The Barbadian songstress first delivered “Russian Roulette” before then continuing with Young Jeezy-featuring track “Hard”. In addition to performing, Rihanna also appeared in the show’s digital short along side Andy Samberg. Within this segment of the show international trend setter Rihanna is narrated as having an interest to recruiting Shy Ronnie as a featured guest on her song.

Alicia Keys performed a World Aids Day Special performance in conjunction with the promotion of her up coming album The Element of Freedom at the Nokia Theater in Manhattan on Tuesday night. I am eagerly anticipating the new album and am looking forward to seeing Alicia Keys in London, details of the Element of Freedom tour dates will be posted as and when they appear. If this show is anything to go by expect a showing that is beautiful, intimate and soulful. Many artist struggle to make it on a world stage and New Yorker Alicia Keys is not one of them. Songs in A Minor, Diary of Alicia Keys, As I Am are all extraordinary bodies if work that are timeless. Both singles from the Element of Freedom are nothing less than what is required to make this one of the best modern r’n’b/soul/ blues/jazz fusion albums of late free from auto tune 2009. I am happy that Alicia is really coming into her own and I hope that Alicia has rejects her previous boring persona that the record label/publicists create and is showing us more interesting facets of her being an excellent performance artist, singer, songwriter and interesting personality. The Element if Freedom is released world wide December 15, 2009
