While earlier reports suggested Rihanna was wrapping up her ‘Rated R’ campaign, fans of the talented model can breathe a sigh of release. According to the latest UK single schedules, the 22 year old is set to release the will.i.am assisted ‘Photographs’ as her next single on May 24th.
Word has it that, thereafter, no further singles will be released from the moderately successful LP. As at writing, it’s unknown whether song will be a general or International release.
————————————————————————-
Though the song isn’t as bad as some of the album’s remaining material, I can’t see how it will capitalise off ‘Rude Boy’s’ worldwide success. It’s neither as instant nor anywhere near as good. It’s times like this which highlight why it would have benefited the ‘Rated R’ project if things weren’t moving so hastily and time was taken with each release. Then again, with the singles not doing much (‘Rude Boy’ aside) and the album struggling to meet sales expectations, her team likely saw it fit to throw as much out there as possible and see what sticks. Whether ‘Photographs’ will indeed ‘stick’ will be interesting to see.
Haven’t heard the track before? Check it out below…

so sick of her!! go jump off a cliff ri ri!
Not good. She should release Rockstar101, but knowing Rude Boy did so well, it should be the one with Justin Timberlake, Hole In My Head.
are you kidding me , she has “Firebomb” “Rockstar 101” & “Cold Case Love” but Photographs smh
I knew this article had to be written by Sam. So damn biased its ridiculous. Rated R was a great album. Not all of your albums are going to fly off the charts. It doesn’t work like that. The album was a success. Not moderately successful. How many artists have three singles off their album peak in the top ten billboard charts? With one already going number one and another on the way. The album is already platinum in the US and UK as well as many other places. How the hell can you call that moderate success?? There are barely any artists that can even do that today so check yourself. Try not to let your clouded opinions of someone you may not like block you from the real truth.
Rated R was a success. She took a chance with the sound and direction and the thing still went platinum, still had a number one hit, and boasted other singles that were in the TOP TEN BILLBOARD CHARTS.
In the words of B***** Sam, “H** SIT DOWN!”
RockStar 101 woulda been a smash.. But this is interesting for someone who is soo bruised and broken, why as your last single release a song about the past!! i.e chris brown. c’mon slim… that gets a side eye like s***… and wasent chris just alowed back on BET. lmao
Firebomb should be the next single IMO. I think it would be such a big hit for her. Although I liked the album as a whole, Photographs isn’t one of my favorite songs.
shouldve been Firebomb that is an instant hit, but Photographs is not bad…
SAM IF YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, WHY HAVENT YOU BEEN OFFERED A JOB??? **CRICKETS CRICKETS***
BECAUSE YOUR OPINIONS ARE WORTH S***
YOU PREDICTED THAT RUDE BOY WOULDN’T SUCCEED
THAT RATED R WOULD FALL OF THE FACE OF THE EARTH
B**** YOUR OPINIONS DONT MATTER. YOU’RE A GOT DAMN BLOGGER AND THATS ALL YOU WILL EVER BE.
man this site is a trip .. ya love o hate ri ri … ya hate her so much .. yet u keep posting every lil move she makes up .. if u hate her so much .. stop posting ri ri … dum asses … u guys are lame asses .. get real jobs u faggets !!!
Ghetto fab
moderate success yes, I mean her billboards are everywhere and she has only “ONE” number 1 mmmmh thats a flop
sam lol…. i c ur still hating even when she has a no 1 song! lol ur so pathetic! the album is at the top 20 of the billboard 200 and ur saying its a failure!, u r a LOSSER
it’ll be interesting how this song does since its so different from the other singles.. i love the song so im imagining a great video
@ WTF,
Russian Roulette 9
Hard 8
Rude Boy 1
How is that moderate success? Most of these artists now are lucky to have 2 damn singles off an album let alone 3 on the billboard Top Ten with one going number 1. The album is still selling yet you call that moderate success lol. I’m beginning to see that most of you have NO CLUE as to what SUCCESS really is! Go educate your damn selves.
After the success of GGGB, Rated R IS a moderate success, even though other artists have made Rated R her best album.
