Bajan model Rihanna continues along the promotional trail for her ‘Rated R’ LP, most recently stopping by BET’s 106 & Park to perform new single ‘Hard’.
Getting the good out of the way first (I know…), Ms. Fenty certainly exuded a lot more swagger than I’ve seen from her before and the crowd were H-Y-P-E-D, which can only ever be a good thing for any live performance. That said, it came off as if she was performing at a local high-school talent show. In any case, some folk seem to like that, so…errr….more power to her?

Nice performance. She is getting much better. Her performance on the German popstar show was so amazing. I was really surprised at the big improvement in her vocals. Wish her the best!
today i bought chris browns album …. oooh my god i cant beleive it, my boy came come back hard, i wish him luck.
as for rihanna, i dont know if i will support her maybe if she apologizes to us (the public) and to tierra marie and lastly take some anger management clases, maybe then i will but for now i will PASS.
graffitti…
Go Chris Go let the haters hate
I liked it. Stop being sad to her Sam!! She’s pretty cool.
Yes, Chris’ new album is awesome!!!
She sings just like other non-artists (when you taking a bath, cook, etc) instead of walking around the stage do something girl wtf and if this is what yo’ll are calling a good performance then im out…………. NEXT
@ love
R U KIDDING US? is this what you call good performance?
Melzy sweetheart, you really are a f*****’ trip, huh? Chris Brown is the one who put HER in the hospital, yet SHE needs to apologize to the public? And this s*** right here made me pee myself a little – she needs to take “anger management classes”?? O_o I swear to god, some people have a real f***** up way of thinking, lol.
As far as the performance goes…*yawns, falls asleep for a bit, then wakes up and forgets the whole thing ever happened*
Next…
Oh, and Chris Brown’s new album is S***, fools. Just because Graffiti is flopping hard and nobody’s checking for ‘ol Woman Beater anymore doesn’t mean yall gotta lie and say the album is hot when it really is not.
omg no one cares about chris browns wack album so stop talking about it, were not here for him.
*we’re
SAM WILL NEVER JUST POST ABOUT RIHANNA.. WITHOUT SHOWIN HOW MUCH HE WANTS CHRIS BROWNS D*CK
HE ALWAYS GOT A DROP A G** A** BITCHY COMMENT…
NEVER JUST A KOOL LAID BACK KAT..
AWAYS A BITCHY LITTLE IN YO FACE P*SSY….
VERY IRRITATING
Lol you guys are killing me, I enjoyed the performance! Chris browns albums are never the best as a body of the work but there are always a few stand out tracks, I hope this time around the material is better! I respect the fact that RiRi wants Chris to live his life and do well after everything!
People should stop getting mad when others address Rihanna’s lack of talent and that’s exactly what it should be called lack of talent. She gets by while performing and nothing else! She has mastered the art of using all the gimmicks she knows how when performing. Hard was funny on BET with that get up she had on and her performances on the Graman show basically she let the two singers and backtracking do 99.9 percent and on RR like I’ve said before, that song has epic quality but not with Rihanna.. She carries a tune as far as you can throw her and them notes if she could carry the tune would be out of this world but she cant cause it’s not in her to be a real singer! Her promo is only showing people what lack of talent she has… It’s not helping her, she is steady going down and think this is x-mas season when everyone should be up top and she should be #1 still but she continues to go down!
I think her performance was okay as with most performers. Most current day artists either lip sing or have a track do the work for them. Her voice is average, but obviously it is good enough to sell records and make profits. I wish people would get off the fact that she was abused, she most definately has been trying to move forward with her life. Bother her album and Chris Brown’s Album are okay with some stand out tracks, but I would not buy either one. They both have their imperfections and both still have growing to do as individual’s and as young adults. Unless you are perfect you should not cast a stone. He has taken responsibility for his part in all of the mess, and she has yet to admit any wrong doing. I am sure all that was being said about her by her camp and his camp are not all lies. All Islander women have tempers (I speak from personally knowing). We are all hot blooded and tend from time to time to act out . . . .I wish the both of them nothing but success!
She need to only release videos and singles and NEVER perform live. Period!
YAWNING
She can’t even move, Can’ t wait to see Chris Brown on 106 & Park this week, hope he performs at least, I am fan of Sam because his not afraid to speak his mind and attracts haters by doing so, at least his being honest, I rate you Sam, it’s your blog, say what you think.
That was a good performance for that type of crowd (young). They obviously were feeling it, and liking the song since they were singing too. But I’m on to you Sam and Trent, when it’s a slow day post a Rihanna thread, sit back and laugh at the hateful comments people start throwing around. IT’S JUST MUSIC, not a debate on world peace.
she is not gonna last..she can as well peform at collegues..she just does not cut it when it comes to being an artist…she just does not have it…not once was i captivated in this whole performance..not once at all!!!
Im telling you if she spends less time in the public and more time rehearsing with dancers, etc. She would be hot…those tv’s in the back don’t make up for her lack of stage presence. Im rooting for you Rihanna, but you really need to work on your craft just a little bit more..=[
My whole thing is that you say the same thing every time there’s a Rihanna post. She’s not talented, she can’t sing, blahblahblah. That’s all fine and good, everybody’s entitled to their opinion and I respect that. But damn, it gets repetitive.
She’s improving on the stage presence, slightly, with the crowd interaction, she’s barely ever done that before her albums started flopping lol. Coincidence?
For me, her improving is a bad thing.
