rihanna-new-years-abu-dhabi-02-715x1024

Popular model Rihanna performed last evening in Abu Dhabi. The Covergirl representative, who was paid $500, 000 for her appearance, did a medley of her hits for the audience. Clearly, curtailing her sex appeal was not on the agenda for fashionista. Check out more images, courtesy of Just Jared, below:

    Hardly covered up like your last article said she would be…

  4. whystillinbusiness January 1, 2010

    She always looks like she is working it out, but we know! I wonder when she is going to start singing other Rated R songs besides the 3 people have been suffering from so far? I heard she is just doing a bunch of old ones and throws them in for bonus when doing these sing alongs…

  5. Tracie January 1, 2010

    Hmmm other sites are saying these pics are from Rockerfeller in NYC w/Jay Z…which is it?

  6. Dilla January 1, 2010

    Why Rihanna why? I hate the hair. her latest fashion ensembles have been very disappointing, but i still love Rihanna.

  7. lauren January 1, 2010

    she’s always look like she going in but we all know the deal. same ol’ same ol’

  8. Parisian girl January 1, 2010

    She looks good!

  9. SparkD January 1, 2010

    Does anyone have Ciara’s performance photos from Kazakhstan?

  10. mez January 1, 2010

    wow Rihanna kills them every time

  11. Reasonable Voice January 1, 2010

    @Trent

    Here we go again with that “Bajan model” s***. Rater R sold over a million copies in five weeks. Try not to choke on your haterade. And anyway, talking about modeling, st least Rihanna still has endorsements (I’m just going to leave it at that).

    @Sparkd

    Yeah, I love Ri, but I definitely want to see the Ci Ci pics. I think her new album is going to be good cause she has a lot riding on it, since the last one didn’t go over so well.

  12. 12345 January 1, 2010

    this “model” kicks ass, this just shows how dumb you are, well, she may not able to sing, she may have only talent to model but guess what? she is still relevant, that just shows how inteligent she is, just like Madonna in the 80s, she never had an WOW talent but she made things that made her still relevant, 30 years relevant and that is what Lady Gaga and Rihanna are doing so yeah, you may not give her props for her singing ability but she is known because of that and for being beatiful, better then a fUGLY c*** behind the computer screen saying s*** about one of the most beatiful famous woman

  13. stx January 1, 2010

    proud of Rihanna selling 1 million copies of Rated R. That album is straight fire!! I think in 2010 she will put out the surefire hits like firebomb, photographs, and Stupid in love. Anyone of those is sure to get ri ri her number one single off that album. Big things for rihanna in 2010.

  14. THP January 1, 2010

    For those saying RR has sold amilion copies… it hasnt. It’s only sold 802,000 worldwide in almost six weeks – united world chart statistics. Hasnt gone gold in the US yet…

    Still, she looks nice in the above.

  15. king January 1, 2010

    Rated R sold 1mill copies? where do the stans get their info at..it sold over 800,000 copies so far. its now what week 6,7?.its still not something to brag bout cause suzan boyle sold 2.5 mil in 3 weeks,,,,
    I knew that bish wasnt gonna covered her a** up, what else is she suppose to when the bish cant sing, cant dance, cant do s*** but show her a**.
    she better enjoy all this fame now, cause pretty soon some other non talent h** gonna take her place,,,
    r yall stan still mad that sam or trent calling rihanna a model, not a singer?
    what else can they call her non singing a**?

  16. king January 1, 2010

    3, 2, 1, here comes the stans calling me a hater,
    lol, it never fails

  17. Reasonable Voice January 1, 2010

    Sorry haters, United World Charts updated yesterday. 800,000 was last week’s figure. Rated R moved another 209, 000 copies this week, which would bring the total to over one million sold worldwide.

    http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm

    Rihanna Daily also has figures. And it has only been five weeks since she released.

    Haters stay mad . . .

