Intro

Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Since 2005, Rihanna has regularly recorded chart toppers. The popular singer has also been followed by scandal. Of course, the biggest story from her personal life, the time that Chris Brown was arrested for beating her, wasn’t her fault.

Now she is back together with Chris Brown. Can they put the drama behind them?

I’m not interested in personal life any celebrity.


Actually..I don’t know Rihhana so well to speak about her but She has really big voice. I like a lot of her songs but the latest is “Diamonds” and “Stay”.


I have to admit that I didn’t like her before and I don’t even why.


Her voice is unforeseeable and that’s why I value her :)

I am not interested in anyone especially celebrities personal life. Even though she is a dynamic person who got some Grammys and her songs went platinum several times like “Umbrella” which was a chart topper,  her dramatic life and scandals decreases her reputation among people in different parts of the world. Worse than all of that, hanging out with Bieber and returning to Brown again are  unacceptable with many of her fans.

I became to know Rihanna when the first time she sang Umbrella, she has very unique voice. We should admit that there is no reason for anyone not to like such a beautiful voice… Am I right? I like her but not huge fan or her, about her personal life I don’t really care much. It’s hers… and it’s not important for us, just normal life you know no matter whoever she is, but she also human being and always have to face what it calls LIFe. Ok….no big deal about it…. But I still hope everything is always fine with her :D :D :D

If I had any interest to follow the personal life of a celebrity, I would follow the life of Andy Partridge (XTC). I wonder, why he hasn’t gone on stage anymore since he had a break down before a concert.


XTC have a nice song called “1000 umbrellas” :)


Listen to the CD “Skylarking” Tell me, what you think about it.

personally I’m not interested in following celebrities. I just like beautiful songs with great lyrics no matter what characteristic the singer has, the personal life of them is not important 4 me at all.

I follow my own life. Unfortunately, some celebrity doesn’t show a traceable life. I don’t like her songs but some rock/metal band made good Rihanna covers: “Umbrella” by Vanilla Sky and “Only girl” by Leander Rising (note: these songs have sick videos).

Rihanna is not an  exemption  concerning  singers  with an extrordinary talent, beauty and hug  fans turned up at their concerts , and on the other side of the scale leaving a personal life  full of misery, alcohol and drugs. Is this the  prize they have to pay to be famous and rich  or is it their past issues with life  that  are hard to deal with  without  alcohol and the likes?

It’s so bad thing for Rihanna to be such a talented singer and her personal life news are so much bigger than her musical career news.

Doing some grammar exercises, I remembered a phrase, ” Abused children commonly exhibit one or more of the following symptoms: rebelliousness, withdrawal, restlessness, and depression”.
