Check out this behind the scenes look at Rihanna‘s video for latest single ‘Rude Boy’ (directed by Melina). Credit where credit is due, this Bajan model was going for gold with the sass and overall confidence she exuded on this one. Granted great editing did her a lot of favours in terms of making her mechanical whine less…well…mechanical, she gave it her all and deserves kudos for that. It’s just a shame that Ms. Fenty never seems to replicate such swagger when a mic and a live audience are given to her. Sigh…

hahahaha Rhi rhi cannot sing but boy her album is the biznezzz!
to bad her album is flopping and falling down the charts faster then fantasy ride.
rihanna had a nice career,
but no one wil care about rude boy when the telephone video drops.
you know it 🙂
LMAO she need pictures of models up, to get posing tips, just shows you how original she is, don’t even say it’s for inspiration, her only inspiration is to wear less clothes, act like a w**** and makes loads of money.
The world of money and fame, people will do anything, including degrading themselves and changing everything they are to become a fake, my motto ” Be yourself ;
Rihanna has changed everything about her character to even be considered that’s she’s being true to herself, even with her music she has no solid direction, she’s just trying to see how far she can go by being this caribbean commercial puppet, I suppose her next album will see her doing country music, just so she can get the white country fans on board, a la Taylor Swift and while she’s at it, I a wait the next hairdo too.
SAMA U M***********
U JUST POSTED DREAMO WHO CANT SING AND IS TERRIBLE BUT HE GET SNO HATE LIKE RIHANNA
U PIECE OF CRAP
RUDE BOY IS 64 ON HOT 100 HATERS
AND TOP 20 ITUNES IN OVER 20 COUNTIRES WITHOUT OFFICIAL RELEASE
R U PEOPLE MAD
THNE F*** U UGLY B******
BEAUTIFUL TALENTED SUCCESSFUL SELLING STILL MILLIONS UNLIKE OTHER LOSERS
RIHANNA KILL THESE THIN VOCAL BREATHY B******
Lol @ the idiot that said Rated R is falling faster than Fantasy Ride… on that retarded logic alone does not deserve an arguement.
I love her accent and she just has a real cool air about her.
LOVINGGG THE LONG HAIR IN ON HER..SHE SHOULD GO BACK TO THAT LOOK.
as usual i cant view this video
Everyone knows that Rated R is epic, her best album ever and the reviews, people that are specialized in music, the important ones rated it 4/5, it is much better then Good Girl Gone Bad and it is much better then all of the bubble gum pop albums her fellows make, it isnt everything about the numbers, no1 can be judged by the numbers so I dont know why you argue if she is flopping or not.
You can see that she is improving in all aspects, she is 21, she has got alot to learn but you just keep your eyes closed because when you dont want to see what is happening, you dont see it, and what is happening here is someone growing as an artist and making her name in the business, I feel sorry for you that get annoyed when someone is growing artisticaly and is really working to improve her skills.

The first single from singer/song-writer The-Dream’s 3rd (and supposedly final) LP ‘Love King’ surfaced a few minutes ago. Also titled, ‘Love King’, the song finds the hit-maker in familiar territory with its witty lyrics, numerous catchy hooks, and playful production (courtesy of L.O.S Da Mystro)
Though a decent effort, the fact that the song would not sound out of place on either of his previous album’s (2007’s ‘Love Hate’ and 2009’s ’Love vs Money’), highlights a lack of artistic progression – if this is a taste of what the rest of his record will be serving up. While, I, for the most part, enjoy Dream’s offerings and his ‘trademark’, it’s somewhat problematic when much of your material sounds the same – despite there being a 3-4 year gap between when they were released. Still, I’m sure radio will eat this up. Take from that what you will…
THAT IS WHAT SAM AND TRENT SAID ABOUT THE DREAM NOW TELL ME WHERE HE IS KISSING ASS – LEARN TO COMPREHEND AND THEN COMEBACK WITH A RESPONSE THAT MAKES SENSE!!
too bad her album is the biggest flop lol,and this single will flop as others haaaaaaa
flopppppppppppp flopppppppppppppppppp
@Onions(Keeping It Real)
Agreed. You can only pretend your something for so long, until you end up exposing yourself as a fraud. I mean when Rihanna came out, she was a breath of fresh air. I loved this girl to death. I thought she was going to be one of those rare artist that didn’t give a damn what the trend was, she was going to stay true to themselves. When GGGB came out I was so excited to here what wonders awaited me for this album. When I heard it, I was speechless.(Not the good kind).Good Girl Gone Bad? More like Good Girl Gone Pop. She had to drop her roots to become the success she is. I mean, don’t get me wrong, its nothing wrong with experimenting with different music, hell thats apart of being a true artist. Trying new things. But I mean damn, the girl 360ed herself. I could barely hear her accent in her songs anymore. When she comes out with a REAL album, I will be buying for sure…
Y’all
LOVE
TO
HATE!
END OF STORY!
Sam needs to stay off Rihannadaily. GOOD DAY
@mushylove
she is a mainstream artist and when she appeared with Pon de replay, what was selling was regae/regaeton (Sean Paul, Daddy Yankee..), she was doing what was trendy at the moment, if you are ignorant and you didnt understand, that is your fault, not her fault, she was discovered by Jay-Z, one of the biggest music moguls alive, did you really think he wanted an underground artist? She turned Pop, like Kanye West turned this auto-tune machine he is now, Jay-Z protégés usually follow the trend, they aren’t different, DUH
@mushy love and onions, rihanna neva dropped her roots. She is very aware of where she came from, and her accent, and bajan bloodline is not going anywhere, so wth are you guys talking about she dropped her roots. If you look at it, rihanna always incorporate some type of caribbean flavored songs on her album, so that tells me she is very intuned with making sure she still represents her caribbean style. For example on this album Rated R she has three caribbean flavored songs, Wait your turn, te amo, and rude boy, so i can’t see where you guys are gettng she is forgetting her roots. If you guys know anything about business, you would know that you have to expand your reach, and that is what rihanna has been consistantly doing and that is what all artist are not scambling to do now that they have seen rihannas world wide reach, they are all trying to go international, following ri ri. You guys just hate this girl for some reason, and I don’t know why someone elses success have to bother you all so much. There are many artists in the business, support the ones you love, and leave rihanna to those of us who like whatever it is she is serving up. We are not bothered, and we’re the ones buying her albums, so you non supporters and the ones who don’t buy her albums and listen to her music should be the last to talk. She is doing what she is doing for her fans, not her haters. and we her fans love it.
correction- * are now scrambling to do.
can someone please explain to me why she has other pictures of model poses up? I really thought she was being original…damn I was wrong..I love Rih but now i’m starting to look the other way…she is just another media-made artificial singer…sigh..and to think I was a fan…oh well. Rated R is going down the charts…maybe she should just stick to being a model…
@ MOVIEMAN
FOR ONE, YOURE GAY FOR EVEN MENTIONING LADY GAGA. LADY GAGA IS A GAY ICON AND MAKES MUSIC FOR GAY PEOPLE
FOR TWO FANTASY RIDE DIDNT EVEN SELL F****** 200K COPIES AND 400K WORLDWIDE. SHUT YOUR INACCURATE ASS UP.
