Watch: Rihanna Rocks Morocco’s Mawazine Festival

Published: Saturday 25th May 2013 by David

Morocco welcomed chart topping Pop sensation Rihanna to its shores last night, when she arrived to perform at the 2013 Mawazine Festival.

Billed as the festival of world music, her time at the event stood as its strongest highlight- days before The Jacksons take to it to perform a collection of their greatest hits.

So, in the event you need a laugh   you’re in the mood for a fresh performance from the singer, we’ve got you covered after the jump…

    • ADMIT IT May 26, 2013

      Rih is stunning and confident and dosen’t feel the need to cancel press from her shows because of pic angles plus she knows it a one off ..unlike your depressed fave looking like she’s in an MMA fight or in a strong Man competition on stage….your fave scared of her own image lol

    I’d rather be Rihanna than some broke Pérez Hilton knockoff Sam. Now get a few giggles from that ya c***!

    • BeyLikeMe May 25, 2013

      KIIII! That was funny but it was too bad you helped Sam get richer when you clicked the headline to make that comment.

    • TaylorTaylorTaylor! May 25, 2013

      The irony of that comment was that Sam just got richer BECAUSE you came here to write it. What kind of backfire.

    • YeaWhatever! May 25, 2013

      Rotfl, and! What’s you two’s point? Like I said, I would rather be Rihanna than a jealous broke man like Sam. If I helped him get 20 more cent off my two comments then so be it. I’m sure he only get 10cent a comment, if that. He will need it if he ever want to reach Rih’s level, bwahahaahahaha!

  9. Lena May 25, 2013

    The stage is not her friend

  10. rihanna is BIGGER THN BEYONCE EVER WAS May 25, 2013

    Beyonce was booked on this festival, whichs plays to 70k. But, they could not sell that out, so they added rihanna as the headliner at the last minute. She sold it out and here you have it.’

    LET US ALL LAUGH AT BEYONCE. 70K is way above her fat old ass.

    • yea it’s her May 25, 2013

      But didn’t Beyonce do Gladsonbury (forgive my spelling if incorrect) for 175k ppl? Or instead of bringing up Beyonce you could comment on Rihanna’s performance and leave it at that?

      • rihanna is BIGGER THN BEYONCE EVER WAS May 25, 2013

        Glasontonbury is why people call, It is the most famous festival in the world. Legends play there. Bowie, U2, ETC. SO, it was not really beyonce, it was glasto’

        Bottom line, thsi festival in North africa, needed a big name to sell 70k and beyonce failed to do so. They added rihanna as teh headliner,with beyonce as the support act and it sold out. Beyonce, in jealousy dropped out. Imagine being teh support act to your ‘ understudy ‘

      • yea it’s her May 25, 2013

        Okkkkk but isn’t Beyonce headlining a festival today with 65k ppl which is sold out?

      • Lolz May 25, 2013

        And Beyonces day at any festival always sells out faster than the other headliners though. Explain why?

      • truth(icki’s B**** ASS STANS can EAT ME honey!! Yall b**** is a STANK P**** FLOP chile! (puckers lips like Drake)) May 25, 2013

        @rhinanna honey are u really as stupid as u sound?? Omg!! Girl u r BEYOND delusional! kill yoself.

    • Lolz May 25, 2013

      Dumbass Beyonce sold out rock in Rio, V fest and Glastonbury to name a few, DO NOT tell me she cant sell out a festival. And shes playing in Poland tonight that’s why dumb f***.

    • king b May 25, 2013

      B**** shut ur mouth Beyonce is playing a stadium in Pologne for the orange festival where she got offered way more money that it the biggest festival are in EUROPE and she done them all

    • Sisqo’s new album is coming!! “Last Dragon” 2013 May 25, 2013

      Yes!!! wrinkle flop ora

  11. Thando May 25, 2013

    This girl is so horrible LIVE it staggers the mind, my goodness. How on earth would anyone pay to watch this musical garbage. She cannot sing live, awful pitch neither can she dance and her stage presence and crowd relationship is deplorable.

  12. 50/50 May 25, 2013

    mhh. should i lie and say it’s good or i care in general? *shrugs*

  13. S* May 25, 2013

    Thank god no nasty dance moves, cause Morocco is a muslim country.
    Good work Rih !!

  14. Shauwndapooh May 25, 2013

    Only rihanna QUEEN!!!!!

