    Rihanna just keep on working and learning, try to keep it as right
    as you can and stop letting all of yo business go out on social
    media, stop being on the border line because many or paying
    very close attention to yo every move, mamma.

    @ LAX WHAT IS OUTSTANDING ABOUT THIS VIDEO? BUT THE SAME REPETITION MOVEMENTS AND ACTIONS CAUGHT ON CAMERA, CUT CUT CUT. IF IT WAS IT WOULD GET RECOGNIZED. SHE NEVER GETS ANY RECOGNITION FOR HER VIDEOS. SAD
    QUESTION: WHICH OTHER ARTIST CAN COOK UP A VIDEO LIKE THIS? CHILD!!! ANSWER.:THE MANY WHO HAS HAD ICONIC VIDEOS BEFORE AND AFTER THAT VIDEO YOU POSTED.

  9. Bey Fan May 15, 2012

    Im gonna say this again…. Rihanna should never be photographed with her close and singing… she aint hitting no hard notes…

    Rihanna looks hot…. I like this assemble… it’s giving me something… kinda like “Remember The Time” meets “Where Have You Been”…. I kinda like it.

    Anyone have the link to the performance….

    @SLEEK, Nothing but the truth!!!!!!!Rihanna won the International award and beyonce’s
    name was in the line up, so what does that tell you.

  14. G-Dawg May 15, 2012

    Illuminati in full effect, the outfit and the hand gesture, she is not even trying to hide it. Oh where the times will be taking us soon, find Jesus folks, time is running out.

    @GRAPEJUICE & JAMES227
    To address both of you first off grape juice it do not matter what you
    type, comment or say that in no way has stopped her counts for going
    up on youtube she os still the highest female with youtube views. She
    tops beyonce on youtube and she does not dance as hard as beyonce.
    @ JAMES I to am LMAO @ This,,,,,and who can you compare to rih’s list?
    see there or some things that will stand up in court and other things want no matter how many might feel about Rihanna and her life and career. All she
    need to do now is hold it stedy and straight in the road and Chill with her partying for a while or do it on the inside of her Pad….

    @Rihanna Haters one of the most exciting things that rihanna
    accomplished and you would not know about is in there where they state this:
    Most TOP HITS on the American TOP 40 Since Aretha Franklin In 1968

    Now keep right on fukkkkkin with my “FAVE and trying to screw her Career!!!!!!!!!!

  17. latifa May 15, 2012

    i think the song and video are one of her best to date, and as strong as her new material is she needs to take a break, shes starting to get a little overexposed

  18. PrettigurlrockD May 15, 2012

    #DEAD Rihanna isn’t creative at all. She hardly makes decisions. Her team does. So I give them more credit.

  22. ok! May 15, 2012

    I hate to tell you this, but Rihanna is destroying her self! She cant lie to her self and that’s what is keeping her doing drugs and drinking and partying. Talent is not in her genes, she’ s cute!

  23. lordmir May 15, 2012

    Everybody knows rihanna doesn’t produce or writting her songs , her videos even less

  24. kingphoenix May 15, 2012

    Very Sasha Fierce, meets wonder woman, meets Cleopatra…How creative of her.

    And they say my girl is a their, at least when she borrows, she improves them…unlike some who look like they have been shopping in party city for costumes and showing reblogged Tumblr pics to their wigstylist of their less famous counterparts hairstyles for “inspiration.” #Thuglyfe

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kXRuizH6hA0#t=207slax and another two minutes to stop navy All Clips of Beyonce’s name in your mouth at the bottom that you like your idol rihanna envy and jealous that Beyonce since the beginning how do you compare this wreckage beyoncé video I post shows how did it has no ability in singing and dancing result it remains that it is suit and nothing else poor girl who is believed to be a great singer
    even own the song she is not able to sing

    regarding the fact that rihanna is more video seen on youtube we all know she’s maneuver position of these fans for a link that video is the highest number of views as possible so she wanted to exceed the record of what nicky you post a link to exceed the record of who is nicky provoke a war between fans of the navy and those of nicky she uses no fair way to move forward not what you invent.
    and rihanna is not underestimating it is exactly what it’s worth saying a girl has no talent trash

  32. kingphoenix May 15, 2012

    @Pop

    Yeah i was thinking about that but i didn’t feel like mention or posting pictures of Madonna, not in the mood for stunt kweens today.

