Critical Reception
There is a new review available from Detroit. (http://www.mlive.com/entertainment/detroit/index.ssf/2013/03/rihanna_makes_promise_to_her_d.html) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.135.11.188 (talk) 15:58, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Please fix the redirect - it should be Unapologetic (album)#Diamonds World Tour. StAnselm (talk) 19:44, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
StAnselm (talk) 19:44, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
Done. Redirect was broken when Unapologetic was moved to Unapologetic (album). Thanks for catching this. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:07, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, I undid that move, so the old target is OK now. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:31, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Some more reviews to add to critical reception
http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/1552443/rihanna-finds-her-voice-as-diamonds-tour-shines-in-hartford http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/music/rihanna-rocks-without-apology-at-toronto-concert/article9939953/?cmpid=rss1 http://www.masslive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2013/03/concert_review_rihanna_at_the.html http://www.hiphopcanada.com/2013/03/rihanna-slays-the-stage-on-diamonds-tour-at-the-acc-in-toronto-review/ http://www.rap-up.com/2013/03/09/rihanna-dazzles-at-diamonds-world-tour-kickoff/
The second Toronto Sun inclusion already on the page is kind of slanted. There's no criticism present in her tardiness, just a small mention and " felt the show only featured "some varied highlights"" is really taken out of context. http://www.torontosun.com/2013/03/18/rihanna-makes-stop-at-the-acc Also the "Nick Krewen from Toronto Sun" review already included does not have a valid source. Entertainmentwise out-sources their quotes for reviews in their articles, but there is no Nick Krewen review from the Toronto Sun on their website or papers.
I have included a new write-up for the section below with the new additions and edits:
Mick Stingley of "Billboard" felt that, "For an hour and a half Rihanna shined. Her interplay with her dancers and her longtime band leader Nuno Bettencourt (of the rock band Extreme), was a treat, especially watching the Boston rocker dance with his guitar. With five costume changes, set changes and the glitz of video and flashing lights, the artist put on a fantastic show and was in excellent voice, her laryngitis clearly over. Part school-girl tease and part masterful performer, she grabbed her crotch and shook her bottom and smiled all the while." He concluded his review with, "Rihanna is arguably the biggest pop star in the world. At only 25 she has recorded seven albums in less than ten years and sold millions around the world; she’s more than a household name, she’s a brand. A tabloid regular, her personal life has started to eclipse her music career; but with The Diamonds World Tour, it appears Rihanna is taking it back." [1]
Brad Wheeler from "The Globe and Mail", ""The 100-minute thrill ride included a two-tune encore, comprised of the bluesy ballad Stay – the woman can sing – and the sky-gazing, swirling, upswooping single Diamonds...Rihanna’s star is hot and still on the rise – Beyoncé’s Sasha Fierce is now Sasha Fears."" [2] Donnie Moorhouse of "Mass Live" echoed that sentiment stating, ""This was the type of show you would expect from a Grammy star who sits in the same stratosphere as singers like Alicia Keyes, Beyonce, and J-Lo. Rihanna’s performance was certainly on par with the performances those stars can deliver." [3]
Natasha Paolini for "HipHopCanada" felt "It was obvious that she has grown and matured as an artist and as an individual. I love the way she performed on this tour, she was sexy, charming and even vulnerable at times. With the exception of minor vocal slip-ups, Rihanna put on a stellar show that was tasteful, raw and fun." [4] Popular hip-hop source, "Rap-Up", claimed, "Rihanna brought the glitz and glamour to Buffalo, New York, for the launch of her biggest tour yet. The concert was divided into three acts and featured a four-piece band, eight dancers, and plenty of show-stopping moments." [5]
Jane Stevenson of the "Toronto Sun" felt that "Bigger was definitely better as the 25-year-old artist, starting an hour later than scheduled, kicked off her show kneeling in a black cape in front of a female statue on a video screen before the full effect of the large-scale production kicked in...And if she was still suffering from the laryngitis that caused her to cancel two shows of the Diamonds Tour in the U.S. last week, you’d never know it from her strong vocals on such ballads as What Now, Love The Way You Lie and Stay...I’ve seldom seen a music artist so aware of her body and how to use it." Bernard Perusse from Montreal Gazette was generally more mixed in his opinion, stating "It was all a bit of a shame, given that this concert was more visually appealing and better paced than the singer’s last Montreal appearance, in June 2011. There was much to like in the simple staging, which seemed almost spartan by pop-diva standards, allowing the four musicians and 10 dancers to occupy the same space without everything getting claustrophobic [...]"[6]
There several reviews; Hartford (http://www.masslive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2013/03/concert_review_rihanna_at_the.html), Phiadelphia (http://articles.philly.com/2013-03-15/news/37747512_1_robyn-rihanna-fenty-diamonds-world-tour-chris-brown), Montreal (http://blogs.montrealgazette.com/2013/03/18/concert-review-rihanna-at-the-bell-centre-march-17-2013/) , Billboard's review Hartford (http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/1552443/rihanna-finds-her-voice-as-diamonds-tour-shines-in-hartford). You can use those source for the critical response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JLeemans1 (talk • contribs) 17:56, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Not done: requests for changes to the page protection level should be made at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. The proper way to handle this would be to unprotect the redirect, not to post an article over it while it is still protected. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 21:31, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

"You Da One" need to be added to the setlist, the first time they played the song was in Montreal.

Dates
Why are there "Attendance" and "Gross revenue" added? There are no box offices released yet.
And why is there always "citation needed"? You can add the official rihanna website as the citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JLeemans1 (talk • contribs) 17:16, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- Because 1) Box office info will be available soon and 2) Rihanna's website is not a reliable source, as it is a primary source. We work on third party sources here. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 18:55, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Okay, I understand. But when I will make this page, I will remove "attendance" and "gross revenue" now, and when the boxoffice is released, you can ad it again but now, it looks empty. And another question again: Are there no other sources for those dates? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JLeemans1 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- There's nothing wrong with the inclusion of them. It's empty because we don't have the information yet, and it's good to be prepared. Believe me, I have searched for sources for them and couldn't find one. The citation needed tag is there so if someone else can find a source for it, they can add it. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 21:22, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