THIRD, HOW IS THE ALBUM FLOPPING WHEN ITS CONSTANTLY GOING UP ON ITUNES
RUDE BOY CONSTANTLY GOING UP ON ITUNES
AND THE ALBUM HAS SOLD ALMOST 2 MILLION WORLDWIDE AND COUNTING
I HATE HATE HATE IGNORANT F***. YOU ARE ONE AS WELL AS SAM
This “behind the scenes” just proved what a toy Rihanna is! She is just being played and moved around by everyone. Usually in behind the scenes footage, the TRUE artists tells us, the viewers, what they vison of THEIR video is, and what they planned to bring across. Why they are wearing the particular costumes for particular scenes and colors schemes they use, etc. We just see Rihanna walking where she’s told to walk and doing what she is told to do. She has no vision and aim of her own and that’s sad because she is FAR past her first album and should by now have direction over her career. This showed me nothing new about Riri or even showed me she’s savvy when it comes to the music business because obviously she isn’t. And then she had her own hype team *her friends* hyping her moves! Even she admitted it sucked LOL. I have learned NOTHING new about this gurl!
The hair is off. Not a good look.
Reminds me of the vid for Beyonce’s Kitty Kat. Clap Bey, your penchant for Xeroxing is catching on……
@ nikki..you are ignorant for even saying that Gaga’s music is only for gay people. Stop bragging about Rihanna going up on the Itunes charts…How about the Billboard charts..have you checked that lately? where is her album and singles on there? Have any of them made it to number one? NOPE! Her fan base isnt big like it used to be. Get over it.
@MISTY AND OMG
OMR ARE U DUMB
THOSE ARE REFRENCES
HAVE U GUYS SEEN UPGRADE U BEHIOND THE SCNE WHERE BEYONCE IS SITTIGN THERE AND ON THE WALL ARE ALL THRSE PICTURES AND POSES
THOSE ARE REFRENCES OMG HPOW DUMB ARE U
@LYRIC LEE
SWEETY I KNOW BUT HE DIDNT HATE ON HSI VOCALS WHICH ARE WORSE TERRIBLER THAN RIHANANS WILL EVER BEE
@Newsflash Haters
I dont hate her. Just because my opinion is different doesn’t mean I hate her. Goodness..
@HI HI its obvious that some of these people don’t realize how the industry works. They just randomly pop off at the mouth, not knowing that this is how video shoots, or magazine shoots go. Although you are the star or artist, you still have to follow certain protocals, because you are not the one directing the shoots. You have to follow the directors direction, and the poses and stuff posted up, are reference points that the artist has to follow in order to do the video or shoot. You all claim to be experts on here, but your comments clearly show you don’t know what you are talking about. Go behind the scenes of any video shoot, or production, and you would see so many things posted up it’ll make your head spin. Even actors and actress have cue cards, and reference points they have to work with, but no one ever accused them of not knowing what they are doing and being fake. I guess the rules always changes when it comes to rihanna. SMH.
@Newsflash Haters
I dont hate her. Just because my opinion is different doesn’t mean I hate her. Goodness..Look @ my comment. I never disrespected her one time. I have no reason to..
@ HIHIHI
boo u the dumb one. In ALL the behind the scenes I’ve seen the artists explain whats goin on behind the scenes. Its an exclusive to explain what the vd is about lol. Rihanna dont kno wat the f*ck is goin on so she’s just walkin around doin nothin. She has no direction of her own AT ALL. Shes a puppet!
Overall concept was hot .Def think if someone with a little more omph in the dancing had done this video it would have SLAYED.
Decent effort.
she is hot, the video is hot, the song is hot, i love her style and swag to def
but she sounded HORRIBLE performing this live smh

kids these days…aint even all that serious. Well I guess it is, if stans are that low…
leave rihanna alone. y yall hating on her? cant u see that shes the best, all the other artists need to bow down to rihanna. cause shes a bad bish. how many records has she sold 13, 14, how many records can yall haters say yall sold..ZERO.
her last album sold 5 million records so far.., i mean the girl is on itunes for god sakes. LEAVE HER ALONE U BUNCH OF LOSERS…
thats how the stans sound every damn day. it get tired to hear somebody constantly kissing her goat singing a**….
the rude boy video was alright, i didnt hate it..we all know shes not a dancer so I didnt expect her to be doing any dancing..
Hi Sunshine!
if shes such a bad bish like yall stans keep crying bout, y dont yall let her work speak for it self? y every time yall gt to be on here listing how many records she sold, how many countries shes number 15 at, how shes selling on itunes.
is it because her work cant talk for it self..that u guys have to break it down constantly for us, how perfect she is.
look at Sade, her work is speaking for it self, 500k on her first week..she didnt have to show no a**, no tits, dissed other artists..shes not on every magazine, every radio tv stations..and yet her talent is speaking for itself..
why cant rihanna bring big numbers like that?
@ FREE
FUNNY YOU MENTION SADE……WHEN YOU HAVE A LIVING LEGEND LISTENING AND LIKING YOR ALBUM, (SADE LIKING RIH) YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT.
RIHANNA’S ALBUM , VERY DIFFERENT THAN HER LAST ONE. PEOPLE ARE CATCHING ON TO IT, THE NUMBERS ARE SPEAKING FOR THEMSELVES. SHE’S ALMOST AT 2 MILLION WORLDWIDE .
RUDE BOY IS ALSO SMASHING.
http://www.r*****.com/2010/02/02/who-does-sade-listen-to/
@ FREE
I AGREE %100!!!!! I WAS ONE OF THOSE 500,000 PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THAT ALBUM AND IT IS SOME GREAT MUSIC AND MUSICIANSHIP!
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT RIHANNA’S MUSIC NOT SPEAKING FOR ITSELF CUZ YOU’RE RIGHT STANS ALWAYS HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MENTION DIFFERENT INFORMATION ABOUT RIHANNA IN ORDER FOR OTHERS TO KNOW WHAT SHE’S ACCOMPLISHED OR NOT ACCOMPLISHED FOR THAT MATTER! ESPECIALLY WHEN SOME STAN MENTIONED THE WHOLE “SHE MAKES $100,00 FOR GOING TO A FASHION SHOW”……….WHICH IS SOOOO IRRELEVANT BECAUSE SHE’S A SINGER AND THE FACT THAT SHE MAKES ALOT OF MONEY FROM MODELING CLOTHES (WHICH SHOULD BE HER CAREER IMO) AND NOT EVEN SINGING SAYS ALOT ABOUT HER AND HER “SINGING” CAREER. SMH.