    And yeah, i am not here for the laziness of her people either. Did you get into her make up? It looks like she went a carnival and let a clown paint her face.

    Like come on Rih Rih we know you can do better, i honestly wouldn’t be suprised if she sat in that chair 80 % of the performance….Maybe she can redeem herself at Billboard though, like she did at the Grammy’s. You know she gotta make Chris and Kookachew eat crow….

  33. WILD DEBUTANTE May 15, 2012

    @PrettigurlrockD

    Her writing credits, video directing credits, exec. producer credits, Designing credits, creative director credits etc. etc. say otherwise.

    @I JUDGE FLOPS

    It was JUST released May 8th and already topping the charts, how is that flopping? being its her FOURTH single, its doing better than some of these artist FIRST singles.

  34. POP ROYALTY ( RéVolution) May 15, 2012

    @kingPhonix :

    LMFAO , you got me with that ” Kookqchew” one …… i love YOU YOU YOU !! 🙂

    and i co-sign with all what you have said , that make up was not “IT” , cleopatra never looked that messy. that’s why i’m disgusted ! what the actual f*** was that ?! if you are going for avatar look , go for it and leave cleopatra alone !

    but some of the navy say she did great and danced her ass Off. but i won’t comment on it till someone post a HQ video of her performance.
    but i don’t expect a beyonce kind of performance from here if you get what i mean ! 😉

    and they are all yet to top what beyonce did last year , that was a STRIKE ! 😉

  35. darren May 15, 2012

    Uncle Rush says got off Rihanna D***. What is the message here? He has daughters would he want his daughters like Rihanna?

  36. darren May 15, 2012

    Illuminati hand sign? Satan will come for his child very soon.

  37. kingphoenix May 15, 2012

    @Pop

    Yeah, Rih has been doing better performing WHYB, so i will give her the benefit of the Doubt..and i think only Bey or maybe Gaga on her best and brightest day, could ever top that perfomance. lol

  38. kingphoenix May 15, 2012

    @Pop

    Luv you too bew…Come to the States, so that when they make gay marriage legal all over i can marry you! *wink*

    LOOK AT THIS B*TCH “BILLY THE KID”, QUEEN OF THE HOWLIN’ BILLYGOATS!

    Rihanna looks retarded! I guess once the hair dye runs out, whining about a 3 yr old fight she caused, using her ex-boytoy for a hit record then claiming he’s dissing her in a song -WHICH WAS NEWS TO HIM – this is what’s left……dressing up like a BROKEN DOWN WILD ISLAND CHEETAH STYLE STATUE OF LIBERTY! Girl sit!!

  40. POP ROYALTY ( RéVolution) May 15, 2012

    @KIngphonix :

    LOLZ ! you are messy 🙂

    i think it is hard for me to be gay ! i like girls 🙂 ! and you are a girl , right ?!

    so ……

    you TGJ guys love to play with the “gay” thing with me , at this point , it is ineffective 😆 , i’m not gay and you know it ! you TGJ guys and girls want me to be one but sadly i’m not ! actually i’m in a relationship with a girl and i have my own personal life and my love life. 😀
    so yes i’m no gay , but you can be my cyber-wife 😉 !

    To be a druggie and accomplish as much as she did for this pass year
    is impossible for any one to do drugs do a movie and tour 100 plus tour stops.
    But anywhoo keep calling her a Druggie, she know and she is the one who
    has to do something about that, not me or her massive navy!!!!!!

  48. TheMrs May 16, 2012

    I think she looks beautiful and I refuse to tear that young woman down. She may not have Beyonce’s voice? So what! I find Rihanna quite entertaining and she always keeps you guessing with what she’s going to say, do or wear next. Those factors alone will keep you the media buzzing about you.

  49. POP ROYALTY ( RéVolution) May 16, 2012

    i told u i love you already , right ?!

    man or a girl , i Love you. 😀

    loooolllllssssssssssss

    inna is more successful than beyonce’s whole 16 years “experience”. she has more no 1s in romania. alexandra stan has more talent and a bigger fanbase and will s*** on beyonce’s grammys and outsell her in no time.

  51. Me May 16, 2012

    It’s really alarming how some of you (ahem LAX) can put a flesh and blood human on a pedestal like this. Rihanna is pretty and wears nice clothes….but she’s human yet being worshipped like some kind of deity. This idolizing of mere humans is quite scary.
