Rihanna Kicks Off ‘ANTI World Tour’ / How Did She Sound?

Published: Sunday 13th Mar 2016 by Sam

After a slew of postponements and push-backs, Rihanna finally launched her ‘ANTI World Tour’ in Jacksonville, Florida last night.

The Bajan sensation has much to make up to fans following the rockiest of roll-out’s for the trek and its housing album ‘ANTI.’

Hoping to right the well-documented wrongs, the 28-year-old journyed through smashes such as ‘Diamonds’ and ‘Umbrella,’ as well as tackling newer numbers ala ‘Work’ and ‘Kiss It Better.’

Per the array of costumes, the production is unsurprisingly pleasing to the eye. What about the ear, though? Find out below…

Sadly, Rih once again sounded like struggle and stress, case in point the footage below.

 It’s shocking that she’s still being allowed (by both her team and the public) to phone in these performances.

Truth be told, there’d be little to harp on about if what she exhibits was the length and breadth of her ability. Yet, next to never does it ever feel like she’s turning in her heartiest effort.

Instead, it seems like a matter of “lemme give one lazy whine and a lazier vocal and punch right on to the next city.”

Said mindset is wack and, by the looks of it, so too is this tour.

      Rihanna fans are TRYING IT ???? “Soldout” lol Reciepts please! She will never cause a FRENZY! And I can’t wait for the industry critics to release their Press on the showings! ?? now that shade will fill an entire Arena! ??

      • Jemina Nelson March 13, 2016

        NEITHER WILL BEYONCE. I NOTICED THAT THE ARENAS AND STADIUMS FOR RIHANNA ARE FULL, DESPITE THE STINKING H** REPORTING AS IF THEY ARE CNN. 😉 JUST LOG ON TO THE ANTI TOUR REVIEW SITE, AND YOU WILL GET RECIEPTS B****!

      • Rory March 13, 2016

        That show was sold out. The Arena said it was. It sold out the day before

    • The Truth March 13, 2016

      Even Rihanna refered to her album as S***

  2. Arfa March 13, 2016

    Model with a mic

    • Jemina Nelson March 13, 2016

      SAM, YOU SORRY PIECE OF S***! STOP UPLOADING THESE POOR ASS VIDEOS, OF RIHANNA’S ANTI TOUR. BITTER B****! YOUTUBERS ARE SHOWING YOU UP BOO. 😀

  3. Rashida March 13, 2016

    Sold out and slayed. I cant wait to see her

    • Nakiah March 13, 2016

      Ticketmaster says otherwise ? wasnt sold out Kiii

    • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

      The concert was not sold out. They were selling tickets to the Jacksonville concerts for $1 on craigslist yesterday and folks still weren’t buying them! No lie!

      • coockiness March 13, 2016

        u dumb b****, if i buy a ticket for lets say beyonce’s formation tour and then after buying the ticket is sold out. if i then go on “craigslist” and try to sell the ticket, does that mean the concert wasn’t sold out?

        And when you go on ticket master the show was sold out so stop lying or post some screen shots to back up what you say.

        you guys get away at lying too damn much but never have any proof of your claims.

      • Rory March 13, 2016

        If the ticket is available on Craigslist, that means that the ticket is already sold. Lol…… Similar to you selling something on eBay.

  4. gilbert March 13, 2016

    Honestly, she sounded decent. I was expecting her vocals to be worse but she surprised me. The tour look pretty lit, the crowd made it lit to be honest. I’m not a fan of the stage production but overall the tour looks alright. I’ll give credit where it’s due 🙂

    • Cough Cough March 13, 2016

      Your standards are low bro. If that was an unknown person “lit” and decent would not be words you used to describe that. It’s below average

      • gilbert March 13, 2016

        i’m comparing her with her previous shows and performances. So logically speaking, using the terms decent and lit for “rihanna standards” would be acceptable. i stan for Beyonce, the one and only queen of live performances, so my standards for artists who perform live is wayyyy up there. But because this is a Rihanna post, i’m strictly talking about her and comparing it with her previous shows. don’t be bitter 🙂

  5. Surprise..(DEC 2013) March 13, 2016

    This girl needs to work on her dancing and quit doing this 12 step moves!!! For a non-postponed arena date, the stage look decent, kinda like her D.W.T stage. The singing is the same old old, CUTE AND STRUGGLING at the same time.

