But sadly, we didn’t get the ‘Birthday Cake’ duet with Chris Brown we were hoping for! Watch Rihanna’s ‘SNL’ performance & give us your review.
The Saturday Night Live stage has played host to the biggest names in music, but no one has ever put on a show as hot as Rihanna‘s May 5 performance of “Where Have You Been.” The incredibly elaborate production found RiRi baring her sexy stomach, surrounded by royally sexy back-up dancers, and looking even better than she sounded. We knew Rihanna could break it down, but she gave Shakira a run for her hip-shaking money last night!
Of course, that was just one of Rihanna’s performances. She took to the stage earlier in the night for “Talk That Talk,” after teasing viewers with a taste of “Birthday Cake.”
Rihanna’s show-stopping rendition of “Where Have You Been” is sure to leave people talking, but we can’t help but think how much more epic it would have been if she shared the stage with Chris Brown.
What do YOU think? Watch Rihanna’s performance and vote below:

Are you people DEAF! She was pitchy, off key most of the songs and even within these performances as well as many others i STILL haven’t heard her sing a song even close to as well as Beyonce or Lady Gaga live.Or even as well as her album cuts with all of that editing and auto tuning. Hate to say it she was better off lip syncing LOL. Fcuk outta here you guys are all brain washed.

Rihanna was excellent! Loved the outfits, she looked more gorgeous and sexy than ever, especially in the WHYB performance. She nailed the choreography and exhibited strong clean vocals. Ri really knows how to perform and her shows are so mesmerizing snd visually appealing. And to those complaining, of course it was raunchy! Hello it’s Rihanna, what were you expecting? You should know her nature of performance by now!! And Birthday Cake is an explicit song so it calls for a raunchy performance. If you don’t like her, don’t watch her. It’s quite simple. The fans enjoy it obviously so that’s all that matters. She’s an adult, so it’s totally appropriate of her to behave in a sexy manner.

I’m trying to figure out why this is concidered the “sexiest SNL performance ever”. All-in-all it seemed rather tame, expecially cosidering the music videos that’s been made over the past 20 years.
On a personal note I’m not a fan of this style of music, I’m more into heavy metal, but I didn’t see anything to get upset over.

Ya know, I’m a 41 yo man and I have a 19 yo neice and that performance was disgusting. I am a huge fan of music and have been listening and “hearing” since the 70′s, all genre’s! I’ve been watching the so called invisible ethics “filter” disintegrate on TV rapidly since the birth of the internet, coincidence?! I don’t know, but there was once a day not too long ago in 1980′s when Married With Children was racy and vulager. Last night’s performance of Rihanna made me feel uncomfortable. I just went with it though because like most of America, we’ve all been brainwashed to just accept this crap. I thought to myself, why does she keep touching her privates and then the words of the song along with that, basically a rated ‘X’ performance on national TV! Terrible performance too, even without the obscene gestures. And I used to think she was pretty talented, but after hearing her sing live and hearing that repetitive snarl in her voice, it’s tragic. all the lil wayne fans, rihanna fans, pitbull and all this other so called music in today’s era, is notrotious in comparison to music of yesterday. Unless you really know what good music is and know how to dig in the underground and find those gems of good tunes in today’s music, you’ll never hear anything good on the radio!!!
