The video for Rihanna’s latest single ‘Rude Boy’ premiered literally moments ago. Check it out above…
Directed by Melina, the clip, if I’m to be entirely honest, is both a hit and miss affair. Unfortunately, for the Bajan model, it’s more the latter. Getting the ‘good’ out of the way first, the Pop Art look and feel of the video works exceptionally well, and Ms. Fenty certainly gives what is perhaps her most animated performance in any of her videos yet. Despite this, the vid still manages to be distinctly underwhelming. The 21 year old promised much in the way of choreography for the up-tempo cut, yet served up little more than stiff whining and the usual model-esque poses. Overall, not a bad effort, simply one which leaves much to be desired. Oh RiRi….

Hot video, song outdated

She f****** OWNED!!!! Dancing care free!!!!!! go seXXXy lady
LOL HERE COME THAT SICK PEOPLE..MAD? LOL RIHANNA REIGHN JUST WONT LET UP!!!!!
i am not a rihanna fan but that video was FIRE! she went back to her roots with the concept and the dancing! LOVED IT!
OH 1 MORE THING… I THINK IT’S TIGHT HOW RIHANNA WENT BACK TO BOTH HER “DANCE HALL” ROOTS, AND SHE PUT “AFRICAN” FLAVOR IN THIS VIDEO. AND AGAIN… THE GIRL CAN MOVE ON ME ANY DAY:)
That was boring as hell!!!! She was just wining all over the place…and coming from a person from the Caribbean, it just looked like a woman wining for Carnival or something and singing along to the song…no dance routine or anything…this was my fav song off her album, which I bought…I’m freakin disappointed…but can’t say I’m surprised.
please believe this video will be number 1 on 106 and park!!
THIS VIDEO LOOKS LIKE SOLANGE’S VIDEO KITTY KAT AND VIDEO PHONE ALL IN ONE
BUT MORE LIKE SOLANGE VID.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8f895h6a-E
LIKE a lot
Colorful & the right play for such a fun song
You can HATE as much as you want, but she knows how to market herself and DefJam is definitely showing her love with big budget vids.
I was expectin sum covergirl mess but Rihanna actually moved! I was shocked lol. I think she took a risk with all the colors but she impressed me with the dancing and giving me more then her usual poses. But the colors were at times overwhelming and it does seem like its been done before. Even so, she did copy successfully. I still dont like the song tho, it’ll have to grow on me but the rest didnt so…
Ri u get a B-
@TIA YOU A HATER
JUST ADMIT THIS VIDEO SLAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEED!!!
MAD YALL LIL WHSIPERING FLOSP CANT DO IT LIKE RIHANNA
RIHANNA IS SHITTING ON EACH B**** IN THE GAME
Reminds me of I Decided.
WHERE THE BEY STANS, BRING THEM ON OVER HERE, I KNOW THEY GONNA TRY AND HATE ANYWAY! I JUST KNOW!
@Blasian Ur right…I Decided, the MIA video, Paper Planes I think, Kitty Kat and Video Phone…I liked the B&W part but it seemed VERY disjointed from the rest of the video…it was like, where the hell did this come from…it was like a completely different theme all together. I was REALLY hoping this video was gna b hot…this was her PERFECT opportunity to break out some choreo, but she decided to wine with no direction. SMH
TELEPHONE IS GOING TO S*** ON THIS VIDEO LOL
Nice song, nice vid. But, Melina should be very careful about what directing elements she repeats for whom. You can’t use elements from Solange and Beyonce videos and put them in a Rihanna video. It causes unnecessary criticism and deters from the art. I write this because she’s the only Black woman director working with any consistency. I would hate to see her Blacklisted by the top female artists in the business. Especially when women are running the table in the music biz right now.
Wish she had put some cute dancehall dancers in it like Ding Dong or Overmars. Still HAWT!! Loved it!!!
seriously this video is on FIRE…Rihanna is hot to death right now, the things i would do to this woman! LORD HELP ME!
video’s set to private.
@BLASIAN DAT AINT NOTHIN LIKE KITTY KATT!
#SHOOTURSELF
IT LOOKS LIKE SOLANGE’S VIDEO THE COLORS EVERYTHING
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8f895h6a-E

if she did american style choreography then she would not be Rihanna she would be beyonce …. I think she was great with her wining …. I think the song was translated perfectly…. and she is very HOTT.
Who needs peple jumping up and
This should be called THAT SOUR GRAPEJUICE
She did great
RIHANNA CANNOT PULL OF KITTY KAT IF SHE WANTED TO.
#WHOMAD (@ RAYCHEL)
Why would the Bey stans be mad??? We got 2 music videos from Bey, plus the b**** just won 6 grammys. *Kanye shrug*
if you askin, I ain’t mad at all! She looked cute, and I had nothing to say that’s negative.
#ThatRihannaReignIsGonLetUp
Some of you sound like your on drugs…
blaze
IT’S A FACT TELEPHONE IS GOING TO S*** ON THIS VIDEO. THIS REJECT OF SOLANGE’S VIDEO
Girl looked good…song, not so much
BTW THIS IS A DUMB AS SONG
“GIVE IT TO ME BABY LIKE BOOM BOOM BOOM” WTF!
rihanna’s desperate that BEyonce’s getting all the attention this week and she decides to leak that crap…FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!
wait till telephone and put it in a love song videos drop, rihanna gonna have a fit!
Okay none you guys link’s are working on viewing from my phone give me a damn link that works …
i Decided mixed with Kitty Cat #nothingspecial
Yes miss rihanna thats what happens I remember when you just came out I loved you so much because you were so hot and was representing for the caribbean, but you forget about your culture to fit into the ‘hollywood’ and American life style and now you have to fall right back on it. Thats what happens when you forget about where you are coming from.
Not impressed…
oh stans i full here in effect i see…idiots i tell u..
this has to be one of the worst vids i have ever seen..idk what is more hilarious, the cheap attempts at giving it the jamacian feel (due to the low budget) or the attempted dancehall dances by a girl who cant move an inch…what a disaster with a capital D….belongs on the trash can and will do nothing for the song!!! smh…
rihanna and def jam need to quit ro just find another stragegy coz this here is s***!!
If she’s gonna dance, she needs to learn how to dance. Idk what that was, but it wasnt dancing. She was just bent over.
Why are you crazy ass STANS putting Rihanna and Beyonce against eachother ? STOP !
Raychel…Calm the f*** down.
@Cold Case Love
Obviously you haven’t done a good job of buying, the thing has barely sold 500,000 copies in 4 months…so…yea…
Hunni, I do not WORSHIP NOR DO I HATE ANY ONE. But I CAN AND DO DANCE…and that my chick, is AN EPIC FAIL.
However, i do understand the stans….lmao!!!
its a cute vid. def one of her most animated and interesting but nothing to jump hoops over. still luv her tho. Way better than any of Beyonce’s last 6 videos, so I’ll give her a B-.
