With the release of her ‘Talk That Talk’ album on the horizon, Rihanna returned to ‘The X Factor (US)’ to promote the project. The vixen performed a rendition of her latest single, ‘We Found Love’, from the record and proved that if she ever tried to audition for the show that she would probably lose.
‘Talk That Talk’ will hit stores on November 21st. Rihanna will battle for the top spot on the tally against Mary J. Blige, who will issue her ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act 1)’ on the same day.
Rihanna barely sang a note in that entire performance and blatantly mimed over a backtrack. Exactly which part of ‘We Found Love’ was too difficult to handle live?
Perhaps Rihanna was just tired from all of that intricate choreography. What’s that you said? All she did was jump around the stage? I hope LA Reid is proud of his most prized artist. He truly has an ear for real talent.
Thanks Neon Limelight!
Rihanna’s talent is in that hopeless place she keep talking about. This performance needs a spot RIGHT next to it.
His most prized artist is dominating the music industry at the moment, so I bet he is proud. RIHANNA IS SLAAAAAAAAAAAYING IT, whether you want to admit it or not!
it was so messy
*dead*
Haters!!! She actually did well. I liked the fact that she actually sung over the track, because you can obviously tell that she was singing. Good job Riri
Rihanna performance was weak, which is not surprising. Lmao at the gif!
rihanna>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>bleachonce
and you hoes will deal!!
Chris Brown dated her for what, 3 years? Even he couldn’t teach her to dance.
I kid. Ioved that song. Too bad the background vocals were too loud.
“I liked the fact that she actually sung over the track, because you can obviously tell that she was singing…”
the fuck 0_o
That was a mess. I don’t even know why she had a microphone.
Clearly she’s tired and didn’t have time to figure out a performance for this or You Da One. On her day in between shows, she’s flying from the UK to LA and then back again to squeeze in promo.
She shouldn’t be putting an album out right now. She recorded in hotel rooms while on tour and she can’t promote it because she’s on tour. I’m waiting on her exhaustion fallout.
Rihanna has so much potential to be greater than this. I personally feel she had the opportunity to be just as big as lady gaga but unfortunately what separates the too is her lack of stage presence. I mean come on Madonna can’t carry a tune but she’s considered a great, because she can put on a hell of a show. It’s like we see no growth in Rihanna to say she’s been doing this for 7 years?
It was…. that pretty much it. The 2 step was nice lmao
something mos def sounded like there was something wrong with her mic because even when she was talking to him she sounded aired out….. plus there is a an echo in the original song and it seems like they were trying to replicate that because they also did the same for her performance of the song at 02………..#reach for the starts trent. You are very well versed in music and know exactly what to say to have these ignorant fools believe every word you say…. however those who know music like I do (im a worn out record when it comes to me telling you this) we know better. Great post.
I heard her singing over the back up track and she sounded good. She gave an upbeat fun performance. I think she did great and has improved. She used to get very nervous and couldn’t control he’d voice she’s been improving ever since performing at the award show with eminem. People being rude about her performance are just jealous…because if she’s as shitty as yall say she’s still beautiful, rich, and a superstar.
well I am certainly not going to claim to be an expert on music , therefore I don’t know whether she is miming or not.
That being said for someone who is almost nearing 40 and certainly not part the group that Rihanna is aiming at I have to say that the song is very catchy. I can see why young people like the song and quite frankly she does not need to sell the song performance wise. Most of the work is already done where that is concerned
Stupid stans!
Yo! Ri done gain some weight. Look at her chubby cheeks. lol
I like the song but i was so pissed off at the performance. she barely sang!!!! The backtrack was so loud.
I did not like the performance.
haha that gif is hilarious!
But…..Why is she so out of breath? Ok…moving along…
the worsest performer of all time yeah i said it she sucks
You are the reason why she is still on top.You Hate on her nonstop but guess what like she says #WeBadYouMad….and also whats her new album title #TalkThatTalk and tthats exactly what your doing. So thanks for the promotion ;PBuahhahahah
Oh Wow !!!!AMAZED!She is truely talented she is out beating me at my own game.Rihanna you are the Best !That Rihanna reign just wont let up!!Plus yeah im Beyonce but Rihanna you got That Caribbean Swagga!!LOVE IT<3
This was actually a good fun energized performance. Sure r perhaps alot of it wasn’t live. But performance wise she did a great job to me. She had some showmanship.
Wow Rihanna fans are sad It takes next to nothing to impress them Lol this was bad Admit it damn
“I like the fact that she was singing over a the track” Are serious? Omw Lmao
Hahaha this post is a mess!!
There’s nothing left to say about Rihanna’s “artistry”. We already know what she can and can’t do… clearly she can be a successful entertainer and clearly she can’t be a singer at all. Bye girl.
This is why she will never be great because her ignorant fans refuse to admit when she has done a very… very…. very…. bad performance. She has been in the music game for almost seven years and she has not improved at all. All she did was lip and 2step on stage.

That gif slayed me! #ThatIsAll
Anyone who says this performance was good is straight up lying & just because people think this performance was horrible (which it was) doesn’t mean they’re hating! Rihanna is a bad performer, thats not hating that’s called the truth!
RiRi has gained weight…n I can’t really comment on a performance because this wasn’t one. #NEXT
