Rihanna performs Vogue live at 2008 Fashion Rocks (Full Version, High Quality Available)

[tallcoolone09]

A very good cover of a classic! Two thumbs up Rhianna.

[loveanahi83]

Fantasticoo

[PAULINARUBIOus]

AMAZING PERFORMANCE!

[RafhAraujo]

voice speaking, Rihanna's much better!

[timothyln12]

I kinda prefer this over the Madonna version. I know shes lip synching but it sounds so good!

[andoi01]

Rihanna is AMAZING!!! ^_^

[the09conradz]

i like her costume

[skiluinamso]

Isn't that one of Madonna's old dancers, Kevin? He was one of the dancers on the Blond Ambition Tour. I think it's him, idk! Someone may have already pointed this out, but I didn't feel like checking the previous comments.

[bethnor]

@skiluinamso it is (kevin stea). it's funny how so many commenters here are claiming she lip-synced. he was there and says she didn't (she did have to lip sync the rap). why would he lie?

[hellolivia93]

I bet she was happy to be performing her idol song

[sophienichelle]

@Bluetorez agreed:)

[sophienichelle]

haha lip syncher!!

[RyanKevinTV]

@sophienichelle if she's lip syncing then she done a pretty good fucking job of it.. cause to me THIS IS LIVE! but even if she was lip syncing.. it's not as if she would be the only one in the industry doing it! Madonna herself does it!

[sophienichelle]

@RyanKevinTV your def. she can't sing in tune perfectly. and the performance is live but not the singing. yes a lot of artists do lip synch but this performance would have been a little bit more appreciative if it was sung live and thats to all singers.

[RatedA94]

Muck better than Madonna!

[xXD09DXx]

hahaha the gay guys lol

3:20 lol

[FreaQ9758]

it was a very good performance i like it not better then Madonna but good

My favourite 2:06 - 2:28

[electroxxxd]

lol you can tell when singers where those tiny mics they are lip synching. i still love this video though.

[frivera100]

I LOVE MADONNA..... MADONNA SHE IS THE QUEEN!

then.... is the rest

[PookiePorn]

i was expecting rihanna to absolutely kill this song.

however, i was very wrong.

she did a very wonderful job

not as good as Madonna, but its still pretty damn good

[stylequeen1987]

LOVE rihanna !!!!

[cholt121]

now either she was lip singing or this is her best live performance bcuz at her concerts she be sounding out of tune and struggling to hit notes. but it is 2010 and this is her best performance yet. that is sad

[sinahsta7]

OMFG.....KISS MADONNA GOOD BYE VIVA LA RIHANNA :P

[rien783]

Wow! A great song by madonna, with rihanna's excellent vocals. and the artistic vibrancy of today's times: d visuals, choreo, & d technology. what a treat!

[acowartt08]

I really love this song by madonna and I love Rihanna shedid a Great job with this performance!

[usrfrndly]

Wow. I'm a HUGE Madonna fan, so I wasn't expecting much.

It was pretty ballsy to take on a classic worldwide hit.

And even though I've only begun appreciating Rihanna, I've got to say she hit this one WAAAAY out of the park . And with such effortless ease and confidence. GREAT JOB

[stephencraddock]

love this Vogue -off

[iKidRoc]

Rihanna voice is perfect for POP music..nice performane plus i rather her version than madonna

[chsmgr]

Its the first time i heard this song is correctly performed

[fernando5405]

I hated madonnas version! Rihanna is just the best!

[jgg59]

It's ok . I have seen Madonna  live pretty amazing.

[orgundergreenfi]

It was SO GOOD.

[andrea32ism]

she is so sexy

[salizarrr]

Terible! Please don't attempt a classic unless you can pull it off better than the original (and Rihanna never will be Madonna)

[missVeemack]

@salizarrr Thats because she is better than madonna. madonna is highly overrated.

[rikajale]

boring!!!!!!!!!!!

[lolajessi]

wooooow this is amazing!

i love rihanna, she's simply the best ;D

[karlkanifan]

I never liked this song when Madonna sang it. But i really like Rihanna's version. Just my opinion.

