Spoiled for choice or a muddled mess? Either way it appears Rihanna and her team have been having some difficulty choosing the next single from her ‘Rated R’ LP.
After initially going with ‘Photographs’, the model’s ever-reliable fansite Rihanna Daily are now reporting that Spanish-flavoured ‘Te Amo’ will serve as the project’s next (and likely final) single. To kick off the promotional campaign for the song, Rihanna will be performing it on American Idol this coming Tuesday.
——————————————————–
Though not screaming ‘hit’ in any way, shape, or form, ‘Te Amo’ is admittedly one of the less offensive-sounding tracks on Ms. Fenty’s ‘Rated R’ record. Although, I do find it a little curious that her team switched the single to ‘Te Amo’ (which is likely to appeal to the Latino audience) when Lady GaGa had long confirmed that she is set to release ‘Alejandro’ (also Spanish-tinged) in the same period. I’m just saying…
Anyway, for those who haven’t heard ‘Te Amo’, check it out below:
all these hit singles and still the album is falling down the charts she the female flo-rida
poor thing
“Te Amo” is the closest song on the album after “Rude Boy” to channel her previous island flavor which is what really set her off into success. They’re likely doing this because the more dark and angsty songs i.e Russian Roulette didn’t hit off as well as they thought they would. I doubt it has as much to do with Gaga as it has to do with common sense.
Rihanna used to sing much better than she does currently (check “Rehab” during the Glow in the Dark tour) but her time off made her rusty and she didn’t have the conviction to sell the angsty songs so they’re going back to something that’s a bit easier for her. I approve. “Te Amo” is a nice cut.
@ MOVIEMAN
b****, the album is at 2 million sold boo and counting.
still smashing the world charts. thank you very much.
Still in the top 20 in the united states. moving up the charts next week and even further after her american idol performance.

FLO RIDA sold less than 1 million albums TOTAL dumbass. know your facts
@ SAM
its not the final single boo.
Te amo will smash the Europe charts and do well in hispanic markets. Its very radio friendly and will ride the momentum of rude boy.
Hmmmmm lets see………… rude boy is at 131 Million audience impressions. Didnt you say that telephone is going #1 in the united states??????? B**** YOU WERE WRONG , just like youre wrong about te amo being a soso song……IT WAS # 1 IN BRAZIL AND SOME LATIN COUNTRIES LAST YEAR WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL RELEASE. KNOW YOUR FACTS
TE AMO WILL DO WELL IN THE UK AND UNITED STATES
GREAT SUMMER SONG

I love this song! I’m glad she’s going with this. (:
rihanna recorded this song way before lady gaga did alejandro boo.
again, you dont know your facts……
Te Amo has over 11 million views and latin countries played it alot last summer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYVL1tjN3PE
LMAO.
Te Amo is not Spanish flavoured, “Te Amo” is Portuguese for I love you.
In Spanish its te quiero, something like that.
I like TGJ but the way you are blatantly biased against certain artists is just LAME, seriously, you are on way to becoming a pro but not like this. Just post the facts and realistic opinions, there’s no need for shade.
WTF SAM AND TRENT. YOU F****** F*** GO AGAIN WITH THE RIHANNA BASHING. U IDIOTS ARE FROM ACCROSS THE POND SO I DOUBT U WOULD REALLY KNOW WHATS GOING ON WITH AMERICAN MUSIC. RATED R HAS SOLD 2MILLION COPIES WORLDWIDE FAGGET. SO WAT ITS FALLING OFF THE CHARTS, SHE IS ALREADY IN THE MIDDLE OF RECORDING A BRAND NEW F****** RECORD. DONT COMPARE HER TO GAGA….2 DIFFERENT F***** ARTISTS. IF YOU REALLY DONT LIKE RIHANNA THAT MUCH, WHY THE FUCKKKKKK DO YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE POSTS ABOUT HER. IN ALL ACTUALITY, I THINK BOTH OF YOU FAGGETS ARE SECRETLY OBSESSD WITH HER. AND IF NOT, DONT YOU REALIZE THAT BY CONTINUING TO MAKE POSTS ABOUT HER (GOOD OR BAD) YOU ARE STILL KEEPING HER NAME IN YOU GUYS S****/N** FILLED MOUTHS??? GET OVER IT….13 MILLION ALBUMS SOLD WORLDWIDE IN ONLY 5 YEARS….SO SHE CANT SING APPARENTLY?? DEAD F****** WRONG…OWN UP 2 IT YOU GAY B******…SHE IS ON TOP…AND WILL CONTINUE 2 BE…SO GO STICK EACHOTHERS D**** UP UR ASSES, YOU GAY F***** F** BAGS!!!!!!
How could they choose Te Amo over Photographs is beyond me! She sounded good for once on the latter and it’s one of my favs on the album! Ohhh Ok i’ll never be a rihanna fan i guess
@ AJ
15.5 Million and counting
She will be way over 20 million when the 5th monster dance album’s era is complete.
RIHANNA IS KNOWN FOR THE DANCE AND POP HITS
TE AMO, RUDE BOY = DANCE HITS
pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff WHAT’S HER PrOBLEM ??? PHoTOGRAPH WAS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE WITH A HIT mAKER Will.I.AM…..Te Amo???? TE AMO??? WHY???? WHY????
I’ve gotta admitt it! there’s a link with GaGA!!!! IS she crazy???
I am not sure if I would choose Te Amo as the next single, but that is what I like about Rihanna – she takes risks.
I think it will still be a smash (Well duh – it’s Rihanan for goodness sakes!), and hopefully her American Idol performance will be very good.
I doubt Lady GaGa has anything to do with this (TSK – Lady GaGa mentioned AGAIN!), I just think they are trying to fit the song into the right market.
I really want RiRi’s team to re-release Rated R and put Hole In My Head on it! Or Def Jam PLEASE release Hole In My Head on the next album!
But anyway – I doubt this will be the last single because she is on a world tour this year so she needs another single to keep things going!
The new album will prob be released at the end of the year.
And, RiRi, please doin’t do a Caribbean theme to the new album! You have already done that so I want to see you do something different! I think robotic/futuristic would be a good theme (it doesn’t have to be dark to be futuristic!)
Or, maybe combine Caribbean with futuristic, similar to what Kanye West did with his Love Lockdown video (but the whole album) – that would be good!X

YAY! Nicky22 is BACK! BACK! BACK!
Now, I can irritate.
So what if Rihanna has sold 45 millions records in 5 years? LADY GAGA has sold 35 million in not even two.
