Comments on: Support Rihanna;You Ungrateful Dogs http://www.boycevoice.com/blog/2008/02/10/support-rihannayou-ungrateful-dogs/ Peter Boyce of MADD Entertainment gives you a comical view of the serious business of entertainment in Barbados and the wider Caribbean. Wed, 19 Nov 2008 19:17:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Allysia http://www.boycevoice.com/blog/2008/02/10/support-rihannayou-ungrateful-dogs/#comment-1932 Allysia Fri, 11 Apr 2008 01:46:51 +0000 http://www.boycevoice.com/blog/2008/02/10/support-rihannayou-ungrateful-dogs/#comment-1932 I actually know alot of Barbadians that support Rihanna. I suppose we are not as vocal as the ones who do not support her! However bad mouthing is unfortunately part of our "culture" and that is how it is. I am sure Rihanna herself engaged in some bad mouthing herself while she was here. I was hurt when she said she was going to stop supporting Barbados because up until that point I was a die hard Rihanna fan, blast the stupid people on the call in radio not the entire island! Lets not forget the others who went before her like the merrymen and krosfyah they too were ambassadors for Barbados! So while we are throwing around the word ungrateful what about on her part? I'm sorry but, What about the free education she received while here! at leats that is how I felt when she said those things to the magazine because it meant she was not supporting me either and it means she is not supporting any of you here who profess to love her so much. However no one can deny her talent and success so I respect her as an artist, not so much as a barbadian I actually know alot of Barbadians that support Rihanna.

Bajans are 'ungrateful dogs'. They only find pleasure in pulling down their own every time; as a matter of fact, if they can't say something bad about you, then they do not say anything. Congrats Peter on your appointment. Is that a position to keep your 'voice' down? I don't think so. This Government recognises people. Regards Only Me! Peter, you are absolutely correct!

I was very pleased to see that she won over some very seasoned entertainers! I agree with the billboard at the airport notion, that has my vote. I do understand the point that Airbourne is making, although I wouldn't say that she's 'stickly voice'. She can dance and she's easy on the eyes too!. She has indeed been positioned for success. While we are so proud of her and rightly so, I PRESUME that Airbourne is comparing her with the yardstick that is used to measure most if not all international artistes. A Bajan performing at the Grammy Awards and copping one to put on the old bookcase!? Abso-bloody-lutely Marvelous!!!!! Well that takes care of the Barbados Passport....now on to my British one Big up my London Crew Massive....Good going Amy!! (Was it just me or did anyone else think she was dancing like she wanted to go to the loo? ..lol.) Sing Like No One is Listening!! Vocal Image Congratulations to Rihanna!

This is one of the most talked about shows in the world and we had a Bajan performing at them. This is a remarkable achievement and worthy of note.

Ungrateful Dogs

Umbrellas should have been rising in the street
National media should have given us a special treat
Girl Gone Wild hitting the world with a fury
Rihanna nominated to get a Grammy
Actually, any of six awards she’s in for a chance
This Bajan Gal got Hip Hop, Rap and one about Dance
Every Bajan, especially media people on radio and TV
For that time should have been promoting our Celebrity
Unfortunately it wasn’t so and this morning on radio
Local broadcaster didn’t even mention her in his intro
Despite her international plugs for Barbados constantly
Our Bajan media still don’t seem to like Rihanna Fenty
Girl, wherever you are, some of us are proud of you
So kudos and lots of love, be GOoD whatever you do!
Also Congratulations Rihanna

Since you are such an "EXPERT"??? on Rihanna, show us what you have done with your life so far, just go back to your sorry little blog and bitch over there because that is all you do to anyone who achieves anything in life. Never let anyone's achievements be your downfall. This Young lady is star, it does not matter if she got one Grammy out of six, the point is she has a Grammy and no one can take away from her. I'm happy for Amy winehouse, i'm sure England is celebrating. What are we doing for Rihanna? Airborne you need to stop putting down our local talent, If you have nothing good to say shut to hell up. There is a difference between constructive criticism and jealousy. Unity is strength Airborne, you need to go sit somewhere.

We all are glad for her but look at Amy Winehouse who got five - she not only sings, she composes and can play piano. Rihanna is strictly voice! Has anyone ever heard when Rihanna wrote a song? Ne-yo, who she has sung with, writes and plays instruments also! This indicates a greater degree of talent. I am fully aware that this will draw a backlash but if Rihanna belches and lets go a drop of bile, does not automatically make it a pearl of wisdom as she is a Bajan overseas doing well, so don't get your knickers in a knot, skyyblue!