Yea Yea Yea… we all know she’s not the best singer Ok! Quit stating the obvious….Even her stans know she ain’t the best when it comes to vocals…and in no way am I comparing her to Janet Jackson, BUT Miss Jackson doesn’t have the strongest voice either….and she is one of the best and most loved female artists of all times. She had good songs and phenomenal dance moves to compensate for her weakest attribute..and don’t yall even front cuz you know it’s true. I like Rihanna because she’s versatile…in her STYLE and she Loves what she does, regardless of what people have to say about her….She shows that she likes to try different things and expand her horizons…that’s why I really liked her new album, because it wasn’t that generic s*** that you hear everybody else do..and it was alot better than her last 3 albums. Everybody just needs to fall back and let her do her…..she gettin money regardless of what you think so…the negative commentary and bashing ain’t doin s***….
As long as she happy doin’ what she doin…let her do that…….and it looks pretty bad bringing Chris Brown into this….but take him for example….(not that their talent is comparable..cuz we all know CB is in a caliber of his own) but with the whole situation that happened between them, he is still persevering and making music for his fans because that’s what he LOVES to do, not because he wants strictly just $$$….because if that were the case he wouldn’t make a FREE mixtape that contained 21 songs…..LEt them be them and make music because they want to instead of putting them on such a “unrealistic pedistool ” that you claim you DONT put them on *cough cough* Rihanna *couch cough*….anyway…Im done…
@FREE CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHICH ARTIST RIHANNA DISSED SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME
talk to me when Her album starts to go back up on the Billboard charts…cause that is the chart that really counts and her album keeps goin down,down,down,down,dowwwwn! lol…she aint even on the itunes charts for the US….lmaoooo Keep thinking that being #23 on Itunes in some remote part of the world is some big accomplishment…its not. Its horrible for a star of her magnitude. She sucks! And I think the rest of the world is starting to think so. only the stans think that she is great. LIKE I SAID TALK TO ME WHEN HER ALBUM GOES PLATINUM IN THE US B******…UNTIL THEN ITS HER FOURTH ALBUM AND ITS A FLOPPP! GET MAD AND STAY MAD STUPID STANS SHE WILL NEVER TOP BEYONCE!
@NICKY HOW OLD ARE YOU, BECAUSE YOUR COMMENTS ARE VERY IMMATURE, I MEAN YOU ARE POSTING A LINK THAT SADE LISTENS TO RIHANNA WTF, ARE YOU SERIOUS. SADE LISTENS TO RIHANNA SO WHAT, ITS NOT A BIG DEAL. PLEASE NICKY GROW UP, AND I’M ASKING ALL THE SENSIBLE AND INTELLIGENT PEOPLE NOT TO RESPOND TO NICKY AND HIHIHIHI COMMENTS BECAUSE THEY BLOG LIKE 2 YEAR OLD KIDS
@JAY I COSIGN 100%, IF RUDE BOY GOES TO #1 THEY ARE GONNA GO MAD.SO WHAT IF RB GOES NUMBER 1 THAT DOES NOT MAKE HER THE BIGGEST SUPER STAR IN THE WORLD, ITS ALL ABOUT THE ALBUM SALES AND HER ALBUM IS TANKING.COME ON GUYS THIS IS HER FOURTH ALBUM AND SHE CAN’T PASS THE 200K IN THE FIRST WEEK ITS A DAMN SHAME FOR THE INTERNATIONAL STATUS THAT HER FANS ARE GIVING HER.THEN THEY ARE GONNA COME AND POST THAT HER ALBUM SELLS 2 MILLION WORLDWIDE, WHEN OTHER ARTIST WHO ARE NOT AS POPULAR AND OVERATED AS HER DO THAT IN COUPLE OF WEEKS.
RIHANNA STANS PLEASE GROW UP
Hey tia
@ SASAN
DONT GET MAD RIHANNA IS HAVING THE SUCCESS SHE DESERVES. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE NUMBERS IS WHAT COUNTS. THANKS BOO.

SHE WILL BE A MAIN CONTENDER FOR THE GRAMMYS NEXT YEAR. EVEN THE PRODUCER PREDICTS IT.
CASE CLOSED
B****, BYE!
@sasan
very true, i agree with you
Rihanna’s album sales are not bad but at the same time, it’s really nothing to brag about to the extent her stans does. I’m not even sure what is the point of bragging about SOMEONE ELSE’S success in the first place? lol
But anyway, i like Rude Boy i want to see it go #1.
@ JAY
YOU’RE AN IGNORANT FOOL
HER ALBUM IS #30 ON US ITUNES AND CLIMBING
RUDE BOY #23 ON US ITUNES AND CLIMBING
SINCE WHEN DID THE UNITED STATES NOT COUNT!
B****, BYE!!!!!
Stans are people that are obsessed with their favorite artist, that’s pretty simple to understand. However, what I don’t understand is why all the people that continually say they don’t like her, her album is flopping, that she’s a gimmick and not talented still manage to make time in their day to watch each and every single video, read each and every single article and comment on each and every single thread posted on this site. What’s the term to describe this kind of person?
For those of you who don’t like her, what’s the longest period of time you’ve gone ignoring a Rihanna thread? If you can’t even say one week maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to criticize Rihanna/her stans.
@ Nikki b**** that aint s***! Rih still aint go number 1! She aint NEVER GOING TO GO NUMBER ONE! Yall keep talking about how epic Rated R is…it aint doing well on the charts! You keep refering to the US ITUNES…but billboard..where is she on there?? lol I give you a minute while you go look. WHO IGNORANT NOW??? RIHANNA IS A FLOPPPP!
its easy to sell 2mil worldwide…cause you are talking about 100s of other countries! the US is one country and she cant even sell a mil here? HA! like I said FLOP. keep making excuses…stans..call me a hater all you want…but it is what it is…if you think that #22 on itunes is awsome..think again..Look who is number 2 on itunes…not rihanna. SO STFU!
@ JAY
IT’S OBVIOUS YOURE A F*****. Your life is pointless.
2 MILLION AND COUNTING B****.
READING IS FUNDAMENTAL.
GET OFF RIHANNA’S C***. IF YOU WERENT, YOU WOULDNT BE ON HER POST YOU F***** F**.
SORRY B****, HER ALBUM IS PLATINUM AND SELLING CONSISTENTLY, THATS WHY IT WAS CERTIFIED IN THE US, IGNORAMUS!!! U WOULDNT UNDERSTAND B/C YOURE ON WELFARE MOST LIKELY , WITH NO EDUCATION!!!!!!!!!!!
RUDE BOY IS #22 W.OUT AN OFFICIAL RELEASE. LMAO…..ITS RELEASED ON FEB 22. SO GO F*** YOURSELF!
YOURE NOW ON IGNORE! I CANT TAKE GIVING F*** ATTENTION!!!
IF ITS SO EASY TO SELL 2 MILLION WORLDWIDE, WHY ISNT 90% OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY NOT SELLING AT LEAST 1 MILLION WORLDWIDE??????
CHECK THE STATISTICS B****!
WHY IS THE MUSIC BUSINESS TANKING???????
WHY ARE THERE MORE DIGITAL SALES THAN ALBUM SALES FOR EVERY ARTIST????
YOURE A F****** IDIOT!!!! READ A BOOK!!!!!