  18. nikki January 1, 2010

    does it matter what she sold dang she looks cute but seriously it’s has been a month and a week for her to sell her million is that better for those who want to talk about numbers damn susan sold 2.5 mil how she do that in 3 weeks i’m happy for her too i hope rihanna does good in the future

  19. nikki January 1, 2010

    @ king u be cracking me up but she does look cute but really she is a model i’m not throwing shade either she will be fine in the future if she keeps doing what she’s doing now and having the same circle she has

  20. J-Wellz January 1, 2010

    RIHANNA SO MOTHERFUCKIN HARD.SHE KNOWS SHES A BAD BISH.I JUST LUV HER

  21. Anne January 1, 2010

    OMG, she’s just so hard. (NOT!) What a ridiculous song. Nice (& slutty) pics though.

  22. Qui January 1, 2010

    Love this girl to death!!!!! keep doing ya thang Rih n don’t mind the haters. that’s what they always will do when they’re jealous. by the way you look stunning!!!!! 1 mil !!!!!!

  23. Raychel January 1, 2010

    Thank you @Nikki
    and @king says she’s not a hater
    smh
    Rihanna looks great here!!!!

  24. Syymone January 1, 2010

    I know Rihanna breathe a sigh of relief when she was told she could wear skimpy outfits so she keep distracting people from her lack of singing ability. …………….Now of course Rihanna Stans will use the very “played out term of Hater” towards my comments but I wouldn’t expect anything more from them……….

  25. TRATRE January 1, 2010

    HMMPHH,for a “model” she sure is getting paid for singing! i swear the shade by trent & what’s his name is ridiculous however i will say this THAT RIHANNA IS ONE TOUGH COOKIE, with so many ppl talking crack about IF i was in her shoes i think i would have broke by now. I THINK RATED R IS THE ICONIC ALBUM,i will not try to give reasons y i say so b’cuz u will not understand.i will just let time tell.SO I C U GUYS IN 5 OR 10 YRS FROM NOW WHEN I COME BK TO GLOAT!

  26. Syymone January 1, 2010

    @ King…………………I totally get what you mean but I think Rihanna Stans use the term hater as a “coping mechanism” because they think everyone must agree with them,Actually I feel anyone that uses the term uses it for the same reason.

  27. TRATRE January 1, 2010

    I C SYMONE JUST CAN’T PASS THAT RIHANNA POST . I didn’t bother to read what u said b’cuz i know it will b basically what u said yesterday under the other rihanna post.

  28. stx January 1, 2010

    haters is as haters does. If your not one, then the word shouldn’t bother you. But since all you guys do is bash rihanna, and talk negatively about her on a daily, you are definitely haters, so who the cap fit let them wear it.

  29. bobby January 1, 2010

    RR DID NOT SELL OVER 200K THIS WEEK LOL KEEP WISHING……..LETS PUT IT LIKE THIS HOW IN THE HELL DID RR SELL THAT MUCH WHEN ITS NOT EVEN IN THE TOP 10 ALBUMS AND HOW DID RR SELL OVER 200K WHEN DEF JAM’S BIGGEST ARTIST RIGHT NOW JUSTIN BIEBER SELLS 100K EVERY WEEK AND STAYS IN THE TOP 10 ALBUMS 0_OLOL

  30. stx January 1, 2010

    @bobby don’t ask us, go research it yourself, and you’ll find your answer. I know its hard to believe, but numbers don’t lie. Rihanna did it again, even though the haters said she couldn’t.

  31. bobby January 1, 2010

    @STX

    OH I SEE Y’ALL WAS TALKING ABOUT WW CHARTS WELL Y’ALL BETTER BE……..OH HOW Y’ALL FEEL ABOUT THAT ALICIA KEYS ALBUM SELLING OVER 280,000 IN THE SECOND WEEK NOW WHAT WERE Y’ALL RIRI STANS SAYING LAST WEEK IT WOULD WHAT? OH WAIT I THINK THE WORD WAS PLUMMET LOL……………………….!