As bad as it may sound, I actually am amused by how horrendous she is at performing live. If she is now improving to the point were she’s no longer entertainingly bad, but neither is she blowing me away with a great perfomance, she just becomes someone who is in the middle and who is boring to me. I may start to lose interest altogether.
I suspect the the people who consider this a great performance only think so in comparison to how she normally is, but if you compare this to any other pop singer out today who does a lot more than walk around, shake hands and look beautiful, this is still extremely mediocre.
F*** you Sam!
You wish you could be Rihanna!
Go get a v*****-operation and then maybe your ugly ass could be a Bajan-t*****-model.
I will agree and say that her performances are ALL very high school talent show. But, as you can see, her main audience is from high school. So it works. The haters, such as Sam, are all apart of the minority. Let them have their moment of hate and keep it moving.
THAT WAS A GOOD PERFORMANCE
SHE HAD SWAG AND SOUNDE DLIKE THE RECORDS
LETS SEE IF SOME OF U FAKE WHISPER B****** COULD SOUND THIS GOOD WITHOUT SOUNDLING LIKE HEAVY BREATHES OR PRE RECORDED
RIHANNA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
OH AND SAMA U R A P****
LOL @ you always calling her Bajan “model” instead of “singer” hahaha. Love that subtle shade you throw at her. She should just be a model and stop singing.. i mean yodelling or whatever you call that noise coming out her mouth.
OH AND FUNNY HOW U DIDNT POST THE RR PERFORMANCE ON THE POPSTAR FINAL WHERE SHE HAD HER BETS VOCALS EVER
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOSER
OH AND FUNNY U DIDNT PREDICT CHRIS BROWNS LOW SALES BUT HATE ON RIHANNA*
SAMA U R A GIRL
Lol who cares what anyone got to say now about her. She killed it.
I think that she did fine
the audience enjoyed her so I guess that’s what matters
It was a lil boring for me the girl has to learn how to dance because she cant just count on her voice. I will give her props for singing live however why would she ever lip sync only people who dance do that.
I THINK SHE KINDA DOES NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO THE WORLD BECAUSE SHE WENT BACK WITH HIM AFTER HER BEATING BUT I LOVE RIHANNA SHE REPRESENTS FOR THE CARIBBEAN PPL!!!
Whoa that HIHIHIHIHI person is mad huh?!?!?!?! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
she proably gonna take it easy like most artists do
I LOVE HER SWAGGA ON HARD IT SEEMS SHE SWAGGED UP SUPER HARD ON HER SINGLE HARD YO AND MI N**** JEEZY I WANA C HER PERFORM G4L SWAGGED UP ON DAT TRACK TOO…
I think the performance was okay, but during the whole show she just came off to me as being arrogant. Its something about her demeanor that just irritates me. If I were you Chris I would move on a never look back, because you desreve so much better.
Rihanna stans catching feelings on the internet sad.
WOW, ONE OF THE BEST SING TALKERS IN THE BUSINESS. CUTE FACE, SHAKE UR ASS BOOTY BUT THAT’S ABOUT IT. B**** CANNOT SING. I SWEAR SHE’S LIPPING TO THE BACKING TRACK HALF THE TIME. TYPICAL NON-SINGER IN THE BIZNESS RIGHT NOW, SHE LEADS THE PACK.
what the hell does chris brown has to do with this post? y r rihanna’s stans throwing shades at chris brown, when this is a post bout Rihanna…
for people who said this was a good perfomance, what they hell are yall smoking?
bish just moved around the stage..thats what we call talent now?
I feel like rihanna is not even trying..she thinks all she has to do is wear some cool outfits and people not gonna pay attention to her singing.. BOO BISH BOO
Yea I do agree with the person that said rihanna should apologize and come clean to the public…maybe her album might sell more if she was HONEST to what happen..
because people are gettimg turn off and bored by her…even the white blogs who used to worship the ground rihanna walks on, are calling her an attention w**** with no talent…lolololol
u know ur 15 mins bout to be up if white people are callin u an attention w**** with no talent..@deedee ur a mess..lol
Some people, including me, are just tired of people like Rihanna getting so much attention and popularity when she has such little talent. She has no stage presence, can barely sing or dance and has the nerve to say someone is coming for her pedestal. What pedestal? She doesn’t have one yet and at this rate, she won’t be getting one. There’s so many more talented singers that should be given a chance. Even Rihanna’s fans say things like she’s improving or getting better. They are gracious as fans but I don’t see or hear enough improvement, she’s been doing this long enough to step up by now if it’s ever going to happen. I don’t think so.
wtf??? first of all she song good 2. she looked ugly 3. she looks like the devil s angel 4. her voice gets annoying after ah while
RIHANNNA IS THE SWAGGA DON SNM!!!
HATERZ GET SHOT.!
Somehow I got on this website while looking at Chris Brrown posts, so that is where my heart is, that is the kind of talent i respect. I too can’t watch her and think about how she has not owned up to having ANY part in that mess, and how she classified him as “that TYPE of person” who beats women – on national TV. And when I see her performing live up there, it leaves a bad taste. And, yeah, she just walks around too much. Its boring . And jeez – WHY NO OUTFIT?? I usually think her outifits are cool! This one wasn’t. A bore.
BUT I love the girl’s videos. Her team does a good job with those. She is a good piece of art in them. And I like her songs on radio. She sings raw. ! And perfection can be a bore too (Beyonce, yawn). Go nasty girl go! (but you will get yours in the end for betraying Chris).
