www.mtv.com/news/articles/1635473/20100405/minaj__nicki.jhtmlApr 5 2010 Rihanna Announces Last Girl On Earth Tour With Ke$ha, Nicki MinajThe trio will hit 25 cities across North America; additional dates to be announced. By MTV News staff It's about to be one busy summer for Rihanna. The singer has just announced that she'll be hitting the road for her Last Girl on Earth Tour with opening acts Ke$ha and Young Money rapper Nicki Minaj, a rep for Rihanna confirmed to MTV News on Monday (April 5). The tour will begin in Seattle on July 2 and make 25 stops, including Los Angeles on July 21 and New York's Madison Square Garden on August 12, before concluding on August 25 in Chicago. Tickets go on sale at LiveNation.com on Friday. Additional dates will be announced. In a recent interview with AOL, the singer told fans they can expect a big upgrade in comparison to her previous tours. "We've never done a tour to this capacity," she said. "The production is unbelievable and the costumes, we just took it to a whole new level. Visually and sonically it's going to be a big step up from the last time. We just keep growing, and this time it is a massive production that I cannot wait for." The tour adds just another notch in the belt for these ladies' busy schedules. Most recently, Rihanna stopped by the Kids' Choice Awards to perform a medley of hits, including current single "Rude Boy." The songstress is scheduled to perform on Wednesday's "American Idol" results show. The Last Girl on Earth Tour will be the perfect place for on-the-rise artists Ke$ha and Minaj to showcase their material. Ke$ha graced the "Idol" stage with 3OH!3 to perform "Blah, Blah, Blah." Minaj just released the music video for her long-awaited first single, "Massive Attack." Last Girl on Earth Tour dates, according to a rep for Rihanna: » 7/2 - Seattle, WA @ White River Amphitheatre » 7/4 - Vancouver, BC @ General Motors Place » 7/6 - Calgary, AB @ Pengrowth Saddeldome » 7/9 - Sacramento, CA @ ARCO Arena » 7/10 - Mountain View, CA @ Shoreline Amphitheatre at Mountain View » 7/14 - Albuquerque, NM @ Hard Rock Casino Albuquerque presents The Pavilion » 7/15 - Denver, CO @ Comfort Dental Amphitheatre » 7/17 - Las Vegas, NV @ Mandalay Bay Events Center » 7/21 - Los Angeles, CA @ Staples Center » 7/22 - Phoenix, AZ @ Cricket Wireless Pavilion » 7/28 - Atlanta, GA @ Philips Arena » 7/30 - Tampa, FL @ Ford Amphitheatre » 7/31 - Miami, FL @ American Airlines Center » 8/3 - Indianapolis, IN @ Verizon Wireless Music Center Indianapolis » 8/5 - Toronto, ON @ Molson Canadian Amphitheatre » 8/7 - Montreal, QC @ Bell Centre » 8/8 - Boston, MA @ Comcast Center » 8/11 - Uncasville, CT @ Mohegan Sun Arena » 8/12 - New York, NY @ Madison Square Garden » 8/15 - Wantagh, NY @ Nikon at Jones Beach Theater » 8/18 - Camden, NJ @ Susquehanna Bank Center » 8/20 - Bristow, VA @ Jiffy Lube Live » 8/21 - Hershey, PA @ Hersheypark Stadium » 8/22 - Detroit, MI @ DTE Energy Music Theatre » 8/25 - Chicago, IL @ United Center

Umm Ke$ha is more successful than Nikcki so really she has a lot more reason to be there than Nicki.

How do I sign up for her fan club? Is that through her official site? What is the fee?

Rihanna is the thirtieth most played artist in the UK of the past decade.

So apparently they did a last minute switch and Rockstar 101 is the next single?
All that excitement for "Te Amo" for NOTHING!

It was average. She looked great and the whole stage setup was awesome. Her vocals were okay, pitchy in many parts.
The song just doesn't translate into a good performance.

She needs to get it together as a performer. Or she'll never replace Beyonce and always pale in comparison. Or worse, she'll lose her reign to some chick who cannot sing but has stage presence. She is so lazy on the stage, even with the swag she gets from B'.

She isnt trying to be Beyonce and won't replace her. They have NOTHING in common.
As a performer she has improved, but Rockstar 101 didn't show that. Rude Boy performances have been great!

Her performance wasn't good...
I think this era is going to basically be done after Rude Boy. It seems like they don't really care about it anymore with the release of this single and the talk of the next project already. I have a feeling Rihanna pushed for Rockstar 101 and they just gave it to her cause they're done with the era.

As long as they stick to ONE single at a time, I'll be fine.

Her AI performance tonight is proof positive why I don't think I could be given tickets to her tour. Who wants to sit through that for over an hour?

Rihanna cannot sing live and she has little, if any, stage presence. I like a lot of her music, but she is hardly a great performer or entertainer.

SHe has mer moments... it's weird because I saw her concert on TV, she was live in Toronto, her own tour, sold out... and she was great. Sounded great, danced well, had a great stage pressence, held the entire show together and did it very well to boot... My sister saw her and Chris Brown in Aus and said she was great live... she must be different on award shows. THough it's silly because she doesn't understand then, that so many non fans judge you by these one off appearences.

She wasn't that good last night. Her best live performances are still Russian Roulette. Every performance of that song she did on her promo tour is great, the staging, the vocal, and she has plenty stage presence.

I think Rihanna's inconsistencies live are her worst problem. She has improved and we occasionally get strong performances from her but she still seems to be a more effective studio artist to me.
What disappointed me the most wasn't the performance itself but the fact that "Rockstar 101" is the next single. I love the track but I can't believe that her label thinks this song will performed better than "Fire Bomb," "Te Amo" or "Photographs." Anyone of those tracks would have made for a better performance as well as showing a different side of her this era. AI is still a great way to launch a single for an A-list artist even with weaker ratings. She could've "rocked out" FB more convincingly than R101 with a better vocal to boot.

I hope this album doesn't die with Rockstar. I like the song, but weary about it as a single. I actually bought the album yesterday and like it much more than my initial impressions. In a way, I still think it's comparable to My December in that it just takes you by surprises at first coming from such a smash, infectious album. As a Kelly fan, I was willing to give MD more time than this, but I'm glad Rude Boy got me to look at it again. Lots of really, really strong stuff on here.

her performance on idol was not the business...i dont think i would ever spend money to see her live.
she definately lacks energy...she definately a inconsistent performer... her vocals were way of last night even my friends were like WTF.
its all good looking cute but as a performer she's dreadful.
