Not impressed, this Interview with Oprah & Rihanna was as just as much a travesty as the so-called exchange betwixt Rosemary Alleyne and Freundel Stuart not so long ago…
I have watched the Rihanna video, for those of you want to watch it try DailyMotion although don’t be surprised if the link is pulled – it was clear this whole exercise was a nice PR fluff even down to how Barbados is portrayed, yet not even a by the way mention how the island is gripped in a recession and how drug production is on the rise for the former middle class to eke a living, nor the fact elections are looming…
Ah yes, Rihanna did show vulnerability with the Electra syndrome as she wrestles with her Father’s influence and while the magnanimity for her mom with the mini-manse was oh so trés sweet, I got the feeling her mother knew because her reaction to receiving the large expanse was far more understated than one would expect…
Where did Oprah fall down? Many areas, where to start? Since Oprah herslf pointed how TIME listed “RiRi” as one of the 100 most Influential People of the Year, then knowing the Westbury girl is considered a role model whether she likes it or not, then why did Oprah not ask her about how Nivea cancelled her huge contract?
What was Rihanna’s big idea of sporting C**T on a pendant into a Catholic Church – how could Oprah miss such a thing if she is truly concerned about women’s rights? Even “RiRi” using the same jewellery when taking photos with young fans at their parents’ ire?
If this gal from Westbury is so into God and loves her Grandmother so much, then why accept a lapdance from a midget Dominatrix which could confuse and upset the old lady – you don’t think she’d hear in this day and age of Technology, if the grandmother did not view it herself then she could have been told by a neighbour? Oprah should’ve ALSO asked why Rihanna does these extreme bad things which contrasts with “RiRi’s” Cultural Ambassador status for Barbados?
The real kicker is – if Chris Brown is the love of her life as she admitted then how can they be JUST FRIENDS? Oprah failed in her interviewing; or was she encouraged not to probe too deeply? Regardless, I am disappointed!
I know there are Rihanna fans who even if the Westbury girl f*rts then her legion of FANatics will swear cookies are baking, but I am not and never will be that way for anyone, not even family or friends… Ask them, if you do crap, I call you out, period! Do right or get out…
But many Barbadians are so biased now politically or otherwise once you’re affiliated to this party or like this music or that poetry then even if the promulgator performs a Grand Felony it’s ok because they’re a DEM or a Bee or they like to listen to {So & So} or since this Calypsonian or the other wrote it, then only God handing Moses the sacred tablets is more significant than this event… That’s you, bub, I am and always will be the little kid who screamed the Emperor is naked as a Jaybird.
Barbados has too much of this biased blinkerdom! Rihanna fans will scream I am just being a “hater,” I am only trying to wake up Barbados to reality which is there in front of their shut eyelids; it’s not that I am not a one eyed man trying to be King among the Blind… I am trying to give Bajans some Lasik or Cataract surgery and they wish to still use Braille!
