Bruno Mars and Keri Hilson may have warmed the crowd up for yesterday’s NBA All-Star Game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, but it was Rihanna’s eye-popping halftime show that completely rocked the basketball-loving crowd. And, lucky for the audience, Grammy winner RiRi had two special pals on board to give her some assistance on stage. Watch below!
The crimson-haired Barbadian songstress, who also nabbed a BRIT Award last week, kicked her set off with an orchestral version of her 2007 smash “Umbrella,” then changed the mood completely by tossing her jacket to the side and strutting around while belting out “Only Girl (In The World)” and “Rude Boy.”
Rihanna then launched into “What’s My Name,” and that’s when Drake surprised the crowd by stepping up from below the stage to add his rap to the chart-topping jam.
But the real surprise came when Kanye West walked onto the stage to spit out his latest single “All Of The Lights,” a mere day after the song’s music video premiered.
What do you think—was Rihanna’s performance a slam dunk?
pretty good! amazing!!
it was not her best vocally but she sang live and well she’s been battling bronchitis since grammys and this is the 3rd big performance in a week! Grammys, Brits and now NBA Half-Time
She did amazing! and looked amazing!!
and she danced!! i think this would satisfy all her fans that want to see her dancing and haters as well
i was pleased and i liked it more than the grammys and the brits it looked more natural

Kept wondering, what must her mother think? Real artistry doesn’t require all that nasty dancing. Your young female fans are watching … and following. if you’re not part of solution, you’re part of the problem. Please clean up your act.
Not sure if this was the best half time show but it was entertaining to say the least. Rihanna was also celebrating her 23rd b-day so congrats to her. The chemistry with her and Drake is cute and Kanye’s extremely fitted pants were hilarious, http://www.cottenkandi.com/2011/02/21/rihanna-kanye-drake-perform-half-time-show-during-all-star-games/
She doesn’t need to be a role model. It’s the 21st century and she is young. Get over it and watch something else if this bothers you.
I actually loved it. It was fun and flirty. Sure a few notes got away from her and some of her moves were a little “naughty” but overall she did a solid job. She actually seemed to enjoy what she was doing so that is why I think it was a crowd pleaser.
I think it was so entertaining, and if you pay attention to her past work, Rihannas songs are not, and have not really been that appropriate for young people in such a long time…since Good Girl Gone Bad…sorry but if parent are concerned it is their job to be role models…not everyone else…that’s not her job…her job is to entertain…and she entertained.
Haha Rihanna is really funny on this picture :D
This isn`t her style at all :D
LoL
She is so beautiful, even picture is bad :)
