In their first “anti” concert in Germany Rihanna lolling in sparkling bubble bath, wearing slutty-stylish garments and acts nevertheless as if they would want to bring everything as swiftly as possible. Five questions about the show.
On the first concert in Germany its “anti” world tour kicked pop singer Rihanna on Saturday night in Hamburg – before nearly 30,000 fans. The most important questions:
What does Rihanna there really
On the one hand it plays a concert, on the other hand it shows apparently a movie?. The first is to recognize the fact that a band on stage is that big boxes are suspended and Rihanna holding a microphone in hand. In the course of one and a half hours she sings through 23 Hits – times full playback, time in half playback, times without playback. In between dancing Rihanna also, being this involved in a very special way and at the same time indifferent acts (see question 3). And it also carries great costumes. But that the whole thing is also to act as a film, it means both the conventional movie length of 90 minutes also suggest that at the end on an up and down movable, very impressive, composed of fully chromed cubes giant screen a credits roll. The calls all beteilligten the realization of the “anti” show people. That’s nice for those involved, but not so nice for the 30 000 in the stadium, which actually no longer dare at all to demand an encore – because the end credits already. Rarely has a pop star has beaten into his audience mallet moderate: So now it’s over, you go all nice home
Does Rihanna fun at her concert
.? Hard to say. It is striking that their older Rihanna Hits plays only in short versions of a maximum of one and a half minutes and this can partly lustos run together in medleys. As if to bring it all as quickly as possible behind. In a tamped-hit like “Live Your Life” with his Romanian kindergarten Techno-sample ( “Dragostea din tei”) in 2008 was bad and has since also not aged well, that’s understandable. In “Umbrella” from 2007, it is very unfortunate. Prefer Rihanna would appear to play only the songs from their latest, the end of January released album “anti”. The seems they really like to like, only the so foolishly – with the exception of “Work” – become no correct chart hits. In any event, Rihanna depends only on these new songs – “Needed Me”, “Kiss It Better” – on stage really pure. Panoramic is great live only “Bitch Better Have My Money”: The end of the play unravels in a reduced Dub over which then creates a shrill electric guitar solo, followed by again a few bars empty, hard beats, and then explodes in the end an opulent eighties synth-ink. So you can unscrew his own hits and reassemble again

Does Rihanna well and moves beautifully?
Oh yes! At the beginning of the show, she is wearing a very refined ensemble of ruffled white body and absurdly high cream-colored Alcantara knee boots. The attached via strapsartige mounts the belt over her body, probably so they do not slip off. Between Body and boots peep through a few centimeters thigh. This looks subtly slutty and very stylish from the same time. The Style of Rihanna is already a stunner: She dances actually not, but teeters rather a bit the beat of her own music, as if they would just not be on a big stage, but somewhere in the club, a bit woozy to their own music hips slide forward and himself doing much sit back. Especially great looks that if Rihanna plus with their hands leaves her own body and the central bodies with Fingerschnipsern commented: hip – top! Bellybutton – wow! Breast – 1A! Face -? Yeah
What are the stage tricks
The stage is in all white, even the instruments (keyboards, guitars, drums) are White. Between three large plastic sheet structures are arranged, which inflate to gelatinous swirling giant hemispheres in the course of the show. What should be said therefore, remains unclear. At the beginning of the show the most impressive trick is already fired: Rihanna can heave in a kind of Plexiglas tunnel from the middle of the stadium towards the stage. She looks down from above on the audience, or the audience looks from down through the Plexiglas between the legs. Could be that Rihanna should be a fish here, which is caught in the aquarium, but could also be that the stadium is the aquarium and Rihanna appraised the little fish down there from their plexi vehicle out. Either way: In Plexiglas it is in the nature of things that it is prone to Fingertatscher, and Rihanna Plexi-vehicle looks in the spotlight quite groped and smeared out. Dressing the times someone
Do you have to the “anti” show see live?
No, not really. A DVD would be enough. This was partly because the balance between long shot and close-up on the show is not true. Good Giant Stadium Popshows eighth always that not only the detail shots work well, so the cut-outs that are transmitted live via camera on the screens next to the stage. But also in the long shot always has to happen something interesting. For example, a person who sits at the back of the stadium and can not detect Faces or mimic, at least be able to admire the symmetry of the choreography or the sophisticated terracing stage. In Rihanna’s “Anti” show is not so, because the shot appears to have been completely ignored. Example of this: the sparkling effect in the last third of the show. In the zoom on the screen that phase yields a truly wonderful picture of Rihanna, as she sits in a luxurious, magical sparkling bubble. But in a long shot one sees only the cheapness of the effect, namely, as the rear stage is completely covered with a thin plastic film, then plop on the top sporadically foam tops. When someone had made to the large area over brushes of water damage, and as if then but the neighbor on the floor above upon it again the tray spilled over. During the last song, “Kiss It Better”, this foam pushes then applicable in the stage space in that the drummer is half enclosed thereof. Even if Rihanna an addition would still want to play this so the drums would have been swallowed up.