Photographs is my least favorite song on the album. I don’t understand why they’re not releasing Fire Bomb or Rockstar 101. SMH
FIREBOMB was a s***** song, are you kidding me? That doesn’t showcase her voice correctly. Neither does COLD CASE LOVE. I’d agree that she should’ve released ROCKSTAR 101, because Slash is also featured in that song. That would have made different demographics other than urban culture say..’Lol what? That’s Awesome.’
Photographs is a very good song.
Don’t you guys remember how extremely successful she was with releasing more emotional ballads off of Good Girl Gone Bad? EVERYONE was blasting those songs in their CARS. Are you people silly? I think that she’s leaving with Photographs as a note of departure from Rated R, actually. Rated R was a good album, in retrospect. But I noticed that only half of her songs actually stuck out to me. There should have been more of a mixture between the sounds of Rude Boy x Hard on there. Its feisty, yet catchy and powerful.
Sit down, ladies and gentlemen.
This is going to be a hit, relax.
Oh lord. Oh lord. Someone is drunk again.
Where the hell is a release for ‘Fire Bomb’?? It seems her team are doing exactly the same as they did with the fantastic ‘Breakin’ Dishes’.. ugh, she needs me on her team.
Most of her fans asked for Firebomb!
Photographs will go nowhere!
nooooooooooooooo Rockstar 101 should have been the next single or even fire bomb!
album: “Rated R” (2009)
Mad House – **
Wait Your Turn – ** (Wasn’t released properly)

D) Photographs
She ACTUALLY could pull a GGGB and release all four of them.
she did release 7 singles off of her album last time around.
I actually like the song. Not a Rhi Rhi fan, but this is a real good song. Personally, I think it would make a good Fall/Winter release though.
That’s her singing on this song? Sounds like a computer or something. It’s an okay song, maybe because of Rude Boy it will do a little better. Random release to me, Cold Case love is better. But okay!
oMG!!!!!!!! Im so glad this is a single love this song!!!! I think this could be another top ten hit for her . Get em Ri Ri I think her new album is gonna fall into fall/winter while they push this as her last single. Some of you crazy lols this is a great single choice IMO
Did Rihanna steal your man or something?? It really says alot about you as a person when you harbor such hatred and jealousy for a person you don’t (and never will) know. Photographs will be a smash….and yet you will still find a way to bash both the song and the artist. U can keep hating and hating until you get a nosebleed and it won’t affect Rihanna’s career one bit. You should actually love her, since she’s one of the main reasons this blog gets any hits at all.
Fire Bomb is SO GOOD!!! FYI the version of Photographs is sped up on this site.
Truthfully, I hated this song. I listened to and adore her album, but that was the -only- song I didn’t listen to more than once. If she wanted to capitalize off of “Rude Boy”‘s success, she should have gone for “Te Amo”. If she needed to slow things down a bit after that more club-ready song, then “Last Song” would have been a great choice.
Just…anything but this.
Im deffinitely not a Rihanna Stan or even that big of a fan but I did like rated r. Also Hard was a big success and Russian roulette did pretty well too. Ipersonally love G4L but it’s not a single song. Hmm maybe rockstar 101
Not surprising. This is the “Chris Brown song” and she makes a point to bring it up as her favorite from the album.
Don’t see it doing much though. A break up song in the Spring? Really? Then again, it’s totally a B.E.P. sound so…who knows.
TeamFirebomb.
I 100% agree with GHETTOFAB and I’m not even a major fan but this is once again biased Media and the exact type of blog posts that reduce your credibility to that of a http://www.mediatakeout.com whom produces biased Bash posts!
P.S. The Chick Looks Amazing in that pic!
HEY EVERYONE!!!!!
THERES A REALLY STRONG RUMOR RIHANNA IS PERFORMING ROCKSTAR 101 AT THE KID CHOICE AWARDS TONIGHT. HER DANCER TWEETED THE LYRICS.
THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BE HER NEXT SINGLE IN THE UNITED STATES, CONTRARY TO WHAT SAM IS ASSUMING.
