Her love on the brain performance at the billboard awards will always be her best performance! HANDS DOWN

She was so pregnant yet her breath control and emotion and tone are beautiful...what a tribute

[@FallBrandyn48013]

It’s amazing how she’s preggers and still sounding so amazing. I like how she proved she wasn’t lip syncing by adding in new sounds and twisting the song differently. The superbowl obviously had a back track but she was singing along with it for extra support. She’s great.

[@nomjko]

Rihanna s tone is very unique and sounds almost like it’s own instrument. Anywhere you will recognize that voice.

[@tanvikumar8682]

She slayed before. She slays now.

[@thepoplyrics7954]

But let's be honest, the emotions that she put on this performance was exceptional ❤ we felt that.

[@joannesilva86]

That struggle is being pregnant. Having a baby inside you pushing all your intestines up and against your diaphragm and lungs with cause that struggling sound. She is amazing!!!! I love her!!! I can’t listen to this sound without crying!

[@lifenbloom]

100% agree! I love singing, and have done karaoke while 8 months pregnant. It’s….not easy at all 😅 so I commend her for her Super Bowl performance and this! She did an amazing job on both! She slays all day!

God, I missed her so much Its good to see her back, and sounding as gorgeous as ever

[@dangerousdevil7233]

She has the most UNIQUE voice in the industry.... She is killing it ❤️ You better watch love on the brain on the bbmas it is far better from the global citizen ❤️

[@keysbrivera1234]

I like it when u break it down. Has me dissecting the artist I listen too (like I even know what I’m talking abt) I just never thought about the work and techniques that go into singing. It’s cool as hell

[@poetickiller]

Also nice to see all the old main pop girls in their mature eras. Really nice and heartwarming

[@matiasmuttoni9044]

Rihanna is the best thing to have ever come from the Caribbean… I’m so glad she’s representing the islands, especially her home island Barbados, but much love from Cubans! Keep representing us!

[@matiasmuttoni9044]

@ifun hobbies never heard of him 😭 but I have heard of, Gente De zona, Bob Marley, Nicki Minaj, Sean Paul, Natti Natasha, Ricky Martin, Daddy Yankee, Camilla Cabello, Luis Fonsi, and José Feliciano!! They’re all awesome!

[@matiasmuttoni9044]

@ifun hobbies wait nvm, he sound familiar, I’ve just never heard his music. But his name definitely sounds familiar

[@sentosaco]

After years of "silence", she not only picked up where she left, she got even better. Resilient as ever.

[@afra7171]

2 pregnancies definitely matured her voice for the better

[@ShawnDC]

I agree. Her pregnancy makes it harder for her to perform. She sounds amazing though. I want to see her do a second Superbowl performance after she gives birth. She can sing her other hits. She has a lot! Rihanna in her full strength would be an unstoppable force!

[@chronic_payne5669]

She doesn’t need a redo after giving birth. Come on man. You have no idea what it’s like to grow a small human inside you and she still fucking nail it … “Can’t wait to see her singing not pregnant” (🙄)

[@ShawnDC]

@@chronic_payne5669 I don’t mean a redo. She’s so amazing in Superbowl. I watch it daily. 🤣 I mean I wanna see her again singing her other hits and when she has the ability to dance like she did in VMAs again. If anyone deserves 2 Superbowl performances, that would be Rihanna. She has too many hits for just one. 😜

[@idontkknowyou9518]

​@@chronic_payne5669 LOL. She did OK.

[@ladylisaromance8129]

It's hard to talk when pregnant 😂 let alone sing. Beautifully done and she's stunning ❤

[@viviennebadu1819]

I love your commentary... I came across you after doing rewinds of Rhianna at the Oscars. It is so emotional, spiritual, beautiful, it had me very very emotional and tearful. Just AMAZING! I love every moment of her performance. For you to break it down technically shows the talent in this woman! Love her ❤️ Love the song ❤

[@glennkaraka9037]

She sounds good when she sings her slow songs, love how you say gorgeous

Its crazy how pregnancy can change your voice, I remember it made Mariah's voice incredible

[@charomejia-gm4yx]

This song always gives me chills. I feel it in my heart. Not many songs do that to me. 💕 W

[@SonyaPaterson]

Agree really freaking good! And drum beat🥢your review was awesome. No one delivers reviews like you! You really know what your talking about as a voice coach. Plus you so funny! 😂Have a great day. Thanks for reviewing this song.

[@tylerhackner9731]

One of her best performances honestly

[@SonyaPaterson]

Agree definately one of her best performances!

[@truthteller1015]

Hopefully she does more ballads, she knows how to SANG them. Heard she’s doing 2 albums one reggae and the other pop/different genres but I hope she gets into more slow, classic and music that showcases her vocals just like her Anti album. She’s at a place in her career where she could do something more solid especially now that she’s a mom🧡🤣I wouldn’t mind if she does Jazz or Gospel

[@arielledancer656]

She sounds gorgeous here, and so clear. I love this performance 😍

[@circuit_breaker__]

She is awesome 😍😍😍 Love her voice

[@TheNation101]

I believe the crack was intentional that’s one of Rihanna’s signature vocal tricks song reference :diamonds sledgehammer higher lift me up

[@aquapiesworld]

I was gonna say the same thing. She loves that part of her voice. I watched a video with her talking about what she likes about her voice and what she does to create a certain sound.

