The video for Rihanna’s ‘Wait Your Turn’ single premiered moments ago. Getting straight to the point, the Anthony Mandler directed video is a recession-budget bore. Seriously though, what is the hype about with this chick?
Disclaimer: For those who stay posing the question ‘why do you post about her then..?’; like her or loathe her, there is obviously mass interest in Ms. Fenty, hence her featuring here. It’s kinda-sorta common logic 😉
That said, I really, really struggle to understand how – when matched up against her industry contemporaries (see: Beyonce, Lady GaGa and co) – Ms. Fenty seems like anything other than severely out of her league. I mean really there is no competition at all…
It’s a ok vid I guess. Not what I was expecting. The black and white thing worked. (I see a lot of vids are catching on to the black and white videos ever since Bey did her vids).
It’s different though. It’ll grow on me.
kinda dark huh.. its iight tho..
One time for Rihorrid! She’s earned her street cred because she grabbed her crotch in her video! LMAO….this was laughable!
IT OK, definitely not feeling the song yet.
Hilarious how hard you hate on Rihanna, but still jump at any chance to post her stuff. I think you’re obsessed.
sam, the ads are annoying…
anywho, just wasted 4 minutes of my life..who does rihanna think she is?? mary j blige now?? that vid was way below par..can rihanna at least dance a little??? all she did was walk around and try act gangsta..girl please…
not one for the religious comments but those wings and her looking like she was church was kinda weird..you know peeps are going to have to field day this..if you ever doubted this girl was over hyped for nothing..that vid said it all.. def jam needs to shelve this project and rihanna coz its pure garbage..sorry but chris is slaying them…this is the worst so called comeback in histroy!!!
ok video,i like her clothes
@ whatever. shut yo b**** ass up.
RR is in the top 10 on itunes
and her album is also. Just presales alone.
Chris aint slayin s***. he has 2 other artists on his song and cant even crack the damn top 10.
Yo ignorant ass don’t understand art.
umm- it is so obvious that she is just ‘playing’ gangsta
GRAPEJUICE YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
THERE IS TREMENDOUS INTEREST IN RIHANNA LIKE THERE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A YOUNG FEMALE BLACK ARTIST BEFORE. CAN YOU ALL NAME ONE?
RIHANNA SAYS LITTLE TO NOTHING, BUT SHE’S GOT THE WORLD AT HER FEET!!!!
SHE IS GLAMOURS WOMAN OF THE YEAR
GO RIHANNA ROBYN FENTY!!!!
SMASH THEM!
@ Nicky
RR is actually # 13 not in the top ten yet lets not get ahead of ourselves.
GGGB was a good pop album but yes this girl is over hype, sorry.
Thats my opinion and am sticking to it.
s*** song. s*** video.
ps u can post whatever u want its ur website. u dont owe the fucktard rihanna stans an explanation. IF THEY DONT LIKE THE SITE WHY VISIT??? not the other way round.
A shity video for a hot song. as a true fan, How heart broken am I right now? Damn riri, big dissapointment. Oh well, next!
oh @nicky, go lick rihanna’s c*** elsewhere..everything she has produced is pure garbage….yawnnnnnnnnnn
lol@sam..the only hype about this chick is due to the beatdown….i laughed when she says there is power in my name in her song..i was like no b****, there is power in beatdown..no one would be even saying your name if your ass was beaten!! smh..i am starting my 15 minute clock for her..yes yes, its finally time out for this no talent pon the forehead..ps sam, no more saking where it went coz it was in full effect in that gargabe of a video just like the song!!!
I won’t be clicking replay- what was the hype for? I don’t get it, very disappointing and seems like she was trying to channel a younger MJB- ah well…next cuz I wasn’t feeling it!
