RIHANNA BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS 2016 (REACTION)

[@drewskie20100]

That performance was seriously a game changer for her though.. I'm talking CAREER DEFINING. its officially time for ALL the girls, including me, to stop overlooking her as a vocalist. She DID THAT.

[@virgobaby1996]

exactly how Im feeling

[@kennispowell803]

+Christina Powell SAME GORL....SAME!

[@alexzambrano2024]

thats true drew, thats happens when you put a artist to just sing just perfomance tell a story make people feels emotions. so rihanna was serving real singing. this happens to me with lady gaga in the oscar last year and this year and kesha recently like omg kesha could sing. so my level of respect for this girls increases a lot. sorry for my english.

[@arthustle8176]

Not the first time. Tho she always sings better when she's standing and she did good on her Grammys performance back in 2012 and her performance for the troops with Eminem

[@SIRGAGA123]

+Jesse Jess This is definitely her best record. Her signature landmark album.

[@NtandoyenkosiMbele]

I love the attitude. .. her attitude, shaking that head like that and rolling her eyes... that is on point for me

[@NyxSpirit]

I always thought this too. There’s a difference between singing and performing. She put on hella attitude and emotion on this.

[@BCommentary23]

This performance was definitely a game changer frfr. This is her best performance ever. Her vocals and emotion speak for themselves. If you didnt know, now you know, she can sing live and in general. She wasnt playing at all. #SLAYEDHONEY

[@aubreywitherspoon1232]

This isn't her best , that monster song is the best

[@secrets.295]

She isnt one of the greatest singer ever but she definitely isnt a bad singer. She can sing.

[@BAMOORE94]

Aubrey Witherspoon vocally love the way you lie with just her is her best

[@ShermanGill]

Okay to everyone saying this song isn't hard to sing, stop discrediting Rihanna here. She gave a showstopping performance. Rihanna has actually been giving vocals since she released Stay, but y'all have never noticed. Maybe this song is easy to sing, but Rihanna proved tonight that she is a unique and talented vocalist. Let her have her moment.

[@Jamaican_queen25]

Yes, Stay was a really good showing some of her vocal ability. Loved it

[@100platinumrealist6]

+badgalriri ...you are so right....lol

[@jooelswagg4898]

+badgalriri It isn't a hard song ... Anyway she did a great job singing it, she sang it with a lot of emotion and singing flawless vocals

[@ShermanGill]

***** you completely misses the point of what i said. this song might not be hard but rihanna sang it beautifully so stop trying to compare her to other artists and let her have her moment

[@ShermanGill]

+ShaneSubanPhoto do I have to repeat myself again. I KNOW THIS SONG IS NOT HARD TO SING! My point is that Rihanna is unique and she sang this song beautifully so stop comparing her to other artists. Why can't we all just enjoy music without making it a competition

[@misslady5645]

1:08 has me crying! that's my dramatic ass when I listen to this song. if he fell on the floor I wouldve died.

[@CekaDStar]

People acting like she can sing all of sudden but I'm #RihannaNavy since Good Girl Gone Bad and I know she CAN sing like that since!! Same with Gaga

[@rashadheyward]

Hi, my name is Careem, and I suffer from severe Rihanna-pulled-through-with-the-vocals-induced alopecia. I discovered moderate follicle loss when I listened to the track off of ANTI... But now, I'm... 😢... I'm sorry... my scalp has been torn to shreds because... ohhh 😢😢😢😢😢... BITCH! Rihanna, you didn't have to snatch all of it! What Imma do now? Hmm? Why you hit every note with perfection, bitch? Damn, Damn, DAMN!!!

[@IMeanIGuessWhatevs]

All the Miracle Drops in the world couldn't prepare me for the snatching I was destined to receive, sis... 😢 I had to be the bigger person and talk myself out of pressing charges. Rih didn't have to do that. ✋✋✋ bless your edges, fam.

