One X user shared the new karaoke performance along with a comparative video of her 2016 show. “Rihanna in 2016, Rihanna in 2024. Consistently sounds horrible and can never ever find the pitch/key.”
We all know Rihanna is not the best singer but she can carry her own with her bomb ass music. But ummm after seeing that video of her singing karaoke last night, maybe she should stick to going on this music break and get those vocals a lesson. I love you Rih but wtf. pic.twitter.com/3J25YVNMKT

Another added, “We all know Rihanna is not the best singer, but she can hold her own with her bomb-a** music. But, umm, after seeing that video of her singing karaoke last night, ddmaybe she should stick to this music break and take some vocal lessons.”
A third wrote, “Rihanna singing in a nightclub. I’m speechless… not them saying ‘yeah,’ she sounds terrible.” Another tweet read, “Shoutout to Rihanna for being relatable and purposely singing like a butchered goat. She’s so fun and down to earth.”
While some defended her by writing, “Karaoke is not supposed to be taken seriously, hun. That’s the whole point.” Another added, “She did this so folks will stop asking her for music.
