14 DAY TRIAL // With all her success in the charts, Rihanna remains one of the most “controversial” (for lack of a better term) live performer. Her latest gig, at the Time 100 gala, best explains how this came to be.
Each of Rihanna's shows gets people talking about her merits and shortcomings, with both sides bringing to the table strong arguments.
For the time being, the jury is still out on whether she's a solid vocalist or just a pop star trying hard to be taken as one.
For the Time 100 Gala, Rihanna chose to do a slow jam version of her dance track “We Found Love,” and the community reacted immediately.
While some say she was “horrid,” a “pitchy mess,” fans insist that Rihanna is actually a great live performer, one that clearly knows how to carry a tune – it's the listeners who don't know to appreciate her properly.
