Rihanna pulls out of X Factor

[Kardan]

Rex Features
Rihanna has reportedly cancelled her plans to appear on this Saturday's X Factor final.

The singer was rumoured to be performing on the show alongside finalists JLS, but is said to have decided to pull out.

JLS will instead be performing with Westlife, who were originally scheduled to sing with Alexandra Burke, according to Heat.

Burke, the bookmakers' favourite to win the competition, will now take to the stage with Beyoncé, while Eoghan Quigg will team up with Boyzone.


Ooer, that's great news :D Means the Beyonce/Alex performance will be best; not JLS/Rihanna :)

Gutted, i wanted rihanna.

[dirrty]

yayy beyonce is better than big fore headed rihanna.

[kk.]

that really is good news. I hate JLS, their lead cannot sing well and they are out of sync most of the time. Alex had better win tomorrow because i will want her to have an album out by this time next year

[Captain]

yayy beyonce is better than big fore headed rihanna.


turn off your computer

[kk.]

turn off your computer

you are joking. She is by a mile and its better that alex now has a better chance because she is the only one that will be good outside of the x factor (out of the people in the final)

[dirrty]

turn off your computer
im on ma laptop :8
i like rihannas songs, but beyonce is more suited to perform with alexandra than rihanna

[CJW93]

I wanted to see Rihanna with Jls :(

[Captain]

im on ma laptop :8

SHH :P

id rather have rihanna than beyonce, then again if beyonce offered me some.. i wouldnt turn her down :P

[dirrty]

oh i think i got alexandra & jls mixed up in relation to who was performing with rihanna lol. still prefer beyonce with em anyway, even though she'll attempt to outperform everyone lol.

[Virgin Mary]

rihanna can't sing well live anyway

[luce]

Yaay she would have helped JLS :D

I want Eoghan to win :D

[stickwitu]

Rihanna can't dance, sing or put on a good show but if she did bring her useless ass here JLS would probably win.

Bring on B & Alex!

[Mitch4?]

Rihanna can actually put on a heck of a show actually,
and yeah whilst she's not the best singer, in studio she's not going to be the best in a preformance. But i think she does a damn good job, and i like the tone of her voice both in studio and live, so shes well good still.

copy cattttttttttt

[Hazza]

Anyone want who wants Eoghan to win, obviously don't know what singing is because he is crap.

I'm kinda glad Rihanna pulled out, cos it means its JLS with Westlife, LOL. Two boy bands who will most probably be rivals next year, 8 singers... thats going to be hard to do aswell.

Alex and Beyonce, well its going to be the show stopper.

Alex to win, I wouldn't mind JLS but not too keen, Eoghan is **** (Laura should still be here :))

Yes Beyonce is a copy cat.

[FlyingJesus]

Yeah because Beyonce never did anything original of course...

Recently;

If I Were a Boy was origionally written and sang by BC Jean - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EdjtO4iKU-A

The Single Ladies video choreography is basically a copy of Gwen Verdons performance in 1969.

It's called having a stylist so don't get up on Beyonce's back when she's a much more talented artist than Rihanna ever will be. If I Were A Boy was written by BC Jean and produced by Tony Gad on the basis that it would go towards B's new album. It's not an uncommon process at all, Rihanna doesn't have a single writing credit on GGGB so don't try pulling that card.

You can make up for lack of vocal talent by performing well (eg. Britney, Janet) - she doesn't dance, and she lacks charisma. I haven't seen a single performance by her which makes me go "wow, she really is talented" when there are a lot better artists who get ignored for her.

[dirrty]

this thread aint about beyonce copying whoever, so who gives a flying ****.

i just hope beyonce don't try to outshine anyone lol

-Beyonce also doesn't have a single writing credit on her album
-Your digging Rihannas performances even though Beyonce has been doing the same tired routine for single ladies everywhere, none of them are any different, all just the same moves.

Edit: Yeah this has gone a bit off-topic. I also hope that Beyonce doesn't take the focus off Alex but I think it will happen.

Rihanna is way more successful than Beyonce :/ Who's had more hits as a solo artist? Rihanna.

[FlyingJesus]

Who's married to the richest man in hip hop?
Who's more respected as an artist and a market enterprise?
Who has more money?
Who is more of a household name?

Then tell me which is more successful lol.

Being married to the richest person in hip hop doesn't make you successful. Thats like calling Danielle Lloyd a success because she's dating a rich footballer.

Id say Rihanna is more respected as an artist and is more marketable.

