Video: Rihanna Does “Talk That Talk,” “Cake,” and “Where Have You Been” on SNL

Despite the fact that Ri-Ri pissed off folks at “Saturday Night Live” by missing her final dress rehearsal for the show over the weekend, homegirl still brought the sex and the swag to the stage as the musical performer (Eli Manning was the host) on the popular weekly show. The singer called in sick, but some cast members called bull saying that during the show she looked perfectly fine. In the end, she didn’t sweat when the heat was thrown on her. Instead, she danced in little pants and slapped her crotch while performing a mash up of “Cake” and “Talk That Talk” during her first set of the night. And while she looked great, I’m sorry, but homegirl sounded very shaky. Maybe she was sick after all, and if she wasn’t she might want to stick to that excuse…

But in the second performance of “Where Have You Been,” she showed off some slick choreography and sounded much better. That one we were actually grooving to. But you check out both performances below and let us know what you think. Awesome or awful?

    She didn’t sound any more shaky than Marsha Ambrosius did singing the National Anthem at the Mayweather fight last weekend.

    Shes overrated trash.  I try to like her.  But she cant sing and her voice always shakes.  I love her IDGAF attitude and that works because she is young.  She cant dance but she’s a island girls so you know she cant work her hips but choreography….NOT!  That is all.

  • Lalatarea

    I respect Rih for what she is good at. In all honesty her vocals are NOT what she is famous for so I didn’t think that she did any worse vocally in these 2 performances then she has done in others. Still enjoyed watching her though, she has a way of pulling people in. Got to respect that.

    Love her! And, why are people talking about her performance being less than par knowing she was sick. She’s not Superwoman.

      Sorry, sick or not, RiRi always sounds like a scared, lost goat somewhere out in a field!  People are always making excuses for her when it comes to her lack of singing abilities, I think the last time she performed at an award show they said she had laryngitis!  Well if that was the case she should have taken a seat! But she somehow manages to make it through a performance, I just don’t know how, but she does!

  • mochaaa
