The Shade......The Shade Of It All.

Clay Aiken criticizes Rihanna: 'She has pitch problems'

Clay Aiken has suggested that Rihanna isn't a strong singer.

The star was discussing The Celebrity Apprentice on Watch What Happens, when host Andy Cohen asked which current popstar would have trouble succeeding on American Idol.

"Oh God, there're too many. Too many... Current pop singer? I've stopped listening to them because they can't sing," Aiken admitted.

The second season American Idol runner-up then said: "[I'll go with] Rihanna [because she] has some pitch problems for sure. She does... Now I'm gonna get in trouble, too."

Rihanna has sold 47m singles in the US alone and has also won five Grammy Awards.

The 'We Found Love' singer has yet to respond to Aiken's comments.

Well he's telling the truth. Her voice is so nasal but Katy Perry is worse.

Ewww agreed. I hate when people try and defend folks who can't sing their own damn songs

Yea, I don't understand why liking someone but acknowledging their faults is so hard.

Because it seems like it's always brought up about female pop stars when for every one of those there's some rock guy who couldn't carry a tune to save his life.

LMFAO this Katy performance has to be the most embarrassing thing in the world

This is such an incredibly difficult song to sing. I'm not surprised this trick can't pull it off.

Katy can sell records/singles but I seriously have never heard a single live performance of hers where she sounded on point. It's like her songs are way too high for her or something.

Katy Perry would have a decent voice if she didn't insisted on wailing everything.

Yep.

I was honestly so mad that he said her instead of Katy. Not that Rihanna sounds that great live, but I'd argue Katy is just worse overall on every level.
