Have your say: Rihanna
The R&B beauty took some time out of the spotlight after she was assaulted by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown following a pre-Grammy Awards party.
She bounced back last month with a brand new album, Rated R, and a newfound confidence and she put it all on display when she hit the stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom for The Release, MySpace Music's urban music concert series.
Backed by a full band and two backing singers, Rihanna commanded attention in her shimmering silver mini-dress as she announced her return with new track Wait Your Turn.
She kept the crowd dancing and singing all the way through her 30-minute set with renditions of her older hits Please Don't Stop The Music, Take A Bow, Disturbia and Umbrella, bounding across the stage and raunchily groping the crotch of a male mannequin.
Rihanna completed her set with Run This Town - without Jay-Z - and TI's Live Your Life, and new songs Hard and Russian Roulette.
