Rihanna;Good Girl Gone Bad

Usually I'm not the kind of person to go buy a concert of an artist. I was on my way from the USA on Lufthansa and saw this video in the in-flight entertainment menu - decided to give it a try - was pleasantly surprised. Bought the DVD as soon as I got back home. Would definately recommend this to ANY Rihanna fan! It's just awesome!!!!

I have to admit i've been somewhat of a casual Rihanna fan for a while know, but after watching this Blu-Ray I've become a Rihanna convert. Rihanna starts off with her explosive debut single "Pon De Replay" then she transitions to the fun and danceable "Break It Off" w/ Sean Paul heard in the backround. Then after the energetic "Let Me" and sassy "Breakin Dishes" comes the slow down songs of "Rehab", a cover of Bob Marley's "Is This Love" (which is very well done I must Say) and "Kissed Don't Lie" After a dance interlude of "scratch" comes her first #1 U.S. single "S.O.S" which immediately brings flare back to the show, after that comes a medley of slow songs which includes "Good Girl Gone Bad", "Hate That I Love You","Unfaithful", and goes into the whimsical sensuality of "Sell Me Candy" before transitioning to the party anthem of "Don't Stop The Music" before going on to the more Rock influenced "Push up on Me", and "Shut Up And Drive". Finally the Show takes a more captivating spin when she sings a personal and confessional ballad called "Question Existing" in which she asks the audience in the middle of the song if they ever would think of her as a normal person whose sole career is just to entertain? And the moment the audience and the viewers have been waiting for as she performs her longest running #1 hit "Umbrella" with the Audience who humorously opens up their Umbrellas while she's singing before exiting her show. I have to admit allot of concerts on home video sometimes don't work, but for Good Girl Gone Bad you would get a run for your money as the blu-ray shows striking visuals, sweat, detail of fabulous coustumes, and great digital HD sound. Rihanna Fans BUY NOW!

I have a lot of respect for Rihanna, she has captivate the world with her unique style, performance and vocals. Some hate her voice, I say she is unique, she is Rihanna and for that she gets 5 stars. The Good Girl Gone Bad album is undoubtably her best, my first Rihanna CD I bought and did not regret, the videos left on me a great impression, I mean who can forget the amazing "Umbrella" video with her painted in metalic silver (I wonder if she borrowed the idea from Madonna's "Fever Video"), great dance sequence, her body is hot, amazing. "Shut up and Drive" another great video Rihanna looks hotter than hot, I can go on and on. I am however not impressed with all the other releases of this album "Reloaded" and "Remixed" they are really milking it for what its worth.

Anyway getting back to the subject at hand the "Good Girl Gone Bad" live DVD. I guess I expected too much, I expected to see her dance like she does in her videos but she rarely does, she also seems to have put on a little (and I'm just being nice) weight on the hips, I was looking forward to see the hot bodied Rihanna from the Videos, it was not elaborate enough as I wanted it to be for such a successful album. She does however sing all her hits from this amazing album including a few from her previous album including the massive UK #1 hit "SOS", the sound quality is great as well and the behind the scenes are pretty cool to look at, you see her in a different light, she seems like a really down to earth lady and she will always be gorgeous. The show is okay, I expect much more, but hey get yourself a copy and see for yourself.
