Watch: Rihanna Performs At BRIT Awards 2012

Published: Tuesday 21st Feb 2012 by David

In need of a cheap thrill?

If so, peep Rihanna‘s set at the BRIT Awards 2012 tonight.

What are you waiting for?! Watch and weigh in below…

Sam’s 2 Pence:

When will the madness end? Ms. Fenty sounded like a goat swinging on a ceiling fan.

That said, much like her Grammy’s showing, she gets an “A” for effort – even if the overall performance was a “D”.

Your thoughts?

    I have to agree Sam. The worst performance of the night.

  2. Dev February 21, 2012

    It was the same rehashed performance as all the other award shows basically. She sounded alright (o like she usually does) but its evident that she cant sing the high notes. It would’ve been better if switched it up a bit

    “That said, much like her Grammy’s showing, she gets an “A” for effort – even if the overall performance was a “D” ”

    ahahahah you’re right!

  4. T February 21, 2012

    Awesome as always. I have a soft spot in my heart for Rihanna no matter what.

  5. Just A Thought February 21, 2012

    In my opinion, this song has LONG worn out its welcome. Can she perform something else, please?

  6. CMONGUYSTHISWASAIGHT February 21, 2012

    I actually thought this was pretty good i think this shows growth she dances now which is good she still sings live and sounds ok shes getting there

  7. QUEEN MARIAH>>>>>> February 21, 2012

    Rihanna is a basic live performer and that’s just the way it is….

    Deal with it

    No matther what she does she will never be good enough for ThatGrapeJuice. Either she’s not dancing enough for you or she’s not singing live. You will do anything to tear her down. She’s not the best live singer and no one says she is. Her performance didn’t start out so well but it ended well and it got the people up out of their seats so I say she did a good job. She’s here to make people happy with music and she did just that.

  9. Von February 21, 2012

    It was OK. But I Wasn’t That Impressed. Lol

    D? uhm she sang LIVE and sounded great, plus she incorporated some choreography. samantha, you mad bey & nicki didnt take home any awards? while rihanna did. solid B-, thatshitjuice, everyone has opinions about others, but when you keep shading the person over and over again, that s*** gets annoying and your just screaming for attention. you give nicki and bey fans a BAD name. bye b****.

  13. NANA YAW February 21, 2012

    I just can’t live without this site.

  14. juanito2628 February 21, 2012

    i mean she sounded alright, cause we all know (even the fans) she isnt best LIVE sing.

  15. Aunt Jackie February 21, 2012

    Same s***, different day. If you like her, you’ll love it. If you like on-key singing and had working, lucid bish performing on stage, you won’t.

  16. therealest February 21, 2012

    i dont give a f***. i loved it and i aint even a fan. Love birthday cake FEAT CB too.

  17. Sweetnothings78 February 21, 2012

    Best part of this was sam’s write up,,,, lol always makes me laugh when it comes to ‘miss fenty and her microwave pop music’.

    I like rihanna but Sam ur to funny.
    Thatgrapejuice is the dogs bollocks love it!

  18. Olly Murrs February 21, 2012

    You are wrong. Olly Murrs and Blur were by far the worst performances tonight. By. Far!

  19. commanderofthedancefloor February 21, 2012

    i like it almost as good as her grammy performance!!! the same people who don’t like the performance somehow seem to be the same people on every rihanan post bashing her, ie haters!!! funny how that works!

  20. WarrenPeace February 21, 2012

    Dear Rihanna,

    Please stop smoking before every performance… I know you like the way it makes your voice raspy, but why choose a decent voice over rasp… Adele must have been dying in the audience.

  21. xd February 21, 2012

    So far the best performance of the night!

  22. Mild February 21, 2012

    she did much better than the grammys, it was put together and not sleazy!

  23. !!!!!!!!! February 21, 2012

    I was more interested in her acceptance speech and Lana Del Rays for that matter. Those two girls seemed very public and personal with their speeches.

  24. Fenty has Zero Class February 21, 2012

    She sounded bad, but looked s*** and wore hot pants so its cool. But can I just say her little speech about her fans making her feel accepted when she is misunderstood mad me LMAO!!!!!!!!!! Funny how she’s always misunderstood whenever one of her PR stunts goes wrong!!!!!