  32. stx January 1, 2010

    You know, good for alicia, i have no problem with her sales. But i am more concerned with rihanna’s standing. Overall though, Alicia always has the stronger start, but the finish is where it counts, so the race is still on, so we’ ll see how it ends up. Remember its not the fastest horse out of the gate that always win.

  33. bobby January 1, 2010

    WOW I’M SO PROUD OF RIRI SHE DID SELL 209,000 YAY 0_O BOUT TO SEND HER A COOKIE………DAMN I JUST CHECKED ALICIA SOLD 438,000 THIS WEEK LOL ……..RIRI STANS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT LONG AND HOW SHES GOING TO SELL MORE LOL BUT GUESS WHAT LONG RUN DON’T MATTER YOU KNOW WHY BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN SOME ARTIST KEEP DOING PROMO AND SOME STOP AND START WORKING ON THEIR NEXT ALBUM

  34. stx January 1, 2010

    but the point is people were saying she flopped, but this proves she’s pretty much still in the race. Yes we have to talk about long run, because people were saying things like she would never do as good as gggb and stuff, and they were calculating how big GGGB was when it was all said and done. And of course long run is where it counts, cause that is where the artist make their money. WHich artist would just quit after the first week sales were over? So the long run is very much important to an artists career.

  35. bobby January 1, 2010

    OKAY BUT ITS FUNNY WHEN RIRI STANS WANT TO ONE UP ON ALICIA THEY TALK ABOUT LONG RUN BECAUSE GGGB SOLD 7.6MILLION AND AS AM SOLD 6MILLION WW BUT GUESS WHAT COMPARED TO ALICA’S 6MILLION THAT 7.6 AT S*** YOU KNOW WHY BECAUSE ALICIA SOLD 6MILLION ON FOUR SINGLES BUT RIHANNA ON THE OFTER HAND SOLD 7.6 ON WHAT SEVEN SINGLES AND A RE-RELEASE AND HOW MANY TOURS RIRI DID HARD PROMO FOR A YEAR COMING OUT AND JUNE 07 THAN A RE-RELEASE IN JUNE 08 AND STILL DOING PROMO IN EARLY 09 WITH THAT RE-RELEASE BUT ALICIA CAME OUT IN NOVEMBER 07 AND DID HARD PROMO INTO EARLY 08……THAT’S WHY LONG RUN DON’T MEAN S*** LOL

  36. bobby January 1, 2010

    ^AS I AM

  37. bobby January 1, 2010

    WHEN I SAY LONG RUN DON’T MEAN S*** I’M TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU COMPARE THEN TWO

  38. King January 2, 2010

    It always amazes how if somebody not kissing rihanna’s a**, that means that they r a hater. what!! because I think rihanna cant sing for s***, that means I’m hating on her?
    get the eff of here stans with that bull.
    let me get this straight, rihanna sold 180,000 on the the first week her album dropped. so her label sold her cd for 3.99, then 99cents.i dont give a fug it was only on itunes only
    than dropped 70% on sales on the second week, than by some miracle on the 6, 7 week her album out she sold over 200,000 more albums.
    until that bish manages 400k on her first week ill give a fugg.
    if suzan boyle can manage 600k on her first week, and its was her first album, than rihanna can manage 600k on her first week too.
    untill tha bish learn how to sing, dance, learn how to do something beside doing h** s***,
    ill all her a** a model

  39. King January 2, 2010

    the stans should be happy that people call rihanna a model.bish should be thankfull that she pretty and that people talking bout her.

  40. tim3495 January 2, 2010

    I was there.. and yes these pics are from the abu dhabi performance.. she rocked the place and she only sang one song from rated r that wasnt hard, russian roulette or wiat your turn, i dno its name though… it was a great perf. and she sang completely live

  41. jean alchemist January 2, 2010

    nasal vocalist number one,this b**** is lame as f*** and slow as a sloth,wtf she cant do anything sing-no,dance-no,wtf why do ppl wanna treasure a no talent bish,beats me!

