thought that was incredible. She really knows how to work the crowd that girl.

I couldn't put my finger on it at first what was annoying me but it was the way she was dressed, she looked like she just grabbed her big brothers t-shirt on the way on, I was expecting her to look a little more superstar-ish. But actually, I thought it helped her come across as more like the girl next door and she connected so well with the crowd.

I was there last night though and thought Jay-Z was far better, but that might just be because of the atmosphere at the gig as opposed to watching it on my laptop in my front room.

I've not seen one bad tweet about LTWYL on twitter. But obviously we're all going to have different opinions ..

EDIT: I stand corrected, seen one bad tweet now

I was disappointed about how she has the whole expensive and proper looking set and Rihanna just came out wearing a t-shirt...

Yes, it looked a bit weird. She would have suited Jay-Z's set from last night better. Didn't see the point of all the egyptian stuff

I think she is doing brilliantly. Great headliner. Got the crowd going a lot more than most and her back catalogue is really something..

I think that they (the audience) have to have left the site 11.

Did not like her Cockiness or Birthday Cake performance at all, thought she murdered it (in a bad way). Her set got better towards the end, though She smashed We Found Love, Umbrella, Hard, WYT! She has the best back catalogue out of all the female singers today, IDC what you think!!

Is T4 OTB (or this Radio 1 gig) classed as festival?

I thought they were just pop balls.

Nope she didn't. There was only one ballad on the setlist and that was LTWYL (part 2).

Rihanna's performance as a headliner was abysmal compared to last night. She just doesnt command the stage enough.

I agree she was better toward the end but having seen her perform on numerous occasions this was lacking she just seemed knackerd or just not bothered like she would rather be in bed with a mug of tea and re-runs but overall enjoyed it just think she needs a break because she is not on her best form.
