Bored from start to finish.

Everyone was reporting she might announce a tour very soon after super bowl

She’s preggers from the looks of it - no tour or album 

[aoki.loid]

not me imaging visual album aired after the show 

the lack of new music is making me hallucinate 

[GlitterRain]

Wasn’t my fav halftime but it was amazing seeing her back onstage and I think she did a good job! I wish she had performed PDSTM, Disturbia, SOS and Pon De Replay. Super disappointing! 
 

Loved the stage and how it gave everyone a great view! 
 

You all know what everyone is really commenting about

The beginning of the performance was great with all the lifting up in the air… but the rest was a snooze fest… She was soo lazy (asper usual) and was dancing as if she was in a night club… I was waiting for something to happen but it never did… overall pretty blah… 

[Britneystanley]

it was lazy. The dancing was lazy. She was lazy. The singing was lazy. Miming was obvious at times.

It was all very one dimensional and just one long slog without changing it up in tempo, costume , performance style etc. the performance of each song was exactly the same with the same kind of choreo, the same lighting, the same costume and the same half hearted attempt at performing. I was bored and was ready for it to be over. 
 

she desperately needed a special guest to inject some energy. 
 

Shakira and Jlo were tons better in my opinion - at least they put effort in and looked like they wanted to be there.

I was actually surprised she performed Where Have You Been, I thought I was the only person that remembered that song lol

I LOVED IT!

I kinda felt she was going to be all by herself and that was my favorite part! well I mean with no guests, she was definitely SURROUNDED by dancers haha, they were amazing.

Those floating boards were incredible to see!

Her having almost no costume changes was such a power move... If you all bishes are going to start coming at her throat because she didn't change a bazillion times, remember that Justin Bieber has the AUDACITY to perform in baggy jeans and a beanie hat. I love watching a woman doing her thing without feeling like she "has to do" things to impress others... She is enough!

She looked amazing and she has star power and all the hits, and those dancers did an amazing job backing her up.

Aw thank god, i thought i was watching a completely different show!! i thought she was brilliant

Totally agree with this. Kept waiting for something to happen or for something to change and it never did

Stage: 10/10

Production: 10/10 

Setlist: 8/10 

Performance: 6/10 was she nervous or tired? Something was off… they should have at least have a guest performer to spice things up. 
 

Note: I had goosebumps at the end when she sang “Diamonds” and they did that wide shot of her up in the air. And the dancers were AMAZING!

for me this was an 8/10. Very mid, but did have high points. 

[stunna_bitch]

That was not good at all.

Stage was great. Dancers were the highlight. Rihanna was incredibly underwhelming. And it was definitely a mix of live / pre-recorded vocals.

I noticed the pre recorded vocals immediately.

Couldn’t agree more with this. Well said! She looked amazing!

Wow, no replay value at all, it was bad.
