Sounds like they don't fly much for work in the first place. I fly for work every second week, you find things to do when you are on a plane or waiting for a flight that is once again been delayed.
They even said she lip-synched her way through promotion, which clearly isn't the case going by the clips on Youtube

Yep, lip-synch comments looked like a cheap revenge for all the drama. They could go with her singing horrible, that's more believable. Clearly she sang live.

Delays, queuing, being stranded, and stuck on a plane for several days in a row is hardly the same thing as taking a flight every second week.

I don't like her not showing to the press on the same plane. Very Madonna's attitude.

Er, happy for you being a jetsetting traveller but this wasn't exactly flying coach on JetBlue, it was a private airplane leased out for a very specific purpose being delayed for very specific reasons (ie Rihanna fucking around as one journalist put it).

I'm sure it was incredibly hard for her too. It was just a bad idea (or a great one considering it got her name in the papers).

Yeah, I never got the idea of this 'PR'. So silly since no one heard the new album and she barely sing it.

:wtf:

If you accept an invitation to a 7 days tour around the world you will expect to spend an awful lot of time flying.
Flying can be very tiring, they were probably treated to first class service and still they expected Rihanna to entertain them on the flight while she was probably just as tired as them plus being stressed out by having to play 7 concerts with little to no rehearsals time
They sound like spoiled brats
Again, a frequent-flyer would expect the traveling bit to be extremely boring and exhausting .
What else did they expect to do on the plane?

They don't come across like spoiled brats at all. The main complaint levelled at the trip was that it was extremely disorganised, and that many of the delays and problems could easily be avoided. They were also given certain expectations by the record label about the kind of access they would be given, which weren't honoured. The journos would have pitched stories to their editors, and then realised that they were now in a position where they would have to pull stories out of their arses. They probably didn't come armed with books and MP3s because they expected to be working.

Of course flying can be tiring (you talk like you're the only person who flys frequently!) but with a bit of planning it can be managed. These people weren't in the position to do that because they weren't in control of their schedule. It was being managed for them, and it was the hopeless way it was being run that caused the frustration. Having seen the photographs of the cabin, it certainly didn't look like first class to me!

Over and above all of that, this was a PR exercise! You would have thought that someone somewhere would have tried to get the basics right! No, what is most obvious is that Rihanna, having committed to such a trip, couldn't be arsed with it once it started.

The first class section was curtained off for Rihanna and her 'entourage'. The media and poor fans dragged along on this trip were in coach.


Don't bother though. It's like talking to a wall.

No, they were in economy. Two appearances in seven days from her on THE SAME PLANE as them is acceptable? Daily press conferences ALL cancelled?

While she was probably just as tired as them plus being stressed out by having to play 7 concerts with little to no rehearsals time.

No, she was up partying til 5am and waited til everyone was on the plane before she even had her wake-up call. If she has no rehearsal time, stop releasing an album every five minutes. And she stank of weed too.

They sound like spoiled brats
What, every single journalist from blogs, papers and magazine ALL agree and they sound like spoiled brats?

Again, a frequent-flyer would expect the traveling bit to be extremely boring and exhausting .
They weren't complaining about that. They were complaining about being made to wait four hours because she was late, time and time again. Badly organised, promises not delivered, even the bloody fans who were there were outraged! Some of her devoted flans ACTUALLY LEFT before the end because they were so badly treated!

What else did they expect to do on the plane?
Um... let me think .... see the woman who they were supposed to be interviewing and talk to her, perhaps?

Suddenly 'Stay' is very remix-able song. And dancey :shy: Didn't expect this. All mixes I found are very different and really, really good

@rihanna: #STAY is the new and second single from #UNAPOLOGETIC ..... #PourItUp has also been officially sent to U.S. Urban radio!! #hello2013

She also tweeted she'll be performing on Grammys. :alexz:

Rumor has it she was in Ireland this week, probably for Stay video shooting. Outdoors Rihanna vids, as always.
The era's doing great so far. Perfect decisions, perfect timing. :clap:
