The amount of bitterness on ATRL is no joke LOL Rihanna stays winning

She was pregnant, which she clearly didn't know when she signed the dotted line. Sure fans may have been initially taken aback that her movement was light (I definitely was, and would've preferred an announcement prior to the show) but given her circumstances were a surprise, obviously that was going to be the case. It was never going to be highly energetic, which is clearly what ATRL demands, no ifs or buts  Majority on this website seem to either willingly ignore this fact, or just be generally ignorant of the implications of pregnancy, because all y'all seem to value is a woman jumping and screaming around like a dance monkey for your own entertainment. If they don't confirm, they're slated and panned.

 

Like are y'all actually DUMB??? Do y'all understand the ramifications of carrying a child? She ain't putting her health and unborn baby at risk. It's not just a 14 min performance, its WEEKS of rehearsals.

 

Thankfully the GP have proved more intelligent than this website  ATRL has been clowned by the reception of critics and public opinion.

Girl what is the excuse for the terrible lip sync then? 

Not suprised at all. 
 

ugh her catalog of hits are just too strong for her to ever lose.

making the excuse that she was pregnant is kinda admitting it was a bad performance.

Her catalogue is just too strong I fear

 

People wish their fav could do a minimalistic performance like Rih and still come out winning but it just wouldn't be possible for the other girlies

Rihanna smashing after being gone for 6 years and performing in front of 120M people, who would've thought. Still a bad performance. 

We were told it was almost impossible to smash after such a long hiatus unless you’re Adele.

Saying that it’s an excuse is ignorant and plain misogynistic.

It just wasn't a good performance. 

No I'm not surprised. She has a countless amount of recognisable and known hits. Love that she's getting good reception.

 

But as a longtime stan since 2007, the halftime show was very mid.

The show was bad so that's the end of it. Not the highest viewed and Gaga had 2 albums top 10, not just one. The panning of the performance is the biggest loss though.

they put out amazing PR but that was a bad performance we watched... rihanna is the definition of looking cool and 'winging it'.

 

the 'viral tiktoks!!' being people just walking around in a red outfit has me screaming 

 

I will say she has that catalogue that it super strong and she got a better boost that what i thought so yeah. But since when did anyone do the SB and it not be a success? its a career vehicle. 

I noticed you omitted the “quality of performance” category

The fumes, the anger, the bitterness ... Can't blame you. It was a tough week for every ORH!

But when Gaga goes viral on tiktok (because of a dance that wasn’t even viral because of her) it was a different story here 
 

y’all just be saying anything to discredit Rihanna at this point

 

The numbers ressurgence was always going to happen,nothing surprising, we know she's a streaming force.....The performance remains one of the worst HT show ever and Navy know that, no need to force yourselves to like it

Y all were as disapointed as everyone else so stop the hypocrisy

Atrl will always be mad and bitter about Rih , going to whatever lengths to tear down a pregnant woman, and she'll always have the last laugh. Not the first time this happened, won't be the last time either. 

Her catalogue is massive but her SBHT was just dull… and forgettable.

 

successful for few days and back to normality when the hype is gone … 

no, not surprised. after watching it again last night, i actually loved it. although her stage presence was virtually nothing, everything else was pretty great.

overall, every ht show is a "success". it would take a colossal **** up for the public to not like a HT show.

So like every SB performance...?

 

OT: I genuinely don't know what this site expected a pregnant woman mere months post-partum to do

I think her show had the same level of energy but spectacle like Diana Ross's which is one of my fave SB performances. One way or the other they put on a SHOW and her hits SHINED and RESONATED with the masses. It was a success in every way it was meant to be.

As a longtime stan I was disappointed with the overall presentation but in terms of numbers, not surprised at all. Her star power and having one of the best pop catalogs of all time was guaranteed to do numbers.

This lol 

 

Number wise she was always going to do well 

Nnn the same people mocking the ratings after Forbes article,

 

now going with "of course She was going to do well", "the resurgence was expected", etc.

 

Good thing it was a commercial success, y'all were so convinced that everybody hated it
