Rihanna rocks in Rio

I can't believe this will remain on the internet for more than 24 hours, so get it while you can - Rihanna's brilliant, provocative performance at the Rock In Rio festival.

Lasting more than an hour, the set contained no new material and revealed nothing about the star's long-gestating R8 album.

Rihanna even acknowledged the long wait, describing FourFiveSeconds as "a new one", before adding sheepishly, "well, new-ish".


Rihanna recently told the NME that her eighth studio album is still "not done," suggesting executive producer Kanye West was partly to blame.

"Kanye definitely wanted to be involved in making the album," she said. "So he did start helping me make it. Now we just have to wait to get back in the studio together. His schedule and mine are totally opposite right now, but I think this month we’ll be back in the studio."

Let's hope she caught a private jet to Ye's house straight after this performance.