  6. Nakiah March 13, 2016

    Downsized to a 15k arena and it still wasnt sold out Kiii and she lying about it being sold out. My fave would never lie

    • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

      She’s always lying. Her tour is far from sold out

    • Annalise March 13, 2016

      KIIIII and it was originally a 60K Stadium!! LMAO if Madonna is managing to sell out tours whilst pushing 60, why can’t Hœhanna.

  7. Dossome March 13, 2016

    She sounds pretty Ok to me

  8. IG: @mixedboy March 13, 2016

    Reigning Queen of Pop and the charts!! Good job RIRI.

  9. Cough Cough March 13, 2016

    Average and no improvement in a decade. I still like the album go but she is not a live act WHATSO EVER

  10. DEL BEY March 13, 2016

    I like the wardrobe, that’s all

  11. YOUR MADGEsty March 13, 2016

    Samantha, she sounded just fine and the concert last night was praised by the Jacksonville music press.

    .

    As for her setlist, this Woman has so many hits in her catalogue its quite unbelieveable – even songs that were short interludes or tracks that weren’t officially released are hits themselves as everyone knows them. I genuinely cannot wait for her to release a greatest hits albums in the future. Without a doubt, many of Rihanna’s songs are LITERALLY the soundtrack to her generation. I love how she is singing so many songs off of ‘ANTI’ also and it’s even more impressive that the crowd is singing along – that arena knew every word to ‘Kiss It Better’, ‘Love On the Brain’, ‘Desperado’ etc.

    .

    I can’t wait to see this ICONIC SISTER here in the U.K. Overall, I expect another $100-150M + grossing tour with ‘ANTI’.

    • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

      Are you O.k.? You’re always writing these college thesis on Rihanna. It’s not that serious, hun. Rihanna is not God. She has flaws and all

      • RihNavi March 13, 2016

        #JACKIE quit if you’re not fooling nobody

    • rosy March 13, 2016

      The haters this morning navy ignore this blog let then fight amongst themselves in the gutter

  12. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy March 13, 2016

    I was waiting on this post at the door! I knew Sam couldn’t wait to get he stubby, greasy fingers typing away about the tour. Now, as I refuse to watch ANY videos until I see her Tuesday in Miami, Twitter and people watching on Periscope last night claims that it was lit.

    • YOUR MADGEsty March 13, 2016

      I’m seeing her TWICE here in England. Once in ‘Coventry’ and then again in ‘Manchester’ – I wasn’t able to get tickets for the ‘Lodnon’ show.

      .

      If I’m to go by what the Jacksonville music press is saying and what twitter was also saying…

      The show is FIRE! 😉

      • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy March 13, 2016

        I could only imagine how expensive the London show is. Just to get tickets in Miami I had to skip a student loan payment. In terms of the show, it does look fire and a major production increase from the Diamonds World Tour. I’m beyond elated to see the queen on this artistic level.

      • YOUR MADGEsty March 13, 2016

        Oh, the ‘London’ show was certainly expensive. Initially, I wanted “Gold Circle (Floor Seat)” tickets for the Wembley stadium show but they make you pay extra along with a small tax fee and I did not want to do that. It’s great that she’s playing in other, smaller towns across England however which makes it so much more convenient for her fans in those areas who don’t have the means to travel to big cities. Our news press actually reported on that several months back and said that in some cases, Rihanna performing in these towns is the most exciting event to take place there in a long time.

        .