[@Anthony-gv5ju]

Exactly

[@andresousa1571]

in 10 years of career so now she sings well? it's a shame for me and she not a good singer she has technically no resonance that's just she felt the music she just cried a little and made some more fasetes is clear that for a singer like rihanna that's a lot

[@rainsrapidly]

i died

[@michael-michellepratt4304]

I'm apart of the Navy so this performance was not a surprise to me at all. However, why are the rest of y'all acting like she's just now able to sing and serve vocals? I'm guessing y'all forget about Cold Case Love, Russian Roulette, Fool In Love, Get It Over With, and Hate That I Love you. Go watch her live performances of Stay and Diamonds on SNL from 2012. Love On The Brain is a difference level but this woman has always been able to truly sing.

[@tonia441]

Exactly!

[@nl7319]

her vocals are usually quite shitty live tho

[@julianaenes4112]

yas!

[@janyska7315]

i just made a post similar to this! idk why everybody acting like this is something new like this is her first good performance.

YASSS XD 🐝

[@heygirl-itsray]

I love how this performance exceeded Zach's expectations. A lot of people love to play Rih like she can't sing live, yes sometimes when she is also dancing her vocals aren't like absolute perfection, but if she wants to stand still and focus on just her vocals then yes she is very capable of singing excellently live and I'm glad that she showcased this on such a big platform. Vocally this is my fav performance by her, I love it. I'd love her to do more performances like this where it's a beautiful ballad, or maybe even a different genre idk, but where she really just showcases her range, tones, voice, and what not. This performance is really so beautiful and one of her best, just the vocals and her emotion, and it didn't even feature anything flashy, visually speaking.

[@Ladiii_]

I died at 1:08 and had to watch rest of the video as a ghost😂💕

[@doyinm]

Me too girl 😂

[@100platinumrealist6]

Lol, I swear I have never rewind a reaction video the way I did this. Your reaction is genuine and you actual watch the video. This is your best reaction video for me... Rihanna could always sing. I think it depends on the song she is singing and the way that she feels about the song, requires different vocals that relates to it.

[@Badgalriri2.0]

That’s obvious shade, Rihanna been knew how to sing like this.

[@janiturner227]

I agree with some persons in the comments. Rihanna has been delivering terrific vocals with most of her past performances where it involves her standing and singing a ballad. 1. Stay at the 2012 Grammys 2. Hate That I Love You 2007 American Music Awards 3. Most of her Diamonds performances 4. Russian Roulette Performances 5. Love the way You lie Part 2 - 2010 American Music Awards

[@penontonize]

Yes..she actually can sing and has a good vocal but she can't control it when she sing a song with dance in it...and people generalized all of her performance and say "she can't sing"

[@88Masonc]

The problem is when she tries to dance and sing. She can sing,she can dance but not together, thats why she's often slated in comparison to beyonce etc who can sound the same as a studio recording

[@muthurajeshr5803]

More x factor performance

[@Kjoyner2013]

+Toni Peterson you right Rihanna sing hella good better than Beyonce but Rihanna can't dance better than Beyonce tho

[@sweetpea06112]

+Jacob Montgomery. beyonce is not a natural dancer. That: girl was stiff as fuck when she was in Destiny child. Latavia was the best and natural dancer. When they came to the island. Latavia was the one who had that natural waistline.Beyonce however was the one who can pick up on the new dances we do. But she had to practice and practice. However she dances hard.Dancing hard does not make you a good dancer Beyonce executes very well. Thats why she needs practice and practice in order to be ready. However Rihanna dances better than beyonce naturally. I bet Rihanna would be able to pick up the dance the two Africans was doing on KZbin naturally. than beyonce. That's why beyonce had to send for the two Africans men to teach them the dance because no one was picking up on the dance not even her famous choreographer.

[@lovelyleo0311]

+sweetpea06112 now you know your talking a bunch of bull 😂😂

[@MuzicSounds]

it's SO annoying that yall actually wanna give her credit for vocals all the sudden... shes had all of this potential and has given amazing vocals before they just arent televised. It's usually always during her tour or other performances. Im glad shes finally getting noticed though... about time.

Now the style of song is different for Rihanna, that's the shit!

[@jvanness90]

More often than not when she stands still and sings she sounds pretty fantastic. I just don't think she has the endurance to sing and dance at the same time. I think she's actually a pretty strong vocalist. She's clearly been working hard on it for the last year or so.

[@richardsalmon2134]

You can tell she's feeling that song and all the emotion going through her. She channeled her inner Stevie Nicks.
