  12. Cookie – Rihanna, Toni Braxton September 22, 2012

  13. TheTruth September 22, 2012

    This performance was tragic sorry rihanna is just on a slippery slope.

    • toohotfortv September 22, 2012

      I knoooowwww, right? I need to get to the gym. dammit man!

  16. Miguel September 22, 2012

    I LOVE RIHANNA, LOVE THAT S*** TONE OF VOICE OF HERS…

    BUT…

    This concert wasn’t all there.
    What’s wrong with her? She can’t even finish a sentence without handing it over the backup vocals. And it’s not like she needs to catch her breath from dancing, she just does some moves here and there. Not even the opening song could she sing in full, and she was barely moving!

  17. Benron (King Of The Navy) September 22, 2012

    She sounded horrible and sang like 2 words in Japan.

    Im on S&M and it seems like an improvement everywhere except her dancing, she is unbeleivebly stiff. Nice lights and dancers and her vocals are not bad. I’ll continue watching.

  18. Belladonna September 22, 2012

    I liked when she did Only Girl,Where have you Been,What’s My Name & We Found Love. I think she did Ok. I can’t wait until her new song Comes out! I know it’s going to be AMAZING!

  19. Benron (King Of The Navy) September 22, 2012

    I think he dress is to tight around her waist and its consrticting her usual butterfly + wine combo. She is doing well, She needs more energy though.

  20. King B September 22, 2012

    Rihanna is hardworker! and she co-wrote on TTT album.. 6 song of 14 ..and i’ts good! who cares if is she producer or not.. people looking only for music 😀 and her music is good

  21. massive fan of talent September 22, 2012

    I wish I knew what it is like to be disappointed in my fav artist performances overtime and trying to justify why it is bad. I guess o would never know cause I am a fan of artist who have talent and respect their fans enough to grow and give their fans their all.
    I don’t get it for rihanna at all she hardly sings a complete sentence never dances well. Vocals are always a mess. At least Madonna had showmanship. To me rihanna has nothing: no stage presence; no vocal and singing talent no showmanship.

  22. Angel987 (BEYONCÉ STAN) September 22, 2012

    Rihanna has AMAZING songs but her performances never live up to them.

  23. Honey CHILD please September 22, 2012

    Night of the living dead up in that b****! Red bull anyone?? Rihanna sweety that was not it HONEY CHILD. No shade but sweety time to let them weed sessions go, and step it up boo boo!!!

  24. WaitUrTurn88 September 22, 2012

    SHE WAS THE FINAL ACT AT 245 AM !!!….HER JERSEY WAS TO SHORT FOR HER TO DANCE LIKE SHE USUALLY DO OR U WOULD HAVE SAW HER ASS…..SHE WAS TIRED, ILL ADMIT IT…….BUT OVERALL IT WASNT BAD…….I AM A RIHANNA FAN, SO I KNOW HER POTENTIAL AND WHAT SHE CAN DO!…..WHEN SHES ON, HER VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL!!……I THINK SHES GOING FOR A S*** TOMBOY LOOK THIS ERA AND I DONT MIND IT…..I AM GONNA BE ON THIS NAVY SHIP FOR A LONG TIME, CAUSE I AM A REAL FAN!! LUV U RIRI, UR JOURNEY IS JUST BEGINNING!!

  25. Darren September 22, 2012

    I would rather watch britney spears lip sync an entire show than listen to that horrible nose singer.

    • IM BEYAWNCE’S SURROGATE…I GAVE BIRTH TO HER CAMEL!! September 22, 2012

      Well go watch britney i have no talent spears!! Rihanna would sing circles around crazy spears u f** cracka!!!

    • Benron (King Of The Navy) September 22, 2012

      You hate noses huh, but what does britney sing through?

  26. JOHNVIDAL September 22, 2012

    She´s lucky she looks good… LOL omg

  27. Monstarebel September 22, 2012

    I liked!!!>

  28. mkigz September 22, 2012

    This concert was defo not Riri’s best – and the crowd didnt help either. Here’s what I thought of the performances:

    Only Girl – was good and wasnt a bad entrance
    Disturbia – gets a thumbs down, vocally this wasnt the performance
    S&M – was ok but it seemed like that jersey restricted some of her moveens
    Cockiness – was good and Rihanna had swag throughout
    Cake – the backup dancers were doing some serious grooving, Rihanna was ok
    TTT – towards the end is when Ri started to sing well
    WHYB – One of the better performances vocally overall
    WMN- Very good
    LYL – was ok
    DSTM – got the crowd moving, and Rihanna was at least dancing better
    Umbrella – would have been better if it was the acoustic version,
    WFL -the crowd seemed to be feeling the song
    Should have performed: Hard, Rude Boy & at least one midtempo/ballad.
    My fave performances: Cockiness, TTT & Cake.

    Overall Vocal Performance: 5/10 – she tried in parts but not completing lines of a song, as if she’s “breathless” really irritated me. And why is it that the crowd were predominantly white? I guess that’s the target market lol.
    I love Riri but I need her to put on a better show herself – everything else was on point except her in places.

