This is the sadness in music that someone referred to as "premanufactured pop stars"- Rihanna heavily relying on her backtrack and backup singers (who are about as loud as her). I truly do not understand how she gets "singing" awards.....

Natash was great :). Rihanna yawn. She is so overrated.
Mediocre singer, mediocre dancer, mediocre performer.

I think Rihanna is doing well though-- her voice sounds strong and steady. I think she is very talented.

This has been one of the best vocal performances from Rihanna in an award show! Finally! :) But she could have focused more on the singing instead of mounting a "Wild Boys"/"Mr Roboto" stage with fires, jails and halloween custome It was a ballad and I thought she was gonna do a 'medley' with Disturbia with that stage. Something more subtle and more focused on her better vocals would have been better.

T, where did Carrie confirm her win?
Rihanna sounds surprisingly average today. Good for her.

The vocal was much better than Disturbeelah at the VMA's. Unfortunately she still cannot perform.

I just find Rihanna very bland. Her performances always come across as very disconnected to me. Like she's playing a role that she has nothing invested in.
