Went to the LOUD Tour in Dublin last night and she ****ing slayed me!
Promo performances don't do her justice, on tour is where she truely shines as a performer. I love Rihanna but I never rate her as a great performer, but the tour proved me wrong. Her vocals sounded great on Hate That I Love You, Unfaithful and California King Bed and for every other songs, vocals didn't matter that much cos she has such a crowd charm thanks to just being her and everyone knowing pretty much all of the songs on the setlist off by heart. I mean the crowd energy and chemistry was better than Gaga's Monster Ball. Was loud as hell, she basically sat down for all of Take A Bow and let us sing it since we started singing it before she came on to perform it. An artist managing to give a crowd such an electric atmosphere makes a concert much more enjoyable. Cheers live was amazing, my favourite of the night, that and We Found Love! Oh and she definitely blew me a kiss when she came over to our side, she was looking straight at me and everything.
Only complaint was the screen footage for interludes and during the song performances, they were really boring and bland, and was the exact same footage shown over and over again throughout the song. Maybe I wouldn't of payed attention to it if there wasn't like 5 big screens showing the same thing! Oh and the tour stage looked kinda bare and low budget, same with Britney's Femme Fatale tour. Still didn't take away from the flawless night. And she's seriously the sexiest woman alive when you see her in person.
Which reminds me, the bitch needs to release a LOUD Tour DVD fast!

Woow, thank you for your nice review!
And some people really need to realize that they shouldn't judge the tour and the performances only by watching LQ youtube videos. You have to experience it live!
I am having massive Rated R nostalgia right now, and I'm wathcing RR interviews. I found one I haven't seen before, and Rihanna says here that the 4th single was probably going to be between "Stupid in Love" and "Photographs". The video has a few different interviews throughout it, but I'm mainly posting for the press conference. Also, excuse the last twenty seconds of the video; it plays Eva Simons "Silly Boy" for some reason.

And look how it turned out... Those are considered one of the weakest on RR in general

I don't want to admit it, but "Photographs" probably would have done alright due to the 'ballad gone dance' production. I'm happy that "Rockstar 101" and "Te Amo" were singles, though.

Why thankyou!
Exactly! Youtube videos seriously do absolutely no justice to the artist performing and the tour overall. Performances you would brand as weak from YT videos a lot of the times turn out to be the ones you had the most fun watching live.

why did I just see some 6 seconds of a fake sex scene (I hope it was fake ) and Rihanna nudes?
