Comparing Tyla to Rihanna is cute until you realize she doesn’t have a single VOCAL performance to show for. It’s always waist this and whine that, but where are her VOCAL performances? Is she a belly dancer or a singer? All she does is drop a cute airy vocal... in between her underwhelming performances and then goes back to twerking. She’s 24 still making that bubble gum pop it girl music Rihanna stopped making at age 19. At 24, Rihanna was singing strong ANTHEMS that Tyla would choke attempting to belt, She’s didn’t need her waist to entertain a crowd🩷show more

And that’s on RAW live vocals and not those overly pitched ones.

i love how you didn’t use the MTV VMAs one… and yes i still think tyla could perform circles around rihanna

She’s a dancer, not a performer. The day y’all realize the difference is the day you’ll stop setting her up. The crowd is bored until she’s dancing, let that sink in🫶🏻

Like I said, she’s a dancer. Tate is just a classically trained dancer. You thinking Rihanna only has 1 good performance in her 20 year career is why y’all need to stop comparing Tyla to her now. You don’t know shit about Rihanna back then, cause she has MULTIPLE great performances, if you saw any of them you’d stop setting that girl up 🫶🏻

@Ntlakaniph74179 @magssips Rihanna is not a performer sweetie so please sit down. She isn’t even a good vocalist

@rihsadvocate @Ntlakaniph74179 @magssips baby Rihanna sits tyla vocally

@rihsadvocate @Ntlakaniph74179 @magssips Dream on, yall are so delusional

@kambriasjoint @Ntlakaniph74179 @magssips You are delusional, imagine speaking with no performances to show for.

Tyla is really giving you sleepless nights 😂😂😂😂

Yes, I can’t sleep because she doesn’t have any vocal performances.

Are we really putting Rihanna and vocals in the same category 😂 I love the girl but vocally she’s not a stronghold

Objectively you are wrong. So where do we go from here?

You think Tyla can't do this?? Let's be fr. Haven't you seen Tyla's video singing only girl in the world? But amazing live performance though. Her voice is beautiful.

I saw the video. Even there she’s not vocally as strong as Rihanna’s. Tyla belted it from her mixed voice, Rihanna was belting strongly from her CHEST voice. Tylas was cute but it didn’t do the song justice.

@African43v3r People forget , Rih is unique when it comes to her vocals, no similarities with other artist Tyla, any regular person can imitate her, nothing special. That’s what sets Rih apart from other artists a unique voice that can’t be imitated

@rihsadvocate I agree but we really need to stop using the word vocals on Rihanna. Rihanna doesn't belt; her voice itself is the powerhouse. Her tone is so unique and immediately recognizable. It's rich like deep raspy alto. Let's leave the word "vocals" for Bey, Ari, Mariah & Celine.

@Peace_Joseph_ I well no, because the technique she used was belting, that’s why I said belting. But do agree her voice is powerful, but those are powerful vocals!

At the end of the day, both fandoms should go out and touch grass because what? 😭 Everyone's comparisons are so inaccurate. Idk, maybe get a job?

I like how my little post post bothered you but not the one slandering Rihanna, go put this useless comment under that ho shit, this isn’t a comparison, this is to show that there isn’t one, thank you.

im not bothered, im concerned about you. You're acting like Rihanna pays your rent lol. I don't need to defend Rihanna, she's not even a musician anymore (she's an entrepreneur). But coming for Tyla is unnecessary, you should really ask yourself why you're so intimidated by her

Maybe you’re slow, but this post was clearly a response disrespecting Rihanna’s legacy in regards of Tyla, idc if Rihanna was absent for 30 years, you idiots won’t get away with slandering her name. Also, if you’re fake concerned about me then go be fake concerned about the tweet I’m responding to also🫶🏻

Are the vocals in the room with us??

