Here's the review:
Then it was time for Rihanna. Just as quickly it was time to leave. The Barbados native was her usual intimidatingly beautiful self in a sparkling silver dress and some equally flashy hoop earrings. She and a four-piece band and pair of backup singers fumbled their way through “Disturbia” — it sure seemed like there was a lot of lip-synching and a recorded track. Then there was a five-minute break. Then, an equally awkward version of “Rehab” and half a cover of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes.” Then another stage exit. And no return. “We are experiencing power problems and are unable to continue. Rihanna would like to apologize.” What’s stopping her?

Fifteen minutes later , some crew members started breaking down the equipment on stage, the DJ fired up some tunes from when people still actually bought albums, and I left.
