The Nassau Coliseum presents… Rihanna in Long Island, NY.
The coliseum was packed on Tuesday night for Rihanna and opening act J. Cole. Rihanna is not only beautiful but captivating to watch. Her voice is powerful and commands attention, which was given to her by the hundreds of screaming fans that filled the Coliseum. There were young and old fans alike, including parents with their children and teens.
She opened with “Only Girl” which got the crowd started. She came out in a bright metallic blue mini dress which was shortly ripped off to reveal a jewel encrusted bikini outfit which looked great on her figure. The stage was an elaborate set up complete with a colorfully painted car, a prop that she used during her second song, “Shut Up and Drive”. Rihanna’s back up dancers also deserve recognition, they are fun to watch and compliment her well with their moves.
At the end of her performance, Kanye West joined her on stage for two songs – “All of the Lights” and “Run This Town”. This duo was a good pair, and fans went wild.
She ended her performance with “Umbrella” an older but extremely popular hit. Overall Rihanna did a great job at keeping the crowd enthralled and their energy high.