BUT IMA LEAVE IT AT THIS RIH IS WHACK,YOU ARE WHACK AND SO IS YOUR MOMMA FOR GIVING BIRTH TO A WORTHLESS PIECE OF TRASHH…BYE BITCHHHHH!
@Sasan…Rihanna went after Tiffany Evans..
Tiffany made a statement referring to russian roulette, how that song is bout devil worshipers. never did she mention Rihanna’s name on her statement. keep in mind Neyo wrote russian roulette, not rihanna.
than Rihanna went on a radio show, when they asked her bout the comment tiffany made bout russian roulette, she stated,,”I dont know that girl, she doesnt know me like that, I dont know why she mentioning my name”…
the stans went crazy dissing tiffany, calling her all type of names..hater
and yet here they r doing the same thing
@Ms. CLaY. u aint never lied.booboo..lol
I’m not mad Rihanna making 100k just for sitting her a** in the front row..or for wearing the designer clothings. the bish got to get paid somehow. her album not selling. ..what pisses me off is that the stans think its bragging getting paid more for wearing fashion, than gettin money for being a singer..
stans it doesnt mater how many time yall sit here a write shes number 13 in mexico, shes number 36 in japan, she sold 22 k this week…RATED R FLOPPED.
am sorry stans with Rihanna status, she should have sold at least a mil or 2 in the us. the album being out for 3 months. and so far she not even close to pulling 600k in the us alone.thats a fact.
I’m sorry stans Def Jam bought some of the cds that were sold, in the u.s or paid somebody to say it went gold…cause when u really break it down..she didnt even go gold in the U.S.
she went gold, platinum in every other countries, but here.
@NICKY..its all nice and dandy that a legend like SADE whos pullink 500 k, admires Rihanna and all that, but wheres rihanna’s 500k at?
@ dddd
B**** bye!
@ Jay and Free
im sorry did yall say something????? all i read from your comments was BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH . Broken english.
HATERS and F***’ comments will not be addressed!!!!
keep telling yourselves rihanna flopped, because she’ll be laughing all the way to the bank. I guess if you say it enough it just might be true. You guys wonder why stans are posting up the facts. Because even when her career is speaking for itself and the numbers are clearly saying she’s doing well, you guys still come on here and lie about her saying she’s flopping , and rated r is not doing well. just because you want to. This type of misleading information by haters, needs to be corrected with the facts, so if the facts are being posted, why you all mad about it. It is what it is. you guys keep pointing out the people who are supposedly doing better than rihanna, but you guys fail to mention the ones who would like to be in rihanna’s position and have the numbers she’s bringing in. Some people aren’t even seeing those numbers.
OKAY LET ME CORRECT SOME OF YOU PATHETIC A** R**** FANS IF YALL ARE REALLY THAT HYPED ABOUT HER ALBUM SALES PLEASE DONT BE BECAUSE SUSAN BOYLE DOMINATED THE CHARTS OH BUT NOBODY IS GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE SHE ISNT A MODEL-MANUFACTURED ROBOT EVEN SADE WENT GOLD WITHOUT NO PROMO AND BEEN GONE FOR 10 YEARS SO YALL STANS NEED TO STOP MY GIRL BEYONCE IS STILL KILLIN THE CHARTS EVER SINCE LAST YEAR SO PLEASE STOP HYPING UP THIS PROGRAMMED-MODEL ROBOT!!!!!!!!!!
@free who the hell cares about the US. The US did not make rihanna’s career. SHe always was an international star, so in case you didn’t notice, she is not banking on the US to keep her afloat. Rihanna is the star that she is today, because of the international countries believing in her. She got her first #1 album in Canada, and subsequent ones in various European countries. SO she have always done well, even without the biggest support from the US. When rihanna first came out, people in the US didn’t quite get where she was going musically, so they slept on her, while other countries welcomed her with open arms, and look at where she is today.
what numbers are saying shes doing well? what s*** are we so call HATERS making up?
yea alot of real singers out hates the fact that rihanna is getting more press than them..
hell I would be mad too..shoo.u mean to tell me some bish with no singing ability is selling more than me, cause shes showing her naked a** in every magazine, that say spread them.
her numbers are WEAK period.point blank, I dont give a fug bout the other artist that rihanna is doin better than..hell i give a fugg bout the other artist we never heard of, or the ones that r not showing their a**, wos killing rihannas numbers.
Suzan boyle killed rihanna’s numbers, she step on it, s*** on it and everything. rihanna is now pulling numbers suzan boyle pulled the first week her album dropped. 2 weeks later she sold 2 mil world wide..
MEANWHILE, RATED R dropped off the charts. went down 70% in sales in the second week.
yea rihanna is the s***… were the hater for stating the facts…
Let me get this straight…before RaTED R drooped the stans were claiming, shes going to shut down all the haters, she going to go gold or platinum on her first week.
when that didnt happen, O nobody buys cds anymore, shes number 1 in Itunes. than when susan boyle sold 2mil in less than 3 weeks, “who the hell is susan boyle, she doesnt count, her old white pale ass needs to sit down.
now the excuse is Rihanna isnt popular in the U.S..oh please with the excuses stans..
if she isnt popular in the U.S. as other countries, riddle me this batman, why 75 % her promotion for RATED R happened in the U.S.?
I would think since we Americans dont know what to do with rihanna, she wouldnt promote to us more, instead of promothing herself to the other countries shes famous in.
@free why you so upset about rihanna’s status. The point is you are hating and blowing a gasket, and rihanna will still be progressing. What numbers say she’s doing well, the ones where she is now double platinum, but if we take it from what you haters say, she is not selling at all. You guys try to make it seem like rihanna is not selling, and doing well. Of course you don’t care about the ones who are not doing as good as rihanna, and stop saying its because they are not showing skin, because every young artist in the industry is showing skin, and the ones who aren’t just don’t have the body for it, so they have no choice but to keep it covered. and you know darn well that as soon as anyone of them lose some weight, the first thing they do is run to s** up their image. Like they say if you got it flaunt it, because you’re only going to have that hot s*** body for a certain period of time. You guys need to realize that if all it took to be an artist was singing ability, everyone in the church choirs would have been a star. IT takes more than that, you have to have the whole package, the looks, physique, the ability to sell in various markets, and the ability to put out good music. That is what rihanna has along with all the other ones who are on top right now. Why you mad at her success. Is it just killing you. Jealousy and envy is a biatch. Rihanna is blessed and she is reaping what is her destiny to have. So keep on hating haters.

I REALLY DONT GET YOUR COMMENT BCUZ WHEN RIHANNA CAME OUT SHE WAS POP?! YEA HER SONGS HAD DANCEHALL INFLUENCES BUT SO DOES SONGS OFF THE LAST THREE ALBUMS AS WELL. SHE DIDNT DROP ANYTHING…..SHE ALSO HAD ROCK INSPIRED SONGS ON HER FIRST 2 ALBUMS AS WELL. BUT RIHANNA HAS ALWAYS BEEN POP…
WOW! I CAN’T BELIEVE PEOPLE ACTUALLY THINK “RATED R” ALBUM SALES ARE A SUCCESS FOR RIHANNA AND THE WAY HER SINGLES ARE PERFORMING ON THE CHARTS AS WELL. SMH.
