Rihanna - Critics, reviews and comments on her performance

Rihanna has got many commentslike... Peter Coulter of the Antrim Times, commented that "[Rihanna] has an amazing voice which showed during her acoustic set, she just needs to work on her audience engagement during live shows."

At the time of Rihanna debut in 2005, reviewers referred to Rihanna as a "bubblegum queen"
and Rihann's music to "teen pop."

In a review in 2007, Larry Meyler of The Sun stated that she going bad is very good and that Rihanna had shook off any 'teen pop' image as Rihanna rocked the stage.

While performing at the Ottawa Bluesfest in Canada in 2006, Denis Armstrong of Canadian Online Explorer commented on Rihanna's performance saying "her show was a Disney-esque choreographed fantasy of non-stop hip-swivelling, sassy attitude and personal endearments and a string of funky, sugar-free hits."

After revealing a new image while headlining her first tour, Rihanna was likely to be criticize for her tight leather outfit during each show. A review in the The Times compared Rihanna's stage wardrobe styling to that of Janet Jackson. He also described her outfit as "a vision of Ann Summers couture in thigh-high boots and a few scraps of black PVC."

However, The Province commented that "even with the whole haute couture B&D clearly firing on all points, (Rihanna) she's still got a ways to go to become the new Janet Jackson."
