Pop diva Rihanna has been tapped to perform at the NFL Pepsi Smash Superbowl Bash. The singer will be joined by Fall Out Boy, Lifehouse, Belanova and Enrique Iglesias. Rihanna, Fallout Boy and Lifehouse will rock the Ford Amphitheater in Tampa, Florida on January 29th, while Belanova and Enrique will take the stage the next day. The two-night event is held to kick off the Super Bowl match on February 1, 2009. Hosted by actor Jerry O’Connell, the first concert will be broadcast live on VH1 at 9 P.M. ET while the second one will be taped to air on Telemundo on January 31, 2009.
Her live singing is :thumbsdown: but I still love ya girl.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
I suppose if Rihanna is doing a pre-Superbowl gig then Bey is angling for the Superbowl halftime concert. lol
Hmmm, Rihanna, has also been invited to perform at one of the inaugural balls. Wonder how Mrs. I am the best thing that has happen to entertainment/I wanna be an icon/I wanna win an Oscar/I wanna be a screen goddess/I wanna be Latina/I wanna sing for you Mr. Obama/overexposed Beyonce Knowles-Carter feels. If you haven’t heard her latest desperate attempt to get invited to the inauguration, she has re-recorded Lee Greenwoods classic and iconic song “I Am Proud To Be An American.” Beyonce has become a serious joke.
I was never a rihanna fan because I think that she gives the most boring performances I have seen in a long time. But I do love the fact that she can sing well as I like her songs. My favorite is Rehab and then Umbrella and then Unfaithful. But I hope she steps up her game because it would be sad to do a boring performance at an event like that.
“I suppose if Rihanna is doing a pre-Superbowl gig then Bey is angling for the Superbowl halftime concert. lol”
That job has been given to Bruce “The Boss” Springsteen. After the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake fiasco, the superbowl committee has been hiring legends and icons from the past to do the halftime shows. It is a real shame because it seems like Janet Jackson’s career has suffered every since that mess. She has went from an A-list celebrity to an F-list celebrity.
Rihanna doesn’t thrill me, she’s just OK. :smile:
I think she could be more EXCITING on stage too @ surabi.
She’s sitting on the top of the world! She should be dancing with joy everytime she’s onstage! I know I’d be. LOL. But congrats to her. Sounds like a pretty cool lineup.
:brownsista:
:lol: @ monie – I was thinking the same thing.
Love me some rih rih but she does need to step up her performance game…wonder if cbrown will perform with her? :roll:
Bey is vacaying in the Carribbean with her hubby and is not thinking about Rihanna or a half-time show.
Kudos to Rihanna, but I never watch the Pepsi Smash concert, so I wonder who is doing the half time performance.
why do people hate on rihanna i think shes better than beyonce and jazmine sullivan is better than both of them put together if u ask me beyonce is played out to me and is trying too hard o become a icon rihanna will be around 4 a long time i just heard shes gonna do the movie the last dragon cant wait i bet she can act better than bee :bowdown:
Congrats Rihanna… I will definitely be watching the Pepsi Smash this year! Love her to pieces!!!!
One day soon I would love to go into a Rihanna posts and not see Beyonce’s name…. this I pray!!!!!!
DrmKpr :iagree: but usually the first person to post has to put beys name in here…oh well i guess thats what happen when you are pretty much on top of the music industry…anyway riri i love rehab but please dont do this song…ive seen you perform it once and i dont EVER wanna see you look that dull on stage AGAIN this is a big event so i need you to tear it up…but her album is coming out next year so maybe she will have her new single by then?
she just seems like she’s so bored when she is onstage “performing”
next…
leave it to a bey hater to say they “bet” rihanna can act better. well i guess we will see won’t we
Anonymous1 :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: what is wrong with you? are you feeling okay today? did beyonce get the best of you again today? its crazy how bad beyonce can affect you to write all of that and to hear the proud to be american song that leaked over the internet (in my opinion she sang it well) i mean people say im crazy for always defending bey but my god! your comments are out of this world! dang the post aint even about bey but people like you make it…
shame she has that affect on people like you oh well i guess she really mean it when she say… “ego so big you must admit, she have every reason to feel like she that ***** , ego so strong, if you aint know. she dont need no beat she can sing it with piano….”
Cool! I’d like to see it, that is the only reason I watch the superbowl………..for halftime!

Rihanna is performing at one of several charity events taking place the day before the inauguration. The event is sponsored by the RIAA.
In your effort to make a joke about Bey, your info about Rihanna wasn’t the complete truth.