OMG!! Calm down LOL. I’m a huge RiRi stan but DAAAMN I really feel like Telephone will be the better video because its gonna have a great story and everything but i am still REALLY HAPPY with this video is grreeeeeeattt except forr that stupid ugly black and white section
IM NORMALLY NOT A HATER BUT TODAY IS A SPECIAL DAY.. WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT RIHANNA ANYWAYS.. ONE OF YOU STANS PLEASE ANSWER AND WHEN YOU CAN DESCRIBE WHY YOU LIKE HER WITHOUT USING THE WORD “FASHION” OR “VICTIM” I MAY OPEN MY MIND A LIL MORE TO HER. I HAVE NO PERSONAL FEELINGS TOWARDS HER BY THE WAY, BUT IM JUST NOT ATTRACTED TO HER ARTISTRY… MAYBE A FAN CAN HELP ME LIKE HER..?
I am the biggest rihanna fan and I am dissapointed. I was really excited to see this and my girl Rhi Rhi let me down . Hard was a much better video. Honestly I think this is the worst video she has ever done. I t looks really tacky and it reminds me too much of solange’s video.Anyways I still love you rihanna and I hope the song goes to number one on the shorts.
That “wahtchumacallit” grass mini-skirt doesn’t do ANYTHING for her! It makes her look like a middle-aged waitress waiting tables at a mid-west diner truck stop who, when it gets slow, goes outside and “turns-tricks!” …. She’s “not on the menu,” but truckers know she’s the “special of the day!”
If I wanna see some sort of “hip-skills” this NOW forces me to watch Shakira, Beyonce or Ciara. I was HONESTLY waiting for Rihanna to surprise me. She, being from the Caribbean, could ONLY have ‘held HER-OWN’, against the likes of Beyonce, but ALAS, disappointment! … But she does get an “B+” for effort … and THAT’S being generous!
Maybe next time she can do-better, yes?
Sure your a fan FF you didn’t even spell her name right… who the f*** is Rhi Rhi? It’s Rih Rih… RIHanna not RHIanna..
half you haters who wanna put her down will act like you “like” her to make it look worse, lmao. i think ur actually a fan but on the real tip lots of ppl pull that s***.
This video wasn’t that good…I think ppl like the colors because her previous videos have been dark but this was a miss on her part…the song is ok but the video seemed all over the place…*kanye shrugs*
steups that whining was poor smh. ppl like her i laugh at on carnival monday and tuesday.
she looked great, the colours and concepts were great but the dancing man… she looked hot but it was so stiff. i was underwhelmed this being my favourite song from her ever.
anyway one of her best videos so good job RIhanna.
Sam or whoever ur name is u R A F****** ASSHOLE……………………f off b**** she ain aiming to please u she aiming to please her fans……and by the look of things dem satisfied u dont count homeboy or girl watever the hell ya is
dont like it
It’s official..she can’t dance! How is she an island girl and can barely move her body? Another lackluster performance.
THEY GONNA FIND A MILLION REASONS TO HATE ON THIS CHICK, JUST GIVE IT UP, SHE’S DOING HER THING!
Not exactly original and nothing to shout about, as it’s nothing spectacular, just a lot of colours and a few graphic effects mixed up together, something T-pain would probably do a little better, the song is better then the last two, I give her that, I quite like the song, just don’t like her and I was expecting the video to turn out better then this but it didn’t.
Honestly. Solange did this already. This is almost a direct, replica of Solange’s “I Decided” video & i’m not hating. Look & see for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8f895h6a-E
I think a real video would have been better. This seems really laclustre compared to ‘Hard’. I don’t see this video helping the song on the charts.
@CURTIS
Once again I’m the biggest RHI RHI fan (I spell it how I want to whether you like it or not) You were not waiting in any damn long line like me to get a autograph from RHI RHI so don’t you dare tell me I’m not a fan, not because I’m a fan that does not mean I should like the video, everyone as different taste and thats just not mine and I’m still a RHI RHI fan so what.F*** YOU.
RHI RHI THIS IS HOW I SPELL HER NAME ON EVERY BLOG, ON YOUTUBE AND ON HER MYSPACE SO IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT THEN KISS MY ASS I AM NOT PLAYING SPELLING BEE WITH YOU
@dave it had a similar concept
but it was completely different
solange had a oldies concept
and had lots of colors but when I watched it compared to rude boy…
YOU KNOW WHAT?? WHO CARES!!!
I loved it more than solange’s!!! so to me, it just dosent even matter!!!
lol im not even a fan of riri’s but i see the haters are in full effect lol
Can A Stan answer my ?? what did she Slay.. All i saw was Color & stiff whining
NEXT!!!!!!!
WHAT VIDEO ARE U GUYS WATCHING…SHE DIDNT FREESTYLE DANCE I DO THAT SAME WHINE N THE CLUB..THERE WAS NO CONCEPT, JUST GREEN SCREEN, AND PPL TALK ABOUT BEYONCE AND HER GREEN SCREEN BUDGET…WELL WTF WAS THIS..DANCING..THAT WAS 4 MINUTES WASTED ON CHEAP COLORS AND STIFF SCENES…AS MUCH AS I LIKE RIRI, SHE DIDNT COME “HARD” AT ALL ON THIS..I’M NOT GONNA SAY SHE JOCKED “KITTY KAT”, IM GONNA SAY SHE SHOULDA BOOKED THE DIRECTOR OF KITTY KAT FOR HER DAMN VIDEO. CUZ THIS WAS NOT IT, LIKE 4REAL. THAT WAS UTTERLY HORRIBLE. I MEAN REALLY. HOW DO U COME FROM A VDEO LIKE “HARD” AND “R.R.”, WITH CONCEPT AS WELL AS FASHION..TOO CHEESY COMIC BOOK “M.I.A INSPIRED” WACK ASS VIDEO..AND YOU SAY YOU PITCH WITH A GRENEADE…WELL DAMNIT I CAN SEE THAT SOMEBODY MUSTA THRU IT BACK AT HER ASS.
@BigBruce — For REAL, that’s EXACTLY what I’m saying: “Rihanna is the ONLY Island woman that DON’T have ANY “HIP-SKILLS!” I’ve seen women from Scandinavia and Norway who can move, their hips, better than she can!
A “NO-hip-skills woman” = A VERY lonely and miserable woman; kinda describes Rihanna to-the-T,” don’t it? This video, kinda explains, CBreezy getting those “booty-call text messages!”
Why so much hate on this woman? Cute video!! It will be a hit
She doing something right, she the HOTTEST thing on this planet at the moment.
The song is hot, the video is VERY lackluster and she’s getting too comfortable.
And Rideordie & Clover, we can tell ur the same person cuz of ur gravatar. SMH.
yall have yall opinions
watch rude boy go #1 because of this
Yea it might get to number 1 Thou..but i like hard better
YASSSSSSSSSSS
WHERE THAT HATERS AT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HERE IS XYZ!!
