I Love Rihanna.<3
Inspiration 4 ME..
But The Disturbia PerforMAnCe was Not Her At aLL. To Me She LooKed So Stiff. Her Singing was Nothing like her. Almost Like it was her first time on a stage. The outfit was ok but that tail?… Hell no. But She sucked all that hate away from me with the performance with T.I. The song is Hot, Her outfit was Hot and she was just on Point. I <3 T.I.

But theN again, IlL take that back. The idea was probably not for her to look all cute. It was probably to kind of fit a scary kinda kinky look. So it was hot. I <3 Rihanna! :)
But i didnt like the hair. It was in POint fir T.I.’s performance though

OMG, that knit panty hose is Rodarte collection..
so- suits her. i love when RiRi does those style no better girls than RiRi when it comes to back leather costume..

omg this chick sucked big time, she didn’t even move. she didn’t even dance, it was horrible.

I ♥ her msuic, but not really her look.
She used to look so pretty with long hair, but I kinda dislike the short hair now.

Well nobody has ever mentioned it from what I’ve seen but

RIHANNA FOCUSES MORE ON HER CLOTHES THAN HER PERFORMANCE!

You can tell by all her skimpy outfits. She’s more into her look than giving a better show for fans.

MTV sucked this year.

Rihanna is very very pretty !

Rihanna thighs are so big compared to her upper body. She look so disfigured. She can’t sing live period and she’s ugly like hell.

I hate the whole zombie theme she has going on with this song. It’s scary and disturbing. I don’t like it.

LMFAO to #38.. if its just da damn truth, den why da fck u care about wat i got to say..? dats wat i’d like to kno. if u feel dat wat u got 2 say is da dam truth, den don’t worry about me stickin up 4 my idol & sayin wat i said. if u dag hater, den dats jus wat da fck u are. da wisest sh*t u can do is “LiVE YOUR LiFE” like my girl & T.i. said, and dont worry bout nuttin else.

p.s.

She should date Jude Law. They have matching bald spots.

this performance was weak and the host was terrible.

This chick is done, how she got a record deal in the first place is beyond me. Makes you wonder about all that talk bout her and jigga. No wonder her ass is broke, she can’t sing for ****. Notice how she nolonger rocks da weave anymore, now dat her as is broke. I cannot wait for her 15 minutes to be over. There r way too many talented people out there that could be in her place. She doesn’t even look like shes excited to be performing, this is the ******* vma’s we’re talkin bout!

To me Rihanna has great songs and she sings them well but she is not a performer on stage like beyonce and chris brown are. But i still love her and she did her thing.

it wasn’t great but it didn’t suck, I think that she was a little nervous though.

SAD BUT TRUE @ 09/14/2008 at 4:49 am

THIS GIRL WORKS FOR FREE.

SHE FINANCES ALL HER ALBUMS AND ONLY HAD 20K LEFT AFTER WORKING NON-STOP FOR THREE YEARS.

THAT’S WHY SHE’S BROKE.

SAD BUT TRUE.

To be really honest i feel as though for her …in oder to get attention or keep herself fresh ,she gets so ****** an takes off most of her clothes ….if your an “artist” you should be known best for your talent not your body . An am a young bahamian an i really wanted her to go an make the carrib ppl proud an be a respectable young woman …. i mean she should make her self seem so much older than what she is , i mean i wouldn’t look at her an say wow that’s a pretty 20 year old , instead i’ll be like wow she look good for 25 or 23 …An where is her parents in all of this i mean i know she is a woman but sometime ur parents should step in an say look that’s enough ur going too far !

Ok, this performance was not one of her best. In fact it was quite bad and a bit embarrassing to watch. However, some people said she could not perform live at all. I watched her at FNMTV with Maroon 5 and she was absolutely great over there, great sound AND performance (in fact the lead singer of Maroon 5 almost forgot to sing, because he was too busy checking out Rihanna). She is still very young, but over the past two years she turned from just being pretty to being hot! Still, thumbs up for Rihanna.

I didn’t get a chance to catch The performances on TV, but I did see a couple online including this one. From what I see it looks like Rihanna’s performance is in tune with her Video. With that said I liked her performance. I think She is Brilliant and extremely motivated. She will do big things!

ok, this was the worst performance i’ve ever seen at the vma’s. this talentless broad cant sing, cant dance, cant do ****! she dont even write or produce any of her music. people on here saying they like her music but not her live performances, that cuz you get “do overs” in a recording studio, and also they have voice enhancers. notice how this billy goat cant even hit the high notes to her own damn songs, i would say its the peak of the song when she says “release me from this prison i’m in, trying to escape but i’m struggling..” she just f*cking flails on the floor and lets her back up singers do most of the work. It;s funny how she needs 30 back up dancers as to distract the viewing audience of her lack of ability to sing. people on here are making excuses for her, that she was scared and such, well, if you cant perform/sing in front of an audience then maybe you should rethink your career. shes just a marketing scheme, she will soon fade. freaking poser, first she’s a reggae/ r&b artist who grew up listening to soca and reggae, now she’s a emo/goth with a new cd coming out that has a punk rock feel to it?? POSERRRRRRR!! i hope her next cd flops so we wont have to hear anymore from this hag. Damn, it amazes me that all you have to do to be a singer is look pretty, and be able to get on your knee’s and proceed to blow jay z a couple times to get a contract deal.

She’s drop dead gorgeous but the outfits are kinda extreme. She’s got the sexiest thighs in all of celebrity-dom
