Yesterday, on 14th of March Rihanna performed in Finland, on her scandinavian leg of "Good Girl Gone Bad" World Tour. We were in there and got great bunch of pictures and videos(That we will be posting later). Arena was packed with fans waiting for her to perform. 3 Hours of standing up was soon forgotten when the lights went off and the show started. Curtain falls and Rihanna appears on stage in sexy, provocative black leather outfit. The show started with "Pon De Replay", her first hit that really got people to go crazy. Rihanna performed well and was very confident. She performed "Break it Off" and "Let Me", that were okay too.

After those she performed slow number, "Rehab" that was vocally one of the best in the show. Really outstanding. After that, came one of my favourite performances of the night. "Breakin Dishes" was great! She was bitchy and gorgeous performing the song and vocals were hot! There was songs that were just okay and didnt really leave any impact on me. "Is this Love" and "Kisses Dont Lie" were just okay, nothing special. Then she went for a quick change again and came back with pink feather boa on her to perform "S.O.S (Rescue Me)", her second big hit that was big in Finland too. Performance was cool, but ive seen her performing better shows on her promotional performances. But it was still something that I remember well and totally not bad performance, just was expecting more.

After "S.O.S" was time for another slower part of the show, where she performed "Good girl gone bad", "Hate That I Love You" and "Unfaitful". Those three were great performances! Especially "Unfaithful", where she had huge cheers from the crowd. She performed it well and really showed the range of her vocal skills. It was weird to hear her performing "Hate That I Love You" without Ne-Yo, but it worked like that too. After those three, she performed "Sell Me Candy", that was once again performance that really didnt really outstand anyway so I cant remember it that much.

After a short break, the party started again when she performed "Dont Stop The Music", her current hit in Finland. Stage was filled with Green and bright lights and she was jumping up and down in the stage. It was great performance with lots of energy and it effected the crowd too. Then right after, "Push Up on Me" started and she was hanging in this cage, twisting and turning while the dancers pushed the cage around the stage. I remember it well, it was gorgeous. After a short while, she started rocking up in the stage with "Shut Up and Drive" and came out with black outfit wearing a leather jacket, similar to the one on the video and she looked fabulous. Two of the backup-dancers were waving chequered flags and Ri danced on the chairs like she did in her earlier performances of the song. Very entertaining!

After the main show was over, she dissappeared on the back of the stage and came back soon to do the Reprise of "Question Existing", and she was sitting on this huge sofa, coloured in zebra-print. Then she performed her very last song, that was of course her biggest hit so far, "Umbrella". She wanted to thank the crowd and said that "Umbrella" was also her biggest hit in Finland. Performance started with acousting intro and continued with the main mix of the song. At the end, the dancers danced with Umbrellas and the show was definitely fulfilled. Great way to end the show.

The show in all was great experience and she looked very sexy and gorgeous. Somehow, against what I thought before, Rihannas show was much sexier than for example Pussycat Dolls live show I went to earlier last year. Vocals were much better than I thought, she has given some bad performances before vocally, so she really were better than I thought. The show itself was kinda good!It could have been bit more effective and visually better, but it was still great show, and all about her. Rihanna is a star.