WHATEVER IM GONE, IM GONE.
the girls always talkin that ish
she slayedddddddddd
to the gods!
hey fellow rihanna daily fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This video is nice. I would like to ask the rihanna fans a question, why is it that whenever someone says some thing negative about rihanna you guys say it is from a beyonce stan. I’ve said negative things about rihanna and I’m not a Bey stan I’m a mariah stan. Not everyone that does not like rihanna is a bey stan o.k
The latest artist to rip off of M.I.A.’s style..
OMG, I’m sure they’re Trinidadian girls, who are watching this, and having a “belly-full of laugh!”
It seems that the harder she tries to “dance”, the more it seems like she’s just “trying-too-hard” and looks “unnatural,” “hurried,” “forced” and … “stiff!
” … And I guess that’s what “rude girls” do: they look down Rude-boy’s pants, right? I mean, y’all did see her do that, or was it just me? Well, she did say that she does like “big d****!”
No wonder, on stage, she has to rely on props, costumes and “themes,” I guess it’s not unlike Lady Gaga, as far as, their live performances and “stage-presence!” This makes me wanna watch some Ciara, Shakira or even Beyonce.
Raychel you talk too much why can’t you just make one comment and leave, you just keep coming back and forth. You are pissing me of.
She did her usual, showing people she has had s** before, this is not a stand out video. We’ve seen it before and for her sake I hope she gets a #1 out of this so she can sit down. It’s almost like she copied Solange on her video but in a little somewhat different form. If that’s whay y’all call dancing then someone needs to go look at other videos. D-
Oh Raychel, stop with the “mellodrama” already! Raychel isn’t like much Rihanna supporters, do y’all really think she can dance better than Ciara, Shakira and that this wasn’t a M.I.A rip-off?

GOOD

<I like that she is being playful so people can see her other side
<I think all the action in the video distracted you from the wack ass lyrics
<Claiming her ROOTS
<Japanese girls will love it
<Glad she was riding animals and not dudes
<She most likely paid for this video herself so I give her props for that
<She looks like a young Lady Saw with the long hair

< The beat should have had a harder dancehall beat maybe a remix a dancehall artist.
<This has been done better by girls not from the Caribbean (M.I.A.,Gwen, SantiGold, Beyonce)

<This should have been a video for "HOLE IN MY HEAD" That is the real club jumpoff

Sasan – You there now, or are you “deh a foreign?”
This is it? Wow…okay i guess…very animated…reminds me of Solo’s I decided video…Cat suit and the zebra reminds me alot of Kitty Kat..both done by Melina….Melina needs to come up with some new concepts because im sure the creativity ain’t running around in Rhi’s head..This is the best song i’ve heard from her…but the video is very weak..I def wanted a bit more then just green screen pop art animation…This has been done over and over and over again…Geezee… Waiting for GAGA…Hell even A Keys and B seems to have a bit more coming than this..
“OMG I MISS CASSIE’S #1 FAN SAMMIE SHE WOULD FIT PERFECT WITH X Y AND Z”
@dddd
No, “sammy” was actually entertaining and didn’t whole novels with each post. “XYAndZ” is just pathetic, expending so much energy on an artist he/she/it claims NOT to like. Keep driving up these Ri Ri thread counts, boo boo. She’ll keeping getting blog post love as long as you keep commenting. You haters are better than stans at keeping her relevant.
Rihanna gurl, video was FIYAH!
@Sasan – I look out my window and I see – no lie – 2-feet of snow! I miss my ‘brown-skin people’, I hate NO-ONE, but I miss “Children of the sun” – REAL TALK!
…Oh what a rat-race, this is the rat-race….
This is probably the cutest video of hers since “Shut Up And Drive”. I approve.
any jamaicans in di house
@Reasonable voice – You seem…”bitter,” come put your head on X,Y”and Z’s” shoulder….tell me, what troubles you?
Is it that you realize I’m ONLY telling the truth? Is that YOU know the truth but want it kept hidden?
Rihanna was ‘in-her-element,’ and this was HER video with “her people’s music,” yet still she failed! As far as “writing novels,” well, Rihanna didn’t graduate High School, I’m ONLY trying to encourage her to read – that’s all – NOTHING sinister ’bout that, now is there?

@XYZ
what’s the count now, 126? care to add more to it?
Melina save it all by her great great great job! Rihanna is not that bad….but I wish she would be hotter….more involved in the choregraphy.
I think that It’s too early for releasing both single and video. they would have more success during the spring/ summer season.
We’ll see….
But..y is Chris Brown in the video..damn she can’t get over him.
yall need to watch gimme da light so yall can know how the dances are really done….sorry she sucked again.
As one of Rihanna’s biggest and truest fans, I thought this video was s***. I absolutely do not like it. She could have come wid something MUCH better. I would like to slap the Bajan right out of her, I real shame. This is what happens when you bring out the Okay Songs from the album. & wtf was she doing? I don’t like that “dancing”. She coulda brought out a video for Cold Case Love ( my favourite ), Fire Bomb or even Rockstar 101. Furthermore, I think Photographs would’ve even sufficed.
Ugh. I am so disappointed.
This song going straight to the numba one stop..Rihanna you did your thing haters f*** off
*SPOT
@Reasonable Voice – Any attempt at humor, “guised” as sarcasm should, at least, be concise and based on some “clarity”, that said, what are you talking ’bout?
I don’t lie”, I attack no one, but even IF I were to lie, I’d STILL speak the truth; know this ’bout me! …It’s part-and-parcel of my character; if I had the energy, I’d educate you on said matters!
But this blog will “blow-up” – if I have anything to do with it, and Trent /Sam and TGJ will hold all the charlatans, fakers and “fame-whores,” at bay, by shining the light on ’em!
It took CoverGirl all this while to see Rihanna for what SHE really is, that empire of hers is falling, brick by brick and I, XY”and Z,” will be there watching and whispering: “I told you sooooooooo…….”
It’s sad when Rihanna stans hold her to a low standard
Rihanna is a gimmick the chick changes her style everyday in an attempt to sell records but it ain’t working
The videos was ok to b a Rihanna video but GaGa still kicks her b*** in the creativity department and Bey will always slay her in the dancing department
Rihanna reign is up
@Reasonable voice – it’s now @134 – can I get a 135 y’all? Gone once, going twice…..
….Y’all know what, in-honor-of “reasonable voice” lets see if we can “break the 200 barrier!”
Let me and grab some coffee, and get ready for some …. “serious-keyboard-overtime”; be afraid, be VERY afraid; upon my return, I’ll have “lightening in my eyes and thunder in my voice!!”
LOOOVE IT!!, i don;t know why people can’t just enjoy the video and stop picking at every lil thing, keep rep Bim Ri Ri
it’s hard to create something really new everytime but the feel good time style is pink
Although I still think Rihanna leaves much to be desired talent wise, I kind of like this video. Finally some personality!
