I’m super happy with the performance, although where tf was Pon De Replay, Disturbia and Don’t Stop The Music!!

 

Shes really pregnant again…we ain’t ever getting R9 

 

 

I should've known when the rehearsal pics came out and she was just taking a sit while the dancers were doing their thing

I will say, despite loving it, it was strange that during the press conference she was emphasizing paying homage to her roots as a Caribbean woman and said that representation was one of the biggest reasons she accepted the gig... like the show was not serving Barbados, I'll say that  still a slay 

I think more than anything this really got me. Where’s the West Indies soul shes been talking about? The Bajan spirit she wanted to represent… where’s the ISLAND?? The bareness in those red/LEDs. Man

terrible at lipping, she was literally putting her mic down as the vocals were still playing at several points

You could clearly hear the difference between the backing vocals and her actual voice. 

I loved it! I was pleasantly surprised by how many songs she managed to squeeze into the set, loved the incorporations of different songs in the transitions. I mean technically we got Kiss It Better at the super bowl  and was I the only one who heard You Da One for a sec 

 

The floating stages were cool, and made for some beautiful shots, though I would’ve liked some kind of change up to the scenery. The vocals were good, she looked stunning and seemed like she was having a lot of fun, she was GLOWING! And she’s pregnant once again

You cannot be serious suggesting she was live

The way it’s been IN FRONT OF US for an entire week. That pic. The whole press conference with the ugly jacket. The “i might bring someone”. 
 

Are we losing again??? Now what???

I loved it. To be honest, knowing her, I did not expect more. I really enjoyed the show

Very true

 

Tbh by looks of things I wouldn't be surprised if the SB had to be reworked halfway through after finding out about her pregnancy. I kinda refuse this is the show they have been planning for months  

 

I don't think Rih would of intended to get pregnant prior to the SB obviously. But also was likely too late to withdraw from the show by the time she found out. 

I need to watch it for a second time but I’m one of the few who loved it (but for sure see the flaws). Definitely a lot more memorable than past shows imo. 

My qualms are with the music treatment + setlist and staging. I wasn’t a big fan of Rih’s choreo either but she’s never been known for that so I don’t really mind. The way they hyped up the production as something “never been done before”, I was most frustrated about that.
 

People on this site who have a real dislike for her will get very rabid and very nasty the next few days and weeks for sure 

 

Big congrats and super excited for her with 2nd pregnancy…but can’t help but feel dejected after weeks of clamouring on about new music + tour. It’s our own fault I guess. 

i love her ... but i don't want to have an idol anymore.

it was just ok

I'm not surprised that she omitted DSTM, PonteReplay, and I love that she included PIU BBHMM AOTL RTT in the setlist, some of you don't seem to know her, Rihanna loves urban songs, that's what she's been showing us since the Unapologetic era, and that's exactly what I like about her, I love her urban style, I even love the outfit I'm wearing today because it goes according to that style.

Congrats to Legend expecting her second child.  She looks incredible!

I do wonder what's up with the tour that was seemingly confirmed at this point. 

The press and the GP are praising her. She always manages to WIN.

Did a #19 peaking Pour It Up just get more screen time than Umbrella

Okay I watched it again, it wasn’t that bad now knowing she’s pregnant. She should’ve highlighted it more though cuz even that belly rub was half-assed  

When can we watch this again? Is Apple Music uploading it or NFL 

I see the usual goofs already creating the useless threads.

Ignore them. 

The performance wasn’t as bad as how people tryna make it sound  it could’ve been better. The dancers choreo really boosted it for me. 
 

any Navy member from way back knows this was decent for Rih standards. She could’ve came high and start slurring 

Anyways I can't believe she is pregnant again.

 

 

I hope she has a girl this time.

I will give her the benefit of the doubt because clearly her being pregnant is the reason we didnt get a more revealing out fit, high energy and dance moves. 

 

 

 

But i am still disappointed and i wish she waited until next year or something to perform when she had nothing holding her back fully.

 

She sounded great tho

 

 

 

 

when is the Apple Music doc being released? I think it will put everything into perspective tbh 

Congrats to legend on her pregnancy. Her and Rocky are clearly active
