Growing.
If any were wondering what Rihanna had really been up to since the release of 2012’s ‘Unapologetic‘, the answer to their question lies in the above…growth.
For, in what can only give her fans even more cause to anticipate her forthcoming studio album, the entertainer delivered a flawless performance of her smash hit single ‘Pour it Up’ at the first annual ‘Diamond Ball.’
Arranged by Chris Walden, her new take on the song stood as one of the night’s many highlights, performed live for the likes of Brad Pitt, who joined the star to celebrate the evening.
Ready to give it a spin?
An impressive Riri below…
Magical.
I swear i’m not even hating, but dat was a stupid decision to sing dat at a CHARITY EVENT. if dat was the after party or something then it would have been perfect, but at a charity event, singing a song about strippers and making money and spending it lavishly is not a wise idea. But i have to say she did sound good and nice not just at the right place..(P.S COULD U IMAGINE IF BEYONCE SANG PARTITION AT AN EVENT LIKE THIS, THE STRUGGLING NAVY WILL COME FOR HER NECK AND WEAVE.
It was a charity event PLANNED BY HER, FOR HER OWN CHARITY and RAISED MILLIONS IN ONE NIGHT. She turned it from a club banger to something more sophisticated. It’s her event, get off her d***.
Although it her charity event, it was still a CHARITY EVENT. The content has not changed,(SHE IS TRYING TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE LESS PRIVILEGED) u don’t try to raise money for the poor then sing a song about spending it stupidly. As i said earlier, if Bey sang PARTITION at her own charity event, the navy will be having a field day….#FACTSONLY
Partition is about being nutted on in the back of a limo, but if she wanted to sing it at HER charity event then so be it! I didn’t know there were stipulations on what to do at your own charity event. The KKK has charity events all the time LMAO foh
Yes at you giving some type of credit
It was HER event she could do whatever she wants 😉
K Michelle ha impact these girls doing ratchet music over orchestras now
actually Sisqo started this with thong song
This performance is ONE word “HILARIOUS ” lmao!! This was a hot ass mess at a CHARITY EVENT WHETHER IT WAS FOR GUCCI MANE AND THATS STILL A DAMN MEss!! Lol but she looked Beautiful and FOR RIHANA this was considered a Good performance! Hopefully Therese more in her FUTURE
I agree. The performance was underwhelming.
As I do understand your logic, you have to look at the audience who attended. There weren’t that many stuff old white people there. The audience contained Kim K, her ratchet mom, Fab, Adriene Bailon etc. They came there to hear Pour It Up. Furthermore, it is apart of Rihanna’s makeup for her to go against the grain and be different. Whether it’s wearing a see through gown at the CFDA Awards or a dress with her stomach showing at the Met Ball. She does what she wants and everyone loves what she did then reductively copies her.
OKAYYYY David, nice to see you giving props when due unlike Sam. YASSSSSSSSS only Rihanna could turn Pour It Up into a classical masterpiece. I WAS HERE FOR IT!!! LMAOOO
That actually slayed. Thought it would be trashy since she was performing that stripper anthem at a charity event. Kudos Riri
I wonder if Beyonce will try this with 7/11 since she copying Rihanna’s bad gal style
Heard she made over 4 million thats cool nice seeing her doing positive things
ugly and Flopara cant sell 4million albums let alone raise 4 million dollars lmaoooo 🙂
Go f*** yourself with your hate your ass can’t even afford a dam tampon u talking about flop u broke welfare b****
She SLAYED it. I thought It would be a bad decision to do it with this song but she made it work
Fu ck u
When she started conducting the orchestra….. DEATHHHHHHH I CANT.
@Suprise
.
I get what you are sayin, why a stripper anthem out of all of her songs?
.
she could have simply performed other great songs she have
This was not the only song she performed.
alright I get you
I don’t get it lol why would she perform this song at a charity event? It doesn’t matter how much you try to revamp the song with classical instruments, the song is still going to be the same. Knowing that she has a full catalog of songs she could of performed something else.
HASHTAG: #BringOutTheBrilloPads
FINALLY I AGREE WITH YOU ON SOMETHING!!!!!!
You stan for 17kTinashe your opinion don’t matter.
what stages are tinashit is booking 🙂 she cant even book a sidewalk you have no opinion
Now I love me some tinashe but you and that nvgga talking bout 17k tinashe have me laughing my f****** ass off rofl! Yall ain’t right!
point was that this at the end of the day was a rihanna event, she showed she could be classy and sophisticated but deep down she will always be rihanna, the girl who does songs like pour it up, she could have done any song but this was a statement. i dont need to be role model material to make a difference.
