  It was the best performance of the night. I agree totally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Battleship

sickness has nothing to do with it. Her vocals were amazing on LTWYL with Dre and Eminem. WMN performance was just not good no excuse.
- BOX_BLUE
  
  what was so bad with WMN performance thats got you so hot and bothered??? do explain….@Battleship
  
  Anyways, congrats to Rihanna for winning an award. As for her performances, they were both good (not great) but definitely not bad! Oh well, you lose some and win some. Ri still did me proud because she spiced up the otherwise boring grammy night.

  You try doing what she did tonight with bronchitis, on meds and all and let me know what it is like – under those conditions you only want to be on bedrest because your lungs and ribs hurt and to twist your body dancing and singing is unheard of while sick – she put her best foot forward, you could even hear her trying to deep breathe while singing in the beginning. So please, please, sickness has quite a bit to do with it – she did very good given the circumstances. She was not sick on the AMA's and did lots more dancing – so please give credit where it is due.

    Uh, yeah I believe Rihanna personally gave you a diagnosis. You don't know how she felt today or during the performance (weird if she felt better during the rehearsals – if so, she must have been nervous during WMN, and I don't think so). She did a great job with Eminem. But WMN was BAD. And as you can see, many think so. It's okay to be a stan/fan but sometimes you have to be realistic.

RIHANNA AND EMINEM SLAYED TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWO HOT PERFORMANCES
RIHLUV

I AGREE . HER LTWYL PERFORMANCE WAS GOOD AND SO WAS WMN VOCALLY…BUT THE DANCING WAS REALLY STIFFFFFF..IM LIKE SOO DISAPOINTTED..HERES TO HOPING SHE DOES BETTER AT THE BRITS!!!… I REALLY WISH SHE WOULDA PUT MORE ENERGY IN IT…SEEMS LIKE SHE FUCKS UP ON P URPOSE SOMETIMES
- Jayne
  
  You got some damn nerve talking about dancing was stiff – do you know how it feels to have laryngitis and bronchitis at the same time – all you want is your friggin bed – man please – spare the stupid comment – that is utter nonsense – do you know the difference between being sick and well? I don't think so. We got to hope she does not get a relapse or something from the activities this weekend – she got to seriously take it easy for the rest of the week. We ought to be glad she did perform at all – good gracious where is your mind?
  - RIHLUV
    
    FIRST OFFF, DID I TAKE YOUR BABY? DID I STEAL YOUR BOYFRIEND OR SOMETHING . RELAX ITS NOT THAT DEEPPPP===…POINT IS . SHE WAS VERY LAZY DURING THE WMN PERFORMANCE…IM A STAN!!!! BUT IM REAL..AND TRUTH IS RIHANNA IS SOMETIMES VERY INCONSISTANT…. LTWYL WAS GREAT…BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PUTTIN ON A N ACTUALLY DANCE ROUTINE, SHE FEELL OFF…POINT BLANK…SO HERES HOPING THE BRITS ARE BETTER.

@Miss_SBZ :
I now have @Rihanna's WMN on repeat…. Watching this makes me H.A.P.P.Y!! She did good at the Grammys. Nah, fuck it, she was great :D!!
saraaa

is there a video of when they announce the winner for best dance rec. (rihanna only girl)?? i know she wasnt there to accept it but i wanna see when they announce it.. and what is pre telecast cermony?
- lsdksk
  
  You should be able to find it at grammy.com. The video section.
  And yes it was pre telecast cermony.
  - saraa
    
    i looked for it but i cant find it :( btw why was rihanna not there to accept the award??
    - virgo
      
      Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/thegrammys#p/search/0/08R4…
      
      She didn't accept but some of her producers did. She was probably prepping for the red carpet during this part.
      - saraaa
        
        thank you so much :D

‎IZ DIS TRUE IF SO THEY ARE TAKIN EXTREME MEASURES TO STAY UNDERGROUND BUT WHY AND FOR WHAT??IF SHE WANT DRAKE Y CANT SHE JUST LET MATT GO NNO WONDER Y PPLE THINK SHE IS A HO

@mercy6666‎ @StilettoJill i'm late but this> aint true RT @StilettoJill: Oh, here's a random tidbit. Rihanna and Matt Kemp are still together.
@StilettoJill‎ @mercy6666 well he was just with her here in LA last week before he went back to AZ. But you know better. :shrug:
- sara
  
  i think they are back together check this out Robyn-Rihànnà Fenty on facebook, im friends with her on fb, and i have a feeling its really her only cos so many bajans (friends/family) follow her, so…. what do you think?? (she talks to matt on fb, i think you have to be her friend to see her wall tho..
- TakeABow2
  
  Are you crazy? Who said she wanted Drake because it certainly wasn't Rihanna. Performing with Drake does not mean she wants him.. If Rih and Matt are still together, that is their business and not yours.

ohhhhh riri is HOT!!!! stunning i like <3<3, tu es magnifique rihanna continue à nous faire dancer et rêver, kiss

I'm finally getting a chance to watch the show.

1) Congrats to Rihanna for winning her 4th grammy for OG!

2) LTWYL got robbed… especially for Best Rap/Sung collabo!

3) Rihanna singing LTWYL pt. 2 was beautiful. She sounded amazing… it's hard to believe that she was sick at all.

4) WMN… okay maybe she was a little sick ;) Here's the thing. WMN was a last minute add to the show as far as those bookings go. So production wise it was like they were trying to recycle as much as they could from the AMAs and then scale it back a bit to fit in less space. Drake didn't need to be there but whatever. It was cute but not as good as AMA's. Taylor Swift sounded like garbage at last years Grammys and no one seemed to care. This year Rihanna won an award and performed not 1 but 2 songs off her album. You can't ask for better promo. I wish WMN had been before LTWYL but for whatever reason the producers chose to bury it in their show. It was too short and the camera shots were terrible especially during the dancing. But at the end of the day it was on the show because the fans wanted it. I feel like her part of the stage was small because they had to set up for Arcade Fire's huge band, which is all the more reason to do that performance earlier and give her room for all her dancers, the drummers, a fire pit AND Drake. She did her best.

  I agree the camera shots were terrible when she was giving us those hot moves the camera goes faraway
  
  change from angel you could catch the performace from the stage to feel the vibe of the perfomace
  
  To me Rihanna did great i'm so happy that she won and that she perform not 1 but 2 songs of her album i'm a happy and proud fan
Chase

i agree virgo. i thought the main issue was with the camera angle. why was it so low and below her the whole time? i agree, not her best performance either, but still a nice job rih.
melisa

Hey guys, Im new to the site but I love rihanna, Im on the site from my high school right now lol. Anywayz everybody at school talking about how her and drake performance was the HOTTEST of the night!!! Its even the usual rihanna haters that are giving her props. Everyone loved it, I know Rihanna has done better performances, but you gotta admit that one has been the sexiest she has done so far. I LOVED the dance scene with her and drake!!!!
bodacious

so happy about riri won, i wished the grammys would come up with a better way to award the artist because
the system they have now sucks big time ,,,,and you can best believe theres many people who are hot under
their collars today because their fave went home empty handed. we are so blessed to have riri as out fave.
