Double Dose of Rihanna at MTV VMAs

Christmas came early this year as the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards had not one but two amazing performances by Rihanna last night.

The “Umbrella” singer performed the first song of the night, leading off with a fantastic rendition of her hit “Disturbia,” accompanied by a team of backup dancers.

Then, later in the night she joined T.I. for a lengthy medley including “It’s Your Life” in which traded in her S&M-inspired “Disturbia” costume for a rock and roll chick getup including a cropped black leather jacket and black jeans with black leather boots.

According to press, Rihanna’s boyfriend Chris Brown kept a close eye on her during her rehearsal with T I the day before the VMAs, accompanying her to the venue and sticking around for the duration of practice.
