From the IORR Editor: This is an example of an intolerant and racist hostile post that I do NOT want to see on IORR. First of all it is in disrespect of the artist Rihanna.

In the case of the Shine a Light movie and the Biggest Bang DVD, about six times each.

she definitely dances in high heels during her own shows, all the female pop stars do. but not that height of platform. even her fans were taken aback when they saw that on the PPV but i'm not discounting any other possibility. to first have an injury, whenever she got it, and then take steroid shots or whatever to "play through it" like they do in the WWE and the NFL etc

1) She said she was hiding a show injury. How exactly the "inflamed joints" relate to this injury is TBD. 2) Its an important point that she does not dance in shoes like those during her own shows. She'll wear shoes like that for photo ops, but not on stage. So she may have well been over-reaching at the PPV.

Watching the show for the first time right now... Very good, very entertaining, even the performers I will never listen to, like for example Kelly Clarkson. She comes out with just three musicians and quite credibly honors both Patty Page and Carole King. Immense talent around these days, whether or not you like their distinctly non-rebel style... Obviously the clear highlight so far