Pop fans will love this.
Dats a whole lotta booty shakin’ but I likes it though. Despite me not having the desire to purchase RATED R, her last two singles have been quite nice. This song is perfect for a Spring Break party, and seems like it will do well on the charts.
oh wow, that was embarrassing on the dancing part. The whole video was of her winding her hips? oooOK?
*rushes to youtube to watch “Love S** Magic” video and then “she wolf” *
rihanna did her thing. What more choreography should she have done? ITs a fun playful song and she kept it at that. I don’t know what sam means by stiff choreography did he want ri ri to skin out and get on totally raw and loose on a video? There is a time and place for that, and rihanna kept it tame, because all that other stuff is for the bedroom or the passa passa party. Ri Ri is not trying to look like a s*** now, she is trying to give you guys a dignified whine, and she did just that.
anyway it’s a nice video for its own, really.
Once again, Rihanna has floored me with a video. No, it’s hardly original- the pop-art/collage style of the video has been done by M.I.A. and the like before. But as a Caribbean resident, the video is authentic at least where the dancing is concerned. This is the most fun i’ve seen Rihanna in a video, and trust, this song will be ANOTHER hit from the already-platinum certified “Rated R”.
When Beyonce can do dancehall, pop, R&B, dance, and pop/rock, then i’ll listen to what you Rihanna haters have to say. If she was standing, y’all would a still had a problem- screw you, Sam and all tha haters on here! Rihanna is slaying and there is NOTHING you anyone of you can do about it! If Beyonce is this great talent that you all say she is, where the hell is her versatility?? And why is it that “Rated R” is consistently better than any album Beyonce has done, song for song?? Beyonce’s just been churning out the same t*****-s*** the last 5 years! Rihanna has changed up her look and sound constantly, like a true pop-chameleon since she came on the scene! Get your heads out of Beyonce’s drawers!
@ Bey stans, Beyonce can’t dance either and her videos are low-bugdet.
Raychel, you’re lame get a life. Rihanna is not paying you to comment on what everybody says on this video. Get over it. It’s visually near the same, end of.
@xyz well rihanna is not trinidadian, and she wasn’t dancing to soca. I bet if you throw on some soca she could show you a thing or two. No matter what this girl does, you guys try to pick it apart. She is dancing her way, and need not to be compared to no other. and you all always talking about bey’ s dancing and all that forgetting that beyonce ripped off the whole jamaican style of dancing with all the whining and stuff, not to mention the dutty whine she keep doing in all her shows. Please. didn’t fatima the jamaican choreographer teach her all them moves. Whining down to the ground and stuff. That’s strictly caribbean baby and bey studied it well.
People that talk in all caps should be banned from commenting on the internet.
Also as for the video…I really like this one. She wasn’t trying to freestyle at all, obviously. It’s an island thing to move your hips that way. It was her way of being a bit sexier.
She isn’t trying to prove anything.
its only a music video :p
@dwayne fighter, you couldn’t have said it better. They up on here saying rihanna changes her style all the time. Hell, that’s what artists are supposed to do. Then you all wonder why she is so relevant and successful. Its because she is versatile. She does all genres of music, pop, r &b, rock, dancehall, reggae, I bet she can do soca and calypso to, and should, just to shock you guys even more. This girl does it all, and that is what makes rihanna interesting and brings out the hate in people who want to stop her progress. Its killing them that she is so sought after and is everywhere, with her name on everyones lips. Blogs can’t get enough of her, magazines, shows, the girl commands attention, and the haters can’t stand it. hate on hate on, because rihanna is that chic. and she’s gorgeous to boot. That’s a formula for hate right there.
a true man even if she disapoint me a little bit di video still alright if beyonce did do da song yah a bet u say it wouldnt so fun
@DWAYNEFIGHTER….You wish Rated Flop was anything close to what Beyonce has done!!! You are funny thinking Rihanna’s album is anything compared to ANY of Beyonce’s albums!!!! LOL….What you described about Rihanna changing her style and looks/hair every time she comes out is called a GIMMICK!!!! Beyonce keeps the same look and sells millions of album and ALWAYS the top of the charts each time, she doensn’t have to change all the time cause she has REAL TALENT!!!!!!…Beyonce changes with her music and not her style and look!!!! None of Beyonce’s albums sound the same!!!!!!! She has been called an ICON for a reason..SOMETHING Rihanna will never be!
YESSSSSSSS
@Reasonable voice – it’s “up-to” 150 – and counting….
…I “feel 200″, just ‘roud the bend – LETS GO FOR IT ….”TEAM TGJ!!”
Man Rihanna stans hold her to a low standard…. this looks like something Solange, GAGA, and MIA have already done… You can also tell she her been taking notes from her biggest idol beyonce and from ciara on how to move… still was a bit stiff to me… C for effort D for the concept…
OMG…….My girl killed this shyt! Didn’t know RiRi could move like that! Oh yea this have Number 1 written all over it! LOVE the song by the way
HATERZZZZ Fall back!
@wtf
wow i don’t usually comment but i lurk a lot & i have notice that when ever there is a rihanna post u comment.that is all fine & good but u make it ur biz to comment to only say how much u hate rihanna in some form r the other but yet a rihanna post can’t miss u.it’s like u live just so u can say ..oh i hate her so much… that may be truly how u feel but after observing for a while & i have to say that u may want to examine urself carefully b’cuz u may actually b obssess wid rihanna.
THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE AN INSULT.

ANYONE WHO HAS A PROBLEM, GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF! THE WHOLE INTERNET IS BUZZING!!!!!!!!
@blasian
yeah I’m sure that Telephone is going to shut riri’s rude boy up
isnt what people were complaning bout how she doesnt dance but poses in all her videos and live shows,
I mean give the girl a break, her albums flopping like a mutha, shes trying to show is shes still the old rihanna, leave the girl alone. I actually thought this video was better than that HARD video,,,its not the worst video out there, …
Damn, im getting soft, i actually didnt hate that video,
Beyonce jr that is Rihanna new name cuz she straight jacked beyonce style I know Rihanna worships Bey bit dang she straight copying her now
Beyonce jr was really trying to dance I guess the old Rihanna is back
Beyonce is the queen it’s only natural for lesser singers to copy her
what are all yall hating for if you don’t like it then don’t comment.All you hater are just jealous of rihanna.OK!!!! her voice is limited and she isn’t better than your beloved QUEEN BEE.NO body is saying she is,seriously bees fans are threatened by rihanna.Thats why you all criticize her on a daily basis.It’s wrong to talk about people who you don’t know noting about.YES i will admit i am guilty of being someone who trash talked celebrities because of envy and jealously.I was wrong,i think rihanna’s video is very ARTISTIC and CREATIVE.I don’t see what the fuss is about over a video that will earn rihanna money and not her fans nor haters.IT’s just pointless hateful comments.How would riri feel if she read some of these comments?How would you feel if you read something like this about yourself?look inside yourself and ask yourself why you feel the need to talk or comment bad about peoples lives.Thats going to earn them MONEY,POWER,and more FAME!!!!! what are you benefiting off of hate ZILCH!!!! like MICHAEL JACKSON SAID SPREAD THE LOVE,LOVE EVERY(even enemies),START OFF WITH LOVE.I LOVE MICHAEL jACKSON,BEYONCE,RIHANNA,LADY GAGA,MADONNA,BRITNEY SPEARS.
