Rihanna battled her way out of bronchitis to blaze the BRIT Awards stage moments ago.
Opening with ‘ANTI’ cut ‘Consideration,’ the Roc Nation model pressed on to whine-inducing ‘Work’ – for which she was joined by rapper Drake.
After cancelling at the Grammys, how did Rih fare with her first major performance since’s her album’s arrival?
Watch below to find out…
Ms. Fenty’s frilly outfit certainly aided the commendable choreography and provided just enough distraction from those McFried vocals. Why is she still sounding like a goat stuck on an electric fence?
In any case Drake was a welcome addition and provided noteworthy “choreo” of his own.
Cute.
Yaaaaaas slay you sluuuuut!!!
Drake corn ball a** bowed down to her at the end like she just put on a Show! You can go to MAGIC CITY -and any other strip clubs and see woman twerking under red s** lights and reggae music… ??? a complete “WTH” look on my face the entire time! Good for her! PS her fans are always so proud for s*** like this ?????
Then go to magic city b**** yall up in your feelings that rih past Michael Jackson black people mad
Cici a flop
Cici can put on a better performance though
Soooo, we just gon act like samatha didn’t just stump Rhi Rhi’s pusssy in on this post with what he wrote? Ok.
that was bad. JUST BAD. SHE ONLY SING 10% AND LET THE TRACK DO THE REST.
SHE IS SINKING.
…….No talent.
Lmaooooooo
On a non bias opinion, the reason for Riri lack of performance comes from not being a perfectionist. She doesn’t take the time or energy into practicing or training her vocals, dancing, or anything for that matter. Bey, MJ, Janet, Prince including the greats like James Brown always kept practicing their art to perfect it.
And this is my biggest issue with her. Rih has some truly great pop anthems but her inconsistency with being able to bring them to life on stage frustrates me. The greats recognized their strengths and worked HARD at it. Janet knew she was not a major vocalist so she capitalized on her dance talent whereas Whitney, the polar opposite, gave show-stopping vocal performances after another. Bey may not have the athleticism of a Janet or the dynamic power and stunning beauty Whit had to her vocal tone but you can tell how she’s grown in leaps and bounds since we first saw her in 1998. Rihanna has shown glimmers of excellence here and there (Stay at SNL, 4/5 Seconds at 2015 Grammys and a few more) but they’re overall few and far between.
@Coolness exactly. She has become too lazy and I don’t think anyone is pushing her as an artist/performer like they should have from the start of her career. Cuz you would think with all the hits she has, performing them live would be an amazing experience and bring so much more meaning to the songs. I loved when Whitney would rearrange her entire songs live to suit her emotions, that way fans feel more connected to her and the feeling.
Well, she’s an amazing hit-maker. Some people just aren’t meant for the stage. And that’s okay… She reminds me of Mariah Carey, a hit-maker, greatest on studio, flails on stage compared to her peers.
SLAYED!!!!!!!! LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
She’s looks desperate twerking all over Drake.
U mad??
@LB
I guess you have X-RAY Vision ????? because you couldn’t see “EVERYTHING” to say EVERYTHING SLAYYED! I’m starting to think the 6 Rih fans on this site are apart of her “Noneexistant” Label ???? but she SLAYYED tho!! Lol???
lmfao Sam if you actually start being a PROFESSIONAL, UNBIASED journalist, maybe you’ll be at the Brits one day
Ooop! Lmao ?☕️
Haters gonna hate. Sam will always be in the parking lot, while the real journalist are front row, until he starts going to therapy for his Rihanna obsession, he will not be taken seriously. Everyone needs to not feed into his negatively and stop these Stan war’s. Each artist is different in their own right. Let the post be about the Artist mentioned, not about who’s better than who. But I guess that would require some type of maturity. I don’t know about you, but these celebrities don’t pay any of my bills, so I’m going to argue about them. Rather you like them are not, they’re making millions and don’t give a s*** about any of us.
I didn’t expect her to open with consideration though, SLAY!!!!
Yaaaas at Rihanna for giving that girl exposure!! Shes always putting people on #MikkyEkko #CalvinHarris #Sza.
