The Oscar performance was great and everyone there seemed to love it. This will be good to note if she was to ever be nominated again for something. I think she will an Oscar one day for something. If not for music but for producing a documentary..

When she performed at the Super Bowl and a big portion of the forum was calling her performance the "worst ever" I thought they were being hyperbolic (even if some of them claimed otherwise) but understood why someone might've not particularly liked it. Seeing the reaction after this performance and all the users affirming that this was "terrible" or that she "sucked" and other variations of those terms, I finally got confirmation that, no matter what she does, they'll hate on her. She could put on the best performance ever and they'll still argue it was an "embarrassing career-ender".  I'm not saying that this performance was perfect, but the dramatization is out of this world. Anyway, sorry for the long text and for stating what was likely already obvious, but it hit me hard last night after reading some of the comments on this site. 

I agree 100%. The Super Bowl really highlighted just how threatened, jealous and insecure a lot of fanbases are, towards a woman that has hardly been active for the last 7 years. 
 

But then you see the results - still being one of the most streamed artists alive despite all circumstances, while their faves are active and have to pull out every stunt in the book for success. 
 

They just don’t like her and envy her popularity/success. Will downplay her at any chance, but the GP speaks louder.

I don't know why your guys pay attention to any of the negative stuff said about her on this board lol....those who don't like her will always foam at the mouth with spite and use any opportunity to throw hate her way. The truth is they want her to be over and they want the GP to cancel her.....it just ain't happening no matter how bad they want it. It hurts lol

All of THIS

 

what is it with unofficial vids sounding better AGAIN?

I rewatched the Oscar and LOTB AMA performance again and I see how the latter one remains her best vocal performance. But that simply being out of practice.

 

However! I do believe her not smoking for over 24 months helped her voice ALOT

she said "I saw Rare Beauty smashing lemme put a hold to THAT!" hajsjsjs

 

 

I do hope she keeps her promise this time tho

also the LMU performance was…short that’s what "underwhelmed" it a bit 

 

 

and this:

 

 

WHEWWWWWWWWWW

 

 

Not the RRR guys and Malala stanning Rihanna only yesterday. I thought she was unknown in South Asia according to ATRL.

I felt that too a bit. 

 

But either way I loved her vocals and her emotion is always on point. 

 

Happy to have her back even if it was just for a month. 

 

But why do I have the feeling she is recording music now? 

 

I feel like she has her voice 'warmed up' if that makes sense. 

 

I feel like she has been singing this past weeks. Not only for rehearsals

Yes vocals 

 

The performance was great. Not one of her best performance. But very beautiful. She was off key at second lift me up part, but recovered it . Also the choir was too high for the song. Their was trying to make the song more epic when the song is simple and elegant. And this is magic like that. 

She shines, her falsetto and unique voice. 

 

 

Her Superbowl is more iconic, is super cool despite what haters said and will have more replays from me. Have a lot of work and I admire different parts everytime I watch.

 

Her first look at the red carpet is my favorite Alaia in her is perfect . And her face what a face.

 

 

I don't want to look very fanatic, but the SB performance increase the audience not only from last year, from the game too. And the rating of this Oscars was 12% more than last year, and we all know who lead the promotion

We know it yes. 

 

I feel like Rih is at a peak in popularity. 

 

I feel like she could release anything at this moment and be successful. Even with experimental/different type of music. 

Love On The Brain reenters the Top200 on spotify today

 

 

 

GLOBAL Queen. I thought Rih was irrelevant in Asia?

Rih has sold A LOT in Asia. 

 

Maybe she is not in the same level as Avril Lavigne... But she is pretty well known.

 

She has moved 1M albums in Japan and ANTI is one of the biggest selling female albums in China if I'm not mistaken. 

 

Also she has been certified quite some times in the Arabian gulf countries. 

 

I don't know how Indian's music industry works... But I'm sure as it being an English speaking country Rihanna has had more than a share of hits.

 

Definitely irrelevant she is not. 

The way she refuses to post any pics from her music related events (SB/Oscars) smh.....can we get the Fenty Beauty treatment I need to see HQ pics of her Oscar looks, especially the pink bedazzled fit she wore to the afterparty 

Its pretty embarrassing that this was uploaded to her YouTube in 480p . It's 2023. And the video cuts off so abruptly before the music has even faded out and she got the standing ovation . What are her team doing? 

 

 

 

 

Still 5 songs above 1M...and 15 songs above 500K 😍👏

When is Fenty Baby 2.0 due? 

 

I think that is when we can potentially start talking music again...until then. Goodbye girls

Id say early June? She looked to be about 5 months or close to it at the Super Bowl. Could be May though.
