Rihanna - California king bed live at American Idol - California king bed directo Best Performance

[@UniversalAppeal2020]

This is probably one of the most underrated songs from Rihanna. It just hits me. Love it. She sounds really amazing.

[@pamangkin6837]

Years passed and now the brudge part is a viral challenge in Tiktok

[@lililili3599]

No lol 😂 it was one of the top songs 11 years ago

[@Julist1010Aviation]

The LOUD era was really one groundbreaking moment for Rihanna! :D

[@TYMERE.]

Some people say that Rated R was the moment she became Rihanna but I believed this was the era she became "Rihanna" and I knew she wasn't going anywhere.

[@hisdarksecret]

LOUD era was her most commercially successful era, I think? She had 3 #1 hits. Aside from GGGB. Her red hair made it more iconic, to me at least, when I was young Rihanna was more prominent with that red hair.

[@braydenshetrompf8764]

@@hisdarksecret year late, but not on the album but during this era she had love the way u lie which is her biggest hit, she also had cheers drink to that and man down which are both pretty big hits (man downs only big internationally, not in North America outside the Caribbean)

[@braydenshetrompf8764]

@@TYMERE. year late, but Rated R is when she became gangster Rihanna, and personality wise she’s mostly the same person as today, however all her albums her sound evolves, loud her sound evolved, and her looks evolved.

[@roesdienabrahams4747]

Best vocal performance. Most underrated song ever.

[@soneselenator3014]

ONE OF HER BEST SONGS IF NOT THE BEST

[@shadowhunter9835]

I agree. I can't stop listening to it on spotify.

[@acecutler6929]

NOT JUST HER BEST SONG, BUT ARGUABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST SONG THAT EVER WRITTEN.

[@aleksslopanovs]

she s always been a good singer

[@moovoodoo1773]

Alekss Lopanovs No, she's become a better singer over time Haven't you seen her sing Hero? Lol

[@aleksslopanovs]

Nicholas Vincent she was 15 and nervous . and she did well for 3 minutes .

[@jesusduarte2410]

Godriah Slays y’all always Like to bring that up that’s when she was 15 she her parents didint have the money to pay for her singing lessons like a lot of these other artists did cough cough Beyoncé

[@MegaThexmaster]

In this live-version you can hear, how much autotune was in use for the studio production. Even riri doesn't need auto-tune, live she's so much better than studio. Love ya' riri

[@luisfernandoca3794]

In her last 2 albums (Unapologetic and Anti) she's barely used it (only when she wanted to give a different sound - like on Numb)

[@allybraun4842]

MegaThexmaster I listen to all of her music live version so much fuckin better

[@JustLikeAFlower]

They try to drown out her accent her new stuff you hear more of her accent peak through

[@macielfelipemarcos]

her mic has a little pitch correction, you can notice on the first note... it was a great performance tho

[@kingj7272]

You know, they use auto tune in studio to make it perfect to our ears.

[@ashleysheppard204]

The guy on the guitar killed it

[@Jonathan05697]

that solo is the worst solo i've ever seen! watch john frusciante he's killin it!

[@VanessaSilva-pp2xv]

+ThatsMe Leah Nuno Bettencourt- Extreme... He's amazing!

[@antonpersson1537]

It looked to me that it was fake cause the fingers and the strumming weren't synced with the audio?

[@aacc282]

joni0 you are an ignoramus for comparing John Frusciante to Nuno Bettencourt. I hope by now you realize that Nuno's skill & creativity is in a different league over Frusciante.

[@JonathanLalrempuia]

Ashley Sheppard of course! It’s the Nuno Bettencourt ❤️ but I like his solo on the same song when they were singing Brazil better

[@mamba8_24]

Probably Rihanna’s best song. So much emotion gets me every time. Can’t wait to see her kill it at the Super Bowl!

[@ayoubnavy4324]

3:00 omgggggggg she is wonderful

[@josephnduwimana6918]

who's watching in 2017

[@amazinganimations2375]

????

[@daddywalker6133]

Angela DUARTE u didn’t hear Rihanna voice as she sang the word apart with emotion in her voice I think she was referring to that that was magic

[@businesstobusinessfriperie2482]

No she is ugly at 3:00

[@pittstaffio]

@@josephnduwimana6918 who's watching in 2023?

[@CasShares]

I love the tone of her voice

[@ThroughDavonsWorld]

Who else misses the old Rihanna or the older music in general 😔

[@ihavenoname5940]

Kinda😭

[@diami2227]

Me 😥😥

[@jhey2325]

Back then when pure sales era. That's why most of the artist debuted in 2007 and 2008 earned multi millions plus they make real music.

[@hanksung]

I miss the music from 2009-2016 so much, even though I didn't start to listen to English songs until February 2016, the very first music video that I watched called Payphone, when I was watching that, I knew that it totally changed my life, and I've never known that I love music so much until I started to listen to English songs (Chinese songs just so boring, every songs sound the same, everyone is ballad hole, is really boring for me, so I thought that music just nothing but like that, but until I started to listen to English songs, then I discovered that it's not like that at all, there's different kinds of music, and I love pop/dance music the most, and things with pop, like EDM Pop, Pop Rock, Country Pop)

[@stevenmorris2234]

Me 😞😫 In my controversial opinion this is her last best album. Ya Talk That Talk is ok. But I really don’t like her Unapologetic and Anti albums. I really can’t stand how it’s produced. I love this song and Loud is one of my absolute favourites of her being bad girl. Best trilogy of bad girl albums. Good Girl Gone Bad Rated R Loud. 2010 was the last good year to me and the whole Loud album was also recorded in 2010.

