The 40th season of ‘Saturday Night Live‘ ended with a little help from Rihanna last night, calling on the performer to rock out before they bid their viewers farewell again.
Fortunately, the singer gave said viewers a lot to miss when she hit the stage to perform singles ‘Bitch Better Have My Money‘ and ‘American Oxygen‘ as part of her fifth appearance on the show and to support the studio LP on which the jams appear.
Ready to be impressed?
Rih’s brilliant set below…

Before the usual Stan wars erupts, I just wanna say she did an amazing job. I even like American Oxygen a little better now, Princess Rihanna still have what it takes to turn this messy era to another successful one.
#RFlop era is coming… 😆
CORRECTION: Rihanna’s Career Deflates As ‘American Oxygen’ Single Struggles For Air ….
I hope it’s deflating, she’s is one of the talentless so called ”Artists” out today, with their awful music!
RIP8
I’m optimistic.
LOL…THIS ERA IS NOT WORKING….SCRAP IT SIS.
THEN QUICKLY RELEASE R9.

LOL, her moronic fans are still pRIHtending that the R8 era has not started yet and that there’s still all the slayage to come.
Again… LOL
And you spent all that time looking up the stats of someone you don’t like. Who is the loser?
I think Rihanna is crap but who cares about CHART Positions ?
She should tongue-f*cked Chris Brown’s a**hole again to stay relevant.
That’s what she is good at. ????
This was a nice set up but terrible performance for an artist! Who pays for his s*** ! Her fans are clearly death! She sounds terrible and her supposed bad girl attitude is WACK! What money SHE ISNT A BOSS! Seats
I think you meant deaf .Apparently your mom was too busy getting RI money to get you and education . Have one of those several seats and learn something lame.
So her new style is Aaliyah in 2000? Romeo must die teas
This era is a mess, the songs are bad, images are bad, lacks her usual fire. She has a bunch of drug addicts around her and she is obsessed with image and not the music
Lol what a waste!!! She could’ve promoted 2 new songs to push this crap era forward! Instead she went to 2 flop singles. Not even the B**** Don’t Deserve Ma Money video can’t save the song now…
B**** go sit somewhere with your dry p**** and slither off a cliff
Her fans The Goat, thought Ritardnna could pull a “Beyonce” but the fact us R8 is just another….”Jackie”!!!
😀
R8 album, which has constantly been delayed, perhaps due to the lack of something that resembles a hit single.
😆 😆 😆
how can something be delayed when it never had a release date #stupid
Says a be hive fan when it’s your fav stinky bey husband can’t run a music company Gtfoh be hives
#TIDAL/ SPOTIFY IS A GOOD CHOICE AT THIS POINT. NOBODY WANTS TO SPEND EVEN $2 FOR THIS GARBAGE.
???????????????? There is no hope for this era. It was hilarious watching her struggle to keep up with the choreography and dancers during the BBHMM performance. ???????????? Why did she even bother performing American FLOPxygen?? I still don’t see it for that contrived mess!
.
Grammy’s, I heart radio, Jimmy Kimmel, March Madness NCAA, SNL, (rumored BB awards performance) and still no album or even a release date?? ????????????
Rihanna sucks.. She’s irrelevant.
She may have had some hits before but none of her songs,videos nor performances are iconic. She’s just a crap and her songs are very boring, also has a stupid image.
I’m glad she is flopping just like ARTPOP.
She´ll do less than Artpop. Artpop still debuted with 250,000 copies first week. That´s like the most Rihanna has ever done in her whole career, and that with hit singles and radio support always. So imagine this time… 🙂 With media and radio support Gaga slay Rihanna commercially, as proved in the past. I´m not even talking about talent…
I think the changing of record label was a terrible idea and worst of all she’s coming with outdated songs although she promised timeless music. I feel like her hype is over.
She’s still beautiful thou on the other hand
I coulda had a V8…. What a snooze fest.
No one cares for your dumb opinion you hating ass ho thot b**** dry fungi maggot stench gtfoh
Nope, Sorry navi but this was just a big waste of time. And I didn’t know Keri had a new single out, like damn TGJ do your job and report that s***.
I don’t think its a single I think it’s a leak but either way it’s still HOT
Rihanna isn’t over. This era is tho.
Damn why are people so negative?? Anyways hope this performance helps both singles especially American Oxygen rise on the BB100
Vegas…here she comes… 😀
I think the navy are dumping her now that she’s doing very bad. They should stan for music not sales!
