Rihanna and Chris Brown Live in Melbourne!
06 November 2008
What do you get when you put two of pop music's biggest stars together for a concert tour? Pyro, giant screens, stages suspended from the sky, dancers, DJ's and a few too many tracksuits...that's what!
The beginning of the double header was spectacular, with Chris Brown making his ascent from the ceiling of Rod Laver Arena attached to a harness. The tracksuited star was lapping up the attention. And there was plenty of it (more on that later).
He mightn't have the strongest voice but his dance moves were enthralling, and the stage show was big, bright and loud. Perhaps it's fair enough though, with a show that physically demanding, one would struggle to stay perfectly in tune anyway...
The date of the show fell a few days after Halloween, but this didn't stop a hilarious (in a good way) homage to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' (complete with zombie masks!)
The show carried on with Chris making his way through the crowd and onto an elevated platform. The platform was then hoisted into the sky, and moved around depending on where Chris and his dancers moved. Crazy, crazy times!
The big finale of 'Forever' and 'No Air' had the "ladies" in the crowd absolutely losing their shizel. Similar to that old footage of The Beatles. My ears are still ringing.
Rihanna entered the stage from the ceiling on a podium wearing less clothing than Arnold Schwarzenegger in a gym outfit. 
Opening with a rockin' version of 'Disturbia' she followed it up with multiple costume changes and a string of more hits (Pon de Replay, S.O.S, Shut Up And Drive to name a few).
A thrilling finale of 'Umbrella' saw Rihanna lifted into the sky and "flying" around the arena, before being joined by Chris Brown to duet the track out (putting no end to rumours that they are a couple).
Great production + high energy + two of music's best performers = a pretty exciting night out.
