I see nothing wrong with doing 25 dates - she has never really done a full blown US tour, it's about time to start. The only thing I'd say is that it was poor timing with Rated R being not prime material to launch a tour with and the current touring market as is. Also, Ticket Prices. Ridiculous. $95 for not even good seats to see an artist that really hasn't established themselves as a touring artist? Yea, not a good idea. Regarding the cancelled dates. The Washington date was a good 70% filled last time I looked, so it's not like it was really doing that poorly. The Texas date was an addition added a good month after the originals went on sale. Anyway, if the Christina fan is trying to throw shade...at least Rihanna's tour isn't completly cancelled How can you tell a date is 70% filled ? that's nonsense. If it was 70% filled they wouldn't have canceled it. I foresee more cancelations on the way, there are still shitload of tickets available. Billboard boxscores will tell a tale when and IF released.

Listen people dont bring negativity to this thread. We dont need it. She cancelled 1 date big whoop. Its not like the whole tour is being scrapped. The tour did well in europe so Im sure she will do good in North America as well. Have faith.

What's your problem? Such nonsense - that there are people that have access to her ticket sales lol. JuSt CRaZy

Really these artists need to be doing 10-20 show tours max. People in the small towns will have to come to the big cities if they want to see the artist.

So whats the deal with her not even being in the Top 100 on the Forbes 100? Rihanna tickets in Europe was cheap compared to say Whitney Houston or other established acts plus her tour had high production costs. I'm sure she makes money from endorsements but she doesn't have much. She has appeared alot on magazine covers but that really haven't ransalted into album sales as RR has not top the 3mil mark WW and is just shy of platinum in the US. I think on the US side, her album has not made Def Jam money- more a lost with 5-6 videos, high production costs, high promo fees etc- She's done better outside the US. Maybe next year when her tour stats have been tallied but she is not big on social media sites, high on mag covers, high on radio airplay but so so sales for such high airplay so I'm not surprised that she isn't on the list now.

I love Rihanna and can't wait to see her on 31st July, but I'm surprised smaller venues and lower ticket prices weren't chosen. This is her first headlining tour and she's yet to establish herself as a performer.
Oh well, I'll enjoy my time!

I decided to take a look at how "Te amo" is doing on the charts overseas and what i saw really suprised me.....It really is floping and i was really suprised since i thought this song HAD to be a #1 hit song overseas because IMO it really is a good song.To date it's my 2 fav Rihanna track after Umbrella.
It only managed to peak at # 19 on the European Hot 100.

That's sad :( Anyway, I have heard Rockstar 101 on a European radio station twice in a matter of 3 days so hopefully they'll push it in Europe too. It seems to be doing well without any official statement of it being released in Europe.

Rude Boy is such a masterpiece. Listening to it today at full volume with my earphones I heard a new instrumental line I had nt heard before during the chorus. I LOVE IT!

It would have been better than RS101, but that ain't saying a lot.

We are getting a new #1 for Rih Yupppp. Plus in my head RS101 is gonna get resent for adds in August because none of the big radio stations received the song plus the video is yet to premiere on any network. Didnt it strike anyone that the song wasnt sent for adds to any big radio stations nor the video is being played on tv. This IS Rihanna -- Mtv loves her. Also I hope she releases Cold Case Love at the end of September to put a fabulous end to the era as Im gonna need her for Summer 2011.

I'm in denial/shock/postpartum depression Thats ok hun. Use the refund and try to get tickets at another show. On a lighter note Rihanna's song that she perormed Shy Ronnnie has just scored an Emmy Nomination.

AH-MAZING! :O :O :O
I don't think that'll be possible. I ony got vacations for a week, flight tickets are not refundable and the only date that would work is NM on the 14th, but that would mean buying extra plane tickets for me AND my friend. Doesn't sound possible. This is really shitty... but oh well, I'll go have the time of my life in CO, maybe see Kelly Clarkson and Sarah McLachlan and Lilith Fair and pray for a new tour soon so I can go see her :(