MikkyEkko is currently employed at mcdonalds cleaning grills…
This girl makes good music, but never puts in effort to perform it! Shes such a lazy s***
Slayedddddd
Those vocals!!! No shade but Rih can not hold a note or tune to save her life! And that is something the Navy cannot deny! And I actually love ANTi…The transition from Consideration to Work was cool AF though
Would you ever respect me? No!
LOVED every second of it. Bae forever!
Drake did a great job…
wasn’t that bad. 🙂
Kii battled her way out of “bronchitis” more like partied her way out of bronchitis ??????
That wasn’t bad for her standards tbh
She did that! I loved that she gave 2 artists a chance to shine on stage with her. <3
Ps; It doesn't take to a genius to realize what happens "after the jump" with TGJ. 😉
Standing ovation, everyone was rocking to Work.
Sooooo boring. She has no talent.
But she does have talent
B**** where?
Everywhere. She has talent.
Kudos to Rihanna for always putting people on and giving them their shine. First Mikky Ekko, Sia and now Sza.
‘
Work work work work work
Bro. She didn’t put Sia on. Sia was on before Rihanna
Her vocals were fine. They were just shaky because she couldn’t find the balance between the singing and dancing. It was a GOOD performance. One not so great vocal performance and y’all wanna talk about she can’t sing or has no tune. I AM TIRED. We all have a different ear for things. Oh well it’s whatever. At the end of the day, she’s still successful and will continue winning.
She looked as stiff as a cricket batt whining up on drake like that.
LOL at the pressed H**+ not caring about Rihanna but have SOOO much to say about her and that pressed Jackie character need not say anything while stanning Ciara
Sweetie Ciara would bury Rihanna performance wise. You know it and everyone else does too
LOVED the visuals. SZA was obviously far away from her but because of the genius of lighting, she looked like wasn’t. Vocally, she sounded squeaky and out of breath on some parts because you could hear her gasping in between notes. Ever since ‘Work’ came out, I’ve been imagining how it’ll be performed live because I love how it inspires me to whine down, lol. For the most part, the choreography delivered but I guess this was typical Rih.
Death at Little Mix performing after her and slaying her.
Kiii!!!
Little actually did really good .
Kinda surprising lol
The performance served its purpose as Rihanna is not known to be a show stopping performer she did alright considering Work is not a vocal masterpiece it is a fun dance pop reggae tune so I didn’t expect a real vocal master class but the performance was cool overall big up to Sza and Drake for being apart of the moment.
Rihrih on fire, excellently done. Simple nice & perfect. no fish net to hide thunder thigh cellulite, no clapping & gyration, flipping wig left & right unlike a certain artist called thighyonce. Bow down to king rih
Like how does she still suck after all these years? She still does not know how to command a stage. She’s so dry and lifeless. I can’t with this coconut.
How come your favorite ain’t had a certified album since 2006?
Anti sold 500k ww yet sis?
I Bet went platinum and Cici didn’t have to lie about it either
And yet she got a standing ovation
What’s that supposed to mean?
19K
Anti will outsell every album Ciara has released for the last decade by December. Bookmark me.
Of course it will. Rihanna has companies buying her albums and then lying about it. Bloop!
Should she have lip synced like yall favorite do? Kii
The more I watch this performance again and again, the more I fall in love with Drake.
‘
Drake is daddy as f***, damn….he is just babe.
I know for sure.
Yassssss!! She slayed.. Especially considering this type of song is very chilled! ?
her vocals… I can’t believe the little dancing she is doing is causing her to have to pause so much. I just don’t understand.
That’s what I’m saying. This is her f****** job and im hearing her breath hard af. They song aiin’t even that difficult and with a single p**** pat and slow wine coupled with a twerk.
LOL @ “They song aiin’t even that difficult and with a single p**** pat and slow wine coupled with a twerk”.
I know right I mean Bytch how can you struggle on such a vocaly basic song
The song is not vocally demanding, not even for Rhi. (No shade). But it was said that she had not been well and it definitely sounds like she is actually recovering from bronchitis. I didn’t believe it when it was stated, but from a person who has had bronchitis, and sings regularly, I believe it now.
I wanted her to perform Kiss It Better or Love On The Brian
those 3 should be the next singles !
* 2
THOSE VOCALS NEED A LOT OF ‘WORK WORK WORK WORK’.
