You just can’t please everybody.
In what will have many a Rihanna fan wondering exactly whose bad books the singer has offended her way in to, today saw more criticism of the video for her single ‘We Found Love‘.
Yes, just one day after Ulster Cancer Foundation labelled the ‘Loud‘ performer irresponsible for glamorizing smoking in the video, the Rape Crisis Centre has aired out some ‘less than polite’ feelings on the clip and its leading lady.
Find out what’s gotten them so shaken up below …
On the visual, the Centre concluded:
The video is a disgrace.
It sends the message that Rihanna is an object to be possessed by men, which is disturbingly what we see in real violence cases.
Interesting.
It would seem that very much like the response to her video for ‘Man Down‘, Ms. Fenty has come under fire for daring to delve into uncomfortable territory.
While some portions of the clip were indeed difficult to watch, especially the part which saw her love interest mark the word ‘Mine’ on her rear, is it really up to Ms. Fenty’s job to remind girls that being objectified and abused is never a part of a truly loving relationship?

LMAO!
TGJ is throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Rihanna since yesterday.
U can tell TGJ already know they re gonna have to talk about Rihanna hitting #1 for the 11th times on the Hot 100 later today. Thus beating Janet & tying Whitney.
All that After she beat Madonna’s top10 record a few weks ago and became the act with the most #1 on the world charts in history after Elvis, MJ, Beatles & Madonna.
DAMN, IT SUCKS TO BE A RIHANNA HATER
To be honest, I don’t understand these criticisms. The video was fine to me
And again, the whole point of the video was to say that this kind of relationship is unhealthy… THAT’S WHY SHE LEAVES THE GUY.
Do those people even have brain at all?
I know yall are used to brainless & superficial music videos about looking glamourous, dropping money & hot dancers. So when somebody actually talks about real life and forces u to think, it gives u seizures. lol
It’s all PR, the video was made to get people talking and it has been successful. Rihanna cares not, nor do her team as long as it makes them money and gets the publicity ball rolling before TALK THAT TALK drops.

NO1CURR
TALK THAT TALK, BITCCCCHHES.
one of the biggest mistake that celebs always make is, calling themself a role model to children…
because its always going to bite u in the ass, because ur going to have all these groups of people watching ur every move…
rihanna is going have to get use to this s***…because she wanted to be a voice and a role model..
now she sees the price she has to pay to be that role model,,,,she doesnt want that title anymore..
buts its too late..
This is what she wants this whole Bad girl thing is just a act we all know riri is doing this for Publicit! She wasn’t like this till brown beat her She needs help she got issues honestly this Vid proves it
but u guys have to understand, her main fan base is under 18…
they dont say the message that her videos are suppose to tell..all they see is rihanna getting naked, smoking, drinking, having s**, killing, doing drugs…
so since they look up to her, they think I have to do what rihanna is doing in her videos..
s*** i blame the parents, i dont blame rihanna…if ur child looks to rihanna as a role model, then boo ur f***** up as a parent..
I LOVE RIRI…
BUT I AGREE WITH THEM.
BLEACHonce PAID them to say this 😕 🙂
Rihanna>>>>>FIST clown, BLEACHonce &OBESEdele 😉
Just shut the f*** up!
This video is amazing.
Rihanna as a #1 Black Female Singer in history is just flawless!
Haters stay mad.
I do not see y these people feel this is going to change anything. This is real life, the video is exactly how it happens, it is young love (dumb yes) BUT it is real & it happens, get over it! this video is nice, it shows the highs & lows of young love, NOTHING wrong with this @ all-people are going to do what they want regardless, TRUST ME!
Beyonce who???
To all Beyonce fans..
With that fake pregnancy, go mad somewhere else.. LOL
None of singles from Beyonic topped the Hot 100.
Such a loser for being Bey fans!!
Hahaha….
