super bowl half-time show review: Robyn Rihanna Fenty NH needs to get some singing lessons, stop plagiarizing Whites, and hire competent songwriters! Better yet, would be for the nfl to hire competent entertainers

I jumped into the game just at the end of the second quarter. Watched the half-time show that featured “Rihanna” alone, and nobody else.

Usually, they have a singer or singers with more cross-cultural appeal but decided this year to go strictly black. I only recognized one song she played, which was, “I Found Love in a Lonely Place,” a song that is a rip-off of the Adam Levine/Maroon 5’s “She Will be Loved.”

I’m not a fan of either artist but have heard the songs on the radio and I do have an ear for music, so I noticed the similarity.

Nothing else Rihanna sang even had an actual melody, it’s just typical black music of today in which there is no melodic structure, just rambling, half-mumbling “songs” heavy on beats and bass. It appears the only way she can write a decent melody, is if she steals it from somebody else.

Her backup dancers, of whom there were a small army prancing around on stage, were dressed up in billowy outfits that made their sexes unrecognizable, though 90% appeared to be black, which I think was some kind of sex-neutral, political statement.

It was the most boring half-time super bowl show I’ve ever seen. Considering how bad many of them have been, that’s saying a lot.
