The funny thing is guys, she can actually sing you just don't like her voice. As a singer it doesn't matter if you don't have the best voice, as long as you’re in key with the music that's playing, you can sing. Here Rihanna's about 17 with such a sweet voice, the haters don't like the little whine that's in her voice, personally I think it's beautiful. Every singer has had a horrible vocal performance but this isn't Rihannas.
I fell in love with this version at the age of 15 when I was living in Jamaica, I'm 21 now living in America, and I still love it, Rihanna ur voice is a gift, don't let the haters get u down, u have the power to touch millions across the world, with that voice u have
She was around 17 here. This is when she first came out. She looked so sweet then. This was before she gained her confidence as Rihanna. She was just Robyn here. Such a beautiful voice!!! I love her cover of this song.
Beautiful tone. Great musicality. Great runs. Good low and head voice. She delivers everything in her own way. No one is or have to be like Whitney and Beyoncé, and that’s okay. She offers what she has and I can very much appreciate it ❤
I'm loving this acoustic side of her even though it's old. Her voice is truly amazing and has progressed fantastically over the years and I love the way she sings this song. People are entitled to their own opinion and it's totally fine. More people like this than dislike it. We win Rihanna Navy!!!!
the amount of people on here trying to slander her is comical to me. She is worth probably $100 million with 6 or 7 album catalog. You are a little bit late wishing for her downfall lol.
I love this cover! I heard redemption song earlier today in the grocery store, and this is the version that comes to mind everything. I probably heard this cover when it came out and still love it 12 years later!
I think people just click dislike because she doesn't sound like a carbon copy of Bob Marley. Keep in mind folks... its okay to cover a song without copying the original artist. Rihanna is not a Human-Xerox machine copying Marley tunes. She is Rihanna.
I heard her cover of this song so many years ago and fell in love-every once in a while it just popped into my head and I have to listen to it again. I'm so glad she recorded it!
@@Badgalriri2.0but she showed a lot of potential here, like her Vibrato was pretty consistent. Her agility was good, her lows were strong, and she even did a crescendo which is really impressive.
She has a nice voice. Kinda wish we could get this Rih back. I understand people go through their growing pains but she seem so nice and innocent here.
pra quem está criticando a voz dela. o timbre da Rihanna é totalmente diferente de qualquer outro na indústria musical. É diferente , e única. Ela é boa mesmo assim. É uma música bonita. Ela é caribenha e admira o Bob Marley, ela está onde está hoje porque lutou e muito, passou por muitas dificuldades e se tornou uma grande cantora da atualidade. então não critiquem o trabalho dela.
negative people should leave. if you dont like her, why are you here? these hateful things arent gonna make anything change and aint nothing gonna happen but make you look stupid because she is just a huge fan of bob and your making it seem wrong and it is a positive thing. she also can sing and killed this cover an its best bob marley cover i have ever heard. She is still in the industry and you cant change that. And you dont have the mouth or the balls to be saying things about her. ily rih
The first time I’ve heard and seen this video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 awesome… Her voice is much more powerful now than it was back then not to take anything away from her voice and singing back then . Her voice and singing back then is what made her the Powerhouse she is today on stage and off ( regardless of whether or not she did hard drugs but I don’t think she did any hard drugs if she did you would have known or heard about it at that time… She probably was offered the hard drugs no doubt about it… but someone from above was protecting her the whole time..she had and still does have her guardian angels in the spirit world and from above and in the flesh still protecting her. If she didn’t have that protection and that very very strong mindset she has she wouldn’t be the billionaire she is today…. She had a plan and she followed through on it and executed it well and of course there were and still are forces that was in the midst and still are in the midst of trying to get a piece or try to gain part of her empire that she has built. And may I add I AM NOT speaking of anyone or any entity in particular or at all let me make myself clear on that!!! Corruption and Takers are everywhere let’s not sugarcoat reality.She Is an Astute Self Made Business Woman/ Entrepreneur and Entertainer . I Salute 🫡 and Applaud Her For Having The Strength and Courage To Stay Committed To Her Goals and Accomplishments. Island 🏝️ Girl ♥️BadGalRiRi♥️ 🔱💛🇧🇧💛🔱 ✊🏽RESPECT✊🏽
Why are people saying such hateful things about her? If you were a true lover of Bob Marley you would know that he focused on giving love to all people and you are clearly doing the opposite...if she likes the song and wants to sing it then good for her if you don't like it no one is forcing you to hear it! It's called clicking the big red "X" in the top right corner.
oh man this video makes me cry! you know why... this little girl 20 years after bobs death has shown how strong bob is in pop culture in the caribbean... this is an anthem guys... deep rooted in the Caribbean culture... beautiful job Rihanna... representing the man and his vision...
for all the people judging rihanna for singing this song, i did the same..but then i realised that a doer of evil can still look up to a good person and like them and be inspired by them..
wow all of you are hating on these two.. so what shes famous, so what its a cheap guitar, theyre singing and spreading love. Would bob approve of what you all are saying? take it easy and just enjoy the music
if you compare her live performances from 05-08 to 09-to now , she has gotten better now. if you see her aol sessions, hackney, wireless & kollen vocals its actualy better than when she frst started out.
She still can sing... Go watch Stay on SNL or Diamonds on X Factor or even We Found Love on X Factor too or Love The Way You Lie on Hackney Weekend (and much more) and stop saying shit...
Rihanna actually really surprised me with this she should really stick to reggae music and songs like these she doesn't have the best voice but her voice is relaxing when she sings like this :) and come on guys it wasn't that bad you gotta admit she really suits this type of music
All of Bob's songs are his alone. No cover could ever portray the feelings you get from the originals... Not to hate on Rihanna, I just don't think anyone could pull it off.
É LINDO VER QUE AS MÚSICAS DE BOB É CANTADA POR TODOS...ESSE CARA FEZ HISTÓRIA E ATÉ HOJE CONTINUA A FAZER...LINDO AMÉI É LINDO ISSO! QUE CONCORDA DA JOHIA
Wow I never knew she sang this live anywhere before Hope for Haiti, on Oprah. I agree her voice really does sound higher/lighter here, and just her whole persona seems more mellow here. She really has changed. I love her, however, alot.

