Eminem and Rihanna are warming up the masses for their Summer ‘Monster Tour’.
The pair offered a preview of what to expect from the trek during their set at day one of Lollapalooza 2014 in Chicago last night.
Slim Shady, who headlined the bill, brought out Slim Talent to perform ‘Stan’ in the absence of original singer Dido.
Perhaps Em hasn’t heard the monstrous vocals that have flown out of RiRi’s mouth over the years. Because, it’s clear she was far from equipped to do the track justice. Indeed, at points, she sounded like she was sleeping.
The performance after the jump…
Appalling.
What happened to the progress shown in performances for songs such as ‘Diamonds’ and ‘Stay’? Still, that’s almost a rhetorical question. Because, ol’ RiRi has made it clear by action that she can’t be consistent, won’t be consistent.
It’s yet more reason for folk to stop accepting mediocrity from these alleged talents and demand value for money. Like, this nasal neigh of hers is literally unacceptable. Disrespectful, even.
Ms. Fenty will need to gather herself and those nocals together before the release of her next album. Anticipation is already worryingly low and these sleep-walking performances won’t help her cause.