  15. Xocio May 25, 2013

    SAM YOUR HATE FOR RIHANNA IS ALL CONSUMING AND BEYOND PATHETIC, she never pays you NO MIND, and she has had good/bad relationships with other BLOGGERS, why don’t you go and BEG BEYHOE for an interview, oh wait she also DOESN’T GIVE A FUG ABOUT YOU…….POOR YOU

    • Teah May 25, 2013

      OMFG! If anyone is pathetic its RihHOE because she looks like a drunken slob on stage. Idk how you can’t talk about Beyonce not giving a f*** about people when Rihanna doesn’t even have enough decency to give her fans a good performance. And don’t act like Rihanna doesn’t have good/bad relationships with other bloggers either because she does. She even has bad relationships with a few of her peers. Say what you want about Sam and Beyonce but the fact of the matter is, his love for Beyonce and hate for Rihanna is what has you Navy stans coming to this site. He always hates on her yet and still you take part in commenting, and keep Beyonce’s name in your mouths. That’s what Sam wants and you don’t even realize it SMDH. So don’t feel sorry for Sam, feel sorry for your self. Because he’s getting paid for defending his fave and shading yours. Funny part is, you keep coming back for more *face hits palm*

  16. DaBestest May 25, 2013

    Get off RiRi’s d***. She is a bad b**** who could give a f*** what yall hatin ass b****** think. Y the f*** is everyone pulling Bey out their ass 4 bcuz Ri makes lots of money 4 the Carter empire so Im sure there is no beef btwn them

  17. lilmamastan May 25, 2013

    I wouldn’t buy a rihanna ticket show or attend any festival she headlines. Congratulations to her though, she may be one of the hottest musician right now but she can’t perform.

  18. EmancipationOfBeautiful May 25, 2013

    People pay to see her live?

  19. ghassane ghf May 25, 2013

    she was lip-syncing …. and still BAD … btw Beyonce was booked thats why she didnt come

  20. rihking May 25, 2013

    KING RIHANNA>>>PEASANTONCE

    • . : : h 2 o : : . May 25, 2013

      65M albums > 29M albums.

  21. bella May 25, 2013

    Lmao beyonce was f****** booked that’s why is didn’t attend the festival so she told jayz to give it to rihanna since the’re both managed by roc nation smh…. And please tell me when/who did rihanna make 45million only in the us with her diamond tour ? Pls post the muthafucking receipts yes that’s right show me the car facts !!!! I can’t stand the b****** from the salvation army opps I mean the navy

    • . : : h 2 o : : . May 25, 2013

      32 million tops lol

      • Likica May 25, 2013

        So 32 million is bad from 31 shows? Didn’t I Am Tour gross like 1.1 million per show, 119.5 from 108 shows? If 32 million is lol or flop, than I Am.. Tour must be one as well^^

      • . : : h 2 o : : . May 25, 2013

        ^^ I didn’t say it was bad, Sybil is claiming 45M.

      • Lolz May 25, 2013

        And LOUD must be even more of a triple flop since it Grossed LESS than the number of shows and I AM Tour grossed more than the number of shows.

      • Likica May 25, 2013

        Loud was more an arena tour while most of money from I Am Tour came from Brazil and festivals than Beyonce did there, so it is not surprising. That will be the case with Diamonds World Tour, Rihanna will gross most money from stadiums and festivals. 😉

      • Lolz May 25, 2013

        Um but Rihanna had money from festivals like V aswell during LOUD so try again.

      • Likica May 25, 2013

        Not true. Most of her money came from arenas she did in the Uk (The O2, 10 x in a row). She didn’t do stadiums and big festivals. The tour was successful and it earned just 27$ from the USA shows. Diamonds Tour is doing so much better than Loud Tour in the USA so she will top those 100$ this time. I’m not trying anything, you shoould stop downplaying everything Rihanna does.

      • Lolz May 25, 2013

        Im not downplaying because Im not talking about Diamonds tour Im talking about LOUD since you decided to drag Beyonces I AM tour into it. Of course Diamonds will do well because she has loads of dates and chose to do stadiums aswell. But the same goes for Beyoncé I AM tour as Rihannas LOUD since they were both arena tours that were also part of festivals. Why is it any different?

    • ADMIT IT May 26, 2013

      B****, find the receipts no one have to please your ass….You so mad Rih is winning lol. stop counting her coins she good.

  22. bella May 25, 2013

    Sorry for the typos I meant *she* @H20 lmao I think her tour will gross $80.00 plus worldwide kiiiiii

    • Likica May 25, 2013

      Nope, she will cross 100 million $ this time. If she made 90$ from Loud Tour, she will do it with this one too.

      The Top 20 Concert Tours ranks artists by average box office gross per city and includes the average ticket price for shows in North America. The previous week’s ranking is in parentheses. The list is based on data provided to the trade publication Pollstar by concert promoters and venue managers.

      TOP 20 CONCERT TOURS

      1. (1) Taylor Swift; $1,766,850; $81.34.

      2. (2) Bon Jovi; $1,741,784; $96.53.

      3. (3) George Strait; $1,447,682; $83.42.

      4. (4) Kenny Chesney; $1,351,694; $76.67.