She had good technique back then. drugs and alcohol and her not trying to improve technique are damadging.
well said indeed!!!
+Ignasi Martí Palet she's definitely a better singer than she ever was back then. Smoking weed won't damage your vocals unless you're careless.
@@Ignasimp damaging? Not at all, her voice is way better now! She aged and it became raspy and powerful!
True❤

You kidding?! This is freakin amazing!!!She just has a unique voice. I like it.
She was around 17 here. This is when she first came out. She looked so sweet then. This was before she gained her confidence as Rihanna. She was just Robyn here. Such a beautiful voice!!! I love her cover of this song.
I saw her do that Beyonce run in a singing compilation video and I had to find this. Look at fetus Riri! This is when I used to stan her so serious😂
Beautiful tone. Great musicality. Great runs. Good low and head voice. She delivers everything in her own way. No one is or have to be like Whitney and Beyoncé, and that’s okay. She offers what she has and I can very much appreciate it ❤
I think this sounds absolutely awesome!! I don't understand the dislikes!
Omg at 3:00-3:04 ,I swear to god she sounds like beyonce! !!
Omg yesssssss
@@madelincabrera4698 6 years later and I still hear it lol
EXACTLY
As usual, her voice always amazing!!
Whoooaaa her voice is perfect here!
She always so chill and effortless. I respect that
I'm loving this acoustic side of her even though it's old. Her voice is truly amazing and has progressed fantastically over the years and I love the way she sings this song.

On EVERYTHING right at 3:00 it sounds jusssst like Bey !
OMG YES!!! LoL, I remember they where comparing the 2 vocally when she first came out... But, she changed her style...
JESUS IM SHOOK OK RIHANNA
OMG !
Vibrato + runs
Jesus, i thought bey would come walking out
just 18 years old
@PERFECT TIME no, she was about 17 here
the amount of people on here trying to slander her is comical to me. She is worth probably $100 million with 6 or 7 album catalog. You are a little bit late wishing for her downfall lol.
very well said!!she ain't falling down haters!!and this cover is one of the best of redemption songs!
And now she’s the richest female musician :O so proud of her cuz she got so muchhhh hate throughout her career and people trying to discredit her
Now she’s a billionaire. Rihanna reign won’t let up!
beyonces spirit took it over around 2:56
I love this cover! I heard redemption song earlier today in the grocery store, and this is the version that comes to mind everything. I probably heard this cover when it came out and still love it 12 years later!
3:00 NAILED IT.