[@nicoleoyejola5091]

I cried watching this performance i was just emotional

[@rj-hg1kq]

she sounds amaziing, i love her voice so much. not her best performance, but still SO good

[@shridhrithisings09]

shes always been a amzing performer

[@baddiebecca5250]

You NEED to listen to her 2016 billboard live performance of love on the brain!!! She takes it to a whole other level, better than the love on the brain performance you referred in the video! Gives me goosebumps every time 😍😍

[@jaynebean3734]

Have always loved RhiRhi....I think her vocals have been greatly unrated. She is beautiful, talented, and basically is the entire package! Thanks for the reaction

[@Sherymoon0103]

She know how to sing !!! AMAZING ❤️‍🔥

[@junerea3425]

Thoroughly enjoyed this critique! 🎉

[@ZatannaB08]

Just wanted to add in some clarification as I am a fanatic when it comes to Rihanna's performances, tours, shows, all things live, etc. The ending where she appeared "strained" is 100% intentional. I wouldn't even use the word strained or struggling. She's EXTREMELY expressive when she performs her ballads. Those notes were not challenging for her. I could give you 3-5 other performances where she does similar movements and facial expressions.That is all😎

[@tristanparedes]

Yeah that's what I thought- the notes were not high so I didn't think it was a technical struggle. Thanks for the insights!

[@applepie6832]

I saw alot of people commenting on that part and I’m like have you never seen her perform

[@ZatannaB08]

@@applepie6832 yeahhh something I've come to realize after her halftime show and now this, there's like a good chunk of people online who still will ALWAYS have something negative to say towards her as an artist and singer. It doesn't matter what she's doing or how good it is objectively, it's like they have to put her down smh. That's what happens when you're on top I guess.

[@jenjetell]

you are the only one who was sincere when giving his opinion. I have seen several of these videos and I think they do not dare to give a real criticism.

[@muhammimam506]

So awesome to listen rihanna's voice in 2023🔥

[@skinme2340]

She is incredible ❤ love her so much

[@livetoloveandlaughlivefora6800]

Tristan You hit the nail on the head When should we put it those notes I think it was also intentional And I enjoyed it my 1st time on your Channel channel

[@TheRedDivaTv]

In the past, I felt like she was coasting in her songs, like not putting a ton of effort vocally to sound grounded, but this time, I felt she sounded earthy, and in control. There was also a real visceral emotional connection, like the lyrics were being sung to her baby and the baby within her. ❤

[@alicedubois]

Sung to God actually

[@TheRedDivaTv]

@@alicedubois yes definitely 🙏

[@AllTheArtsy]

"not putting effort" is a stylistic choice (like in Work Work Work I guess you might be saying?) not to over enunciate the consonants

[@TheRedDivaTv]

@@AllTheArtsy 💯

[@kbm1978]

She's amazing .. she is the Queen for a reason. A song that can bring you to tears says a lot this is one song I cannot listen to without crying🎗 Rhianna is in her own lane you don't need too compare her .. she is def not lip syncing you can see that she is pregnant to so the sound maybe slightly different but she still rocks this song💝

[@mialia15104]

Ugh I almost forgot about Love on the brain, that song is so perfect, and her performance of it is insane

[@AJay-he7vj]

She ate this up! Haters gonna hate.

[@fullmoon-ena]

love the shirt!

[@c.athompson9280]

The soft palate lift is coming from her Barbados accent believe it or not. A thick Barbados accent has that sound effect. She is sing speaking or speak singing. In Caribbean choirs teachers called it chorale speaking. I don't know if it has that in the states or if it is like a part of theatre singing maybe. Interesting though. I think it's a chorale speak she's doing so you hear her palate lift. Wow.

[@Sakura41812]

She is so good 😭❤️🫶🏾

[@averypeplinski3094]

Hozier just released new music for the first time in years, please do a reaction to that!!! his lyricism and voice are absolutely breathtaking

[@Alex-jd2yx]

Rhi is one of those artists that deserves everything's shes got, shes a massively spiritual person who obviously isnt afraid to be in the spirit of nerves before a live audiance and willing and confident enough to use that spirit to be her cute ditsy self and experiment lol she always tampers with all kinds of musics and considering we all know she smokes a lot 420 she still listens to her soul no matter the outcome, truly unique and legendary as always 😢❤

When your video was recommended, I was ready to fight you based on your face on the frame haha but In fact, after watching, I gotta say I agree with you. It was an amazing performance for someone who is pregnant and has been away from stages for so long. Love Rihanna! My fav vocal performance by her is love on the brain I think in the billboards, where there'a a green background.