Sold stop clutching at straws and realise that whilst Rihanna is majoosive now, Lady GaGa will steam-roll her androgynous ass all up and down that b****** face after the release of her next album.
As for Flo Rida, one hit single on his albums, the rest flop.
And it’s funny how you say we don’t know our facts, buuuuuuuut ‘Alejandro’ was first recorded for ‘The Fame’, all the way back in 2008. Which, no matter what way you cut it, is before Rihanna went and tried to imitate it.
Mind you, the song is good, and most people won’;t see these two releases as a competition, they’ll just enjoy it because they’re getting good music from two big music superstars, which will be beteter than any of the s*** Jay Sean, Justin Bieber or Taio Cruz is churning out.
Tbh though, in my personal opinion, ‘Te Amo’ doesn’t hold a candle to ‘Alejandro’.
JOSHUABUZZ
what the f*** are you talking bout? te amo is spanisch
te quiero means i want you…its from querer
te amo means i love and is from amar…
stupid hater
This is a big mistake. I mean the song came out almost over a year ago. Then they threw it on the album and didn’t bother changing anything about it.
I do think releasing ‘Te Amo’ has something to do with ‘Alejandro’ being Gaga’s next single. But if Def Jam, and Rihanna’s team were smart they’d do the opposite of what Gaga and her team are doing and release ‘Photographs’. One-because of it’s BEP influence which right now would guarntee a hit. And two-because it’s one of the album’s better songs.
And if not, Photographs then they could have chosen anything but Te Amo. I’m a huge Rihanna and wanna see her succeed beyond her ability. And with this being the next single I just don’t that happening. If anything this would be a step back. Right now, she’s Def Jam’s shining star and they should play smarter power moves when concerning her. LA Reid, especially because his job is on the line and if anything he needs for everything she does is perfect. And releasing a song from a year ago is the wrong move. I really hope they re consider
HEY YOU F** PHOTOGRAPHS WAS NEVER CONFIRMED AS THE NEXT SINGLE, RIHANNA DAILY NEVER POSTED NOTHING ABOUT IT, YOU ARE SUCH A NOOB LMAO, YEAH ALEJANDRO WILL FLOP AND TE AMO WILL BE A HIT, DEAL WITH IT BUT STOP WITH THE LIES

YOU DONT HAVE A MORE VERSATILE ARTIST THEN RIHANNA ATM, REGGAETON INSPIRED – RUDE BOY ; DEEP BALLAD – RUSSIAN ROULLETE COLD CASE LOVE & THE LAST SONG ; URBAN – HARD, G4L & WAIT YOUR TUN; ROCK – ROCKSTAR & FIRE BOMB ; POP – PHOTOGRAPHS & STUPID IN LOVE.
SO WHAT IF IT IS A FLOP, IT’S ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS SINCE 2000 AND IT IS UNDERRATED, GO LISTEN TO YOUR BUBBLEGUM POP AND ELECTRO POP LMAO
Te Amo is an EXCELLENT choice.
the Will.i.am track isnot single material in my opinion.
WELL DONE RIHANNA for making the right choice!
Lady GaGa is also versatile.
‘Paper Gangsta’ – R&B/Urban (which, as mentioned before, shits all over Rihanna)
‘Summerboy’, – Soft Rock (very Blondie)
‘Speechless’, ‘Brown Eyes’ – Rock Ballads (very Queen)
‘Poker Face’, ‘Bad Romance’, etc. – Dance
‘Eh, Eh, (Nothing Else I Can Say)’, ‘Teeth’ – Cross-Genre
So, all in all, Lady GaGa can do everything Rihanna can. But Rihanna can’t do everything Lady GaGa can do: Rihanna can’t write songs. Nor can she write hooks.
None of her songs contain BIG hooks. Maybe the odd vocal hook like in ‘Rude Boy’, ‘Disturbia’ (her best yet) and ‘S.O.S’, but that’s it tbh. She still didn’t write them.
As if there’s any question as to why that is.
Im glad she has decided to change singles “photographs,” was boring besides his own work i hate most of will.i.am’s produced tracks. Also what has Lady GaGa got to do with anythin, i’m sure they changed the single because of other reasons kmt

COMMENTS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED
i love rihanna
@…
Te Amo is from brazillian portuguese too but in the song she means it in spanish so yeah, you are right, but joshua isnt wrong too
LMAO at @nicky22
calm down, people have their opinions, all i see is your ugly mush on these rihanna posts making rihanna out to be this super super super star. i love her, but face the facts boo!
I guess, but I can see this being one those songs that fades into the background (its not bad but you dont really pay attention to it when it comes on the radio)…I want “Firebomb”
Oh, but I thought Rude Boy was supposed to be the final single? And just the other day TGJ said Photographs was going to be the next single, even despite Rihanna’s camp saying that she was performing Te Amo on American Idol. Can’t you queens ever get it right?
I like Te Amo, but I didn’t think it would be released because the song had been leaked way before Rated R. It will be another top ten in the US and UK, know that! I know BEP’s on tour, and from a logistics standpoint, it may not have been possible to get Will I Am to shoot the video and do promo for Photographs.
I just hope that one of the rock tracks, preferrably Firebomb, gets released before her next project.
Gaga’s released songs all sound alike. Rihanna’s showing versatility with the tracks she releases. Hard, Russian Roulette, Rude Boy, Te Amo (?) all have a different mood and tempo.
Haters tried to write Rihanna off after “Hard” and “Rude Boy’s” been #1 worldwide and in the US for three weeks now. Haters Stay Mad . . .
How do you say “I DON’T HAVE H*****,” in either Spanish OR Portuguese?
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!
Sam, you are such a f****** pompous b******!
Rihanna never confirmed that she would release Photographs, a UK website said it would be the next single but Rihanna or her team never confirmed it!
How do you say “I DON’T HAVE H*****,” in either Spanish OR Portuguese?
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!
_________________
@XYZ
Probably a little differently than how you would say, “If I have h*****, I got it from Chris Brown.”
SMH, When all else fails, resort to h***** rumors . . .
Anyway, shouldn’t you be writing to your local radio station begging on behalf of CB to play his songs?
Her team wants to play the “Stargate” card. They produced her number one hit “Rude Boy” and “Te Amo” too. I think “Te Amo” will have the same success and effect, Beyoncé’s “Sweet dreams” had.
The track hit the net last year, everybody is familiar with it. Even radios played it, way before Rihanna released Rated R.
