i am dissapointed. i like rihanna, i am not a superfan but i always liked her music and her more than beyonce for ex - but superbowl was a dissapointment... i knew she wouldnt go same way as j.lo or beyonce but i thought she would do it her style - super cool outfit, good vocals - but there was none... i didnt like the dancers, her outfit, she barely sang.... i dont know, im just dissapointed. it was boring and will not be remembered.

Her performance was underwhelming. My bar is low for Rihanna but she gave even less than I imagined.

Rihanna is a pretty girl who got lucky, then rode it 'til the wheels fell off.
I don't think she's delusional and knows that she has limited talent. She understood she was a product and then finessed it for her riches.

She's never given a f-ck about her stage show. There's little discernable difference in her performance skills since she debuted. Why bother improving when her Navy will still kiss her ass and make excuses?

Her appeal has always been aesthetic and she acknowledges that she took off after her haircut. Then her fashion looks (when she had a decent stylist). She has a good way with the camera though, would be a decent model as she's tall. People just fell in love with her personality and unpolished carefree vibe.

I don't see the logic in accepting the Superbowl performance if she's not returning to music and extending her maternity leave. (I think it's mean to string her fans along although I don't see what they see in her).
I'd have rather seen Usher (legend with residency to promote). Taylor Swift would have made more sense as she has new material although she's not my cup of tea. Of the new crop Lizzo or Doja Cat could have put on a better show.

The performance had so much potential. She barely sang, the dancers looked ridiculous, the choreography was terrible and she performed maybe two of her old classics. The entire thing needed replanning.

Great post and agree with everything you said, apart from I think it was less “got lucky” and more “shagged Jay Z” that got her started.

Now Usher, what I wouldn’t give to see!! And he launched Bieber, plus he also duetted with so many great ‘uns, so it could be star filled. That’s such a great suggestion!

The thing is she could have pulled it off if she had put a bit more effort in the production etc.

Disturbia, Please Don’t Stop The Music, SOS, Pon De Replay, Shut Up And Drive. Too many to fit in but I would’ve liked a few more.

I did, and I came to the same conclusion. Umbrella and Run This Town. I consider 'old' to be anything before the Loud album.

Rihanna has about 40 hit singles so there was always going to be something missing in a 13 minute set.

It was an interval act at a sports game, not a Rihanna concert.

Where in my comment did I claim it was a Rihanna concert? I commented my thoughts on Rihanna’s setlist on Rihanna’s thread.

I wish I could see more of the interpreter’s performance, she really made more effort than Rih 😂

What difference does it make?

She sung on all of those songs and even if she didn’t - covers are allowed too.
