Surprised that its so few pictures….
but
THis video IS GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!!!!!!! 8-) ;-) :-)) :-)) :-))
RIHANNA & KANYE KILLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To hear Rihanna's voice live at a concert (better than ever) REMINDS ME WHY I LOVE RIHANNA IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think she might had a little more vocal trainging while recording her new CD! If so, then it has gone even better during these months!!!!!!!! RIHANNA KILLED IT (like I said) she is SEXY, FIERCE, UNIQUE and SHE KNOWS ALL THE COOL MOVES TO THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!! 8-) Seeing her back on stage + her, KanYe and Jay doing the Rockafella sign with thier hands makes me belive that the whole music industry is going to get better & that Jay will save the 2009 VMA from not fail.
I wonder what Rihanna going to do next :-) :blush: :kissing: :kissed:

O.M.G. i am so proud of miss Fenty rite now!! she absolutely killed this perfomance vocal wise! a lot of her "haters" (ppl who secretly luv her but wont admit it lol) were tawkn bou how she could never sing this song live and im glad she proved them wrong. i just wanted her to dance more……is it me or did she seem more confident?
Comment by pelumiie — September 11, 2009 @ 3:10 pm
I wonder if Rihanna has ever come by here and read all our comments! ;-)
Comment by TK-75523 — September 11, 2009 @ 3:24 pm
OMG this performance is just amazing. She really proved that she's back, even though you could really see she was really nervous about it. I love(d) when the public sings the eheheheh part with her. That really proves how much the audience loves Rihanna.
Finally she's back!
Can't wait for more, I hope they'll sing it at the vma's too.

What a pity, Kanye's not here… :-(
Comment by Kika — September 11, 2009 @ 5:26 pm
Oh, he's here xD
Comment by Kika — September 11, 2009 @ 5:28 pm
Yeeah she's ready to rock the house ! She sounded good but not extraordinary like she was emotional but she will improve now that she had a new start.The first two HEEEEEEEH parts sounded very good the whole crowd start singing but the last that long at the end her voice slipped a little but for hte first time is good. The last year she singed Disturbia for the 1st time at the VMA's and she was cold but the performance was cool.Keep rockin' RI !!!

Comment by zazzytink — September 11, 2009 @ 8:31 pm
She does the microphone thing again at 4:25 that she did when she singed That Thing live in Milan :laugh: .Anyone knows where i can download the performance in hq ?
Comment by D!sturbia — September 11, 2009 @ 8:33 pm
She sings the :"Fell it coming in the air…." part so well , I love that part especially the accent in "Got a PROBLEM ,Tell me know " , can't stop rewatching it :)
Comment by D!sturbia — September 11, 2009 @ 8:37 pm
Very well done Rihanna! I give her credit for performing in front of thousands of people knowing all she has been through recently. She is the epitome of a strong woman and at such a young age. Its obvious she was nervous and who wouldn't be. I cannot wait for her album.
Comment by Motherlizard — September 11, 2009 @ 9:32 pm
I am kinda glad Jay-Z did not include too many other female R&B/Hip-Hip singers on this show – it gave Rihanna the floor to stay focused and make a confident come-back – Jay-Z is a true mentor to Rihanna and he knows how to do the right thing – he is a true big-brother to her and I appreciate that very much. It was arranged in a way to eliminate the competitive edge from clashing with Rihanna since this is her first stage appearance since February………it was nicely and brilliantly planned…..PROPS TO JAY-Z…………and Rihanna is a brave and strong woman, I knew it from the get go, she has a mind of her own and I love her to pieces, that's my hometown girl!
LOVE YOU RIHANNA – SHOW THEM WHAT STRENGTH IS ALL ABOUT – WELCOME BACK!

Comment by An4iLovesRiRi — September 11, 2009 @ 9:56 pm
I should have said "Welcome back TO THE STAGE" – because you really didn't go anywhere – just away from stage performance for some months.
Peace and Love!
Comment by Jayne — September 11, 2009 @ 9:56 pm

i love her and all, but her voice was terrible last night, i almost changed the channel, it's like she wasn't even trying.
Comment by devilintheflesh — September 11, 2009 @ 11:28 pm
Yassss. She slayed real hard. :rotfl:
Comment by pryncedru — September 12, 2009 @ 12:19 am
Like I said, I am proud of her for gracing the stage but at times she seemed uncomfortable or stiff. I don't think her voice was bad it sounded as good as the radio version and she looked good too. She just needs to loosen up a little and work on her stage presence. No hate it's not a bad thing.
Comment by yeezy — September 12, 2009 @ 12:32 am
she looked&sounded so good! shes so amazing

Comment by vaum — September 12, 2009 @ 3:31 am

Comment by LaH! — September 12, 2009 @ 4:09 am
Going to be real: I have seen only clips of Jay Z concert last night. Based on the clips that I saw, the show was good. In addition, the album is good. Now let me get to the point.
RIHANNA IS BACK! I am going to say it again: RIHANNA IS BACK! Luv the outfit that she had on. Kanye did good 2. The whole performance was GOOD. Looking forward to the Jay Leno performance.
Comment by T,F. — September 12, 2009 @ 4:31 am
Loved it! Watched it a million times already. She got so much love from the audience especially when she walks down the stairs to join jay.That was the 2nd loudest response from the audience next to kanye. She has swagga for days and just oozes sex appeal. Love her.
