She isn't using autotune here; you can hear her off notes are in pitch with the backing vocal. it sounds like they tried to layer her voice on the chorus to make it sound stronger than it does (as it does in the recording), but it wound up making her off-pitch notes more pronounced. Eh, the song is still great; It's not like we thought she was Christina Aguilera anyway.
people dont be mad at her she wasnt using auto tune its SNL was using auto tune for the other performance nd couldnt change it back for her performance you should watch rihanna performing only girl on xfactor that one is way better
OHH hell no,, she even makes the back up singers sound like poo,, i mean how the hell is she going to forget the lyrics to her own song,, cmon now,, I KNOW THE FKKN LYRICS.!! i think all that dye is going to her head,, THUMBS DOWN.!!
I'm not a Rihanna fan. In fact, I used to hate her. But everything's changed since I started feeling sorry for her for you-know-what and Rated R, which is an excellent album, came out, and now I KINDA like her. However, she CANNOT sing live.
rihanna sing in a octave in the studio that you know you can do live, stop using manipulation to make your voice sound good knowing that you can't sing in that octave live. the mic sounds bad which makes her sound bad. booo!!!!
she clearly was struggling here...i'll give her props b/c it was her first performance, but she should probably get accustomed to singing only girl more often as her cd is dropping soon. What's my name was good, but that isn't an excuse for her to butcher this song and forget a line in the song (im a huge rihanna fan too, so don't call me a hater)
Rihannas Whats My Name performance from last night was way better anyway its still a great song. Give her a break she's still one of our best pop stars at the moment
Hey guys, calm down! Her voice was broken. If she still sang that's because she really needed this promotion for his new album. So, stop your critics plz! ;)
@GirlieShowx33 Well, my "flop" fav's Britney Spears so I don't see your point... More like Madonna>>Britney>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Beyoncé>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Gaga (this is coming from a HUGE Gaga hater)>>>>>>>>>Rihanna>>>>>>Kesha
Wtf is with her voice?! Rihanna's "What's My Name" performance was much better:)! Also I agree with the person who's said "we won't ever see Rihanna KILL LIVE" but then again Rihanna isn't the best vocalist! Luv the song though:)
There isnt one song that a Fan or I as a semi Fan can say Rihanna is gonna KILL Live, The closest shes ever gotten to killing a song live was Te amo & disturbia & even that was a #FAIL
I love RIHANNA!!!!!!! But I can't believe she let me down forgetting the first verse of the song. the last part of the first verse she sang was part of the second verse. But i will give her props cuz it was her first time performing the song "Only Girl"! Luv ya
And this is her first performance for both tracks off Loud, and well sining songs for the first time usually never sounds the greatest for most artists. Besides shes got a whole lot of other things going on in addition to launching Loud
Great song I just wish she sung it without the special effects on the vocals and just use a regular backing tape. She has the strong voice to sing this perfectly live! if you have seen her perform russian roulette and rude boy you can hear similar notes and pitches in only girl, and she sings them great live!!
She messed up on the lyrics and I didnt like how the song sounded. I wold love to hear her do an acoustic version like Beyonce did to Sweet Dreams. Come on Rih-rih #rihannanavy