It sucks to be you…Bey fans.. 😀
When you a celeb you automatically Sign up to be a Role model wether you like it or not Ppl are gonna look up to you! So choose what you do wisely She didn’t have to do ALL that in the vid and that’s Not what love is! Maybe to her But not to me
this is not about how many number 1s rihanna has..or whos flopping on the charts…or whos hating on rihanna..
do u guys actually think, r*** groups, domestic violence groups cares about rihannas number 1s or her position on the charts?
they coming at her because she made her self the poster child for domestic violence..so all these woman groups are going to watch her like a hawk…
thats why celebs should never be a poster child for anything, they know they dont care about..
im over all of this including rihanna to be quite honest .. wake me up when the next controversial singles queen comes around ..
theres a huge difference between signing urself up to be a role model, or people just looking up to u..
when u sign urself up to be a role model, u cannot pick and choose when u want to be a voice for anything.. because when u do that, ur going to have people come at u all types of ways..
and in the long run its not going to be good for ur career..especially if ur main fan base are under 18, where the parents are the one who control what they see or do…
like i said earlier, if u dumb enough to think rihanna is a role model for ur child, ur f***** up as a parent..
She DID end up leaving the guy, I don’t know what the big deal is, it’s not like in the vid she chose to stay in the relationship.
Raed XXX, use ur brain.
In the video is she saying that this was a great relationship? Or is she saying that this is an unhealthy relationship and compare it to a drug that she had to let go.
So now, she can not even talk about real issues?
If you don t like videos that reflects on today’s social problems like s****** (Russian Roulette), r*** (Man Down) or Addiction (WFL) then keep watchin brainless generic videos about being s*** like Motivation, or about partying like Party, or about chinchilla coats, jags & being a diva and all those things Beyonce seems to only seem to talk about….
There are a lot of artist out there who are selling a fantasy perfect world.
I am glad that some more thoughtful artist talk about real things that happens everyday and that society turn a blind eye to cus it makes them uncomfortable.
Rihanna has already said she ain t role model. She said it over& over again.
If somebody has no life and chose to make her theor role model, that s their d@mn problem.
Some parens are so lazy nowdays they want celebrities to raise their kids and it s pathetic. It just proves how bad of a parent they are.
If they couldn t raise the kid right, then maybe they shouldn t have had the kid to start with.
watever it doesn’t really matter if rihanna is anyones role model .. I honestly think in about 3 years no one will care about her and I’m not trying to be mean and I’m sure the rhitards will call me a rihanna hater but whatever .. no one can keep this pace and she and her team are desperate for staying relevant .. Rihanna has set herself up with this momentum she doesn’t physically or talent wise have the capacity to sustain .. I do think rihanna will be remembered for her number one singles which I guess is great (her stans seem to love it) but an icon absolutely ..ABSOLUTELY .. not
by no means am i a rihanna fan, but i agree with the assessment above me @truthteller.
videos that IMPLY scenarios often leave the viewer to come up with his/her own interpretation. but when they are IN YOUR FACE and tackling an issue head-on, people get uncomfortable. WFL the song sucks, but the video is powerful. and it does display a number of negative scenarios, but at the end she OVERCAME them all. so if that’s not being a role model, what is?
and i must add that i am shocked that TGJ came to rihanna’s defense for once. could this be signaling the end of an era for TGJ? lol…doubt it. but it was fun to think
I think rihanna stans and haters take her too seriously .. Is rihanna the worst singer with no talent no is rihanna the next big musical icon haha ummm no she’s a fun girl with some fun singles who may or may not matter in 5 years .. Jus leave it alone ..
Poor Rih Rih she can’t catch a damn break for nothing!!!! But this is the price you pay when you are constantly in ppl face trying to stay in the mainstream she is beginning to be very ANNOYING and its 🙁
http://soundcloud.com/edidion/edidion-i-be << Club Banger of the summer !
Finally somebody is speaking up against this ho. Its about time someody just straight up told the truth about this woman. A lot more could have been said. This girl got smacked around a little bit and she is acting like she needs attention desperately. @Ryan She IS one of the worst singers in the industry right now. Without technology this girl would not have half the fame she had right now. Have you ever seen her perform live? Its always a train wreck. Vocal lessons would be the key for her and she should stop wasting her time making racy s** videos. I just wish that one day could meet her in person and let her know that she is not the hottest s*** that has ever stepped out and there is more to music than s**. Can she sing about anything else other than s**? WOW that would be the day.
