How does Rihanna get away with just "singing" with a mic in hand?

How the hell does that girl get away with singing with a dress on and heels as if she's Chaka Khan!?!?

I always thought that the female artists with weak voices would depend on elaborate stage settings and crazy dance moves to take the focus away from their voices

Why isn't she doing this?

Maybe it's a culture thing? In some places, it's quite normal to not dance around.

maybe because she wants to be thought of as being boring as well as having a weak voice? shrug

LOL! I mean she's the type of artist that SHOULDN'T be doing that
That's like Ciara singing with a dress and a mic in hand and that's it confused

It's weird, when she first came out, she used to dance a lot (she would do a lot of belly dancing and wining and stuff) and then she sort of stopped with the elaborate choreography. Now she just sorta prances. lol She's gonna have to step up her program next time out, though.

Um....is this really worth a whole thread?

Don't most of you people here judge pop stars on trying to distract from lack of talent using elaborate stage settings and craziness?

Now it's bad if they don't do that?

Why are you watching her performances if you don't like her?

I think the answer is EVERYONE sounds better when they are not dancing compared to when they ARE dancing. And Rihanna doesn't lipsync. She sings. But she has dancers now. Yeah she used to dance.
