Rihanna's AMA Performance: White Bondage & An Album Tattoo (PHOTOS)

Rihanna plugged her upcoming "Rated R" album with a (fake) tattoo of the album title down her throat at the American Music Awards Sunday night.

She came out a gurney and performed a combo of "Wait Your Turn" and "Hard," both from the new album wearing a white bondage jumpsuit made of strips, skin, and a collar of bullets.

I just wish she could sing

Can you tone it down R? She use to carry herself way better, now she's become too westernized.

Did Chris Brown give her that diamond ring she's wearing on her left ring finger?

Rihanna's performance was great. I loved the Trini flavor in it, her outfit and stage show. She has come a long way. Great job!!

[lilnyc]

Great performance! Yaay, Ri-Ri?

I'm sorry, but Rhianna is weak as an entertainer, I don't know how she has lasted this long in the music industry. Wait, yes I can, the kids today don't know what real music is. That's why Jennifer Lopez still has a chance of going platinum.

I don't care how 'old' Janet Jackson is, she can still kill it as a performer.

First of all, I object to the Frankenstein references in regards to the shape of this woman's head. She can't help it. Besides, the creation video before and the "Sexy Elsa Lanchester" outfit may be tainting our objectivity just a little.

I will give props to Rihanna for actually singing her piece, though it is sad that I have to.

Perhaps the worst performance of the night and arguably the worst performer in music today.

Does anyonemake music anymore?

Looks more like Leeloo in The Fifth Element.

I was thinkin the same ting.

[morganjames]

I'm sorry Rihanna has the weirdest looking head since Herman Munster.

[ECB]

She does have that Frankenstein Head thing going.

[SuesW]

I didn't know that was a bondage outfit. Learn something new everyday. Her singing always sounds nasally to me and I don't really get the hype.

[RobinJoJo]

she's attractive and has good production - but she CANNOT SING. I'm soooooooo tired of seeing mediocrity rewarded.

[Mercedes1981]

So true!
