Rihanna Performs ‘Disturbia’ On Pepsi Smash

Rihanna hit the stage at VH1’s Pepsi Smash concert in Tampa, Florida earlier this week to perform her hit ‘Disturbia’. I’d be lying if I said the, at times, terrible vocals didn’t leave a salty taste in my mouth, but I guess it’s to be expected.
What do you think of the performance?

    Ya know what. Your smart-ass (and unnecessary) comments about Rihanna are getting old. You don’t like her (yet she’s in your banner) but you continue to post about her.

    It’s not fun, it just makes you look STUPID.

    I’m surprised you haven’t been on these videos and Hatin’ on the Club by now. For someone who hates the girls, you STAY on her c***!

    Why DIDN’T you post the other videos? She sounded great doing Rehab and Shut Up and Drive was fierce. But no…you post the one bad performance don’t you.

    WAKE UP AND REALIZE THIS ONLY MAKES *YOU* LOOK BAD!

    lol Is that me or in 2 years she has not change anything ? When I see the Shut up and Drive’s live it’s like two years ago the same choréography, when I see Breakin D it’s the same too . I mean she can milk her huge album but at least the could up the game!

  10. Sam is a mother f***kin hater February 1, 2009

    i like rihanna, and i know she cannot sing this song live for s***, but stay off her ass u b**** hatin mother f*****, she done amazing singin Rehab live but know, you want a bit of controversy dont yah, get everyone beefed up, and all the rihanna f***** haters come out. you just love it, i bet he loves rihanna really, but does this so it gets everyone commentin, gets on my nerves man

    rihanna is the worst singer, and performer ever! I saw the rehab performance and shut up and drive performance and they were not great performances. If an artist is going to perform all three of there songs than they should at least give a great or remarkable performance for each song and for there fans to enjoy. Don’t just walk around on stage and making faces like u really give it ur all at hitting the notes. That just what rihanna was doing. She is a pretty girl and can dress nice but that is all I can really say bout her.I’m not hate’n just stateing the facts!

  12. Qelz February 1, 2009

    Rihanna can’t sing live or recorded and the only reason why she still has a record deal is because the recorded label can dress her in skimpy leather outfits and make her sing that they can cook up. Rihanna has songs I like, but not because of her vocals. You don’t need any vocal abilities to sing songs like Umbrella (which is my favorite song by her) and that is why I don’t understand why she is so bad. She only has a few songs that require real talent, but that is the record labels point. It is easier to promote a singer who can sing, but who can appeal to the commercial masses than someone who can truly hit a note. I wish Rihanna would lip sync her performances, but she never does.

    I love Rihanna so much.

    we get it sam you dont like her. you dont have to shove it down our throats every post about her. its getting really ridiculous that EVERY post about her is something bad. you are getting as bad as sandra rose bashing barack obama DAILY. and look whats happening to her… she is losing her readers daily because everyone is getting sick of it.

    i love your blog and all but you really need to stop. if you want your blog to be successful (and i know its getting there) then you need to listen to your readers because we are the ones who make this possible.

    im just trying to help

    Last time I checked, this was SAM’S blog so when you own a blog, you are entitled to talk about whatever the hell you want and the Rihanna stans who don’t like what Sam is saying, find another blog to read! Everybody is not gonna be stuck up Rihanna’s wack ass! She’s sucks and everybody knows she sucks. The only reason she still has a deal is because she does whatever her team and label tell her to in order to stay relevent. She’s an artist that’s doing this for the money, she isn’t passionate about her career or else she would put more effort into what she does. Almost four years, and I’m STILL waiting on her to prove me wrong. I’m waiting.. . . Exactly and she still gets NO respect for me because she is NOT a true entertainer. Stans make your own blog dedicated to her wack ass if you’re that offended by somebody actually stating that she sucks, which is the TRUTH.

  16. mike February 1, 2009

    that’s right!
    As much as i hate rihanna for her horribloe vocals, i can’t help but think she did good with the other songs she performed.
    But Disturbia isn’t a song for her. More vocals tricks needed!
    Next to that, she looked S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G!

  17. ^^ loser February 1, 2009

    to the post above ^^^ you are not sticking up for sam, if you was then you wouldnt go on to bash her to death. do us a favour, goo

    @ Missy… Ugh, wrong!

    That Shut Up and Drive choreogaphy is BRAND NEW…you obviously are hating just to hate.

    dead @ yall screaming at Sam like he made Rhianna have a horrific performance.. Rhianna sux, she’s been performing and touring for years now non stop and she has yet to get better. Her vocals are horrific in this video, who cares if her other performances weren’t as bad when they all came from the same night.. This is her career, if all she can do is wear some fancy clothes and a nice haircut then she’s failing at her career!