    • mkigz September 22, 2012

      movements* under the S&M part

  29. number1k9 September 22, 2012

    Her set list was great minus “S&M” don’t liek that song, got too annoying.

    Wish she was on for an hour+! ! ! SHe has the hits. I was amped and had fun watching her via stream!

  30. TheChosen1 September 22, 2012

    MaRihanna Lmao this chick is like the honey boo boo of POP! Please go away take vocal training get a new publicist and maybe return * pulls chair out from under the table

  31. whyohwhy September 22, 2012

    She was HIGH!!!! at Hackney and you stans know it. The crowd can only give what they get from the artist and Rihanna was her typical no talent, boring self. Let’s keep it real her dancing and singing dont mix, that requires something she dont have, TALENT!!!!!!! Rihanna is all looks and nice beats get over it, fast.. She is getting ready to come out with a studio laced with technology song that will have more beats than the rest to cover up what she is doing, nothing. Them veins in her neck is going to pop out.

  32. An0thrNight272 September 22, 2012

    Great songs, disasterous performances… *sigh* Beyonce needs to hurry up and come back, Lady Gaga needs to hurry up and come back – ciara needs to bring it and book a stage like this b/c she’d put Riri to #shame

    I love rihanna’s songs but I would think after all these years and opportunities she’d be an artist who couldnt be reckoned with..

  33. S****** Blonde September 22, 2012

    She’s so hot.

  34. Honey CHILD please September 22, 2012

    Damn rih honey bun you done went down. light the deep south on us. I’m not shading miss rih rih but darling that stock has fallen into a great depression. Honey child look like a black justin bieber circa 2010. Miss rih rih honey boo i’mma need you to deliver that brain some oxygen, because some of those cells is dying they is dying honey, along with your big star in the dark wesley skies that use to shine so bright honey. Honey vodo please stop serving the c*** fillet on a plate, and serve us up an album worthy of being number 1.

    • Honey CHILD please September 22, 2012

      down like the deep south…(CORRECTION)

  35. JER September 22, 2012

    Rihanna did great. She always serves rockstar realness. The setlist however was messy. The opening was bad and I am not here for her half singing songs. Gtfo. Anyway, as usual Rihanna started weak and only sounded better and did better as the performances went on. Rihanna. GURLFRIEND. You need to work on starting your performances better.

    I love Rihanna, but she does need a lil bit mo energy. The Crowd looked like they were bored. But I love that dancing in the performance, her choreography deserves a lot of credit for those styles of dancing.

  38. Marcus September 23, 2012

    Wack. Get yo life!

  39. EWWCELEBZ September 24, 2012

    RIhanna is one of the most disgusting artists out there right now! Could someone please take this girl to church and teach he how to act like a lady. Poor girl’s mama! God know what kind of diseases this girl has. The way she flaunting her junk up on stage! I know she gotta be messing wit trashy lowlife cuz i know the good men don’t wanna be messing wit that! Would she just overdose already? Ain’t nobody gon want to remember her except for when she got the crap beaten out of her everything else she did made her look like a prostitute and everyone knows they are forgettable.

  40. JOY September 25, 2012

    You guys have to remember; that this is the last performance of the night. This audience has been thru tons of performers and are just tired. I agree she should’ve had more energy. But artists feed off of the crowd as a performer myslef, I know this. Its hard for one artists to get that many people hyped on their own. I think she did fine, under all that pressure. Stop hating on the poor girl, she just trying to do her thing.

  41. FantasyGirl January 29, 2013

    I’m not really a fan of Rihanna’s but I thought she did a good job given the low energy level of the crowd. Imagine stepping onto a stage as the last act of the night around 3am and facing a crowd that acts as if they’re interested at gawking at you but overall, don’t sing and dance as you, a singer, perform. Wouldn’t you find that a a bit daunting and a somewhat of a downer? Now, imagine stepping onstage to a crowd that’s absolutely PUMPED UP about seeing you perform! They’re all singing along with you, dancing their butts off, and clearly loving the music.

    Which crowd would you respond to the most? Which crowd would get YOU pumped up and excited about performing because you knew that everyone there was a fan of yours and was there to see YOU, not just to finish out the concert night?

    Given the response level of the crowd I’m not too surprised that her own energy level was a bit low. Rihanna herself even made reference to the crowd’s lack of energy:

    “Las Vegas, ya’ll a little too quiet for me. Ya’ll a little too quiet for my preference.”
    “iHeart Radio, ya’ll now warming up?”
    “Ya’ll feel alright? Not too tired?”
    “I need ya’ll to turn up real quick, it’s my last song.”

    The most energetic audience members were the girls that she let sing a couple of words to Umbrella. The FIRST audience group that is; the second group on the other side of the stage didn’t even act as if they knew the words to the song (explaining why she didn’t give anyone the microphone). And what was up with that woman not even dancing to the beat? I had to laugh at that.

    Anyway, in my opinion, she gave a good performance under the circumstances. And even though I’m not a big fan (nothing against her, I just tend to listen to other types of music), it was clear to me that she has singing talent. I even purchased the m** of Only Girl!