Just like you have to work work work work to become a lawyer. It doesn’t happen just bc you imagine it.
LOL! AREU MAD????. SHE WAS NOT EVEN DANCING THAT HARD AND SHE OUT OF BREATH…A LEGEND INDEED!!!
lmao why does the hive think dancing hard = dancing well?
R u mad bc u know ur not a real lawyer? Wat lawyer goes around slandering commentators knowing they can go to jail for that?
Lmfaoooooooooo???????? #TheFknTruth
Love the song & the performance, but the singing was not on point
there was no lip syncing or whispering
My eyes watered I have been waiting.Unlike Beyoncé she will sing and dance and BE put of breath she slayed consideration..I see it slaying over seas. QUEEN IS BACK
Ain’t that it! Queen of NOT Lip syncing ??
Decent… BUT will this SAVE TICKETS???????? $432 >>>> $190… “THIZ WHISKEY GOT ME REALLY FLOPPING… ♩ ♪ ♬ ♭ UNSOLD & CANCELETD OUT SHOWS… ♩ ♪ ♬ ♭ I JUST REALLY NEED A #1 HIT… SORRY BOUT THE OTHER NIIIGHT. AND I KNOW I CAN BE MORE CREATIVE & STOP GETTING HIGH OF CHRIS’ COCAIN, BUT I REALLY NEED MY FANS TO PURCHASE THEM DUSTY TICKETS… THATS ONLY THING STOP ME FROM GOING INSANE. YOU CAUGHT ME FLOOOOOOOPING FLOOPPING LIKE NEVA BEFORE BABE, I WISH I COULD GO BACK TO 2008. I JUST REALLY NEED SUM RELAVAAAANCAY I WISH I WAS JUST MORE TALEEEENTED, I WISH I COULD BE MORE LIKE BEYOOOOOOOOOOON-SAY.” ♩ ♪ ♬ ♭ ♩ ♪ ♬ ♭ ♩ ♪ ♬ ♭
If she repeated the same dance moves,outfits,songs,hair,looks,and backing tracks,and tried to be perfection which isn’t real minus those backing tracks she could
I don’t think the Brits are here for watching Riri get bummed on stage by Drake.
So navy this y’all girl ??? I cannot at the low standard you guys have talking about she slayed, the only good thing about that performance were the lighting that has be done and redone by Beyoncé anyway. The whole thing was boring and low energy I don’t care if work isn’tthat much of an uptempo it’s just as slow as baby boy yet Beyoncé always managed to bring fire whenever she performs it. No wonder she was forced to postpone and downsize her tour. who would want to sit through hours of lazy choreography goat vocals and total lack of stamina???
Poor Frih.. bey gets SUPER DOME… She gets the GRITS AWARDS. MAYBE THIS SELLS OUT THE TOUR? It has been 3 months since on sale. J/S
She sure is bad asff. The outfit slays. But damn she still cant perform for her dear life.
This is as good a performance as we’ll get from her. Sadly. And why do I think that she cancelled the Grammy’s cause she couldn’t come up with 2 different ideas for such a one dimensional song lol. She looked cute though.
I LOVED IT.
.
Everytime I hear ‘WORK’, I lose it. That minimalist dancehall song is so bad-ass!
.
Drake was cute too, as usual.
.
Great performance overall.
Rihanna + Stage = ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
Yessssss! Cactus DRY!
Ciara + stage = n/a
Ciara+ stage equals DYNAMITE!
What stage?
Yall will just accept anything you are so starved. It’s soo pathetic. This should be a form of abuse against stans.
Nobody deserves this s*** and then you feel like you have to hold it in such high esteem because she has deprived you of anything of quality for so long. #Pray4theNavy
How is she out of breath and she didn’t even do anything? She is basically talking
Thats was boring performance wise BUT I still done a skin up dance just because lol.
Little Mix came for the slay crown all in formation
I liked the performance but the vocals sucked. But I liked how she opened with consideration it would’ve been better if she opened with kiss it better. But overall the performance was exactly what I expected. I still can believe she still can’t sing while doing those baby two steps. I love Rihanna but she really needs a stage coach or something. It’s been 11 year now Rih get it together
I personally loved the preformance and almost wished that it had been the video concept (the second one at least)
Over 10 years later and she’s still basic af! The production was good though which is of no merit for her.
