Rihanna took to the stage at the Echo Awards in Berlin, Germany tonight to perform new single ‘Rude Boy’. Check out how your favourite vocalist and mine fared above…
I actually rather enjoyed Ms. Fenty’s performance. Yes, her vocals (as always) were compromised so as for her to actually move around on stage. Yet it’s hard to deny that her swagger was in full-effect (however unjustified it is) and the stage set-up (cheeky robots inclusive) was a nice touch too. Not bad…

ummm, yeah that was alrite, not great, not bad
her band is sick tho! i love the arrangements…this song sounds so good live
Lol…it was…cute. She is just always off key with every performance…damn…girl just cant catch a break with the vocals…she’s not a good singer.
But I liked the concept…a bit random, but I liked it.
Btw, what are the wackness they call her backup singers/dancers/posers…they’re practically useless.
She looks like a french maid…I’ so confused. lol
I loved this song until I saw her attempts at a performance.
Fact: Rihanna is best enjoyed on your ipod. Not live.
She looks gorgeous tho!
Um, I’ve tried to watch her performances, hoping and praying (I’m being VERY sarcastic when I say that) that she will wow me, but she’s freaking BORING and she CANNOT sing! It’s sad that the Grammy’s awarded her for ANYTHING because she has NO talent! Point blank. JMHO.
I think the performance was pretty bad. The audience seemed really bored. He dancing was not too good (stiff), her singing was pitchy and off-key and there was absolutely no wow-factor. Snooze-fest, especially compared to the cuter one she did on Ellen.
And yes, that band is crazy! Love it! Who thinks her background singers looked dope? I do!!
@Aunt Jackie I totally agree. Her band is always good and I think that her backup singers should have record deals over her anyday. They sound so good!
Well just when I thought she was getting better vocally live……Smh. Vocally this was horrific.
However, she has definitely improved on her stage presence and her dancing doesn’t look so stiff either. That was actually a good performance from Rihanna aside from the nasty vocals. The Robots were a bit off to me and her outfit was kinda cute but it looks just like the one she wore at the Pepsi Smash just one of the leg sleeves are cut-off. But whatevs.
I love this song and I love it even better with a live band! Live bands bring a different swag to a song and I appreciate that! Live bands are Awesome!
And Sam and Trent, stop trying to appease the Rih stans. She sucks period! She had NO swag! She never does!
I really enjoyed it actually. It was cute and Rihanna has lookin good so, I liked it. Vocally, meh, Rihanna never sings good live. Like @HMMMM said Rihanna is for your iPod not live. I don’t think the Germans knew what was going on, lol.
SHE JUST SUCKS SOOOOOOOOOOO BORING THE ROBOTS WAS BETTER THAN HER.
The audience WAS really BORED.
wow!!that bish was on fire!!!
but the performance was all over the place,i didn’t really like it!
the audience was bored
GO RIHANNA!!!!!! KILL THEM HATERS YO!
Beyonce is sitting somewhere laughing at this girl…. swagga jacked her moves hahahahaha
WHAT DO YOU GUYS WANT VOCALLY FROM HER?
SHE NOT WHITNEY NOR MARIAH, SHES RIHANNA!
SHE SOUNDS GOOD AND IN PARTS SOUNDS LIKE THE RECORD EVEN.
THATS HER VOICE AND SHE SOUNDS GOOD, YES SHES NOT A BELTER AND DOES NOT GO FOR HIGH NOTES BUT SHE STILL CAN SING,
SHES HAVING FUN TOO AND MOVING AROUND .
@ Blasian
some women is suing her ass… so the robot are helping her save $$$$$$$
@ jeff
go sit somewhere pls
THE HATERS ARE ALIVE ON HERE TONIGHT!! RIHANNA MAKE THAT MONEY BOO!!!! KEEP THESE H*** HATIN! LOL
@ sugar keep hatin on a celebrity that makes more money than you and dont give a f*** what you have to say,, get a life.
@ Jeff
Hey, how you doin’?
I think what most people want vocally is for her to SING ON KEY and NOT HAVE HER VOICE TREMBLE OR CRACK when she’s not even attempting to sing super high or super low notes.
How can’t you sing live when she’s not even doing hard-core choreography? Come on man, seriously. Is it so much to ask to want a chick who has been in the industry for five years as a singer to know how to sing?
Come on Jeff!
MY EYES WERE ON THE EYE-CATCHING ROBOTS THE WHOLE TIME LOL HAHAH!!! RI RI GO SIT DOWN!!
The two robots remind me of the movie “HELLBOY II” or maybe even “THE FIFTH ELEMENT”… I must say Rihanna impresses me every time. Go babygirl… Push “RUDE BOY” to #1 on the charts.
@JEFF
Yo ppl like Sugar,Aunt Jackie, and the rest of them Prozac pop’n h*** have nothing else to do so let them Hate.. They only keeping Rihanna in the headlines. The really “CLOSET FANS”.
Lmao@ sugar that’s freakin funny someone is suing her that’s why she’s using robots lmao I can’t stop laughing
X Y & Z
where are you
@ Shanny,
thats true though, go to TMZ you will c, she used her services and never paid her, so that b**** is taking her to court… 26K. TMZ had it yesterday
This song has grown on me and Rihanna we know can’t sing good but her performance was her lip singing which makes her sound like her record. Yes she is studying Beyonce moves so she can do better.
Wow…what a hott mess…
this performance was dreadful..it was boring and has nothing to it……………..
She really on da grind with this “Rude Boy” ain’t she? Gotta make that last single count I guess, since the first 2 didn’t, and “Hard” barely hung in there, even though it is one of the few I like. Anyway, the performance was ok, concept was humorous and YES, she does have a rather large, yet kick ass band. Damn, Def Jam is breakin’ da bank for this girl. Her best live renditions of this song was on aolSessions and Ellen.