Gurl go suck a bogger balls
Her career is running out of oxygen slowly but surely
It is a done-deal.
Her fans should take their heads out of Rihanna’s ass and see the light. Pray for them.
This album is a tragic flop. Bless their souls.
🙁
She gave us 2 solid performances, but I’m already over these songs????
american oxygen grew on me….it’s like the song “what now”, I hated it at first then, bam loves it….
on topic… I think she did a great job…this girl can make any outfit the bomb…she doesn’t have to try hard on anything she rocks…her live performances has gotten so much better
bish better have my money reminds me of pour it up..I also hated that song
….bad taste? 🙁
She might have to do another PR relationship to save this Era. I personally would love it if she focused more on the fashion side, design a proper clothing line and Model full time(her true calling).
Only real designers should design lines.
She should tongue-f*cked Chris Brown’s a**hole again to stay relevant.
That’s what she is good at. 😀
Rihanna is the last Rockstar that we have! Whether or not you like the songs, who else could first sing a trap song then sing after that an American ballad? Your fave most certainly could never do so in any capacity.
…..maybe she should go on your with Ciara?
“Tour”
why are the beyondfake the only major stan base worried about an album that ain’t got ish to do with them?
and have the nerve to say rihanna is trying to do a beyonce..that was funny…..like beyondfake invented the term “surprise”
rihanna is not an artist..like beyonce is? ha
yes…putting your name on a song that you aint got ish to do with, makes you an artist…swaggerjacking, makes you an artist…popping your poosie naked…if thats not artistic..
Why were y’all so worried about Beyonce’s album back in 2013? Y’all are hypocrites like bye
Beyoncé is evolved with all her music please stop barking that b*******
Her tongue lick in BBHMM is so damn nasty and s*** at the same time.
Wow she really can’t dance but American Oxygen was decent
One, two them boys coming for you
Three, four, better lock your door
Five, six, hide your b1tch
that’s how much fukcs I gave about replying to my comments
ZERO
kanye….
^^^ Wow, Attention seeking much hun?
Smh,her worshippers are beyond delusional.
Well I guess American Oxygen is a single
Like flop flop flop ,its done rih let it go hunny
Yasssss American Oxygen slayed, Rihanna delivered. I am loving the direction of this era, love everything I’ve heard so far. Cannot wait to get my hands on this CD. Congrats Riri
Lol shut up you’re not fooling anyone.
Not too bad! I must say that AO is one of the best songs she’s recorded in a while. Hit or not, it’s really solid!
Waste lol. She has no clue. She could have taken the opportunity to push a new song.
I don’t think her album will flop however I don’t think it will be her best seller. A lot is riding on the next single from this project, it would be wise for her to release the album first before dropping the next single. If she does the opposite and the single doesn’t take off on Radio then the project is DOA because her fans expect hits from her. We are starting to see the seeds of doubt in the comment section on this site. The Navy is not as confident as they once were on the success if this project.
Like seriously I can’t believe she bothered to perform these two dead washed up songs.
She did a good job with both songs OMG !! American Oxygen performance was my favorite.I love the passion she has for AO even though its not doing well on the charts.She is an entertainer,rebel,fashion icon,pop icon.The fleas are here and pressed as usual.They are so bored with their fav,it must suck to stan for a boring old witch.AO is going to soar on the charts!!
Kiii she’s done, navy will have to deal.
Onika struggled to go gold and the flop print will sell less than roman floploaded which stalled around 900k
LOL That´s performing?
Can anyone explain why the hell does Rihanna use so many backing tracks (and other singers of her “caliber” if you know what I mean) to sing a retarded song with no vocals needed like “have my money”? And basically her whole catalogue?. I´m curious about the possible explanation someone can offer.
Rihanna literally sings over the track. Some artists may do it for the chorus, but she seriously just plays the song and talks over it! Omagoshh and its not like she hits any big notes or dances!!?? AO requires no impressive notes and she still can’t sing it alone??? Hot trash.
I feel sorry for the Rhitards. Rihanna obviously doesn’t give a s### about them. She puts out theses awful songs and gives these lazy performances. Her heart isn’t in it anymore. Face it, Rhitards. Your fave doesn’t want to do music anymore
The fleas have abandoned their favs post kiiii she slayed you miserable hos in the dark!!!
omg there. direction my b***. isn’t it the same old… style… or whatever. isn’t it just that why it… ?!? a rihrelease of… old habits. or recipes. no fresh spice there tho. dunno why… food. biz cooking. X) 😀
Lol @ her struggle dancing.