[@mollly333]

I am actually shocked that she sounded this good live! Good job Rihanna.

[@agirl2213]

she sings seriously when she wants. I think she's taken herself more serious these past 2 years cause he quality is way better than before. I'm die hard RiRi fan

[@scarletbrodway7774]

To me shes even better i Loud Tour. The voice speaks to me.

[@mrandmrschamberlain8839]

+Amar Bernier that's exactly what I've realized, she sings seriously when she wants.

[@aleksslopanovs]

her best tour

[@Kinglopez117]

There were times when her singing wasn't as flawless as her other performances. You can tell she's out of tune or her voice suddenly cracks on the high note, but so as all singers right? But I think rihanna is great in general. and her voice. and her emotion.

[@pedro6720]

One of her best performances EVER. The look is of her best too

[@jacobpatrickpoulsen6608]

I love the LOUD era as it was very special for Rihanna and it´s (in my opinion) her most iconic album and era to date. The red hair that she had for the most of the era and also how strong her vocals were during this time. Her voice was fully developed and she sounded so confident during this era and that also shines through in this performance. :)

[@darekdylo8993]

Jacob Patrick Poulsen that started with rated r

[@Zahra-lc3mj]

This is her best performance in my opinion along with Stay on SNL

[@boae751]

Even better than the studio version

[@nimrakhan6902]

Why is everyone so shocked that Rihanna can sing, like sis we been knew 🙄😒

[@blakedanielle2000]

true

[@six.elev3stn738]

I'm not a fan but... of course she can sing. Who says otherwise?

[@camila-qe6yv]

i've always loved the color of her voice so honey-like and very pleasant

[@kevinloughran4387]

One of the best

[@honeybee8839]

[@ihavenoname5940]

I literally don’t know one person who sounds like her! She has such a beautiful unique voice and personality I love her😍❤️❤️❤️

[@elvisehimen7977]

Her voice conveys emotions, I can feel the soul in her voice.

[@arria1276]

her voice in the beginning made me feel that it was one of the best rihanna moments ever 💜💜

[@johnosam4681]

I I could not think of any artist that could sing this song better than her that will give off the same feeling

[@nickoangeloantin1701]

Best Rihanna era, she's really playing the game.

[@colley8014]

And they say she can't sing. I'm sick of it. Love you Rih.

[@iambluethistle2857]

And she can't. She's out of breath just in one song! Not a full show.

[@amanda7681]

What a performance! I almost forgot that she had background dancers. She shone and really took the stage! Vocals on point.

[@vleemillares3066]

[@darekdylo8993]

She’s still my favorite all these years and this song still on point. No other cover can do better that her. ❤ love u riri cant wait to see u perform at Superbowl!🎉

[@rizkyantoni3948]

This will go down as one of 2010's top song, 50 years from now.

[@natanrodrigues2332]

One of the my favorite her performance. Love Rihanna forever.

[@raditriantama]

VOICE POWER!

[@natanrodrigues2332]

One of the my favourite Rihanna's performances.

[@buteravalente9332]

The best performance of this lovely song by Riri. Oh!and whose that guitarist damn he is good

[@pittstaffio]

Nuno Bettencourt! His band, Extreme, is releasing their new album soon!!!!!!

[@757drelc]

Why is this not at a million yet!?

[@krissy9128]

Everyone is shocked Rih could sing?! She's definitely a good singer vs an exceptional vocalist (Trust there's a difference between singer & vocalist). She has good pitch, control and a unique tone. She started out with a shaky and inconsistent voice early in her career but she always had a voice.

[@angelicacyriladivoso]

I cannot stop myself from listening to this song.

Rihanna and Gaga have both good ballads that shows their true singing skill. Their unknown ballads are what I usually look for back then when I used to follow their new albums.

Lyrics Chest to chest Nose to nose Palm to palm We were always just that close Wrist to wrist Toe to toe Lips that felt just like the inside of a rose So how come when I reach out my fingers It feels like more than distance between us In this California king bed We're 10, 000 miles apart I've been California wishing on these stars For your heart for me My California king Eye to eye Cheek to cheek Side by side You were sleeping next to me Arm in arm Dusk to dawn With the curtains drawn And a little last night on these sheets So how come when I reach out my fingers It seems like more than distance between us In this California king bed We're 10, 000 miles apart I've been California wishing on these stars For your heart for me My California king Just when I felt like giving up on us You turned around and gave me one last touch That made everything feel better And even then my eyes got wetter So confused wanna ask you if you love me But I don't wanna seem so weak Maybe I've been California dreaming, eh, eh, eh In this California king bed We're 10, 000 miles apart I've been California wishing on these stars For your heart for me My California king My California king In this California king bed We're 10, 000 miles apart I've been California wishing on these stars For your heart for me My California king
