    TIME Magazine reviews Rihanna’s Grammy performances

    TIME Magazine posted a list of “best and worst of the 2011 Grammy Awards”. Rihanna’s performances got the highest mark “A” naming one of the best performances of the night. Here’s what they said:

    Rihanna rarely sings alone. She’s almost always accompanied by another singer, drowned out by synthesizers or Auto-Tuned by an overzealous producer. But tonight, at least briefly, it’s just Rihanna and the microphone. Then Eminem appears and does the unthinkable: he makes the performance even better. When the duo performed “Love the Way You Lie” at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this year, they seemed disjointed and unrehearsed. Here, they’ve have found their element. And Dr. Dre, whose cameo could have been an unnecessary addition, only added to the fire.

    Grade: A

    It’s official: the 2011 Grammys should just be renamed The Rihanna Show. For her second appearance onstage tonight, the pop star ditched the ball gown, shortened her skirt and nailed this duet with Drake. I’m not even sure why Drake was there. Apparently he wan’t either; he wandered off halfway through the song.

    Grade: A-

    i did not like it as much as i thought that i would. i was excited about seeing it when i heard that she would take on her critics and when i saw clips and pictures that were leaked, but the video for me was nothing new. I thought that Melina could have created something more memorable and from what Im hearing more original. Now her commercial for her perfume was the cats meow, she did dat!!! :excited:

    yes cant wait to see it on tv

    Rihanna's 'S&M' Video Recalls Madonna, Perez Hilton Says

    Video was 'made to get attention and make a point,' says blogger, who plays a slave in the clip.

    By Jocelyn Vena

    Rihanna isn't being shy about her feelings for the press in her colorful video for "S&M." Playing on themes of bondage and the celebrity-hungry paparazzi, the clip, directed by Melina Matsoukas, is a romp through Rihanna's opinions about the media world. And, she has a very high-profile celebrity blogger featured in the video as her slave.

    "I was so flattered," Perez Hilton gushed to MTV News. "This will go down for me as one of my highlights."

    The video certainly says something in-between glossy setups and flashy costumes, recalling another pop star's video evolution. "My takeaway from this video was that it was very strategically made to get attention and make a point," he explained. "It reminded me of Madonna during the 'Erotica' phase and the 'Hollywood'/ 'American Life' phase, both of which were controversial."

    However, there's more to the clip than ball-gagged reporters: It shows a bubbly, fun pop star at her shining best. "What I love especially was that you got to see Rihanna in a new light," he explained. "We've never seen Rihanna like this before, plus it wasn't too serious, and that's a great message: You shouldn't let what others say about you affect you. She's being all sorts of crazy in the video and it's like she's saying, 'Be who you are and let your freak flag fly.'

    "I'm really emboldened and inspired by the message of 'S&M' and the movement that seems to be happening. Pop songs can be meaningful songs."

    On set, Perez recalls Rihanna making sure that everything turned out perfectly for the video, co-directing it alongside Matsoukas. "The 'S&M' video is very important for Rihanna. She came up with a lot of the concepts, the shots. She was super hands-on because this was her baby: There were messages she wanted to get out there," he said.

    In the video, Perez is on a leash and tied up with tape — and he said he loved every moment of it. "We had so much fun, but let me tell you, I left the 'S&M' video shoot bruised and battered and banged up. Even with the knee pads, my knees got scuffed," he remembered, laughing. "But it was all worth it. I think the video turned out really amazingly well."

    The video makes one big point about the media landscape, and Perez is certainly someone who has unapologetically criticized the singer's artistic choices.

    "It's no secret that I did not love Rihanna's Rated R album. I did not love that era, but I thought it was really cool of her to still ask me to be in her video anyway," he said. "Just like Britney wanted me in her Circus Tour opening video."