ROCKSTAR WAS PLAYED ON GOSSIP GIRL
ROCK STAR WILL HAVE CROSS OVER SUCCESS LIKE RUDE BOY ( RUDE BOY IS ALREADY AT 110 MILLION AUDIENCE IMPRESSIONS AND IS INCREASING ON AVERAGE 3 MILLION A DAY, TOP 10 ON POP AND RB CHART) INNNNNNNNSANE…….SHE WILL MOST LIKELY PASS HER TOP RADIO SONG TAKE A BOW, WHICH PEAKED AT 130MILLION
ROCKSTAR HAS POP RB AND ROCK ELEMENTS. WILL BE A CROSSOVER SUCCESS.
What the hell did WIll.i.Am do to her vocals??? Barely even sounds like her!
Anyways, the song is actually ok, and i don’t normally enjoy Rihanna’s music much, but I think this will do well on the radio.
If her Album was a HUGE Hit like you stans say way are Def Jam pulling the Plug on it and it came out Nov 2009???. I mean it’s not that hard . She’s not even touring in the U.S
The Songs sounds like something Fergie would sing
I really like this song. So I think its a good single choice
@Sam — But you’d not-yet reported ’bout Will.i.Am stealing “Boom Boom Pow”; and now he’s on THIS song with Rihanna. Sam, you need to get on this story, seems like it has merit to it: Will.I.am, while working as A&R, had access to other artists’ material and stole “Boom Boom Pow!” ….And now, he’s on THIS TRACK with Rihanna; …nuff said…..
I think Sam SHOULD work “in the industry”, I think he’s got as-much-insight, and HIS, “finger-on-the-pulse”, much-more-so, than L.A. Reid
….WHAT SAY Y’ALL…..??????
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!
@ BLASIAN
BOO, DEFJAM AINT PULLING THE PLUG ; READ MY POST .
RIHANNA WILL BE RELEASING ROCKSTAR 101 (UNITED STATES) AND PHOTOGRAPHS (UK/EUROPE) , WHICH MEANS THEY WILL PROBABLY SWITCH OVER LATER.
SHES PERFORMING ROCKSTAR TONIGHT AT THE KID CHOICE AWARDS. THANKS BOO
shoulda gone with “FIRE BOMB”
Nicky22
The Fact of the matter is this album underperformed
I actually like her tone on this song. I don’t really see it as “single material” but either way….it’s a different feel for her and her vocals seem to effortlessly ride the zen beat of the song.
What the hell are these people doing? RockStar, Firebomb, Hole In My Head um Cold Case Of Love. So many better options. WOW. They really are that dumb aren’t they.
In all honesty with the situation C.B. the 20/20 interview and all the media hype surrounding the album it coming during 4 quarter in late November. After success of GGGB this latest album is considered a moderate success. I feel like Def Jam is to blame for this because they keep rushing out any and everything to save their sinking ship. But Rihanna should celebrate her accomplishments I would rather have some success then none at all.
Firebomb and Cold Case Love are two of the few songs on the album that showcase her growth as a studio singer. SMH Firebomb would actually make a better single than Rockstar.
WTF, Russian Roulette & Hard were top 10 hits!!! What you mean they ain’t doing much????
Def Jam are so stupid, Rockstar 101 should be the next single!!!!!!
I admit I’m not a fan and I haven’t heard anything from her Rated R,but didn’t she just release *Rude Boy*,you know the song that writing group wrote? Seems kind of quick because Lady GaGa has hit singles that lasted so long but I forget GaGa is out of her league.
@ secret voice…..rude boy was released in early february boo.
did you just not read the date for photographs ?????????????
Almost June. That’s 4 months apart boo…ANYWAYS
ROCKSTAR 101 WILL MOST LIKELY BE RELEASED IN THE UNITED STATES. SHE’S PERFORMING IT TONITE ON THE KID CHOICE.
ROCKSTAR= # 1 SMASH HANDS DOWN
“Chris writing group”
Nicky is it? I’m not a fan of hers so I would be interested in reading it as you seem to be,Thanks so much.
Nicky is it? I’m not a fan of hers so I wouldn’t be interested in reading it as you seem to be,Thanks so much.
