Rihanna Fans Slam Star For ‘High’ & Lip Synced Performance: ‘I’m Pretty Sure She Didn’t Sing’
She’s the hit maker with more hits to her name than most of her contemporaries have combined.
However, all the #1s in the world couldn’t have saved Rihanna from the scathing remarks she finds herself on the receiving end today, accused of performing while ‘high’ and lip syncing during the Singapore showing of her ‘Diamonds World Tour‘.
Full story below…
Upon ending her set at Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix, the ‘Pour It Up’ found herself trashed by her very own fans when they took to Twitter to critique her set.
The Daily Mail explains:
“Twitter comments from concert goers ranged from: ‘Pretty sure #Rihanna didn’t sing the last two songs at all’ and ‘So disappointing Rihanna’ to ‘I think Rihanna is high on something. Alcohol, maybe drugs’ and ‘Quite, quite underwhelmed by #Rihanna at the Padang. It’s not the first time she has been accused of lip-synching.
Organizers of Scotland’s Tea in the Park Festival last July were forced to defend her after it emerged she relied on a backing track.”
Ouch.

‘Caught In The Rapture’: Teyana Taylor Takes Aim At Rihanna
‘Google Me’ maestra Teyana Taylor may be renown for her unique sense of style, but today will no doubt see her name dominate many a headline by way of comments she’s made about the fashion of Rihanna‘s personality…warning the ‘Man Down‘ singer against ‘playing with her’.
What went down?
Details below…
According to Ms. Taylor, Rihanna threw what she’s billing ‘petty shade’ at her when she posted the video below to her personal Instagram page.
http://instagram.com/p/epCHGHhM75
A problem, because this video came no more than a few hours after Teyana shared an Instagram video of herself, performing the very same song - ‘Caught in the Rapture’ with her fans.
Accused of mocking Taylor’s signature style by having a male friend impersonate her, Rihanna is yet to respond to the choreographer’s response, opting to ignore her remarks…for now.
This wouldn’t be the first time the ‘Fading’ star used the photo sharing platform to mock or belittle a contemporary.
For, March of this year saw Rihanna upload this snap of she and gal pal Melissa Forde laughing at R&B singer Ciara‘s first rendition of her Top 40 smash ‘Body Party‘, to which the Grammy winner responded:

Rihanna Responds To Teyana Taylor: ‘I Refuse To Help Your Career’
Earlier today, fans of ‘What Now’ megastar Rihanna launched a scathing ‘social media attack’ on dancer Teyana Taylor, when the ‘Google Me’ gem launched this message on her official Twitter feed.
Now, literally a matter of minutes ago, Rihanna did a little responding of her own- mocking the starlet’s supposedly stalling career.

Teyana Taylor Teases Rihanna’s ‘Body Count’ As Twitter War Continues
…and it continues.
Hours after kicking off, the feud between Teyana Taylor and ROC star Rihanna took a cruel turn for the worst minutes ago, when Taylor responded to a move pulled by new found foe.
What happened, you ask?
Meet us below…
One hour ago, the ‘Take A Bow‘ entertainer altered her Twitter ‘header’, replacing the old image with a fresh one. An image, which placed the net worths of both she and Taylor side by side, as to hint at the dancer’s supposed irrelevancy.
In response, Teyana altered her header…
…and then went on to tease Rihanna’s alleged ‘body count’. Put simply, the number of men the entertainer has allegedly been involved with since her 2005 in debut.
It’s pretty unfortunate that their spat has to come this, considering both ladies have so much going on for them in their respective careers.
In saying that, there’s no doubt Taylor’s decision to address Rihanna’s ‘industry kitten‘ will deal the star a heavy blow, considering this wouldn’t be the first time such a claim has been made.

Watch: Rihanna Struggles With ‘Rude Boy’ Live In Singapore
If the last week has taught us anything, it’s that Rihanna spends too much time on Instagram and too little time working on that voice.
Unfortunately, the good people of Singapore learned that the hard way when the star arrived in Padang to greet fans with her ‘Diamonds World Tour’, armed with vocals the likes of Paula Deen no doubt would have taken a liking to.
Deep fried.
Watch, as she bleats, grinds and drinks her way through 2009′s ‘Rude Boy’ after the jump….
While it can be endearing at times, Rihanna‘s lax approach to her craft is no doubt taking its toll on her on stage delivery.
Sure, while it wasn’t completely horrible, one does why- eight years into her run- she is still unable to serve an entirely faultless vocal performance, giving us no choice but to say a silent prayer for any who’ve been forced to endure that voice without the studio wizardry it’s always relied on.
Perhaps, with Beyoncé returning in a few months and Miley Cyrus on course to swiping her once trademark ‘good to be bad’ persona, Riri will be forced to up her game as to avoid any more reviews like the one penned Australia‘s ‘The Age‘, here.

Pressure For Adidas To Drop Teyana Taylor Intensifies As Rihanna Petition Gathers Fresh Steam
Though it’s done little to tarnish her public persona in the eyes of the general public, Pop belle Rihanna has made quite the habit of using social media to mock- and in some cases bully- many a public figure.
One of these, being ‘Overdose’ sensation Ciara, whom she launched a lengthy ‘Instagram assault‘ on upon the release of her #1 single ‘Body Party’ earlier this year.
Now, after taking a seemingly unprovoked aim at Adidas ambassador Teyana Taylor this week, the ‘We Found Love‘ performer has seen thousands of web users from across the globe lend their support to her and victims of domestic violence, after a remark Taylor made pertaining the star’s abusive past.
Support, that now sings to the tune of a petition launched to see Taylor’s contract with Adidas terminated, generating more support with every passing hour.
Full story below…
Upon its launch by a Ms. Jan Brown last night, the petition- launched in response to the above Twitter header posted by Taylor- has now secured over 1,680 signatures, all of whom agree Adidas should terminate its arrangement with the ‘My Super Sweet 16′ star, as to punish her for mocking what many agree is no laughing matter.
Adidas is yet to respond.ThatGrapeJuice

Teyana Taylor Fans Launch Petition To Counter Rihanna / Adidas Termination Attempt
Two can play that game.
The above is undoubtedly the sentiment employed by fans of socialite Teyana Taylor today, launching a petition to counter the plan to have her pulled from Adidas following an image she shared on Twitter, as is explained here.
Full story below…
Created by one Elohor Okpeva in Maryland today, this petition urges Adidas not to sever its ties with the beauty, citing Rihanna‘s long running cyber-bullying’ history as their grounds for their cause.
Currently housing two signatures, this petition is now available to support here, and comes hours after the campaign to have her dropped from the company edged closer to earning 2,000 signatures.
A feat, helped in great part by fans of the ‘No Love Allowed’ songstress, who continue to share its url link amongst each other on numerous social media platforms, and as domestic abuse victims continue to lend their voices to it in support in its comment section.
Support Teyana here.ThatGrapeJuice

Watch: Rihanna Booed In Concert
Australian fans of Pop hit maker Rihanna may be forced to question their support for the star this week, after she arrived later than scheduled at the Adelaide showing of her ‘Diamonds World Tour‘.
So late, that some fans were reportedly left stranded at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre when they left the show, only to find that the public transport they had been depending on to reach home safely had ended for the night.
Their response to Rihanna’s tardiness?
Boos below…
How sad that these fans learned just how seriously Rihanna takes her career….the hard way.