Can we all bow our heads for a moment of silence for Rihanna and the Navy. These fools really believe this bish is a legend. Can we smart folks all pray for them?
@LB, Ciara is going on tour this summer. I suggest your girl Riri tale notes on how a real performer gets down
Cute. I’m sure those little ballrooms will be full of people ?. Good for her #Jackie
Yep. Maybe Riri can join her since she can’t sell out stadiums
BLOOP! Read these b****** Cinnamon Girl??
Sit.. Cinnamon girl read herself. When she decided to Stan for Ciara ?
I love the dance routine but vocals were shaky.I still think she is a good live performer, she has potential. I loved her BBHMM, 45s ,AO performances more than this.This is definitely not her best.
What type of wack s*** is this man!!
It’s a NO from me!

I loved every second of it. The chemistry between Rihanna and Drake is magical.
What chemistry? All she did was grind her b*** into his crotch. Anyone can do that
Troll, did you even watch the video? Girl worry about Ciara selling out those toilet stalls on the Jackie Bathroom Summer tour.
????? bathroom stalls summer tour … BYE
bathroom stalls summer tour … coming to a city near you. LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
I can’t with SweetBrownHanna lying about having Bronchitis LMAO!!! No good doctor would have to told her to perform at any show whatsoever for at least four weeks… IF it were true. Where’s your doctor’s note fRIH?
Consideration is a bop. Love that song.
I love rihanna but I can tell she was strugglingoing. at timesome she sounded horrible but when she actually caught her breath is when she sounded good. she was kind of stiff too. Not the worst performance but far from her decent ones.
I think she was really sick but it’s okay at least she performed. love work and consideration. hopefully her future performances are better
struggling times*
@ sweetbrownANNAsweetbrownANNA #SCREAMING aintnobodygottime4POSTPONE-anna lol
For Rihanna standards it was ‘good’. Vocals still sounds excruciating but overall I was moreso impressed by the stage effects.
She has access to the best of the best, but can’t/ won’t seem to perfect 1. VOCALS 2. STAGE PRESENCE. I wonder if she’ll be happy, looking back on her career and if she’ll be proud 10+ years from now.
Best performance of the night in my opinion ….this is way better than beyonce’s super bowl performance. Rihanna sounded better than ever and easily out danced beyonce .
She is coming for that legend title for sure .
I’ll give it a 5.Reminds me of Beyoncé billboard awards performance a lil. She could’ve slays this performance no shade.
it wasnt her best vocal performance but she blazed the stage. I loved the choreaography, production and overall energy of the performance. SLAYYYYYY
You stan for two non singing, non performing ass h***. Have a seat.
The nerve for a c ciara fan to come for a legend like mariah..girl have you no fear?
I won’t defend Mariahs current voice for I’ve heard it live in 2015 for myself and she sounds good. Now that Ciara? I’ll just leave it at that and sip on this coffee
Coming from a Mooriah Carey fan you donot know the meaning of a good performance.
@Cinnamon you might wanna fact check that girl, MC has tons of good live performances. Live albums that are MULTIPLATINUM and everything. Fact check is your friend, miss thing
https://youtu.be/D7NfrGsi27U
Death. Mariahs hey day was the 90s and she hasn’t been able to hold a note SINCE. Please have a seat.
Ciara needs to make room for your girl Riri in those bathroom stalls cause Flopanna’s tour is not selling well
@Centurion Ciara needs to make room for your girl Riri in those bathroom stalls because Flopanna’s tour sales are dismal
This performance gives me the same feeling I get when I go to McDonalds and the fries are cold, the nuggets are stale and the soda is flat. She couldn’t even win a high school talent show with this stiff dance/flat vocal combo number 6 SUPERSIZED.!everything about this performance was professional and top notch except the “singer/performer”. Def not.
funny.. that is how I feel whenever I watch a beyonce performance. intro then choreography/lipping then screaming into the mic. when you see one then you have seen them all
@MariahtheLegend
Has Mooriah’s corny Vegas shows sold out yet? Bloop
Mooriah stays booked unlike Manara
@Shakira stan, Who is Shakira? Is she some type of Indian bollywood star?