      5. (5) Pink; $1,087,880; $76.84.

      6. (6) Maroon 5; $906,465; $67.20.

      7. (7) The Who; $836,328; $96.46.

      8. (8) Ricardo Arjona; $750,878; $88.19.

      9. (9) Muse; $523,809; $56.23.

      10. (New) Leonard Cohen; $499,280; $113.63.

      Rihanna earned 1.03 million $ per show in the USA, so her tour is among most successful tours in America and we know that the Usa is her weakest market. She will get bigger numbers in Europe.

  23. Lolz May 25, 2013

    Death at her lipping and still being bad.

    • . : : h 2 o : : . May 25, 2013

      It’s beyond me.

    • ADMIT IT May 26, 2013

      Then dig a grave stupid 🙂

  24. Lolz May 25, 2013

    This Sybil person is so dumb trying to make out Beyonce cant sell out feativals when shes sold out rock in Rio, V fest and Glastonbury to name a few, in a matter of minutes. DO NOT tell me she cant sell out a festival. Shes done more festivals than Rihanna. Aed actually HEADLINED at all of them. And shes playing in Poland tonight that’s why dumb f***.

  25. Lolz May 25, 2013

    Rihanna was second choice sorry Sybil.

  26. DaBestest May 25, 2013

    Please tell me y every Bey stan is dragging Ri thru the mud when she is Beyonce’s husband top money making artst on his record label? Bey is the queen but her minions r so far up her ass that they blindly hate on someone who adds to her marital bank acct. SMDH

  27. Lovebird May 25, 2013

    AAAAAHHHHHHH she slayed the Pour it up performance. Video now please.

  28. Lovebird May 25, 2013

    Umbrella ella ella eh eh eh. TIMELESS CLASSIC, Go Riri.

  29. Katy Kat May 25, 2013

    So boring

  30. Jas May 25, 2013

    The Salvation Army a.k.a The Navy deserve to be slapped with a bag of nickels. Don’t try to bring Beyonce, who can actually back her s*** up with talent, just because your fave is a horrible performer. Idc how many hits that b**** has she’s an entertainer. Therefore, I expect her to be able to get her ass on that stage and entertain WELL. But she can’t even do that, that’s why I’ll never respect Rihanna as an entertainer. She’s merely a studio artist who isn’t capable of doing what matters most, put on a good show.

    • Lovebird May 25, 2013

      Beyonce lip syncs though, especially at events where she’s intimidated by Kelly Clarkson’s talent.

      • Loyalty May 25, 2013

        And so does Rihanna. She doesn’t even have a great reason too, neither her songs or chroeo are exactly challenging.

      • Jas May 25, 2013

        At least Beyonce doesn’t need to lip syncing. Rihanna getting her ass whopped by Chris Brown>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rihanna’s live vocals

      • Jas May 25, 2013

        At least Beyonce doesn’t need to lip sync. Rihanna getting her ass whopped by Chris Brown >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rihanna’s live vocals

      • Teah May 25, 2013

        Well if intimidation is all it takes to get someone to lip sync then where the hell is Chris Brown? Because this b**** sucks live.

    • Rihanna killed beyho’s career May 25, 2013

      Bytch we could give a f*** if BeUglyonce was a better performer or not. Rihanna is still that bytch and if she wasn’t good live people wouldn’t want to have her perform or pay to see her. She would be struggling for hits and tour like Ci-Error. Don’t even try it

  31. POP ROYALTY (Bohemian Grove) May 25, 2013

    Like this comment if you think this post is to shade me.

    she was ok.

    • Lovebird May 25, 2013

      Wait a minute, you actually read Samantha’s posts??? I don’t, well not anymore.

  32. TheTruth May 25, 2013

    Navy please don’t bring Beyonce into the failings of Rihanna on a stage. Beyonce Can sing, Can dance And is one of the most celebrated live artists around can you say the same? Like Beyonce said ” i walk like this because i can back it up”

    • ADMIT IT May 26, 2013

  35. Sisqo’s new album is coming!! “Last Dragon” 2013 May 25, 2013

    LMAO!! The Byeonce stans where just hyping up her snippets over Youtube views while Rihanna snatching wigs on the hot 100. They think that’s better than Rihanna’s Pour it Up, Diamonds, Love Songs, Stay!! I’m rolling right now. They are completely delusional. In order for her snippets to slay it has to chart. Youtibe views though

    I don’t see any hype with this old t***** Wigyonce. She has a sold out tour but what else? Rihanna is slaying this bytch with ballads, sold out tour, soul out clothing line, Un sold 3 mill WW, sold out lipstick..In the next 5 years Rihanna will surpass BeUglyonce. The HIVS are just scared.

    • Jewell May 25, 2013

      Sisqo though?