THE THING IS F.Y.I SAM ITS EVIDENT U POST HER BECAUSE SHE’S IN HIGH DEMAND, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, UR NOT THE MOST INTELLIGENT PERSON IN THE WORLD AS U SEEM TO BELIEVE!!!, SO DONT GET TUDEY, BUT U KNOW SHE’S IN HIGH DEMAND, ALOT OF PPL LIKE HER, YET YOU CONTINUE TO BE SOOO DISRESPECTFUL TO SOMEONE TRYNA EARN A LIVING, JUST LIKE YOU ARE, IM SURE MOST OF THE PEOPLE HERE THING UR NEW “SUPRISE LAYOUT ” IS WHACK!!! BUT THEY DONT DISRESPECT YOU, YOU CAN “LOATHE” RIHANNA ALL YOU WANT, BUT HER FANS AND YOUR VISITORS DONT WANNA HEAR SOME YOUNG ASS WRITER BITCHING ABOUT HER 24/7
YOUR NOT PEREZ HILTON, YOU DONT HAVE THAT TYPE OF STATUS YET TO BE DRAGGIN PEOPLES NAME THROUGH THE MUD, SO I SAY YOU EAT SOME HUMBLE PIE, AND STOP DISRESPECTING OTHERS, AS YOU WOULD NOT LIKE SOMEONE TO DISRESPECT YOUR WORK AND ARTISTRY.
It has S-H-I-T written all over it,
really gave it a try, but NO.
And queue the remix album(s) and re-lease(s) to save this pile of horseshit….
@ WHATEVER…..
You ever heard of Karma. Something really bad will happen to you.
God always punishes those who makes fun of those in distress, hurt, etc. You will get yours very soon!!!!!! Whether it be a death, you getting beaten, misfortune, etc.
I’ve seen it happen to people. Watch you say is all Im going to say.
Really not liking the song nor the video. Rihanna has fallen from grace ever since she kept milking and milking and milking Good Girl Gone Bad.
Bring some GOOD new tracks please. Maybe use a selected test audience before you release it the the public.
yah all of B videos was cheap as well..hell why not..but the video is lame..EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD…
I think I’ll keep on waiting….
One Word >>> CRAP!
Sam, your Rihanna posts are hilarious. You speak the TRUTH! People try and pump all this hype around Rihanna, and yet, she fails to deliver. And lets not get on her vocal abilities… Video was a bore, and the song isn’t all that great, either.
Sam you and I are so in sync when it comes to Rihorrid; I dont get it either. She is laughable. Her short comings will show themselves when she performs live. Talking all this smack, she better be able to back it up on stage.
This aint it…
Realt talk. Who was waiting.
Are youreally going to compare Rihanna against Beyonce? That’s like comparing Janet Jackson against Vanessa Hudgens, except Rihanna is more famous than that Disney s***.
Anyways,
I’m digging this new look, she’s pulling it off well and it’s scary at the same time too. She’s doing good on itunes. GO RIHANNA!
People talking she is in the top 10 in itunes, who’s coming with new music right now? Nobody so considering she’s not up against no one, that dont say much, sorry… It’s taking all day to reach that point, again, nothing special…
“Hard” featuring Young Jeezy is officially Rihanna’s second single of Rated R.
Ryan Seacrest confirms:
Her second official single “So Hard” featuring rapper Young Jeezy, follows the album’s debut single “Russian Roulette,” a dark ballad which came as a surprise to many fans who expected a high-energy dance track.
Rated R is currently at #8 and Russian Roulette at #9 on itunes Congratulations so far Rihanna!
HATERS FALL BACK
WTF, #8 at presales on ITUNES for an album is crazy. 50 CENT is #71 LOL
I’m mad you consider Lady Gaga competition….IJS
@SAM I agree 100%. At least the likes of Beyonce…….cuz she can back it up & even new comer GAga is the new aged Madonna are heavy hitters.
Not sure about the hype about rihanna. ok she had a hit song w/ Jay umbrella 3 yrs ago?? she cut her hair & dyed it black. Ok but if u lived in NYC thousands of girls was rocking that style way before Ms. Fenty. NYC sistas are nothing but fashionistas.
So with that said. I dont see the hype & she doesnt live up to the hype. but most astonishing is that Glamour is honoring rihanna as 1/12 WOMEN OF THE YEAR with the likes of First Lady Michelle Obama, poet extraordinairre Maya Angelou, & Tennis Superstar Serena williams.