Thaaaannnk God she is releasing Te-Amo mwahahahah
I HATTTTE Photographs it is sooo boring i really don’t like it at all
Te Amo i think is a great song it just sets the mood and you can also dance too it!
im soo excited i think it can be a top 5 or even better #1 but we will have to see how the radio like it!
but i rather her release Te-amo than photographs!!
Now NEXT ROCKSTAR101¬
I think its stupid to release a song that we’ve already played to death…IDIOT… With every album u need a few slow singles to versatile ur performances, RR was very nice, and den it went staright to wait ur turn, hard, rude boy, now TE AMO!!!? Photographs is a BEEEAUTIFULL song, heck FIREBOMB IS DA S***…If she doesnt release fire bomb she’ll be the dumbest singles chooser since CIARA who stupidly didnt make HIGH PRICE, GIRL 4rm A to Z and KEEP DANCING ON ME as singles. What the F#$% is wrong with these celebrities and choosing good songs dat you’ve already freakin made. ITS SO SIMPLE RIRI, GO TO UR FAN PAGES AND C DAT WE’RE ALL DYING FOR FIRE BOMB, s*** THE VIDEO WUD B SO COOL LIKE A MINI MOVIE… 🙂 You beta start using your brain or else i aint gonna b ur fan, and im gonna wait 4 BEYONCE’S album thank u…
SAM’S POSTS ARE ALWAYS FILLED WITH ERRORS
SHES PERFORMING ON WEDNESDAY
ACCURACY AND THAT GRAPE JUICE JUST DONT MIX
They didn’t switch the single, you just had bad information the first time around.
@#OddOne:
GAGA MIGHT BE VERSATILE BUT SHE ONYL RELEASES THE SAME DANCE SONGS WHILE RIHANNA HAS THE BALLS TO RELEASE THE URBNA SONGS; ROCK SONGS; DANCE SONGS; BALLADS; RNB SONGS; DANCE SONGS; REAGGAE SONGS; LATIN SONGS ETC::
THIS SONG IS A HIT
TO SAY LADY GAGA INSPIRED IT OR SHES TRYING TO DO LATIN BC OF GAGA
SWEETYS THE SONG LEAKED BEFORE ALEJANDRO AND THEIR ALBUM CAME OUT ON THE SAME DAY; SO HOW COULD SHE GET ISNPOIRED FOR A LATIN SONG WHEN IT WAS OUT AT THE SAME TIME LADY GAGAS WAS
DUMMIES
TA IS A HIT
STAY MAD WACK HATAS
SHE DIDNT RELEASE PHOTOGRAPHS BC SHE ALREADY RELEASED DANCE SONGS BEFORE GAGA
GAGA IS TWO YEARS LATE
Well Beyonce done it Before Both the Latin Mark lol
Well it is Funny how both are releasing that type of song.
Te Amo sucks ass!!!
Why not cold case love or firebomb wtf def jam?!? And why hasn’t her album reached platinum yet in the U.S.? smh Rated R is seriously underrated
She’s doing good with her singles but her album is not selling s*** for her name, it’s disappointing i wish her all the success tho
i wanna see the video to Te Amo, i hope it will be good
Te Amo is a million times better than Alejandro. Sorry, Gaga. And yes, I do like Gaga.
I love Cold Case Love…she should release that as her last single. I can’t believe how bad Rated R is selling even though all of her singles are hits. And I’m the biggest Gaga fan out there, but even I have to admit when a song is better than Gaga’s, and Te Amo is better than Alejandro. But for people saying that Rihanna wasn’t insipired by Alejandro, SHE IS!!! Alejandro was written in 2008, WAY BEFORE THE LEAK OF TE AMO. It’s pretty obvious why the chose Te Amo over Photographs, they realized that every song Gaga churned is a hit, so they wanna copy to keep her failing album afloat. Even Gaga fans like me wish that Gaga would change up her music because they are all similar. Ra-ra-ra, p-p-p-pokerface, m-m-m-monster, eh-eh, ju-ju-ju-just dance, papa-paparazzi. But if it aint broken, dont fix it
No point in coming here to speak on Sam and Trent’s hating anymore. Haters gon be haters till the day their negativity kills them.
Just coming on to correct Sam’s lies. Rihanna Daily did NOT report that Te Amo is likely the final single. But nice if you to make sure you had SOME way of throwing shade at Rihanna.
Rude Boy is still gaining a 3 million audience each day. B**** has been #1 for 3 weeks now, and is guaranteed a 4th.
WHO MAD?
YOU MAD?
STAY MAD.
@Monte I don’t think it really matters. Just because Gaga wrote it in 2008 DOESN’T mean any of Rihanna’s people heard it. You’re acting like someone heard wind of Alejandro and was like “Oh s*** Rih, we gotta do something like that NOW”.
I’m pretty sure both camps new nothing of eachothers songs. Lol. To me it would make more sense for Rihanna to do something latin inspired than Gaga anyway.
I think this is a pretty solid choice. They want something that’s gonna play well over the summer, keep the vibe of Rude Boy, and keep Rihanna in good spirits. Plus..if it were the last single..it would be a good transition into a happier next album.
PLUS…it really is a S*** song…and the video should be fire if done right!
LMAO @ The Rihanna Stans coming here as if they OWN this site . AlI I got to say is SWITCHES pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!
To all people who are GaGa fans,please don’t even entertain explaining ish to a fool that try to compare a flop to a diamond because GaGa has sold 10,000,000 and counting!
I LMAO at these delusional fools that try to say a bird that can’t sing is versatile.Will someone pick me up off the floor because ” I’m laughing and I can’t get back up”.
This is what stupid desperate fools that whine all day long about Rihanna fail to understand…..Many of the ‘Whites’ you think support ET are supporting GaGa.You are too stupid to see that many were only against Chris because he’s Black,not because they cared about ET.Those same Whites I speak of don’t have ish to say about The White man Charlie Sheen.You fools are just props that carry on their cause,carry on fools….
ET Stans fail to understand that the more an audience “you say” Rude Boy gains,the more Chris gets paid,LMAO.