[bittersweetsunrise]

@karlkanifan BLASPHEMY! Douse this heretic with Holy Water!

Why in God's name would you dislike Madonna's vocals for "Vogue"?! She fucking INTRODUCED the song, you twit! It's like saying you "prefer" Titian's painting of "Venus of Urbino" more than the Venus de Milo herself!

Yes, Rihanna's got major style here, and I'll credit her choreographic use of New Vogue dance over Madona's original choreography in the B&W video, but you obviously haven't seen all Madonna's different "Vogue" reworkings.

[karlkanifan]

Calm down!!! This was just my opinion and i have the rights to say that. And i didn't say anything bad about Madonna and i won't do it in future...

And i heard some "Vogue" versions of Madonna, because i like her stuff - normally. But i'm sorry i don't like Madonnas Vogue!

There is no need to be so aggressive!

[trinichica101]

@bittersweetsunrise thank you! finally someone understands

[MUSICAANGEL]

how tall she is?

[brucelee189]

@MUSICAANGEL Tall and Sexy

[Mariabellaloca]

Great job !!! Not everything have to be this days about BEYONCE, I like them both and its not a competition

[lamarjohnson19]

and she looks hot as hell i cant believe chris brown would hit her

[aggiesspeakdatruth]

That is probably why he hit her. Beautiful people can bring about insecurities in people that cause them to do things that they shouldn't or wouldn't ordinarily do. Chris lost his mind, and he probably thought he would get away with it cause of his large fan base. She is so beautiful! He should have been trying to marry her and make a family-not treat her badly and cause her to have insecurities.

[lamarjohnson19]

wow this was her look not that dark stuff she is doing now this whole vogue thing fits her perfectly

[erevaj]

This was a bloody good performance, it's no Madonna performance (full on European gowns or pants suits w. conical bras), it's Rihanna, whilst paying homage to Madge

honestly the first time I heard this song was when Rihanna sung it, she re-introduced this to a new generation IMO

[sflachuck]

*yawn*

Check Madonna Blond Ambition Tour to see how it's supposed to be done.

The only person who should even attempt this is Lady Gaga

[xyzyxotic]

She could have come off way much better..... almost remains me of Britney S....... Sexy vid there :)

[scrp2488]

This girl is the shit. I loved this performance. And, please stop with the BS comparisons. Rihanna can't be touched.

[sjamz27]

cant be touched ...? lol boo she lip synched the whole performance ..its a good performance but someone who cant be touched will

sing live hunny ..

[scrp2488]

WTF are you talking about? There is not one singer that has never, not once, lip syched their way through a perfomance. Mariah, Celine, Bey, Aretha and the list just goes on an on. Please.

[sjamz27]

aha boo please like i said you cannon say "no one can touch rihanna" based on a perofrmance where she was LIP synching .. and whaat? aretha? celine?beyonce? no boo lol ..

the one and only time beyonce lip sung was at the oscars when she did her broadway performance ..

and this is not the first time rihanna has lip syched and will NOT be the last ..

-pce boo .

[scrp2488]

Girl, please. Every single singer I listed have lip synched on more than one occasion. I have been to plenty of beyonce concerts. And, the girl lip synchs. You can argue all you want to but I have seen it with my own eyes to know and am not just talking out of my ass. Just tube the vid of her flipping down the steps. The recording was skill going, which means she wasn't singing live.

RIHANNA CAN'T BE TOUCHED, agree or disagree my opinion will remain the same.

[sjamz27]

AHAHA GIRL!!! BYE!!!! lmao!!

boo beyonce is one of the ONLY SINGERS out there now who DOESNT LIP SYNCH ..

and sweeite when she fell down the staris only the beginging rap was playing ..not the verse or the chorus boo ..

you sound ridiculus ..i just dont know how anyone could ever in a million years say that rihanna cant be touched .

i mean did you see her ama performance ..it was horrible .

& how many grammys has she won

how many number one albums?

&how many succesful tours &movies?