WOW LOOK AT THIS FAKE ASS EBONY BONES, M.I.A , SANTIGOLD, SOLANGE( I DECIDED VIDEO),KITTY KAT B**** ! LOL GET OUT OF HERE WITH THIS ALREADY DONE FAKE ARTISTIC SHITTTT!
AND IM DONE!
I can’t believe that Beyonce fans are up in a Rihanna post. *coughs*
Hi Haters!
MIA copycat.
this is like a cross between Boyz by MIA and I Decided by Solange.
she needa stop copying people & find her own niche.
I can’t believe that Beyonce has been ripping off Caribbean people for years, using our dance moves and having the world think it’s her own. And some of ya’ll island folks come up in here hating on one of our own, and she ain’t even trying to do anything but have fun. Fo shame!
Like how much bigger do you want it Rihanna? Shet, your from the Carribean where dudes are slinging 10 inches or better, My friend called and said she looks stressed, I was like neow, Rihanna is stretched, BIG DIFFERENCE. Raychel, this is not twitter boo with your “WhoMad”…..Sit Down Neow. Anyway, love the video. Cant get enough. Her swag cant be duplicated. I do wish she went in with like six girls behind her killing it.
The video is great.. Rihanna is as stiff as a board and dull as hell. Get a talented person, give them the same exposure and budget and you’d have a superstar….hang on a second, we have some Alicia Keys, Gaga and BEYONCE.
SIT DOWN rIHANNA NO ONE’S BELIEVING YOUR CERTIFICATIONS OR YOUR ‘TALENT.
I LIKED THE VIDEO BUT NOT AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT I WOULD. I WAS REALLY EXPECTING MORE DANCING OR BETTER YET BETTER DANCING! SHE LOOKED A BIT AWKWARD MOVING HER HIPS. IT DIDN’T LOOK NATURAL IMO…….I DIDN’T EXPECT HER TO GO ALL OUT AND GET LOOSE AS A GOOSE BUT I THOUGHT MAYBE 4 OR 5 BACKUP DANCERS WITH COME SYNCHRONIZED DANCE MOVES WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE. THE COLORS AND THE OUTFITS IN THE VID WERE OKAY. ALTHOUGH I LIKE MELINA’S VIDEOS, I DON’T REALLY LIKE HER DIRECTION BECAUSE OF HER LACK OF VERSATILITY. HER VIDEOS ALWAYS LOOK SIMILAR TO ME. SHE SHOULD EXPAND HER DIRECTION BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS GONNA COMPARE ARTISTS VIDEOS THAT ARE DIRECTED BY HER. ANYWAYS, THE VIDEO WAS DEFINITELY NOTHING SPECIAL. THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A WHOLE LOT BETTER. I REALLY LIKE THE “HARD” VIDEO WAY MORE AND I LIKE THE SONG MORE AS WELL. BUT WHATEVS, AT LEAST SHE [TRIED] TO DANCE.
AND WHY DO PEOPLE CONSTANTLY BRING UP BEYONCE OR HER STANS IN RIHANNA’S POSTS? @RAYCHEL, YOU’RE COOL, NO SHADE, BUT WHY DID YOU CALL OUT ALL THE BEYONCE STANS AS IF ALL PEOPLE WHO DON’T LIKE RIHANNA ARE BEYONCE STANS?
@Ms Clay
…Thank you. Why is it that if someone doesn’t like Rihanna, they’re called a Bee stan. Hell I know ppl who dont like neither, and there are ppl like me who like both.
Now, on to the video. I didn’t really like it. The animals kinda threw me off…was she humpin the lion?? But she looks good. And i like the song
I jus youtube Russian Roulette….now that was a hot video.
she so OVAHHHHHHHHHH
Cheap video just like her.
the video was cute…but when people say that artists should always change up their styles, Britney hasnt changed, Bon Jovi hasn’t changed,loads of other super long standing artists have not changed and their fans appreciate that, so to say that an artists has to constantly change up to stay “relevant” isn’t really true. I see that people REALLY like that she went “back ” to her Carribean roots ( which may bolster my point earlier), maybe this video will help the song do better, but really who watches videos anymore ( BET,VH1 and maybe MTV kinda sorta still play videos anymore). But cute video
don’t like it…. but not because of rihanna… genereally don’t like this type of video
You know what Beyonce fans are hypocrites. The person you guys give the most praise to is the MAIN one that steals from everybody. Beyonce is one of the least original singers and yet you bash Rihanna because her video shares some similarities to M.I.A and Solange???? GET OVER IT Rihanna did her thing in this video and i am not even a huge fan! Her body was on point
Whoa! We said we wanted color and boy did she gave us color ! LOL Really…I’m just glad to see she’s over with the whole dark look. Riri gets two thumbs up for Rude Boy Video! LUV it! She did her thang! 😀
This is her best video to date, and that says a lot about the quality of her video’s ! LOL
I’m a B stan but I hate when people instantly assume I don’t like her because of that. This song is one of my favourite of the moment – despite Rhi not being an artist I particularly care for. The vid is pretty damn good too…
By her standards, anyway. I appreciate the fact tnat for the first time in a long time she actually danced, but I’ve seen hundreds of other girls doing what she did in the vid at parties. And some people are acting like it’s the hottest thing since Thriller. I would have liked it more if she’d done a bit of a routine with a couple of girls; and in fact, that’s what I expected when I heard this vid was gonna be more dancehall – something along the lines of the Pon De Replay vid.
But, still. I must applaud Rhi for the above; she’s serving it a lot more than I’ve ever seen her do before. Now let’s just pray that she can do the same live – though, by past performances, I doubt it.
SIDENOTE: Does anyone else miss Sammy and his delusional comments? Just musing here…
And, to finish off, I don’t think Rhi is copying the Queen B in this vid. Melina just directed both this and the Kitty Kat vid, so directors tend to use similar themes sometimes. We don’t need to jump on this vid and claim she swagger jacking B or anything.
I try to never compare the two artists; they’re starkly different and are coming with different sounds.. And I’ve met many people who like both. Just by saying that this is a good vid, doesn’t mean that they’re saying one is better than the other (although IMO B is better by far).
Peace.
NO-OH !