Nicky, stop. *rolls eyes*
A lot of yall keep saying Firebomb should be the next single and while I do believe that is the strongest song on the Album I couldn’t bear to hear her perform the song live…AT ALL. Photographs isn’t too hard of a song to sing live so she’ll be more successful in convincing people through live performances to give the recorded song a chance. With Firebomb, the performances would be so bad that no one would want to hear it again cause it’s such a powerful vocal on the recording at the end.
as usual the stans like to take things too damn personally. Sam never said Rated R was a bad album, he said it didnt do good as it should have. thats the truth, u guys can sit here and name all the top 10 or number 1 hits rihanna has on Rated R, it still flopped. it flopped compare to all the other singer, artist out there whos selling 500k, 400k, 300k on their first week, and yet Rihanna whos suppose to be an international superstar, still stuck in the 100k in her first week..
this is her 4th album, that means she should have at least being in the 300k. shes more famous than ever before, and yet her numbers stll showing like she just came out.
u guys are talking about Sam or Trent being biased when it comes to Rihanna, man please, u guys are so far up her ass that anything she does is the s***.
but when its other singers who dropping 200k or 100k, suddenlly theyre a flop to yall.
“Word has it that, thereafter, no further singles will be released from the moderately successful LP.”
@Sam
And just the other day, you were saying that Rude Boy was going to be her last single. You have almost no credibility as far as Rihanna’s concerned.
Anywhoozle, I think releasing Photographs makes a lot of sense because it’s radio friendly and features Will I Am and it will be a nice little song to ride out the summer. I hope and pray that Firebomb is released. None of the top pop females are doing rock music, and it would really set Ri Ri apart from the field. That’s another reason why Rated R is such an awesome album. Lots of variety in the singles.
You know that this is the 17th week that the album is out and it is on top 20 and Good Girl Gone Bad after 17 weeks was 54# right? I dont know what you mean about “sale expectations”.
I think Photographs is a nice song for a single but it wont have the success of Rude Boy that is for sure
and btw, Photographs isnt confirmed
It’s a good catchy song. It almost does not sound like her….the billy goat bleating she does. It could possibly go somewhere. I’m sick of the chick too. I wish she would take her “look at me-whorish ways” and sit down.
yes Rated R sold more in the first week than GGGB, but come on now, lets all be realistic here, Rihanna is only selling s**, at the end of the day, selling s** to sell an album can only go so far, if ur ass doesnt have s*** to back up ur sexxy body, or ur looks, people get bored or lose interest in u quick.
and the stans are making it very hard for anybody to be a fan of rihanna..u always got to be a hater if u dont like her, or her songs..
I hope her next album does better than RATED R if not she needs to take a break.
Photograph is actually a decent song, not single worthy but decent.
I actually love Russian Roulette and Rude Boy..
next time, she needs to come harder what shes being doing. she needs to relax in her live shows, stop being so stiff.
nooo i was hoping for cold case love, i hate photographs smh
rihanna stans have no life, they are anti-social ppl worshiping strangers
i said it before and ill say it again, love riri but her dumbass stans are annoying as f***
i’m not a riri stan, but this is kind of how i see it…
i think rushing the singles is what killed the album (and is one of the reasons that the music industry has been struggling). it’s still been pretty successful with three top tens and a number one, but the reason the good girl gone bad had so much legs is that her singles all lasted a long time on the charts. granted, she had a re-release and whatnot, but every single was out for a while before the next one and given time to grow.
with rated r, it seems like they keep firing away trying to get an instant number one instead of album sales. def jam seems to think that just because it’s a rihanna song, it should be top ten/five/number one and that’s not how it works. you still have to “work” a single and give it time to grow, especially since the content on rated r is a bit darker/less instant than good girl gone bad.
“rude boy” did really well because it’s the type of catchy, lightweight pop music that rihanna does well. if she had an album like that, she would be doing better than she is now, obviously, but still. rihanna’s the type of artist whose success goes along with her singles. if you pull the plug on a single before it peaks or before giving it a chance, you’re just self-sabotaging.
I have always wanted “Photographs” to be a single because for one, it is instantly relatable and anyone who has ever been in a relationship can identify with the “one that got away”…This song is wonderful and I am glad that this will be the last single. It’s quite appropriate when you think about it. The songs is about looking back on all the times you had with the person you used to be in love with and wanting to go back to then but also not wanting to dwell on it and just let it be…This will be a big hit if Rihanna has an a amazing video to go with it. Also, it fits perfectly. We had a bleak dark ballad as the first officail single, a DIVA-fied “I will survive” anthem with “Hard” and a s*** “I’m having fun right now” vibe with “Rude Boy”. Now she just has to close the chapter with “Photographs” and move on. It’s genius and perfect way to end the Rated R era…Though I know they are gonna do a Rated R reloaded album with new uptempo dance tracks with the first single being the one with The Pen. It’s gonna be hott.