Of course Beyonce has more money, she's been around alot longer than Rihanna. Amy Winehouse has alot of money (£20M+) that doesn't mean shes a success?

Rihanna is more popular than Beyonce.

omg LOL u cant b serious
beyonce has sold more than rihanna (and with destinys childs sales, beyonce will always outsell rihanna). even though its not all about sales, beyonce has marketed herself much better than rihanna and has a better voice than her, which is extremly obvious.

soz yh, but beyonce is out of rihannas big foreheaded league.

beyonce is more respected as an artist as she actually writes a decent amount of her songs, unlike rihanna.

edit; beyonce was the second highest paid musician between June 2007 and June 2008, with earnings of $80 million (£53 million). rihanna deffo wouldn't earn that much.

Being able to get whatever you want isn't being successful?

Your opinion may be that you prefer Rihanna's music over Beyonce but you cannot seriously say that she is more respected or marketable than a superdiva lol


Rihanna is more popular than Beyonce.

No she's just done more recently

[Captain]

Thats why I said, as a solo artist.

[dirrty]

Thats why I said, as a solo artist.
nevertheless, beyonce is still and will always be more successful than rihanna. beyonce can be more versatile with her voice and overall appearance, whereas rihanna has to stick to a certain look and cant do much else than she already is doing currently.

overall, beyonce has branched herself in all areas (clothing, acting, singing etc.) and in all of those areas, have been successful. rihanna wouldnt be able to do that imo, and if she did, not as good as beyonce.

[Captain]

Rihanna has so many different looks its ridiculous. How can you possibly say she had to stick to one look?

Beyonces career is maybe triple the length of Rihannas therefore she is obviously going to venture other different markets such as clothing and acting. Oh and incase you didn't know, Rihanna has her own range of umbrellas,handbags and is the face of some perfume.

[dirrty]

so how does your original argument stand, when its blatantly obvious that beyonce has a more successful career than rihanna :S

anyway, im glad beyonce took rihannas place. beyonces performance was amazing with alexandra.

Just because Beyonce has ventured into different things like acting and that doesn't make her any more successful..

Beyonce did a really good duet with Alexandra though and I think if Rihanna was on the show, she'd be more suited to JLS than Alexandra.

[kk.]

rihanna was gonna be with JLS. I thought that was cleared up?

[dirrty]

yes it does lol. beyonce has proven herself to be successful within the music industry for the past 18 years, so has expanded her career into other areas. that is what you call success. there's no doubt that rihanna has also been sucessful, but beyonce is more. theres no doubt about it really as its true fact.

yeah rihanna would be more suited with jls, but beyonces performance with alexandra would outshone it without a doubt.

[Captain]

Well if Rihannas career spans upto 18 years then we can compare the success. :)

Was she? That would of been a good choice. Arent Rihanna and Beyonce at war with each other anyway? :S

[dirrty]

i doubt they're at war with each other. it was the same a few years ago with britney and christina. its just the media imo.

[stickwitu]

Rihanna and Beyonce don't hate eachother.
Their fans do, and that's all because Rihanna had a sticker on her album saying "move over Beyonce" or whatever from a review.

The fact you try argue that Rihanna is more talented than Beyonce is pathetic because anyone with ears can tell you Rihanna fails in comparison. Beyonce is THE star. Singer, dancer, performer. So sorry to burst your bubble. You can prefer Rihanna as an artist, but you can't state Rihanna is more talented because she isn't.

[Captain]

Ah, Im pathetic because I have an opinion. Sorry about that, I'll try to keep my free speech to myself next time.

Quote from KK. "that really is good news. I hate JLS, their lead cannot sing well and they are out of sync most of the time. Alex had better win tomorrow because i will want her to have an album out by this time next year"

i think you may be tone death as i havnt heard them sing out of time

mabey its time to get those ears checked :D

[stickwitu]

Ah, Im pathetic because I have an opinion. Sorry about that, I'll try to keep my free speech to myself next time.

Yes. Please do. XOXO

[Captain]

Obviously you haven't discovered sarcasm aswell as fire.

[Lost_Addict]

not to anger anyone but i hate rianna or whatever her name

all she sings are the same words over and over

umberella, ella, ella
shut up and drive, drive, drive

sounds like shes singing for the partiolly death -.- lol

[FlyingJesus]

Ah, Im pathetic because I have an opinion. Sorry about that, I'll try to keep my free speech to myself next time.

It's not about opinion - opinion is you preferring Rihanna over Beyonce (which I assume you do). Opinion is NOT something that can't really be debated, ie: Beyonce being the more successful
