Let Rihanna do ha things for 2014 like that in 2015 she can focus on music solely expect for that one time she has to appear at some stores to pose with her clothing or her XXX toys and then fly off to her next performance.

WAIT don't come for Mikey's jugular like that

i agree. if rih had katy's GODLIKE team

Honestly Rihanna firing 80% of her team would fix are issues

They could have cut off JayZ for the video. He wasn't that essential (or wanted) for the video


Oh Humanity Stay was snubbed because Youtube censored it the week billboard inserted the streaming rules. If it wasn't for that it would have been #1.

You are not getting my point at all ..She will be 26 and has a LOT of years to make a brand but right now music should be her priority . I want rihanna to be known as a musician and a performer than a brand because tbh Paris hilton is a brand too.

I am not saying I am opposed to the ventures but let them be limited . Ok i can fathom the fact that she did river island but multiple perfumes is just .2 perfumes in 4 years would make her as relevent as 4 in 4 years.

true fir ha team and employee us as I am looking for a internship too

Rih aint firing none of them. They've become fam to her.
- Just like I don't see her ever leaving RocNation

tbh

I agree Bucking but I think Rihanna realized that which is why in 2014 she seems to be focusing on that instead if juggling both.

Also yes there a difference if she does it now or if she does it in 10years. She selling now because of her name and in 10years her name might not sell which is why she wants to do it now to ensure she has an established brand and won't have to be worry about paying Melissa new weave.


Also I don't get why yall acting as if the perfume is what stopping the promotion. Rihanna basically has samples sent to her and she approves, then she gets a picture of the bottle and she approves then sje goes an shoot an ads then she appears at Macy's for 2hours to take pictures.

The 4 perfumes isn't the problem, it's the team not being able to handle Rihanna's ambitions.

The fact that YDO was a single and TTT was not

I hear TTT every single time I get out in club, seriously (and Jump and RMO)
Those three songs are regular songs in clubs here. WFL and WHYB also but not as much

That is silly . I would fire someone's ass if they are unprofessional even if its my own brother and I have done that ..I take no prisoners

Some navy should be Rih's management team... The slayage

I still not understand why they didn't take the Grammy and BRIT to bring out a new single

rih has a secret surprise performance booked on grammys, she will preform diamonds and stay

I wouldn't be surprised


But I was talking bout during TTT era. Like perform WFL? It was dying.

I agree, and perhaps if they don't get it together she will finally realize that.

- But at the same time you have to consider this is Hollywood, a lot of people are shady and just want money out of her. She has obviously built a level of trust with her team so breaking away from them could be really hard.

RIHANNA SONGS THAT COULD'VE SMASHED ON AT LEAST ONE FORMAT:

Loud:

-Skin!!!! I know so many people in the GP that love this song I don't even know how they heard it but whatever. It should've been sent to urban at the very least. But instead they used Raining Men. Hindsight is 20/20 so I'm willing to forgive them on this.

TTT:

-You Da One. Could've smashed but due to poor planning and a horrible video it never got anywhere

- Talk That Talk. The title of the damn album. It was a catchy bop that was family friendly enough for radio. Ruined because a baby was born. MESS.

-Cockiness. This is another song that all the young black people in my life bop to Idk why it was sent to urban so damn late... why would you ignore such an obvious smash. The lyrics were a biT much but they could've found a way around that. The ASAP Rocky remix came way too late. September 2012? Two months before a new album??? You have got to be ******** me.

-Birthday Cake. Putting Maurice on it was brave. TRULY **** Def Jam for not putting the remix on itunes. Why would you pay dust to a controversial bop like that the incompetence is killing me

-Watch N Learn. Perfect for the spring/summer but was paid absolute dust.

-Do Ya Thang. Same as above. They were fresh and different compared to other songs on the radio. Why were they ignored? Why do music teams always ignore the obviously catchy songs????

UA:

-Stay. It should've been ****ing #1.

-Pour It Up. I just cannot with the incompetence another immediate fan favorite. Why did the video take so long? Airplay and sales aligned perfectly but there wasn't a video or promo. It makes no sense

-Lov7 Song. One of the best candidates for urban radio Rih has EVER had. I saw so many girls quoting this damn song. Ignored for no damn reason.

-Jump. I really don't understand how this wasn't a summer single it's so infectious and great **** everything

-What Now. A missed opportunity. Would've been perfect for her ICON award performance.

-Get It Over With. This should've been a buzz single. It would've received decent sales imo.

The fact that Rih has more missed smashes than some people have hit songs I just can't

Maybe navy should lay anchor and do something about Roc Nation

If I was in Rihanna team
I would tell her look you want to release a clothing line, perfumes, XXX toys, coffee book or whatever? You have until November to release it. Then starting January i'ma make you my bitch and you will take your ass across the globe and promote R8. But I will allow you a few days to release your spring collections of whatever.

It's to late to perform What Now at the Grammy's ugh.

Hopefully Rih's remaining dates this year and the Shakira Collab show she's on her way to getting her head all the way back in the game. She needs a team with greater focus like Katy Perry's and she'd be stellar.