If Def Jam keeps releasing singles rapid-fire, it makes them seem desperate. She finely got a number 1, well she should have gotten one. The girl has had four albums, been in the game for years, and millions of dollars pumped into her promotion. Her albums should have multiple number 1’s, she’s a pop star and that’s what they do. They have singles, not quality albums.
They are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the public trying to get people to go and get that album. People aren’t really feeling it like that, nor are they feeling her at this time.
Once she changes up that image and throws all the spiked clothing and black make-up in the trash, people will be buying her albums like hot-cakes. Don’t fix it, if it ‘aint’ broke!
As usual I see fools will believe anything these days. There is no confirmation that this is the next single. And I love how you people call this album a flop when your favorite artist hasn’t sold 300k and is no where to be found on the charts. That’s to you Sam. I can’t stand biased ass people. You say Rihanna has no talent, but your dumbass keep posting about her. Give the people you feel have talent the shine on this biased ass blog. Cuz you seem to post Rihanna more then them.
@RATED X
B**** JUMP OFF A CLIFF
RIHANNA STILL PUSHING ALBUMS
EVEN WITH A DARK ASS ALBUM….WHEN YOUR FAVORITE CAN DO THAT, LET ME KNOW.
SHE’S #12 ON ITUNES ,BOUT TO BE BACK IN THE TOP 10
RIHANNA CAN SING ANY GENRE OF SONG AND IT WILL BE A HIT
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! They shouldve gone with Fire Bomb, Te Amo or Stupid Inn Love in that order. SMH
Nicky22- YOURE SILLY… ANY GENRE THO. You must not have heard her sing ‘HERO’ in that YOUTUBE clip LOL… MOVING ON…
OF ALL THE SONGS ON RATED R- I HATE THIS ONE…. Firebomb or Rockstar101 are much better choices. Rihanna’s trying to stir away from this ‘dark image’ however I dont see anything ‘DARK’ about. ADULT yes DARK no… shes singing s*** she wants to hear herself… but PHOTOGRAPHS …. WHACK
UMMMM…”FIREBOMB” OR “TE AMO” DUMBASSES @ DEF JAM!!! “ROCKSTAR 101” & “PHOTOGRAPHS” ARE S***** ASS FILLERS S*** SHE WOULD BE BETTER OFF RELEASING “MAD HOUSE”.
I DON’T TOO MUCH CARE FOR THIS CHICK BUT “FIREBOMB” IS A BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN RECORD AND SHE DOES IT JUSTICE, SO I WOULD HATE FOR IT TO GO TO WASTE.
@ Rated X
Uhg, girl/boy take a seat. You ALWAYS have something to say about a Rihanna post and then you ALWAYS bring up Rihanna’s “stans”. You’re such a hater. Not because you obviously don’t like Rihanna (nobody cares), but because you go so hard finding everything and making up the most ridiculous reasons. Okay fine you said she’s selling s**. HELLO? EVERYONE in the industry from Beyonce to Gaga, to Chris Brown, to Mariah, the same can be said. Are you calling them out too? Or are you simply blinded by your hate and consequent obsession with Rihanna. Why the double standard? You’re so annoying. And you’re going to come back on here and call me a stan or what not simply because i see through your b*******. Get a LIIIIIIIFE.
OMG…THE THOUGHT OF HEARING “STUPID IN LOVE” CONSTANTLY ON THE RADIO WOULD SEND ME TO MY DEATH BED…JUST NO!!!
@ Sam
Its true Will.I am and his group stole boom boom pow , I saw it on entertainment tonight.
This album is not successfull, you guys are just …… look at bey when she releases an album she is everywhere and sells like crazy, but sorry rih i dont see you trying hard enough. Chris must be sitting somewhere laughing at you.