[scrp2488]

You come to somebody else page and throw shade but it is me that sound ridiculous. Girl, STFU. LMAO, Ri own you haters and you are the epitome of a Rihanna hater. You do nothing but talk shit but that doesn't stop you from tubing her name to watch her perform. Obviously, there is something about her that interest you b/c you are here. Rih is taking over, so get on board or get the fuck out the way.

[sjamz27]

BOO! AHAHAHAH. i would never ever ever ever never EVER search a rihanna performance .. sweetie if you MUST kknow i was watching a BEYONCE perfromance fromthis same event ..and then this bitch popped up in related videos .. #checkyafactsboo but you still didnt answer my question .. how many grammies has she won? how many succesful movies? tours? debut number one albums? NADA .. #ok.all.done.here #byboo

[scrp2488]

Just b.c a vid pops up in the related videos section doesn't mean you have to click it. Ppl are so fucking stupid to come to another artist page to bitch. Like I said before, if Ri didn't have any effect on you, you wouldn't be here.

Your ass is stupid and immature and I feel like an idiot sitting here arguing w/someone who is clearly lacking common sense. If you are not a Ri fan, you have no business here. She couldn't be all tht bad if you are here.

[sjamz27]

boo see once AGAIN. you FAIL

to #checkyafacts because did i once say i didnt like her?

see your so stuck on stanning for this ho that your not paying attention..

i never said she was bad sweetie all i said is you are pass wrong

to think she "cannot be touched"

because in order for that 2 happen you would have to be able to sing..

she is a good "artist" because how she was made 2 be one..and shes a good model .but singer&performer ,HA no sweetie .i keep saying byebut your not going..

[scrp2488]

Just pull the trigger already. I don't know when you bitter ass bey fans will realize that no amount of hate/shade you throw at Rihanna will stop her. She is the shit and she has y'all asses shaking in your boots. That's why you feel the need to attack her the way that you do. SHE CAN'T BE TOUCHED. While she is making millions off her already sold out tour in EU, you will still be on yt talking shit. Love her, hate her...you're here watching her. Your ass is right where she wants you.

[HumanitySector]

Beyonce do lip sync sometimes. Don't be so blind

[aggiesspeakdatruth]

Solange doesn't.

[sjamz27]

@HumanitySector lmao. no boo. she simply doesn't.

like she said, she wouln't call herself a singer if she didn't sing her songs live ..

its' pretty simple ..just sing.

[HumanitySector]

@sjamz27

HELL YEAH she does... when she sang for Barbara Strainsand she FORGOT to put her mic to mouth then she realized what she did and quickly pull it up to mouth lmaooo.. and im not talking about audio being out of sync

[sjamz27]

AHAHA booo HUSH! that performance was all her ..and barbara loved every moment as she said in an interview ..

if her mic was off how the FUCK she say i love you at the end bitch??

yeah fuck outta here

[littawalitta]

pre-recorded lip-synched or whatever, it was a GREAT performance.. I luvd!

[withloveanna]

I luv her. She's was good

[ReallyRick]

I recognize some of the dancers from Madonna's Blonde Ambition tour.

[flutubebabe]

to be honest i dont like rihanna but she is not talentless thats why she is on top right now. her voice is annoying but she has good songs and she aint ugly.

[zacatecas570]

Can anyone ID the models, I just see Magalena wearing the Balenciaga outfit, then Sasha wearing the first Prada outfit, then Chanel Iman wearing YSL, Olga Sherer in Alexander McQueen followed by Jessica Stam.

[xWilhelm]

First girl leading the walk seems like Kasia Struss in Balenciaga to me.

[brandozy87]

She's gonna be the Black Madonna. I call it! She has IT

[thejonesism]

she's obviously lip singing but she kills it...

[playbic15]

rihanna again proving how lame and talentless she is

[darksterboy]

i so agree! she should understand that britney is the original pop princess!

[aggiesspeakdatruth]

@darksterboy You should understand that Britney Spears has nothing on Rihanna. You can't even put a white woman in the same category as a black woman. Don't even try! Ever! On top of that if you did not like Rihanna you would have never you tubed her name. Ever. Another victim of serial jealously!

