Hate is a super strong word for describing how bad she performed. I really like Rihs music, but that performance is better to be forgotten. Even for Rihs Standards, this was bad. 

 

If you think this performance was bad , you just dont like Rihanna as an artist and thats ok . Just go to the halftime show thread to post  . This thread is for the Navy

Bro, why are you here? 

You didn’t like it? Great! Do you want a cookie? Attention? This is the Rihanna base. There’s a bunch of threads on the main page that you can go into to complain/circle jerk with the rest of the losers, if it pleases you. Otherwise, MOVE AROUND. 

Oh sry, I didnt realize this was the base nnnn. I'll leave

 

Rih is a Queen no matter what tho

It's the most 'Urban' Rihanna, and the lyrics are absolutely fire.

 

It's in my Top10 all time by her deffo

Yes , also it was used for the official promo of her performance so i guess it got some exposure from that 

 

 

 

What is crazy is how LOTB is so high that it was nowhere promoted 

 

Trully her best song and her most underrated song ( chart wise )

From a Billboard article : 

 

It is hard to overstate just how high in the air Rihanna and her dancers were and how relatively small those platforms were. From the field level, it was absolutely terrifying how high they were — and with the noise of the crowd and the fireworks, not to mention the show itself, absolutely terrifying. But that’s why Rihanna is one of the best to do it.

Yeah true 

 

Its very common to see a pregnant woman performing at the SuperBowl on a lifted platform 

Girl who cares about what actually happens, it’s about the shots, the opening shot was just her face. There was no spectacle to it. Whether y’all like it or not the halftime show is a mostly purely visual happening, and I think that department was severely lacking

 

Katy had stupid inflatable props during her performance but the visual department still made it look clean and full on stage, it’s not about what’s actually taking place it’s about the way it’s filmed and framed

I had very low expectations so I actually enjoyed it 

 

My biggest issue is the setlist. How can you include WHYB, Run This Town, Pour It Up over Pon De Replay, DSTM and LOTB? 

Was there meant to be a live album or something that Roc Nation was saying?

Girl the opening shot was her face zooming out on her being on a lifted platform in the middle of the stadium while 4-5 months pregnant 

 

This is more iconic than ANYTHING Katy did . The next day of Katy's performance everyone was talking about the drunk shark gurl BYE

#6 on the WW chart yesterday (Peak #5 when LMU debuted)

#4 in the US and Canada (new peak in both)

#6 in the UK

 

TBH... that's the same exact thought I had when I saw that ending.

 

Stunning. Clean, sharp and edgy.

 

and she sounded AMAZING in Diamonds

Yeah, the spectacle of the show was great. It was very well shot and filmed. The camera crew did a great job.

I must be the only one that didn't have an expectation of what Rihanna is not....

 

I mean... Against all haters, she sung live, she didn't bring ANYONE with her (she could have relied HEAVILY on that to breath and take minutes from her performance), and she performed the songs she wanted to perform.

 

Sis...

Using backup vocals is the usual. Even Beyonce with all her praise did it. So don't come here telling me otherwise

It's clear a tour and possibly album announcement were supposed to follow up her performance but she got pregnant and all plans got scrapped (might also be why she declined Coachella last minute). Frustrating but I'm happy for her.

The way the universe keeps conspiring against the Navy getting new music

Did you see the PIU part?

Let me not be a hater, I’m just disappointed dhdj

It was pretty underwhelming, but I loved the Birthday Cake/PIU section.

Rihanna has never been a dancer so I don’t understand why people were expecting Janet/Jlo/Beyonce level dancing from her
