Rihanna Covers Up, Inspires Beyonce’s “Second” Single?
“I don’t like to wear things too skimpy,” said the Barbados-born singer, according to Female First. “If I do shorts on the bottom, it’s gotta be something very conservative on top. If it’s skimpy at the top, it’s gotta be long jeans or something.”
She went on to say that she strives to be like fellow songstress Alicia Keys when it comes to balancing her music with her sexy image.
“That’s what I admire so much about Alicia Keys. She became so successful off of just her music. She was really conservative about her style at first.”
left Rihanna will have a chance to put her words into action on Sunday, August 20 when she performs her hit song “S.O.S” at the 2006 Teen Choice Awards.
Speaking of Rihanna, rumors are swirling that she was the inspiration behind Beyonce’s new single “Ring The Alarm.” On the track, Beyonce shouts: “Ring the Alarm! I’ve been doin’ this too long. But I’ll be damned if I see another chick on your arm.”
Some believe that the words are directed at Rihanna, who was rumored to be spending quality time with Beyonce’s boyfriend Jay-Z in New York while she was off filming Dreamgirls in L.A. It might be good timing on Beyonce’s part, as the Caribbean starlet plans to join Jay-Z on a 3-date tour of South Africa in October.
But the inspiration behind Beyonce’s “Ring The Alarm” may not be the biggest question. Some reports regarding the song have Beyonce fans wondering if the track will even be her next single at all.
After lukewarm reception from focus groups, Beyonce’s management group has reportedly decided to nix the fiery track and go with Swizz Beatz “Get Me Bodied” or The Neptunes' “Green Light” as the second single, according to rap-up.com.
A video for “Ring The Alarm” has already been shot and was scheduled for release on Yahoo! Music this week. Beyonce is also scheduled to perform the song at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 31.

RIHANNA DON'T WANT BEYONCE'S MAN!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even know if Beyonce want him. Everybody talkin bout how Rihanna can't sing how she a slut and how she taking B's man I don't think it's true at all.Rihanna is gorgeous and she is a very talented singer.Now talking about her stealing Beyonce's man is a different story. If Beyonce was as good as they come then she would be able to keep her man instead of letting a 18 year old up coming artist "take him"
A very good question! Why Beyonce lose her boyfriend??? I think Rihanna is better. More beautiful, hotter, sexier and very, very romantic. And sh´s the most beautiful yeas and legs of the world. I`m sooy Beyonce, you are with Rihanna`afraid because any women love lose your man for the professional rival. Bye.

Why is beyonce so insecure? rihanna is young and charming. I iunderstand this two people are getting married then why should jay-z go messing around with other ladies. What is so appealing in Jay z all that he 's got is money and nothing to make ladies go sexy hot red it is so surprising. Rihanna deserves a guy who is as hot as she is dont you think so? Again people calling rihanna a whore what is all that about if you don't give your man enough and the best ofcourse he will look for better options. Don't you know tastes goes with age. Again Jay z needs to explore those fresh cuties i cant blame him though am not a good fun of his. Beyonce should find another tactic of getting her man back she should not ring the alarm on rihanna cuz rihanna has already rung her it on her and that is why she jumped to release that song. She older than rihanna and they have nothing in common why cant beyonce leave her in peace. She says she cant bare seeing another chick on Jay z arms what is she gonna do? f**k the hell out of the gal or her man. Pull up your socks you are scared that rihanna has better looks and might steal your fiancee. For your information he has the right to change his mind cuz you are not yet his wife.She has the right to be jealous but she has to work extra hard cuz everyday beatiful gals are born. Rihanna continue with your good work. She is young yet she has achieved so much am a very good fun of hers. You And jay z can hide under your umbrella and kick beyonce out in the rain. You'd rather be with the handsome guy xris brown other than jay z. And again rihanna has enough money why be a gold digger for jay z. Big ups gal rihanna. Don't let people make you look like scare crow and they are the ones.

i think that it is great to know that some of the female artist decides that to b over skimpy is not r good sight but taken from da music is good.
but if they feel comfortable in whatever they r wearin'denno problem.

rihanna is so fake she should get a life. she is one of my favourite singer(my #1), but now she is starting to be bad. no wonder her album is called "good girl gone bad." i heared that rihanna called him to go to new york, and they went in to a room (at jay-z's hotel 40/40) and they spent over 4 hours in that room. i don't know what they were doind, no one know's. beyonce is doing that song to rihanna. everyone you must trust me it is true.

hey! rihanna is such a talented young woman that going topless for a casual magazine photo shoot isn't nesessary. far too many young singers today utilize such as a way of creating a 'shock' value. even brandy didn't use such cheap tricks for a comeback. rihanna is an "island" girl and as such, nudity is a casual affair, not the 'soul burner' the religious fruitcakes would have us believe.

is it just coinsedence or did beyonce time her 'wet' Vibe cover just before kelly had hers on 'King'? of course, if kelly had used the article photos, that would've blown beyonce off the mag rack! she ain't no "background" girl any more.
