The part time model ‘sang’ her hit ‘Russian Roulette’ as well as her new single ‘Hard’ with rapper Young Jeezy. Peep the performances as well as her hilarious ‘SNL Digital Short‘ below:

HORRIBLE !!!!
lmao i hate her voice but this shytt was funny.
Hmmm. I cannot lie. Some of her facial expressions just weren’t doing it.
That said, she’s still not at the level she was here:

That note at 2:50 shatters anything she’s done for this comeback. :/ You can tell she’s got a voice but she’s lacking in technique quite a bit. I wish she’d have prepared more for the live performances for this album because despite what people say, while she’s not too great of an all-around performer, she doesn’t have nearly that bad of a voice and has grown to be a capable singer. Not a sanger, but a singer.
Don’t get me wrong though. This performance was the definition of subpar, but I still like her album and am waiting for her to step her vocal game up like she did before. People are giving other stars who went through public disasters room to get their head back in the game so Rihanna should get a chance too.
I wish I could go back in time an undo this whole performance. For the first 15 secs I was telling my roomie that she sounded aight (according to Rihanna’s standards alone) and then she hit that sharp ass not…that is not’s what’s hot.
She does however look stunning.
she did well….people will hate on another person no matter what…it’s sad really, but to the guy who did this site…people already kno’ ur gonna say something NOT good about her performance, but if beyonce’s ”ass shaking ass” was doing a peformance u would be praising her wack ass….
so whatever the case may be rihanna still doing her and getting more famous so…lol…she saying f*** the haters
I like rihanna but i honestly think she should have had another first single, like “Rude boy” or “stupid in love” it would suit her more!!!! but other than that keep it up ma! GO RI RI lol
I’ma be positive on this Rihanna post and say that her skit on SNL where she was lip-sycning that heavily auto-tuned little ditty in a classroom … she sounded nice 😀
Constructive criticism: yelling does not equal hitting the note
why is she still performing this song? she needs to be promoting “hard” instead.
its a typical rihanna performance! it doesnt get any better than this! give her credit for persistence!
Where’s Hard + the funny skit
B**** your slow as sin.
It’s one thing to not like an artist but its another to consistently bash them over and over again. I don’t think her vocal performances were horrible, but what were you expecting? For 1993 Whitney Houston to pop up on that ass and shut it down?
this b**** think she grace jones..smh!
Stunning, she looks so f***** beautiful. -P.S. somebody tell her to stop singing through her nose, but the vocal is an improvement from her past showings
She really shouldn’t perform this song live. She can’t do it. It requires too much of her vocally. At the Hammerstein show she sounded much better with Hard and Wait Is Ova. Leave the power ballads to the strong singers. But, as always, she looked good.
i kinda like it
For Rihanna standards, it wasn’t that bad. She’s like a mannequin on stage and just stands there; maybe because if she moves too much her small voice will croak. Her voice just sounds too much like scratching on a blackboard. I guess we can be thankful she kept her tits in check.
She definately needs to stop singing from her nose and use her chest, diaphram and throat more it will help her so much, she has a voice it aint no leona but it could work better if she took a damn vocal lesson and learned to sing correctly.
its a typical rihanna performance! it doesnt get any better than this! give her credit for persistence..
========================
cosign…imo, i think its time that she just gives it up…this was beyond boring!!!
Rihanna was wonderful tonite …in everyway! Rihanna you are a star and I support you 200%… Go Ri Ri
her facial expressions are killing me softly..lol
(say something nice challenge), Mmm at least that thing hids her hair.
her mic matches her gloves
suddenly everyone is a voice/singing critic LOL! I dont listen to pop music expecting OPERA! And I do lsiten to Opera! And not everyone wants GOSPEL inspired shouting!
why dont we do this on all the hip hop artists such as Keysha Cole , Ashanti, Janet, J lo, etc etc…
Yall need to be fair !
Rihanna you are a star never forcget that …!
I’m not a fan of Rihanna, but she did do a good job, this is the best I heard her sing!!!! I will give credit where it is due!! She not a hell of a singer, but she did her thing!!! I feel bad for her almost cuz it’s like she was a victim, and she was hurt my Chris!! This s*** is starting to not make sense anymore, there is so much to be reveled, but this will go away at some point!!! DV is not a joke, a lot of women lose there lives behind men f****** them up!!!!!!!!!
she is counting her paper whilst haters sit on thier computer and hate, i dont think riri gives a s*** what haters think. keep counting the papers girl. and by the way her figure is out of this world.