@ Ben , yes they are, they have to make back ALL that money spent / spedning for the project!!!
it’s the echo’s, there are mostly older people, so of course they were bored
thought it was a nice performance…she is beginning to take the stage
dont know why they didnt promote hard that way, cause it could have been a hit, too.
always the hate, if she lipsincs y’all would say she couldn’t sing live and girl is always singing live and y’all hate. she sounds nearly like her recorded voice! and sometimes even better!
think it was nice with the robots
Damn HATERS (lmao)…at one point, I thought it was just being critical, but now it hilarious how hateful folks are towards Rihanna. **Please let it be known that I am not part of the Rihanna-fan club, and definitely have no intentions on enlisting**; however, I can’t deny the fact that she is reasonably good at what’s she does. “She sucks”, “her vocals are horrible” – and so is about 90% of her contemporaries!!! Music quality has been dumbed-down some much that the likes of Ms. Knowles is considered vocal-royalty, when the truth is that you can find a number of people on the streets who can outsing many of the tops acts. Don’t get me wrong, B. is a bad sister, and on the stage, she’s the best around; but there are few artists today that amaze me. You want vocal talent, look at Anita Baker, Minnie Riperton, Luther Vandross, Phyllis Hyman, Whitney Houston (in her prime), Mariah Carey (in her prime), etc. You want vocal talent visit (as I said before) Julliard, Berkelee – don’t look at the top 10 Billboard albums.
And stop hating, I guarantee you will feel much better in the morning 🙂 (blood pressure will regulate, and who knows – your luck might improve…I’m talking sh_t, but being kinda honest too)
its wasnt perfect she sounded out of breath at one point
what i think is funny is that this site clearly doesnt think she is talented but is supporting Sabrina Washington which is laughable
i’m guessing Sabrina’s people have put some $$$$$ in the thatgrapejuice fund
i thought blogs were about genuine opinions not paid for opinions
WOW SAMA U WAS ACTUALLY SPEKAING THE TRUTH
OH MY LORD
WHATEVA MY GIEL KILLEDS IT AS WELL
SHE HAD BETTER DAYS VOCALLY BUT SHE STILL SANG BETTER THAN JLO CIARA AMERIE JANERT MADONNA AND ALL THOSE DUMB B******
RIHANNA 2010
RB WILL BE ‘1 IN
UK
US
GERMANY
STAY MAD
Borriiiing , her voice was a mess
I liked it..but is she gonna be like “others” and steal everything.. blackeyed pea..
@ben how could hard barely hung in there, when it was #1 on the dance charts. And a top ten hit in the US come on now.
AHHH NOW I GET IT. SOFT P*** IN THE MUSIC BIZ… DAMN, GURL… GO XXX AND TAKE THE PAPER. THIS IS BORING!!
LOL @SAM MAKE UP UR MIND P****
PERFORMANCE WAS BORING. I wasnt expecting her sing really well but I she still could’ve gave an exciting show. I wonder if she will perform this song on the Kid’s Choice Awards. Love the song tho’.
The robots were there because it was a metaphor *hence the squirting** but it reminded me of Chris”I Can Transform Ya” “Come here rude boy is you big enough” haha
TYPO: scratch out the I
*before the stans say something*
her voice always sucks live and yea it was boring too.
I only like the way she sounds on her tracks but not live
Rihanna you make me sick. when people keep mistaking your face for a puckered asshole like they do me, you would be a hater too, just sayin!
That mess was boring
Rihanna hair is hella ugly she need to get a choreographer cuz her dance moves r stiff and boring
Rihanna fails to amaze me and I can’t stand when she sings that song live
Def jam is really shoving her down ppl throat
That hair is horrendous ugh
That was a snap away from p***! She’s trying and trying way to hard. The movements made her singing off and she could not recover that’s why she finished the song early. Thank goodness. The people were not bored they were in shock with her doing p*** at an award show…
K, let me say, I’ve NOT-YET watched it, but I’ll have to ask…or better yet, predict:
*Rihanna “reaching”, if-not ‘screeching for notes’ her “vocal-gifts” weren’t so blessed?!?!
*Rihanna “just-a-step-away” from a near-fatal face-first-fall from attempting coordinated movement/gesticulation with music – few will call dancing?!?!
*Rihanna nearly “self-satisfying” and writhing in-orgasmic-delight” as she sells p****, and what a fine role-model, SHE is!
…I watched it! …..See….I WAS RIGHT! ; – 9

@Nicky22 — That MIGHT be true – ’bout Sam and Trent, but I’M NOW HERE; there’s NEW Sheriff-in-town and that’d-be-me: X,Y,”and Z”…..
You see, there WAS-a-time, when Rihanna had NO ‘competition’; no Lady Gaga, no Keisha; it was just she and Beyonce – for the most-part! But NOW? …Well, she has no-less-than, four-other-artists whose out-sold, and are, FAR-more talented than SHE is. And THEY’LL be ALSO, touring about the same time, that Rihanna will!
It’ll ALL-come-down to a ‘rational-choice’ that you’ll have to make as to where you’ll spend your hard-earned ‘recessionary-unemployment-a-possibility-funds’: ‘Can’t sing, can’t dance, and gives crappy live performance: Rihanna’ OR, say an Alicia Keys/Beyonce/Keisha/Lady Gaga who CAN perform FAR-ABOVE the-likes-of ‘a Rihanna’!
For ANYONE, with-a-bit-of common-sense, the choice(s) are certain and clear: “Talent/showmanship” vs “Hype/hysteria and PR!”
X,Y, “and Z” — OUT!
SHE WAS AMAZING. DON’T HATE PEOPLE
