  1. lol

    @wtf
    aww, someone’s a bit mad huh and i believe it’s the same person cause rihanna stans do it all the time.
    this particular post is a perfect example. the same people have commented several times using different names
    just cause you support rihanna, you have ‘common sense’ and others don’t??
    wow, i’d love to address that but it’ll probably hurt your lil feelings.
    you’re an adult?? lol okay then
    if it aint that serious, why are you replying then. it obviously affected you

  2. Gigi

    it was a good concert, but I cant stand to listen to Rhianna’s voice. The chic cant sing.. ugghhh..

  3. Ara

    Lol @ 66 MS CRUNK

    Mary J Blige and Beyonce did the da*n thing!

  4. Huey Freeman

    That concert was on FIRE! So what if Jay didn’t mention Rhianna’s name IT WASN’T HER SHOW! Now I have to break away and say this everyone including YOU have been fawning over this girl for months like she claimed the patent on ABUSE!

    and what has she REALLY DONE? Started a support group for battered women? NOPE! Spoke @ high schools to teens about the dangers of teen abuse and saftey HELL NO! Wrote a song and started a fund to send proceeds to the victims of domestic violence? AW HELL NAW!

    ALL SHE DID WAS GET BEAT UP BY HER BOYFRIEND! CHRIS B IS STILL A LIL BITCH FOR IT BUT EVERYONE’S ACTING LIKE SHE’S THIS BIG SOUL SURVIVOR & ALL SHE’S BEEN DOING IS PARTYING, AND MOVING ON AND ENJOYING HER LIFE! YA’LL ARE THE ONE SAYING POOR POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL!

    Furthermore she did NOT I repeat NOT get her ass beat! RODNEY KING GOT HIS ASS BEAT! AND NOBODY TOOK A BEATING WORSE THAN JESUS!

    So with that being said stop treating her like she’s some fragile princess & be the same ones in the streets that won’t lift a finger when you see a woman getting her ass whupped in public!

    ….just had to vent! LOL!

    @ lol

    Please Stop…

    Rihanna Non-Fans Are To Much….I have NEVER Used A Different Screename To Agree With Myself…This Is Getting Childish…I Mean Really, Yall Beyonce Stans Must Be The Ones Delusional…

    If You Have Seen My Previous Comments Under Other Posts, You Know I Never Do That…Rihanna Has Plenty Of Fans…Alot On Concreteloop…Thats Why She Is A CL Favorite.

    Of Course People Are Going To Defend Her…That Doesn’t Mean Its The Same Person…I Love Rih…And Im Content With Her Success And Popularity…I Don’t Have To Agree With Myself To Boost Her…She Is Already There.

    Why is it that Beyonce and Rhianna always wear panties on stage all the time ? Is it because their pimp Jay-Z told them too.

  7. billieholiday

    The concert was DOPEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
    Jay-z has endlesss hits and there were still some songs I wish he would have done, “Sunshine” Money Cash, H**s” Throw Ya Hands Up” “Roc Boys” “Lucifer” but all in all it was still one of the SICKEST LIVE SHOWS I HAVE EVER SEEN and I have already seen him live.

    Beyonce KILLED IT, Ye KILLED IT, John Mayer was Sick, Rihanna was amazing and looked stunning, Cudi was nice, MJB was dope, Pharrell was nice, that light skinned girl on Empire State of Mind ( don’t know her name thought it was Alicia Keys and then I had to take a second look), It was nice to see Santigold although i could not HEAR her,Memphis Bleek might need another hit though. I wish Jay would have brought more people though, like Nas, or Lil Wayne/Drake, that would have been dope.

    The only sore spot was Diddy inviting himself onstage when he is CLEARLY NOT A RAPPER!!!! LMMFBAO!!!!

    If you were not a fan b4, u MUST be now because that was a SICK SHOW!!!!
    can’t wait to see him live in TO on 10/31/09!!!!!!!!!!
    IT’S HOVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Bitch!

  8. wtf

    @ Lol
    Ok read this carefully because you obviously have a problem comprehending. I didn’t say I have common sense because I support Rihanna. I also never said people that don’t support Rihanna lack common sense. What I said was that Jimmy Choo presented a point that made sense and I agreed. The reason I responded to you was because you directed your comment to me. There’s nothing you could do or say to hurt my little feelings because you are nothing but a person on a computer. A nobody to me. Also, I couldn’t care less what Rihanna stans do on here or how many names they use. If you’re going to accuse me of doing something have some proof or just be quiet because you look foolish. So umm nope I’m not mad at all.

