That’s a drag queen? I thought it was Rihanna.

if s/he can dance? why not. I dont see what the big problem is.
if it hadn’t been pointed out, i dont think any of us would care who the back up dancers are.

It looks like a dude in a wig.

#35 I know! could you imagine riri trying to do something like that? Poor thang would be dead within the minute. I found a true honest to goodness review about her:

A Second Opinion: Rihanna
By Joseph Neese

As an entertainment editor, I think part of me died this afternoon when I discovered that Rihanna now has the most No. 1 songs of the decade. Admittedly not the best metaphor, but I would describe Rihanna as the terrorist of the music world. She’s the perfect example of how profit-oriented the industry has become, choosing looks over talent in every instance. Jay-Z, who is the president of Def Jam Records under which Rihanna is signed, is married to Beyoncé, so he knows a thing or two about what a talented vocalist sounds like. But in the case of Rihanna, it’s as if he decided to sign the prettiest girl that he could find in an effort to use sex to generate as large a profit for his record label as possible. In comes Rihanna (who, while she does have a fantastic pair of legs, is not the Amazon beauty that people claim her to be), assaulting the music scene, given the best songs available.

All this for someone with the vocal talent of a 10-year-old girl playing Annie in your local community theater production - or perhaps less if you take “Unfaithful,” into account, which is perhaps the prime of example of how lackluster Rihanna’s pipes are. While high production can gloss over vocals more easily in an up-tempo song, it can only go so far when it comes to a ballad. Listening to Rihanna sing the slow song makes me think of a dog wailing in pain. She clearly has no vocal talent, squeezing out all of her notes. But most alarmingly, she has such an intense nasality that makes her tone breathy and immature for a woman of her age. So, she can’t pull off any adult lyrical content. (Why that wasn’t corrected by one of her producers, I have no clue. I doubt they care as long as she earns them money.)

Interestingly enough, however, up-tempo songs, like most of Rihanna’s hit records, contain vocals that are more difficult to execute than in ballads. This is why watching Rihanna live is a more painful experience than listening to her studio-recorded songs. I dare you to try to watch her Live Earth set from summer 2007 … if you can make it through it. It’s pretty bad when all your backup singers sing better than you. Watching Rihanna perform live is sort of like a painful audition on American Idol. You can’t really help but laugh, and you would be stupid to spend money on it. Read reviews of the Kanye tour from this summer - all the critics agree. As for her dancing, so-so.

I’m not going to deny that some of Rihanna’s songs are excellent. “Umbrella” more than deserved its Grammy nominations for song of the year. But, as I was reminded last weekend when I went to New York, there are thousands of people who have double Rihanna’s talent and can’t make an industry executive even notice them. So why not go back to how things used to be, when music was a sacred art form and the best singers got the best songs - not those who look best half-naked.

Now that’s Rihanna

I did think that he or she had the best moves, so if that is the choreographer it makes sense. I don’t think it really matters if it is a guy. The song is catchy for about a minute, after that the repeating bruaw bruaw noise in the background gets annoying.

good for her.. Even if its a dude who cares, he is doing what he likes, and great for Beyonce, smart move …the gays have lots of money as well as great moves. Its a video……Music and art, and Dance..
you would have to be stupid to Judge.

I thought so…I commented on that when JustJared first posted the video. There’s a YT vid of a young WM doing all the moves from the video - he’s good too.