I like certain parts, but WHY Rihanna ??? WAKE UP ??? You have so much to do than shake ya ass…
Sad
shes really trying to be like Beyonce….coming out with a song for every Video… not a good look Ri Ri
AMMM FYI THE SONG IS CALLED RUDE BOY AND ITS ABOUT WANTING TO GET IN ON WITH A GUY…. SO WHY SHOULD SHE HAVE DANCERS , WHY SHOULD SHE NOT WINE,
IF SHE DID AS YOU WISHED THEN SHOULD WOULD DEFINITELY LOOK LIKE BEYONCE
Shes really trying to be like Beyonce….. coming out with a video for every song!! i like Ri but dont be like Bey lol only Beyonce can do it
Take it, take it, love me, love me. Very cute video, loved the dancing, loved the color.
If she is too dark she is too dark, if she isnt, you guys have always to find something to judge, it does look like a M.I.A video, I dont remember what one but Rude Boy is a very cool and finally a new kind of video that we will get in our TVs, a breath of fresh air if you ask me, I didnt like the song but after watching the video Im definetily starting to feel it.
And you guys always have to talk about Beyonce, the biggest swager jacker of all time and I dont see any similarity here but whatever, Beyonce stans with their lack of brain only see what they want to see, if your mind tells you that Rihanna copies Beyonce, in every video you will think that, even if there isnt any similarity between them, just sad
I LOVEDDDD THIS VIDEO!!! Seen it last night and went to bed thinking about it, woke up and had to play it again. She OWNED this video! It was EPIC! Not 100% original, but what is now-a-days? Haters are gonna try to find things to hate on. GO RIRI! TEAM RIHANNA!
very good video i like it
🙂
She bought my hopes up, and she disappointed me again. Damn Rihanna!….
classy. not!
….’This’ isn’t working for Rihanna, that ‘once-playful’, ‘colorful-and-happy’ “pon-de-replay-girl” is no-more and can NEVER be “revisited,” “Feb 8th Chrianna NOT withstanding!”
It just seems that…the “more” she tries – the “more” it seems that she IS, in-fact, “trying-TOO-hard” at something that is totally unnatural – to her and looks “STIFF”! So she’s NOW, trying to “re-invent” herself, but so far, this ‘effort,’ while admirable in it’s attempt, ‘falls-short’ in it’s execution and leaves MUCH to be desired; we ALL WERE hoping for so-much-more from Rihanna……
Oh well, back to the drawing board!
I see a lot of people mentioning Beyonce like her and Rihanna are in the same category!!!
RIHANNA WILL NEVER BE BEYONCE OR ANYTHING CLOSE TO BEYONCE! RIHANNA CANT EVEN COME A MILE CLOSE TO BEYONCE AND YOU RIHANNA STANS NEED TO REALIZE THAT!!!!!
@Reasonable Voice — 196 – AND COUNTING!!!! Where dem bloggers at – where they at – where they at?
Go Sammy go-go-go…..
Keep it coming x,y and z..LMAO!
Just an FYI, they posted another Rihanna thread and it’s only got a few comments so far. Now some of you have another opportunity to write how much you don’t like her in case people didn’t get the point from this thread or any other previous threads.
Listen, I’m NO “fan” of Jay Z – not by a LONGSHOT, but the difference between Rihanna and Beyonce can be summed-up in one word: “Breeding/Class” (let’s make that two words!).
Rihanna was never “held to a higher standard,” not like Beyonce, who was EXPECTED to “do-better” and acceled-at, any and all, of HER pursuits.
Let me say this once again, I’m NO fan of Jay Z, to me, he’s beyond contempt and his recent (and not-too-distant) actions were equally reprehensible: Chris Brown, Charlamainthagod, “tha Game”, etc, etc…..
@Reasonable Voice — 201 – Ta-daaaaa! … And there you have it, good folk of cyber space – we just broke the 200 mark!! Hey “reasonable voice,” we owe it ALL to you – “Take a bow!” ; )
…Sammy, you’ll have to be “renamed,” I now christen you: “Sammy go-go.” (When Trent ‘breaks 200’, I’ll have to find a new name for him too.)
In any case, “my-work” done….
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!!
there just videos not a presidential address. its good. what you want her to do. gallie over kill much on the “its not good enough”
People hate because Rihanna will always stand on her own and Beyonce will always be daddy’s mule.
This video doesn’t remind me of Beyonce are she would have two dancer on the side of her.
If Beyonce can dance then Janet must can’t.
nobody disocver that this video is so similar to solange’s “i decided”.
OMG I can’t believe this post has this many comments already!
anywayz at first I wasn’t really feeling the dance moves but then i thought about it I saw the movie “Dancehall Queen” not too long ago and that’s how they dance.It’s all about swag and grindin.Considering that I don’t hate it as much now.
THE VID IS HOTTTT THIS WILL BE #1 WORLD WIDE FOR SURE….KEEP HATEN HATERS
First of All Allow me To Laugh At The Beyonce Cannot Dance Comment…Lmaoooo
Second Allow Me To Laugh At The Rihanna Killed It Comment…Lmaooo
Third Allow Me To Laugh At The Stans Thinking She Danced Sooo Goood…Lmaooo
——————-
For An Islander Rihanna Cannot Dance For S***..I Take It Most Of You People Never Saw Real Dance Hall Dancing..Because What She Was Doing..Wasnt It..Anybody Can Whine Their Hips In a Circle And It Will Look Good…Lmao..Beyonce Isnt Even From The Islands And She Can Do DanceHall Moves..Whats Rihanna’s Excuse..Its Cute How Her Video Was Biting The Knowles Sisters, M.I.A’s, Santigold and others Vids…The Video Is Alright..But When Telephone Comes Out Its Gonna Murder Rihanna’s Vid..Then Its Back To The Drawing Board…Of Whos Swag Should I Cop Next…But This Is My Favorite Song Off Her Album..The Video Is Just Lame..And I Was Expecting More
Why are people jumping On me on this post saying that I have no life and that om pissing them off when. Xyz posted on here over 100 times saying the exact same thing!!! I was excited about the video okay this is a blog you can’t tell people what to do and what to say on your terms!!! I am a Rihanna Stan and I was happy for her..why can’t people just leave me alone???
I’m sorry if I offended anybody with the bey stans (msclay) but most of them were the main ones saying the video was a rip off…
I hate this blog I really do.
Beyonce has Rhythm and can learn Choreography but really dance her ass off. HELL NO
Compare Rhythm Nation to Single Ladies. People have lost touch of what real dancing is.
Yes. A Sri Lankan Londoner named M.I.A. invented Caribbean dancehall style, music, and culture. There is no way a girl from Barbados, Caribbean, would have any idea about anything dancehall a music genre invented and popularised in that very region and so she is OBVIOUSLY swaggerjacking LMAO!!!! GET A CLUE FOLKS!
love the video
haters go f*** urselfs!
@xyz get a life!
@ GHETTO FAB, you make a good point and with but with over 200 comments she’s very relevant.
It’s reasonable to watch a video of an artist you like or have interest in. However, my question to some of you: If you’ve stated multiple times on previous Rihanna threads that she can’t sing or dance WHY…EVEN…WATCH…THE…VIDEO?