  9. new post

    AS I PREDICTED, AN ANGRY WORSHIPPER HAS REPLIED
    @ 2 BAD
    YOU SHAMELESS MOFO. YOU’RE GETTING MAD CUZ I SPOKE THE TRUTH. RIHANNA DOESNT KNOW YOU, YET YOU ACT AS IF YOU’RE BEST OF FRIENDS WITH THE WAY YOU DEFEND HER. STFU AND STOP KISSING HER AZZ. SHE’S NOT MY PROBLEM, IT’S THE STANS, THE FOOLISH MOFOS LIKE YOU WHO MAKE ME MAD WITH YOUR STUPIDITY AND NOISE. YOU MAKE IT VERY HARD FOR PEOPLE TO APPRECIATE HER
    AND YOU DO CARE WHICH IS WHY YOU REPLIED MY COMMENT. I-D-I-O-T! HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ON THIS SITE CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU COMMENTED IMMEDIATELY MINE WENT UP. DAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMNNNN……IT’S REALLY NOT THAT SERIOUS LMFAO

    I’LL SAY IT FOR THE LAST TIME…. GET A LIFE YOU SAD SAD CHILD!

  10. wtf

    @ Lol

    Not to mention you know damn well Beyonce stans, Chris Brown stans, and just all around Rihanna haters use multiple names on this site to make their comments. So don’t act like it is only the Rihanna stans. Now I’m done. I have wasted enough of my time on you.

  11. 2 BAD

    @ New Post
    Chile please! Lmao! You can voice your opinion but I can’t? Bullsh*t! Rihanna doesn’t know you either so why you mad she got fans on CL? You’re the one all upset that people like her. Why don’t you try not being such a b*tch and maybe people will like you too. Hateful azz ho! It’s always “not that serious” when we have something to say back to you well you made it that serious when you started talking sh*t. Gtfoh.

  12. DJ DAVE

    This was fire! Jay definitely did his thing. There was so much energy in the Garden! Everybody had a great time.
    Of course my boo Robyn Fenty was the highlight of my night.She looked soooo hot!
    Jay made NY proud!

  13. keep it real

    Well Rhi Rhi done it again she is just so flawless and her swag is the best. I see how the crowd went crazy for her can’t blame them though. The girl is fire!!!! the baddest out there @ this moment. Jay Z know what it is I see loves to keep her around anyways the concert was great. P.S I wander why he does not address B as his Wife or Mrs Carter ever? the shout out was weird to me it came off very platonic. But maybe its just me did anyone else notice?

  14. Supreme

    About time Rihannas doing something relevant

    Beyonce looks great! I love Marys Glasses! Justin Timberlake looks weird lmao

  15. WORD

    Now this why i simply cannot stand rihanna and other celebs anymore. It’s mainly because of their fans/stans. This was Jay Z’s concert, but because rihanna performed, all of a sudden, like they always do, her stans turned the whole post into their usual rihannadaily site.
    It’s really difficult to say something nice about her with all the rudeness coming from her stans. You keep talking bout how she doesnt care what the non-fans think so why on earth do the remarks bother all of you. Are you rihanna? her fam? i’m lost. I’m still in shock over how one actually copied and pasted her achievements on this post. That was so unnecessary omg. You all just need to relax. There will always be those who dislike people you adore so i dont see why there always has to be so much drama involved. Anihoo, as much as her stans make me mad, i’ll still admit Rihanna looked hot. Glad to see her performing again. Beyonce was good, Jay Z was excellent and Kanye was amazing!!!!!

  16. Lool

    Rihanna’s and Beyonce’s stans r so funny omg i can’t help but laughing @ them going back and forth on who’s best, who got swagger and who’s killing or slaying who. It’s just laugh out loud am enjoying this game here lol But yet they all (Bey’s and Ri’s stans) saying the exact same thing calling each other asslickerz, haterz when they all doing just that. Keep those comments coming stans we’re enjoying it very entertaining for a boring sunday lol

  17. agreeing with #256

    @ 256
    u cudnt have said it better. they’ve been cracking me up since CL put this post up. well mostly rihanna stans cause beyonce’s stans stopped commenting yesterday. all the comments on this page (4) have been from rihanna’s stans and haters arguing back and forth over someone who does not know them. it’s funny yet depressing to see so many people wasting so much time on such irrelevant nonsense.
    like someone said earlier, this concert was mainly for the 9/11 victims but the stans have made their way into turning it to a ‘battle of the stan’ post. beyonce and rihanna would probaby laugh at their so called ‘stans’ cause they don’t defend themselves that much, fo real though. it’s getting worrying now, i cant even call it stanning anymore, it’s more like an obsession/ worshipping. if you’re not getting paid to be a ‘stan’, then can i just say, you’re in need of some serious psychological help and a lot of self confidence lessons. don’t mean to be rude or anything but yaw need to quit the bs. i hope you’re all under the age of 16 btw or else….i’ll just stop there!

