here we go.... I knew she would start getting lazy with this song..... by the end of this leg she will sing two words max( what now teas )..... her lazy ass will never change
K but you're doing the most, it's not that serious. Relax or leave the thread if you're gonna keep complaining.
Just watched some vids from the past show. You can really tell this is the most comfortable she has ever felt on tour. A lot of people who went are saying this tour really just focuses on Rihanna, nothing else to distract it. I think that's so dope to have a tour like this in a career.
My 2nd fave tour of her's, can't wait to experience it in June.

So you're moaning because she's trying to get in the audience involved? Lol.
I guess you didn't like 'Stay' at Rock In Rio then? Chill, she was prob just mad hype they knew all the words + wanted to interact with them. It's not like she didn't sing the song at all. The navy sometimes.
It’s been over 10 years since Rihanna’s first album came out, and the pop singer has taken control of the reigns and has turned into one of the most prolific and talked about artists in recent history.
With extravagant costume changes, a suspended catwalk over the crowd, and enough twerking to last us until 2017, Rihanna owned the stage for a quick and cool 85-minute show at The Palace.
Starting the show, in the crowd, performing slow burners “Stay” and “Love The Way You Lie Part II” (sadly with no Eminem) was an interesting choice for the singer- and it payed off. Most pop singers start off with a huge banger to get everyone pumped, but Rihanna’s presence alone did that.
She was then suspended on a catwalk that floated above the audience and that’s when the show really took off. She did an excellent job of mixing her old radio hits like “Umbrella” and “We Found Love” with new hits from her bumpin’ new album Anti. Songs like “Sex With Me”, radio hit “Work”, and “Desperado” fit effortlessly into the Rihanna canon.
She also reminded the crowd just how many songs she has lent her powerful vocals to. Performing snippets from Jay-Z’s “Run This Town”, Kanye’s “All of the Lights”, T.I.’s “Live Your Life”, and Drake’s “Take Care” really showcased just how influential and in-demand she is as an artist. Everyone wants to work with Rihanna, as they should.
The crowd at The Palace was in rare form for RiRi. She told the screaming fans halfway through her set that, “Y’all are honestly making me feel like I’m from here.” The adoring crowd roared with approval and applause.
Rihanna does seem like she’s from here, though. Her hard-working aesthetic meshes perfectly with the DIY-narrative that follows Detroit. Plus, collaborating with hometown hero Eminem multiple times doesn’t hurt either (still bitter he didn’t show, though.)
Closing the night with a quartet of hits- “Diamonds”, singalong “FourFiveSeconds” and Anti album highlights “Love on the Brain” and “Kiss it Better”- Rihanna was alone on the stage with her band, backup singers, and herself. “I can’t stop smiling, y’all,” she squealed to packed arena. Neither could we.
I'm going to share a rather unpopular opinion on the Anti World Tour.
First of all, I agree on the stage being absolutely fantastic - I'm in love with the simplicity and minimalism that she embodies in this era. The aesthetics are great, the outfits are good enough. I really love the whole scenography and I really wanna see it on a DVD/Blu-Ray or at least an HD stream. I love all the little details on the stage.
Secondly, I also love her energy while she's dancing. Choreography is on point on this tour!
BUT
From what I've seen on all the YouTube videos, she sings too little from each song. And while she sings, her voice sounds great but why perform all of these songs if you're going to sing 40-50% of them and leave the rest to the audience. After all, it's not a DJ show or something. I get that she wants to interact with the crowd but it becomes a little too much. True, she's done similar things in most of her previous tour. But having seen all of them live, I believe this is the tour she really sings the least in. Most of the songs she perform are not even that hard to sing. And during the hardest one - Love On The Brain - she sings most of it live and it sounds GREAT. So it's not like she can't sing. I don't get it. + Not to mention that this show is like barely 80 minutes long and The Diamonds World Tour was almost 2 hours.
I think most of us agree so i wouldnt say its a unpopular opinion
If there is one thing that this tour is missing its either a longer setlist or extend the songs (or some) to full length.. the show is on the short side so she has time to do it.
The WFL/HDIYL mashup slays but its very short.
That is the only negative about this tour, it's so damn short. It feels like it's missing an act, a ballad one. E.g. Take A Bow, Never Ending, HTILY, Close To You, Unfaithful.. would be PERFECT.
