So, Rihanna sang Sheila E's classic on her latest tour.

I thought this was an interesting choice after Rihanna emulated Sheila & her bodysuit recently, and she took up playing the drums.



Thoughts?

it's what i'd expect. Rihanna doing "the glamourous life" it's not bad.
she looks good though.

why is she so hot?

That was cuute.

I wish there was more footage of her playing the drums

It's still a hot song, that was nice...but she moves like Whitney

I was looking like oh hell no, she really about to jam on some drums, let me see what she got *CUT*

It's not good enough unless there's a moonwalk involved.

Oi.

She has NO emotions...like she lost her personality chip


I'd still smash, though

H O R R I D.

She has the personality of copy paper.

Ok, I hate Rihanna 100% now! I was
hating her like 90%, but now there's
no mercy! Damn, girl get your hands
away from these diamond tracks. Just
let it be! Stop it!

Rihanna is bad azz. i love her nd i think that song fits her well.

I'm not impressed by her playing drums like that now. That's easy.

What I AM impressed with is how she, as a totally rhythm-less person, can now play drums. Her instructor is GOOD.

I'm sure Prince will enjoy watching this. Sheila, on the other hand, is probably like: .

Why is her drummer playing louder than her!?

CHIC0 said:

Awww, Travis! I love him!

It doesn't do much for me (although the arrangement is pretty good...it's mostly her vocals, which are just kind of there). It's a really nice homage. She's obviously a fan.

And the body of a paperclip

I can't lie, when I saw her in 2008 ... she was great!!

She still moved as stiffly but she had dancers with her. Her live singing was good (believe it or not )

She did a different cover song on the show I saw; I forget what it was now.

I'm saying. Worst percussionist moment ever. What's next fake bass playing without it being on and the audience cheering? Bet she's working on that air guitar as we speak...

Yeah - that percussion bit was just painfull. Ok, do the damn cover but don't try to steal an act that you didn't master in the slightest.
Cardboard popstars - jeez