RATED R REVIEW
1.Mad House- Dark, nice song but not single material. 2.5/10
2.Wait Your Turn- Very good song, also dark 50 plays on my iPod lol 7/10
3.Hard-Good single choice showed how versatile she is. 8/10
4.Stupid In Love-Slow dumb dull ugh! Obviously about Chris…hate it 2/10
5.Rockstar 101-Nice Hip-Hop/Rock feel has hit potential. 7/10
6.Russian Roulette-…….please pull the trigger lol. 6/10
7.Fire Bomb-Instant Hit should of been chosen as the first single if she performed this on american idol I have no doubt in my mind it’d replace rude boy at #1
8.Rude Boy-LOVE!!!!! Argueably the best song on the album, definitly a summer song maybe even released too early? 10/10
9.Photographs-Beautiful song definitly a fall transitioning into winter song after you’ve lost your summer love lol. Could do without will.I.am actually(it sounds alot like ushers new song OMG also featuring/produced by will.I.am) 9.5/10
10.G4L-Eh decent song no hit potential al wouldn’t even crack the top 40 charts. 2/10
11.Te Amo-Aside from rude boy this song also screams summer, major hit potential with a sensual video, but sadly it won’t top the raunchy rude boy. Brilliant single choice I say hit!!!!(lady gaga’s alejandro will most likely do better has more of a Spanish feel) 9/10
12.Cold Case Love-Rehab part 2..I LOVE IT beautiful song deserves to be released with a beautiful/emotional video HIT!!!!!!!! 11/10 🙂
13.The Last Song-Good song actually very sad good song for the end of the summer after you’ve all lost your summer lovers hahaha has major hit potential should be released after Te Amo. And as the title states it should be THE LAST SONG released off of Rated R to wrap up a great album. 9/10
**For true music fans everyone would appreciate this album..music style to lyrics beautiful well worth $9
Singles should be
-Russian Roulette
-Hard
-Rude Boy
-Te Amo
-Fire Bomb or Last Song
Gaga sold 10 million?!? Oh s*** i just checked on Wikipedia and its true
wow thats amazing! go gaga lol (btw this post has nothing to do with her just saying…)
@Reasonable Voice — Come-now; that …..”scar(cough: H***** sore)” was seen, as-far-back, as early ’07; LONG-BEFORE Chris had the “unfortunate-occurrence” of meeting HER, and JUST-AFTER, SHE, was seen with Shia Laboeouf AND Josh Hartnett; and if YOU didn’t know: “H***** is young-Hollywood’s not-so-open secret!!!” <<–And that's some REAL-REAL-REAL TALK!!!
…But how do you continue to "sell p****", and still have to 'explain-away', that oft-occurring h***** sore – that frequents your top lip? But you know what? …Here's what I predict: Some "enterprising-blogger," will post THAT picture of Rihanna, with said sore – in FULL effect – when it comes time for HER World Tour! …Now THAT will be some SERIOUS "kill-joy": Rihanna – AGAIN – having to explain that …."SCAR"!
X,Y,"and Z" — OUT!
— The thing about “Te Amo” is that it has the POTENTIAL to be a single that eventually grows on you. I’m just thinking in terms of the season choice. I can see why “Rude Boy” is doing so well right now. Its spring, the kids are out on break this week and some will be over the next month or so and its a very..”STFU AND PARTY YOUR ASS OFF AND GET LAID” – tune.
I’m actually a bit disappointed that Rihanna “might” be considering Te Amo over Photographs. Like someone recently stated..The fact that BEP is easily dominating the charts right now (Before Rude Boy, “imma be” kept hitting #1 like a boxing champ), would give Photographs a lot of leverage considering Will.I.Am being on there. Photographs grew on me very, very easily and i played the HELL out of that song on my iTunes. It feels like “Rehab” all over again. Rihanna’s pretty good with slow ballads. But at the same time, I really don’t think that this is the right time to release it right now.
Everything slow fits within a certain season or within a certain break off period. Also, I’m wondering if Ri’s team DID consider releasing Te Amo on account of Gaga’s Alejandro single. Don’t be ignorant when it comes to the music industry. If an artist’s album isn’t doing so well or has a history of it, then the team will step in to start making the decisions in fear of the lack of sales resulting in them falling off the label. Look at Mariah Carey’s recent album. We all know that she’s incredible with long, soulful ballads that have catchy hooks or at least some fun ones with a bit of meaning. Her releasing that song with Nicki Minaj was a play on the industry in order to use Nicki and the new ‘edge’ to get air play. It reeeeally didn’t go so well. Then you have Christina’s last album flop as well. At least she tried.
I’m not saying that its a FOR SURE thing that Ri’s team is releasing Te Amo because of that, but anything is a possibility. But at the same time, the releases of each song are definitely a change of pace of each artist. Everyone rocked out to “Hard, Rude Boy,” and “Bad Romance and Telephone.” Now people want to hear something else. Off of Rihanna’s album, the following singles are the most diverse –
– Firebomb
– Te AMO
– Hole In My Head
The other tracks are all sort of feed off of one another, slightly similar to Gaga’s Fame Monster. But while we’re talking about that possible competition here, the following tracks off of her album also sound just as diverse –
– Alejandro
– Speechless
– Teeth
I’m actually noticing a bit of a pattern here. But anyway, it doesn’t really matter. Fact is, I don’t think that anything SLOW from Rihanna is going to actually benefit her right now. I think that the best choice to close her album out would be something that’s a definite radio air play grabber. I can see “Hole In My Head” doing that or possibly “Firebomb.” I can understand that Rihanna wants something that echoes into an emotional route because of the album’s closing and all representing a chapter in her life. But she also has to make sure that her choice rockets in Digital Sales, Radio Air Play, Billboard Chart Status, and Club Remix potential.
She should feed off of her Rude Boy success with something JUST as hard hitting.
Thats just me, IMO.
It’s the smart choice. She has been releasing all the non-Chris Brown related songs because she doesn’t want to be in that place anymore. Besides, “Te Amo” is much more original than “Alejandro” which sound like an Ace Of Base song. The lyrics are s***, curious and totally island/latin flavored to follow up “Rude Boy”. Good choice. Haters be mad. I just say “Te Amo”.
@Coolchick: You obviously don’t understand what it means to be a marketing executive. They have to choose the most marketable single and quite frankly “Cold Case Love” and “Fire Bomb” are just not the hit singles they need to keep the momentum going. Also, Rihanna and the label are trying to stay away from Chris Brown related songs and those songs are very inspired by Chris and she just wants to move on from that period of her life. “Te Amo”, “Photographs”, those are good songs and have radio hit all over them.
Lady Gaga ‘s Fame came out August of 08! It was released a good one year and change before Rated R! So her selling 10 WORLDWIDE in two years of promoting the same album plus touring and Rihanna selling 2 million in 6 months without touring should not be compared AT ALL!!! Common sense!!! Te Amo is better than Alejandro! NO QUESTION! As much as I’m a fan of Gaga, her music sounds the same. That’s why she has to feed off the success now before it fades away! People will get bored!!! Rated R is extremely under rated in sales but not by the critics who LOVED it! I’m not worried! When her tour starts, sales will improve!!! I can’t wait to see her perform on American Idol!!!
i don’t see why she would change her release over what gaga chose. it’s not like latin music is huge at the moment and it’s this massive turning of the tide in the music industry; it’s one artist releasing one latin-y single in the distant future. you’d think she would want to AVOID that and release something that distinguishes her from the pack while still being radio friendly.
