The 2011 NBA All Star game centered their half show around appearances from Rihanna, Drake and Kanye West. Rihanna was given a good 10 minutes to run through some of the bigger hits from her catalogue. Live singing is not this pop starlet’s forte, so there wasn’t much to write home in that regard. In fact, you can argue her vocals had the same tone throughout the entire performance. As a male colleague of mine mentioned, the quality of her set goes way up if you put it on mute. And while my female peers went on and on about the state of Rihanna’s mane, my simple counter was that her legs prevented me from making any further negative comments.
Drake and Kanye were mere supporting acts for this show. Having seen them all live, the NBA would have been better served switching the format and having ‘Ye in the lead spot.

“Live singing is not this pop starlet’s forte”…you can say that again. But as I watch the video you’ve posted I just have one wish. The orchestra in the beginning was amazing, so I wish they could have played the entire performance while just Rhianna was on mute. That woulda made my day. And as for Kanye…as I said last night on twitter “super duper LOL at kanye actually saggin his extra smedium spandex pants the Dominican chicks at the doobie spot be wearing lol”