“South Africa” checks out ✅

Nywe nywe “Africa” Nywe

Tyla hasn't even done a ballad perfomance with a stand mic. . How did u know tyla doesn't have strong vocals? The stoopidity.😭 Hoes just be saying shit I swear🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hasn’t because she can’t. She’s 24. Rihanna been doing it since she was 15, bye.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Rihanna did what from 15? And Rihanna had Jay Z at 17 Tyla came from nowhere and still managed to be a global star so wait a bit she will give you that ballad vocals perfomance soon ok? 🤣 She just got here 🤣🤣🤣🤣 She ju

Jay z didn’t give this voice to Rihanna, she was born with it.

Slow AF😭🤣

Is what you are, literally.

Arghh u still crying? 🤣

Tyla has no vocals? You are insane for sure 😂

If you can read, I said she has no strong vocal performances. And she doesn’t. Just cute vocal moments and that won’t hold up in a conversation about vocals.

Love rihanna but tyla is out-singing her anyway of the week.

And yet not a single performance or song of hers is proving that, put it to rest.

Is it love is an amazing example. You guys can never be the judge of a vocalist because your fave can never be one. You just think singing is hooting and hollering. Tyla's is it love live clears this by far.

Is it love is the example? Honey vocally that performance doesn’t even clear THIS one, and it’s all pitched up with auto tune, get real. Never said Rihanna is a vocalist, but tyla damn sure ain’t one either. She needs to make a crowd cheer after giving a flawless vocal performance through a raw mix first.

The autotune was an artistic piece, rihanna would choke attempting tylas smooth and airy runs not only in the is I love performance but in all her songs, rihanna can't sing to save her life. Tyla can actually sing her ass off, she's just not a powerful better like beyonce.

Would choke? Rihanna has done that already and has done more😂😭😭 Tyla cannot sing her ass off that airy ass agility got ya head wrapped up cause if she attempted sledgehammer or even the d5 distorted belt in diamonds, she’d choke 🤣🤣

Rihanna cannot do smooth buttery runs😭😭😭 her voice is course and rough from excessive drinking. Everyone of Rihanna's performances either has her voice cracking or she's trying to do some vocal gymnastics but keeps failing lmao. Tyla's breathy voice is heavenly.

She can and has, her voice isn’t course or rough that’s called vocal distortion and Tyla would choke attempting to replicate the distortion Rihanna uses. Those performances you speak of are 100% raw and live unlike Tyla who won’t step on stage unless her mic is pitched up, the comparison is cute and so are the “buttery runs” but please stop setting up Tyla, especially if you clearly don’t know a lick about vocal technique, because regardless of mine or your opinion, Tyla still doesn’t have a vocal performance stronger than this video alone. She’s not “trying” to do vocal gymnastics it’s called vocal dynamics and she’s very good at it, something Tyla also can’t do because her voice isn’t as versatile, complex, or well rounded

I cannot believe you guys are aiding this madness by helping them compare Rih to her 🤦🏽‍♀️ in what way can they even be in the same conversation if not y’all????

Help? This post isn’t a comparison, it’s to show that there isn’t one. God bless 🩷

It’s only amplifying it, because the only time I’ve heard of that babe has come from Navy and I wouldn’t have had to if we all just ignored them like we’re meant to.

Ignoring them is one thing, but ignoring the disrespect to her legacy is another, which I refuse to do, but you are right, thanks 🩷

This being the “vocal performance” in question 🫩🫩

Yes, this post is for real children of music, not idiot cunts who couldn’t identify the key of the first note but has an input 🫶🏻

She’s flat half the time babe, but the song is fun I get it

I think you need to know what flat is. Go to YouTube and watch a vocal coach analyze the techniques for you. What you consider “flat” does not make it flat. It’d be more humbling if you tried replicating.

her dodging the ''i saw the life inside YOOOUU" to youuu. 😭 this wasn't the best example of greet rih vocals

That wasn’t her dodging, as she literally sung it dumbass. It’s her dodging the backing vocals, she’s lead vocalist so duh. You get up there and try singing lead and backing.

My favorite performance

Oh common Navy Why are you guys constantly feeding into these stupid comparisons Ignore them for crying out loud!

No

Joining them in these senseless comparisons is why they keep feeling Tyla is on Rihanna’s level Bruhhh.

It’s just the internet, feeling like she’s on her level is different from reality. Once it comes to supporting her they’re never there.

@_ruthjames You’re never going to heal. Imagine being this worried about someone who you feel like is not going to make it. You talk about her 24/7 You’re keeping her relevant

@_ruthjames Them streams and album sales tell another story, there is nothing for me to “heal” from, I can talk about who I want on my damn page. Fuck wrong with you.

@_ruthjames Calm down gay boy, it’s not that serious. You stay online bragging 24/7 about Rihanna’s net worth and album sales as if your name is on her will. She’s not going to help you during the upcoming recession. She’s said with her own mouth that she hates broke bitches. 🤡

@_ruthjames “Gay boy” for 1, I’m a woman. A biological born woman, and I don’t brag about shit, I post Rihanna archives and defend her, idgaf about any of that, you are the broke bitches that she hates.

Que auto estima boa desse povo de achar que Tyla se compara a Rihanna hahahahaha acho muito engraçado, não é jogando hate na Tyla nem acho ela ruim pra ser sincero, mas querer comparar com Rihanna é demais, Rihanna anos luz a frente, Tyla nunca vai chegar nem perto de Rihanna.

Raw pure vocals, no overly pitch correction, actual belting, no loud backtrack, classy

Cute but we all know tyla out sings Rihanna

This is the proof?

Post her singing Russian Roulette too, sis

I feel sorry for both fans of both artists because they’re not particularly exceptional in any department. Their looks and attitude get the father than anything else. Arguing about which mediocre singer was slightly less mediocre, has got to be exhausting.

And I feel sorry for you, imagine typing all of this like we were gonna agree, all that mediocrity and yet your mediocre self would struggle attempting to replicate what either of them can do on stage, so what would that make you? Not shit. Run along ho.

Pathetic 😂 I actually worked with your mediocre singing idol when she was still performing on stage. I actually like her but again, the jobless cannot relate. Go and buy some more savage knickers to get in a twist.

“Worked with her” correction, you worked for her, now put some respect on her name ho, you still couldn’t do shit she’s done on stage therefore suck it💋

No no, with her was correct. She doesn’t run a production company. ❤️

She doesn’t need to❤️ you wouldn’t be in her face unless she chose you herself, cope😘

Dat part

Rihanna music is still played to this very day knowing she ain’t put anything knew out since she did the last two movie soundtracks, where tf is tyla being played at cause it damn sure ain’t anywhere around me, they don’t even play water in the club 😂

This was underwhelming. The Victoria’s Secret Diamonds performance was way better than this.

I disagree, not underwhelming at all and I prefer the vocal choices here.

Tyla can hang with rih please stop this

So drop those performances of her hanging with rih.

FACTS.

This is my fav diamonds performance ahh.

😂😂😂 funny thing is, you comparing an artist who just got in the game with someone who's been in the game. That means something. Also acknowledging that Rihanna was once like Tyla and saw room of improvement doesn't mean Tyla can't do the same. 😂

No, I’m comparing them around the same age. At 24, Rihanna was a well established artist. At 24, Tyla is still shaking her waist and doing tik tok dances.

"no, I'm not comparing them" but goes on comparing them 😹🤣 how funny is that. Yes, Rihanna was established at age 24. What are age did she start her career? Compared to Tyla

That’s not a comparison, it’s to show that there isn’t one🫶🏻 it doesn’t matter. Tyla is 5 years into her career, Rihanna 5 years into her career was still better and more successful.

So then since you like comparing their first 5 years.

Google set you up bad boo, not only did Rihanna have 3 Grammys 5 years into her career (by 2010) but she sold more albums. Filled more arenas, had more hits, more musicality, and Tyla’s two Grammys are from African categories while Rihanna’s THREE Grammies were from main categories, you must hate Tyla.

she won two Grammys for "Run This Town" (with Jay-Z and Kanye West) and one for "Only Girl (In the World)," those awards were handed out at the February 2011 ceremony, just outside of her first five years. I guess you and your Google are dumb 🤷🏽‍♂️

Uh no, she already had a Grammy for umbrella in 2008, and won two for run this town which she won in January 2010. Get up.