So I know I missed something w/ that nomination but be that as it may. the video is boring, black & white, alley, hump hair, I’ll take baby sasha fierce for $200 alexis!
its only a promo her second single is go hard so for a promo this is sikkkk got to love her
Well, Rihanna seems to be doing something right. She has at least 10 posts on this site in the last two days, more than any other artist. More than beloved Whitney has had in months. Rihanna gets a post here if she farts, its seems. So why share it if you think it sucks? No one is even comparing her to Beyonce or vice versa. It’s like comparing Madonna to Mariah. What’s the point? The have totally different profiles in the industry.
(As I recall, Sam had hated every Beyonce video except Single Ladies. Calling all of them Recession Era – so I am even further confused by the comparison.)
Anyhow, the video is amazing – most of all, it certainly isn’t cookie cutter. It follows a look and style that is different. If a GENERIC video like CHRIS BROWN’s or 50 CENT’s gets you going – then be generic and enjoy them. They are made for generic tastes, with no risks because the songs are limp on the charts. When you have the power, you make something different.
If you prefer something DIFFERENT, new, not cookie-cutter crap, then maybe you’ll like to see this video. To call something recession that’s clearly about image is ignorant.
But I like to read the ignorance of Sam. It makes me laugh every now and then.
This s*** was WACK as hell,…and boring!!!
WTF is Rihanna doing. I was looking forward to her project but it seems like she is throwing s*** at the wall and hoping something sticks. I didn’t like the song, thought the video might help. But the video is worse. Rihanna plays dress up once again, but wheres the swag? Come harder, this won’t be easy
Yeah, I think I’m pretty much done with this blog. I know everybody has opinions, but damn, how much bashing can you do in one day? We KNOW you don’t think she’s as talented as Beyonce so WHY do you keep bringing the s*** up?? Nobody said she was trying to be the next Beyonce!!! State your case once, and then shut the f*** up if you’re gonna keep posting her! You’re gonna lose people if you keep doing this s***. Posting people you don’t care for, and then KEEP posting them just because other readers like them. Yeah they like them, but they dont wanna keep reading you coming slick every f****** post. This s*** gets old and it makes you sound like a hating ass b****. It seems like whoever out at the moment, you find a problem with them, and will keep stating that damn problem until somebody agrees with you. Did you try to get a deal but they pass you up? You sound like an artist scorned. lol
YEAH!!i’m so happy”hard”is the second single!get em riri!
The vid is garbage and the song is very underwhelming. However, to answer your question, Sam, the hype around Rihanna is her looks (which u have mentioned already) and her great songs. The music industry is about looks and sound. She has both.
Also, her music sounds amazing in clubs. Nightlife plays a big part in a pop artists longevity and relevancy. If you go to a club and the song agrees with the crowd, you buy into it. All of this is very simple math, Sam. I am not sure why you are masking your hate with a trick question. At least I hope its a trick question. You should have already known that answer.
Don’t like the video or the song.
I agree with you Chile. The music industry ins NOT about Talent these days. It’s all about promotion and marketing an image to sell to the masses.
The video is wack. So is the song.
Four minutes i will never get back. Crap song.. Crap video. I’m sure it will be top 5 though, the label will make sure the song and vid are played to death.
The video isn’t fantastic but the song is HOT! I thought you liked this song, Sam, what gives?
It is certainly original – bringing dubstep into the mainstream.
I agree with EVERYTHING u said Sam…it was a bore and compared to those that u named especially, she’s way out of her league. SMH.
hahahahahaha Sam this entire blog has become HateRihanna.com!!! Which is hilarious because I’m sure all the publicity you’re giving her is actually helping…she owns you Sam!
