  • i love this performance! i love her shes just amazing

  • Nuno Bettencourt is the man.! His playing makes her music sound really good

  • oh my god I can't believe she can't sing. Long live auto tune!

  • myte as well say 240p bro

  • That was pretty awesome!! Go Rihanna!

  • she really is out of tune...

  • @sesanalorenzo yes, on the long note of some chorus... but overall she's not bad... i thoght she was worse

  • Eat that Gaga Fans and Rihanna Haters! :P

    Now who have the best vocals? RiRi or GaGa? :P

    RiRi!

  • @kulitz188 riri? I dont like gaga but are you deaf? she can't sing and so out of tune

  • PLEASE COMMENT MY COVER ♥

  • Although her vocals may not be pitch perfect, she sang this song with pure emotion, as she always does. You can see she means what she is singing.

  • George Michael sings this song much much better

  • she hasnt got an ear for her pitch at all.

  • you can easily tell when you're on the other side of the screen but you just can not imagine it so hard to sing this song, I love Rihanna she is my favorite singer! RIHANNANAVY!!!

  • Give her a break.

    This song must be fucking tough to sing and I will ALWAYS prefer an average live performance over a "perfect" auto tuned dance crap.Yeah you know who I mean...

  • who made that dress she is wearing!

  • oh rihanna you are so f*cking amazing

  • Wait did David letterman she was a songwriter?

    can somebody please tell me what songs has she written cause i didnt think she did

  • @karana808 She Co wrote her hwhole album Rated R, and few songs on Music of the Sun and A girl like me

  • nossa a hiana e linda de mais mesmo

  • Enjoy it or Leave it! Why bother being negative? Also I didn't know everyone is music critics or pitch experts, that's funny. She saids fine to me. She has to sing louder than the music. Stop with the negative comments. Youtube should not let people comments videos.

  • Calling her FAKE won't make you REAL!

    Calling her DUMB won't make you SMART!

    Calling her WEAK won't make you STRONG!

    Calling her UGLY won't make you BEAUTIFUL!

    Calling her MEAN won't make you KIND!

    Calling her GAY won't make you STRAIGHT!

    Calling her RUDE won't make you POLITE!

    So why bother?

    She is a true inspiration for people who think they cant follow their dreams!

  • She can't sing she is off key sharp and flat at the same time lol anyways she has a big forehead and i wanted to take a drill and stick it in my ears. I think that would have been better then listening to this Shit. I think that Chris Brown was enraged by her singing that's why he beat her .... don't blame him... However she is pretty

  • @seemeasiam DONT BLAME HIM??? yes thats okey to beat women SURE....

  • shes shit

  • @toad33332 YOu shit when yoz think that. (:

  • @FanMadex3

    um

    thats kool i guess

  • This is not her best performance.

  • In the end of the video she was without her voice..

  • so out of tone :S

  • C-SHARP DA HOTTEST IN DA SOUTH.........COME CHECK IT OUT

  • Shes just not feeling it that day...leave her be.

  • The melody to this song is great, but the words are toxic. Uugh! Can't stand it when artist do this!

  • She has a good voice...but her voice isn't suited for songs like this.

  • @DracoMalfoyIsMyLife I think Rihanna's voice it is suited for gritty songs like this. She doesn;t have a sterotypical pretty voice, her voice is unique, gritty, and very emotional, perfect for this type of song. I couldn't even imagine anyone else singing this, not like this.

  • @ThePharaoho I can't picture anyone else singing this song (or songs like this) either, but I always liked her slower songs better, like Unfaithful. I don't know why. I guess we have our own opinions.

  • @DracoMalfoyIsMyLife I agree with u i love all her songs but her ballads are her best & she sings her ballads better live :)

  • omg and i've been listening to one who is that bad live, without knowing it xD

  • congratulations Rihanna! such a deep voice;) 

  • i love RIRI!!!!

  • i watched this for Nuno.

  • Rater R was her best album, her new one is shit.

  • does she forget the lyrics at 2:56?

  • this chick CANNOT sing without the help of echo, auto tune etc...SUCKS LIVE!. CAN"T SING PERIOD!!!

  • @sexichic06 Are you deaf?

  • @BelgiumKenneth obviously I'm not. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, I think you are, because if you think this performance is star quality then maybe you're caught up a lil.