@Lalailadida — “Move away from Chris Brown?!?” I can guarantee: Rihanna will bring-up Chris’ name in her NEXT interview – GUARANTEED!
And if her next CD, which’ll be HER “make-or-break project”, doesn’t do well; SHE’LL, YET-AGAIN, play the “pity card”!!
But that’s NOT the “worst-of-it” – FOR HER; NO, not-by-a-long-shot: She’ll THEN have to contend-with, the statement SHE made, to the LAPD, i.e., the “real and true-telling” of the events on Feb 8th/09. That said-one, as TMZ claims: it was SHE, who was the Aggressor and Instigator, in THAT car, on Feb 8th/09! This is why CoverGirl stopped running her commercials: when they thought she’d have to take the witness stand and confirm, ALL of what was written, in that SAME statement SHE gave to the LAPD!
Once THAT statement comes-to-light, and is THEN, made-public; I’ll have to ask: Which company/corporate-entity will want to have ANYTHING to do with her? She’ll THEN be seriously-toxic and thus “untouchable”!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!
I would say it’s the smart thing to do….plus I like the song a LOT. ..
1] because it’s more of a happy up beat/tempo song and reflects her older work–more Island rooted/influenced music; the “Old Rihanna” which is what everybody claims they want back.
2] because even though the other songs on her album that could be hit material, doesn’t mean she’ll be able to sing them well live. (Don’t get me wrong, I love Rihanna, but her voice isn’t vocally strong enough to sing songs like “Cold Case Love” ”Rockstar 101” or “Photographs” #imjustsayin) Those are great STUDIO Songs, not songs that could be sung well LIVE on a normal basis and….
3] it would be a GREAT Summer song and would appeal widely to more audiences culturally. With that being said, Te Amo is the SMARTEST choice for her to release as a next single.
XY&Z: You don’t know Rihanna or Chris Brown…Neither do I. I don’t know what happened that night and I really don’t care because I’m totally over that. Also, Rihanna hasn’t been playing the pity card…That was only in the beginning of promotion because she HAD to say something about it…She was asked countless times about it. Now, when Rihanna does press conferences Chris Brown related questions are off topic…When she went to Asia and Australia they were forbidden by Rihanna to ask about “the incident”. If anyone is playing the pity card it’s Chris Brown and it’s not working out for him isn’t it? HAHAHAHAHA.
“That Rihanna reign just don’t let up”….Let’s see CB get a #1 record and sell over 3 million copies.
ok, just went back and read some comments…….i couldve sworn that this post was about her next single and NOT her supposed “H***** Scar” or “Chris Brown”…What do EITHER have to do with this post? SMH @ you people lol
@Basian: Beyonce did the Latin thing first? No she didn’t. Madonna did the latin thing before anyone else did. “La Isla Bonita” came out in 1986 and True Blue was a fully latin inspired album and is her best selling studio album of all time and one of the best selling albums in music history. Beyonce didn’t start s***. Besides, “Te Amo” is million times better than “Alejandro” and “Beautiful Life” put together.
@ODDONE: “Lady Gaga can write hooks” LMAFO. You mean she steals hooks…Get it right. Every single song she releases sounds like something I’ve heard before. All Rihanna’s songs are very different in sound and style…So are her videos. Lady Gaga just dresses weird to cover up all the unoriginality in her music.
#1: Rihanna DOES write hooks, briges, arranges and produces. Check her credits foolio, she wrote lyrics for her first record she also took control of her image with Good Girl Gone Bad and now if you check the credits, 9 tracks on the album Rated R list her as a songwriter and contributor to the album….And before you say “Anyone can put their name on a song and call it songwriting because Madonna and Beyonce do it too’….Blah, blah, blah. No one except the people who write the song know how much or how little someone like Madonna and Beyonce write on a single. Rihanna also was the art director and executive producer of Rated R, she had the final say in everything.
Te amo was leaked on the net before Gaga even recoded Alejandro…Just saying 🙂
I’m curious about how Te Amo will do, but I agree with number 2. It’s not screaming hit as you say but then again…It was number 1 in Brazil long before Rated R even came out.
POW!
& I LOVE how Samanha finally cited Rihanna Daily as a source. You know you stay on there more than anyone else on your blog hun. One more song for you to vouge to Sam and Trent. Work it girlies.
Rihanna started a verbal argument, not a physical assault. Some CB stans like to assert otherwise because it’s easier to shift blame to Rihanna. The police report that is found at “the smoking gun” in an article entitled “LAPD Details Rihanna Beating”. The same document can be found at TMZ as well.
http://www.tmz.com/2009/03/05/chris-brown-rihanna-police-report/
The police report makes no mention of Rihanna having physically assaulted CB. The Police report says that the only time Rihanna put her hands on Chris was to try to gouge his eyes out in self defense after he put her in a head lock.
No doubt XYand Z will try to argue that the document at TMZ and The Smoking Gun isn’t the actual police report, by referring to this link
http://www.tmz.com/2009/03/09/brown-wants-misdemeanor-plea-no-jail-time/#ixzz0hEt8mCFL
But that article offers only rumors and speculation from unnamed sources detailing what Chris Brown’s legal team supposedly wanted after he had been charged with a felony. The only official document that XYZ’s article links to is the one in my first link, which was the document submitted in court when Brown was arraigned.
The fact that CB would later go on to plead out and not fight the charge, only adds more credence to the validity of the police report than whatever misdemeanor/self defense plan that XYZ’s TMZ article said that Brown’s team was going to pursue. In case anyone doubts that the “search warrant” was the actual police report . . .
Dianne Sawyer @ 20/20 refers to the same document found at TMZ and smoking gun as “the police report”

Can you read?? I said before BOTH Lady Gaga and Rihanna
NOOOOOOO NOT TE AMO!! I LOVE ALL OF THE SONGS ON REATED R APART FROM TE AMO!! WHY NOT PHOTOGRAPHS OR ROCKSTAR101 OR G4L???
