Y’all have turned Ashanti singing background vocals on two songs into JLO not singing her own catalog. It’s sick, and tired. I wish folks had this energy for every other singer who uses background vocalists. One of the most common practices in the music industry since its invention but somehow it became a negative thing only with JLO. I feel like I’m living in an alternate reality anytime it’s discussed. All of your favs have done it and continue to do so. um anyway... my opinion on whether JLo can kill a ballad live or control her breath enough to actually sing while dancing is not super relevant here. my point was that Rihanna, despite not being a Beyoncé/Gaga/Prince/MJ level performer, is probably going to put on a great show and there's no need to compare her to a once in a generation artist like Beyoncé. not to bring her down before seeing her show at all.

Both Rihanna and JLO can sell a midsize stadium show in a random country like Turkey unlike your flop faves

Damn! Anti is still 3x platinum. It hasn’t been certified since 2018. It’s gotta be like eligible for 6x platinum at least, right?

Thanks for making me see that post, I guess? Anyway...So happy for Rihanna's nominations for LMU and confident she will KILL it at the SuperBowl.

If Rihanna doesn’t release or at least announce an album with the Super Bowl (aka one of the biggest platforms an artist can get), then I doubt we’ll ever get another album.

Man. I can’t imagine being in her shoes. The artist with literally more hits than plausible in 13 minutes. Can we do set list predictions?

I feel umbrella, we found love, and diamonds are the three I’m most certain of. I’d expect a loud track, but I’m not sure which of the first three singles (though only girl is probably best for the event). Hmm rude boy maybe ?
Pon de replay SOS Umberella rude boy Only girl we found love Diamonds Work
Hmmmm those are prob her most defining hits of each era almost all are first singles

She should skip Pon De Replay and SOS. Too many quality hits since those that don’t sound as dated to get through. We need Only Girl and What’s My Name, for example

Can she bring out Eminem, Jay, Drake, Kanye, Paul McCartney DJ Khalid and Carlos Santana (to play the riff live) in 13 mins? 🤯 Your list is missing HUGE career defining songs. Run This Town This Is What You Came For Wild Thoughts What’s My Name Don’t Stop The Music Stay Like she legit has too many hits to do this. She should get 20 mins.

Also, it would break the internet if she dropped the album right after the show.

Variety hints at Rihanna dropping new album after the show. I also think the same, not dropping the album would be a huge waste of opportunity.