        I can’t wait to hear the songs off of ‘ANTI’ live to be honest. I just can’t.

  13. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy March 13, 2016

    To be honest, I’m mad about the setlist. I’m tired of hearing Love the Way You Lie, Live Your Life, and FVCK Umbrella. I really wanted American Oxygen personally. Also, I wish she performed more of the album. Like where is “Never Ending” and “Yeah I Said It?” Anyways, I will give you all my true, honest, objective review, something Sam will never be able to do, Wednesday morning.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) March 13, 2016

      U have to admit, the outfits are kinda tragic looking tho!!!!! I like the stage set-up, it looks like she’s performing in a stadium as opposed to an arena. But as i said, the girl needs to learn how to dance.

      • YOUR MADGEsty March 13, 2016

        I’ll agree with that. Aside from being able to move her body (rhythmically) to the music – ala. her caribbean roots – she’s never been much of a dancer. However, I do like that she TRIES and TRIES often.

        .

        Objectively, Beyonce (of course) and Ciara are much better in choreographed dance routines – even Tinashe form what I’ve seen. They just seem to have more endurance in that area.

      • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy March 13, 2016

        I mean the outfits are looking “Kanyeish” but I don’t know how I feel about them yet. I think they’re supposed to follow a theme as they match the stage. I’ll let you know honestly how I feel once I see it for myself.

      • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy March 13, 2016

        Also, I’m not mad that Rihanna isn’t a great dancer anymore. I think the fact that she doesn’t dance has actually helped her career. It has helped her establish herself as an individual artist rather a Beyonce wannabe. Now, instead of being seen as just this poptart who poses and does a two-step to the beat, she is a rockstar. Plus, the Rock in Rio show proves that she doesn’t need choreography to kill a stage.

      • YOUR MADGEsty March 13, 2016

        @ISPEAKTRUTH

        I actually see Rihanna as more of an “Urban-Rockstar” to be honest also. She just does what she does on stage the only way she knows how and uses her high-spirited personality to engage and intrigue the crowd – it’s worked the last 11 years.

  14. Kween Eb March 13, 2016

    Honestly, she wasn’t bad! Sam just needed a few extra clicks this week, so she baited us in! I hate when people like Sam abuse their authority, instead of reporting real news and updates happening in pop culture Sam and David consistenly give us this biased BS! ????

  15. Kitteneyez March 13, 2016

    Sam stfu you should not be allowed to post anything on Rihanna u biased.

    My girl was awesome she killed it setlist was so good even though she had to leave off some of her past hits and fan faves to make room for new Anti songs.

    She listens to us she knows exactly what her fans wanted and needed to hear.

    Bravo to Rihanna and her team.

    I just salty I not seeing her in Barclays and/or NJ

  16. Stephon Jackson March 13, 2016

    AHHHH SMOKE IT! AND I AINT NEVA LIKED A BROKE BITXH! I DONT NEVER FUCCCCK WIT YA H** BITXH! Slay Rihannnnna! She actually sounds decent. Working with what she got (which ain’t much)….

  17. LDN Chick March 13, 2016

    Is it sold out yet?

  18. LDN Chick March 13, 2016

    And her outfits look ghetto and cheap

  19. Nicki+Ciara-Alicia = March 13, 2016

    It was Empty AF …. did ya’ll see that slutty role model t-shirt

  20. Benji March 13, 2016

    The We Found Love performance was tragic.

  21. smh March 13, 2016

    She sounds better then Ciara any day. As a matter of fact any ALL singers sound better the Ciara

    • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

      Well the navy has low standards so you don’t know real talent

    • Nicki+Ciara-Alicia = March 13, 2016

      Taylor Swift for one says hi

  22. Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

    @Rhinavy, Jackie quit? And? Rihanna’s tickets were selling for $1 last night on craigslist and still weren’t selling! Lol!