She’s jealous of Ciara because Ciara dances better than her
LMAO she’s so f****** done!!!!! #R(L)8 will be shelved.
Ciara’s 2 weeks old album is flopping.
Be that as it may, Ciara had the courage to release her s***. Three singles, one hundred performances, twelve million magazine covers, social media whoring, a movie and coke in her nasal passages……………..AND STILL NO RELEASE DATE!!!!! Why she so scared? Cici got her afraid? Yonce got her shook?
I have come to the conclusion that you are mentally senile. Nowhere across the world or the moon is Rihanna worried about Beyonce and especially Ciara’s whisper voice. Neither one of those could pull off those songs or the concept.
And neither could Rihanna f**. I’m sure she stole that concept or someone from her team came up with her. She’s unoriginal, untalented and ugly. #noRIHleasedate
You can say what you want, but she pulled the concept brilliantly, and RollingStone agrees. No other popstar, and most certainly not Ciara Desert could present such a diverse body of work.
Kii Ci has more creativity in her fingernail than Rihaids has in her whole body. You’re extremely delusional sis…………………………………
If Ciara had so much creativity, she would’ve sold more than 10k her first week. She might as well start putting her music on soundcloud and call herself an indie artist…
LMAO cibola has more creativity than Rihanna? What creativity does she have? She is a broke Janet Jackson.
What creativity does Rihaids have other than changing her hair color sis?
All these avi’less and random poorly made names aren’t fooling anyone.
.
She did a great job. I don’t see how anyone can listen to AO and not feel inspired, but hateful. Guess they don’t have a dream outside of twerking.
She can’t sing, drive, or sell…yup she’s done. Everything she does seems skin rehearsed and unnatural
.
It sure does, that bbhmm performance was actually cringe worthy and I immediately paused it… my eyes don’t deserve this kind of punishment.
Both performances were GREAT, especially “BBHMM.” How can any Rihanna fan NOT like that song? It GOES!!! I just don’t get it.
Anyway, still in the minority loving every song from #R8. Ready for the album! 😀
The lyrics of American Oxygen are so inspiring, and whether or not it is a hit, it is the best and most meaningful song to be released since late 2014…But I forgot most of you rather stan for a dancing mannequin who sings “I’m spinning with my hands up, I’m spinning.”
AO is her most important song!Im glad she performed it.
It’s so great and inspiring …to whom?? If it’s soooooo powerful why is it at 97 on billboard. Obviously people aren’t inspired enough to pay a buck 29 for it.
I really hope she uses the same concept from the BBHMM performance in the video; the visual was so gangster. Next time, I just hope she puts a blonde wig on the kidnapee
Exactly whether you call it American oxygen or flopoxygen
Let’s talk about it, America is experiencing a resurgence in open hatred even amongst young Americans
What is the american dream nowadays, reenslavement through prison, the melting pot
Its time we talk about real.things
Its not like rihYAWNna to milk FLOP singles which suggest these 3 are some of the best songs on R8. Her team might end up scrapping the whole project.
I’ve always said I love American Oxygen. I personally think it’s brilliant, even the video. If your not really into performing arts or artistry then you probably won’t get it. American Oxygen is sorta like what Rhythm Nation was to Janet.
And very proud of rihanna for using her brand and banner even though she is not american to highlight what is going on
Did racism just go underground during the civil rights era was it pretence
Were ganagta rappers and ignorant rap artist used to rebrand pur youth to becomes targets of hate that needed a channel
After civil rights our brand was hard working, god.fearing education loving modest people
Who.are we now and why
What really fueled this new direction and imagery that record companies were so ready to push
There is a real world outside of this stannomg
Its time to think and make the world better
Rihanna doesn’t give a f*** about that stuff with her fake ass! All she cares about is weed, coke and clothes……foh
Beyonce had 4 platinum hits at this age 27:
If I were a boy —> four flopped seconds
Single ladies/Diva —> b**** has no money
Halo — > American flop from Barbados.
J/S!
The levels of chosen illiteracy are alarming
Why dont we value education anymore?
Why do we allow crime over a beat to be our soundtrack?
What is up with us, what is our American dream?
Bey version of AT LAST got more play than american flopxygen
I hope rihanna atleast has a FLAWLESS this era lol
Beyonce could present a golden calf and you would just bow down and worship it. Music was the key component of the civil rights movement and American politics, and American Oxygen is the only mainstream song doing just that. Instead you rather worship and praise a “lady” who sings about swallowing kids and riding the D in a bathtub. That’s very indicative about how little informed you are.