  42. jean alchemist January 2, 2010

    headward,our head,pon de forehead,satelite head,

  43. Raychel January 2, 2010

    @king and you say you not a hater?
    are you serious?
    you need jesus talking about rihanna that way
    I dont like chris as a person and I dont even talk about him that way.
    you are a pathetic poser, and you dont even have to be a cb stan
    god have mercy on your soul

  44. Rihanna Flop January 2, 2010

    u wack bish sit down

  45. bobs January 2, 2010

    They are pissed Rihanna is killin’ em. She she crossed the 1 million mark in world sales for Rated R — HER FASTEST EVER. She just went gold in the US, and is en route to Platinum in UK and Australia. Chris brown? He’s lucky if he crossed 350k world wide when it’s all said and done.

  46. Anndee January 2, 2010

    I’m not a Rihanna stan, have never owned one of her albums, but call me crazy going on any artist’s thread and calling them out of their name when you don’t even know them is hateful.

  47. Raychel January 2, 2010

    @andee exactly tell that to @KING!

  48. Rihanna Flop January 2, 2010

    like king said, be grateful she is called a model
    at least she is acknowledged for something

  49. plannb99 January 3, 2010

    She looks great, though the blonde really washes her out and she also can’t get perms as often as she needs them. Anyway, thanks for pictures, videos of her singing is quite unnecessary. I did buy her cd since it was $1 on Amazon. ($4 w/a $3 off coupon = $1)

  50. plannb99 January 3, 2010

    Graffiti has sold over 750,000 world wide since December 8th. ICTY is platinum & Crawl is gold. All that for a kid who’s hated by many and his Deluxe (the most popular version) is $17.99 ($10 in the Walmarts that carry Graffiti)

  51. wtf January 3, 2010

    thanks plannb99…i was wondering why rihanna fans want to jump and down as if she archieved something great…chris is catching up with less weeks with half the publicity and never reached rock bottom,,,,rihanna had more publicity that susan boyle or any artists this year but had to drop her price to fucken 99c on black friday but still could not sell over 200k…chris had his cd back balled, had the worst worst publicty ever and still managed to do more than half her the first week..smh..

    haters keep dreaming…all those stats above by @plannb99 are real..so much for flop…i am still wondering whose career is over between the two..one had the worst pub and the other the best but is almost close to a mill in less weeks WW…hmmmmmmmmm!!!

  52. Reasonable Voice January 3, 2010

    links please . . .

    proof of Chris’ sales, please . . .

    checked his wiki, no sales data was there. how come?

  53. KodieBlue January 3, 2010

    THis women needs some serious vocal lessons if she’s gonna try to sing high Range ballads. Stick to what your good at. The mid to low vocal ranged dance and R&B songs, and stop trying to f*** with Russian Roulette. That song should have belonged and owned by an artist who can sing it? I don’t get it..

  54. Reasonable Voice January 3, 2010

    If Chris sold 122K worldwide in week one, and a little over 50K worldwide in week 2, and it’s week three or four, and he’s sold so few albums that he isn’t even listed in the top forty of GTC world chart, and he’s in the 30’s of bilboard’s US chart, then how did he get to 750K? Although I’d love for them to prove me wrong, me thinks some Breezy stans may be bending the truth.

    Like I said, some links would be appreciated.

  55. Raychel January 3, 2010

    @kodie blue if she couldnt sing it she wouldnt have been able to record it.
    every artist is capable of singing live the song they record, they just dont know how to execute correctly live, or nervous. rihanna probably needs to focus on the song, because she is capable of singing it live.
    and here you are on a rihanna post. :/

  56. djenc August 13, 2011

    j’aiime et j’appreciie comment elle s’habille koi kel met sa lui va <3