    • RihNavi March 13, 2016

      #JACKIE no one uses you or your troll account you already been clocked so bye. Your fave is touring motel 6 bathrooms

      • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

        I’m not Jackie and my fave is planning her million dollar wedding and a new album. She’s doing better than your coked out talentless fave

      • RihNavi March 13, 2016

        I hope she will actually make it down the aisle this time kii

    • —– March 13, 2016

      Recipets?

  23. Nicki+Ciara-Alicia = March 13, 2016

    Great set list by the way…. it’s a good thing she opens with stay, I know I wouldn’t stick around to watch that whole mess…. Can’t wait for Mrs Onika to deliver this coming Friday

    • Nicki+Ciara-Alicia = March 13, 2016

      On the pinkprint tour …….off course

      • —– March 13, 2016

        Lol you’re from South Africa? I saw Lil Wayne and Yeezy when they were in the country it’s a shame Ill have to pass on Miss Maraj

      • Nicki+Ciara-Alicia = March 13, 2016

        Your loss

  24. Annalise March 13, 2016

    This is why I do NOT fvck with Robyn. All those accolades for what? A dry ass performance with awful vocals and bootleg outfits stolen from the TLC ‘Dear Lie’ Music Video.
    Wendell was right, Rihanna will never be a legend nor will she be respected amongst her peers. This hœ better get it fvcking right when she comes down to the UK, otherwise they will be pelting her gigantic forehead with food again. They better use tomatoes this time!

    • YOUR MADGEsty March 13, 2016

      LMFAO!!!!!!! I’ve been waiting for you, Sis. Rihanna is QUEEN and your Westfield-loving as will DEAL! 😉

      .

      Real talk though… Girl, you better find a way to go and see Beyonce. How am I going and you’re not? I heard a rumor that she MIGHT be playing the wireless festival this year… can you imagine? O.M.G.

      • Annalise March 13, 2016

        KIIIIII LMAO!!!!! You know my Ol’ messy ass was gonna come thru sooner or later! LMAO! If she’s going to wireless then I’d definitely show up, but they have already announced most of their line-up (which is mainly Z-list rappers). U never know, some big acts have gone before + I saw Jay-Z a few years ago so it’s not impossible. I haven’t seen Queen Bey since the Beyonce Experience so it’s well overdue!!!

      • Donald Trump stan March 13, 2016

        Classic assz smooching Analise

      • YOUR MADGEsty March 13, 2016

        So, who’s playing then? I can’t even be assed to look it up.

        .

        Anyway, I’ve seen Bey. twice – I Am & Mrs. Carter; I still enjoyed and preferred her I Am tour most of all. If anything, she should just do another festival somewhere across England or perhaps the one she did in Ireland several years back or one in Scotland.

      • Annalise March 13, 2016

        @DíckTrumpStan YASSSS at you having a meltdown over me and crying in my reply box!!! I know you’re a regular Nazi commenter hiding behind a random name, so expose yourself you chitterling-eating hoë! I’ve obviously dragged you so hard that you can’t come @ me with your normal name. LMAO that is true impact!

      • Annalise March 13, 2016

        I think the line-up is pretty random so far, I got a notification last week because I usually go every year. So far it’s Calvin Harris, Chase & Status, J.Cole, Ciara’s Baby Daddy, Craig David, Bryson Tiller, and some Z-list rappers and local UK folk. Bey did V festival and she did Glastonbury, so she could always do another UK festival this year.

      • Annalise March 13, 2016

        @YourMadgesty Gurl I was pissed that I missed the MCWS tour! My sister had tickets but that b*tch decided to take one her friends instead. Needless to say she’s dead to me KIII (just kidding!!! 🙂 )

      • YOUR MADGEsty March 13, 2016

        “Chase and Status”… UGH. Really?

        .

        At this point, I’d be more impressed if they hired hardcore Grime acts to headline or at least play a set. It’s hilarious how SKEPTA is so popular yet he gets paid absolute dust by the majority of the English music press – of course you have artists like Plan B and Professor Green who are the be-all-and-end-all. It’s a shame how low Dizzee Rascal and Tinie Tempah have fallen too!