Who cares!! X Factor comes on tonight!!!
What a dry post. No one cares what that foundation has to say.
What they need to do is focus on the poor victims and there mental & physical state of minds. Help the recovery and fall back on focussing on Rihanna.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@Ejonez
Calm down, your issues with Rihanna have nothing to do with the focus of this topic so keep it cute for a change.
Honestly the way some of these organizations are acting makes me not respect them anymore even though I support their overall goal. Rihanna is a human being, she experienced something and has described her experience through her music videos. Some aspects Luke the tattoo also speak to a message bigger than herself.
The solution isn’t for Rihanna to smile, pose, and be their good little white-washed example of how to perfectly represent her pain. The solution isn’t to lie and say ‘No one ever smokes, drinks, or does drugs’ never ever ever! The solution is for her to tell the story, and for parents to get off their goddamn lazy asses and help their kids interpret and learn something from it.
A part of me can’t help but suspect this is because Rihanna is a black girl who doesn’t create perfectly PC songs and videos ala her contempories. Screw them for blaming the victim, I guess any woman who ever experienced anything in that video should also know they view her as a disgrace and not seek help from them.
Fuckers.
And you Sam are the biggest disgrace of all.
Your faves are flopping, you resent having to constantly post positive Rihanna news so you’ll search for any bad thing to say about her including inventing stories.
Too bad for you, you’re going to be reporting her success for a VERY long time.
Now go find a d*** and choke on it.
The R*** crisis centers should be Embracing this body of work instead of working over time to tear it dowm. Them Lesbos should be running with that musical video and wrapping their arms around RIHANNA and use her SONG & VIDEO AS A Teaching Tool.
Many or trying to act like her Creativity & Artistry is Taboo, Just like they try to sweep r*** and assults up under the rug. Why don’t they let RIHANNA do her job
without trying to make this young super star be the Mother of the world, shes still quite young.
In many countries the women or rolled and wrapped in their cloth, head to toe and they have to get permission to use the bath rooms, and their men have ten wives or more. i will say it again why don’t they go after the many movie producers that is out there in the world
PS,,,,Just goes to show us that since they or going out of their way to try and make RIHANNA be a Role Model aganist her own will that kind of seems like a way of trying to do mind control on thei young super star.
They or working really hard trying to make it be RIHANNA who was in the
garden of EDEN, hey folks that was not Rihanna it was “EVE” in the garden, folks.
Imma be honest
Im not a Rihanna Stan
I’m a B’ Stan
But to me this is Rihanna’s Best video!
I’ll give props where props are due.
I can see where it would be a little racey…
But This is the adverage “WHITE” T*** life… S**, Drugs and Alcahol
People are very touchy now…..
ANYTHING FOR A STORY
This body of great work from Rihanna is seen
by many as a tool to help EMPOWER WOMEN, Young & Old!
@TYLER,,,COSIGNS U 100000000000%
It often times seem RIH can’t win for losing, i just wonder what is the “R*** Crisis
centers “badge of honor is??????? Do they want to foreve keep hiding the fact that theres many r*** cases that can be pervented if the right percautions or taken. Do they know that women need to be strong enough and capable of walking away.
Theres many sicK people in the world, and theres all kinds of assults around the world and it SEEMS that if a IN YOUR FACE MUSIC VIDEO Would be more helpful for/to r*** victims to know that theres love, pain, drugs and PERHAPS a chance that if you try hard enough no matter how it hurts you can get out of that situation if you really try really hard.
The scenes happen so quickly, young girls won’t even notice this. I’m 15 and know that alcohol, drugs, abuse etc. are wrong. I listen to some of Rihanna’s music and watch the videos, but do I feel like smoking and alcohol just because some celebrity did it in a music video?? The answer is no. I only take away the postive messages….anyway if they watched it carefully and listened to the song, they would realise that Rihanna’s saying that this is not good love.
I think it’s good that kids and teenagers watch videos like this…….they need to learn what abuse is and that people smoke and drink. They should already know these things anyway.
