Rihanna

Her dancing reminded me of those gifs of Dua Lipa that people make fun of.

I like Rihanna but her low energy, DGAF style just doesn't work for the superbowl which should be a spectacle. Including so many songs but none of them getting any attention or variety just made it bland.

I don't know how RiRi made it, she must have been riding Jay Z she's not that strong vocally and she's pretty but not stunning.
I feel like she was just a different sexual aesthetic to Beyoncé, so JayZ could use Rihanna to to do all the scantily clad writhing around and club bangers so Bey could focus on her strong woman/power aesthetic

Just watched it and I liked it but I feel she should have had a few outfit changes and sang 'run this town' last and had Jay-z or Kanye come out and perform with her.

Also her songs were not doing that well until she came out with Umbrella.

I don’t think RiRi is woke or being given a platform to tell any truths she doesn’t hold back when she doesn’t like something or someone 🤣
Absolutely - it is so refreshing watching her being interviewed or asked questions on a red carpet. She is so unrehearsed and says exactly what she thinks.

Totally agree. It worked very well for the business to have big teams to write songs and then pass them to Rihanna or Beyonce depending on who's image they suit.
Apart from when they tried this with Rita Ora and it flopped 🤣

There was no way Kanye would have been asked to do it after the past few months.

Also - I know Jay Z was there last night but he has been so critical of the Superbowl/NFL, it would have been completely hypocritical for him to perform.

Doesn’t he help run it/have some kind of partnership via roc nation with the Super Bowl/halftime show now?

No idea how "woke" comes into this or why it's a bad thing. You're gonna crap yourself when you find out that she supports BLM...

This was to whoever said it was like the emperors new clothing up above, giving her a woke platform.

Rihanna's musical success is the modern day retelling of the Emperor's New Clothes, except the boy has been written out or has chosen to "have that conversation" in a "safe space" where Rihanna can "tell her truth".
I didn’t say this ⬆

Rihanna is pretty a relaxed person, I think she just speaks her mind on what matters to her. I don’t think she’s playing any kind of game with wokeness, she seems to be open minded and not afraid to say something

I wonder what what the future is for Rhianna? Her music career was never going to have longevity with the image crafted and she easily makes way more with makeup.

She's in the same position that Cameron Diaz is with her movie career.
Honestly Ri has done well, she doesn’t ever have to work I don’t think she needs or wants any validation? I just get the vibe off Rihanna that she will do something if she’s in the mood to 🤣. Same as Cameron. She will only come back if she feels like it and it’s good enough and I love her for that. What’s not to like someone just being content with life, I think it’s great.

I think she will never tour again, she will do plenty of fenty, have babies, and go to some parties sometimes. It’s kind of refreshing to see a celebrity who isn’t constantly trying to do image work like those kardashians

I think she should just be straight with people regarding new music, if she has no plans in the foreseeable future to return to music then she should say instead of pretending it’s coming. If she wants to focus on motherhood and her businesses then fair enough admit it

I think it's been clear for ages that music isn't really a concern of hers.

I know she doesn’t but like this comment a few years ago why lie and say it’s coming

She seems pissed when people keep asking about the album but shouldnt dangle it in front of peoples’ faces and then not deliver 😂

I absolutely love Rihanna. She's witty as hell. She doesn't pretend to be anything she isn't. She doesn't claim to be a songwriter or a talented dancer, hell, she barely even claims to be a singer. She wasn't even arsed trying to hide the pre-recorded vocals last night.

I loved her outfit but it was a very lacklustre performance. I get that being pregnant means she probably isn't able to dance as much as she usually does (which isn't much anyway). She probably would have been better off using more of her slower songs and belting them out. She's done some really good performances of her ballads.

Imagine if she'd brought Matt Cardle out LMAO.

Jay Z criticised the half time show for years -
"I said no to the Super Bowl: you need me, I don't need you. Every night we in the endzone, tell the NFL we in stadiums too'

And then yeah, as you said - Roc Nation got into a partnership to assist with the entertainment for NFL games and the Half Time show, with Jay Z being the Live Music Entertainment Strategist. He said he would quit and pull Roc Nations partnership if the NFL didn't let Dr Dre, Eminem, Snoop, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar & Mary J Blige perform at last years Superbowl. Before this partnership (in 2018 ) Rihanna said no to the Superbowl. Jay Z has huge control over the half time show, despite never performing at it.

There is no way I could see him performing at this stage and if he did - he would have to be the main act, not 'support' or a guest of Rihannas.

He also said "tell the Grammys duck that 0 for 8 tit". He still shows up to their awards ceremonies though. He kinda says one thing and then does another.

Not Riri related but yeah, he even performed this year didn’t he? It would be a good diss - if he followed through 😂