        .

        I was listening to KISS and BBCXTRA the whole day yesterday and how they’ve “whitened” up these urban stations is digesting and that’s why I listen to pirate radio if I want to hear popular black music.

        .

        Ready for another whitewashed mobo awards this year too, sis? SMFH.

  25. RihNavi March 13, 2016

    The show was awesome! Her vocals ,energy, band and musical transitions were everything. I loved the minimalistic vibes the set gave. You can tell she actually enjoyed putting this show together! Ciara could never kii

    • Nicki+Ciara-Alicia = March 13, 2016

      lmfao @ the reach

      • RihNavi March 13, 2016

        You stan for 3 nonsinging has beens sis don’t try it

      • Nicki+Ciara-Alicia = March 13, 2016

        Also I can’t @ you saying has-beens when Anti will never outsell Girl on fire and The pink print Nicki is the Queen of rap and Alicia is a legend or at least an R &B Icon….. Ciara oh well…. more talented than your fave? I guess

    • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

      Oh yeah Ciara could never perform so badly

      • Amina March 13, 2016

        Could she fill up a 15K venue?

      • RihNavi March 13, 2016

        Where is Ciara’s international arena tour? 12 years in the game and she doesn’t have one under her belt kii. Why do you set her/him/it up for dragging every time #JACKIE

    • Niko March 13, 2016

      I’ve seen Ciara live and seen Rihanna last night Ciara slaysssss Rihanna by a far shot Rihanna is boring as hell live her voice lol Kiki at least Ciara sung live and actually stayed on key

  26. MsYonce March 13, 2016

  27. Fatusankoh March 13, 2016

    That sad she sound bad no talent the only talente she haveis to for married man

  28. Penny Sparrow March 13, 2016

    A MESS!

  29. MsYonce March 13, 2016

    This is all Rihanna has to offer when it comes to performing and that ain’t gonna change. Like she does a 2 step and she’s already out of breathe so I really don’t know what more dancing y’all expect from the girl. It was decent for her!

  30. M El March 13, 2016

    Rihanna you did awesome,God just keep blessing you.?????????Queen,I salute.

  31. RihNavi March 13, 2016

    #JACKIE/Cinnamon Girl is so pressedt kii. You know you do Heara more harm than good right? You get him dragged mercilessly everyday. What kinda stan kii

  32. Nicki+Ciara-Alicia = March 13, 2016

  33. Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

    @Rhinavy, Oh Ciara will make it down aisle. Hoeanna will never because no man wants a h**

    • Jemina Nelson March 13, 2016

      AND NO MAN, KEEPS THE TRANSGENDER CIARA, FOR LONG. I WILL GIVE THIS PUBLICITY STUNT OF HERS, 4 MONTHS. SO SAD, CIARA/HEARA HAS COME TO THIS. WHATS NEXT, A SPOT ON LOVE AND HIP HOP?

      • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

        Blah blah blah. Hoeanna can’t even get a ring on her finger. All she gets is a d### in her mouth. And that’s it

  34. Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

    @Amina Rihanna couldn’t fill up a 15k arena. Your point?

    • RihNavi March 13, 2016

      Didn’t y’all say that about Future too but he decided that Hearas c***/penis hybrid wasn’t good enough for him? Kii

      • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

        Ciara has a penis but yet these men stay putting million dollar rings on her fingers. All hoeanna gets is a punch by Chris Brown and called a ho by Drake. Bloop!

