The Billboard Music Awards of 2016 shed a lot of insight, one being (in my opinion) the best performance from Rihanna as she performed the track 'Love On The Brain' from the latest album 'Anti'. After waiting to fully have the time to appreciate Rihanna's newest venture, 'Love On The Brain' came as the ultimate pleasant endearment, hearing and watching the song performed live. Once the lights dimmed and 'Love On The Brain' ended up coming out of this Motown rendition/Whitney Houston mighty potent strength. Throughout, never at any moment or second does Rihanna come across as unheard...Rihanna issued a clear statement as the lyrics are crystal and wrecking to the emotional soul. No matter the amount of pain, love is the pinpoint of the turning world. Love can turn us black and blue, however once the brain is overridden, there is no stopping the chemical reaction.
Rihanna never showed any signs of stopping her domination within the R&B charts. However, 'Love On The Brain' is the type of concotion to send this artist straight into the historical records.
With time flying by, Rihanna shows an improvement with her vocal performance, exercising the range she has been meant to take hold of this entire time. If anyone had any dispute about Rihanna as a musician, that Billboard performance and the track alone...shut them up and had them welling up in tears.
This may be the very song to show an entity holding up within Rihanna, showcasing the vunerable nature and hurt side to this strong performer. Let's see where Rihanna takes us.
