Fan MAIL: Rihanna copied her style from FeFe Dobson?

Sandra Rose July 22, 2008

Cristal Bubblin, SEA’s 2006 #1 Female Radio Personality, writes: “Rihanna the swagger jacker? I know that’s ya girl but this is pretty compelling…FeFe used to rock hard too.”

Ya well, I don’t see any evidence that Rihanna is copying FeFe’s style. Two women can’t have the same hairstyle? FeFe may have rocked hard, but where is FeFe now?

Rihanna is on top because Rihanna is a talented artist who knows her market. FeFe tried to infiltrate the rock market but failed to put a dent in that wall put up by white people to protect the sanctity of their precious rock music.

Yet Hip-Hop — which is supported mostly by urban white kids amused by lyrics about blacks killing each other — is dead.

My bad about my ghetto ass post! There was a LOT of “Sweetface” in that post..

I really like FeFe but her label sucked at promoting her and yes I do think Ri straight jacked her style. She even admitted she was a big FeFe fan before she cut her hair, dyed it black and added a lil rock to her swagger. But Ri took her style and ran w/it, I guess she made it her own now.

There are a lotta physical similarities between the two. Unfortunately FeFe probably wasnt willing to sell her soul or read from a script like ur precious Rihanna does. Rihanna is nothing but a 90’s repeat to me & there is nothing that screams “ORIGINAL,” “INDEPENDENT,” or “TALENTED” when I look at her

Do we really need to bring Hip-Hop in this, I really don’t hear about “killing” unless you talking about gangster rap like Ti or Jeezy or something.I digress.But Rihanna is nothing special though, really.Pretty face, check?Talent?Who cares?

Here’s FeFe’s my space http://www.myspace.com/fefedobson
her and Rihanna even favor each other. FeFe was rock/progressive from the start.

Sandra, … you got that “white” statistic correct. they buy more than we do. just a fact.

I really liked Fe Fe and I agree her record label sucked majorly at promoting her. I luvs me some Ri Ri too but too be honest it is only because of her rock/80’s inspired style. I mean she has some pretty decent cuts on her album that you can sing along too but I wouldn’t go so far as 2 calling her talented. Hell, only thing missing is a rich daddy and she could be almost a black Kim Kardashian, famous for no reason…

Nothing is new under the sun, not even haircuts or forced images. Hell half of these so called “original” FeeFee pics, remind me of Janet Jackson circa 1995. I swear that’s a standard haircut that tons of people rock when their hair is damaged and their trying to preserve some length.

This FeFe nonsense must stop. I was around when FeFe shot her first video, both times (no one was happy with the look).

When she first came out, she was supposed to knock the block off of Avril Lavigne. But it didn’t work. FeFe is a music industry creation pure and simple. And no matter what they do with her, no ones buying it, because she’s just some delusional black girl with identity issues. Points to her publicity camp for coming up with this one. But FeFe isn’t even original, so how can anyone be copying her?

Oh, for real? Are you f*cking serious! Do you think that Rihanna strategically markets her key audience with her style, appearances, music? She must be a one-man-organization, right? Fuck it! Who needs a manager, a record label, writers, stylist, PR…SH!T Ri Ri does it all!

Give me a f*cking break! This R!ihanna d!ck riding you’re doing is becoming a nuisance! She does what her label tells her to do. She’s a puppet! Deal with it!

About damn time!

Nothing about rihanna is original, and she’s industry made too. “pon de replay”. to punk rock chick. Oh no…..not buying it. i odn’t ususally respond to rihanna post cuz she’s exactly whats i don’t like about music. NO voice, has a pretty face and style. She gets no kind of luv from me. Sorry.

Agree with Kymystry, Halle made that hairstyle, but if you take a good look everything from hair styles, clothes and shoes from the 80’s and 90’s are coming back and RI RI looks great with it. Sorry Sandra but RI RI has the talent of rocking her clothes and hair styles. I like her songs because of the lyrics and the people that write the songs and music for her make it for her to sing the songs that’s why it seems that way but live RI RI looks not sound to good.

I’ve never heard of this FeFe until now.. But I did look her up and I do see the resemblence in styles.

FeFe fell off hard..or was she ever really on to begin with??
Rhi Rhi has has been marketed in a spectacular way…other than that folks wouldve been saying Rhi who?
ELove

FeFe fell down the Abyss-of-F*cked-Up CHOICES
Once she did that WNBA commercial and Poof!!!
Whatever stardom she envisioned Was Gone

Was that her record labels FAULT… Don’t know
And really don’t care and isn’t Rhi-Rhi straight
terika83

I agree with you Sandra. The only reason why she even made a comparison is because they are both women of color with rock styles. If FeFe were white, she wouldn’t have said a thing about it. SMH…
terika83

AND @ GWU…FeFe is NOT black…she’s biracial…HENCE her ALL WHITE brother…

“she’s just some delusional black girl with identity issues.”…smh…ignorance.

Hmm, Okay, so i wasnt going to really say anything here since i responded on another post yesterday regarding this.I knew about Fefe when she first came out, i guess she didnt quite cut it or people didnt take to her as they did Rihanna, BUT fefe is a better artist hands down, but oh well, it happens. Rihanna has no talent but whomever is backing her is doing a great job of hiding the fact that she is manufactured. She has gotten better, but will never be great!

She stole fefe’s whole look, someone needs to blast her more on this. An icon is an originator of something, not a copy cat and maybe FEFE was inspired too, but the tatoos in the same area, its waaaay too close, she jacked her style to some extent. I dont care one way or another BUT if you swagger jacking, then u need to be called out. They are both Def Jam artists so maybe it was something DefJam used on one artist and it didnt work, so they tried it on the next and its worked!

And for those who believe Beyonce needs to come harder, wait until her Nov. Release, it will be more like Rihanna who? fact is, Rihanna is a gimmic, as was Paula Abdul, Britney, and so many others who were manufactured and couldnt sing worth a lick, but they could entertain. Beyonce shouldnt even be compared to this chick here, Rihanna has no talent and she can’t sell records like that. She won a grammy based on Jay-Z’s help on a Single….thats all!