Saying “vocalist” is where you lost me. You know nothing about vocals and it shows, she’s not a better vocalist at all and it’s not even close. She has a light timbre with a cute vibrato which can sound more pleasing to you but objectively Rihanna is the stronger singer, Tyla can’t pull off half of Rihanna’s catalog vocally, meanwhile there isn’t a single vocal Tyla has done that Rihanna hasn’t already done and better.

Pinning black women? Are the black women here in the room with us? Rihanna is the only one racially black. You cannot pull off Rihanna’s catalog, probably simple shit like work or needed me is what makes you feel so confident but baby sledgehammer, diamonds, what now, stay etc, you’re a lie if you’re telling yourself you can sing those🫶🏻

I made perfect sense, run along.

Stop the cap... Rihanna can't sing... shes just dope as fuq....😑

So what is she doing here? Whispering?

Rihanna isn't a talented singer stop the cap... shes like Nelly furtado & Tate McRae.... no talent just vibes and aura...🙄

So like I said, what’s she doing here? Whispering? Just talking out the side of your neck, stfu.

Its a mix between screaming and yodling hun..... no talent...just aura.... 🤷🏾‍♀️

A mix between neither, it’s called belting and vocal dynamics, something Tyla’s bland vocals lack.

Tylas SUPER wack... can't stand her music... it all sounds the same.... I love rih...but she isn't a powerhouse singer... level 3 on talent... Rihanna can't compare to Whitney, or Mariah or even beyonce... and tylas just annoying and her music is trash...

Why would Rihanna compare to any of them? She doesn’t have to, not everyone wants to be some screaming ass singer and that’s okay. Rihanna’s voice is very unique and her technique is a vocal mystery imo. She doesn’t have to be considered a powerhouse to be a good singer.

A Rihanna fan should/could NEVER mention vocals. All shade. 🥴🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A Rihanna fan can and should mention vocals whenever tf they want. Take your lack of musicality and crawl in a ditch?

The same ditch her singing ability is in, right? Got it. Okay! 🫩🤣🫵🏾

Yes right ahead Tyla’s 🫶🏻

Rihanna ain’t ever been able to sing and this doubles down on it. Still better than jlo atleast

If you watched this video and got “can’t sing” then that says something about you not Rihanna. You’re partially brain dead with no musicality; start within.

All this and Rihanna still can’t sing nor write. Beautiful gowns

Better then Tyla

Rihanna can’t outsing Shamar let alone tyla… like I said, when it comes to singing only person she can outdo is jlo

Tylas voice is too thin to pull off half of Rihanna’s discography, Rihanna can sing any Tyla song, not the other way around 🫶🏻

Wait, why on earth and every other planet is there any comparison between RIHANNA and tyla?dhririiwjdirififjif

Cause South Africans be getting ahead of themselves disrespecting legends

Anything to make their country’s savior in the entertainment industry stay relevant I guess🥲

That Rihanna wave is done! That Tyla wave is beginning. Life goes on and new stars come in! It’s about time millennials have gatekept the industry for too long

The Rihanna wave will be done when Tyla can get out of her shadow, until then this is Rihanna’s shit, cope🫶🏻

Rihanna is not coming back the way you all think she is. You see what’s happening to Beyonce… and I love B but Gen Z is here and they out number us. They have caught on!

Sweetheart, she’s not Beyoncé she’s Rihanna, like I said, when you can get the new girls to be more relevant today then you can say that, otherwise cope.

Mark my word time will tell if I’m right or you…

It’s been 10 years, keep coping.

Girl I like Rihanna I think it’s time for change though

The 'is she a belly dancer or a singer' part 😂😂😂

WOWWWWW!!!! The songs on this album were perfectly fit for her!! And she made every live performance so intimate I’d fall in love with alll the performances.