All I have to say is…I like RIhanna,,,,I like her music…She is beautiful ….so yeah…people are gonna hate, that’s how it is…..don’t understand why people are fighting everyone has their opinions doesnt mean they are right does it ? Samantha posts abour Rihanna because she knows she is popular on this site, On a weekly basis there is at least 10 or less Rihanna posts and it’s been that way since this crummy “BLOG” began….I love Rihanna and even im gettin sick of the constant posts, there are hundreds of music artists in the world and everytime i come here all I see on the site is RIHANNA, RIHANNA, RIHANNA, give it a break samantha and post about somthing else for once, if you don’t like Rihanna give us something else to read ??? smh
I totally cosign with DANBOFFICIAL. lol @ “samantha”
photograph could be a smash in europe,i love it!!!
rockstar101 will do better in america
photographs is not good at all. she should try te amo it sounds better. however rude boy is really good. ri ri what happened? you used to blow me off untill umbrella. thereafter i really don’t know baby you throw me up and let me fall. pls make me stable baby.
OMG I AM A BIG RIHANNA FAN
BUT
I AM SOOO PISSED OFF AT THIS SINGLE CHOICE AND THE RIHANNA FANS WHO PUSHED FO IT (BECUASE THEY FIGURED IT WOULD GET HER THE #1) ….F** NO!!!
IT SHOULDNT BE ABOUT WHETHER A SONG WILL GO NUMBER 1 OR NOT IT SHOULD BE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE RECORD AND FIRE BOMB, COLD CASE LOVE AND EVEN ROCKSTAR 101 WOULDVE BEEN BETTER CHOICES……PHOTOGRAPHS SOUNDS TOO MUCH LIKE WHATS ALREADY OUT AND IVE RATHER HER RELEASED ONE OF THEM!!!! F** F** F**!!!!
COLD CASE LOVE —- BEST TRACK ON THE ALBUM, HEARTFELT, AND WOULD SURELY GET RECOGINIZED! WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUD BY JT SURELY DID AND WENT #1!!!!
FIRE BOMB — ONE WORD “EPIC”
AND ROCKSTAR 101 WOULDVE BEEN GREAT FOR THE SUMMER.
BUT PHOTOGRAPHS?!?! AN EASILY FORGOTTEN SONG…NOT THAT GREAT, IM SORRY.
I HOPE I GET PROVEN WRONG THOUGH…SIGH
@Gucci
did u see in any shape or formed I acknowledge your presence?
thats a NO.. if you dont like my comments about Rihanna, shut the f*** up and keep it moving..its stans like you who proves my point about always starting s***, and making harder for anybody to give a s*** bout Rihanna.
where in any of my comments did I say rihanna selling s** is bad, or that shes the only artist whos selling it/? I said people like rihanna shouldnt rely on selling s** only to sell an album..
I need a life ok..am not the one on here whos constently calling people haters, knowing full damn well this is not a rihanna fan site..
@Nicky22..
it hurts doesnt it, to see ur precious rihanna flopping left and right..thats all u can do is call me a b****..if that makes ur ass feel more fulfill, go head call me a b****..lol
at the end of the day, rihanna still wont know who the f*** u r..
its the same s*** over and over again with the stans..”oh u must be ugly or a b**** if u dont like or worship the ground rihanna walks on.
last time I checked this is not a rihanna fan site, so people like me can say what the f*** they wanna say. I’m the consumer (meaning for the slow ass stans, i’m the person rihanna is trying to sell an album to), so that means I can either hate her album, like some of the songs.i dont have to constently be in her c*** for me to be fan of hers.
if u guys hate Sam or Trent so damn much dont come on here and stress ur little self out.
u guys already know how we HATERS feel bout rihanna, so either shut the f*** up and keep it moving, or go create ur own rihanna fan club.
I hope Sam is not the Trinidadian. I really hope not.
So full of unnecessary hate every time I visit this damn site. I always visit another site for an alternative opinion on mostly anything…ALWAYS.
@RATED X
Listen girl, I don’t give a f*** about your opinion. I can call b******* when need be and if you don’t like it then I’ll gladly pull out a chair so you can sit your whack ass the f*** down. But from reading some of your comments, half of the time your tongue is in Chris Browns ass! You’re a closet Chris Brown STAN and you accuse everyone else of being a stan. That’s my first problem. Secondly, why must you ALWAYS get on every single Rihanna post and talk s***? You leave at least 3 or 4 comments talking s*** every single time. Common sense can tell you if you don’t like the girl, why do you go to her posts, talk s***, and then comment when people defend her like they have no right to do so? But when someone hops on a Chris Brown posts and talk s***, your panties are always in a bunch. Girl, BYE. You are a HATER and you can jump right in the trash bin along with Chris Brown.