  18. Crown Jewel

    As far as I am concerned the only true queen on that stage was Mary J. Be needs to go find her a chair and get a wee dose of botox. Rihanna is handling hers.

  19. bbeauty

    This is to all Rihanna’s fans…….how can she get better if she gives performances like that and yall on a website saying she was great……..You are the reason she’s not getting any better performance wise……

    Beyonce…KILT IT…….

    And everybody else did their thing

  20. msblknasty1

    why does bey look sad for some reason or another…. something is off with her lately…. jay is a handful i bet…..lol

  21. STAN DUMMIES PLEASE CLIMB OUT THE TEUNK OF BEYONCE CAR SO SHE CAN STOP LAUGHING AT YOULD

    Did you Beyonce stans know that the dummies in the trunk of the Diva video that she set on fire represents you guys the stans or should I say dummies she lit a match too. Continue being dummies and mabey Beyonce will shout yould out in her next video; who knows mabey she will have you guys under water next time and laugh in yould face.

  22. keep it real

    @ # 260 I agree I have notice that to but more so lately. Cld it be that Jay seem to go out of his way to have Rhianna is his presence? He made sure she was on his new cd and it has been rumored they were seen off spending time together w/o B. While working on his new cd. And I am sure this is a constant problem in their marriage because why wouldn’t it be considering all the past relationship rumors with the 2 of them. And rhianna is a very beautiful young lady with major swagger and talent. So I am sure Ms Bey is not a fan of this type of female being welcomed by her husband all the time. I mean he could have put B or anyone else on his cd but he chose rhianna. Besides Jay and B do not seem to have chemistry when I see them out in public. This is some of where her sadness is coming from@ least this is what I think it makes sense to me. I thing there is trouble in paradise and the stress is start to show on her and she is aging rapidly to I wish her the best though.

  23. tiffany

    IT IS SO SAD THAT YOU ALL WORSHIP THESE PEOPLE. WHAT IN THE HELL HAVE THEY DONE FOR SOCIETY 4 REAL BUT TOOK OUR MONEY? THEY DO A FEW CHARITY CONCERTS JUST TO BENEFIT THEIR SUPER EGO. I REALLY DON’T THINK IT WAS FOR A GENUINE CAUSE. IT IS SO SAD. I THINK TEACHERS, NURSES, AND FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD GET THEIR SALARIES. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO WORK VERY HARD FOR OUR FUTURE. WHAT DO THEY GET ON RETURN? A MEASELY CHECK AND UNGRATEFUL CITZENS. AMERICA HAS THEIR PRIORTY IS MESS UP. IF TEACHERS STOP TEACHING AND DOCTORS/NURSING STOP SAVING LIVES, THEN WE KNOW WHO ARE THE REAL HEROS.

  24. dat chick

  30. MONICA

    @lulu Jay was the first to give shout outs at the end of his concerts, Beyonce copied him he sings about it in venus vs mars further more Jeezy and Nas were the first to rap about all black in My President is Black so Jay swagger jacked the concept form Jeezy and Nas as usual

  31. MONICA

    @lulu listen to the Jay z diss towards the end in Venus vs Mars for swaggerjacking his style

  32. MONICA

  34. LovelyStar*

    Saw it on tv and I must say, it was definitely worth watching!!!

  35. Jaden

    Jay’s Pyramid is crisp lol jk

  36. Joyce

    All of them are doing something undercover, something is wrong with this look
    dark, scary and I wouldn’t pay a dime for none of them. Old ass people putting
    sign in the air. Nothing Good about this.

  37. EMPIRE STATE OF MIND

    Beyonce KILLED bishes in less than two minutes. Meanwhile Rihoeanna was walking around not knowing what the hell to do on stage. This girl is not a performer. She didn’t even have enough smarts to know that you don’t a microphone on top of amplifiers. WTF even a no-talent-having-ass like Cassie knows that shit.

