Rihanna Performs With Klaxons At BRIT Awards

When I heard that Rihanna would be performing hit single “Umbrella” backed by the Klaxons at the BRIT Awards, I was pretty darned excited. My live experience with the boys this summer in L.A. wasn’t the greatest, but that was due almost entirely to a trite, exhausting fan base. And since I’d just be watching this performance online, I wasn’t really all too interested in the crowd reaction this time around.

And the gig doesn’t disappoint. Yea so Ms. Fenty’s voice isn’t quite as stellar live as it is recorded. And so what if the audio isn’t the greatest? The pop star does a good job commanding attention, the U.K. chaps give the ever-familiar ditty a Klaxons feel, and the light show – oh the light show – is astounding. Ugh, to have been there to see those lasers in person.

Absolutely can’t wait to see the gal with ‘Ye and Lupe.
