Gays love theatrics (see Britney spinning around like a drunken mess and belching into a microphone, followed by her fans screaming "yasss würk betch, you better SLaaaaAAAAAAaayyy!" just because her outfit is sparkly and the lights are rapidly changing colors).
I can imagine BOOOTney entering her Vegas stage, all lights off.
Suddenly, the 'DNN-DNN-DNN!" piano intro of Baby... One More Time begins as the lights FLASH on and - she smiles - letting out an ENORRRRRRRMOUS burp (her poor mic). The gays/bachelorettes CHEER and SCREECH.
Rihanna is often lackluster when behind a big production -- shouldn't it be the opposite for girlz like her
She's definitely a much better performer when she's stationary behind a mic and the song doesn't require big vocals.
Nah. She needs to hide that forehead lack of talent behind some shiny costumes and a big light show. When she performs she tries to adopt a rapper's/rockstar's persona more than a pop star style and she just doesn't have the charisma to sell it.
With hair pulled all the way back everybodys forehead can appear to be large. Hers is only slightly bigger than what we are used to but it's not as grotesque as you make it out to be

I definitely prefer her stripped down with just a mic but I love her showy performances too. Her productions are often cheap and lacklustre though (the DWT stage was just pitiful) which let her down.
