February 12, 20232 yr I don't think it's fixed as it is halftime and we don't know how long the 1st half lasts. Maybe around 2am CET?
February 12, 20232 yr I am quite looking forwards to this will be interesting to see if she can match Gaga who, for me, has the best half time performance ever!
February 12, 20232 yr She's apparently releasing a new single tonight with the superbowl performance! :cheer: I hope it's a bop.
February 12, 20232 yr Author I am watching live tonight on ITV1. Can’t wait to watch history unfold tonight!
February 13, 20232 yr She's apparently releasing a new single tonight with the superbowl performance! :cheer: I hope it's a bop. Exciting, if true hopefully it’s a single alongside an album pre-order or announcement.
February 13, 20232 yr any minute now! :cheeseblock: Hoping one of my faves makes the setlist (even though I feel like none of them would :lol:) Also a new album finally would be amazing (tho I'm expecting a new song at most!)
February 13, 20232 yr LMAO there goes that tour rumour... FFS!!!!! But I'm reading that she's killing it and she's performing pretty much ALL the big smashes!
February 13, 20232 yr That new album is never coming!!!! Kanye going to be coining it in with the streams this week.
February 13, 20232 yr the pregnancy reveal :cheeseblock: A pretty great show on the whole <3 any minute now! :cheeseblock: Hoping one of my faves makes the setlist (even though I feel like none of them would :lol:) Also a new album finally would be amazing (tho I'm expecting a new song at most!) So many smashes performed and literally Only Girl & We Found Love are the only songs from my Rihanna top 15 that got performed :cry: (none from my top 5 did, tho at least S&M was in the background at one point!). Late 00s RiRi is my ultimate fave so it was a shame we only got two songs from that era (would've been nice to have even just heard some in the background like S&M/Kiss It Better, justice for Disturbia/SOS!) and Love On The Brain is my fave 'new'-RiRi song so I wish we got that too :cry: Not all of Diamonds/Where Have You Been/the Kanye collabs/Pour It Up all getting performed :cry: (the first one was obvious, the last one in particular was a nasty surprise :lol:) And no new music ofc! See y'all for R9 in 2032 (as a tie-in with Fenty Beauty) But still a queen as always and its great to see her finally perform again! :cheeseblock: I also love that it was fully solo performance too!!
February 13, 20232 yr It was… fine. She fit in A LOT of songs which is great but it all felt very one note - felt much more like a VMAs greatest hits performance than a halftime show.
February 13, 20232 yr :yawn: In all honesty nothing happened…I mean I saw her during Anti tour and my expectations were low to begin with, but I thought with the stage as big as this would be spectacular!!! I loved Umbrella/Diamonds closing but that’s about it!!!
February 13, 20232 yr Wasn’t a massive fan of around half of that setlist. But I’m glad she’s back on stage at least. She looked stunning and the stage and dancers were great. She did sound great too but yeah I just felt conflicted that there was around 4-5 tracks on that set what I don’t really ever return too. I think it kinda missed that big ballad moment though (like Love on the brain finally getting it’s flowers on a big live event) and something from her debut era and a girl like me represented to show her entire career but yeah at least we got a live performance at least. Edited February 13, 20232 yr by JLJ
February 13, 20232 yr Her reps have confirmed that she's pregnant. NEVER GETTING THAT TOUR OR ALBUM I FEAR!!!!
February 13, 20232 yr Decent, 7/10. She did about as well as what my expectation was. The platforms impressed me the most, and then the mix. Her stage presence was pretty good and she had good camera face, but, on the flipside, I'm not sure how much she actually sang, and lack of new music feels like a missed opportunity unless R9 is a planned to be a greatest hits.