[darksterboy]

don't talk to me nigga

[aggiesspeakdatruth]

Ohhh Im so offended...Yeah Right! Lol!

[sweet568]

what song is rihanna singing?

it's really good

[monroe261989]

I love, love, loved this! In my opinion, it's better than Madonna's original version...only my opinion of course :)

[MrMs8ismail]

GR88888

[anjinha2011]

AMAZING!!!!

[RedGyrl37]

That was fierce!!

[UnofficialMelissaR]

her version is better than the original... nice

[rima110]

one of the best Rihanna's best  performances

[Bermypretty]

wooooooooooooooooooooork BITCH ! i loved it ! omg !

FAB HUNI!

[alesso1973]

me dormi con esta presentacion, la cancion muy beuna pero rihanna se vio sosa y aburrida

[TheRocNation]

This was pre-recorded, but I dont mind, I saw her live and she was perfect, go see her Unfaithful live, she proved she's an amazing singer

[xkyousukex]

I don't care if it's pre-recorded or not. This is a blast, and when she sings live is amazing.

Kyou!.

[cunnypants]

cool performance but totally mimed! you can tell in the speaking part by her inflection...

[bethnor]

really? kevin stea--who was dancing next to her--says otherwise.  why would he lie?

[joshinkc]

You better Vogue Bitch WORK OUT !!!!! Yes Maam

[planetarobin]

loveeeeeeeeee it

[sax14sure]

oh boy this is reall great to see ma girl ri ri looking like a blast in the costume and sounding wonderfull thank for posting man we back home never get to see her perform like this ....got anymore

[bloodsy]

she is using a mic like the ones to use britney... lol

[benzz2006]

I sure wish Fashion Rocks wasn't cancelled this year. We need good music entertainment like this after the lackluster VMAs every year around this time.

[ryleeROCKET]

RIHANNA IS AMAZING, and all of you that are saying its a playback , haha HATERS .

chill, shes just that good, deal with it .

jealous much ? i think so.

it obviously wasnt a playback.

HATERS:D

ilvoeyourihanna<3

[BeeyonceTv]

playback ... i can sing on playback but live like rihanna

[xXRihannaDefenderXx]

It's not playback. You can hear echo at 1:57.

If it was lip-singing the echo shouldn't be there. Educate yourself! :)

[xXRihannaDefenderXx]

I meant 1:37 ....lol

[turnuon79]

that was so good

[kittyfur78]

rihanna was not singing there people that was rerecorded and u can tell

[xXRihannaDefenderXx]

No,you are wrong.

It's not playback.

You can hear echo at 1:37

[XoMarianadaoX]

she has no mic so it was playback :P

[xXRihannaDefenderXx]

She has a mic. Don't be idiot. She has a small mic next to her mouth. I can see that.

[XoMarianadaoX]

that is her earing for ur info and the things on her cheek are something else but no she doesnt have a mic i like rihanna but she used playback cause she has no mic but anyways great performance and ur an idiot :P get ur eyes checked :D

[JRSIllusions]

It is an invisible mic like they use on live productions on broadway.

They are designed to blend in with the costume or make up.

[ftlmatt]

i am a HUGE Madonna fan and this song is my favorite. i thought that nobody except Madonna, should even attempt to sing and perform Vogue.

i was wrong,,Rihanna YOU GO GIRL!!! Strike A POSE!!

the whole thing was elegant and her voice sounded great...all the dancers and performers were amazing..

i know that Madonna and Rihanna are good friends and hope that Madonna enjoyed this version

[RenIchigoku]

@ftlmatt i don't think so, she lipsynched, she'll never top Madonna.

[FuStAkKiOnS]

come rovinare uno dei più bei pezzi della storia americana...???...farla cantare da rihanna;D

[gabii200395]

I'm a biiiiig fan of Rihanna, but she's lipsinging !

[xXRihannaDefenderXx]

No she doesn't!

