After a slew of postponements and push-backs, Rihanna finally launched her ‘ANTI World Tour’ in Jacksonville, Florida last night.
The Bajan sensation has much to make up to fans following the rockiest of roll-out’s for the trek and its housing album ‘ANTI.’
Hoping to right the well-documented wrongs, the 28-year-old journyed through smashes such as ‘Diamonds’ and ‘Umbrella,’ as well as tackling newer numbers ala ‘Work’ and ‘Kiss It Better.’
Per the array of costumes, the production is unsurprisingly pleasing to the eye. What about the ear, though? Find out below…
Sadly, Rih once again sounded like struggle and stress, case in point the footage below.
It’s shocking that she’s still being allowed (by both her team and the public) to phone in these performances.
Truth be told, there’d be little to harp on about if what she exhibits was the length and breadth of her ability. Yet, next to never does it ever feel like she’s turning in her heartiest effort.
Instead, it seems like a matter of “lemme give one lazy whine and a lazier vocal and punch right on to the next city.”
Said mindset is wack and, by the looks of it, so too is this tour.
