LOUD Tour in Auburn Hills

Princess RiRi performed in front of over 10,000 people in Auburn Hills, in the Detroit metropolitan area, last night.

Rihanna packed hits, sex and sizzle into her concert at the Palace of Auburn Hills Tuesday night, her second Metro Detroit show in less than a year.

The 23-year-old pop sensation — she’s amassed 10 No. 1s since 2005 — carried off an impressive arena production, full of huge video screens, moving parts, conveyor belts, hydraulic lifts and more. And the brightly colored costumes and lighting made the stage look like a pack of Starburst come to life.

The show and staging was as elaborate as any big time pop extravaganza, taking its cues from modern arena spectacles from Madonna to Lady Gaga. And Rihanna pushed the boundaries of sexuality in her show, especially in an early four-song suite that began with her in a tuxedo doing a gender-flipped version of Prince’s “Darling Nikki” and only got nastier from there. Let’s just say the female fan who was brought on stage and straddled by Rihanna won’t be forgetting her concertgoing experience anytime soon.

But the overtly sexual portion of the show was over early, and Rihanna showed off the various facets of her persona quite well throughout the rest of the show. She went into baladeering diva mode during “Hate That I Love You” and “California King Bed,” belting out the songs from center stage while wearing a flowing dress that was as yellow as the sun. She was the streetwise girl from the block during “What’s My Name” and “Rude Boy,” prancing around stage and owning her sexuality while putting the boys in their place. She was cute yet tough during “Hard,” riding in on a pink tank and strutting proudly in an army green cape. She even got a little bit of her Shelia E. on, rocking out a drum solo on a satellite stage mid-arena.

There were no themes to tie the show together, other than hits. The 24-song set was almost all hits, songs that have blasted from radios for years and continue to show a surprising resilience. She closed with “Love the Way You Lie (Part II)” and “Umbrella,” the latter ending with a shower of confetti on the mostly female, dolled-up crowd.

Rihanna, one of the best-selling artists of all time with more than 30 million records and 100 million singles sold, has signed a multi-year deal with The Barbados Tourism Authority (BTA) to exclusively promote Barbados as a tourist destination.

You people are nuts!!! every last one of her reviews are bad. They focus on her surroundings and not her, they put more on the freak show props and her copying real talent than anything. Spreading your legs open for little kids that made you is crazy. Her shows should be 21 and over and then lets see how much play she gets! Stop with this stupid praise of this girl it's still the same ole stuff with her and I like how y'all hurried up the other day and removed that forreal Gazette tell it like it truly was review of her. Be a stan but represent the realness of it. She sucks!! If not for her look and her music with the nice beats this street walker would have been gone a long time ago!!! Y'all think because she sales she is good, no!!! it's about respect and she gets none cause she dont respect her self!! What a shame and waste cause her corner will still be waiting when people finally opens their eyes to this!!! The way y'all stan I know they want let this little known fact come to light cause y'all are in deep denial with this chick. Just in case I will post it also on another site.

Why would you post this without giving any credit to the actual person who wrote it? If you're copy and pasting the text (and stealing the photos and putting your own watermark on them), why not credit the actual source of the information, which is The Detroit News?

DANG!!! Here I am, going to this urban radio station to listen to hear RiRi Mandown and KRow Motivation, and w/o naming the name, was enduring w/ agony listening to this woman singing who I thought I would try to listen to but I honestly could not take it!

I would say go to other islands too but her calendar is so crammed. Good look Im sure the ppl will fully embrace the princess. Maybe she fit/squeeze in Tdad when Nicki do her show there.
Notorios

You are so right none of these reviews mention her voice or performance. All the talk about is her custume, over sexed show and I think one reviewer call her slutty. She is not even original b/c she is compared to Madonna and Gaga. I thoguht she was an artist, singer, entertainer performer. None of the reviews mention that. How sad and pathetic. This chic is a mess. Its obvious the Navy not use to great performance or else they wouldn’t be celebrating these insulting reviews. There is ne theme, over sex, taking cues from Madonna and Gaga. How un inspired. She can’t sing, can’t dance so she sell sex and need whoring custumes. THE REAL HONEST REVIEW WAS TAKEN DOWN. You hide the truth or run away from it.

@WhyStillImBusiness,,m@adamGRAHM &Notorios Why Don't U Trolls
Just Take Yourselves Out Of Your Misery & fall on your own swords
U R about to die (trolls) because you can't stand all the Positive Press Princess Ri I Receiving!!!
Notorios

LMAO what positive press. Now I’m convince Rihanna fans /ot use to any thing good. The only thing the press mention are the custumes and her ability to sell sex on her tour. That’s positive I guess if you’re a Rihanna fan. See other fans are use to reading great reviews about their star artist great vocal ability, dancing skills, being a great entertainer and giving a great performance. I don’t see any of those things mention in any one of those reviews. Well one reviewer said ever the top and slutty so I guess that was very positive press for Rihanna.
