A double dose of new magazine covers featuring Rihanna on the new Billboard (not the ideal time to follow up that GQ cover though, huh?) and Miguel on FADER. Any thoughts on the covers? 'The World Is Hers'? Myself personally, I'm not vibing with the blurry photo, the photo itself, and the typography across Ri-Ri.
Here's one way to garner some more attention for your upcoming album. Pose on the cover of GQ's Men Of The Year issue wearing only a leather jacket. Thoughts on Rihanna's latest provcative photo?
Rihanna was tonight's musical guest on a new SNL hosted by Anne Hathway. Above and below are her two performances - the first for the current single "Diamonds", and the second, a premiere of a song off the upcoming album, Unapologetic, "Stay".
First, the problems with "Diamonds" begin with the 90s video game style graphics acting as the background, instead of SNL's classy set. I didn't see the connection between those graphics and the song, unless it was to detract from a lack of booming vocals from Ri-Ri. The second performance of "Stay" was better, however, as Rihanna slowed it down to sing over a simple piano melody. Not that I'm expecting huge vocals from her, but it still wasn't there til the very end of this one.
