I kinda liked it.... but, not because of Rihanna... the SONG itself is simply brilliant and I just love hearing the SONG performed by a good band. And yeah, a great band can sometimes make a poor singer look good as is the case here.

Excately my thoughts, the song is just magic live.

It's funny so many people know it, when it was never released as a single.

Yeah but since its a Rihanna show, I would think there was nothing but a bunch kids in the audience. Kids meaning people in their teens and their 20's. That most likely wouldnt know that Prince song, non single/hit.

It's not the best sound, but a great performance for what I could hear.

Stars always say if a song is explicit it becomes bigger and sells more. I think this is an example

Nice trade off 4 "Rude Boy" Rihanna, Her voice isn't that gr8. But this song does fit her. Even though eye usually don't approve of Prince remakes besides "Get it Up" by TLC.

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince

She did ''Darling Nikki'' last night in Baltimore.

She also did ''Glamorous Life'' which she already did last tour too.

Enjoy. lol

[Edited 6/4/11 23:29pm]

She didn't sing that well enough for me, and I bet Prince is gonna have a fiT!!!

She did not let loose on this song, and that's the whole point. However, Prince was covering Rude Boy throughout his W2A tour, so he can't be too pissed...
