Well, we have come to the end of another year and it has been an interesting one in the entertainment industry. Naturally, the big story was Rihanna’s success on the international market with “Pon De Replay” following her signing to Def Jam Records. While she did not get nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards, she is young and talented, and once she keeps it up she may secure a nomination for one of the bigger awards in the future.

I just added 3 new songs to the audio secton of RW! Click here to download Let Me, Pon De Replay ft. Elephant Man & The One ft. Memphis Bleek!

According to vh1.com-
2005 became download culture’s year zero, as MP3 blogs sprung up quicker than an Internet virus, and iTunes forced your local record store to shut its doors. It’s not too late to jump on board — here are the tracks that deserve to be on everyone’s portable player!
Rihanna — Pon de Replay
Jay-Z’s latest prot?g?e is a sexy teen from Barbados. Thumping in all right the places, “Replay” ruled the summer — and seems destined to become a block party staple.

Others included: Amerie – 1 Thing, Madonna – Hung Up, The Strokes – Juicebox, Missy Elliott – Lose Control, The White Stripes – My Doorbell, R.Kelly – Trapped in the Closet, and sooo much more!

I believe that when people all over the world think of the Caribbean they think “sun”. But the funny thing about the Caribbean that they probably don’t acknowledge, is that yeah, for most of the year it’s sunny, but there are times when it rains, and this album depicts it all. Rihanna uses her voice to take us on a ride. A ride that I must admit I enjoyed. She fuses reggae and dancehall with hip-hop and R&B and she oozes flair and confidence simply in the way she delivers. On tracks like Pon De Replay, Rush, Let Me, Music Of The Sun and That La La La she brings the party vibe using dancehall and hip-hop, and these tracks will make you feel so happy and carefree.

Concert lineups rarely match the physical beauty that Santa Slam paraded Wednesday at Pepsi Coliseum. By definition, pop radio station specializes in the superficial. But to send attractive musicians Nikki Flores, Hope Partlow, Rihanna, the Pussycat Dolls and the Click Five to the stage in a single night is a remarkable feat. Audience members had to feel for Howie Day.

The stars that walked the red carpet at the third annual VIBE Awards had one thing in common – fierce style and a hunger for attention. The ladies were all about the short dresses, with Mariah Carey and Kimora Lee Simmons donning similar long-sleeved, sparkling mini-dresses. Teairra Mari went with a classic little black dress by Rocawear, while Rihanna went with a variation on the style, with a puffed-up black-and-white bottom half of her dress. Long dresses were represented by Trina, who complimented her long blond tresses with a floor-length lavender strapless gown, and reality TV villain, Omarosa, who wore a long stretch denim gown by Italian designer Vellucci. source

We recently spoke with 17-year-old singer Rihanna. Her song “Pon De Replay” is one of our favorites. She describes her music as Caribbean beats mixed with R&B. Rihanna is from the island of Barbados, and even though she is living in the U.S., she says she stays in touch with her friends in Barbados every day. Before Rihanna became a singer, she says she “just went to school and other things that normal teenagers do. I liked to go to the beach a lot and hang out with my friends. I like to watch television and dance.”

Rihanna attended the 2005 Vibe Awards, where she looked amazing. She presented an award along with Teairra Mari. I added 100 pictures of this event some in HQ and some in regular medium quality but they are all great, simply click on the one of the thumbnails below so access the entire set of pictures. Big thanks to my good friend Adrian from TrinaFan.com for most of these hot pictures.

Many Blazers were present at a free concert on Tuesday, Nov. 8, held at City Place Mall in downtown Silver Spring. Local radio station Hot 99.5 and Billboard chart topping signer Rihanna hosted the concert. Half an hour before show time, the crowd in the food court of the first floor was still sparse. By 7 p.m., fans young and old could be seen all the way on the fourth floor trying to get a glimpse of the young Barbadian singer whose debut song “Pon De Replay” was number two on the Billboard charts for a greater part of the summer. read more