I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH THE GUY WRITING THIS UP….RIHANNA IS A GOOD PERFORMER IN MY OPINION…SHE HAS THE APPEAL TO PERFORM ANYWHERE FOR ANY GENRE…SHE COULD GO TO A ROCK FESTIVAL AND SHUT IT DOWN….
@MS.CLAY…
IS DEF NOT BAD SINCE ITS HER FASTES SELLING ALBUM (ALREADY PLATINUM ON MULTIPLE CHARTS)…HAS CHARTED ON A TON OF CHARTS….SINGLES AS WELL AND THE CRITICS GAVE IT PRETTY AMAZING REVIEWS…
I MEAN I THINK A.KEYS ALBUM IS DOING PRETTY WELL AND IT DOESNT EVEN MATCH UP TO THE SUCCESS OF RATED R….
NOW CB ALBUM MAY BE THE DEF OF A PRETTY BAD FLOP..OR CIARA FANTASY RIDE.
Hey , Did Jay or Free say something yall?????????
The Ebonics and Spelling mistakes just come out looking like BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Have no time to read essays from losers.
Can someone help me out????
ANYWAY, rihanna made top 20 on itunes with Rude Boy. Steady going up.
20Million Radio Impressions , increasing at 1.5-2Milliion average a day. Thats insane!!!!
Was released to radio 10 days approx ago!
why even address the haters… truth is that they’re hatred is rooted in their jealousy of the incredible RIHANNA. Rude Boy is number 19 on iTunes right now with little radio play yet and Rated R is platinum and is climbing the charts again.
But you can’t argue with these people. I mean, its one thing typing positively about an artist online b/c its authentic. but when you hate on an artist, it is phony as sh*t b/c its a display of your interest in and intrigue of the artist. you deep down inside have a fascination and care for the artist and that’s why it hurts you so much to see any posts on them.
HATERS ARE ANY ARTISTS BIGGEST STANS… real talk
@ DION-ISH
YEAH RATED R IS HER FASTEST SELLING ALBUM, BUT THAT DOESN’T MAKE IT A GREAT SUCCESS! I’M SORRY FOR SOMEONE AS FAMOUS AS HER, SHE SHOULD BE SELLING WWAAAAAAAYYYY MORE!! AND PLATINUM IN OTHER COUNTRIES SOMETIMES ONLY MEANS 20,000 ALBUMS SOLD SOOOOO…..
AND PLEASE DON’T COME WITH WHAT THE CRITICS SAY CUZ THOSE ARE JUST OPINIONS, A CRITIC COULD BE A STAN AS WELL SO I NEVER GO BY WHAT CRITICS SAY AND ALSO JUST BECAUSE IT WAS REVIEWED WELL THAT DOESN’T MEAN IT IS A SUCCESS. I’LL TAKE A PHENOMENAL SELLING ALBUM OVER MULTIPLE “PRETTY AMAZING” REVIEWS. SORRY.
AND ALICIA’S ALBUM IS DOING JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN RIHANNA’S ALBUM AND IT WAS RELEASED TWO AND HALF WEEKS AFTER HERS.
@SIP SOME HATERADE
OKAY, I DESPISE THE WORD HATER AND THE PEOPLE WHO USE IT! IT IS SOOOOO PLAYED OUT!!! GOOD GRACIOUS! IT’S 2010 AND PEOPLE STILL CALLING PEOPLE HATERS AND TELLING PEOPLE TO SIP HATERADE! GEEZ! STEP AWAY FROM THE ’90’S! SMH. AND JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN’T LIKE AN ARTIST OR HAS THEIR OPINIONS ABOUT AN ARTIST DOESN’T MAKE THEM A HATER NOR DOES IT MEAN THAT THEIR UNDERCOVER FANS/STANS. I GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE NO MATTER WHO THE ARTIST IS! YOU’RE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE, JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN’T LIKE AN ARTIST OR AS YOU SAY HATE ON AN ARTIST IT IS PHONY AND DISPLAYS INTEREST IN THE ARTIST???? WTF???? I COMMENT IF RIHANNA IS BAD OR GOOD, I COMMENT IS GAGA IS BAD OR GOOD, I COMMENT IF BEY IS BAD OR GOOD, I COMMENT IF ALICIA IS BAD OR GOOD. SO JUST CUZ SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING BAD ABOUT AN ARTIST DOESN’T MAKE THEM A HATER NOR DOES IT MAKE IT PHONY! SMH.
@MS.CLAY..thank you, the stans are in so much denial that any and everything that people say bout rihanna thats not positive, it automatically means u a b****, h**, s***, my favorite, HATER.
am not even going to mention rihanna’s singing abilities, cause there are worst singers out there. but when it comes to album sells, come on now..Its weak. shes suppose to be 1 of the baddest b around, and yet shes pulling sorry ass numbers.
key word FAMOUS..shes way famous than alot of the other artist out there whos pullin 400k, 600k…
well since the stans like to bring down numbers for us..lets break down number.
Britney Spearks sold 500k first week
susan boyle 600k
beyonce.450 k
mary j 400 k
sade 500 k(in u.s alone)
alicia keys 400k
adamn lambert 198k
hell u telling me u got beat by an american idol guy, thats started.
rihanna cant even bring in britney spears numbers..they both are pop music.
@ Ms. Clay
first of all, i never directly addressed you or anyone in particular so taking offense to what i wrote obviously means it resonates with you.
secondly, it does show that the person has an interest in the artist. if you don’t like the artist, you can simply skip the post and move on to the next one. But you consciously chose to provide your input. There’s nothing wrong with that and i never said there was, but don’t deny that you don’t take delight in seeing a post about Rihanna or have interest in her since you feel compelled to write about her.
thirdly, i find it interesting that anything positive about rihanna’s album is written off as nothing. if she’s goes platinum in a country like Ireland, 20,000 albums sold is a lot in relation to the size of the country, but nope, that doesn’t count. She gets rave reviews, but nope that doesn’t count. She’s certified platinum in the US but nope that doesnt count. Her first two songs were top 10 hits even though they clearly weren’t pop radio friendly, but not a big deal, right? rude boy is top 20 in US itunes (THE BIGGEST DETERMINER OF BILLBOARD CHARTS) but nope doesn’t count. there’s no point in having any logical conversation when anything positive she’s done is somehow nothing special.
The sad thing is if were comparing album sales TAYLOR SWIFT and SUSAN BOYLE are slaying Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Beyonce, MJB, Adam Lambert, Gaga, etc. But nope that doesn’t count now does it?
