LOL Yet and still, when you sing ANY Mariah Carey song (Or Whitney), you bets believe you better have a somewhat decent voice to back it up. And Rhi-Rhi doesn't, and that's the problem. Not that she's a bad singer, but that she picked the wrong song. AND THANK GOD SHE WAS COVERING THAT FOREHEAD UP BACK THEN!! lol Right, it wasn’t that long ago! LOL

I think the important thing to remember is that a lot of girls assume that having a good voice means hitting high notes and all that. But i think, if she modified it to fit her range, it would have been better. Otherwise good job she was pretty good for a 15 year old.

While the execution left much to be desired it's not like she has nothing to work with. I think her voice is as good as Beyonce. With continued voice lessons and experience I think she can evolve into a good singer much like Mary J. Blige did and I think Keyshia Cole is well on the way to doing. I expected it to me much worse.

But I have to give credit where credit is due. This performance is definitely not a stellar-grammy-nominated performance; but what high school performance is? Her notes for the most part were on key and for all intensive purposes the girl can sing. So my question for all those who are criticizing her...if you could do better, I'm sure that you would be where she is. But given that most of us aren't, we have to respect her gangsta - whatever that may be... I must concede the fact that I am not the biggest Rihanna fan.

She tried to tackle a song that someone should of told her not to do. However she has stage presence and she wasn't afraid of the audience since she walked toward them. Fast forward.....with a vocal coach and songs in her range she is a superstar. She always had the stage presence, the IT factor, she just needed fine tuning. But it was nothing she needed to be stoned for. The ending was not good but this is called singing songs out of your range. She tried to tackle a song that someone should of told her not to do.

People put too much pressure on these young women. You don't really get into your singing chops until you're about 35. Not to mention she didn't have a live band backing her or a sound engineer like everyone else we admire. So, she's good enough. Well she hasn’t grown into her voice yet anyway.

She was probably only 15 or 16 here.Come on, even some of the best singers have rough performances.She was a child.Her voice has obviously matured since then.Even on this tape you can hear her talent. It wasnt perfect but it was there. I'm sure she has a ton of great performances from when she was younger on tape as well but will they be made available? Probably not.Why? because we seem to like to keep people down in this country, not bring them up. People need to lay off of her.