You can hear echo at 1:37

By the way,check my channel and watch my video called ''Rihanna's abilities''

Shows Rihanna's TALENT which is '''unknown''' nowadays!

[MichaelGrayxd]

chyba ... RUHANNA!!! hahaha xDxDxD BITCH! :P

[sblxi]

[Queeninc]

[geegivesyouwings]

WOW ommg niicee. but, you can tell she's lip singing. BUT IT WAS MAADDD :D

[xXRihannaDefenderXx]

It's not playback you stupid!

You can hear echo at 1:37

Rihanna never does playback!

[geegivesyouwings]

-- who u calling stupid u stupid, obviously the echo is edited LMAOO/ "rihanna defener"

[09876tl]

I LOVE HER

[georgiasfinestgayby]

ME TO!!!

[trini2dbon]

I love rihanna..you people have some damn nerve to sit there and criticize. Let me see yu get up and sing a song, move around for 4 mins and make a perfect preformance. Sheesh give the girl a break.

[trini2dbon]

Everybody arguing over vocal range..

Rihanna is an amazing entertainer she captures the audience.and for lip singing, every damn artist do it..its not okay for them to but its true.Beyonce cannot sing that lady freaking screams...yes her songs are good but she doesnt have a good vocal range at all

The real singers are Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis, Pink, monica, Keyshia Cole, etc

[maruskaist]

You arw an asshold! OMG. Whoever says Beyonce cannot sing is either deaf, on a grugs, gay or freak like you. You know nothing! You are sooo funny. Just dont write here your highly smart comments I cant stand stupid people.

[KingJ5291]

actually the fan base of beyonce is probably outstandingly gay TRUST ME LOL

[kerensafw]

i didnt think she was singin live lol .. its too good for herr lol x

[92228941]

ela tava tudo nesse video ela é demais ...

[jaymld500]

shes freaking lip syncing...since when is that okay...she cant even sing this shitty song live any real singers can sing that song live it aint that hard n shes not even moving around that much...shes just getting by cuz shes really hot but other than that she doesnt have much else going on...if she can sing so can Britney lol...the song, this whole thing is gay anyway

[maruskaist]

Then why r u freaking watching it... ???Go for Harley Davidson, get you Jim Beam and shut up!!!

[CandyTwiinkz]

Jelousy Kills...

[marcioshima]

powerless

[xmzbrownsugax]

good job ri ri

[nnalovevs]

i prefer madonaa!

[Cartmen4165]

No homo but this was the best performance out of the whole Fashion Rock performers, even though this song had every gay guy in NY in it lol

[mdash1348]

cant sing..

what an effin voice...

crap..

rihanna's voice sucks

[arissaton]

hmmm...a lot of people think now rihanna can't sing and sucks??? are you the same 

mdash1348 = EydaSummer

plz get a life instead of hating someone that you are jealous of! if you hate her,why you click on her videos and waste your time on her??? get over yourselfes!

[EydaSummer]

awful voice but shes really cut, shame she cant sing...

[arissaton]

i think you admire her to say that!

[TaviKidd16]

OK? But she sure can sing better than some of those artist you got listed in your favorites for sure! lol

Whether you think she can sing or not...Rihanna is still going to be awesome:)

[EydaSummer]

LOL really now? no joke? she sings better than who from my favorites??

[TaviKidd16]

Well Lets See...Katy Perry (thats my girl though) Pink (Cant listen to a whole album of her ugh, but good records) All Respect to the Legend but Elvis wasnt considered a great vocalist and many more child....

[EydaSummer]

ok i understand katy perry a lot of people think she cant sing, I think she sings beautiful her balads and shes amazingly talented(she wrights all of her songs), Elvis are you serious?? ok I could even understand him aldo I think theyre both1000 times better singers as rihanna, but PINK?? come on Pink is anamazing singer, one of the best out there, amazing vocals...first time ever somebody sad Pink cant sing....

[TaviKidd16]

OK? But You Dont Think Rihanna can sing? Rihanna has sung Ballads and The National Anthem Beautifully!

