Rihanna Sets Concert On Fire -- Literally! (Video)

By Kelly Fisher Posted Jul 9th 2011 10:05AM

We all know that Rihanna brings the heat on the stage, but no one expected her concert to literally burst into flames Friday night.

The singer was performing her Loud Tour in Dallas at the American Airlines Center when some pyrotechnics went haywire during her song, 'California King Bed,' according to Celebuzz.

Rihanna left the stage when a fire broke out above her stage fireworks began to fall down -- cutting her set list short and ending the show early. Due to the obvious safety concerns, the entire crowd was evacuated from the building and no injuries were reported.

The singer took to Twitter to address the incident.

"DALLAS!!! We set the stage on FYAH tonight!!! LITERALLY!!! I'm so pissed, I was havin so much fun wit yall too!!! I gotta come back man!!," she wrote, adding, "yall CRAY!!! Love this f***n place! Glad u guys are safe!!!"

The singer also noted she was heading into a production meeting to figure out what went wrong during the concert. So far, all of the her other shows are set to go on as planned.

Check out video of the fire below!

Today's young recording artists have to use gimmicks like outrageous costuming, elaborate choreography, pyrotechnics and so on to distract from the fact that they have little to no real talent. This was inevitable.

Black performers are on a lower level because they show no morality.

Most black male performers say "MF" at least 100 times in every song.

OMG Kitty. How can you make a sweeping statement like that? Have you met ALL black performers? No.

Archie Bunker's dead. Why aren't you?

I don't get the outfits her and Beyonce wear. Same old tiring 2 piece bikinis that do nothing for them. They remind me of strippers. Beyonce and Rihanna are too overrated, overpaid pieces of trash.

By New York

Beyonce is very talented. Rhianna not at all.

By lUIS

WELL IF YOU HAVE NO TALENT LIKE MANY COLOREDS, YOU HAVE TO PARADE AROUND HALF NAKED ON STAGE LIKE A BABOON IN HEAT TO SELL YOUR MUSIC.

Appalachia.

Actually, the same can be said of Brittany Spears, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Gaga, and a few other fair skinned gals.

Spanish people are white not like the PuertoRicans who are all on welfare, poor, drug dealing criminals who have no culture and are always stealing the music and culture of Black Americans.

wrong most spanish people from the islands and south of the border are all ex convicts taht had sex with the slaves and now have poisoned blood. The only white hispanics are thepeople of Spain.

By Concern

Ben, Please get a life... and write something meaningful... I bet you wouldn't say something like that in person.

Do me a favor, and say something like that in person to a Latino and see where that would get you. You hide behind emails, but i bet your a coward in person.

This dumb twit thinks its cute to state that she set the stage on "fyah" as if she has the talent to do so. And she was heading into a production meeting to find out what happened?? Please, give me break. She left the stage, got in her limo and went back to her hotel room and moved onto another city the next day. She has no talent, she cannot sing or dance, and she is dumber than a box of rocks. We need to stop having these talentless half witted "performers" crammed down our throats. I will never buy a Rihanna, Gaga, Miley, Jonas Brothers, 50 Cent, Lil' Wayne product or album and I will make sure my daughter is never exposed to this drivel until she is of the age to know what a true role model or a actual talented performer really is.