I’m sorry, but I never understood Rihanna success. Why does this girl have all these number one hits? Her vocals on many of these songs are mediocore at best. Although, I do understand Rude Boy’s success, It’s a pretty good song. I find it very strange that she has accumulated more number ones than artists who are more established and talented than she. I never got the who “Rihanna Reign” thing. Yes, she has nice eyes and she dresses edgy from time to time, but what else is she really offering? Sexiness only goes but so far. I feel she is made out to be more than what she really is. I can’t put my finger on it, but there is something about the whole Rihanna machine that just does’nt add up.
Well Since Lady Gaga said The Fame Monster is her 2nd album. Can you call that a FLOP???
*rated
HEY I JUST CHECKED ON WIKIPEDIA HER NEXT SINGLE IS PHOTOGRAPHS NOT TE AMO!!! THANK GOD COZ TE AMO SUCKS!!
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A COMPLETELY CREDIBLE SOURCE, OBVIOUSLY.
NO ONE LOOKS TO WIKIPEDIA. ITS EASY TO HACK AND CHANGE.
OH SO U’LL RATHER BELIEVE THIS THEN WIKIPEDIA??
@ Rihannafan: Wikipedia is notorious for being false. I in college and all the professors say don’t always believe what’s on wikipedia because anyone can change it. Rihannadaily.com is far more reliable when it comes to anything Rihanna related because the label and Rihanna’s people regularly give the website up to date information.
YES! Hopefully Fire Bomb will follow as the last single.
Te Amo is the best song on her album
@ HIHIHI
Lady GaGa will be releasing ‘Speechless’ in the coming months, after she has finshed promoting ‘Alejandro’. So she doesn’t always release dance singles.
So turns out Lady GaGa’s done pretty everything Rihanna’s done in 6 years, in nearly 2. Wayyyyyy.
Now, stop posting in capitals, all it does is make me laugh, and you look and sound immature.
And at MADDONNARIHANNAFOREVER
When a song take a smaple of music from another song, that is stealing.
When a song sounds like something you’ve heard before, it is not stealing.
It is what normally happens in music.
Stop t-t-t-tawkin’ that BLAH BLAH BLAH.
@123heythatsme: The reason she’s so popular is mainly due to her singles. Pon de Replay, SOS, Umbrella, Don’t Stop The Music, Rude Boy, Disturbia…Those are all great hits and have sustained her success. It just so happens that she’s beautiful…The girl can’t help it. Her one-on-kind voice, unique look, edgy trend setting fashion and a devoted international fanbase….it all adds up. She is loved all over the world especially in Australia and Europe as well as North America and Latin America. I don’t understand where it doesn’t add up. Makes perfect sense to me and has been the way pop music has always been.
^Umm, that actually isn’t true. Lady Gaga is releasing “Dance in the Dark” or “Monster” after Alejandro, its already been confirmed by her and her fansites. She’s already been promoting ‘Speechless’ around in her performances for shows and what not.
Also anyway. don’t listen to Wikipedia.
Remember when Wiki said that Justin Bieber died in a car accident?
Yeah, 4chan just edited his bio and put in that information as a joke.
You can’t rely on Wiki for anything music related, especially since it hasn’t been confirmed. Then Sam and Trent NEVER say that ‘potential’ singles are CONFIRMED. They just speculate basing on the connections they have from blogs that link to the music industry.
And in addition, Lady gaGa has only released dance songs unitl now because she knows what’s hot.
Pop music is hot at the moment. And she wants to relive the 80’s and bring them back. When the style changes, so will GaGa.
OMG, I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH…
THESE GUYS ARE OBVIOUSLY TRYIN TO SPARK ARGUMENTS, HIT RIHANNA STANS BUTTONS AND I JUST DONT GET WHY SOME OF U RESPOND TO IT.
LEAVE UR OPINION ON WHAT “YOU THINK” NOT SPEAKING ON WHAT SAM OR TRENT SAYS……
I PERSONALLY WOULDVE LIKED COLD CASE LOVE OR FIREBOMB….BUT I SUPPORT RIHANNA AND WHATEVER SHE DOES REGARDLESS. THE ALBUM IS TRULEY A GOOD PIECE OF WORK….I CRIED ON THIS ALBUM, IT IS SO REAL AND IN DEBT, AND IT DOESNT EVEN MATTER IF HER VOICE IS AS POWERFUL AS EVEN THE BIGGEST LEGEND…..SHE SUNG HER HEART OUT ON SOMETHING “REAL” IN HER LIFE…AND THIS ALBUM DEFINITE MADE ME A FAN….BIGGER THAN BEFORE.
BUT ANYWAY, REMEBER YOU GUYS ITS NOT WHAT PEOPLE SAY, ITS WHAT U RESPOND TOO….PEACE&LOVE:)

BTW—THATS IS A GORGEOUS PICTURE THEY USED…
@OODONE: Has Lady Gaga had 6 #1 singles? No. Has Lady Gaga released four albums? no. Has Lady Gaga been around for five years? No. She isn’t gonna last. No way no how. Even after five years, Rihanna is still #1. I seriously doubt if Lady Gaga will have a #1 hit in five years…2015? No way. Besides, all Rihanna’s songs sound different. All Lady Gaga songs sound the same. Monster sounds like Poker Face, Bad Romance sounds like Poker Face…I haven’t seen another shade of Lady Gaga’s character except weird, weirder and freak. Rihanna can change her look, sound as good as Madonna can and I think Rihanna is gonna last a long time.

@LALA –
People said that when Gaga was FIRST released, but her fanbase is just as large and just as dedicated as Beyonce’s and Rihanna’s. They said that she’d be a one hit wonder. But she wasn’t. It doesn’t really matter how many ‘number 1’s’ she has in the US, when she has multiple hits all over the world. That also applies to Ri and Bey as well.
Then not only that, but have you heard ALL of Gaga’s songs? Listen to her earlier stuff, thats before she even migrated into the club/pop esque sound. She was doing a lot of alternative music back then. Or should I say ‘rock.’ I’m not here to argue about Gaga. I’m just trying to make sure that you have the right facts and idea bout her.
look at who’s currently Number One on Time Magazine’s MOST INFLUENTIAL on the ratings right now. She’s beating out everyone, including people that are totally unrelated to music. Gaga will last. People said that about Rihanna, then look at how far she’s come.
She should release “Rockstar 101” or pun intended “The Last Song”. (Cause it will be the last single for her album”.
no! photographs is the one!
@Lala — Where was Lady Gaga, a year ago? Where was “Kei$ha”? …Exactly! They came outta ‘no-where’ to unseat Rihanna as the NEW IT-girl!
