X Users Criticize Rihanna’s Performance

Another tweet read, "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, maybe she should stick to this music break and take some vocal lessons."
One individual expressed dissatisfaction with her singing, stating, "Rihanna performing in a nightclub. I am at a loss for words… they are claiming ‘yeah,’ but her voice is quite poor." In a sarcastic tone, another user remarked, "Kudos to Rihanna for being relatable and intentionally singing like a distressed goat. She is truly entertaining and approachable."
Some fans defended the singer, with one writing, "Karaoke is not supposed to be taken seriously, hun. That’s the whole point." Another speculated, "She did this so folks will stop asking her for music."