Okay we get it everybody….Rhianna is not a vocal beast like Brandy or Monica but give credit when it is due……I am not the biggest Rhianna fan but she sounded just like the way that the song was recorded. I thought she did a decent job…..
if rihanna didnt give a s*** about what others think, she wouldnt read these blogs. when r they going to stop trying 2 saturate us with her and her horribleness and move on 2 the next artist who has taken their oath, dont they deserve some airtime as well? ENUFF of this b****….PUHLEASE!
Yass come on shade… RiRi sounded good, IDK why yall have to hate…she was pretty much pitch perfect, yes she could have had more presence and attitude whiel singing but she sounded good.
the skit was funny! =)
wooow i loved it , seriously loved it , the attitude , the style everything was on point !
and i have to say she sounded pretty well , Go Riri , i can’t believe i’m saying this , but i’m becoming a fan !!! Russian Roulette is my s*** !!!!!!
Ps: I realy don’t like her new hair cut that we saw in the pictures for the hard video !!!
My favorite was when she was in that 20/20 Interview / Russian Roulette Single Cover it was FIERCA’ !!!
I dont care how pretty she looked…….that outfit was not cute….that pose at the end was ridiculous…..and she sounded not so well.
Is she pretty….hell yes
Can she dress……hell hell yeah
Can she sing…HELL NAW
I don’t know what you watched, that was the best performance of RR she’s done, it was really controlled and she did good! By the way I have no idea why this is even posted since the site masters hate Rihanna what is the point in making new topics solely to knock the girl?
That skit was funny lol!! Her performance was HOTT and she was Stunning!!
my girl!
The best karaoke singing I’ve EVER heard! 😀
SHE DID GREAT
SAMA WHERE THE HATER POST AT

good job rhi rhi.. no geat job..
i loved bith performances & the skitt so cute..
i like when she sings where dem blog gurls @ where them blog girls @..
she aint sweetin yall..
keep gettin that coin hun!!!!!!!!!
She should definitely be performing and promoting hard. She is sounding better. I think she sings this song to show that she can sing, but lil does she knows is that she can’t.
rihanna did the damn thing. The three performances were great. Russian roulette, her voice sounded strong, hard was confident, and her skit was very nice. Rihanna did a good job and that show last night, and she looked beautiful too. But the haters would never admit she did her thing.
@music critic, you ain’t never lie. couldn’t have said it better myself.
It’s so great that Rih is improving. She did much better here. Well done Miss Rihanna. Keep it up.
What exactly does “review will be up shortly” mean?
I believe you said the yesterday but yet you’ve moved onto posting other stories.
The chains on her head were WRONG. People bashed Alicia Keys for wearing something similar, but, as usual, Rihanna gets a pass.
The pose at the end was dumb, and she probably knows it.
The vocals are average/good, but the song isn’t exactly hard to sing, so big deal.
Why does the band insist on drowning her out during every performance? They even do it on the CD!
She looks bored…
And what about this whole Charlemagne atire ?!
Sad… For real Rih you have everything to succeed…go get it before it’s too late…
i kinda disagree with all of ya’ll that think this was a bad performance. personally i think this was one of her best live performance of this song. She does need to brush it up a bit in general … but this performance i think was great! 😀
dead @ attempted singer…dnt understand what people mean by she has improved?? smh at the low standards and she still sounds the same..
ok finally watched the snl skit and dnt understand when say it was hilarious??? ok then, moving right along…liked the track actually..like someone said it was better the rihannas whole album…
now onto more serious stuff..that new haircut of rihannas makes her look a man…i was looking for her adams apple the wholw time..lol…i know its there..and why is she so STIFF>>>> smh..this is a classic example of people throwin money at zero talent..what justifies this??? this is criminal what LA RIED is doing to talented artists in dej jam..smh
she surprised me in this. her performance ability isnt as bad as you say, sam. is that maybe why you didnt respond, cuz she just proved you wrong? lol, i’m no fan of rihanna, but i gotta say i enjoyed these 3 performances. the skit was actually funny and her vocals are getting better.
