Rihanna to headline 2023 Superbowl halftime show (definitely)

[straightorbroken]

I'd rather Ri-Ri. The hits and the fashion will just be more.

 

[Tisch]

I just hope she finally does Complicated for Kendall Jenner

 

[octophone]

Hits medley stoned out of her GOURD please.

 

[Jark]

Please RiRi do NOT invite SHITPLAY

I wouldn't mind a PRINCESS OF CHINA moment. one of her most underrated COLLABS.

 

[dUb]

It's not a MAYBE ANYMORE can Ginnel please ament thread title @GNL

 

[OutSynk]

Oh Kendall, Complicated is TERRIBLE (at least from what I remember).

 

[Jark]

that album did not age especially well but Complicated slaps.

 

[dUb]

 

[funky]

I’ve always been VERY hit and miss with RiRi.

Songs like Work and Bitch…Money are just ABYSMAL (sorry but it’s true) and her more commercial stuff with the likes of Calvin Harris and Drake, while not altogether bad, I just find way overrated. However over the years she’s had some absolute gems. She really does have a lovely, emotive voice.

Off the top of my head, my top 10 ish

1. Diamonds
2. Stay
3. Cold Case Love
4. Russian Roulette
5. Rehab
6. Rude Boy
7. Love The Way You Lie
8. love On The Brain
9. Te Amo
10. Umbrella

I’m not really a fan of Disturbia, SOS and all that EDM stuff.

 

[GNL]

It's not a MAYBE ANYMORE can Ginnel please ament thread title @GNL

Maybe.

DREAM SETLIST

01. Wait Your Turn intro ("the wait is ova, the wait is OVA")

Love it all but OMG this bit absolutely has to happen

 

[funky]

Imagine if it rains and she performs Umbrella, she needs to get her durag on and mix it with Purple Rain as a tribute to the greatest SuperBowl gig of all time

 

[lolly]

 

[Apoca]

"The Same Parts" interlude please.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Shut up
And
DRIVE
DRIVE
DRIVE
DRIVE
DRIVE

 

[Dark Carnival]

"The Same Parts" interlude please.

Omg IMAGINE

 

[POP!]

Rihanna pre-Super Bowl:

#115 +32 Rihanna - Lift Me Up
#127 +41 Rihanna - Umbrella (feat. JAY Z)
#135 +18 Rihanna - Needed Me
#139 +27 Rihanna - Love on the Brain
#163 +23 Rihanna - Work (feat. Drake)

I swear to god if she wastes any of the 13 minutes she has to "Lift Me Up"...

inevitable rumblings that an album is coming immediately after the Superbowl perf/this week. But I won't hold my breath. Would be a massive wasted opportunity if not.

 

[Pipo]

oh you can bet your ass she'll open with Lift Me Up, at least 1 minute of it, and move on to the bangerz.

 

[POP!]

If she doesn't do "We Found Love" I'll SCREAM

 

[Pipo]

If she doesn't do "We Found Love" I'll SCREAM

Let's scream together bro

 

[Penelope]

Hope Lift Me Up features but as a SEGUE (of her being lifted up on a hydraulic lifter, en route to performing a banger) (S&M and/or Rude Boy)

 

[straightorbroken]

So in around 11 hours. This has really crept up without me ever thinking about it, so how exciting.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I want California King Bed and Man Down, mixed with all the hot sexy bangers.

 

[Phoenix]

I expect her to open with Please Don’t Stop the Music.

 

[GNL]

It would be iconic if she just didn't do any of her songs and spent fifteen minutes showing off swatches of FENTY make-up with some inclusive brand ambassadors and Johnny Depp.

 

[Jark]

final setlist prediction

Run This Town
Work
Bitch Better Have My Money (interlude)
Diamonds
Umbrella
Wild Thoughts (interlude)
Love on the Brain
We Found Love

I think I'd die if she did Kiss it Better.

 

[dmlaw]

The real question is whether anyone wants to discuss the sport either side of the make-up saleswoman’s set.

Anyone?

I'll be watching, but discuss? IDK

@D5K

I'll be watching the first half at least but am struggling to get excited about it this year; I'm kind of indifferent about who wins.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Can we expect a Jay-Z cameo on Umbrella?

And a Calvin Harris cameo too.

 

[funky]

Diamonds
What's My Name
Only Girl In The World
Run This Town
Umbrella
Work
We Found Love

I hate Work, so swap it out with Rude Boy and I'd be happy with that.

 

[straightorbroken]

Sorry, but this will be hits galore. These set lists I'm seeing are so pedestrian.

I want Only Girl personally, but Umbrella is going to be The Moment. Gosh, imagine if she gets Britney out for it given it was meant for her originally.

 

[Pipo]

She'll definitely do LEAD SINGLES I mean, she doesn't care if you hate Work, that one's a shoe-in as well as Pon De Replay, Umbrella, We Found Love and Diamonds; anything else is just for the FANZ.

I'm not so sure about Don't Stop The Music, Rude Boy or This Is What you Came For besides the latter could be considered fun for Europe for the average NFL fan who'd rather have something more urban and str8t acting like Run This Town or Live Your Life.
