Happy Rihanna Day; Her Grammy Performance
I heard radio station CBC 98.1 FM promoting today as “Rihanna Day”! I thought it was not only a cool idea but appropriate as well as she is flying into Barbados today to attend the special tribute show that is being put on in her honor.
It is note worthy that “Rihanna Day” is also being sponsored by A & B Sounds which is an example of a local entertainment corporate entity coming to the fore in support of a fellow artiste. Way to go Norman Barrow of A & B!
Therefore, in keeping with the spirit of the Rihanna Day, Boyce Voice presents Rihanna’s performance at the 2008 Grammy awards. Here she is performing with “The Time” of the 1984 Prince movie “Purple Rain”.
I like the concept of merging a classic group like “The Time” with a current star like Rihanna, that was an interesting combination, Click and watch it again and watch for when she shouts “Barbados we got one!”

My Fovourite Robyn
Robin please sing a song for me
And perch up high that I might see
Glitz and glamour from your feathered coat
Show me your luster as you sing each note
Take me to places I’ve never been
Over rivers and mountains and the valleys in between
Robin, precious Robyn you’re a special bird
I think you’re the sweetest I’ve ever heard
Cockatiels and mynahs have their own delight
How pale they compare in the silhouette light
Every song you sing makes me feel a special way
Sing, sing for me sweet Robyn and have a Happy Birthday!

20 on the 20th
Twenty on the Twentieth
These 20 lines I write today
Wish Rihanna a Happy 20th Birthday
Enjoyment with her family and friends
No stress today, I hope her cheer never ends
They tell me though that you’re working hard
You haven’t included rest on your card
Once you get started there is no low key
No rest today, but you’ll still turn 20
That means you’ll no longer be a teen
Have no more features on their magazine
Even though you are still young they’ll think you’re old
Teenagers think over 20 is old , I’m told
Whether this happens or comes to be
Everyone still would remember your rise to celebrity
Nothing dismisses the pleasure you brought
The years only magnifies what your stardom taught
I’m proud that you’re Bajan and that you went to Combermere
Every tie brings you closer, in my heart you’re here
Today if I could give you anything, I wish that you
Have a lighter schedule and a Happy 20th Birthday too!
