Rihanna Performs ‘Rude Boy’ On Ellen Degeneres

Sandra Rose February 15, 2010

Rihanna performed her hit “Rude Boy” on the Ellen Degeneres show today. We love RiRi’s dance hall moves! And her voice sounds a lot stronger in this performance. Maybe she’s working with a good vocal coach?

Lovely One

I must say, I like this song…and Rhianna’s dance moves :yea:
Anna

Wasn’t she just on Ellen, something aint right, Hey Portia, you better watch your wife.
VIBABY

“A lot stronger” aint saying much….the girls performance was as dry as her hair….
wtf

rihanna’s peformances are always dry..she never leaves me wanting more..she bores no matter how hard she tries!!
Ebony

She talked through the whole song
Lovely One

Premature statement. If Rhianna wouldve brought the same energy and dance moves (from the video) to the stage, this performance wouldve been a lot better.
SangriaSugar

Just more proof that Rihanna will never shut down a show…she is so boring…but the girl is very pretty!
vawnne

this performance sounds like lip synching..
Khunfuzion

Who said “Rude Boy” was a hit? Saying it doesn’t make it so. Sorry.

I’m gonna need this studio singer to stick with fashion. I saw Ellen and those stiff stripper moves was not the bizness. Ughhh her live performances make me wanna

ATTENTION ALL LAST DRAGON LOVERS!!!

No for real I just read on RWS that they are remaking the Last Dragon and Rhianna has a starring role. (I guess as Laura Charles) & Sam Jackson is playing Sho Nuff. I don’t know what to think about this. Who is fine enough to play Bruce Leroy? Some things should be left alone & I have a feeling this is going to be one of them.

Daisy

WERK BISH! LOVED IT and I already loved the song!! I like Rihannas voice she isnt the best singer but her unique tone works for her and her songs! She looked smoking HAWT as always!!

@Ice that rumor about her and last dragon has been floating around for a min is it final yet?
Daisy

@scandalous1 DEAD

@ Isc I think a remake would be good. All remakes dont suck, but nobody comes to mind for the Bruce Leroy character. Really cant think of anybody besides Will Smith in his younger days….

@scandalous- okay shim…… (j/p)

