Yall wildin’ Rihanna sounded GREAT. Hate is a sign of evil and some of you people hate like thats what you were put on earth to do. Go to church. There was nothing glaringly obvious to hate on here. She hit every note.
Alicia did the damn thing as well. Powerhouse as always.

I think Rihanna started off a bit rocky. However, She picked it up at the right time and ended the song on the right note. There was alot od passion behide that performs and control at end, its always better to finish a song strong.

Rihanna could have sounded better but her voice did get better as the song went on.
Alicia killed it as usual.

at least we know that rihanna isn’t a homewrecka unlike this chick hoalicia. she should be used to holding pieces to her mouth…she probably thought it was swiss’s piece.