  • @sexichic06 Can you do better? I don't see you performing at concerts, at music award shows, walking red carpets. Rihanna is a freaking human not EVERYBODY can live up to how their recording voice is EVERY...SINGLE...TIME they perform & FYI she not usin the help of echo shes holding the not making it sound like an echo

  • @IMCUTE0192 i never said i can do better. and i kno she's human! All i'm sayin is some ppl can sing without the help of echo auto tune etc, but she can't. I listen to her music all the time! i rather hear her on record than live. I will never spend my money or waste my time to visit her in concert. MY OPINION is tht she sucks live!!! and btw, in this performance, i no she's not using help other thn the backup music...tht's why it souds BAD!!

  • @sexichic06 I thin kshe sucks live too, flat voice

  • @TheBongo87 thank you!!! someone with sense and a good ear!! Are you a virgo?? lol

  • @sexichic06 No lol. Cancer. I've never actually seen a liver performance of her that made me think 'Wow she can sing' It's always sounds flat and forced a little. This one is pretty bad.

  • @TheBongo87 lol ok yhhh i def agree with you :)

  • @sexichic06 are you deaf ? she does not use auto tune on live performances and she's brilliant live

  • @engel27 :D

    

  • lol theres a reason its called Extreme high quality. Its all about Nuno Bitches

  • she cant sing LIVE its baaaad!!!!!

  • @engel27 The way she lifts her gaze and shakes her head looks exactly like Whitney Houston performed sometimes.

  • EXTREME HIGH QUALITY my ASS!

  • @MrFyzzy You can not say that nuno is not an awesome player tho! extreme are ok, but he is regarded as one of the best players around. He can really shred. He is in the top 10 players, for rock/metal/funk

  • @MrFyzzy High quality then ;) :P

  • @MrFyzzy Hahahhahah :D

  • I know you guys hear that she is basically "singing" no words, but she is mumbling syllables.

  • 2:37 - Whitney Houston Moment? :D

  • 55 people lost to russian roulette

  • then you just stay in your "mad hut"...suits me...living in a house made from cow droppings just doesnt sound sexy to anyone who is civilized...

    your pride of a 'mad hut' shows you know nothing better...so live and die and rot in your ignorance...but dont expect anyone beyond the range of a walking goat to give a damm about it or you.

  • @dyhanendra your just a racist son of a bitch! learn how to spell apparently i live in 'cow droppings' but i can actually spell the word LEAVE? haaaaa! so you and every hater on here can SUCK A LARGE ONE! ;) XO

  • Ewwwwww she looks madd uglyyy, shes sorta hawt now

  • i co-sign with the "she's very good live now" because i noticed how she's upped her vocal power from the "good girl..." album to the "loud" one. she's silenced the haters who were always on that rihanna cant sing shit lol.

  • THIS Slays. IDC. IDC. IDC.

  • She sounds way better live than on her auto-tuned recordings, why does she let them do that to her voice. She's a little off key at times but not badly, and I'll take that any day over fucking auto-tune.

  • fuck sake i thought she was naked.......

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • she is amazing, wonderful, awesome.....woooow I love you rihanna

  • @cocoliso909

    I love her too! I talk about her more than my boyfriend lmao....I adore her, she's amazing

  • Hermosa  cancion!!!!

  • METRIC IS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • she is amazing

    and this is much a hard song to sing live :)

    can't wait to see her on the loud tour in london :D

  • she is so amazinggggggg

    wowww

  • woo....wo..woo..woonderfull!!! :))

  • acclaimed singer songwriter good one david, she hasnt wrote one of her own songs, shes a good singer tho

  • @Rockafellaton Hasnt written any of her songs ? do research befor you comment she wrote some stuff on her first 2 albums and co-wrote 9 of the 13 songs on Rated R

  • sexy but vocals are off key alot

  • @deadlybuzzboi you are right .

    i was asking myself about that.

  • @deadlybuzzboi cause she has NO talent!!

  • @deadlybuzzboi I think it isn't

  • wow..!! i have never seen such amazing tricks online..check them out now and be the winners in the game...!! check them out now at Roulette Secret..!!

  • david is such a perv

  • Great song, great voice, beautiful girl, but I still wonder what kind of animal crapped on her dress. Must have been pretty big whatever it was. Perhaps a camel, or elephant, it's really anyones guess. I'm definitely thinking some type of pachyderm. 