  25. oh baby(b****** will deal) February 21, 2012

    WACK!,but she is getting better especially in the dancing area HOWEVER MAJOR vocal lessons still needed though(or atleast i can stand her a bit more now and not only on mute like before,i actually put a little volume on) I wanna see that birthday cake perfomance though!

  26. Dev February 21, 2012

    I never understand. Why are people always on here talking bout “she didd good” or “she’s getting there” 5 albums later! Artist development should start prior to recording an album and not on the 5th one, and when these comments are highlighted people a screeching that people are hating. Rihanna has worldwide success due to being forced down our necks every year but doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
    Face it, the performance was okay but for her it should’ve been much better.

    QUEEN

  28. Lax February 21, 2012

    @ALL Who Complains if they was hanged with a new rope
    about what and how Rihanna does things. She must be doing
    good enough for the Brits because she keeps right on getting
    invited while others names are left off their list. And to ice the
    cake she Won Herself another Award, International Artist Award
    Who’s mad? i’m not!

  29. Lax February 21, 2012

    At the end of this day Rihanna
    have got another accolade to
    add to her collection, haven’t she?

  30. TomUK February 21, 2012

    When she promised a ‘dirty set’, I was kinda waiting for Chris Brown to come out so they could f*** on stage. She certainly is a filthy gyal!

  31. Team Breezy February 21, 2012

    BOSS B****!

  32. TruthTeller February 21, 2012

    Horrid performance!

  33. Cockiness February 21, 2012

    i swear these people always dissing Rihanna, you never see them on any other post. Its like they just sit at home and wait till they see a post about Rihanna and start hatin

    GET A F***** LIFE WHY DON’T YOU

  34. nicoyuki February 21, 2012

    I would rather see rihanna do the same song then to see Nicki minaj make a lot if dumb faces, stupid sounds and half ass dance.

  35. Black Madonna February 21, 2012

    SLAYED.. YES RHI RHI. SHE WAS GIVING ME ALL TYPES OF NEW LIFE MY DEAR

  36. Lax February 21, 2012

    I know Adele was feeling like a Sunday School Teacher
    When Rih Hit the stage in them Daisy Dukes and them Timbos!

  37. Aunt Jackie February 21, 2012

    @ LAX

    I’m sorry but that ‘Sunday School’ teacher comment was funny as hail!

  38. whyohwhy February 21, 2012

    What singing? this only shows Rihanna is not a singer. When she was suppose to come in and sing she did not, it’s more music than singing. She cant do both at the same time as usual her Rihanna Navy freaks see talent and great dancing.. Y’al are the reason why she did the song with Chris cause no matter what you dummies will buy it… She sounded terrible cause at the end the backtracking took over as usual…. Same thang a different day…BORING!

  39. MichaelAngelo February 21, 2012

    Like it or not, Rihanna isn’t the best singer but she has a tone that NOBODY can match.

  40. ThankMeLater February 21, 2012

    SMFH. her voice was like a dying goat.

  41. KC February 21, 2012

    Did she mean to say brits 2012 not 2010 lol, and home girl really can’t dance. But I the performance was iight.

  42. Yellow Gorillah February 21, 2012

    OK

    Can we she please stop with he WFL performances that is the ONLY song she has performed this era!! What happened to TALK THAT TALK?? I hope cake aint taking it’s spot because that s*** would flop! I need a TALK THAT TALK performance asap or she can go straight to WHUB!

    #beEpic

  44. Beck February 21, 2012

  45. Onyx February 21, 2012

    People always hating, go RiRi.

  46. Xavier February 21, 2012

    I mean… she’s sounded worse #justsaying

    She’s showing improvement.. not flawless though.. disliked the outfit.

  47. Baaaaaaaa February 21, 2012

  49. NICK February 21, 2012

    awww this was cute honey-YES LOVED IT!!!!!

  50. Jay February 21, 2012

    I like her voice at the beginning of the second verse. She should work on that side of her voice. It didn’t sound thin and whiny as usual.

    Though not a great singer, I think Rihanna can sing and needs to focus on her vocals more.

  51. KatyCat February 21, 2012

    Meh. Not her worse, but not her best. She should try promoting YDO

  52. Jordan February 22, 2012

    That was pretty awesome.

