Woo????? 

The performance grew on me so much when I realized how tailored to Rihanna it was. 
 

There were no unnecessary props, no guests, the stage was sleek and she carried the show with her hits and charisma + gave us some cute choreo! she did that tbh

It really highlighted just how huge her catalog is  The set list really drove the performance for me. All the classics and nostalgia  Also I loved the creativity of interpolating some of her other songs that only Stans would pick up on

 

Cockiness interpolated into WHYB was everything

I looooved when she did the cat-like moves during the Pose breakdown! I need to find a gif of that!

She's just so effortlessly cool... Anybody would have looked ridiculous doing that but she did it with confidence and I had to keep replaying it!

Parris really ATE with that choreo!

This for me too 

Has any other SB performer ever seen this huge of a boost before?!

Nope, our fav is 1 of 1. I keep trying you tell you guys, Rihanna is the exception. Regular expectations (stats wise) shouldn’t apply to her because she always exceeds them. I know the Navy is humble, but we really shouldn’t be. Our fav truly is THAT GIRL. 

I'm obsessed with the "Rude Boy" part and little dance.

Umbrella is still THAT girl.  True classic.

Nice 

 

 

For me i would say Prince and Michael Jackson are untouchable but from the rest 

 

JLo and Shakira was the best halftime show and then its Beyonce and Rihanna 

 

 

From the main pop girls i would say: 

1. Shakira / J.Lo 

2. Beyonce

3. Rihanna

4. Katy Perry

5. Lady Gaga 

Insane

 

- Navy are entitled to feel how they feel about the performance good bad or indifferent but its been nearly 20yrs I wish people would stop trying to compare her performance style to others. She’s made it this far being true to herself 

 

Her show received a bunch of positive reviews, stellar ratings, crazy catalog boost. & She’s about to having another bundle of joy. No amount of hate threads could ever diminish her legacy. She won
 

& for those who are truly over the wait for a new album. That’s okay! It’s okay to out grow your favorite artist. No need to constantly complain about why she’s not doing what you want her to do.

I don’t think so. 
See when you have back to back hits.

And we were supposed to be crying in our corners....

 

If she released a new single... that would have been the absolute and ultimate decimation

^^ Wasn't she supposed to be absolutely shattered and annihilated by the public after what was an absolute disaster?

 

:shipstea:

Her dancers have taken all over tiktok and everyone is sharing their great experiences.

 

Also people have started recreating the rude boy dance. It's truly a world stopping moment
