Rihanna’s NRJ Awards Performance — VIDEO

Rihanna performed her hit song “Don’t Stop The Music” at the 2008 NRJ Music Awards, where she picked up International Song of the Year.

The Barbados babe worked out fluorescent tanktops and plaid skinny jeans. There’s also some hot choreography from a bunch of breakdancers!

Watch the performance below and if you haven’t already, check out Rihanna’s show-stopping red carpet look from earlier on in the evening!

anyone who says she looks like a lesbian with that hair probably has stringy, mousie, holly hobbie hair with curled bangs in the front. And shops at wal mart.

I like her a lot but… she doesn t look good in that outfir, and yes longer hair was better cause she looked like a beautiful girl.. now she looks like 13-year-old teenager…. yes, she cant move. it s a pity, cause it would add energy to the song.. she is just standing and look like she doesnt know what to do… anyway I like her a lot, but it doesnt mean that everything she does is perfect

Ha ha Lola your comment was so funny ! I think Rhianna hair looks great, she is petite and pretty enough to pull that cut off.

Not the best singer? Well, neither is Britney. Music execs are looking for performers with a crossover look and a bit of talent to sell records.

The demographic of 18-24 doesn’t want the next Celine or Whitney. They want a funky beat they can dance to at the club and Rihanna fits that bill. She’s a decent performer and very beautiful. Glad she’s finally getting attention after three albums.

Her outfit is fun and I think she looks nice with her new haircut.
Gotta love Rihanna. she’s very sweet and fresh.

She’s oddly rocking that ridiculously short hair. Sigh.

great performance– but why doesn’t anybody notice that shes lipsynching the entire song- she takes the mic away from her mouth and the vocals continue. but she’s beautiful

The performance is so so. It’s like she didn’t rehearse and wasn’t even singing by herself at times, why is only Britney and Ashley Simpson blamed for lypsynching?

Britney Spears took home “Best International Album” at the NRJ Music Awards in France on Saturday.

She beat out Mika, Amy Winehouse, James Blunt and Rihanna.

Congratulations Britney!

Ahhhh!
Congratulations for Rihanna too.

It was on french television (TF1) - I think your video will be deleted because TF1 are ******* and devils.

Anyway i LOVE your website, for us, french (or other people in other countries than Us)

P.S : poor Britney, why doesn’t she move from US and come to France, she would be free “here”

Whyyyyyyyyy @ 01/28/2008 at 11:48 am

Riri needs to stay out of the States, cause people in the UD will put up with anything, she was terrible, as a person who can sing and know the ropes, for one she had parts where she was lip syncing, she can not dance and sing at the same time, and she could not hold a note but for only a second and that’s not good.

If riri was on American Idol she would not have made the cut…

She has too do better than this, she will never cross over to the Grown up section with this kind of performances…

This was terrible, she knows who to perform for a bunch of hollaring kids…………