It’s a video, an artistic expression. There are movies made about this same stuff and books written about it, yet they aren’t criticized. People always got something to say… it just means Rihanna is doing the right thing.. KEEP SHOCKING EM RIH RIH!!!
SEE I SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN RIHANNA NEEDS TO REALISE SHE IS STILL A N**** IN WHITE PEOPLE EYES SHE CANT DO IT LIKE MADDONA DID OR LADY GAGA THEY HAVE LET HER GO FAR IN ENOUGH WITH THE CONTROVERSAIL IMAGE AND NOW THEY ARE TRYING MAKE HER THE POSTER CHILD FOR WHAT IS ALL BAD WITH POP MUSIC THESE DAYS
It must suck to recieve bad press…I am not a big RIRI fan but the advocacy groups just go way to far its just a music video geesh!! Parents should be the childs role model not sum singer that they dont know!!! I being a role model comes woth the fame!!
Rihanna is still a n**** like what @ Tyra said she cant get away half of the stuff that Madonna and Gaga did !
rihanna is a attention seeking w**** and will do anything to stay relevant .. Hate this b****
@ Teamfoxydondiva
She hates you too !
Beyonce’s “Party” lyrics

RIHANNA is on a world stage not a PROJECT/LOW INCOME STAGE!
@ Tyra
I know…..PREACH !!!!!!!!!!
She is black…so she cant be doing all of this stuff like Gaga, Britney, Katy, and Madonna are doing because theyre WHITE !
Shame on Rihanna’s can’t sing ass. But I guess when you’re as talentless as she is, you have to court controversy for attention.
@ Avenger

Maybe Rihanna needs some common sense….because her big foreheaded ass needs to use her brains…..that God gave her…not Jay-Z !
I’m not going to sit here, and take up for Rihanna because she’s an attention seeker. She wants the spotlight on her so badly, that’s just what she’s receiving. This is what she wants.

RIHNNA Has now fell off into her “destiny ” because she has learned very well how to push through HARDSHIPS & PAIN RIHANNA Has passed the test, now she will keep enjoying whats Waiting for her after each “STORM THAT LIFE BRINGS HER”!!!!!!!!!! STAY STRONG RIHANNA BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT SEEM DARK OFTEN TIME, REMEMBER THAT THE SUN WILL START SHINNING THROUGH, THIS TOO IS JUST A “TEST’!!!!!!!!!
If you are seeking an older rich man or a younger beautiful girl who can give you real love, I want to tell you a nice place ——Agelessdate.Co M ——.a nice place for seeking age le ss love. Feel comfortable with the possibility of starting an age-gap relationship in a community where people think just like you. Leave behind the embarrassment and annoyance of “everything to everyone” dating sites. It is a focused community that goes beyond dating. With blogs, chat, instant messaging, and many other social networking features, seeks to evolve the concept of meeting people online.
NO @ LAX IM SAYING THAT ONCE THE WHITE MEDIA TURNS ON RIHANNA ITS A DONE DEAL FOR HER SO SHE SHOULDNT RISK IT WITH ALL THIS CONTROVERSIAL S*** SHE IS DOING ND DONT TRY TO FRONT LIKE U DONT KNOW BLACK CELEBRITIES CAN TGET AWAY WITH HALF THE S*** WHITE CELEBS DO EG LINDSEY LOHAN CHARLIE SHEEN ALL IM SAYING IS RIRI IS GETTING TO BIG FOR HER BOOTS AND SHE WILL BE SHOT BACK TO EARTH SOONER RATHER THAN LATER
All you Rihanna stans are starting to act like Beyonce stans! All you have to say is how Rihanna has all these #1’s and how other artists can’t get any! I’m not even a Bey stan but you all need to know that “GOOD MUSIC” doesn’t top charts anymore because you have artists like Rihanna, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, etc, feeding kids with nothing but B******* music and that’s what they like! Those three ladies will never have any longevity in the music industry simply because they are not worthy of anything but lame pop music! Rihanna has the #1’s but no awards to back them up!
MY B**** IS #1 ON BILLBOARD HOT 100!!!!!