AND I’M SORRY BUT I CAN’T HELP BUT THINK THAT THE COMMENT MADE ABOUT “WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT THE U.S.?” IS COMPLETE BULL!!! I HONESTLY LAUGHED SO FREAKING HARD! OMGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY, [ANY] ARTIST ON [ANY] RECORD LABEL CARES ABOUT THE U.S. THE MOST!!!!! IF NOONE CARES ABOUT THE U.S. THEN WHY DID RIHANNA DO THE MOST PROMOTION HERE IN THE U.S. PRIOR TO HER ALBUM RELEASE??? AND I AGREE RIHANNA IS AN INTERNATIONAL STAR, HOWEVER, THE U.S. IS IMPORTANT TO INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS AS WELL. THAT’S WHY MOST ARTIST WHO ARE FROM THE U.K. AND COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD TRY THEIR DAMNDEST TO RELEASE THEIR MUSIC/ALBUMS IN THE U.S. CUZ IT’S WHERE THE MOST MONEY IS!!!!! DUH!!! SHE DIDN’T DO TERRIBLE IN THE U.S., BUT FOR RIHANNA, 600,000 + IN ABOUT 3 MONTHS IS NOT A SUCCESS!!!
IN ADDITION, MOST ARTISTS WHO ARE SUCCESSFUL SELL A GREAT AMOUNT OF THEIR ALBUMS IN THE U.S. IF AN ARTIST IS VERY SUCCESSFUL IN THE U.S. THEN HONESTLY WHAT HAPPENS IN THE REST OF THE WORLD DOESN’T MATTER AS MUCH. I.E. ALICIA KEYS WHO IS BY NO MEANS AS INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN AS RIHANNA, BUT HER ALBUM SOLD 400,000 IN THE FIRST WEEK (WHICH IS CURRENTLY PLATINUM) AND HER ALBUM WAS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN THE U.S…..I’M SORRY BUT IF I WERE A RECORD COMPANY EXEC OR WHATEVER I WOULD RATHER HAVE SOMEONE LIKE ALICIA ON MY RECORD LABEL THAN SOMEONE LIKE RIHANNA. BUT WHATEVS.
Rihanna already said she didn’t care about album sales, this album came from her heart.. It expressed all the things she was going through..to her it was her masterpeice
people like @free just never want to give Rihanna credit in any way shape or form…and that’s truly sad..
Rihanna is doing what she loves, and weather or not you like it is your choice.
But to continually come on Rihanna posts and say ‘i don’t understand how this girl can make it, she can’t dance, her album I’d floping, she’s let go of her roots, she’s a gimmick..
Rihanna was discovered and made famous because of some type of talent…talent which many can’t see or just don’t want to see..
If Rihanna couldn’t sing…she would be a model right now..it’s not just about a pretty face
there’s lots of beautiful girls in barbados…but they weren’t noticed for nothing..
Do you think jay z signed Rihanna because she was beautiful??? And because she couldn’t do anything besides smile at the camera???
What sense does that make????
Rihanna can carry a tune…she can put on a show that’s liked based on specific prefeences
you don’t have to like Rihanna
you don’t have to listen to her..
But for heavens sake…can the negative EVER be put on a backburner???
There’s people like Justin beiber who can’t sing a LICK! Justin bebier can’t perform! Let alone dance, he can’t even sing!!!
At the end of the day..you either like Rihanna or you don’t..but she’s not a gimmick, she never will be, and for people saying what they say is the truth..I’ll definitly be praying for you
@SIP SOME HATERADE
I REPLIED TO YOUR COMMENT BECAUSE FIRST OFF, I THINK THE WORD HATER SHOULD BE RETIRED NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT’S OLD AS HELL BUT ALSO BECAUSE IT’S USED OUT OF CONTEXT. (JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN’T LIKE AN ARTIST IT MAKES THEM A HATER)
ALSO THIS IS A BLOG!!!! I REPEAT, THIS IS A BLOG. THEREFORE, REGARDLESS IF IT INTEREST ME OR NOT I COMMENT ON ABOUT %90 OF THE POSTS ON THIS SITE! AND REGARDLESS IF IT’S NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE I CAN DO SO BECUZ GUESS WHAT???? IIIITTTTSSSSS AAAAAAAAAA BBBBLLLLLOOOGGGGGG!!!!!! GEEZ!
AND YEAH SOME POSITIVE THINGS ARE RELATED TO RIHANNA’S ALBUM (LIKE THE FACT THAT I THINK IT’S A GOOD ALBUM AND IT’S THE BEST ONE SHE’S PUT OUT SO FAR), HOWEVER, MY POINT WAS THAT HER ALBUM ISN’T A SUCCESS. SO BRINGING UP CRITICS’ REVIEWS, OR THE FACT THAT I WOULD RATHER BE PLATINUM IN A [WEALTHY AND HEAVILY POPULATED] COUNTRY THAN IN IRELAND, OR THE FACT THAT A PLATINUM CERITIFICATION DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING BECAUSE THAT ONLY MEANS THE UNITS THAT WERE SHIPPED, OR EVEN THE FACT THAT HER FIRST TWO SINGLES ONLY WENT TOP 10 WHEN STANS WERE SOOOO ADAMANT ABOUT ALL HER SINGLES BEING [NUMBER ONE], NOT JUST TOP 10, NONE OF THIS MEANS VERY MUCH WHEN YOU’RE AS FAMOUS AS HER! YES, ALL OF THOSE POSITIVE THINGS ARE GOOD FOR HER BUT TO ME IT’S NOT SUCCESSFUL FOR SOMEONE OF HER CALIBER!
AND YEAH ALL THOSE ARTISTS THAT YOU NAMED DIDN’T SELL AS MUCH AS TAYLOR OR SUSAN BUT THEY SOLD/SELLING MORE THAN RIHANNA, SOOOOOOOO…..YEAH!
@ FREE
ADAM LAMBERT SOLD MORE THAN HER BUT WHERE IS HIS ALBUM NOW???
SHE’S OUTSOLD HIM BY ALOT
HIS ALBUM HASNT EVEN SOLD 100K OVERSEAS. B**** SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!
WHY MUST YOU PROVE THAT IGNORANCE PERSISTS ON BLOGS??? WHY MUST YOU PROVE WHY WHITES THINKS PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE PIECES OF S***?????
YOUR ILLOGICAL THINKING IS HORRID
I’M BUSINESS AND LAW SCHOOL BOUND SO I KNOW WHAT THE HELL IM TALKIN ABOUT.
You free , ms clay and blasian have SERIOUS problems structuring a SOUND ARGUMENT. READ A BOOK PLEASE!!!
I’M SORRY@NICKY BUT WHAT HAVE I SAID THAT WASN’T SOUND?
oh ok so haters is 90s jargon but stans is applicable today..right. madonna came out with her album “Bedtime Stories” in the early 1990s, after she dominated the music scene for the better part of the 1980s. There was no artist bigger than Madonna at the time, but she decided that rather than release a pop record, which the public would have eaten up, she created an album that was more introspective and deep than commercial. It was controversial and conceptually/musically different from anything she had ever done. It never got to number one and didn’t sell well, but it stayed true to the message that the artist wanted to convey. Rihanna did the same thing. No song (except for Rude Boy) is really commercial on her album and the music is very different from Good Girl Gone Bad. I have no doubt that if Rihanna had come out with a pop-friendly album with a lead single that was similar to Umbrella, the song would have probably went to number 1 and her album probably would’ve went to #2 (there’s no denying she would never have been able to overtake Susan boyle). But she didn’t and thus, if sales don’t reach the level that GGGB reached, but still are high enough only 3 months into the albums release to go platinum, than i find it hard to believe that people would call it a failure.
but anyways were never gonna agree so it’s just best to agree to disagree. g’night y’all!!
