Rihanna looked so confident in London

Rihanna put on a show at the Brixton Academy and boy what a show she put on. It was only eight songs long, to launch her new album but it had everything: a futuristic set included silver mannequins and piled-high TV sets.

Rihanna sang three tracks from her album Rated R, Wait Your Turn, Russian Roulette and the aptly-titled Hard. She then went on to sing Don’t Stop The Music, Take A Bow and Disturbia which were all given menacing electro-rock-R&B makeovers.

Jay-Z himself turned up for Run This Town, and a fantastic version of Umbrella that ended the show in a shower of ticker-tape. Rihanna looked so confident as she owned the stage. She ended by striking a superstar pose against her video screen, which pretty much summed up this performance.