Ya’ll can literally HATE until the cow comes home But Rihanna is here to stay true she aint no vocal beast but give the gurl her props she’s hawt and she’s gonna have anotha smash album!!!!!!!!! I luv the video and the single (it grew on me very quickly) cant wait for “Russian
Roulette” to premiere
Sam you are a hater!!!! the only reason you post on Rihanna is because you know any post about her will draw people to your site, which is often times good except when you are CLEARLY hating on RIHANNA! BUT my thing is if you were a real BOSS!!! you wouldnt POST ANYTHING about her since she is so out of your level and not worthy to be in the music industry! grow some! be a BOSS and DO NOT post about her!! then your HATE for rihanna will be clearly evident!
At the beginning when she says “It’s just the way the game is played
It’s best if you just wait your turn.” She sounds like Fefe Dobson.
NO TALENT WHAT SO EVER! I WISH THESE KIDS WILL WAKE AND BUY ALBUMS OF CREDIBLE ARITSTS.
YOU REALLY CAN’T COMPARE HER WITH THE LIKES OF BEY, GAGA, ETC.
post “Hard” you late ass! it shits on any and every sasha song ive ever heard. u always 2 steps behind on some s*** u c***!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sam or Trent posted it already jacksass:
http://thatgrapejuice.net/2009/11/song-rihanna-hard-ft-young-jeezy/
Sam got these haters heated. I love the drama around this place!
one thinks sam cumz in here and comments under a different name sticking up for his sad ass,cause he is clearly out of order 4 wat he’s doing, ur as low n pathetic as he is if ur agreeing with him..and has n.ebody noticed sams predictions r always WAY OFF he calls sumthin wack or a flop n then it always turns out 2 do the opposite, shows how much he knows, he’s a BITTER little bitchboy IMO
THANK GOD you clocked the T where it needed to be clocked.
I more than don’t get the hype. I was even on her s*** in terms of her “highly anticipated” album. From what I’ve heard (both songs) are s*** for lack of a better word. Rihanna cannot sing and that’s not really the issue, it’s also the wack lyrics to her songs. It’s clear she isn’t writing her own material and if so the b**** need to stop.
chris Brown: I can transform ya #5
Rhianna: Russian Roulette #47
Itunes
Did they release ‘the wait is ova’ to itunes because id on’t see it on the singles chart.
uh…jay shudda never given rihanna creative control. this s*** she makin now is lame.
after all, rihanna is a product, not an artist.
WHERE THE HATERS AT WHERE THE HATERS AT ——–> COMMENTORS
WHERE THE BLOGGERS AT WHERE THE BLOGGERS AT —–>SAM
Russian Roulette #2 on itunes!!! Projected to be #1 tomorrow!!! Case closed.
This video is an introduction to the new era dumbasses. Only given you raw Rihanna. RR and Hard will both be HAAAARD.
since ur not been nice, i gaz i dont have 2 be nice, sam ur new layout is boring, pathetic and unintresting the way u was talking about how ur working on a new design i thought is was gonna be big, the best, stand up the with the best in the business yet uve manage to come up with the worst design ever… i mean even my little brada could have come up with a better design but his only 9, ur site is s***, ur f***** f*****
This is NOT a SINGLE!…Its a promo song/video for the fans..
her singles are as follows:
Russian Roulette(1st)
Hard(2nd)
^hence why it premiered on her offical website…
But before all these negative comments it was suppose to be the second release single. This was not for the fans it was to be a mega song that was suppose to work miracles after the comments they got after hearing RR. I find it very funny how they did a flip flop after reading all the negativity about RR, brought this song out, people dont like, and now “Hard” is suppose to be the next one and people are still doing the same thing. So, now I guess next week it will be another change up due to lack of good responses? OK!
This b**** is so silly
Its funny and stupid the way the video starts and the way she sings the part the wait is over the wait is over how stupid and lame.
Shes so overated.
@whystillinbusiness >> The video for Wait Your Turn was shot well before Russian Roulette was released, see posts on this blog.
As for it flopping? Russian Roulette is currently #2 on Itunes after 24 hours (compared to Chris Brown stalling at #16 after 4 weeks, and it only ever went as high as 15) Roulette has almost 10,000 spins at radio in just 2 weeks. You can hate the songs, but don’t say others do. The proof is in the pudding, b****! 🙂