Girl..
1) shakira > ciara
2) who stans for ciara?
3) what are you stanning for her?
Yeah she is a Lebanese who crossed over to USA based on pure talent and her career is 100 times bigger than your fav with over 70 million albums sold biggest hit tracks of the century and a networth of 250 dollars .
Not to mention she looks beautiful and like a real woman not the transgender you Stan for.
Now bye !
Does she have the Zika v****? I heard it’s popular in South America
Doesn’t ciara haveAids?
I heard gay men have that v**** alot….and she is kinda dating one now
@Cough cough. I’m not talking about singing, I’m talking about dancing, performing
@Forehead fierce, coming from someone who stans for a drug addicted, talentless yodeling goat
Smh people will do and say anything to discredit this woman ..first she’s bad for canceling the Grammy’s because she’s ill and now she comes out and tries to perform while sick and that’s not good enough either? I mean if you can’t tell she’s I’ll by listening to this then idk what to say..she was breathing funny before she even started..smh
Please stop. Rihanna partied hard on her birthday. She is not sick. You navy need to stop being so stupid and delusional. She is an overrated celebrity. That’s it and that’s all
We all know you’re FutureCiara or Molly/Jackie
Your mama the moment she told your
dad not to put on condom and allowed you into existence …is when she became stupid and delusional.
She did ok like a C+
Ciara has no record label @cinnamonswirl
@Mimi Carey. And Mariah Carey is performing at Vegas venues like the other washed up singers
@Shakira stan,
Your girl Shakira is looking a bit thin. She night want to get checked out for that Zika v****
Ciara stans are so stupid. She’s not even an artist anymore… Just a baby mama ????
And what is Rihanna? A lazy drug addicted yodeling goat?
OAN, I still don’t know who the hell Shakira is
Your trying so hard to make a name for yourself. But everyone will just see you as Molly and FutureJanetCiaras understudy.
Britney Spears says she loves Ciara. They went on tour together and had a good time so you’re just making a fool out of yourself by bashing Ciara
Rihanna and Britney have a #1 hit together. Ciara aint s***
After 10 years, she still has potential. LMAO!!!!!!!! It was bad. Please be honest. Call it what it it. I like rhino, I do but I know her vocals are mediocre and her songs r good. I won’t be paying money to c that forehead in person tho. Not I!!!!!!!!! LOL. Navy if you’re in denial please, please, please speak with an ear, nose and throat doctor to assist you in seeing the reality.
Rihanna slayed and Ciara still can’t book a stage.
And Rihanna still can’t sell out stadiums
Ciara can’t sellout a kfc parking lot.
But Ciara can’t even sell out high school gymnasiums … ?
Riri ‘s about to joint Ciara on tour because that Anti tour is an epic flop. Maybe she can open for Beyonce.
Kiiii Cinnamon Girl is dragging! I don’t know where she came from but I live! Drag these bottom b****** sis!
Can you believe the nerve of these Rhitards trying to Drag Ciara when they stan for this talentless lying bish who can’t put on a decente pperformance if her life dependeson it. And that Britney stan needs to crawl back under a rock and die because they are pituful. Britney loves Ciara
@Britney stan,
And Britney still loves Ciara. So you don’t count
I swore she was going to kill it. I swore she
was going to make me love this song. I was even feeling the whole red light thing. I swore she was going to slay. Then she gave me struggle ass vocals and a grandma dutty whine.
Rihanna’s note during the drake verse, very disappointing, and that’s one of my favorite parts on the song.
Usually, artists have a plethora of great performances to pick from, but rih on the other hand……….
I lowkey got my life during the consideration performance lol I’m not going to lie that’s transition to work had me like “ok Rih Rih”
It’s love hate relationship with Rih on one hand she has good beats/songs and is gorgeous but then she’s a bad performer and arrogant. I just dnt get why anybody would stan for her when you know that you could get on stage and do what she does at the same level, or maybe her fans think their not as pretty and stylish so u cant get “the look” right. It’s plenty of artist/performers who would love your attention but you rather gove it to someone who just doesn’t care about anything but herself.
