[VIDEO] Rihanna Brings Out Kanye & Drake For 2011 NBA All-Star Halftime Show

Rihanna performed for Sunday night's NBA All Star halftime show at the Staples Center.  We've got the entire video under the jump in case you missed it.

 

And since she was the Birthday Girl on Sunday, we'll cut her a little slack...

Rihanna kicked off her set with "Umbrella" and a huge red hair puffy ponytail and a barely their shaggy skirt that showed off her seemingly curvier bod.

And that was probably the best thing about this here performance:

 

We try hard not to totally and continuously bash homegirl for her singing and performance inability (and we do praise her for what she's good at--looking good), but seeing that this is now over 5 years into the game and she seems to believe she's the best in the game, shouldn't her performance these days at least be better than when she first started?  Damn. Y'all know how I feel about talent and this industry.

 

Here's the vid.  She did "All Of The Lights" with Kanye and "What's My Name" with Drake. I guess the few dance moves thrown in constitute a performance.  But there's no reason to still sound like you can't even hear the music...when you're singing over the track.  This is just getting ridiculous.

Ish sounded a mess.  Keep your hate mail.  Sue me.

 

BONUS: Here's Melanie Fiona's performance of "Oh Canada" before the game:
