Rs!! I never understood that.

@@MissOrchid12Wrong. 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.

[@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.

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 ❤

[@statikcitten9]

Still don't understand how she got through this performance without tears. I can't.

[@We_Are_All_Vultures]

Probably because she does that performance every night for a year

[@CraftyCosmopolitan]

She fought them back real hard at “ no matter what I do, I am not good without you, and I can’t get enough “ 🥹

[@ryliee16]

Dissociation? Maybe

[@chulapnta]

Why is nobody talking about her outfit tho

[@tinamarisia123]

Bobby Hill because it’s about the brilliant music and passion and soul.. the outfit is of no consequence..

[@greendayspanicatachemicald4046]

Nothing new Rihanna always dropping fits

[@ladytiger921]

[@rawandastone]

I have so much respect for this performance. She was raw, fearless, sex appeal in flame all while being hurt but yet so tough! ❤️

[@roisliimy6825]

Everything about this performance is incredible. So real. So unique. So her. I love it ❤️

[@millicentcunningham1863]

She's fire every time she sings this song. I think it's one of her faves ever. I hope she wins best pop album at grammys next year.

[@lai6490]

Millicent Cunningham well she sadly didn’t

[@Tunesnthings]

2:30 pure/raw emotion. Almost like a baby crying and yearning for her mother.

[@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.

[@kota975]

you can see how beautiful it was when she’s really pouring her heart and soul into her music. really felt it. 💗

[@laawaer7265]

I do believe this performance is one of Rihanna most iconic moments,for sure.

[@shahadmakeup1800]

And so is she🤭 (rumoured)

[@AleishamonGo]

The PEOPLE need her back. The light simply CAN'T destroy her. I pray she is doing well. She's a truly natural phenomenon.

[@sparkienyc]

Ok , her most emotional and real performance of this song was the billboard awards where she had totally rearranged the song, the tempo and delivered it to millions of viewers and her peers for the very first time . She hung on every note and you hung with her . You felt the pain when she felt the pain b/c she was 100% in her zone. This rendition was more theatrical .. Love you Rhi but that billboard awards performance will be #1 for me forever . You stood in your truth . amen girl

[@millicentcunningham1863]

This song is so Etta James.

[@dupuyloveable]

Yep...you're so right!

[@deanna3223]

I swear every performance she does of this song gets better and better. Idk how she does it. It’s so hypnotizing. This girl knows how to perform.

[@amyleigh9994]

She’s so talented, no matter what new note or spin on the song she tries it always sounds amazing

[@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)

[@natitanata6283]

I can't wait till she gets older, her voice is only gonna get better, like Tina Turner

[@Mrs_Tobias]

Natita Nata yip!!

[@Julie-qb9if]

🙎🏿‍♀️And I oop-

[@bookiewookie111]

Julie spit it out pooh

[@beepdeeboo]

[@ericlvl8]

I always come back to watch this. Soo good!

[@el713]

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

[@itskisstime]

i could listen to that improvised note at 2:38 for hours

[@elainesmith7044]

This is absolutely amazing, being able to sing that song, so emotional after what she went through. Took a lot of courage and emotion to hold it together. So much love and respect for Rihanna ♥️🙏♥️