@SIP SOME HATERADE
I GET WHERE YOU’RE COMING FROM, HOWEVER, DEF JAM HAS SPENT SOOOOOO MUCH MONEY ON HER PROMOTION AND PRODUCTION TO WHERE I’M SURE THEY WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE HAD WAAYYYY MORE ALBUM SALES THAN SHE CURRENTLY HAS. RECORD LABELS LIKE DEF JAM DON’T TAKE AS MANY CHANCES ON ARTISTS LIKE OTHERS DO, THEY ARE 100% IN IT FOR THE PROFIT/MONEY. ALSO MADONNA IS A VERY VERY VERY ARTISTIC ARTIST SO I WOULD EXPECT HER TO NOT CARE ABOUT ALBUM SALES OR SUCCESS FOR THAT MATTER. AND FOR SOMEONE LIKE RIHANNA TO NOT REACH WHAT WAS EXPECTED IS A DISAPPOINTMENT I THINK TO HER, HER [SANE] FANS, AND OF COURSE HER RECORD LABEL WHO INVESTED ALOT OF THEIR MONEY. SO THAT’S ALL.
OH AND STANS CAME FROM THE SONG “STAN” WHICH WAS RELEASED IN THIS PAST DECADE AND IT IS AT LEAST USED IN THE CORRECT CONTEXT UNLIKE HATER.
THAT IS ALL! GOOD NIGHT!
@ nikki Like I said b**** you are weak…kill your self.
@ms clay I’m sorry, but what your saying isn’t justified
Rihanna already said that she dist care about album sales, or if her singles went to number one
she made this album because she needed to express the feelings that she was holding within
therefore her ‘sane’ fans can support the fact that not everyone will not like the album and support her anyhow, because we love her
Rihanna isn’t dissapointed with anything. She’s happy..she’s not looking to reach the success of gggb.. She’s doing what she loves..she dosent care about about her songs being number one..
In fact, I don’t really care for it either….I request for her..but I would still enjoy her music, weather it’s number one or not..
A real Stan would appreciate that
and if you knew that beforehand..maybe you could appreciate it to
why does it bother some of you haters, yes the word is pretty much relevant, when you talk like one, and act like one, then you are one. HATERS. Definition: someone who is envious and Jealous who spends all their time trying to make you look small. They are very negative people, to say the least, nothing is ever good. You know when you have made your mark, you will always attract some haters. Rihanna has made her mark, that’s why she attract negative bad wishers. If she wasn’t someone who is getting too large, no one would even care or write anything about her, but since she is looked upon by so many in the world, haters just want to see her fall. It would just make their day. But sorry it ain’t gonna happen. WHy is rihanna’s so called performance in the US bothering you guys so much. No matter what rihanna does, even if she was #1 in the US, you guys would go out and say. Oh that’s nothing, she should have been number 1 in Antartica. All rihanna needs to do is carry on, because the US did not get her to the level she is today. She has never had a number 1 album in the US, but she is still a force, one of the most recognized stars out of the Western Hemisphere, so who cares about the US. She has already garnered #1 albums all across the globe. I doubt def jam is disappointed in rihanna, because she is still making tons of money for them. She is definitely still one of their most bankable stars. So why should it bother you haters, you are not def jam, and its not your money their spending, so if they want to promote rihanna till die kingdom come let them. Now suddenly rihanna is this huge star, when all along you guys try to relegate her to being some nobody. NOw for a star of her caliber she should be doing this that or the other. Please you guys will never be satisfied with nothing rihanna does.
*correction- Thy kingdom come
@NICKY…I’m the reason why white people think people like me is a piece of s***?
FAILED try again honey..
because calling me a B****, A H**, AND A PIECE OF S*** is why white people dont like ghetto ass, ignorant, people like u..dont confused me with ur hood rat self honey.
no where in my comments did u see me disrespect rihanna, I just stated alot of facts, that ur hoodrat ghetto self couldnt comprehend.
its people like you who give educated people like me a bad name. because u always feel the need to call people out of their name to prove a point. a point thats not even relevant.
@RAYCHEL..I dont ever want to give rihanna credit for anything?..now I know u either cant read, or just a like to start s*** with people.
I was one of the so called HATERS, that said RUDE BOY video was good, that it was one of the best video she had for Rated R. Hell I was defending her dancing abilities too…I also was one of the so called HATERS who kept telling other people, why call her a b**** or a h**, or ugly, they dont know her like that.
the only time i respond to the stans is when they come at me with the name calling.
i dont ever go at the stans for liking rihanna. i dont give a fug. but dont come at me with fake facts and making up s***, just to prove a stupid point.
whether the stans like it or not, Rihanna’s numbers are speaking for itself, LOUND AND CLEAR. SHE FLOPPED PERIOD. for other people it might not be a flop..but for rihanna status..sorry stans RATED R FLOPPED.
YASS FREE! Tell em girl! lol
@free yet you still are up here saying rihanna flopped??? gtho of here im done with you…its nice you appreciated rude boy but your opinion dosent matter… not to me or anyone…
@RACHEL. if my opinion doesnt matter to u and anyone, than riddle me this batman, y the fugg u always on my c***?
when ever i’m in a comment section I see ur comments, guess what!!!!! I read it and keep it moving, I only acknowledge ur name WHEN U COME at ME WITH UR CRYING and BITCHING bout me being not kissing rihanna flop ass..YES i SAID FLOPPED…
but u did answer my question though, u like to start s*** with people..
RAYCHEL get a different hobby beside ridding on my c*** 24 hours a day..
@RAYCHEL
YOU SAY ALL OF THAT AS IF YOU TALK TO RIHANNA ON A DAILY BASIS! I TRULY WANT TO KNOW WHEN HAS SHE EVER SAID SHE DIDN’T CARE ABOUT ALBUM SALES OR THAT IT DOESN’T MATTER IF HER SALES ARE NUMBER ONE?? YEAH I KNOW THAT THIS ALBUM WAS SOMEWHAT AN EXPRESSION OF HER FEELINGS BUT THAT DOESN’T JUSTIFY REASONS HER ALBUM DIDN’T SELL THAT WELL.
@NEWSFLASH
I’M SORRY SWEETY BUT THAT DEFINITION OF HATERS THAT YOU JUST MADE UP IN YOUR MIND IS NOT THE REAL DEFINITION OF A HATER! YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST TRIED A LITTLE HARDER TO MAKE UP A DEFINITION THAT WASN’T SPECIFICALLY TOWARDS THE PEOPLE WHO DON’T LIKE RIHANNA! SMH.
