“She has just the right amount of attitude”: It appears Rihanna is a fan of X Factor’s Tamera Foster!

She may have been in the X Factor sing-off the weekend before last but it seems Tamera Foster has a celebrity fan – and it’s only flipping Rihanna!

Rihanna was reportedly shown a tape of Tamera from her Boot Camp performance and has been a fan ever since. The Daily Star quote Rihanna as saying, “I got sent a link of her after she sang one of my songs at Boot Camp and I have been watching her ever since. The shows need to produce a superstar every two or three seasons to give them credibility, and she is already there in week five or whatever it is.”

“Simon is a smart guy, he will know she can sell records all around the world and will sign her to his label.” Wow! Now THAT’s some serious praise from RiRi!

Rihanna was also quoted as saying, “Tamera looks great, she has an amazing voice, and she has just the right amount of attitude.” 

While she’s probably still reeling from all the praise heaped on her by Rihanna, Tamera took to Twitter to clear up rumours about her dodgy past. She tweeted, “I just wanna clear a few things up, a lot of people have Been judging me on my past, as if to say I'm the only teenager that's done wrong...By no means am I using that to justify myself, but it's true, & to be honest I don't regret anything not because I'm proud...but because it's made me into the person I am today and that's a better one."

"Sometime you have to go through a whole lot of bad to receive the good...And that's what I'm doing so move on with me, I'm going after my dream and that's what I'll continue to do...I just hope people can recognise the change and give me a chance."