@vibaby

Even though he isn’t an “Actor” I was thinking Chris Brown.
VIBABY

Yeah @ Iscream….I forgot about Chris, but if Rih is that chick he wont be that dude,lol.
Anna

~~~~~~~~~~
I wanted to know this also. I know I assume most new ppl are female unless a pic or a username automatically defines them. The answer “both” was priceless.

@ missy

Naw you good honey. I can take a joke.
More so a proud Gay than a shim though.

The performance was nice !!!

She did a good job compared to other performances!!

I like this song!!

I can’t hear the video on the hotel computer, but I HAD to look at it to check out the “dancehall” moves since I know Riri is not a dancer. Cute for her. I don’t mind that she doesn’t dance. Many singers don’t; Mary J., Sade, Mariah, Keyshia, Alicia, etc. I don’t mind at all. She looks adorable as usual and that’s all I care about. I also don’t hate her voice. It’s her music in general that I’m not crazy about, but this song is growing on me.
http://createspace.com/3393054 iscream

@VIBABY

OMG I swear I truly forgot about that. woo damn… still
http://myspace.com/thegameoncw Bird

Much as I love her I’m not crazy about her playing Vanity’s role. I can’t think of anyone for either of the roles because “Bruce” Leroy Green was so young. Chris doesn’t have the innocence that he exuded in that movie, plus I’d kinda like the new guy to have “good hair” like Taimak. Does Taimak have a gorgeous son? Let him do it.

BTW I’m cool with a remake of this movie because the acting in the first one sucked big time. A remake would have to be an improvement in that area.
VIBABY

@ Bird Every singer you listed can actually sing…..
Cinderella

Michael Ealy would make a great Bruce Leroy even thought I don’t want that movie to be remade.

VIBABY

@Cinderella I think Michael is as fine as they come but dont you think he is too old?
Ebony

I LOVE The Last Dragon. They should have Lance Gross play the lead
Daisy

If Quincy(Kim and Als son) knew how to act he could play the role in the remake
Daisy

Throw a track in Zoe’s hair she could be the new Vanity
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1gf8wD7NIk missy

I have never heard of The last dragon … (I’m really showing my age)
Ebony

If Soulja Boy could act he could play the lead
jazi65

I guess she needs to pop her coochie and swing 20lbs of weave past a wind machine to get some luv around here.

Compared to last year (stiff as a board when performing) I think her stage presence is improving.

****************************************

That is a matter of opinion. I feel very strongly that Alicia and Mariah’s singing is marginal at best and Keyshia can’t sing a lick. Many people say Mary can’t sing although I disagree. I think RiRi fits in that group just fine.
http://myspace.com/thegameoncw Bird

Daisy,

Yes yes yes. Quincy can do it! Even though he doesn’t seem very innocent to me either, but maybe an acting coach and good director could pull it out of him. Zoe just doesn’t seem like the damsel in distress type. What about her play auntie Keshia Knight Pullium?
Daisy

I think Alicia can sing, I have seen her in concert 3x. She will miss some notes here and there at times but she can still sing to me. KCole sings with emotions and MJB vocals have been ON POINT the last few yrs!

Rudy/keisha is to old IMO

Aint nothing innocent about Souljah boy
Daisy

The model Chanel Iman maybe
CivilEngineer

HEY FOLKS!!
VIBABY

@Daisy You think Zoe and Chanel can pull off the sexy though? They are cute and all but I dont know….
Princess Smarty-Pants

Helloooo Civil! Who is the woman you almost cropped out of the picture?
VIBABY

Hey @Civil I guess all the ladies ran out to fix their hair when you walked in :lolol:

MissGauzzz

Princess Smarty-Pants

Daisy,

Why not Jennifer Freeman and Tristen Wilds?
Daisy

@VI I am throwin out names lol maybe the other Zoe S. can play the part

Hey Civil
Princess Smarty-Pants

Wait Dasisy@ Not Zoe Zaldana but Zoe Kravitz? She has that sultry be a vixen when she grows (or cleans) up look.
Daisy

@Princess we are all just throwing out names for a movie that may or may not be remade. Jennifer does have the Vanity look so she could work but Tristian isnt cute enough for me
CivilEngineer

HEY @Princess & VI

That’s my ace boon, nothing more
VIBABY

Lol @Daisy Well open your hands and take those two back real quick…please and thanks :lolol:
Daisy

@Civil-Heeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Princess Smarty-Pants

Civil said he only sings at church. Anybody throwing panties up in there is gointo hell on a one way express ticket.
VIBABY

@ Princess Ok, church fans, hankerchiefs, collection money…whatever,lol
CivilEngineer

@VI I can sing and like Princess said only in church. I actually did a solo yesterday

@Princess…but I think I’d prefer dodging panties than bibles LOL
Mrs. Wimberly

Good Afternoon all. Just would like to say it is truly an honor to be apart of the Sandra Rose community!!!
Mrs. Wimberly

And since I am new here……how do I get rid of this screaming baby?
Daisy

@Civil I am waving my prayer cloth in the air at the thought of you taking it to Church singing I just wanna be your sister in Christ
