She slayed What's My Name....Only Girl could have stayed at the house.

Wtf was thatttttttt. I got all ****ing excited bc before the movie started tonight they actually played Cold Case Love. I was ****ing shocked...the movie sucked (save ur money..don't see Paranormal Activity 2)...and then I come home to this.

WMN was good. I had a strange, strange feeling she's **** up the words. Overall it was good but I didn't like the live rendition from the band and the backup singers did no justice at all. It would have been better if she sang it alone. And idk if there was something wrong with her mic or if that was some sort of effect but it was annoying. But overall I enjoyed it.

Maybe I should change to Rihanna avatar, and won't get attacked for having the same opinion.


Anyways I hope the X Factor performance slays, I was really excited for tonight. Maybe a full stage, production, etc. will make it epic-er.

where are the videos for the Only Girl performance? I need to rewatch that!

[Deemy]

You people have to realize that SNL performances usually have that soft rock coffee house feel to it. the productions of both songs cant just be duplicated in that setting. If they did.. people would think there was a backup track playing. We dont want an Ashlee Simpson incident.

She did ok.. It wasnt mind blowing but it was ok. We will see how she do on a much bigger stage with the X Factor performance and the AMAs and EMAs.

I got church in the morning and its getting late but i'll leave you girls with this.

[Grim]

That doesn't make sense bc she did find last yr with RR & Hard as far as the band goes. Whatever, I'll listen to it again tomorrow.

Eminem made a shoutout to Rihanna's S&M track in "Roman's revenge"

[TRL Girl]

What were the lyrics?

[thewaitinggame]

What's My Name was PERFECT.

OG...well I think it would've been good without that god awful vocoder. WTF was that? It actually sounded like she was hitting the notes...but that thing just ---------------------------------------------------------------------.

Shy Ronnie was amazing<3

I will soon type the words..

"Whats My Name" was good, forgot to note. The back-up singers though. They were off-pitch sounding. I need Shy Ronnie on mp3.

gurl, those are pop/rock tracks, the live band arrangements are perfect for them. These 2 songs of now are more pop and some of the pop effects are not easy to be reproduced. But riri being the artist she is, she's not going to play on a recorded track, even though that might sound better on TV

WMN was great, i was not in doubt of that one. I need to see again Only Girl, but it wasn't her best

"I aint no S&M but my whips off the chain" - Eminem


could this be a clue for the song. The lyrics in riRi's song is "whips and chains excite me". Em is on the album so of course he must have heard the album.

Alright well I don't like the live renditions then.