@ Liyah
Bruce Springsteen is the half-time entertainment
Good luck rhirhi,i like your signature style,you so hot even if you are just walking down the street,you are still young so can experiment all you want,i am beginning to like your voice its unique….and to beyonce stanz,i didnt know that creoles were proud americans,didnt she create a song about being a proud creole,arent creole proud of being creole more than being american,she is a joke…she must let go of this publicity stunt,Obama is bigger than her,she must let go and stop being silly and go focus on sasha fierce….silly diva and miss i wanna be and do everything,dont be suprized if jayz and her want to run for presidency next time,i wudnt put that past them.
@ Anonymous1
Also, I’m sure Bey is already invited to the actual inauguration…let’s not forget the campaigning she did in various cities along with MJB, Diddy, and Jay.
@lizz (and Anonomyous1)
Several artists have recently recorded songs to commemorate this historic time, so why not Bey? It’s really not that serious as you’re making it. I like cover too, btw
Lord why are so many people so obsessed with Beyonce :lol2:
The post is supposed to be about… what’s her name.
Why are people so quick to come to Beyonce’s defense if someone isn’t praising her? It is a matter of opinion if someone thinks she is great or not great. I mean, why are people so serious with the love/hate thing when it comes to her. I don’t get it. And I definitely don’t get the comparisons between Beyonce and Rihanna. It is like apples and oranges. Both are successful young women. Let’s just be proud of and embrace both sista’s without trying to tear down one just to build up the other.
critisizing beyonce is my new hobby and i enjoy it,you all wanna know why? it makes me laugh to see all the stanz coming out to defend their demi god,its amazing how people are getting so worked up over silly comments….funny how most be stanz dnt like other artist,and people who dnt care about her enjoyz almost every artist,so its a double standard to call non-beyoncez supporters hatters coz you stanz hate everyone esp. rhihana so you are the biggest hater7,she is giving her a run for her money.
@ lizz
So not true. I am fan of many artists including Rihanna and Bey, but I’m also very opinionated, and quick to speak my mind, and question or respond to anything that doesn’t make sense to me. If criticizing someone is your new hobby that you find enjoying, you need a life
Good for Rihanna. I like her and her voice is unique.
People are allowed to have their own opinion about Beyonce Knowles. This woman is so overrated as an artist. She is a fake, phoney, copy cat and song stealer. She uses sex to sell her music and her music is written for 16-year olds. I hope that she is not invited to the inaguaration. This is a classy event and the majority does not want Beyonce there trying to steal Mr. Obama’s spotlight for her own personal gain. Everybody knows what her agenda is. She could care less about Mr. Obama, all she cares about is what performing on that day will do for her career. She is an oportunist and a very selfish person with a huge ego. She is so delusioal and has absoutley no class. I want to be an icon and a legend; ok, you don’t beg for those honors, you earn them. There is nothing iconic about anything she does, she is just a over marketed gimmick. Legend, sorry, she has not opened any doors or laid the fondation for anyone – the doors were already opened by pioneers like Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner, Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. She needs to stop trying so hard and let whatever is going to be just be.
:lol2: ………Beyonce is dominating this Rihanna post!!!!!!! WOW
But the point is why in the world is “Rihanna fans” mentioning Beyonce in the first place in a thread that never mentioned Beyonce. Beyonce is no where near this topic. The third topic is on Beyonce and there is no need to even mention her. It is like, wow.
Alizia, it is one thing to have an opinion on Beyonce. But it is another to bring her up in a post that is not even about her. That’s like me bring Keyshia into this post to for the sole purpose of criticizing Keyshia. Then people wonder why THEIR favorite artists are criticized. Who cares if Beyonce is singing at the inarguration or not? It is not that serious, people.
I know, Katrina. She is in their thoughts no matter what. :lol:
:lol: Exactly, they’re just as obsessed with Beyonce as her fans/stans are. SMH
lizz how old are you? i mean i wouldnt even expect a 16 year old to find that their fun new hobby was to critisize beyonce….sounds like a waste of time…most of the time when people say “you need a hobby” its uaully something productive…not something to vent your dislike or explain how jealous you are of a celebrity….
and along with others…when there is a new beyonce post, more than likely, beyonce fans dont even mention riri because we feel that its not neccessary but for some reason…and im not taking anything away from riri, people seem to want to bash beyonce and i dont know if thats because people feel they imediatly need to beat down beyonce so riri can “appear” to shine or if people really “hate” this girl that much…. in a beyonce post we dont have to mention riri because we know beyonces success and we really are not worried about who is in the “lime light” at any moment….
Rih-Rih You are the strongest working woman in show business, your label,fans, and family should be proud! You are the life in entertainment, work it baby! I hope to work with you one day! Baddd is u, they gonna stay mad. You earned your way to the top, it shows in your spirit, and your performances. You are what it is all about.