still hate how she playin gangsta all of a sudden in her performances of hard…fame has really gotten to her head 😛
@WTF
SHUT THE F** UP…UR A F****** HATER IF I EVER HEARD ONE…DAM GIT OFF HER C***. SHE SOUNDED GREAT IN THESE PERFORMANCES EVEN SAM’S B**** ASS MUST THINK SO BECAUSE HE DIDNT EVEN WRITE A REVIEW WHICH PROVES HOW MUCH OF A HTER HE REALLY IS….RIHANNA MUST HAVE DENIED A INTERVIEW WIT THIS LAME ASS BLOG BECAUSE THEY ARE UPSET OVA HERE LMAO. RIHANNA SHUD HOWWEVER DO MORE CHOREOGRAPHY BUT HEY SHE STILL SLAYIN THESE H***..AND BEAT LADY GAGA’S SUK ASS GENERIC ALBUM ON THE BILLBOARDS. SO F*** OFF HATERS..GET THAT S*** BISH!!! IF RIHANNA AINT THAT BADDEST B**** ON TOP RIGHT NOW WHO IS??/ CUZ IT FOR DAM SURE AINT OLD ASS BEYONCE..SHE BEEENNNN PLAYED. SHE NEED TO SIT HER ASS DOWN FOR GOOD.
I’m laughing my ass off did RIHANNA try to dance a lil at 1:25 mark on the song hard? she did good with the first song her voice improved but with the song hard not so much she was standing and walking around like when does the song end but that skit was funny ass hell shy Ronnie! lol the beat was sick anyway she just needs stage present the rest will fall in place u got to either be a good dancer or a good singer or have something to fall on example Ciara can’t just blow but her ass can dance ms. keys has the piano and she never dances but she did on the AMA and still did good mary j can’t dance either but can at least can learn a quick routine for a song and do good
i like when Rihanna sings with her accent..cuz it doesnt sound too bad..and shes mad pretty and im not even a fan of hers o(.^_^.)o
and her skit was funny lol
It would’ve been nice for her to actually sing and not depend on Backtracking and lipsyncing like she did. You cant give her a sounding good cause it was with help and prerecorded.
@ WTF …..cosign 100%
watch the stans come after us saying we a hater, for telling the damn true..smh at her haircut..
i think her hair suppose to be a distraction, for her non talent a**….
Why wont you let rihanna be great?!! lol…say something nice challenge of the weekend:hmmm her hair looks good!!! 😀
You know the funny part? Rihanna makes her stans sound like a complete idiot! She lip synced a skit, a skit!!! Then she cut RR short cause she could not pull it off and come back and sing another song, on HARD she used so much bactracking and she lip synced and them poor backup singers who should get all the credit for the good sining is just crazy, but y’all wanna blame others for not going along with this farce and actually gets up set when people addres it! We will not go into them outfits from star trek!
OMG! That skit was HILARIOUS lol
i was only talkin bout liking the track on the “Shy Ronnie” skit..her live performance i couldnt even watch all of it..n that is so true the song on “Shy Ronnie” was better than her album..lol..damn shame..she’s still pertty o(.^_^.)o
Despite her performance on X-Factor, her album sales in the U.K. have caused her to drop her position on the album charts to # 19….
@ ITS ME AGAIN..for real? damn sucks for her.. I also read somewhere that her album is also dropping on the us charts 2..
I thought white people loved her? where they at? y are they not buying rihanna’s album?
i thought she was gonna end up like britney spears..the whites loved britney till she started neglecting her children, doing drugs, showing her c****** daily..
but after britney clean up her act, her album circus sold bout 500,000 first week.
rihanna on the other hand got her a** beat, and yet the whites not buying her album…
things like that makes me think…lol
every time i watch rihanna’s live perfomances, they always seems boring. yes her outfits are nice, but thats it.
she should have improve in her live perfomances, this is her 3rd album.
her singing got better (i give props, when props is due).
i think people are starting to get turn off by her, thats y her album flopping
@ whu Rihanna’s album is still in the top 20. Still a pretty good showing for any artist. You all need to worry about the ones who ain’t make it on the charts, and leave ri ri ALONE. Don’t worry about her fans, didn’t they show you all before with her first three albums that they have her back? YOu guys didn’t help her debut in the top 5, so why are you worrying about her position. If you hate her so much, why worrry about what she is doing or not doing? Leave rihanna for her fans, we stay holding her down!
The SNL Short is funny as…SHY RODNEY!
