[@janetmcabee4748]

You can tell she has & is still dealing with emotional pain & suffering. This was probably very healing for her to express her self in such a manner, letting the world & the offender know her heart was & is still broken. She is also telling others in her same situation to stand up & speak out, letting everybody know this was totally unacceptable. She can forgive but hopefully not forget so maybe she can take steps to fight back & ‘put the shoe on the other foot’ in the future. Good luck & God bless you Rihanna.

If u knew ANYTHING about that situation you would know that she said in her own words she was blinded by his love and just wanted to make sure HE was okay. her song with him “nobody business” was stated as her most regretted song- in her own words. she later on, after realising the album went to tell anyone (girls mainly) to not be blinded by love and to look at the situation from the outside. She was in love. And hurt. Grow the fuck up. Do you know how common it is for the abused to go back to their abusers? Very common. Ur comment wasn’t needed, either way if she went back it doesn’t matter. Pain is pain. Hurt is hurt, his was YEARS after and she was mature and probably still hurting as the original comment stated. Her going back doesn’t change how much pain she was out through. You’re gross.

Julie spit it out pooh

[@giselleajimenezosorio3957]

I keep finding myself coming back to this performance every once in a while, is so iconic. Like I don’t even know why I’m crying, her interpretation gets on my feels every time ❤

[@marinela343]

Can we agree that love on the brain is the best Rihanna's song

[@ulisesibarra433]

Have you listen to “higher “ ?

[@cindyfitzgerald4500]

It’s my favorite

[@sandy703]

I agree it's one of my favorite songs from her, I love her hair it really suits her

[@josienunnally3470]

3:06 THE👏🏽VOCALS👏🏽 I DONT KNOW HOW TO FEEL BRO

[@xxanimexx9905]

Her vocal range has improved SOOOOO much throughout the years. Like at the start of her career people were so critical about her voice and said it was weak and she just stayed in her comfort zone. But damn. I could really say i love her singing style more than Beyonce at this point (sorry for comparing, but i had to admit it). It’s stronger but not too strong (Christina Aguilera), it has a kinda growl to it which i love and i can hear the passion in her voice. I love her high notes, couldn’t ask for more❤️❤️ (Beyhive don’t come for me plz)

[@mpho242]

Everything about this perfomance is absolutely perfect. Perfectly imperfect. This is right up there with Amy Winehouse. It looks like something to be studied or put into a documentary, or something from the Amy or Etta James times. Very classically iconic and timeless. My brain can't comprehend how this is real and how I'm living in the same time and have been living when this performance happened and how she's still here today. Bruh.. it's one of those that belong in those kinds of archives you pull out when you're tryna remember a legend from the past who's no longer here. Wow wow wow

[@555dallen]

Well said!

SAME, the sheer furious and sad frustration it's so good

[@yinssleepydiaries380]

I was just lying in bed, thinking about this performance and the raw feelings you could feel when she sings. Then i opened YT and this vid popped up again

No you didn’t

[@twilight0star]

She can contort her face any which way and she looks stunning in every frame, such an incredible song

[@MarasWorld94]

You can tell from the grit in her voice & how much emotion she sung with that she loves hard.

[@videogamesaremytherapy1797]

I feel like one day in the future it's going to be "aesthetic" and trendy to listen to Rihanna because it's "classic" and old. I'm so glad I was born in the year 2000.

[@agirlisnoone5953]

🤣 what is this even supposed to mean?

[@victory9127]

@CosetteAsmr exactly and unfaithful

@CosetteAsmr you thought lol

[@agirlisnoone5953]

@@Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i meant what is "I'm so glad i was born in 2000" supposed to mean? She think she cooler than others for the year she was born? I was born in 89. Makes no difference.

[@사하-r2e]

This shows just how powerfull your emotions can be

[@abbiewright1916]

I cant get over her outfit! Those colors work so so well on her istg

[@miraclemaker403]

IKR im not a rihanna fan and im only just starting to get into her work. But man this outfit and the overall look is just ugh 😍 and the way she performs and looks like she's making love to the performance.

OMFG

[@michellec9689]

She really feels every word!

[@danielbarros7894]

[@user-zz9fu4ey7i]

this is the type of song that people will still listen to 50 years in the future. rihanna is simply timeless

[@LisaHooks]

I don't think shes sung any song with this much feel'n before, she feeln it for real, I have written songs like this.

[@awak3n707]

This is by far my favorite song of her, the performance is amazing too

[@palsp666]

She wasn't even looking at the audience but still slayed, imagine what she can do with her eyes open.

[@aubrey_reignz5484]

I get Whitney vibes Amy Winehouse vibes and Etta James vibes from this performance. She can captivate an entire audience just by staying in the same spot. A PERFORMER!!! She has one of my favourite voices PERIODT. I just love that unique raspy tone she has. Rihanna is an icon and I miss her so much.

[@lets.talkabout]

I got ALLLL of that vibes too. 😭 The emotion, the timbre, the interpretation... What a wonderful mix.

[@kalalingus7011]

This performance gives me chills wish the song sounded just like this so beautiful

[@theycallmevitch]

Fr listening to the original after this is not the same

[@bridget3364]

This performance is an example of someone achieving a moment of true artistry. Artistic expression can’t get much more raw than this.

[@rafaeltamez8705]

she deserves all the success she has, this made me feel sooooo emotional 😭 ily robyn

[@el713]

when you don't know where to put all these emotions inside of you

[@senai2501]

I felt it so much during 2:25 - 2:42 omg

[@sayhalee1000]

senai b I can’t stop watching

[@deejayr.8280]

She's right up there with amy wine house. The soul in these songs is just unbelievable. 🥺

[@renebautista4328]

2:26 Pure Heroine. I love this woman.

[@kaylar.6437]

EXACTLY

[@thatlthatjiminhandedeverya1018]

These are the best performances. The ones when the artist feels the music and they connect with the song not just through vocal ability but through the soul. It’s like the stars align or something. Truly a beautiful thing to witness and this is a perfect example of such a phenomenon.

[@joanne8317]

This has to be one of her best songs, if not the best. I already love the studio version so much, but the live performance does something to me I cannot even describe. I can barely hold back my tears. The way she expresses her emotions is amazing. You can tell that she has experienced some awful things which she sings about. Also, she has moved miles vocally since 2005. 17yo Rih could never pull off this song. Hope she will release some new music soon!

[@cathleenmccarty1001]

To sing with such passion after singing it sooo many times. It just goes to show how much of her soul was in that song. How much he took...

[@ranilobee]

Her billboard performance is solid 10/10, but this is gotta be at least 10X better.

[@thirteen7349]

Her billboard performance is better because she sings all the lyrics..but she slays:x even here :x

[@latashaatkins3763]

GOODNESS..THIS SONG GOT ME ALL UP IN MY EMOTIONS..BEAUTIFUL..

[@cancionesmuybonitas-anamar30]

Rihanna's feeling is the reason what this song was made for. Perfectly beautiful and raw.