      • RihNavi March 13, 2016

        Kii I don’t even have to shade HeHe because you do it every single time kiiiiiiiiiii

  35. MsYonce March 13, 2016

    I feel like the setlist could be better too. She should add more songs from the Rated R era like Russian Roulette , Firebomb etc

  36. Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

    @Rhinavy, Rihanna’s tour is still not sold out. She’s supposed to be so much better than Ciara but yet her arena tours are still not sold out. They’re being sold for $2 on craigslist and folks still don’t want them. #ComeAgaim

    • RihNavi March 13, 2016

      Ciara couldn’t sell out 2,000 seat theaters so what’s your point goofy? Even if she didn’t sell out a 15K theater, that’s still over 10K more than your fave could everrrrrrr

      • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

        But but but I thought Rihanna could sell out stadiums? What happened? Lol

      • RihNavi March 13, 2016

        She can and HAS! Remember your fav worked concession at DWT stadium dates 😉

  37. Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

    I meant $1

  38. RihNavi March 13, 2016

    And Ciara couldn’t even sell album-ticket bundles on groupon for dirt cheap kii

    • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

      And Rihanna’s tickets went from $10 to $1 and still haven’t sold out! Next up: Free Tickets To the Anti Tour!

      • Jemina Nelson March 13, 2016

        NEXT U

      • Jemina Nelson March 13, 2016

        NEXT UP, IT’S THE NEW GAME SHOW:WHO WANTS TO MARRY A NO HIT WONDER? OOPS! I MEANT CIARA. :-D. COMING SOON ON GSN! 😉

    ANTI dropped to #19 on UK album charts…

    • Jemina Nelson March 13, 2016

      MEANTIME, BEYONCÉ’S ‘BEYONCE’, IS NO WHERE TO BE SEEN, ON THE BILLBOARD 200 CHARTS OR UK CHARTS. ADELE’S BOTH ALBUMS ARE THERE. NOW THAT IS WHAT YOU HIVES, SHOULD WORRY ABOUT. HOW IS FARTATION DOING? 😀

      • HailBeysus March 13, 2016

        Oh hell no! Id advice your basic ass to relook at BB200. Self Titled is at #89. I Am Sasha Fierce and 4 are charting as well! KII YOU TRIED THO. Beyonce has a damn near 10 year old album still charting on BB what about.frihs albums where are they??? ??????????????????

      • HailBeysus March 13, 2016

        http://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200

        Read it and weep Jemina
        Self Titled #89
        4 #156
        I Am Sasha Fierce #158

        What about frihs albums!?!?!? Didnt she release 93736282 this decade!?!?!? Why aren’t they charting sis. Oh wait i see Unapologetic beneath all of Beys albums despite Beys albms being much older than Unapologetic KIII!!! THE SELF DRAG YAS HUNTEA!!!

  41. Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

    @RhiNavi, you obviously don’t understand logic so let me break it down for your slow a##:
    You say Ciara has a penis but men put million dollar rings on her finger. When will Hoeanna?

    • RihNavi March 13, 2016

      Mad because Ri isn’t running around trying to be a football wife/socialite? Rihanna actually has a highly successful musical career while your fave is one flop away from reality television. ?

      • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

        But Ciara is not trying to be anything. She has milliondollar modeling contracts plus wworking on her new album. She can’t help it if she has men like Russell Wilson wanting to wife her up. She got it like that. Rihanna may have a successful career but she’s a talentless pump and dump trick

      • Rihboy March 13, 2016

        Pump and dump?your fave has a baby daddy and several men she jumped before that. You are in no place to talk. She is just a w**** that got a ring that’s all.

  42. Cold March 13, 2016

    It is what it is. Rihanna doesn’t really dance and her vocals…are her vocals. She doesn’t have elaborate costumes or crazy visual effects. She does have a killer set of hits though. It’s like going to see Nicki minaj you know what you getting the look, attitude, and stage presence.

    • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

      Its sad that some of you folks standards are so low and accept any I’ll thing

      • RihNavi March 13, 2016

        A Ciara fan should never talk about low standards because that t***** couldn’t sing her way out of a paper bag

      • Cold March 13, 2016

        It is sad it’s why I refuse to stan for this girl. She’s had maybe 4 great performances in 11 years.