I dare this bald headed ostrich egg shaped nazi to come for me
Oh please. Shut it on up groupie!
id take you seriously if you had a gravatar
.
non-factors that way –>
Low-key i might like this version of PIU better than the original.
HAS UGGLY’S ALBUM HIT GOLD YET??????
Not yet but thanks for being concerned btw im loving beys song 711 thought it was trash at first but it slays #ManItFeelLikeRollingDice
I know right it slays, it’s no 13 now on hot 100….IT just went to no 1 on the r&b chart..IT’S GROWING ON A LOT OF PEOPLE, I WON’T BE SURPRISED IT IT EVEN DOES BETTER THAN DRUNK IN LOVE.
When is ciara putting out #Flo6?
When is ciara putting out #Flop6 h**?
When keri stops being afraid to drop a 3rd album.
the sewage is overflowing
.
😆
I won’t lie this was kinda epic for her to do this and in a ball gown. It made me chuckle. It’s her event she can do what she wants.
I forgot to add she still can’t sing tho. Lol
And your p**** still dry not even KY jelly can can help your issue go kill yourself hater
the 16,409 robocop stans shouldn’t have an opinion till that metal can scan a simple 50k
.
where are the Elijah stans when you need them
I see your unstable ass is still on TGJ trolling.
you have only had 1 point when you dragged LB back in 2013 or 2012 , I forgot the year and you haven’t been relevant ever since
.
you might wanna stay in yo lane with that “trolling” sh*t cos 98% of uour disposable tweets are that
.
ghetto baby momma from the projects!
Y’all are so unbelievable !!!…its an event expected to raise money , of course at some point “money is gonna be on their minds ” , they are gonna have to “throw it throw it & watch it fall off from the sky ” …stop hating ….the rendition is flawless !!!!
She must offered to finally give u an interview…because this isnt any different than the rest of her performances!
Not TGJ kissing her ass lol did R**** finally agree for an interview or nah?
Whatever the performances were ok Vocally she still needs to work on it.
THE IRONY OF TALK ABOUT HAVING “VOCALS” COMING FROM A CIFLOPRA FAN???????????? I CAN’T DEAL..LOL
lmaoooo you want to talk about vocals? rih might not be no whitney or beyonce but she has a better range and tone than FLOP-ara do n*****-ara even have one octaves at this rate Cheryl one octave cole sounds better than he-ara
Lmao stupid song to perform
but what stages are Kelly Flopland booking your fave is so irrelevant
50 cent, Mary j bilge, and few other artists was accused of taking steroids. They accused Mary j blige taking steroids for Her voice, and I’m assuming Rihanna taking them as well.
Sleighed (slayed)….just to let u h*** know i spelled it that way on purpose
It slay, just think wrong place wrong time
Great performance for a Rihanna. But I’m not impressed.
yes RIH this performance was everything great touch with the Orchestra , the orchestra was different
Can BeyWhoreYoncé even spell the word “Orchestra?”
HASHTAG: #ThatESLClassIsNeeded 😉
YAWN maybe tinashit needs to go back to school her nonexistent career isn’t landing her anywhere #FLOPQUARIUS still hasn’t crossed the 30k mark
Not you trying to call other people for help after all this time you have been stalking me. This “lessor” right here certainly gots a hold on you that’s for sure and you don’t know how to drag it.
So is BeyWhore gonna attend her ESL class? Jay Z is literally the single parent right now 🙁
when is tinashe ever gonna be relevant? what is she going to do now since 106 and park is getting canceled next week you know 106 is the only stage she books 🙂
You still haven’t answered my question my minion. Again, when will BeyWhoré attend the ESL class that is waiting for her back in Houston? 🙂
she will attend that class when FLOPQUARIUS Sales 50k and when tinashe can do an a arena tour by herself 🙂
All I want for Christmas is to see these b****** seethe. Lol the back handed compliments are hilarious!!! R8 is the move!
I cant at the lessors stans ( Kelly,ciara,keri,& tinashe) stans talking shitt lmaooooo
The struggle you have too stan for 3 people cause you can’t stand alone with one.

Skeri could never be prettier than Nicki.

Its cute but Rihanna ain’t all that anymore im more into Jhene and K.Michelle
Oh.
Someone needs to shoot this beyrihliyah troll
bitttch someone needs to shoot your prostituting welfare mother for never getting that abortion from when she was pregnant with you
David will be fired very soon, his contract specifically say that he should shade Rihanna on a daily basis, this won’t last 😀
Tinashe stans trying to shade King Bey f*** outta here f**
she couldn’t sing something more classy ? like Stay or Diamonds ?! smh
TGJ only posted one of her performances.
she did sang Diamond it was the fist performance.
