Imagine the surprise on passengers’ faces when they turned around and saw Rihanna riding on the subway with them. That’s exactly what happened when the “We Found Love” singer decided to take the tube to one of her “LOUD” concerts at London’s O2 Arena last month.
“I’m going to the show with the audience and they have no idea,” said an excited RiRi. “By the way, I’ve always wanted to do this.”
Watch the reactions as surprised passengers notice that a superstar is in their presence.
As much as I don’t rate her as an artist (the most vulgar word right now) she does seem like a cool girl, really chilled, someone anyone could be friends with :)

@dntwrry, They only used “subway” in the headline because this is an American website. They correctly referred to the Underground as “the tube” in the article
Watching this clip (especially towards the end when she riding up the escalator..did you see the people behind her) is proof that this girl is her own movement!
Love her or hate her, Rihanna isn’t going anywhere no time soon.
I truly recall Beyonce doing this exact same thing, but in New York. Like c’mon now! That is not original…. Rihanna is already getting repetitive and annoying to me as is. I think that we should just realize that Rihanna is trying to be like Beyonce…. SMH! I am starting to like Rihanna less and less. Loud was pushing it, and now Talk That Talk is just going over the edge. She is promoting a more promiscuous look and less of the “woman of the year” she was a few years back. What happened? I know it is okay to have fun club songs, but music with no substance is shameful. I hope that this album comes and goes and Rihanna learns to take a break. I as well as many I know are ready for her to take a break. She needs to produce songs with substance. Her 11 number ones are not deserving to me. Not all of them at least.
@Rachel, Yep Bey did this, these days she is going back to being mini B. I dont know why, from the hairstyles to the album covers.. i’m not tryna start an argument with anyone cause you people will argue about anything but I think now that she has found her identity in the industry she is showing the Beyonce influences again.
It isn’t necessarily a bad thing, she hasnt made it a secret that she looks up to B
Miles Walker December 28, 2010 at 12:02 pm Thanks Toby-Wilson. I’m excited for you to check out your duet I think you are going to love it for any nubmer of reasons. Thinking about your set up and recording goals, software compression might not be that bad .and there’s even ways of using it, to tape so it will still feel like how you record. If you are using Protools HD, you can set up you mic to input on and Aux track that has a software compressor on it. Then route that aux to a fresh audio track and arm it. That way, the compression will be recorded onto the signal, giving you your compression to tape feel you’ve done before. I’ve actually recorded this way when I’m been on the road and in a studio that didn’t have a compressor. It’s not my favorite way to work, but there are some tasty software compressor emulations that really do a great job .like TC Electronic’s CL-1B TDM emulation. Wow. Now..if you are using an all native based DAW, like logic or cubase, then you could do the same thing, however, you are introducing some latency into the signal which might end up being more trouble than it’s worth. For that instance, I’d say just record off your pre amp a little quieter than usual, and make up for it afterward, so you don’t accidently distort to tape. If you are looking for a better hardware solution for the a low budget, I’ve actually been really impressed with the RNC (really nice compressor) line. They are great half space solid state units that sound smooth if you are looking for a mild tracking compression. Super portable and really inexpensive for their function. When used subtly for tracking purposes, you can make something nice and even on the way in. I hope that gets you going. Take care