Photographs is a nice enough listen for maybe 1 or 2 times but Its rather generic, its Not Single Material, Its too BEP, Its like shes featured on the song & not the other way around.
& What happened to FIRE BOMB?? Her (Producers) Best song Ever. CCL, Photographs & Rockstar are S*** compared to Fire Bomb…
(Stats: RR Sold less than 1 Million in the States & Less than 2 Million worldwide= Moderately Successful)
Im literally going to write Def Jam a letter. Cuz their whole handling of Rated R & Rihanna in general is just plain S-T-U-P-I-D !!!!!! & while im at it, ill throw in some complaints about mishandling Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel..Lol
but im o so serious….
maybe i should start a petition, the same way pressed h*** started a petition asking Beyonce to re-do her Deja Vu video in 2006 after it premiered (boy, who were they kidding ? lol)
But here’s how u know Def Jam is just …..uggggggghhhh… (cant even think of a decent enough word to describe them)…but Rated R is a very conceptual, dark & deep album—no doubt Rihann’a most personal and best effort. However, they want to move on to a more pop-dance sound because that is whats “hot” right now, which is why theyre rushing out a new album…
Ummmmm, why would u want your artist to be just like everyone else? Why is it that when someone is just a tad bit different from the norm and shows some success in doing so, money hungry execs dust it off and are ready to make a quick buck by following the robotic in-crowd? its things like this that make the music industry so not about MUSIC!! its so fake, manipulated, manufactured, and MONEY GREEDY. Its really sad how things are going with pop music today. And everytime i think about these things, LA Reid’s grim grinning smucker face always pops in my head, idk why LOL.
ALBUM FILLER. BEEN THERE DONE THAT. NOTHING SPECIAL. SOUNDS LIKE ALL THE OTHER AMERICAN IDOL TRACKS WE’VE HEARD. SMH.
k first of all this sounds remastered alot. nevertheless its a nice song, but its a very generic song. rated r was a good album, but i think rihanna marketabillity is decreasing as she constantly changes it up (which is a good thing) and leaves it very hard to create new eras.
I like photograph but i think firebomb is way better
I THINK PUTTING OUT ‘PHOTOGRAPHS’ IS A VERY SMART MOVE BY RIHANNA AND HER TEAM. IT WAS ORIGINALLY A BLACK EYED PEAS TRACK SO IT HAS THAT WHOLE EURO POP DANCE FEEL TO IT AND EVERYBODY LOVES BEP SO WHY WOULDN’T THEY WANT TO CAPITALIZE FROM IT. I JUST HOPE IT’S RELEASED WORLDWIDE AND NOT JUST OVERSEAS BECUASE I TRULY BELIEVE IT COULD BE A BIG HIT ALL OVER THE WORLD.
AND YOU KNOW THE ONLY REASON THERE RUSHING THIS SINGLE IS BECAUSE THEY PREDICT THAT ‘RUDE BOY’ WILL BE OUT OF THE TOP 10 BY THE TIME ‘PHOTOGRAPHS’ IS RELEASED AND THEN THEY’LL GIVE ‘PHOTOGRAPHS’ A GOOD THREE MONTHS (MAY, JUNE, JULY) TO SUCCEED AND THEN BY AUGUST/SEPTEMBER WE’LL BE HEARING A NEW RIHANNA SINGLE FROM HER FIFTH ALBUM. I GUARANTEE YOU.
Will I am shouldn’t have done that to her voice because it’s almost unrecognizable. And I like this song, I just don’t think it’s single material. I think “FireBomB” would be best, although I think “Rude Boy” is the best song as far as appeal, chart performance, radio play, live performing, etc. It would have also been a great transition from “Rude Boy” to her new up-tempo album.
The album, was amazing everytime i come on here ppppl thro so much shade @ rihanna the album is collectivly amazingf to me bt we all hav our opinions..RIHANNAS STILL GNA MAKE MONEY REGARDLESS!!