I Mean Katy is an OK singer, better than some. Admire that she sings live but shes not better than Rihanna.

Pink vocal range is ok, but it doesnt surpass Rihanna. she sings at the same tone all the time.

[EydaSummer]

and just one more thing...

you sad most of artist now have limited vocal range...no joke? beyonce, alicia keys, lady gaga, christina aguilera-all amazing vocals...and yes your right rihanna is not the worst britney is...stil rihanna isnt good at anything...and shes such a bad role model...went ack to a women beating boyfriend...

[TaviKidd16]

Um Lady Gaga does not have amazing vocals! Put her up to Beyonce or Mariah and she will be murdered as well!

Rihanna isnt good at anything? lol well thats ur dead beat opinion! Shes good at Singing, Writing, designing, Modeling, Dancing, hell Tattooing lol plz sit down! and STFU

Bad Role Model? Who said she was a role model? She's a Huge Pop Star! lol She didnt go back to CB what are u talking about? Your going by rumors that are months old! lol LAME

[EydaSummer]

and Rihanna ever if she could sing(what she really cant) she has nooo other talent, she cant dance, she doesnt wright her songs,..shes not doing anything, shesjust selling her body ( and yes I admite shes really cute and has a nice body aldo I dont always like her style)...

[TaviKidd16]

Whatever!!! I Mean Sure her Vocal Range is limited but so is EVERY artist out! Nobody Comes close to Whitney or Mariah. The closest to them is J-Hud! Rihanna can sing, shes not the worst dude!

And Rihanna does Dance?!?! She does ballet! Dont know what kind of dancing you mean? Hip Hop?

And YES she does Write Beuatiful records like "Cry" and "Now I Know" plenty more also!!!

[EydaSummer]

ok whatever so we dont agree, thats ok but to say Rihanna and Pink have the same range shows me that you have no idea about music, Pinks vocals are great no dout...listen to rihannas Disturbia performance at the gramys...pain for peoples ears...but whatever good we dont have all the same taste:)

[octavarium23]

Mariahs boring. So one dimensional. Popularized by the mainstream media.

[alex920510]

wannabe

[parayoma]

she got a good voice and she did a good job ... ;-)

[Tonyboy10]

That Gold OneSuit She Has On Christina Milian Wore That In Her Video us Against The World

[Rihanna411Access]

Are u trying to say Xtina Milian JAcked the look?

lol

Yall love comparing Clothing....

[MisterBrightside1912]

Oh MY GOD! She murdered that song....

[Rihanna411Access]

I KNOW!!! She did a fabulous job! Most ppl wouldnt even be able to do that good of a job! But Rihanna was awesome.

[blasonboy]

ummm, no she did not! that was a lame rendition of the original and that half-vogue the male dancers were doing was awful!

[Rihanna411Access]

Not Really, I Think it was a 2009, 21st century version of the orginal and i actually liked it better. More Up-beat and loose. Makes the orignal seem stiff. but thats just my opinion.

Apparntly it wasnt awful because every critic and so on thought it was very good...

[ch3zzybanana]

I agree. I know I'm practically signing my death certificate by saying this, as I'm certain there are a million fans all too ready to flame a Rihanna-basher out there, but Rihanna is CRAP! You should all listen to her when she first started out, she can't sing!

[dw070]

TYTE

[ynoyuri]

wow nice music

[mmass16]

great performance

[arandomh3r0]

Oh wow, I thought she would have butchered it, but she did a damn good job.

[ReallyRick]

Fucking FABULOUS!

[weezybaby1]

You took the wors outta my mouth. Fucking fabulous lol!

[didoche1234]

she is great

[mau00023]

Admit this Rihanna is hotter than madonna...xD

[Shawnatl]

Rihanna did a great job

[BrianEaZy]

Rihanna did the song justice.. but we all know Madonna is the Queen. And nobody could really compare! But it's good. Tastefully done.

[MauValmont]

couldn't watch more than 30 seconds of it. it's a horrible version, she should not ruin iconic songs like she just did here.

[Painkiller221]

rihanna's a desperate wannabe