It was ok it could’ve been better. She could’ve taken the darker route and it would’ve been better. The colors were too much if she’s tryin to give us headaches, and epileptics seisures she has suceeded. She has too many different elements from other ppls music videos. I love the song but the video killed it for me. I’ll jus stick to listening to the album for now.
@smh, so you’re the only one who has seen real dancehall? the point is that rihanna is doing a video, so you don’t expect her to do real dancehall, the way its really done in a video ment for tv do you.? Do you ever see dancehall videos being played on mainstream tv? its a reason why, that type of stuff would not be allowed to be shown with out some type of parental advisory. What rihanna was doing was simply whining to her song, and she didn’t need to skin out, c*** out her batty, do the hot wuk and all of that. She was keeping it simple and fun. BTW, you guys kill me acting like you want rihanna to pull out her whole arsenal of dance moves in a 3 minute video. Its just a video, a fun addition to her music, and rihanna did a good job.
@dawon she already came a mile to beyonce when she tied with the most hits of the decade.
@ B@TCH PLEASE uhhhh Beyonce can dance….. you’re comparing to different styles of dance like comparing Krumping to Ballet
the video was cute…but when people say that artists should always change up their styles, Britney hasnt changed, Bon Jovi hasn’t changed,loads of other super long standing artists have not changed and their fans appreciate that, so to say that an artists has to constantly change up to stay “relevant” isn’t really true
**************************************************************************************************
No one said they have to change to be relevant. Its just that rihanna likes to change things up and try things, and that is something that is good to me. I like seeing artist bring something new and fresh and go outside of the box that people think they have them in. It is more interesting. Who wants to be stuck with the same look and sound for years and years. After awhile you get stuck in a rut, and finally realize that, The only thing that’s constant is change. And to your above references. Britney spears have definitely changed. from the kiss me baby one more time, to her new song 3. you can’t say she is still the same. and so have bon jovi, he looks the same, but his music, and style has broadend to reach some of the younger generation. To each his own, you can’t expect rihanna to do the same things as bonjovi who is from a totally different generation than she is. WHen bon jovi started out, ri ri wasn’t even thinking of being conceived. Personally that’s what I like about rihanna. Her versatility, you never know what she is going to come with next, and her music gives me a little bit of everything.
@ I AM I know its comparing because JJ is a real dancer and Beyonce just shakes her ass to the beat.
it was really good! she is finally moving those hips. It was also a very creative video
good job rihanna, Russian Roulette and Hard sucked but Rude Boy is definitely a winner
I sort of liked the video for its concept of abstract out of the box with color and black and white. That was cool. And Rihanna looked nice as always. But other than that she didn’t do much. The sad part is she didn’t move that much, but because she never really moves that much she looks like she is doing a whole lot. She winded a bit, popped out her but a bit, and did some more model poses, which isn’t much. Cuz she ain’t wind that hard and she don’t have enough ass to really even pop. It looked like she was trying to imitate some Beyonce moves, but couldn’t handle it. It was sort of Jamaican themed with the colors and the dancing, but she is from Barbados. And their colors are blue and yellow (gold). And i am pretty sure they have some of their own dance moves. She representin a country that ain’t even hers. Why don’t she put barbados more on the map. Help increase their tourism more.
hot hot hot, go ri ri.. bet jay will love this lol
@jjlova06 whining is the dance moves all over the caribbean, so what do you mean she could have some of their dance moves. Plus red green and gold, is the colors all of the caribbean rep. Its not just jamaican, it is part of the rastafarian movement which is prevalent all over the islands. and a west indian is a west indian it don’t matter what island you from, we all have the same cultural background.
@DAWON- h**, have a seat. unlike u, i read. the major magazines ALL have praised “Rated R” even more than ANY of Beyonce’s albums! “Dangerously in Love” is top heavy and boring. “B’Day” is fun and ghetto. and “I Am… Sasha Fierce” is a mix between those two aesthetics. why can’t Beyonce find some middle ground?? if she isn’t ghetto, she’s extremely BORING.
check metacritic.com. see for YOURSELF what the critics say. only a deluded fan would think that because Beyonce can scream, her album has to be better. when she can sing about other things than rings, video phones and radios, i’ll think otherwise. MWAH!
and all you m************ who don’t even know where to find the Caribbean or Trinidad on a map, shut the f*** up! don’t comment on/critique somebody else’s culture when you haven’t even been to their country. you stans disgust me!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
no choreo…..barely showed some of the hottest outfits…..
blatant MIA ripofff.
so boring and dumb
she needs to stop making dumb videos
make good ones with real ppl n not a green screen plz
i luv rihanna n the song
but rly
Okay im a fan of Beyonce but some of you “Bey bots” have got to stop! I bet you losers couldn’t wait to watch the video just so you could trash it, probably been on the computer all day waiting for Sam to post it! A lot of Bey stans (not fans) are hypocrites, quick to trash every other female artist, but wanna call everybody a “hater” or preach some “black women tear each other down” s*** when someone has something less than great to say about Beyonce. Some of you sick asses even call her “Queen B.” I mean, im a Bey fan and all, but “Queen B?” Really? Please tell me she’s paying you for this.
Okay just had to get that off my chest!
As for the “Rude Boy” video, i liked it, except for the black and white part during the bridge, it just seemed out of place. Fashion was on point as usual, and i thought the whining she did fit the song, but im guessing some people were expecting a full out dance video. My fav video off “Rated R” so far!
VIDEO IS FIRE! At least her ass didn’t try to redo “Single Ladies” two more times like Beyonce did with “Ego” and “Diva” (two girls dancing on each side in black & white). Rihanna innovates, and visually, this is one of the most interesting videos I’ve seen in awhile.
I’m not a Beyonce or Rihanna “stan”, but I enjoy them both. I get really irritated with Beyonce fans who think that B created EVERYTHING. She’s cute, but she’ll NEVER make videos as groundbreaking as the woman I “stan” for: JANET DAMITA JO JACKSON.
That is all.
I Like it.
YES its Kitty Kat & M.I.A
But they never originated the video style and Rihanna done a good job.
I like that it’s colourful & not super sexual.
That song is sexual so she could easily have a guy all up on her flirty etc, but she keep it cool.
IT WORKS IN MY OPINION!
loooooooooooooooooove it
And Kitty Kat was wack as hell!!!! Yes, Rihanna had that little moment in the middle that reminds you of KK, but I’m pretty sure she was not trying to redo that mess LOL!
She sure aint whining like we bajan girls.This stiff Americain girl whining
Rihanna is the S***. This video is SICK — haters eat a D***! That is all.