“True Talent” WILL LAST, and overcome adversity – PERIOD!! Chris Brown HAS talent: producer, song-writer and SHOWMAN-EXTRAORDINARY! …Rihanna knows NOTHING ’bout showmanship, singing, dancing, song writing or music-production!!
And I think it is YOU who needs reminding: Chris Brown co-wrote “Disturbia”; it’s one of those “mulit-platinum selling songs” you had made-mention and alluded-to!
Chris Brown – MULTI-talented; multifaceted and ONLY 21 y/o!
Rihanna – High School Drop Out; ‘H*****-apologist’:H***** sore on HER lip; Alcoholic: seen in public in a drunken-stupor;Thief: stole $30K worth-of-services from her Physical Trainer, and his NOW being sued of said, “Theft of services!” …All-of-which, she managed to “accomplish” at ONLY 22 years! …And what “OTHER-outrage” can we expect from the diseased, dysfunctional, non-talented and uneducated Ms. Fenty?
WOMP – WOMP
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!
XYZ….SIT DOWN.
RIHANNA IS VERY MUCH SO TALENTED. SHE’S A SINGER, WRITER, MODEL, PRODUCER, DESIGNER, AND DANCER.
IF THATS NOT TALENT THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS.
OK..and Rihanna Was suid for not paying her trainor, for how much? Theres Artist that shall remain nameless getting sued for there overall Career and Image that was like how much? 30 something million!!! And others whom been sued for Songwriting Fraud etc….Wayy more in-debt than a Gym Fee!! lol
@Dion-ish —
Rihanna: “Dancer, Singer, Song-Writer?!?!?!”
….Bwayahahahayayayahahahaayayayayayayaaaaaaaayayayayayayayayay!
Wow, that-one gave me stomach-cramps; I’m laughing-so-hard, I’m having “stitches”!!
That-one, was good, I gotta take-a-break and re-compose: steady my shaking hands;
Brb…
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!!
WHY?
She Dances. And is considered one most def…
Singer, DUH
Songwriter, She wrote on her first two albums and rated R as well.
@ Joshuabuzz
Te amo is not only used in Portugese. Te quiero does mean I love you, but its litaral translation is I want you.
X, Y, “and Z and stupid…
lol ypu have a very hard life
feel so sorry for you and Chris convicted felon mixtape artist Brown
You need your meds… #hoesitdown
I wonder if her camp means to drop it at the same time as ‘Alejandro.’ That would be interesting, because I don’t think a lot of people would be happy since Gaga has already claimed that would be her next single for the longest time. Especially since Rihanna wants so desperately to work with her, I’m under the impression that not many would take that as a compliment.
I Think The Single is good for her since shell be performing in Spain, Latin Countries A LOT this year.
Like in Rock in Rio
Te Amo is a good song. Let’s hope it does well.
no matter what anyone say Rihanna is the s*** just deal with it this also can be said about Beyonce and Gaga
arguing about how is best is worthless all these b****** are getting money
why the hell ARE YOU SO CALLED “RIHANNA” FANS MAD BECAUSE SHE RELEASING “TE AMO”.SHE IS RELEASING IT BECAUSE IT IS SUCCESSFUL IN BRAZIL.IT HAS ABSOLUTLY NOTING TO WITH LADY GAGA.THE WAS OUT BEFORE LADY GAGA’S THE FAME ALBUM.IT DID RESPECTFULLY WELL IN BRAZIL.ANYWAY I AM SICK OF GAGA AND ALL HER CRAZINESS.BOTH “TE AMO” AND “ALEJANDRO” ARE GOOD SONGS.BUT IN MY OPINION I LIKE TE AMO BETTER.LOL PHOTOGRAPHS WAS NEVER GOING TO RELEASED AS A SINGLE.WHY ARE YALL GETTING SO MAD AT RIHANNA HER LABEL IS PROBABLY RELEASING THE SONG AS A SINGLE.ANYWAY I DIDN’T KNOW THIS WAS ABOUT BEYONCE AND LADY GAGA.I TAUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ABOUT RIHANNA WHO’S RUDE BOY IS # 1 OF THE 3RD WEEK.SHE IS NOW THE FEMALE WITH MOST # 1 ON THE HOT 100 SINCE 2000.LADY GAGA ONLY GETS NUMBER ONES ON THE POP AND DIGITAL CHARTS ONLY NEVER ON THE HOT 100 CHART.RIHANNA ALONG SIDE BEYONCE HAS THE MOST TOP TEN HITS SINCE 2000.SHE HAS TWELVE TOP TEN HITS TOTAL IN THE US.AND LADY GAGA’S EH EH EH (NOTING ELSE I CAN SAY) IS FROM RIHANNA’S UMBRELLA UMBRELLA “ELLA ELLA EH EH EH,UNDER UMBRELLA ELLA ELLA EH EH EH EH,EH EH.AND HER SINGLES PAPARAZZI,LOVEGAME AND THE FAME IS SAMPLED FROM MICHAEL JACKSON’S “BAD”.LADY GAGA’S MUH MUH MAH IS FROM BONEY M’S MA BARKER.RIHANNA IS A HIT MACHINE WHEN “UMBRELLA” TOOK OFF EVERYBODY STARTED CUTTING THEIR HAIR AND IMITATING HER SOUND,THAT’S BECAUSE IT WAS DIFFERENT.RIHANNA HAS A UNIQUE VOICE AND lady gaga’s voice sounds like AMY WHINEHOUSE’S VOICE.GOD BLESS RIHANNA TE AMO WILL DO WELL ON THE CHARTS I HOPE!!!
I love “Te Amo”….. I think it’s a great single and a way better choice than “Photographs” because “Photographs” sounds a bit depressing and lackluster as far as a single. I also think “Te Amo” is a better follow-up for “Rude Boy”…….Since “Rude Boy” is such a spring/summer song, it’ll be smart to transition from that to a slow Spanish-like song. And I think the video for “Te Amo” would be FIYAH, too!
I wonder if Rihanna will take pictures: walking on the beach; say…. in Rio? I mean, the fact that, she DIDN’T pay HER personal trainer; hence the cottage-cheese on HER thighs, it’s JUST NOT a “good-look”, you know?
…What say y’all: “Dion-ish” and “A,B,C,D and E”??? Now, I’ve SEEN Brazilian women: not-an-ounce of Cottage-Cheese on THOSE thighs – NOT ONE DROP!