cheeks8683

SangriaSugar

CivilEngineer

Just because she is so good folks like to think since I’m her daughter, I’m just as good…Somebody handed me a tamborine and let’s just say epic fail lol…I think I have a cute shout tho *don’t judge me on the shout rating* I have to admit tho I’ll look at people shouting and I’m like, they got a nice shout lol!
Daisy

@Civil My church is BIG on PRAISE and WORSHIP I use to be on praise dance ministry but stopped about 2yrs ago. I plan on resuming my dance classes at the studio once I finish with school next mth. I miss dance

@cheeks girl I can go to town on a tambourine!! I get mad when I see somebody playing off beat
VIBABY

Ok, I have an easier time remembering the gravatars over the names so please forgive me. @Cheeks are you the same cheeks who has the hots for Drake?
cheeks8683

@ Vi yep that’s me…I made my comments about my imaginary boo on the other post…he looked nice in his black suit :)…I actually had a dream about him last night, and it wasn’t a raunchy one, it was nice and pleasent…ahhhh.

@ Daisy man I wish I knew how to play…My grandparents still go to a backwoods country church and a lady that went there used to bang hers against the guitar amplifier lol!!! I loved that church though…they still use wash-boards and stuff…why does the pastor have a gold plated microphone??? Gotta love the country!!!
VIBABY

@Cheeks Ok, I just know you as “cheeks with the white dress”,lol. With so many new members I wasnt sure if we had another cheeks. I cosign with Civil..very pretty pic and I am cracking up at you being tambourine challenged AND miss Daisy “throwing down” on a tambourine. #howyoudothat :lolol:
cheeks8683

@ VI thanks! Yeah that was me in the *not to be confused with Lisa Raye* white dress on….unlike her i have a variety of colors in my closet lol…yeah i gotta work on my tamborine skills, I can hold a beat but I can’t do all that back to front side stuff lol…
Daisy

@VI I been playing a tambourine since I was knew high to a grasshoper I was born n raised in the church so they have small tambourines for kids #dontjudgeme! My nephew is almost 4 and already learning how to play the drums and can keep the beat already as well!
Go-Go Girlie

Her vocals sounded a lot stronger but her dancing was stiff
Shawnil

Hello SR. family, hating that they want to remake a classic movie, they are going to mess it up, but I want to throw out Tahj Mowry for the role of Leroy

Rhianna…i believe in you….do you believe in you!! The video was hot but the performance was lackluster. An improvement yes…..a stellar performance nah

_____________

I guess I can throw some names out for this rumored remake

(Laura Charles)Sasha not Beyonce, Solange, Amerie
(Bruce Leroy) Trey Songz, Terrance (106 & Park) or Wendall Lissmore (model)
Jazzy101

It amazes me how low expectations have gotten for todays entertainers..Now we are reduced to “pretty good” and “needs improvement” instead of “phenomenal” and “Amazing”.

What happend to expecting more from our artists? Anybody can wear cute clothes. I want to see your ass give me a damn show..Or atleast sing your heart out. Not look pretty. I could watch a fashion runway show if I wanted to see you look cute in some clothes. I swear Music and entertainment as a whole is DEAD.

And rihanna sucks period. I could care less if she’s pretty or has nice clothes she sucks as an entertainer period.
DeliciousOne

I thought this performance was good.
Hey Sandra are you going to find out why Fantasia really missed this weekend’s performances of the Color Purple? There is a rumour that boyfriend Cook was in town and wanted to spend Valentine’s with her but Fantasia says she had an inflamed throat and had been ordered to rest by her Doctor.

Daisy,

Why not Jennifer Freeman and Tristen Wilds?
*****************************************

I know I’m late and wrong, but I just had to respond because I love this idea! Or Jennifer and Quincy. Who’s going to get Hollyweird on the phone and fill them in?
http://myspace.com/thegameoncw Bird

Finally got to hear the video. She did a good job. I think that in concert I’d need some dancers to keep me interested though. If I were to ever go to a Rihanna concert, which I currently have no desire to do. Not even with dancers.
Nthabi

Why are her voice AND dance moves so Beyonce-esque? I thought her plan to make a departure from Beyonce’s style and carve out her own look/style was going extremely well!

Rihanna, PLEASE change course and continue doing YOU!

that is all.
MandaPanda0408

I usually think Rhianna can do no wrong but I thought she sounded terrible, like her heart wasn’t really in it maybe. And she looks like she’s having seizures up there. I didn’t like it, but to each their own, I guess, I do like the album overall tho, she always pleasantly surprises me!
mjt4164

wow that ri ri such a great role model for young ladies and she sounds and moves like she always horrible and stiff
quannie111

lmao! you all have made my night with the comments tonight! Wow keep them coming! Scandalous, Missy, and Vibaby, you all are killing me over here! lmao!!
