On this day 10 years ago at the Billboard Music Awards, Rihanna sang “Love on the Brain” and gave what is often considered her best vocal performance.

      10 years is insane. I just want her follow-up album to be as good as Anti.

    2. im such a fan its not even funny but one day we will have an honest convo about her vocal abilities 😭

    3. Damn she got LOST!!! When vocalists check out completely and immerse themselves in the music, you get pure magic. She really looked like she forgot she was performing until she was done lol.

      Chills. One of the best performance I’ve ever seen from a solo vocalist.

      Yeah, but those lyrics……….

      ….

      If that’s love, count me out.

      I still think about this performance often. It was one of the best performances she’s ever done, easily.

    6. Damn, love on the brain is one of my fave from Anti and somehow I missed this performance entirely. It was fantastic. I also love her MTV VMAs performance. The entire series of performances from her greatest hits was SO freaking good. And Love on the Brain was the main highlight of the medley.

      The fact that this is considered her best vocal performance is 😬😬 lmao. Amazing artist, but I will die on the hill that Rihanna cannot really sing 😭

      For anyone who needs to hear this: The bangs only look cute because it’s HER and there’s a team of stylists.

      You’re probably going to look bad with bangs, on the off chance that you don’t… the upkeep is a bitch and you’ll eventually botch a diy cut or go broke paying a professional to do it (in this economy?!?).
