Rihanna

She's not a popular gal here in Oz today. She was an hour and a half late going on stage. Long time fans who were there are not impressed, and are saying she was possibly drunk. There are live interviews with hardcore fans saying she's lost them after last night.

Review from Perth, where she played on the 25th.

And from Adelaide:

She could be the biggest superstar of all time and I would still say this; Being that late to a concert for paying fans is just downright disrespectful.

Hasn't this always been her reputation, though? I rarely see anything positive about her live performances.

I think she just wants to be a popstar making videos & being famous without touring but that's where the money is for someone who doesn't write their own material..
 
if she wants to do that, fine (making videos, being famous). But don't tour, and expect people to put up with ish like that. Concerts here in Australia tend to be more expensive than other parts of the globe and also we don't get as many tours because of the logistical factor re: distance. So that adds another aspect to the fans reaction as well.

Though really, fans anywhere with any artist that does this, have a right to be pissed.
 
Rude girl! Rihanna booed on stage at Adelaide concert after arriving more than an hour and 20 minutes late

She had arrived on stage to perform her many hits, including the track Cheers (Drink To That).

But unfortunately it was mainly boos that Rihanna arrived to, when she took to the stage in Adelaine on Thursday.

According to the Herald Sun, fans waited more than an hour and 20 minutes later for the concert.

Oh I definitely agree. My point was, how could any fan of hers not know that she's always late, high and doesn't really put any effort into her performances? Did they think all of those reports/reviews of her previous shows were lies written by jealous haters? I don't understand why anyone would pay money to see her with her track record.

At least the One Direction boys are in Australia posing with babies and such.

This baby probably saw Rihanna in concert.

mte. A quick google/youtube search would've given people all the info they need. I would've liked to have seen her, I enjoy her music, but knowing her rep I wasn't going to shell out $140 for a lacklustre performance.

Because Rihanna is in the unique position of her fans condoning everything she does. She's consistently late to her shows, barely sings, lurches about the stage drunkenly. I think the Loud tour was the last time she was actually attempting to perform. Since then, thanks to her Twitter antics and her newfound thug-life attitude she can pass off her laziness as "no ****s to give!" and her fans will lap it up because she's so real and authentic and doesn't give a damn. Nevermind that you are blatantly disrespecting your fans and their idol-like worship of you everytime you get on that stage and half-*** it. I honestly could never be a fan of someone to that extent where I excuse shoddy behaviour because of blind adoration. She needs to get off Twitter and stop with the cyberbullying behaviour and ratchetness, pick up a mic and find a vocal and performance coach. If not for the fans, jeez, dont you respect yourself enough to want to get better at your craft? How does she look at videos of her performances and not cringe and feel embarrassed and want to do better??
