 Rihanna performed a short medley that comprised " Love the Way You Lie ( Part II ) " , " What 's My Name ? " and " Only Girl ( In the World ) " at the American Music Awards of 2010 . Another medley , consisting of " Love the Way You Lie ( Part II ) " and " I Need a Doctor " , was performed at the 2011 Grammy Awards . While the Chicago Sun @-@ Times considered the track an unnecessary sequel , the BBC reviewer James Skinner wrote , " ' Love the Way You Lie ( Part II ) ' even bests the original , Eminem 's verse exuding the kind of volatile , simmering menace that got everyone so excited about him in the first place . But it is Rihanna 's vocal — at once commanding , soulful and vulnerable — that anchors the song " .