  53. Saetana February 22, 2012

    I actually thought this was better than the Grammys, so far as the vocal parts she sang live are concerned at least, I didn’t feel the need to put my fingers in my ears this time. She seems to have a problem moving from her comfort zone vocally to both higher and lower notes but it was nowhere near as obvious here as it was at the Grammys. I didn’t like the production number as much as the Grammys as I felt there was far too much going on and it detracted attention from Rihanna, but her dancing is definitely coming on and you can’t fault her attitude – oh wait, this is TGJ and they will fault her whatever she does.

  54. aishaaguilerakeys February 22, 2012

    She’s starting to improve on her dancing and singing but that performance was all over the place.

    ” Ms. Fenty sounded like a goat swinging on a ceiling fan.” LOL, Sam! Actually, I think her singing has improved a bit, as well as her dancing. But there were too many people and they were all over the place.

  55. Troybenz February 22, 2012

    I always love to see rihanna perform this song haha i took a couple of days but i like her blond her now

  56. Mel February 22, 2012

    lol I thought @YELLOW GORILLAH was done staning for Rihanna?
    I knew these weak ass fans was faking

    Imma need Sam to stop
    This performance was amazing, a lot better then the grammys

  57. COOKIE – DIVAS – TONI BRAXTON, RIHANNA February 22, 2012

    Rihanna is the reason! Stay mad, she rocked that stage like no other. I want her to perform WFL acoustic, with her amazing voice!

  58. Lax February 22, 2012

    BAWSE LADY!!!!!!

  59. Lax February 22, 2012

    She have never tried to convince people that she’s the best of
    the best and she is still in that giant melting pot of stars. If her
    singing isn’t good enough for you then find the one you like and
    leave Rihanna to those who can love her faults and all. When you
    think about it there’s many artist who have got all of the great qualities
    that many like then why not stick to them like glue and leave Rihanna’s
    to those who love and support her, simple as that!

  60. mobwife February 22, 2012

    I’m gonna need Rihanna to stop trying to play wih her voice. Whitney mastered that trick. I would like for to stay within her range like she did on GGGB it just works better for her IMO!

  61. Saetana February 22, 2012

    @MOBWIFE

    Agreed, she sounded fine when she was in her comfortable range (chest voice?), she needs to stop trying to stretch her voice so much when singing live. If she wants to do that then she needs to work on it when she is not performing to improve her technique ;o)

  62. Always love you, Whitney (RIP) February 22, 2012

    I was scared that her singing would go flat or pitchy but it wasn’t that bad. I like the new choreography thrown into we found love since the grammys.

  63. R****** Navy Fails Again!! February 22, 2012

    Horrible Performance!! Absolutely dreadful!! Then again that’s what we have come to expect from this classless island s***!! She can’t hold a note live to save her life & her dancing is just laughable!! How the f*** does a chick from the damn islands not know how to dance?! She’s an embarrassment to her people! SMH!

    LMAO at people asking why forehead won’t perform another single. What other single does she have to perform!?! ‘You Da One’ FLOPPED & ‘Talk That Talk’ FLOPPED even worse! It’s my even in the top 100 on iTunes!! Jay Z couldnt even Save her!! Bwhahahahaha!! She can’t perform any other songs because she doesn’t have any!! ‘WFL’ is her ONLY hit from that HORRIBLE ‘Talk That Flop’ album! If she performed anything else people would be confused because they wouldn’t know what the hell she was singing! Bwhahahahahaha! ‘Talk That Talk’ era is such a FAIL!! Bwhahahhahaa!!

    Why do you think she did that song with Chris?!? Because BOTH her follow up singles FLOPPED! Hard!! She NEEDED Chris to help her get some buzz so people will buy her FLOP album!! She’s so desperate she had to crawl back to her ex boyfriend who beat her ass to get a hit!! She’s pathetic!! I bet she offered him s** to get him to be on her song! Bwhahahahahahaha!!

    Always remember Beyonce is the QUEEN and Rihfund is just a BASIC wannabe!! Bwhahahahahahaha!

  64. NIKI February 23, 2012

    BEYONCE DIDN’T HAVE NO HITS TO PERFORM AT ALL.BEYONCE ISN’T DOING SHYT.HER CD IS DEAD.4 CAME OUT WAY BEFORE TTT AND 4 ONLY SOLD 2 MILLION.
