Rihanna Mumbles Her Way Through Her Atlanta Concert

One of the problems with the way concerts are today is that all the words and music and everything needed for a show are on the backing tracks. A performer can decide to sing everything or nothing. Most performers say it is because it is the only way they can dance and sing at the same time. Audience members want more and more advanced dancing and production, but then, that means the vocals will lag. Rihanna used to sing all the songs during her shows. That is not the case now. Last night in Atlanta when she did try and sing songs, they sounded like crap or she would mumble through portions when she could not remember the words. The only parts of the show that were good were when she would be quiet and just dance and let her pre-recorded voice run the show. Audience members who were interviewed after the show and who were Tweeting during the show said Rihanna looked wasted and they were shocked she managed to remember the name of what city she was in.