Best comment yet
Them high notes close 2 the end round 2:59-3:02 sent chills thru my body. I really love her vocal ability. My bae is slept on on that #smh
I heard her cover of this song so many years ago and fell in love-every once in a while it just popped into my head and I have to listen to it again. I'm so glad she recorded it!
Probably one of her bests vocals ❤ sad thing she doesn't serve them vocals today.
What? Her vocals are way better now.
@@Badgalriri2.0 right, her Love On The Brain performance was one of my favorites
@@Badgalriri2.0 Girl stop lying she’s been dodging notes now.
@@Badgalriri2.0but she showed a lot of potential here, like her Vibrato was pretty consistent. Her agility was good, her lows were strong, and she even did a crescendo which is really impressive.
QUEEN
She has a nice voice. Kinda wish we could get this Rih back. I understand people go through their growing pains but she seem so nice and innocent here.
tamarachandler85 she's still nice and very humble.
She was 17. Was she supposed to be a rebel?

Falou toda a verdade.
E hoje a Indústria saturada sente a falta dela.... ❤
she sings it so much better here than she does now!!
I could listen to this all day I wouldn't get bored . Rihanna has an outstanding voice . I don't give a rat's ass what the haters say .
She has such a beautiful voice
Omg I used to look at this youtube video when I was 10 still love it

Thanks for sharing this. I saw this from TV a few years back n has been so in love with this cover she did
i don't think anybody could do a Bob Marley song justice for the pure fact that Bob's voice echoed pain and emotion..
Best vocals I have ever heard from her
I miss sweet innocent Rhianna
Rihanna is freakin amazing!
2:59 beyonce popped out
So Sweet she is
lovely!

God has truly blessed her, she's so beutiful and her voice goes with it, If you disagree then why are you ever watching this?

The star of this performance is the guitar player, he's amazing.
If ever bob marley come back from the death, he will probably be proud of you rihanna..
Haters will always hate , esp. when they're talent-less
Rihanna sounds damn freakin good!
Oh my god, this is beautiful..
The most beautiful song of Bob Marley :'( (R.I.P)
Rihanna is the queen , and her hair were beautiful here !
What is thattt😭😭😭😍😍😍 beautiful im jealous

3:00 Beyhanna
Wow. So she actually can sing good things. Quite good.

gooooooooooooooooood vibrations,,,
Rihanna should do Reggae and forget mainstream music.
I don't think so
k odu That's a bad idea
I wish Rihanna would sing more, she actually sounds good!
if you compare her live performances from 05-08 to 09-to now , she has gotten better now. if you see her aol sessions, hackney, wireless & kollen vocals its actualy better than when she frst started out.
The Rihanna, we once love.......
ofc she can sing
3:00 Beyonce😳😍😍😍😘😘😘 my queen 👑 Beyonce
what's a voice...
Go rihanna sings this song awsome love it and i love riri
Great performance
this is a beatiful cover. rihanna should do more reggae instead of all the mainstream stuff
The best she has ever sang
Awsome!!!
Lovely!!!
Anybody watching this on 2021 !! See how young is Rihanna 😁😍 even her voice is still a child voice
back when she could sing,,,BEAUTIFUL!!!!
She still can sing... Go watch Stay on SNL or Diamonds on X Factor or even We Found Love on X Factor too or Love The Way You Lie on Hackney Weekend (and much more) and stop saying shit...
i'm not saying shit, i like her but i dont think she sings as great on a track as she use to
She still can lmao
She’s improved since then lol
Rihanna actually really surprised me with this she should really stick to reggae music and songs like these she doesn't have the best voice but her voice is relaxing when she sings like this :) and come on guys it wasn't that bad you gotta admit she really suits this type of music