Rihanna’s legs looks like “auntie-clara’s” with a “run-in-her-stockings”! Rihanna is F-A-T; maybe she, Mariah Carey and Kirstie Alley should do some sort of “loose the weight/go-chicken fat-go” themed-reality-based TV show; now THAT is something that I’d watch!!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!
ii like both Sonqs bt She Should Choose firebomb Or rockstarr I Know For ssure that Firebomb Will Go to number In new zealand which is where im situated dont know bt the states uk or aussie
XY and Z –
Why do you have a problem with people’s bodies anyway? Rihanna has a gorgeous body. Then so does Kirstie Alley and Mariah Carey. There is NOTHING wrong with being skinny, average weight, curvy, or on the thicker side. You’re supposed to be pegging down Rihanna for her musical abilities, sales and things that relate to that.
There is something VERY wrong with you because you’re criticizing the way that she looks. Then not only that, but your comments are losing a lot of their usual fire. You say that you only speak the truth but you get to the point where you start rambling about things that shouldn’t matter!
What’s your problem?
You’re the reason why so many girls have issues with their bodies. Its because people like you are making retarded comments about how they have to fit an ideal that you have.
this is a gr8 song but what should b her next single is Rockstar 101 or Stupid in love
XYZ mad cause Rihanna dated his man. I thought we already confirmed this. You ready to come out of that closet XYZ or you want to keep fronting? You’ve been in there so long, Sam and Trent have no space to fit.
Why the hell do people go on wikipedia and read it and believe its true i mean come on people are you really that stupid.
Artist dont need to have voices like christina aguilera or beyonce to be sucessful Rihanna is successful causes shes diff and DOESNT RELEASE THE SAME SONG OVER AGAIN LADY GAGA
By the way last time i heard this isnt a Lady Gaga site
All these artist came out before gaga but now when they release new stuff theres always a comment about they copied her i mean come on people the whole music industry doesnt revolve around her
Shes’ dumb for doing this. Britney released RADAR and it hit number 1 everywhere in Australia/Asia/Europe. She officialy released it in the US and it FLOPPED. Everyone already has the song, why would they go and but it again?
“Te Amo” is a pretty song, but “Cold Case Love” should be her last single off Reted R, It’s the best song off the whole album in my opinion.
I highly doubt Rihanna was copying Lady Gaga by choosing “Te Amo” for a single choice, since it was never confirmed that “Photographs” would be the last single of Rated R (which is a great song btw). But, as usual, Sam is reaching for reasons to pick on Rihanna…gotta keep those hits comin huh Sam?
ALEJANDROOO IS MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN TE AMOO
TE AMOO IS MOST LA ISLA BONITA THAN ALEJANDRO
IS A RIP OFF
WELL THIS SONG IS GOOD BUT ALEJANDROOO IS OS MUCH BETTER
GO GAGA
RIHANNA SUCKS
I don’t think Te Amo spells hit in anyway and it was the first and only song to leak from her album from what I remember so most people have had it on play for a while now. I still say she should try Fire Bomb or something.
I do NOT care for rihanna at all……with that said….I like this song…..she has an ok voice…i def think shes a better singer then cassie or even j-lo….she just has a boring voice, which has to be helped with great production…the beat to this song is really nice….the melody is good too…so i think its a cool single choice….if thats what Gaga is doing then hell i would follow too because whatever Gaga is doing is most certainly working. I just dont know how well this well fare as a single…we shall see
Give TIA a cigar. Words of truth right there. A rare thing on this dump of a website.
Don’tget me wrong I like Rihanna, but GaGa has a much strongr voice. Now, onto the important issue.
Lady GaGa will be releasing ‘Speechless’, not ‘Dance In The Dark’ or ‘Monster’. Much to my dismay as I would’ve liked all of them to be released.
I do not listen to Wikipedia because it is bollocks. I listened to Lady GaGa herself, who stated that there will only be four singles from the album becasue she’s releasing her third Studio Album at the end of 2010, she has already written the lead single from the album. She also said that ‘Speechless’ would be one of four singles from ‘The Fame Monster’.
1) Bad Romance
2) Telephone
3) Alejandro
4) Speechless
Ta-dah. Now shut the f*** up.
Can I just draw your attention to the delightful little read, not uncommon in style to Thatgrapejuice.com.

Problem 1) Lady GaGa’s ‘The Fame’ does not in any way copy or sample Michael Jasckon’s ‘Bad’. You’d have to be pretty deaf to think that my love.
Problem 2) So what if GaGa’s voice sounds like Amy Winehouse? Isn’t Amy Winehouse considered a massive soul sensation whe you disregard her addictions? Winehouse has a phenomenal voice. Thank you for unintentionally alikening GaGa to her. (:
Problem 3) Lady GaGa did not copy ‘Umbrella’ either. She said it inspired her to make a song with a similar vocal riff. ‘Eh, Eh’ is almost electro-raggae. Umbrealla is R&B…
Yeah, great one.
Problem 4) Captials….
@ LALAILADIDA
Well, I never said Lady GaGa has had 6 #1’s. Don’t lie to make your pathetic argument half-worth-while.
I said she’s had 4 UK #1’s and 2 US #1’s. She has only been active for a year and a half. Rihanna has been active for 6. Mind you, on the Pop Airplay charts, all her singles have reached #1, but no-one ever pays attention to these. GaGa still has four UK number one’s, which is more than that monotonous binbag Rihanna has.
In 6 years Rihanna has had 6 US #1’s
In 1.5 years Lady GaGa has had 2 US 1#’s.
Work the maths and you’ll see that they divide like this:
Rihanna: 1 #1 single every year she’s been active.
Lady GaGa: 1.6 #1 singles every year she’s been active.
As ridiculous as it looks, 1.6 is more than 1.
So, stop trying to make it look like I can’t count. Dipshit.
And yes, I do know that in five years time it will indeed been 2015. And Lady GaGa will be atop the charts once again. Maybe not the US charts, but most definately the UK charts.
I can’t wait until November when Lady GaGa erupts backs onto the UK and US scene with this ‘anthem for our generation’ and shits all over everyone one in the music business making them look like a Year 2 choir complete with tambourins and maracas.
I really wish people would take the time to READ posts. Rather than glimpse at them and make assumptions.
I see good times ahead.
isn’t ‘amor’ a spanish word for love and is ‘te’ the impolite form of ‘I’?? either way portuguese borrows heavily from spanish so everybody’s right, yay!!!!! love this song!!! glad she finally released it!! question: wasn’t it a bonus track on the re-released version of gggb???
omg shut up dissing her, everyone has different taste in music if you dont like it dont f****** listen to it then you cant complain, if all the people that chat s*** about her really do hate her why waste your time, god some people are pricks!!!!