Rihanna shows off her boobs, verbally bashes her fans and fellow industry singers in a condescending tone, she promotes drugs and premarital s**.. Please just stop with your delusions off of this one song- and she’s not even an American.
This post isnt about beyonce there is one above nd below for that
Loved rihanna’s natural photos for snl
And her Dior, killing it!
Rihanna has swag for days
Besides Aaliyah RIP no one pulls off tomboy s*** her set it off-esque look was cuyute!
Go Rih!
Exhibit A-insanity
On the real mental illness is a serious issue facing a lot of black Americans due to untreated trauma over generations
This is a rihanna post, there are 2 bey posts above and below but her insanes are in here. Smh
Our race has a long way to go, God help us, heal our minds
I dont worship anyone but God I do enjoy Rihanna and I come here to just talk about her performance last night it’s such a shamethat one has to deal with an angry swarm of hateful bitter angry jealous hatefulthat are hell bent on tearing down women of color that are out here doing their thing that a
Honestly just scrap this whole era already… its not working
I think you should be offering Ciara more advice instead of Rihanna. Her whole album sounds like RIHject songs from Talk That Talk! Actually did you go and buy one of her CD’s? #10K #YouDontDeserveToTalk
Lmao omg why is there only hive occupying the post? I guess they couldn’t wait for rihs performance!
It must suck that the only time this “alleged singer” Rihanna breaks the internet is for her fashion… Never for performances or anything oertanent to talent. The only performance of hers that broke the Internet when she performed the “beat my a***” duet in the car on Grammy night 2009. Damn
Pertaining****
What other recent artist has broken the internet alone solely by performance? The last one to do so were the holograms of MJ and Tupac. Stop trying to hate on the last living rockstar, because she is the only artist today who could authentically pull off both of those songs.
“Stop trying to hate on the last living rockstar, because she is the only artist today who could authentically pull off both of tho”
.
Why must the navy be so delusional??!!????
Call me delusional yet you can’t refute the facts! Also, wasn’t your fave that was a recent good girl gone bad to stay relevant almost 10 years after Rihanna did so?
Beyonce is more diverse and can perform it too. Rihanna is not the first to adopt a “bad girl” image and won’t be the last. She didn’t start selling until she her team created the bad gal. Sit
http://youtu.be/PHIZ7OfVQP0
Stop lying to yourself. What is that song? It’s soooo boring! I should send this video to my aunties. Hey, she even knew she was lame, because that’s when she changed and started talking about swallowing kids and riding the D in the bathtub. How low all to stay relevant…
http://youtu.be/reNbbLSwRlE
Look that’s all you can say? Beyonce is more diverse. Bey killed Rihanna in the “ratchet” genre. That’s why she had to cone back yodeling over a contrived country pop mess of a song that wasn’t enough to carry her boring era. BBHMM ain’t making no noise either. B**** is done ????????????
http://youtu.be/uZRKUOf__94
You keep linking these boring, stale videos like someone cares. There’s nothing artsy, edgy, creative, or interesting about her. That’s why none of her music is popular! She is ONLY a dancing mannequin! She’s just down right corny. Sorry to break it to ya
Not a rihanna fan calling anything boring and stale.???? Did you not see those boring and stale videos below?? Beyonce can do a million times better in her sleep. Lmaoo I’m just showing you Beyonce is more diverse, is taken more seriously as an artist and has sold over 140 million records as a solo artist. Her music is surely known around the world. She got your fave so shook, she doesn’t even have a release date.
But correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t your fave stage and fake a pregnancy for almost a whole year to stay relevant? Like who does that? I wonder if Blue knows if Consuela the house maid is the real woman who carried her…Also, Rihanna has done country before like California King Bed, so 45S wasn’t anything new.
*above
Lmaoo you have nothing to say, so you resort to a ridiculous pregnancy rumor from 2011. If you believe that is true, you are as dumb as your fave for snorting cocaine on video for publicity. CKB was barely country. It was watered down pop with country undertones and had no impact on the country charts… Keep dreaming hun. ????????
You keep clinging to performances like they have a real cultural impact as they don’t! Beyonce doesn’t have at least ONE song that will be remembered amongst the masses in 20 years. And no, gender unidentifiable people who use words such as “hunty” and shop Ross count as the masses. She’s just a famous mannequin for Jay-Z to play dress up #DancingStageMonkey
The WHOLE world saw her stomach collapse when she sat down! She can’t even articulate when she speaks. Hey, since you’re so loyal to her, maybe you can get her to enroll to your Everest classes!