Rihanna rises to her 11th No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, as “We Found Love,” featuring Calvin Harris, ascends 2-1 with Airplay Gainer honors in its sixth week on the survey.
Rihanna is just the seventh artist in the Hot 100’s 53-year history to tally at least 11 leaders, joining the Beatles (20), Mariah Carey (18), Michael Jackson (13), Madonna (12), the Supremes (12) and Whitney Houston (11). She passes Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder, each with 10 No. 1s.
Among women, Rihanna, thus, moves into a third-place tie with Houston for most toppers, after only Carey and Madonna.
“Found,” the lead single from “Talk That Talk,” due Nov. 21, spends a second week at No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart with 243,000 downloads sold, up 5%, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The weekly sum pushes the song past a million in release-to-date digital sales (1,057,000), marking Rihanna’s 20th download to reach the million-selling milestone, extending her record for the most such downloads among women. Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie,” on which she guests, is her best-selling digital song (5.1 million), followed by her top-selling title as a lead act, “Disturbia” (4.3 million).
Rihanna Escapes Hopelessness in ‘We Found Love’ Video: Watch
On Radio Songs, “Found” flies 11-7 (85 million, up 22%, according to Nielsen BDS). The song marks Rihanna’s 17th top 10 on the airplay ranking. Since her first week in the chart’s top tier (July 2, 2005) with “Pon De Replay,” she ties T-Pain for most top 10s in that span.
The coronation of “Found” dethrones Adele’s “Someone Like You” (1-2) after five non-consecutive weeks atop the Hot 100. The song does, however, rise 2-1 on Radio Songs (147 million all-format audience impressions, down 1%) to become her second leader on the chart; “Rolling in the Deep” topped Radio Songs for six weeks beginning in June.
On Digital Songs, “Someone” holds at No. 3 with 150,000 downloads sold (down 14%).
Adele to Have Vocal Cord Surgery, Cancels 2011 Tour Dates
LMFAO’s “S*** and I Know It” jumps 4-3 on the Hot 100. The cut remains at No. 2 on Digital Songs (206,000), while lifting 10-8 on Radio Songs (84 million, up 11%).
Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, former four-week No. 1 “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera falls 3-4 and Foster the People’s “Pumped Up Kicks” holds at No. 5.
Gym Class Heroes’ “Stereo Hearts,” featuring Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, stays No. 6 on the Hot 100; David Guetta’s “Without You,” featuring Usher, holds at No. 7; LMFAO’s former six-week No. 1 “Party Rock Anthem,” featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, rebounds 10-8; and, Cobra Starship’s “You Make Me Feel…,” featuring Sabi, drops 8-9.
As her fifth album, “Stronger,” debuts on the Billboard 200, Kelly Clarkson collects her ninth Hot 100 top 10, as the set’s lead single, “Mr. Know It All,” blasts 19-10. The track charges 18-9 on Digital Songs (104,000, up 60%) and 22-19 on Radio Songs (47 million, up 5%).
Clarkson has scored two Hot 100 No. 1s – her 2002 “American Idol” victory ballad “A Moment Like This” and 2009’s “My Life Would Suck Without You” (two weeks on top each) – and previous top 10s “Miss Independent” (No. 9, 2003); “Breakaway” (No. 6, 2004); “Since You Been Gone” (No. 2, 2005); “Behind These Hazel Eyes” (No. 6, 2005); “Because of You” (No. 7, 2005); and, “Never Again” (No. 8, 2007).
@ CLASSY GUY.. NO AWARDS TO BACK IT UP? LMAO!!!!! YOU PEOPLE KILL ME! SHE’S ONLY 23 AND HAS MORE AWARDS THAN ARTISTS THATS BEEN IN THE GAME FOR DECADES.. CHECK HER STATS BEFORE YOU COMMENT! BUT NAH, YOU GOOD, JUST TALK THAT TALK!
good music doesn’t make it to top, is that why Adele, gaga, and Bruno mars made it to the top?! *rolls eye* eat s*** Rihanna haters!!
I don’t get what the RCC is saying from this video and its relation to r***. Maybe who feels it will know but I dont see it at all.