    • Shane March 13, 2016

      Where’s Nicki’s arena tour?

  47. Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

    Rihnavy, Lol. And R**** can sing? She can’t sing or dance. All she can do is pat her p####. At least Cici can dance. She actually has talent.

  48. Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

    Who wants to bet R**** the dope fiend is not going to complete her entire tour?

  49. HailBeysus March 13, 2016

    Im living for the Gavvy contradicting and back peddling. So.now Anti is soldout. SCREAMS!!!! Not when their where some Formation tickets maid available on the secondary market and the Gavyyy desperately tried to uae that agaist the Hive. But when fRihanna has tickets on the secondary market still the show is sold out???? #NavyLogic! Also receipts of AntiSuccess being soldout because not one media outlet as said the show was soldout KIII!!!

  50. well well March 13, 2016

    sam predictable. same sh*t every tour start. crappy smartphone videos and the same complains. got no fundament.

    now what to look at here. show got a new theme. what is that? is it good or not? you could shove your focus maybe? not the same old bullsh*t. i dunno why people still going in on that. got just air in the head.

  51. Lake Erie March 13, 2016

    Ha Ha Haha!!! The don’t ask don’t tell crew tried to say that my FAV needed to learn how to at least sing her own songs during her Jackie Tour but ironically Rihanna may need to take SEVERAL lessons singing her own. LmaOoooo! !! PerformING was never her Forte so good luck on the rest of her ANTI tour lol. The metaphorical philosophy of that title is NOW hilarious lol.

  52. RIP March 13, 2016

    We already know what Ri gives vocally,but the way TGJ goes in on her is overkill sometimes.
    How can you bash Rihanna’s kinda struggle vocals but praise all struggle vocalist Ciara? Just because she can dance?
    How can you go hard for hitless mediocre Tennisshoe but shade someone with the same amount of talent,who made hers work in her favor?
    Rihanna and Beyonce are the only black females selling, so what she’s only doing 15K arenas,name another female of color doing it outside of Beyonce!
    Can we please stop getting these stanbait articles and more journalism please? Its not like you guys aren’t capable of doing it or at least some album reviews in between.
    Did Ri steal Sam’s boo or something?

  53. HailBeysus March 13, 2016

    But where the Navy at tho ??????? Before AntiSucces drop they had so much to say. But ever since it dropped and flopped like a fish out of water trying to get life, these hoees been absent kiii!!!

  54. Diabetic Oracle March 13, 2016

    The jacksonville arena holds only 15,000 ppl, did it sell out???
    #190k
    #122k
    #91k

    #64k
    Only 540k sold ww in 5 weeks? Self titled sold more than that first 24 hours. & how many ppl does beys first stop hold… 65-70k? Cuz it sold out long time ago. #TRAGGIC I still waiting on us sales receipts so far billboard only reporting false sales receipts… i need pure sales totals & anti tour receipts STAT!

  55. Oscar March 13, 2016

    no shade but if Madonna can sell out her dates with a flop album and singles why can’t rih

    • Rihboy March 13, 2016

      Girl that old dragon had 30 years on rih please stop. That’s not even a comparison

    • Rihboy March 13, 2016

      i loved the outfits! Loved everything about this! The stage was intriguing enough without being overbearing in theatrics. The choreography was typical. Rihanna does what she can do. Idk why people stil act shocked when they see clips. I mean if you are not a fan your view will always oppose. Your rambling won’t change the fact the show will continue for her fans. Vocally acceptable! I usually dont base my complete reaction off of her first week of shows, she usually gradually gets better ass the shows progress. However I was pleased with everything I was able to see. I’ll be at her show in Baltimore on the 9th. My sister wants me to give formation, but I’m not going until I preview this supposed album.

