PennLive.com: Pop sensation Rihanna made her first appearance at Hersheypark Stadium on Saturday night, and boy, was it a memorable one. Even beforehand, fans seemed to have an inkling of the spectacular performance she would turn in, but it wasn't for the faint of heart. As much known for her eye-popping wardrobe as for her music, she rose from the stage in a black gown illuminated by red LED lights to sing a powerful "Russian Roulette," her band wailing behind her huge voice and dancers swirling around her. For "Hard," she took a dramatic and militaristic stance, the dancers carrying mock guns, the band crushingly heavy. She wound up atop a hot-pink painted tank wearing a helmet bearing Mickey Mouse ears. Her gown had been replaced by a broad-shouldered pale pink bodysuit. A wicked take on "Shut Up and Drive" was set off by break dancers and the stellar guitar work of lead player Nuno Bettencourt of the 1980s metal band Extreme. If anyone was expecting anything lightweight from Rihanna, she was having none of it. |
