Incendiary gig gets fans divided as to her merits as a live performer

Rihanna has always been more of an entertainer than a singer, in the sense that even her most ardent fans will agree that her vocals are not her strongest suit. This became even more apparent at the Brit Awards 2012 the other day.

The pop star also won a Brit for International Female Solo Artist, but it was her performance that got fans and critics divided.

You can see it in full above.

While the choreography was spectacular and definitely top-notch, it was Rihanna's voice that led to another heated debate online as to her merits as a live performer.

It's commendable that she doesn't lip-sync but, in certain situations, it would probably be best if she did, voices online are saying.

Personally, we hated how her voice sounded at certain points in the song. Then again, she did put on quite a show, she entertained, so perhaps this is asking too much of her.