Loooool beyonce this beyonce that looool hahahha
Beyonce is Ded bringing out the same old s*** everyday kmt b**** plz
she is never happy she always bringing out all these depressed songs she is soo boering plz soo can you beyonce stans go and comment on her new perfume of somthing because this post is about RIHANNA …
Anyywayzz i Looooved this video it was great YES IT did remind me of M.I.A but soo what it colourful and Rihanna can dance Rihanna can do Ballet
Until beyonce and her Fat ass can do ballet i consider rihanna a better dancer Loool
Rihanna wants to have fun she dont want to be seriouse all the time she is turning 22 she is young let her do what she wants to do and for the SOLANGE rip off Loool hmmmm solange she is DED soo i dnt even cear loool and this is nothing like i decided WTF soo your saying if a video has lots of colors it has to be like solanges video WTF loool
Rihanna Rocked but beyonce stans whill always find something bad to sayy
but everyone has the freedom to say how they feel so yhh its whatever..!
Screams of M.I.A. to me!
Good effort though – she needs to make more of that effort on stage!
i’m not really a rihanna fan but i actually like it
there is something about rihanna dat i’m starting to like bk again =)
wow i can’t believe i’m saying this but U GO RIRI
@RAYCHEL
I’M NOT OFFENDED AT ALL. MY POINT WAS WHY CALL OUT BEY STANS WHEN SOME BEY STANS LIKE RIHANNA? OR WHEN PEOPLE WHO AREN’T BEY STANS DON’T LIKE RIHANNA EITHER? IT’S LIKE YOU AND OTHER RIHANNA STANS ALWAYS COMPLAIN ABOUT PEOPLE WHO DON’T LIKE RIHANNA ALWAYS GOTTA BRING UP BEYONCE AND OTHER ARTISTS WHEN IN ACTUALITY MOST OF THE TIME IT’S THE RIHANNA STANS WHO DO IT! I MEAN THE SECOND COMMENT ON THIS POST(WHICH WAS MADE BY YOU) IS THE BEGINNING OF DRAMA BY ASKING “WHERE THE BEY STANS AT? AND THE BEY STANS FAIL”….YEAH THE BEY STANS MAY HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE VIDEO BEFORE HAND BUT NOT ON THIS POST. I MEAN YOU CALLING THEM OUT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOROTHER PEOPLE WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE BEY STANS TO ACTUALLY CRITQUE AND GIVE OPINIONS ON THE VIDEO WITHOUT BRINGING UP BEYONCE OR ANOTHER ARTIST. AND CALLING THEM OUT STILL WON’T MEAN THEY SHOULD LIKE VIDEO EVEN THOUGH YOU REALLY LIKE IT! PLEASE DON’T THINK I’M TRYING TO INSULT YOU CUZ I’M NOT, YOU’RE COOL. IT’S JUST I THINK CALLING OUT BEY STANS IN A RIHANNA POST WAS LITTLE FAR FETCHED. THAT’S ALL.
WOW IT AMAZES ME HOW MUCH PEOPLE SAY “ALL BEYONCE DOES IS SHAKE HER ASS TO A BEAT” WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT RIHANNA IS DOING IN THIS VIDEO. THEN AGAIN, BEYONCE IS HER BIGGEST IDOL SO IT DOESNT SURPRISE ME THAT SHE HAS BEEN TAKING HER FAIR SHARE OF NOTES…. SHE JUST HASNT BEEN STUDYING THEM WELL…
video: 3 Stars(Max), song: 4 Stars.
I would have expected better than an 80s fashion & 70s Imagery Rip off & Not to mention she stole this whole idea from Solange(whom is just as good of a singer in her own right & probably better)
I would have done something more cinamatic & less Silly/animated/colorful. like maybe a s*** vid with Rih singing in some guys ear on the Bed wearing nothing but a Bra & Panties(lingerie) & them getting wild & flirtatious & dancing together & enjoying each others company & maybe a pool scene IDK, that would be Much Better.
& I Know Rih isnt a dancer(as her music doesnt require much) but C’Mon, If your going to attempt it atleast make it look like your not someones grand Mother at a Birthday Party, I was expected her to bust the Robot or some Shyte. I agree with Sam in other words

rihanna will never fail with all her haters
I love the video. Why are people in here hating on Ri, if u don’t like her, then why are you “wasting your time?”
We all know that when you’re doing something right, someone will always be around to try and pull you down.
Everybody’s a critic. Pity they don’t get paid for it.
SAM I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME YOU GROW UP AND STOP PROMOTING “HATE” ON YOUR BLOGS
YOU HAVE SO MUCH OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY HAVE A GOOD, FRIENDLY, LIKEABLE BLOG
YET YOU HATE, AND GET PEOPLE ALL HEATED AND CAUSE ISSUES AMONG ISSUES IN YOUR COMMENT SECTION
NOW IF THATS WHAT YOU LIKE TO PUT INTO THE WORLD , THEN FINE
BUT ITS NOT A GOOD LOOK.
Maybe it’s just me but this video wasn’t s*** at all. It was sleezy and kind of trashy. I’m not really a Rihanna fan but if she did a good video I would say so. Cold Case Love, for example, I feel is a great, real song. This is garbage. I just feel that as a woman, ESPECIALLY a black woman, you have a responsibility to other females that look up to you. We already have enough people telling us that black women are less than. (First rappers and their videos and now John Mayer and his ignorant ass) So for her to make a video and a song like this is just perpetuating the enduring stereotype that black women are Jezzebels. People look up to her, young girls look up to her. It’s one thing to be free and unashamed of the fact that you’re a sexual being, we all are, but now you’re gonna have young girls walking around singing “get it up rude boy is you big enough”. Thank you.
@quana
finally someone has a legit reason not to support her. not saying u dont like her, but you made a valid point. this song is not a good song for majority of her listeners who are young girls.

LOVE IT…THOUGHT THE REAL RHIANNA HAD DIED…GOOD TO SEE SHE TAKIN IT BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN…LOVE THE SONG AND VIDEO!!
I dont like the double meaning to this song, but then again the majority of music has double meanings so im not gona s*** on this one. I just love Riri’ s flavour and what she brings to the music industry. This girl can rock anything and make it luk cool. Telephone? Its just one big orgy if you ask me. Its a catchy song but i dont see whats the big deal? Cause Bee and Gaga singing? If it was anyone else singing that tune then it wouldnt have been so famous.
Everyone just expects, expects expects from Rihanna. Just accept what she giving and if u dnt like dnt listen to it cause she has her own style. Ive seen other “Rihanna hater blogs” and im appalled at the things they say about this girl. She’s been around for only 5 years and you expect her to excel at everything? For some it takes a lot of hard work to get where you want to do and she has been thru such alot since coming into the spotlight. Give her a break. Everyone has theyre own pace for goals and i bet she just trying to enjoy what she does without people judging or criticising her. They call her everytng under the sun and they dont even know whats going on in her personal life. pple judge her on what they hear in the media and we all knw the media is based on sensationalism mainly. Hold ur head up Riri and pay no mind to the negativity. Oh na na WHATS MY NAME!!