  • She used to be attractive before she went the "Beyonce" mode with thunder thighs. I saw outtakes from her grammy performance and was sorely dissappointed by the way she has packed poundage. When she first hit the scene she had a purrrfect bum. Now, not so much...

  • @sawmonkey I'd like to see what your thighs look like.

  • you can also win the game of roulette with the working tips of roulette in roulette.....log on to Roulette Secret and get them now friends...!!

    fucc a hater.

  • Rihanna Performs на шоу David Letterman on worldmix.ru

  • you r loooking at the future WILLOW SMITH!!!!! :)

  • very SEXY Lady!

  • best song

  • They were on Letterman again 11-16-10, 2 days ago. Wouldn't have recognized Nuno if not for his amps. Dressed all in black & hiding under a black hat. Even his new N4 is black. Seems like a betrayal to the original. Where is it? In a corner of his closet?

  • The face; the hair, the arms; the body! Talking about Nuno, of course. Now 44 and as hot as ever. 3:31-3:41 ... nobody else plays with such heart & soul as the amazing Nuno. Rihanna herself is drop-dead gorgeous; enjoy her music & songs. Smartest move she ever made was to hire Nuno. Glad he took the gig; at least we get a chance to see him on occcasion. Only reason to read 348 comments? To see if others recognized Extreme's brilliant Nuno Bettencourt ... fav guitarist of all time!

  • @BrendaMidnightMoon Really? Nuno Bettenwhatever? The 80s sucked, I know, I was there. And didn't Extreme have that song "More than words"? That stupid fucking song has been stuck in my head for almost 15 years or more now. I really wish you hadn't pointed out his presence because now I have to kill myself, or maybe just ice pick my ears.

  • @badmo318 Sorry the 80's were such a bummer for you. They were great years for me in part because of Nuno's amazing playing with Extreme. "More Than Words" was on their 2nd CD Pornograffitti that came out in '91 .... 20 years ago. If the song's stuck in your head all these years, it must be a song of some substance. If it were a no-nothing number, you wouldn't have remembered it at all. Please don't harm or off yourself because of something I've said. Don't need to lose a Rihanna fan.

  • @BrendaMidnightMoon Actually, I can't believe Nuno Bettencourt is playing this type of crap now. I remember when he used to rock. What the hell happened? And I doubt very seriously if it was Rihanna's decision to hire the band members. In fact, I doubt she even knew who Nuno was or that he was a well-guitarist before anyone ever knew who the hell SHE was!! I've always like Nuno's playing, but this is a HUGE disappointment. Almost like selling out (or worse).

  • @rodentcafeteria You're right, she probably didn't, but obviously somebody within her management did know what a good guitar player he was, and that speaks volumes about how good of a guitar player that Nuno is. I don't fault the guy at all for taking this gig. He has bills to pay too, and I would say that this is a good paying gig. Some of the best rock guitarists were session/tour guitarists for R&B singers (Reb Beach played for Chaka Kahn). This only shows how versatile of a player Nuno is.

  • @rodentcafeteria "When he used to rock?" '09 Extrm Take Us Alive tour 1.5 yr ago not ancient history. Still rocks as well as 20-25 yrs ago.  I have preferences, but no matter wht he plays, its nvr a disappointment. Ur right; she probably has no clue to this day as to his legendary status as guitarist/lyricist/composer. Her loss. Nuno friend/fellow guitarist Tony Bruno hooked them up. On RiRi tour intervw, he sez misses hard r&r. Writing new mat'l w/Gary for Extreme release late '11 or '12.

  • @BrendaMidnightMoon Sorry, but I stopped listening to Extreme when they put out that sweet, tender, sappy love song (which was probably their biggest hit), so I'm definitely in the 20-25 years ago category. I understand Nuno has to eat and pay bills like anybody else, but I'd rather see him in some struggling dogshit rock band than playing behind hip hop's latest flavor of the month. Hopefully he'll get back to his rock roots.

  • @rodentcafeteria Not-so-Happy St. Pat's in my house. Just found out today that Nuno & family moved to Sydney, Australia, from L.A. So depressed. Fear the demise of Extreme ........... So much for his getting back to his rock roots. I'm going to go have a beer or two now. Nice chattin' w/you.

  • @BrendaMidnightMoon Where'd you hear about Nuno moving to Sydney?

