The awkward moment when Rihanna performs better when she’s sick lol.

I actually though these performances were alright. But who was in charge of turning on and off the echo?? All I can say is SABOTAGE haha

Do you expect her to miraculously start dancing like Ciara and sing like Jennifer Hudson? Hope not because that is never going to happen!

I’m a fan of her band, they ain’t got nothing on the Suga Mama’s but they make her songs more interesting. Where have you been needs to be worked on a bit more, the cuts to the chorus were awkward.

@olly_tei so you expected Mariah to do choreography while singing Hero? Are you that stupid? Mariah sounded good in Austria in the freezing cold while Rihanna sounds TERRIBLE singing on SNL and EVERY DAMN PERFORMANCE. What a fucking shame.

that back track. she barely sings her songs. her dancing was so stiff in the second video. She concentrates so much on her pussy. Why all the pussy patting? i can’t with this chick.

never saw a body that stiff

Stop hatin so bad on Rih Trent! Music video editors can make anyone look good dancing. That’s some nasty shade. Why can’t you give her some credit and leave it at that instead of going in?

Mariah Carey (Legend) and Rihanna (Gimmick) Shouldn’t Be in The Same Sentence That is All!

I’ve seen her in concert and she can barely sing, not once did she even try to sing the hard parts she just pointed the mic at the crowd and let them sing it. People were leaving half way through the concert. What happened to real talent? now we just make anyone famous!!

I stan for RiRi, but she does the same wine and stay pattin’ her genital areas, LOL!

I travel ALOT and in the Caribbean and parts of the UK people don’t really stan for RiRi nor Nicki like they do in the states. Trent, you were right in that video when you said “We Don’t Claim Dem!”.

RiRi needs take singing lessons and dance lessons. Other than that, I like Rihanna because of her style and gimmick.

@JH! PREACH! I feel exactly the same.

Now, I am a Rih fan BUT I am tired of this. Many of us are. All she seems to care about is the ‘lifestyle’ and drinking, clubbing, strippers, ‘420’, changing her hair, patting her Vagina, telling her fans to deal with her re-union with Chris, not being a role model but a ‘rockstar’ etc… the list is endless.

Although I used to think Trent was harsh on her, we have seen him praise her when she slays. The WHYB video wads incredible. he said it was amazing and even tweeted her this.

We need to stop making excuses for her. She has been in the game too long and has too many accolades to always be excused. Sick or not sick, she rarely delivers. I have seen her live several times – she makes US, the audience, sing the hard parts!

I am tired of this ‘I don’t give a pucks’ attitude. It is boring. Many of us are bored. I would never usual comment but this has actually annoyed me. She has a lot of money, power, fame and it’s because of the fans. She needs to deliver and keep arming it. I don’t doubt she works hard but how can dancing only be a priority NOW? it has taken years for us to see her dance well. She ever said that she has been to busy touring and basically having a presence everywhere but the actual stage.

And as it has been said, real fans need to keep it real and not kiss ass. I hate how so many of her ‘stans’ kiss her ass. When you say something, she drags you on Twitter and all the ‘Navy/ Elite Navi’ come at you.

I am venting but it is frustrating because she gave us Umbrella, We Found Love, Where Have You Been… masterpieces. She is too big to fail to deliver so much. She’s too much of a celebrity… she needs to own it and be a STAR.

I’m really not hating. I have been a huge fan for years. This is why I get annoyed. I see too many videos where I just shake my head.

I am DONE. For now.

she just isn’t even trying anymore.

Those were good performances Trent. she killed Talk that talk; she danced and actually SANG more than she did gimmicks. she was kinda shy on Birthday cake but then she got comfortable.

and i agree with the fact that she is slowly losing herself. All that unhealthy lifestyle is gonna get her but she is too busy trying to perduade herself that she is cool. Not wanting to let ppl’s opinion to define you is one thing but doing shit just to provoke is v different and that’s what rihanna does. Work more and shock less Rihanna ( at least Shock with your talent not with your life all over the tabloids) because ppl WILL get tired of it they are slowly starting to.

These performances were decent. A little more energy infued into them would have been mmuch better. She wasn’t as awful as Trent is trying to make her out to be. Trent the Rihanna bashing is getting lame. It’s the same thing over and over again. You and thatgrapejuice enjoy bashing her, yet y’all keep talking about her. If she doesn’t have talent and you don’t like what she does, then talk about someone else that has the talent that you like. She brings y’all hits*, thats why y’all go on and on about her…

She has a lot more work to do. She needs to take some time off so that she can get her performance skills together. Every time she takes a step forward, she takes eight steps backward. She needs to take her career more seriously, especially at this point in which people are becoming sick of the industry’s lackluster output. People are becoming less and less forgiving.

The fact that some people settle for this kind of performances… SMH. How can you no demand a decent show from your fave? *walks out*

THE QUEEN!!!! You lessors and your flop favs could never.

She was sick, even took penicillin……….

This was one of Rihanna’s better performances. That being said, it still sucked ass. she still sounded like a horny and/or frieghtend goat. That band behind her had me jamming tho. And as for all that vaginal patting…I think it’s time someone visit a clinic.

Man if this was a new artist who came out with this performance, she would have been shut down! But since it’s her they let her slide ugh!

OMFG…Im so sick of these people exaggerations!!! Birthday cake was a bit awkward i admit. But you cannot sit behind your devices and say riri did awful with where have you been. I think this site has become all about who can say the most negative thing. Rihanna did great and now needs to work on her wind while singing and dancing live.

P mf. S….for all you comparing her to Mariah, lets see her dance for once while singing LIVE. Your feelings would be hurt!

@ mya…Lol well said

this was beyond the word “horrible” this bitch makes my ears bleed i would rather hear a damn old lady sing or something this hoe sounds like cats dying i mean lord no stage presence at ALL! no vocals lord she sound so damn horrible but i mean every live show she does is beyond horrible SMH

I love my bby Rihanna and thats all I can say! She growing as an artist and everyone can see it.

Really, there’s no point in keep on talking about Rihanna’s singing habilities. She’s fun and a show woman. She’s doing her thing. She screams, people like it. Because we all can sing like that. That ain’t no inspirational, it’s like eating chips. No nutricional facts. Just play play.

@Benron I work at a hospital, in the OR (operating room).. I’ve seen the pic.. and I stand by my comment. I agree with @theeriq she is who she is no nutritional facts she is Pop(corn) its delicious but is never filling. There is nothing wrong with it I love popcorn. We agree to disagree. It’s ok.
