Bey is a perfectionist, and she wants to make sure EVERYTHING is perfect. She's an artist who loves detail, who's loves transitions, new arrangements, hard choreography, mixes elements of other songs into her own etc..
Rih is a person when you see them live it's like one massive party, she loves to interact with the crowd and make them sing along (which is why idk why you hate her saying 'sing' and holding the mic to the audience occasionally, because it really does make the crowd louder). She's not about hard choreo or perfect vocals.
If you see Rih in concert you are guaranteed to hear good vocals, loads of hits and have a party.
If you see Bey in concert prepared for everything to be perfect.
And that's why I love them both separately. For this next part I'm not saying Rih is coping Bey or anything before y'all start. 
But something Bey does is interact with the crowd, and she'll change the arrangement of the song (see the hey-hey part in SL, see 7/11, see Irreplaceable, see XO etc) and Rih did that this time round when she stopped Cake and the instrumental stopped and they sang that line, also with the 'Rio' part in Man Down.
I truely believe that Rih wants to go down that route she's just not comfortable yet, but let her do her thang for now and if she wants to perform with amazing choreo, and mix songs into hers. That's fine, but if you wanna see that check out Bey's Made In America set.

You're damn right on all of this. I get they're two different people, but I just wish Rih would put a little more effort into it. Maybe it was super humid that day and that's why it was harder to breathe, but you can tell she's practiced more recent/favorite songs over songs like Birthday Cake. I was cackling at her moaning, "Daddy—
wish—
CAKE—
FACE!" Where if you listen to Stay, Diamonds, and BBHMM; you can tell she's well-rehearsed on those. Lord knows why she's so rehearsed on Diamonds and Stay.
I don't know, I was just kind of let down. Definitely better than 2011, but when you compare this and March Madness to Valor and the Grammy's?
