Last night Bajan siren Rihanna performed her No. 1 Billboard smash “What’s My Name” on the Late Show with David Letterman. In a hot Dolce & Gabbana polka dot getup and her new long red hair, she belted out the pop love song. Rihanna’s doing well using her island culture for mainstream success and sounded pretty good. She’s not known for powerful vocals, but she’s no slouch either. Check out the performance and let us know what you think.
Rihanna’s LOUD is in stores now. Have you gotten it yet? Will you?

Rihallah!!!!
I have her first two CDs, but I haven’t decided about this one yet. I might just download a few of the hits on iTunes. But I do love Rihanna, I saw her live when she first came out and she was awesome – and was 100% definitely NOT lip-syncing.
Love the song and I’m loving her new energy! I’m hoping Man Down is her next single!!!
Did Mondo desing her clothes?
That ain’t hair- that’s a weave.
I’m tired of people talking about her “hair”- it’s not it’s a weave. that makes her look like a Caribbean Jessica Rabbit.