I read the comments before I watched the video and I must say that hate for Rihanna is real including you Sam who stans for ciaras tired ass vocals. Rihanna slayed ⛵⛵⛵
What exactly did she slay though?
Y’all hatig bug hives should stfu, rihanna did an excellent performance. Oldyonce should learn from rihanna how to dress on stage. If rihanna is gonna perform I wait in curiosity & excitment to see her performance & what she will wear cos her stage dressing is a fashion moment unlike Beyonce which y’all already know will turn up wearing leotad fishnet same blond hair & same ugly back up dancers & same dance routine.everything Beyonce predictable, u already know she will be clapping her thunder thigh & gyrating on stage.
Just like we knew Rihanna was gonna have horrible vocals and basic choreography, and stay out of breath. Like its a 4 minute song. Get it together rih. She needs to come harder.
Why does the HD version sounds good? Tgj video plays sucks
https://youtu.be/SQWqksdE4gw
Sure! Blame TGJ that’s more convenient.
@Tyler lmfao! The Navy always tryna bail frih out! Thats also an upload to Cheatannas Vevo channel. We all know they tweaked the vocals. That bish voice was horrible through the live stream point blank! Lile I said i don’t know why frihanna made an album that focuses on vocals. We already know she can’t nor will she ever produce those vocals live! Poor 45head wants to be critically acclaimed so bad! ??
Yup! Her team tweaked the pitch. That’s the first thing that came to mind haha
I liked this performance. I like it a lot. Although Rihanna isn’t a vocalist she sound better than Ciara. That’s certain. We all know Beyonce is now the live performance standard but remember, before she came out, no one danced hard like her. Bey’s hard hitting choreo is her stylistic approach. Rih is capable and started off approaching her live shows this way but her brand shifted. The chilled, urban hipster vibe is apart of her M.O. as one who appreciates dance, it’s clear the woman has natural rhythm and coordination. And she’s naturally fluid but bc being a Janet / Bey isn’t her aim she choose not to work hard adding those elements to her live shows. Much like Aaliyah, Rih can move but will probably always hit her moves easy and chilled. It fits the brand. Because she’s a pop star w/ the rock star mentality she’s forced to add movement to many of her live showings. I’m glad. I love seeing her move…especially when it’s island kissed. Her vocals could have been a tad stronger but everything else worked…and well.
I want to see kiss it better with some dance for you choreo but a tad more edgy and with island flare. Yeah… Good job Rih.
Much like Aaliyah?
I don’t even Stan for Aaliyah and I even find that insulting tbh.
Aaliyah wasn’t a vocalist but she was recognized for her choreo…
Rhianna won’t be remembered for either
I still don’t think Beyonce sings totally live
And….
Beyonce still has chops. Unlike Rhianna, she can actually sing very well.
Weak.
Your avi slays!! I loved that hair on her!! She completely destroyed Glastonburys stage that night and set the Bar for future pop acts to grace the Iconic stage!
lol, I posted the HD video. Bye haters, stay mad. That 200/200 blood pressure tho. lol
Annnnd the vocals are still tweaked BLOOP! ????
The delusion. The tgj edit everyone on stage sounds bad. But do what you must. I’m not here to help you.
The nerve of this closeted faaggg to speak of delusion. The vocals are tweaked point blank and you’re just going to have to deal! Lmfao!!
Low quality stream < 1080p HD video. Maybe your 3rd world budget phones can't handle it. Poor you. lol
Marsha i keep telling you stop venting about your life on TGJ. You done embarrassed yourself earlier this month when you said you could only afford to eat at Red Lobster seasonal based on your salary KIII!!!!
Honestly she didn’t sound terrible. She sounded identical to the record she just does nothing to bring her songs to life. There’s no spark in her eyes and no energy. She was a much better performer in the early days of her career but her vocals were terrible, and now that her vocals have improved she’s a subpar performer. I don’t get it.
Wow, that was just awful! She appears so lazy on stage, like she wants to go to sleep. I think I have seen 5th grade recitals that were more entertaining. This was just horrible!
The performance was nice not that bad
She so fat and stiff. Why American put p** in a wig on stage?
THAT WAS A FUN PERFORMANCE TO WATCH I ENJOYED THAT . RIHANNA DID NOT NEED DRAKE TO MAKE THIS A #1 HIT