  • @whickewhack Nuno's wikipedia page under "personal life." Suze DeMarchi interview from Oct. '09: "My plan is to move him to Sydney and get him used to that. Then I'll drag him over to Perth to be closer to my family." Said she'd "served her time" in LA & that it's no place to raise kids, theirs now 15 & almost 9. Sez LA a crazy town full of Paris Hilton clones. Can't blame them for wanting better for their family, but I'm really bummed. Don't think he'll ever live in the US again.

  • @rodentcafeteria Check out Dramagods. Good Stuff.

  • @clownmanredux Not only Dramagods but as well: Schizophonic, Mourning Widows ("Sick Punk" fantastic!), and Population 1. All Nuno's stuff is good stuff!

  • @BrendaMidnightMoon I am very curious about this Nuno guy now! You are right, he is amazing he plays with his heart.... it sounds so raw! Did he do only this gig for her or did he do the whole tour?

  • @kellykristine23 Toured w/her late '09 thru Feb/Mar '11. Still don't think she knows who's playing for her. Guitar god/hero/shredder of mid '80's to now. Toured w/Extreme '08-'09 CD/Saudades de Rock/Tour Take Us Alive & still tearing it up like no other! Chk out on YT 100's of vids of Nuno w/Extreme, solo project Schizophonic, his bands Mourning Widows/2 CD's, Population 1/ 2 CDs and Dramagods/1 CD. Plus many intervws, clinics & other RiRi vids. Careful, girl. Curious to addicted to obsession.

  • @BrendaMidnightMoon Hell yes

  • dude that lookedl ike the lead singer from bullet for my valentine on guitar! crazy

  • lmaoo look @ the bad rockin out @ 3:04 -3:07

  • the drummer made a mistake, he startet to early and made the guitarist stop hahaha

  • she deserves for what she gots.

    i don't like her as a person cause she seems to be rude and selfish but she's great artist and i respect her work.

  • @aguilerafun you're entitled to your opinion...but your opinion is based on someone you've never personally met...and while we can debate all the he said or she said issues. No one deserves to be assaulted in the way she was that night. Chris Brown never denied his actions, in fact he apologized for because he knew it was wrong. So saying she deserved it, when even her attacker knows it's wrong? It's well...kind of messed up. I just don't agree with the reasons you think she "deserved" it.

  • @valleri07

    jesus christ, i said the diserves for her FAME and SUCCESS! not for being assaulted! what Brown did was absolutely something inadmissible! i don't understand your criticism. i think she diserves for her fame (cause she's a great artist and i respect her music and work) ALTHOUGH i don't like her as a person (cause she seems to be rude and selfish). That's all, relax!

  • what a great song. Rated R is an underrated album.

  • @Alex4u rihanna is over rated pls

  • @NUNewsTV Rihanna over rated? Well maybe in your view, but at least during this era she was honest to her artform. None of the terrible artists today would know art if it fell down and smacked them in the face, the commercialized auto tuned rap pop BS. This was Rihanna's best album and the best album of 2009. She was at her creative peak. This was her most personal work, very artististic. What young artists today put out work like this? Beyonce? No Katie Perry? No Kesha? Hell no! classic album

  • @Alex4u not really that album sold over 6 million lmfaoo that doesnt sound like underration lmfaoo i love rihanna ! ! !

  • @MEssED89 Rated R did not sell 6 million copies.

  • @Alex4u who ever is giving you your info should be shot . . . cuz she deff sold more than 3O million albums world wide so you needa get your shit together Rated R Album Certifications Australia ARIA Platinum Belgium IFPI Gold Canada CRIA Platinum Europe IFPI Platinum France SNEP Gold Germany BVMI Gold Greece IFPI Platinum Ireland IRMA Platinum Norway IFPI Gold Poland ZPAV Gold Russia NFPP Gold Switzerland IFPI Platinum United Kingdom BPI 2× Platinum United States RIAA Platinum
  • @MEssED89 30 million albums? lmao we're talking about Rated R sales. Oh and certifications do not prove anything. they are just shipped copies, not actual sales so sit DOWNE.

  • @Alex4u certifications tell you how many albums have been sold buddy so you need to take a nap !

  • @MEssED89 gurl you failed. certifications are about shippied copies only wake up. RIAA had certified platinum RATED R before it sells 1 million

  • `Close to out of tune by R....and what is Nuno doing there anyway...?

  • AMAZING VOICE!!! I LOVE HER(*_*)

  • she's very good live now :)

  • love nuno's works \w/\w/
