She has a reputation as being a fiercely talented live performer.
So fans at Rihanna's Singapore Grand Prix concert on Sunday were expecting the very best in showmanship.
But according to Radar Online, many were left disappointed by the 25-year-old's efforts, complaining that she was not only lip-synching to her hits, but was also 'high'. see more photos
Rihanna was performing at the Formula 1 event after a colourful few days in Thailand where she was criticised for both posing with an endangered primate and visiting a live sex show.
She was probably hoping her luck would change once she left the country.
However, Twitter comments from concert goers ranged from: 'Pretty sure #Rihanna didn't sing the last two songs at all' and 'So disappointing Rihanna' to 'I think Rihanna is high on something. Alcohol, maybe drugs' and 'Quite, quite underwhelmed by #Rihanna at the Padang'.
It's not the first time she has been accused of lip-synching.
Organisers of Scotland's Tea in the Park Festival last July were forced to defend her after it emerged she relied on a backing track.
Geoff Ellis told the Daily Record newspaper: 'I wouldn't be able to sing like that if I was bouncing up and down and dancing.
'I was side of stage and she looked really pleased with the way things went. When she told the crowd how wonderful they were, she really meant it.'
Yet even if she did lip synch in Singapore on Sunday she still managed to cause a stir with her flamboyant and risque performance.
Rihanna stuck her tongue out Miley Cyrus-style and pushed her derriere out as she rocked the stage.
She also of course emphasised her toned physique with a baggy short dress with splits up the side to show off her thighs.
The Umbrella hitmaker wore fishnet tights to her knees and showed off her usual street style with a pair of white high tops.
And she ensured it was an energetic performance as she writhed around in front of the crowds with a cheeky smile on her face.