The title “We found Love in a Hopeless Place” says it all. This is by far Rihanna’ s best video yet and I say it is mild compared to most movies plastered all over the TV produced by Hollywood and nobody is checking them. I also understand that she is perceived as a role model; but Rihanna is still very young and should be allowed room to grow. I believe the video talks about an unhealthy love between two individuals and the video compares that love to drug use. I think that parents should help their children with the interpatation of this video, say what is love and hopefully not “Find Love in a Hopeless Place”; but if you do have sense enough to leave.
TO THE DUMB LOONEY WHO SAID RIHANNA IS THE NUMBER ONE BLACK SINGER IN HISTORY, PLEASE STFU @PERRY
AND TO THE OTHERS WHO ARE TRYING TO COMPARE GAGA’S VIDEO TO RIHANNA’S BECAUSE IT BOTH CONTAINS SMOKING, RIHANNA DID MORE THAN SMOKE, IT CONTAINED LIQUOR AND IMAGES OF ECSTASY FROM PILL POPPING AND HEROINE, THAT’S ALL THAT VIDEO WAS ABOUT WAS DRUGS AND ALCOHOL.
RIHANNA IS NOT AN ARTIST, SHE DONT DO S*** JUST LIKE BEYAWNCE. SAME POPPET DIFFERENT WIGS.
THAT ISH CRAZY….RIHANNA GIRL YOU JUST CAN’T WIN
To all you All American Rejects that has something to say about my comment, my screen name is very visible so talk directly to me! Now roll that and eat s*** B****!
Rihanna might as well get used to them by now…..
Seriously,All of this is going to work in her favor when it comes to her being a “Black Madonna”.The video was fine and to me this was random coming from a R*** center.
i think this video had a very positive message! it is actually very obvious, she leaves the relationship, and even the lyrics, “its the way im feeling i can’t deny, but iv got to let it go”
R*** me my friend, r*** me again…………..wow Rihanna had Morphed into her Majesty MADONNA on TGJ.
Like I said, Rihanna is an ARTIST, she’s not the f****** president, get over it. B**** is FIERCE and she’s in the legendary lane while people try to talk that talk b**** is gonna TALKthatTALK
This is wrong.
Rihanna is expressing her feelings and f*** who everyone thinks.
The song isnt exactly supporting drug dealers or weed smokers-.- god u just wanna
Make everyone seem like a bad person. Get a life 🙂
Old news, TGJ. I already read about this LAST WEEK.
And I think some people just enjoy bashing Rihanna for the hell of it. Their criticism makes no sense whatsoever if one actually watches the video.
That b**** realizes she sounds stupid rite? There was no r*** in that video. Dumbass. Lol.
You f****** Rihanna stans, I mean Rihanna ass lickers ARE THE WORST! Y’all most love watching p*** or want to f*** Rihanna or be like her! THERE’S NO EXCUSE TO HER NASTY BEHAVIOR IN VIDEOS! From her shaking her stank ass in “Rude Boy,” to F****** A GUY AND APPEARING NAKED IN “We Found Love” she’s disgusting and a poor example of a female in the music industry! She’s a s** s**** to the industry and a puppet! What the hell don’t y’all understand????? She’s not talented and this isn’t her work. Why do y’all credit Rihanna when it’s the producers, songwriters, and music directors who DO EVERYTHING???? Seriously… I want someone to answer my question. THis video wasn’t deep whatsoever. It was about a young couple that f****, beats each other up, and pops pills and smokes! What else is new? I can’t believe you guys think it’s okay for her to be f****** a guy in a music video. I felt sick to my stomach when I saw that scene and had to skip over it! How would y’all feel if that was y’all daughters f****** in a music video and having her nasty ass and titties out in front of the screen?
And she needs t get over Chri Brown! She knows she hit him! I think Chris is retarded FOR NOT CALLING HER OUT ON IT! She threw a glass bottle at her brother when she was a teenager and cussed out her fans on twitter! She even supports Chris’ music now-a-days. If she was so scorn and abused, why the f*** would she want to see such a “sick abuser” succeed in life? That makes no damn sense!
