The other day my photographer Freddy O asked me when Rihanna’s Glow in the Dark Tour was coming to Atlanta. I gently corrected him and told him that the tour was headed up by Kanye West, not Rihanna. But I agreed that it might as well be Rihanna’s tour since nobody is checking for Kanye! Don’t I know how to pick my friends?
Anyway, Rihanna did her thing at the Nissan Pavilion in Virgina on Sunday. I’m told the reason her show bombed here in Atlanta was because she was a little under the weather.

Those boots almost look like roller blades cute pics looks like she has a good time performing
well she must have been under he weather in NC too b/c my people back home said she was a little less than entertaining there too…(putting that nicely). I was definitely not impressed with her in Atlanta.
Face it Sandra, she really doesnt have a lot of talent. Studio artist at best.
*the weather
Sandra, u really think ppl will spend their hard earned money on a tone deaf, big headed, barely platinum chick? Trust me, Kanye is doing her a big favor by letting her open for him!!! He knows this will be the only time she sees a sold out crowd
I’ll be glad when they manufacture another “it” girl … like the stepford wives … she makes my teeth itch
Her show bombed because NO ONE is checking for her! I know several people that have gone to the concert and when I ask them how Rihanna did, they simply respond, “She did ALRIGHT!” You know that Kanye ALWAYS does his thing! He is a GREAT PERFORMER!
KANYE RUNS IT! I seen the concert, Kanye is killing it, Rihanna is the Appetizer before the Main Course….You can’t get full off of the appetizer alone(or your money’s worth)
I don’t think it was because she was sick. I feel as though you can’t put Rhianna in a mix of artist of such substance as Lupe Fiasco, NERD, and Kanye. I am a big Rhianna fan BUT let’s face it, her music isn’t thought provoking. Therefore, she had no choice but to come up flat.
Sandra, you are too funny! I went to GITDC and Ri-Ri was stiff as a board, hell I get more enjoyment from watching Ciara at least she can dance! Ri-Ri her vocals sounded all right, but her performance was flat as one of the bloggers mention early. So, Sandra stop kissing Ri-Ri ass because you hate Bey so much!LOL!:)=
sandra, u r insane…kanye is the headliner because he can command the money and crowd…rihanna was a welcome addition and spiced things up a bit…regardless of what people think of kanye (outside his music), u can’t deny him being at the top of his game…the most memorable thing about her performances r the outfits…don’t get me wrong i like her music (catchy beats and i love hearing her accent) and she is a cute girl, but it stops there…
Please..everyone is checking for Kanye!!!
Rihanna is a cute performer but she isn’t a headliner!!!
I love her style!!!
Uh-huh Sandra…don’t play my Kanyeezy like that!!! Besides…I heard Rihanna was the weakest link on that show anyways.
I know thats you’re gyrl but hey the majority of people I knew that saw the show was NOT impressed with Ri-Ri…I heard Kanye and Lupe killed it though.
*I know…sorry for the typo!
I was there…I love Ri-Ri…but she was just ok. Kanye gave an excellent show. I’m not a K-weezy fan…and I actually only went to see ri-ri…
but Kanye’s show was great. I was really impressed. His band was crazy. The show was awesome. The graphics and lights and set up was really good. and the tribute to his mother was very touching.
my homeboy went to the show last nite and he said that kanye ripped it….gave a classic performance, he said that lupe surprisingly did his thang also….said that he didn’t expect much from him but he proved him wrong, and he said that rihanna was just okay. he said that she’s real skinny….said that she looks bigger on tv.

LMAO!
I like Ri-Ri - why is that funny? lmao. Why is everybody so hard on her?
I am liking the shoes on both pics they are very unique.
From what I read and heard Rihanna set was ok and nothing like NERD,Kanye and Lupe.
Ri-Ri, you know I gotcha back, but don’t do those old knee-knocking Tina Turn moves with your legs. They’re not even working for Tina anymore…and I love her too.
:^(
I Love Me Some Rihanna, but Nobody’s checking for her. I talked to many people that attended the show and all said she was boring and lacked energy.
cosign. Her show in houston fell flat toward the end, it’s about 20 minutes too long. She’s kind of what you call a “product” more than a singer.
During whatever that slow song is, I thought everyone was putting their cell phones in the air, turns out everyone was checking their EMAIL.

Awww, that wasn’t right. LOL!
Sandra please stop hating on Kanye. He had the best show ever. Full of energy. However, Rihanna was horrible and boring. She can’t sing worth crap and lacked energy. Also, how the hell u gonna sing “Umbrella” with no damn prop (i.e.umbrella). She is completely garbage. If it were not for her stylist and the studio she wouldn’t be as big. Besides, is it me or does she give off this lesbian vibe??????? Maybe it’s the boyish haircut.
She sounds good in those pictures………quiet
Bad Hellava!
That is not right.
Sandra love her some Ri-Ri!! That’s okay though I am the same way about TI I love him regardless!!
Ok where do I start, I swear Im not gonna be mean this time(lol) I think the Google Me chick would have fit the bill perfectly for the opener simply because she is like a female Pharell, Rhianna?? well I said I wasn’t gonna be mean the outfit went with the theme I guess(lol) I agree with whoever said her boots look like rollerblades(lol)!!!
lmao yall are bad!!!lmao
I heard Kanye kill it! everyone that went said Kanye West earned every penny they spent on them tickets, Rhi Rhi not so much, I heard Lupe did his thing too, but I heard he busted his ass on the ATL show(hope hes ok,heard he played it off pretty good though).
Sandra, I’m all for someone being in the running to dethrone Beyonce’s overkill but you always give Rihanna too much. I like her. She is stylish but her voice is weird and she has only “lucked up” (with the questionable help of JayZ no less)on good songs because have a father to pay everyone to vouch for her talent even though they do the real work (Bey). Now Alicia Keys could very well do it if she got the press that Rihanna does. Church. She has more genuine, natural talent in her kidneys than both of them. Anyway. If Rihanna could keep her tongue out of Chris Brown’s throat, she may be able to work….then again, is there a hotter throat to be licking right now than his?
Ri-Ri was the act to miss in LA at the Nokia, we was still having dinner, as she performed, and little teeny boppers screamed, she must have been shoved onto the tour cuz she seemed completely outta place.