  56. JMar March 13, 2016

    these rihersal fans has alot s*** to say about ciara when there faves cant have a sold out tour that stiff ass low budget ass tlc no scrub ass performance not good at all she do is wine her hip and try to pop lock and try to sing her vocals are tragic and the navy trying to come for cici singing this b**** sound like a billy goat.

    • Jemina Nelson March 13, 2016

      RIHANNA STAYS WINNING THO. CAN’T SAY THE SAME FOR CIARA. POOR DAT. NOW GTF OFF RIHANNA’S POST, BEESTINK!

  57. ???Chile, leave my weave at the door and don’t steal it like those broke ass barb stans??? March 13, 2016

    I think it’s really funny how Katy didn’t show up for Rih’s first show like she did for Nicki and Miley. She’s supposed to be her bestie, but she’s been acting brand new and moving very funny lately. I don’t like how fake Katy’s been when it comes to Rih. It’s not fair when Rih supports her whenever she can, to he honest.

    • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

      Are you serious? Rihanna has shaded Katy many times before. She didn’t attend Katy’s wedding at the last minute. Every time I see Katy and Rihanna in a picture together Rihanna always looks like she’s annoyed with Katy. Katy finally took the hint and left that bish Rihanna alone!

  58. #TeamTinashe Stan (#JOYRIDE…….) March 13, 2016

    Rihanna is quite stale and predictable when she performs on her tour. I see more effort from her performances whenever she is being televised on an award show more than her own.

    P.s I knew that #Jackie stan was Cinnamon Bun all this time lol hehe. Ciara doesn’t even need to do more national anthems to fet dragged these days. His fans does it for him. ?

    • Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

      Has Tinashe gone copper yet?

  59. Tyler Makiavelli March 13, 2016

    Beyonce never puts in 20%, she goes full out every time .
    Rhianna on the other hand…..

    Slay trick or you’ll get ELIMINATED.

  60. Sam March 13, 2016

    She sounds like her on the first video and that was near the end of the show, so i’m guessing people got what they wanted.
    This shade can go on but I’ve found that Rihanna usually sounds like herself in concert regardless. Taylor Swift and Madonna both sell tickets and neither can sing so why give this girl a hard time

  61. ~The Arcade~ March 13, 2016

    Honestly she doesn’t get me hype, from those alleged ‘costumes’ she’s wearing, stage presence and now the setlist they chosen for her to perform… everything is just blah! Point blank. Period

  62. Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

    @Rihboy, Ciara is not a pump and dump. She was with Bow Wow and 50 for awhile. Plus her exes have never called her a how unlike Hoeanna’s exes

  63. Cinnamon Girl March 13, 2016

    @Jemina Nelson: Russell Wilson does. Next up: Who wants to marry a diseased talentless how: Noone

  64. Rihannatouchedme March 13, 2016

    Rihanna sounded amazing her vocal where on point and she was hitting every not I was in the middle in the front row and I swear to you she sounded great go check it out on my instagram @Rihannatouchedme I even got to hold her hand

  65. Rosie March 13, 2016

    Nice setlist but why does her tours always lol so cheap? Mess at the $500 budget stage and the Instagram boutique looking outfits.

  66. Honey love just a lesson magic word anti March 13, 2016

    Did she release her album anti yet

  67. FC/JC March 14, 2016

    Im just here for Formation World Tour!

  68. Erica March 14, 2016

    She was not that bad, but why are her fans trying to come for singers that’s killing her with box office tour sales and talent? Also, don’t forget about ANTI sales at 600K world-wide. This includes the US and UK sales after six weeks of release. This is after she posted album links to her legions of fans on social media. She’s at what, over 150 million fans on social media? Brag about those album sales.

  69. KD March 14, 2016

    Love on the brain is such an amazing song though ?

  70. Ashley March 14, 2016

    As somebody who has called themselves a Rihanna fan since 2006, I would never pay money to see her live again. Saw her last tour and she faked her way through the entire show. Half arsed ‘dancing’, singing three words of each line, barely any interaction. It’s like she wasn’t even there.
