Not the best vocals, but I liked the performance. Nice job Rihanna.

I can't wait for this performance to be analyzed by that site that called Gaga an Illuminati puppet.

Loved the Rihanna video at the beginning. Definitely the most exciting performance tonight! (so far ;) ) Are you serious? This is exciting? Yes, it is. The lasers, the video intro, the ensembles, the set. It wasn't like Shakira's with three large screens behind her with lyrics on them.

I love Riri... but shes not a good performer. Her intros and outfits are always better than her performances!

Ugh. Why are they giving Michael awards. SO STUPID. Michael is looking down right now and even he knows that Maxwell owned 2009 as far as R&B males go. What a joke. A tribute would have been nice, not unnecessary nominations for old music.

Great performance from Rihanna. She was great. Not too crazy about her new stuff but I am sure it will grow on me, of course.

Yes guys, lets slam Rihanna's vocals and say they haven't improved when she just performed the 2 songs that have the WORST vocals on the album. Her voice has improved, and if she had performed Russian Roulette, it would have shown. She killed that song live!

She could've performed Russian Roulette, her sales would have gone up. I liked her video at the begining, but it made me laugh. She got a standing ovation because she's back and the abuse she recieved not because of her singing LOL.

The award wasn't based on sales. At least Taylor is alive and is continuing to make new music. The only reason MJ won this award is because he died. That's just pathetic. So if its not based on sales and its based on popularity why shouldnt he be nominated? Because he hasn't released any new and popular material in 20 years. If it is just a popularity contest, they should have nominated The Beatles and Elvis Presley as well.

Yeah, that performance wasn't the best...but those 3 songs just got me too hype. Rated R is the business.

If it is just a popularity contest, they should have nominated The Beatles and Elvis Presley as well. Elvis and the Betles didn't sell 6.5 million albums and 14 million downloads this year so try again. Oh, and his catalogue sold 1.4 million in 2008- how much did Shakira sell last year?

Rihanna's vocals have improved, but tonight's performance in no way showcased this.

I like the song but I don't think her voice sounds good at all live. And that hair is horrible. She's trying too 'hard'.

Wow! at Rihanna! I know her vocals were not her best (the songs have low notes, so I wasn't expecting much for these 2 songs), but she is now OWNING the stage, and not viceversa as it was for so many years. FINALLY she has grown as a performer. She has to improve vocals, but now she can put up a show, and show her personality, with her edgey image. Very nice improvement!
Just wished Wait Your Turn had been a single too, and not only a promotional track