AND WHEN RIHANNA FIRST CAME OUT BEFORE SHE GOT ALL “LARGE” AS YOU SAY, SHE STILL DIDN’T HAVE ANY TALENT TO ME! SO YOU SAYING IF SHE WASN’T SO “LARGE” NO ONE WOULD SAY ANYTHING IS JUST UNTRUE IN MY CASE CUZ HAD SHE BEEN PERFORMING AS HORRIBLE AS SHE DOES I WOULD STILL SAY SHE SOUNDS TERRIBLE OR IF HER ALBUM DIDN’T SELL WELL I WOULD STILL SAY THAT HER ALBUM ISN’T A SUCCESS.
AND HER PERFORMANCE IN THE U.S. ISN’T BOTHERING ME SWEETY! IF ANYTHING IT SHOULD BE BOTHERING RIHANNA, HER RECORD LABEL, AND DELUSIONAL STANS WHO THINK THAT’S SUCCESS AND WHO WERE BRAGGING ABOUT HOW IT WOULD “SLAY” EVERYWHERE! AND IF SHE DID GO NUMBER ONE IN THE U.S. AND SELL SUCCESSFUL I WOULDN’T HAVE ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT SHE STILL HAS NO TALENT. AND I SERIOUSLY HAD TO LAUGH ABOUT DEF JAM NOT BEING DISAPPOINTED IN RIHANNA’S SALES WHEN IN ACTUALITY THAT’S THEIR GOAL, MAKING MONEY/PROFIT!!!! SO STOP SAYING WHO CARES ABOUT THE U.S. CUZ IF SHE HAD BEEN NUMBER ONE IN THE U.S. AND SUCCESSFULLY SELLING ALL YOU STANS WOULD BE “OH YEAH RIHANNA ‘SLAYED’ IN THE U.S.” YOU GUYS WOULDN’T SHUT UP ABOUT IT, BUT NOW THAT SHE ISN’T DOING SO WELL IN THE U.S. YOU GUYS WANNA SAY ” OH WHO CARES ABOUT THE U.S” PLEASE!! COMPLETE BULL! CUZ ANY REAL ARTIST WOULD HAVE THE U.S. AS THEIR FIRST PRIORITY!!! PERIOD!!!
AND MAYBE YOU HAVE ME CONFUSED WITH SOMEONE ELSE, CUZ I HAVE NEVER EVER SAID THAT RIHANNA WAS A NOBODY! I HAVE ALWAYS SAID THAT RIHANNA IS EXTREMELY FAMOUS AND INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN MORE THAN MOST ARTISTS CURRENTLY. AND I’VE ACTUALLY CONDEMNED THE FACT THAT SHE’S SO FAMOUS BECAUSE OF HER LACK OF TALENT! I’VE SAID IN THE PAST THAT SHE’S ABSOLUTELY TOO FAMOUS FOR NOTHING BECAUSE SHE HAS NO TALENT JUST LOOKS. SOOOOOO………THAT WASN’T ME SWEETY! SORRY.
@ ms. clay all you did was confirm your hater status, cause I didn’t call your name, but since you stepped up, then it is what it is. You claim we her stans are obsessed, yet you seem to be the one who need your daily rihanna fix. You check her post constantly two days after it originally posted just to see what people are saying. WHy are you pressed? It makes sense for us to be on this post,, because we are fans, and like reading up about our girl rihanna, but what’s your reason again? Face the facts, the same way you claim you don’t care what critics say, because its just opinions, maybe you should be smart enough to know that that also apply to you. You think we should really care about what you think because its only an opinion, just that. And you sound so ridiculous saying her stans keep saying she slayed. Hello we are still saying it, because we still think she is doing good. You are the one arguing otherwise. TO us rihanna is doing good, she is the bomb, the star, and she is selling well. So what are you saying? I am saying who cares about the US, because as you can see, even without her having a number one album in the US she is still doing big things, still bringing in the hits, endorsements, book deals, and making us proud. Her number one US status is only bothering one person, and that’s you. I say what the hell I want, so if I say who cares about the US what is it to you? You always seem to be the one running up in here acting like you can check somebody and acting like you can change their mind. writing a whole essay on your favorite topic rihanna, yet you can’t stand her. Please with that crap.

‘Brick-by-brick’ : truth NOW exposed – as lies; we JUST-NOW ‘remove-the-covers’ and ‘expose’ the untruth(s) that IS ‘Brand-Rihanna!’ CoverGirl now realizes this, this is why now, we have PAID bloggers such as ‘Raychel’, ‘Bodacious’ and the several-others who, ONLY-NOW, appear to ONLY convince us of the many-and-wondrous talents of one Robyn Rihanna Fenty. But, continue to -“con” us, you won’t; and CoverGirl is only the-first “Column of Empire-Rihanna to fall”. The “taring” of Rihanna as “TOXIC” is next; not-unlike: “Rihanna was Aggressor and Instigator on Feb 8th 2009.”
Matt Kemp should now be able to tell you, as his “stock”, since ‘associated’ with Rihanna, has SHARPLY-DECLINED. My ‘life’s-work’ is NOW clear to me: “help-facilitate”, “contribute-to” and “luxuriate-in” the revealing-of the “real-Rihanna!” … The revealing-of, and thus ‘branding-of Jay Z,’ will THEN be soon-to-follow! — Stay tuned – much work to do; much fun to be had!!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!!
@NEWSFLASH
LMMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! AND YOU PROVE THAT STANS ALWAYS RESULT TO RUNNING STATEMENTS ABOUT [HATERATION]….LIKE SAYING “WHY DO U CARE ABOUT HER” “WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT HER SALES” “WHY ARE U SO PRESSED” “WHY DO COME TO A RIHANNA POST” AND SO ON AND SO FORTH! THESE ARE STATEMENTS THAT ALL STANS RESULT TO WHEN SOMEONE MENTIONS THE TRUTH ABOUT RIHANNA’S SUCCESS!!! LMMAOOO!!!!!!! IT IS SOOOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!! WOW! AND THEN YOU GUYS HAVE A MILLION EXCUSES ON WHY HER SALES AREN’T SUCCESSFUL SUCH AS…………….
“WELL SHE’S AN INTERNATIONAL STAR SO NO REASON TO SALE GREAT IN THE U.S.”
“SHE TOOK A RISK WITH THIS ALBUM AND DON’T EXPECT GREAT SALES”
“WHO CARES ABOUT THE U.S.?”
“SHE SAID SHE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT SALES”
“SHE HAS NEVER DONE THAT GOOD IN THE U.S.”
“WELL IN THE FANS/STANS EYES SHE DID VERY GOOD”
AND SO ON………..
HOW IDIOTIC!!!!!
AND I’M NOT BOTHERED BY HER LACK OF SUCCESS! IT’S AMUSING ACTUALLY, AND IT FURTHER PROVES HOW UNSTABLE YOU FANS/STANS ARE BECAUSE YOU CONSTANTLY DEFEND HER LACK OF SUCCESS!
ANYWAYS………….
I’M STILL LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY!!!!!
