First!!!!..
i love me some Ri. but, the notes werent being hit at all. she did go better with t.i though. and that outfitt was much better than this one too.

# 3

im not too sure how i feel about this performance

# 4

i don’t think this was fierce enough for an opening act.. dunno.. no thumbs up from me

# 5

Whole show was garbage…mtv dropped the ball. Had a sick location for a show and blew it with performances like this. Think the director was on speed…cut way to many cameras

# 6

It was not a good performance at all.

The intro was interesting when the stampede of zombie-like people came out, but it seemed like the backup music was doing more of the singing than Rihanna herself. And the choreography was sloppy and all over the place. Not very well planned.

# 7

grace jones, much?

still LOVED it.

# 8

she looked desperate coz her voice wasn’t coming out (as usual)

# 9

This show was embarrassing and awkward to watch.

First of all, Rihanna looks trashy as always, even when she’s performing! What kind of a performance is that? It’s the VMA opening, and Rihanna just move around lip synching like a freaking zombie!

The VMA opening is a showstopper and Rihanna sucks! She looks completely disfigured in that disgusting outfit. Her legs and thighs are huge compared to her upper body.

Perez Hilton said she was disproportional and I think he’s right! She look weird! Worst performance ever from Rihanna!

the performance was alright. the outift didn’t do her justice. she could have worn something a lot prettier and stuff.
russel brand was just an obnoxious idiot the whole show. what a coward. go back to the uk russel!

The whole VMA sucked besides Pink’s performance and britney winning.

I wish they would have went all out like they usually do but I guess even MTV is feeling the pinch of the economy

They should have had it in a big arena with a big stage as usual, it all looked sloppy and stupid.

first time ever watching this show, i really wanted to see britney, am also a huge fan of Rihana .but i didn’t like her performance

UGLY *****

Rihanna’s thighs are huge but her upper body is pretty tiny so she’d have to starve to get rid of the huge legs, i guess…i thought her performace was great, actually… i’m a fan…she could do something about those huge legs, though.

It wasn’t a bad or good performance it was just okay.

it was a letdown

She should of worn something else!
No offense to her but her thighs looked huge! Even my dad commented on it.

Boring!!! Rihanna really needs to start getting original, everything about her performance was played out including that hideous rat tail.

SHE LOOKS LIKE A TRANNY

Absoloutly horrible..
she sang horribly
looked horrible
the vmas suck this year!