  20. Anonymous February 1, 2009

    its like the same person is commenting on Sam’s response to her performance. Why when watching a performance do you have to say ‘why not post her other performances’. As a performer you always have to be ready. How can you defend your artist by saying why didn’t you post her better performances. And just because he isn’t a fan of hers doesn’t mean he’s a hater. What is talent to some of you may not be to someone else. It’s subjective. Some people think she’s talented while others don’t. For me personally, I like a performer that will leave me amazed. Someone that will leave me with a lasting impression. Not someone who leaves a lot to be desired or makes me imagine that I can do something better than what they’re doing. To me, that is what Rihanna is doing, and I’m saying this AS a FAN. She has almost everything down pact she just needs to work on her stage presence and her voice. She always plays it safe with her performances and doesn’t go the extra mile and I respect performers who are willing to give their all. Her all is just bobbing her head and walking around. Whatever

    same keep doin ur thing. OOOH SHUT UP STOP TRYNA CUT RIH SLACK. if this was beyonce ya’ll would b ready to say it was the end of her career. rih has been in the game entirely too long to still b giving ASSSSS performances

  22. LeLe February 1, 2009

    Lol Sam you should not listen the stans suckin rihanna’s ass is not what the READERS want . We want u to say what you think about any artist not only Rihanna .

  23. Meme February 1, 2009

    LMFAOOOO, omgsh, that was ovderly entertaining. sam is so right, she does leave a salty taste in ure mouth, people need to stop acting as if this girl can sing, all she is is very good marketing and her stylist deserves every award in the book, lmfao, wow, the fake bad girl image is amazing. but sam, keep ya head up, the ones that are bugged are stans, rihanna is entertaining but in a different way. im laughin at her, not with her. she wud be really hot though, if there was such things as singers that didnt perform, she wud be top in that group.

  24. <3actual singers February 1, 2009

    Sam’s Right she CAN’T SING Is it me or is Sandra Rose making all these RiRi Rocks comments. The girl is pretty as hell she should stay in that pretty girl can’t sing lane.

  25. DOB February 1, 2009

    I still love this song but she ruins it live. As good as she looks, she’s an awful performer. And the sad thing, she’s gotten BETTER in the past three years.

  26. Anonymous February 1, 2009

    Lots of hate toward Sam and Rih Rih. Damn…lots of artists suck live: Madonna, Diana Ross, Britney Spears, but what do they all have in common? They are huge stars! Not because of talent…but because they have THE IT FACTOR! Without it they’d be…well Christina Milian/Keri Hilson…or some s***. Like her vocals or not Sam…Rihanna has the IT FACTOR!

  27. Anonymous February 1, 2009

    dis b**** is wack.period. when will people get it?. most of u ppl defending her only like her because she had a popular song. not rly for whatever talent she has.

  28. Anonymous February 2, 2009

    If she had any talent she would have improved by now. She is a joke. It’s so funny seeing her scrunch her face up like she she’s really hitting high notes, and then she calls herself head banging like a rocker’s she’s not. More like a poser.

    By the way, it’s make no sense that the same people complaining about Sam’s comments keep visiting the blog. What, He’s supposed to hold back his critique to make you feel better? If you don’t like what he says ignore it. It’s his blog he can say whatever he wants to say about artists. You do the same thing in the comment section. Hypocrite much?

  29. Anonymous February 2, 2009

    she has no talent? seems to be doing good to me, the more you lot and bitchin at each other, the more money she making so shut the f*** up LOL. she ain’t gonna care if she s*** live cos she still releasin songs n they hittin it big. so stop bitchin on each other, leave and don’t comment LOL.

    Leave Sam alone!!! Alright he doesn’t like her – and, might i add, there is no law that says he actually has to – but he has to post her because she is ‘relevant’ and most people seem to love her.
    Go Sam!!!

    Sam and many, many, many others are haters then…

    I agree with a lot of you but 7:27 and 7:42 and 10:20 the most.

    She’s cute when the make-up is applied and she is all designer up..

    She knew and she has been at this for a long time so dont make excusses for her..

    Goooo Sam !!! Great Brandy itw!

    Rihanna cant perform, its not hating its a reality. Shes a stiff as a cardboard and does not have a vocal range. I enjoy her songs, their catchy, and commercial. But other than that shes just an image. And its not about Beyonce at all, plenty of other artists could perform circles around her.

    Once white people get over her shell be done though. I wonder what image she can create next.

  34. Anonymous February 3, 2009

    It’s real funny how some of yall bad mouth Sam for his disdain towards Rihanna’s live performance BUT yet, yall continue to come back to his site. If you don’t like Sam and if you don’t like his comments towards Rihanna, then DON’T COME BACK TO HIS SITE!!! Simple as that.

  35. Anonymous February 3, 2009

    I actually believe Rihanna can sing, but she is just not that great of a live performer. She just has a unique sound. You don’t have to yell, screech, howl, or yoddle, to be able to sing. She actually has a nice voice. She just needs to work on moving, dancing, and singing at the same time.
