^No you can't deny it but it's not all about being decent or good just on award shows when you don't even try to say more than 2 words in a row on your concerts (not to mention the messy vocals). And that's a big thing. Rihanna can have a tour (at least for now) based only on her hits, I mean that's the reason for someone to buy a ticket for her tour (talking about the GP). If the next album will not produce some big hits, her tour will suffer and we now it very well. We saw that recently with another artist of her generation who is considered a good performer, but due to the lack of hits with her last album, her tour did less than half of the money her previous tour did. If she won't take seriously her improvement on performing, her touring future will be bad.
Sometimes I'm wondering what the hell are the members of her team saying to her on that field? Don't they see her weak points to make her work more on them or they are just ass kissers??? Guess will never know!
I don't have any expectations for Rihanna for RIR. After 2014 I thought this year would be a great year for her vocally. I'm not quite sure what's going on with her voice. She's had some good moments this year but yeah her passion does seem to be everywhere but on stage.
If anyone is hoping for her to be doing F5, and G5's and hitting 6th octave notes I don't see that happening. Rihanna's middle range is her strongest and that's usually where she sings live.
Her last RIR performance was dragged so hopefully she can redeem herself.
I remember when she casually announced the Loud album in the Rihanna Daily chatroom and
everyone including myself was freaking out and excited.
Now we're lucky to even hear her mention or act like she remembers R8.
I'm just going to hope that she's secretly been really busy and has been rehearsing and getting ready for Rock In Rio on the low and will surprise and shock everyone when the time comes.
She is gonna attend a Travis Scott concert probably
