      like it.. buuuuuuuut.. LADY GAGA does better live performances :)



    2. 2

      its better then her SNL performance. but this isnt a song she should try to sing live. its just not possible.
      mind you…theres not many songs she should sing live.



    3. 3

      and she needs to lose the "i wanna kill you" look she has with her eyes..its not cute…either is the lip curl.



    4. 4

      I can't deny it, I love this song



    5. 5

      she sucks, and so does that song



    6. 6

      The beauty of autotune, theres a HUGE difference between the demo & her live



    7. 7

      Sad. I loved this song! But sucks that she can't actually sing it live. Awesome song, should've left it to a real singer. Same goes for Katy Perry, can't sing big ranged songs live at all! What is up with these girls taking up music they can't actually sing? Stick with songs in your vocal range! It's disappointing when we want it live! Leave the big songs to Beyonce and Christina Aguilera!

      Rihanna's performance was OK….but can someone in the UK answer why Wagner is still in the competiton? I know the show wants to have novelty acts like Wagner and Diva Fever for the entertainment value but this is the 5th week and he's still there….does anyone really think he can have a recording contract? Simon said he'd leave the UK if Wagner wins and I don't think he was joking…and this maybe the end of X Factor in the UK if he does win.



    9. 9

      I'm a huge fan, but that was fucking awful. Like did she not practice at all?



    10. 10

      I LOVE THIS!!! SHE ISN'T SINGING POORLY….obviously it sounds different from the cd…ITS A DIFFERENT KEY.. incase you didnt notice she sounds a bit hoarse…like shes sick. so she sung it down a bit AS TO STILL SING LIVE! because SHES AMAZING. great!



    11. 11

      wow its amazing she could still stand. She was just here for a concert



    12. 12

      meh. Felt like she lost it in a couple spots. Her dancers were off-the-wall with energy, but Rihanna was like…not.



    13. 13

      gotta give props to Rihanna for having such a huge career with such a terrible singing voice



    14. 14

      It sounded like she was sick. Also, this isn't a good song to sing live with all those "loops" in it.



    15. 15

      LOVE :) really good considering it it was LIVE. plus very creative & pretty.



    16. 16

      Went to her concert in Australia…she was and still is such a disappointment with her singing and costumes…….. Wasn't a fan of Chris Browns…but thank God he was there….his singing, dancing and energy was amazingc…….we would have been crying over the money we spent on tickets otherwise……



    17. 17

      Jack White must love of this song.

      Re: mackaysa – Ha, love this comment. It's so true, because I haven't heard one good live performance out of her. It seems all the big names in pop (or mainstream music in general) just can not sing live, and their success relies on pro tools and autotune. It just sucks that people who can really belt it out get pushed onto the backburner because they may not have the look or edge that supposedly sells.



    19. 19

      oh dear. I love this song and have nothing against Rihanna but sheesh that was a horrible performance.



    20. 20

      Re: mackaysa – couldn't have said it better myself!



    21. 21

      Re: Alex Osorio – what does Lady GAGa have to do with this video? jackass. Anyway, this was ehhhh super boring.



    22. 22

      Rihanna was great and I really loved Jamiroquai too he sings it live every time!! loved the drama after his performance after the interview he did



    23. 23

      Re: Alex Osorio – They are both very mainstream



    24. 24

      I think that overall, she just isn't the best live performer. But it's definitely better than whatever the hell she was doing at the VMAs this year. Then again, I hate this song too….



    25. 25

      love it and she can actually sing well live :)



    26. 26

      she sounds like she's struggling so much with this song, it smacks of Katy Perry's Firework performance.



    27. 27

      This is a fun concept for the stage or video but i think she's not much of a live performer. I was wondering whether live performances can be auto-tuned?



    28. 28

      love her new look!!! So much more feminine!



    29. 29

      rihanna and her bff are both are no talent hacks who have careers for sucking the right dingalings………….

      sound like Generic Pop to me

      sounGeneric Pop

      That was a busy stage, too distracting. Dancing waiters, food, napkins, ballet steps…wth? It detracted from Rihanna, and, frankly, there wasn't much there in her performance to begin with.
      And Simon gave THIS a standing ovation? It wasn't deserved.
      Or, was this a case of, you had to have been there to enjoy it?



    33. 33

      ughhhh,i hate most singers today,they cant sing to save thier life
      i want michael jackson back so ffing bad
      stevie wonder can sing too :)



    34. 34

      I thought she did really well :) x



    35. 35

      Re: loulo – lmaoo! good 1



    36. 36

      generic pop.



    37. 37

      Saw this Sunday night, not bad. Her album's out on my b'day :D



    38. 38

      Love the epic intro! I think Rihanna can officially be called the Black Madonna. 25 million albums alone? Plus 50 million singles? Reaching #1 in 35 countries? That's totally on Madonna's level. Madonna's last two albums each went to #1 in over 40 coutries…Hard Candy holds the record for #1 debuts in the most countries (37) and "Hung Up" holds the record as the song which reached #1 in the most countries (45)…It even went to #1 in Iraq!!!!



    39. 39

      She does not have the strongest voice but it is far from awful. She is in tune except for the low parts out of her range. The chorus is perfect, so I am wonder if you all are deaf. Of course it's not as powerful as the original, no song should be sung with a belting voice through the whole thing, great way to lose your voice, so it's prob not a great song to sing live. I am not saying she is amazing but her voice is not shit like you all claim. She had the balls to sing live. Britney Spears, Madonna, and Perez's beloved Cheryl Cole lipsynch and everyone thinks it's fabulous, just sickening.



    40. 40

      I love this song!!! IT's just wow!



    41. 41

      Re: gerry in sf – your guess is as good as mine as to why wagner is still in the competition!
      i have nothing against him, im sure he is a lovely guy and all that but cant understand how he is still there!
      Real talent is leaving the show every week but wagner is still there, i wasnt worried at first but i am now, he has never been in the bottom 2 and we only have a few weeks left of the competition, surely he is not gonna win?? lol

      she could have done a great dance with this song, instead of just stomping around the stage.
