Rihanna's "Naughty Schoolgirl" Performance on the X Factor

At first glance, it would seem like Rihanna was following the order of the establishment to tone down the shock value of her performances (last time X Factor received complaints regarding her "raunchiness"), sporting a schoolgirl look this time. But on close inspection, the words scrawled on her shoes ("F** off!") may reflect her true intentions.

Her controversial footwear was perhaps a cheeky salute to Ofcom, who ensured there was no gyrating in skimpy costumes this year.




Rihanna's energetic performance of the song, currently topping the charts in the UK, turned the studio into a dance party.

The superstar told Dermot O'Leary afterwards that she was considering moving to London after performing so many shows in the UK this year.

Despite hitting number one around the world, We Found Love, a collaboration with Calvin Harris, has not been without controversy.

Last week the Rape Crisis Centre labelled Rihanna a 'disgrace' for the raunchy music video, which sees the singer being spanked by her real life boyfriend Dudley O'Shaughnessy, who also pens the word 'mine' on her behind.

Speaking to the Daily Star, a spokesperson for the centre said: 'Rihanna's new video is a disgrace.
'It sends the message that she is an object to be possessed by men, which is disturbingly what we see in real violence cases.'

Last year Rihanna's performance during the finals, along with Christina Aguilera's, attracted 4,500 complaints to Ofcom.
