It's great that she's writing on this album, anything remotely personal will probably be massive.

I love her voice, not because it's technically anything special (it's not), but it's really unique and distinctive, in a good way.

Like I said in another thread, range does not make a good singer. She has a 3.0 octave range with falsetto included, which is decent, but there are plenty of female artists out there with larger ranges. Heck, I have a 4.0 octave range (falsetto included), but that doesn't make me an amazing singer. Her tone is atrocious. She needs to work on her control and staying on pitch. No matter how great of a singer a person may be, it is always best to continue improving, because no one will ever be perfect.

This girl has a gift her voice is her instrument. Its very different and unique. She is extremely talented. Its not always about having a powerful or weak voice its if you can sing and use that voice to make art and music. But everyone has their own opinions she has improved and will keep inproving. So leave the girl alone. and good for you if you have a 4.0 octave woohoo i can fit a sick in my mouth :)

Yes, her voice is unique, and whatnot. IMO, you saying that she is extremely talented is extremely laughable. Yes, she has improved some since she began. My point was that she needs to continue to improve because she still isn't up to par live. It's not even about having a powerful voice or not. It's about staying on pitch, control, tone, range, etc. and the ability to use her voice to the best of her abilities. She doesn't. She needs more training. I'm not saying she isn't a good or decent singer, but she's nowhere near the top 10 or 15 current mainstream female artists vocally. :)

Adding on that
Riri's live perfomance are horrible and instead of going to tat's lesson, how about taking up dancing classes.
If she could dance should be a miles better.

She has improved but no way near the top bunch of live performers. If she didn't have dramatic fashion and effects you would sleep at her concert.

Rihanna and Santigold! that is going to be incredible if they do work together. those voices are perfect for each other and santigold writes the best choruses.

Her voice is fine as it is. She sounds great live (watch her Pepsi Smash concert from January), she has the attitude, spunk, the main thing she needs to work on is maybe making her performances more entertaining.

Sean Garrett is the quiet current forcefully washing out any producer who dares step in the booth without that certified hit maker’s touch. He’s produced Usher’s ‘Yeah,’ along with practically every Beyonce joint you shimmy to in the club. LiveSteez recently caught up with the music maven to see which superstars he’s currently working with.
LiveSteez: The roster of artists that you’ve worked with is insane. You’re working with Rihanna and Usher now, right?
Sean Garrett: Yep, I’m working on Usher’s new album. ‘Monster’ speaks to a lot of things. There’s a lot to that word. Good and bad. I’m really happy to be a part of that album because it’s going to be really great. I’m also working on Rihanna’s new album and I’m doing something really different with that venture.

Voice really doesn't mater anymore, Britney's success pretty much did away with any vocal standards that the industry had left. Vocals aren't the main/biggest reason people like Rihanna anyway.
That said, her voice definetly improved in between her debut album and the GGGB era.