Nicole posted both of them.
hated that arrangement.
@Beyrih is steam pressed as a motherfųcka lmaoo. Continue trolling as me since you got DRAGGED in your own faves post. Why are you so hurt? 😀
your delusional if you thought that was a drag and dumb h** don’t ever lie on me you know damn well nobody wasn’t trolling as you you always talking about beys intelligence your just scary as f***
Not bad! I even liked most of the choices she made with her runs.
It was cute.
When your fave says she wants to give her man a blowjòb in a car and let’s the whole world know that…… yeah she a HÒE àss mother. No different than Kim Kardashian. Only with a few copyright infringement talent.
But I’m done dragging you because I’m about to go out and LIVE.

The f***???
Lmao this pressed a$$ b****. Go get 2 on with your fave to cope w the fact that your fave got f*cked by schoolboy q. What a lessor.
Rihanna is flawless.
This was a private event full of the young who’s who of Hollywood…not a bunch of old rich snobs…this was Rihanna’s event….RIHANNAS. She can sing whatever she wants as long as she accomplished what she set out to…RAISE MONEY FOR SICK PEOPLE…5 million dollars to be exact! She performed PIU, UMBRELLA, STAY, DIAMONDS AND WHYB.
GET….OVER………IT.
She looks gorgeous !!!! She does it without even trying..
she looks great, I love dress,very appropriate for the occasion
she did a great job….waiting to see what she has in store for us…I wasn’t really feeling her last album, accept diamond with kanye west
a weird thing to perform the h** hymn. tho… we throws that up for charity too. who mad about THEM making her what $he is? it was a great party tho. 😀
The performance was A+! Not gonna lie though, some of it seemed lipped. Even if it is, it’s fantastic to see Rih Rih show true potential as the icon that she’s supposed to be.
I’m sorry the Jokes about Ri-Whine-A WRITE THEMSELVES!! She’s very Goatish in her sounds & I CTFU everytime I hear those tones squeeze out of her frail body Modeling SHOULD BE HER ONLY JOB!!
Flawless? Her look, yes Rihanna is so gorgeous but those vocals and that dry sounding orchestra,didn’t mesh well at all!
It’s amazing how certain artist are held at such a low standard when it comes to them performing live, that sub par performances like this are labeled flawless.
No hate! I dig Rihanna, but after nearly a decade performances like these should be an off day, not an artist at their best!
Props to her for being a philanthropist though! Always good to see famous people use their influence for a good cause!
@Tinashe Stan
Beyonce’s smart enough to have manage her own record label, own her own studio, and smell out 440 million.
You stan for a stranger b****….Tierra Mari’s lessor. So feel free to stay in your One Hit Wonder lane
*spell
Just plain wrong.
It didn’t really work for me personally.
I enjoyed it. She just can pull anything off, any sound, any style. I mean, it’s Rihanna!
For Rihanna it’s decent but still never a moment in the performance vocally where i was like “YESSSS RIRI SAAAAANG”… It was just good for her own standards but def NOTHING special AT ALL. She lookS simply stunning though, as per usual.
Rihanna looks absolutely stunning.
I’m guessing David has forgotten about the Rihanna clause in his contract. Anyway I enjoyed it, very nice Rihanna and congratulations on the first annual diamond ball.
Wow, not only are you a loose bottom, your ear for talent, is definitely nonexistent.
That was horrible..David needs to be fired and never re hired he doesn’t know music I see….
She’s pretty that’s all.
She looks pretty.
GREAT and Empress Rihanna Always was FLAWLESS in those Zac Posen.
What? LOL Should we be impressed by this????? LOL She talked thhrough the performance and then did a few notes, and it didn´t match with the orchestra at all. I knew the way they wrote the post it had to be some type of shade or something 🙂
It´s funny that this should be praised in some people´s opinion when Mariah Carey´s recent performance on that lighting event a week ago shits all over this, and that says A LOT! Rihanna can´t even do the intro that Mariah did in that performance in the freezing cold and after 25 years of career (and still getting bad press). But we should recognize Rihanna for this???? In her 20s? LMAO
SHE SOUNDS AMAZING GOO BITCHH !! YOU DID THAT
#RIHANNANAVY !!
CAN’T TAKE IT !! R8 HURRY UP !!
WHO CARES HOW YOU HATERS FEEL.. CALL JAY UP AND CLOSE THE DEAL !!
awesome!
That was kinda AMAZING!
