After a high-energy opening, Eminem ceded the stage to a fast-paced nothing-but-hits Rihanna -concert, with the singer racing through 17 songs in a little over an hour. She is a commanding presence onstage—there’s a catatonic charisma to the way she occasionally puts little or even negative effort into singing into the microphone. But somewhere between “What’s My Name?” and “Umbrella,” it started to feel as if the audience was singing half the song for her—it was like watching a ridiculously confident karaoke singer lead the world’s largest Rihanna sing-along.
As an entertainer, Eminem is both more energetic and more needy, and the show took on a looser vibe when he took over after the “Love the Way You Lie” handoff. Flanked by hype man Mr. Porter, he thanked the crowd for “making me feel at home” before launching into a set that included recent songs (meh), deep cuts (cool!), and finally, a medley of golden-era Slim Shady classics (incredible).

Come to think of it.
All of the OTR tour reviews were postive.
Maybe Beyonce and Jay bought their reviews too.
Then the Detroit rapper belied his words by delivering a boisterous, full-throttle performance that vastly outshone Rihanna's own.
Bolstered by eight dancers and a live band, Rihanna strutted and gyrated around the stage, frequently thrusting and groping her crotch. The singer managed to pound out a slew of hits in shotgun fashion, including Talk That Talk, Rude Boy, Umbrella and Pour It Up.
Toward the end of her run, the lights dimmed and the crowd raised glowing cell phones to accompany Stay, an evocative ballad that concluded with fireworks leaping up from behind the stage.
Eminem's portion of the set opened with a surge of energy, one the audience had clearly been holding in anticipation as Rihanna performed.
Rihanna took the spotlight for a few more of her hits, including Diamonds and We Found Love, toward the end of the night following Eminem's performance of Not Afraid. But the emphasis lingered on the other headliner. It was the Eminem show, no question. His renditions of Lose Yourself, from his film 8 Mile, and The Real Slim Shady, earned an impressive response, notable reminders of Eminem's sizable influence on music and pop culture over the past two decades.
Rihanna may not be the best vocalist/singer but when she is on the stqge there is just really something so appealing about her. From what I jave seen on the Monstertour tags from instagram, Em and Rih really put on a good show.
Love to see the Hive participate in things about Rihanna.
But i have a question.
Why bother the Navy, trolling all day in our threads, when your faves tour is supposedly doing well?
Leave us alone and go in the OTR thread.
Y'all say Rihanna is not a threat but yet y'all stay perched in threads about her.
Be like your fave and stay quiet.
and we still have five more shows to go
