LIKE WHITE ONES, WE’VE COME UP WITH EXTREMELY STYLISH SHORT HAIR CUTS AND WE LOVE THEM. MADONNA COULD NEVER PULL OFF A SHORT HAIR CUT LIKE THIS,NOR COULD HER THIN BLOND HAIR BE STYLED LIKE THIS.. AND WHILE I AM NOT A RIHANNA FAN, BECAUSE I LOVE TRUE RnB, NOT POP, I DO KNOW THE GIRL IS SIMPLY GORGEOUS!!!
AND NOT EVEN MADONNA HAD 10 TOP TEN HITS IN 3 SHORT YEARS LIKE RIHANNA HAS. YA’LL MADE HER THE REIGNING ‘POP’ PRINCESS - THERE’S NOTHING RnB ABOUT HER. AND EVEN MAJORITY AMERICA KNOWS CHRIS BROWN IS THE SWEETEST, MOST CHARISMATIC AND ENTERTAINING PERFORMER TO COME ALONG IN YEARS.
honestly i love her much but … maybe i just need to see some other pictures of it cause so far cause she looks simply awful.
i hate her new style. she is copying Madonna’s old look and starting to look as trashy as no class Beyonce.
she used to be more original than this.
Amazing. I just did this cut about two weeks ago and here she shows up with the shaved sides. If I didn’t know that it defies all logic and probability, I’d think she has a spy-glass all the way to the East Coast.
FWIW - the GREAT 80’s are back in fashion. Agyness Deyn is the figurehead. New Romanticism and Victorian styles are the sartorial looks of the day - get over it, tweenies.
DEAR ANONYMOUS: I’m a white chick. This fact proves you wrong.
I really don’t get the hype with Rihanna. The dress is alright but most of the time she wears the most hideous clothes. I do like her short hair but it looks like she singed off the sides.
Ne-yo practically confirmed that they’re dating :P. In a Q&A with fans, a guy asked who does he think is hotter, Beyonce or Rihanna. He said, ” This dude’s trying to get me in trouble here! Jay Z’s girl or Chris Brown’s girl.” lol :]
some of you seriously need some glasses because rihanna is beautiful. most of you hate b/c you can’t stand that she is slowly rising to the top along with her man Chris.
Rihanna is only 1 year older than Chris? She looks much older. Maybe it is the makeup or maybe Chris just looks young for his age.
I love Chris, but this is not a very good look for him. And Rihanna….stop cutting your frickin hair, damn!!
i looooooooooooove them they are both so talented i want more pics of them together

^Rihanna is a bit of a she-male but they’re still cute…though…

This is what Rihanna say to the Jealous peoples:
I see them staring at me
Oh I’m a trendsetter
Yes this is true ’cause what I do, no one can do it better!!
You can talk about me
‘Cause I’m a hot topic
I see you watching me, watching me, and I know you wish you was me!!!
How more you hate Rihanna, how more Famous she would be!!!
I just can’t sorry! Rihanna you’re not madonna! Damn!
And she got nothing special except hot legs and well lovely face.
i love both of them to def!!!
They look nice together, but don’t really like Rihanna.
if you don’t like her stop ******* talking about her.And shr doesn’t look like a hooker.
she
You all who says bad things about Rihanna are just haters. She is a very beautiful woman why did Cover Girl chose her for their ads. You do not win Grammys for beind not talented. She is always on the cover of many magazines also.Big up to all the haters out there.
does she really use a stylist? if so , she needs a new one!
i get the feeling she styles herself and just hasn’t quite found a style that works for her.
DAT THANG LOOK LYKE A RAT