Rihanna is an artist. She is not trying to be poster child for abuse women.
It’s so important because it’s so real. Whether the video has been made before is irrelevant, because it has, common subject. The good of Rihanna bringing it in 2011 is to refresh the idea and bring it to the eyes of the young who are about to delve in the age group this happens most frequently. It’s real, this kid of relationship really happens, especially in teenagers and young adults, and many may be unaware of how toxic it is. And maybe if Rihanna, the hardcore party girl, can say that this is bad news and she’s been here then maybe the young who inevitably look up to her will watch and learn. Instead of live and learn…the hard way. Because time is the worst teacher.
OKAY THIS IS REALLY GETTING RIDICULOUS!
I happen to like the “MINE” tattoo that he inked on her @ss! So what if the video delved into various aspects of a or an amalgamation of many different types of relationships. Some women like FEMININE MEN who follow them around like lot puppies and enjoy being dominated by them. Some women like SLIGHTLY AGRESSIVE MEN who take charge of situations. WhoTF are these groups to dictate how a relationship two ppl desire should go? These ppl need to mind their business. Rihanna is just one artists she cannot be help responsible for the worlds woos!
And now I hate the R*** Crisis Centre for making me have to defend Rihanna! 🙂

Ok you know what….people are gonna have opinions and I actually look up to Rihanna as an artist and from what i see from her interviews etc. For some reason it’s ok for Lady Gaga to make a statement through disturbing images, hardly any clothes and religion etc but if Rihanna does anything to that sort of level she is a disgrace….Do you know what I think….I think people that can say some thing like that are Judgmental, maybe you should watch her interviews to see where she is coming from….If you don’t like the video then don’t f*****g watch it, simple as, but i think you will find that people that understand the content of the video will find it inspiring. In my opinion it’s her best video. She’s doing what she wants and she doesn’t need Ulster Cancer Foundation or R*** Crisis Centres permission…. Rihanna isn’t glorifying anything…do a bit more research on her before judging.
Concentrate on judging her music not her when she actually hasn’t done anything wrong.

Yep, but we all knew it was coming. The media loves to build ppl up to have the pleasure of tearing them down (see Michael Jackson, Tigar Woods, Chris Brown etc). The fall from grace is always public, excoriating, and most of the time LONG LASTING when it comes to
black ppl. As you so rightfully stated, the Lindsay Lohans, Paris Hiltons, Kim Kardashian’s & Charlie Sheen’s of the world will always be just fine irrespective of the crimes they commit and the number of times they commit them (see Charlie Sheen’s 20 year history of beating women). Rihanna has been built up very high. She has now racked up the most #1s in pop music history or something along that line. She is now poised for a huge fall from grace! Just wait and see! The scheme never changes and it will soon be her turn to tumble!
She leaves the bloke. I don’t get it lol. People are really this stupid
TruthTeller said it.
I think that that was definitely an aspect of the video, but I don’t think she included the objectification and the mistreatment of her character in the video to send a positive message to people about those types of relationship’s. I thought that the video was about a relationship that was exciting and fun, but turned sour… so sour that she had to get out (and she did). Based on that alone it seems that her goal was not to glamorize the relationship she was in, but instead to show that once it gets ugly, you need to get out. Another thing, (and this is just my interpretation of it, i’m sure it can be interpreted in a number of different ways) the imagery of the projector playing videos on the wall were also a sign that she wasn’t glamorizing the relationship/objectification/etc. They started off as clouds, flowers, etc, very peaceful beautiful imagery, but turned into collapsing buildings and burning houses when the relationship got ugly. I have to disagree with them on this.

I am so sick of people badgering this girl. You know I am a grown ass women who has a stable home and 18 year marriage. But I can relate to the video. It is about falling in love. Falling hard and going through tough emotions. This s*** that pisses me off the most is because so many are behaving like they can’t relate. She’s forces you to exam what is going on with young women in the world. She isn’t glorifying she is asking you to acknowledge. You know I am down with RIHANNA NAVY!!

rihanna is an attention seeker. at one stage her songs were good but she’s become so trashy and seems very disturbed.