    Hov, Bey, Ye, Pharrell, Mary and John Mayer KILLED it!

  38. EMPIRE STATE OF MIND

    And Justin looks wack as hell. Looking lost as hayle.

  39. Billie

    of all the diva’s at the concert I personally thought Kanye was the best of the lot.

  40. tld

    That Hov is a BAD dude wife and girlfriend together and the wife never says a thing.. He is BADDDD!!!!

  41. I LOVE THIS GAME

    @277 Beyonce ASSLICKER , ur God beyonce is the ass look at her ,,,she’s doing a fucking Mockery ,,, at this 911 RIP show ,, Beyonce does an AIRPLANE performance to New York ,, what an ass .

  42. KEEP IT 100

    YEAH BEYONCE KILLED IT ALRIGHT. SHE LOOKED LIKE SHE WANTED TO KILL SOMEONE WITH THAT PLANE SHE WAS FLYING AROUND ON STAGE. I CAN’T BELIEVE HER STANS ARE AGREEING WITH THAT MESS. SHE NEEDS HER HEAD CHECKED. SURELY SHE CAN’T BE THAT HEARTLESS AND CLUELESS! THEN AGAIN SHE HAS LED A VERY SHELTERED LIFE. SHE IS KIND OF SLOW. POOR GIRL.

  43. EMPIRE STATE OF MIND

    ROTFL you mad Rihoanna stans/Beyonce haters? Everyone knows you’re one and the same. Leave it to delusional Riri stans to go so far and REACH about a damn dance move. I’m a New Yorker THROUGH AND THROUGH so don’t come at me with some BS like that.

    When Hov is spitting about girls being lost and losing their way he’s talking about your pathetic idol, Rihoanna. Don’t be mad.

  44. Jazzy

    I really dont understand why folks like to hate on B! Jay along with everyone he brought to help support the 9-11 event ripped the stage! Folks always wanna hate on whats real! You aint gotta buy the reccords she still gone shine! She need to make a message for Miserable Haters! Get a life! Yall the reason she on top! Help me get there by Hatin on me!

  45. backingbarack

    beyonce was good but jay didnt seem hyped about it and didnt even make contact with her at all. they are so suspect.

    rihanna looks older with that blonde mess. that girl was lip signing to a track she prerecorded to make it seem like she sang it live. singers do it all the time. trust i kno i used to work as a sound technician.

    plus that hook does not take much talent or range to deliver.

    im sorry but i wasnt feeling mary twerking and jerkin her body like that on stage. i dont like her voice. never did and never had but i didnt mind the performance.

    kanye west is to hyped and is like a damn puppy who doesnt know what to do with himself jumping all on the stage.

    i dont like diddy and am not a fan but i do like when he comes on stage bc at least he knows how to have a good time. he gets everyone involved and i like that only sole thing about him. i surprised he didnt come out with dawn and that other chick. diddy is always making shameless plugs…..

    overall the best performances of the night and what i looked forward to was beyonce and second mary j. i feel like jayz took the easy way out bc he def would not have sold out or gotten viewers to watch if he was solo and didnt have all these other featuring acts. lord knows thank goodness he did bc i cant take jayz rapping longer than 30 secs.

  46. Oh-Boi

    Illuminati want my mind soul and my body haha. . syke. (I think?)

  47. after a double take Rihanna killed Bey on the vocals

    I love and hate beyonce and rihanna the same initially I thought beyonce killed it, but when I watched again beyonce looked amazing she had a few clownish moments, rihanna looked amazing and her hair could have been a little better she could have looked at the camera more anyway my point is after a double take RIHANNA WON ON THE LYRICS sorry stans

  48. Debra

    I’m not going to lie I went in hating on Jay but I very much enjoyed the show. We saw it commercial free on Fuse. Kanye stole the show for me, Beyonce and her crotch shots I could do without, I’ll be glad when she quit doing that shit. Cuase to me you aint no Diva! Also was impressed with Jay when he did a melody of some of the hits and he included Fiesta! loved it!

  49. HALCYONC

    Tina WITCH Knowles in the house…lol! That b*tch just looks evil. I see where Beyonce got her “Sasha Fierce” from. Crazy b*tch.

    GAY-Z always seems to enjoy performing with Mary J. He looks happy too.

    Rhianna has more ass than Beyonce. Poor thing.

  50. HALCYONC

    Good for Mary. She kept it clean. She doesn’t need to have her ass(flat ass in Beyonce’s case)hanging out. Take note Rhi and Beweavable.
