TV BIT: RIHANNA PERFORMS ON ‘SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’

May 7th, 2012

Rihanna made her third appearance on Saturday Night Live and performed “Talk That Talk” sans Jay-Z (but with a slice of “Birthday Cake”) and “Where Have You Been”.

The sets were unlike anything in recent episodes, but Rihanna did not appear in any fan-favorite skits like she did in 2009 and in 2010 with Shy Ronnie. Peep the performances below.

      That’s the perfect word for her. She’s a goddess for wh0res, so it’s no wonder how the black woman conducts herself when one looks at who her idols are. This female, Rihanna, understands that all her power comes from v@ginal worship, and she clearly worships her own v@gina (as used up as it is). All of her choreography revolved around petting herself lol & smh. If a man was to actually “write his name on it” like she suggested in her silly song, he must be using a pencil, because it will be erased for a new name eventually.

      1. I am not a fan of this girl but I have listened to her songs.
      2. She can sing. When she just came out I heard her sing live on radio and she could hold notes.
      3. How do you@Judah, know that she is a whore?? U f*ucking her?
      I dont agree with the vigina grabbing and the over sexualised videos especially as she has young fans but you do not know who she sleeps with and infect it’s non of you bees wax.

      4. This chick used to care but it’s obvious she is just going through the motions to make her money. Money that non of us on here have but we all want to comment on her life. Lol

      @WAKE UP

      You just proved my point for me lol. Like I said, Rihanna is a goddess for wh0res. That is why you stated that “haters” (of your goddess Rihanna) will “go to hell” lmao. You’re an idolater, and a pathetic one at that. You’re the same turd that was on here trying to galvanize entertainers to “stand up” for Trayvon Martin. In your feeble mind, entertainers are gods smdh. I also agree with you that her songs tell “her story”. All her songs are about how big of a wh0re she is and how many men she’s slept with.

    No her voice is not a Jennifer Hudson, and her dance moves are not a Beyonce; but she did HER thing. I thought it was great.

      Right she most definetly has no j.hud vocals.. shes a pop singer her voice is pop with a little soul.. shes a better singer that britney spears and if she wanted to dance like beyonce she could, beyonce doesnt have any technical dance moves shes just wild.. next time use a real dancer as an example like Janet Jackson lol

    Gone are the days where you have to be able to dance and sing to be considered a dancer/singer *blank stare*

    This is why I’m glad Ciara coming back,, so she can show Rihanna how to dance and give the world some real entertainment!

      Where did Ciara go? LOL I see her on CL every other day. Ciara was poppin and locking before Rihanna became a big star,if she was gonna show someone something,she would have done it already. Now, if Rihanna started poppin and locking like Ciara,then ppl would say she is “swag jackin” or whatever. There is enough out there for everyone.. The good thing is, you don’t have to entertain Rihanna at all.

      Why would ciara come back to FLOP again. As a fan of hers your really mean and clearly not seeking her best interest. ATL can keep that. She worked so hard for her up coming promotion at the waffle house. She has nothing to offer no one. She will always be some ones back shadow. Especially rihanna’s own

      Rihanna cannot perform for sh-t. Please go back and watch those videos… can’t sing and stiff AF. I’m sorry, Ciara>>>> even if she has flopped. Rihanna is just another pretty face and I guess that is what talent is nowadays.

    You know what. I really think Rihanna is the Madonna of this generation. She is not as talented, we know this, but she is beautiful, gritty, versitle and is an international star. People love her and her story. I hope she continues to blossom. I wish her the best!

    I love that Rihanna doesn’t give a f**k, and does what she does and collects her checks. I think she’s gritty and raw, and I love it. Sometimes people try to be commercial, and Rihanna doesn’t. It’s a you love me or hate me type of thing. Rihanna isn’t a blow your face off baptist singer, but is she on the level of like a Cassie or William Hung, hell no. Rihanna can actually carry a note, so I don’t get the whole she can’t sing thing.

    rihanna is so pretty, lol. but if she wants to dance and sing-she has to work on keeping her endurance so her vocals don’t lack cause the ending was not nice.
    but i gotta say, at least she sounds the same live and recorded.

    These were some pretty bad performances. Looking at the comments about how “well” she did, it looks like they’re coming from ignorant, ghetto people. Rihanna has turned into ghetto trash and cannot sing worth a damn. After 7 years of being in the business she is still not hitting those notes and sings flat all the time. The slapping on the co-chie was so stank, what Rihanna, does it itch?