And the lies keep rolling in!! ???????? its getting pathetic honey. Beyonce is the one with 20 Grammy’s sweetheart. Let me guess Rude Boy, What’s my name, S&M and Monster will be deemed as timeless classics 20 years from now?? I’m crying???? Only people who will remember that mess are the little power bottom white twinks who will eventually move on to the next it pop girl. Rihanna is the one playing dress up. As that’s the only thing she can make headlines for now-a-days!????????????????
A mess.. Jus like the whole world saw Rihanna sniffing cocaine like a depressed junkie. I guess she saw her chart positions. Instead of saving up for that delayed album, the navy should stage an intervention and pay th rehab expenses before she ends up passed out dead in her bathtub????????????
Rockstars sniff cocaine. Only a mentally ill person stages a pregnancy and calls paparazzi to see her outfits. And no one really gives a F about Grammys especially when you’re able to buy them. The person who as the most George Solti, and you don’t even know him! Also, using a laughing emoji doesn’t actually make what you say funny; just corny and lame. But hey, at least you and you fave have something in common. #2008 #OldHag
Honey where are the receipts of Bey buying Grammy’s? Why cant Rihanna buy them too. i guess drf Jam’s payola expenses couldnt cover grammys as well.????Where is the receipt of Beyonce faking her pregnancy?? You are pathetic babe. Rihanna is done. Chris Brown will be getting a call real soon. As she always runs back to the “monster” for publicity
http://youtu.be/3FcSV0Fdf3A
Really doe really! you want a “receipt” on a viral video that was a gag reel for 2 months. We all know, even Blue herself by now, that Beyonce was never pregnant after the massive failure of “4.” We ALL know that Bey has embryo #2 in the freezer waiting for her next flop. If Bey Killed Rihanna by being ratchet then her songs would’ve actually charted. Bey can’t even get a song to chart in R&B so you know she can’t do anything else! She’s boring, old, and washed up. She’s the worn out prostitue in a brothel! Likewise, Birthday Cake and Pour It Up were #1 on urban contemporary radio, and now BBHMM is 8 and ascending, and urban is only 1 area that she dominates. I wonder if Bey even knows that RRihanna is an icon and international rockstar whereas Beyonce is a glorified backup dancer and a statement arm piece to a rapper.
Why do you continue to reply? I’ve already, dragged, stomped, and curb stomped both you and your fave.
In other news, congrats to Rihanna as “Hard” becomes her 22nd music video to garner 100 million views which is twice as much as any other artist! When will your fave come close? When will your fave find any originality? When will your fave be cemented as an icon? All the answers to questions will be revealed in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z…
Why are they posting about beyonce, .can someone answer?
Rihanna has had a very busy year and it continues if you are over her erA fine, im certainly not, it.hasnt even started.
I think it’s best if she just stopped performing AO live altogether
Thanx David for being the voice of reason, nice way to close snl. Its funny how there more succesfull u get the more haters u pick up the way. Nice one Rihanna
Bitxh betta have my crackpipe,bitxh betta have my crackpipe, bitxh betta have my crackpipe ;don’t act like u forgot it.I left my kilo sitting in the back of your foreign car. Cracked out coke s**** got her fans delusional like a mfer.Come on karma,do your job on hoebagg.
why are the stains so mad geez go back into your own thread
I bet no rihanna fan is in th er em behaving this way, they are definitely mentally disordered people
I hope they get better but please leave us and rihanna alone
Back on topic in such a racially charged place as America with its history of putting chains on people its naive and dangerous to adopt certain behaviors as a collective such as this so called hood life that is about engaging in behavior that leads to jail, the new slavery
We need to be about what oir ancestors were about and it was prospering through hard work ans education and ladies being ladies
What went wrong? How do we get nack on track particularly when you have people devoting their lives to promoting and supporting nonsense?
And they want to smear the navy and act like they behave like that mentally disordered hive, naw boo boos they on their own with that cray cray
Hope everyone saw home it was a cute movie, good too, with lots of meaning
Im def getting the dvd when it comes out, rihanna is doing the dern thing
Go Rih!
Non American singing about America. She should have put that video of her sniffing coke in that American Dream Video.
???????? aeswome performance
Does she think she’s the 90’s generation ?
