Hot Shot: Rihanna Teases ‘You Da One’ Video

Published: Saturday 17th Dec 2011 by Sam

Rihanna‘s albums may struggle to fly off shelves, yet her singles stay perched atop of the Singles tally. The latter being a trend the actress will no doubt hope continues with ‘You Da One’ – the latest offering from her 6th studio album ‘Talk That Talk’.

In a bid to drum up buzz among her trusty Navy (who – despite their apparent strength in numbers – have yet to secure Fenty a #1 album), the 23 year old unveiled the above shot from the Melina directed video.

No word on the exact treatment of the clip. However, based on the shot above, it looks like she’ll be tributing her true status – smoke and illusion.

    the pic looks like a clip she already done with the first song from rated x? what was it called. it look ok.

    tbh artist should just release the video creating hype can backfire. look at gaga with marry the night. just sayin…

    Rihanna still got you pressed huh?

    On another note your fave Kelly Rowland is not on any chart and her Here I flopped has collected dust here in the US all summer.

    Oh yeah TTT has sold a Milli in 3 weeks. Sounds like its flying off the shelves.

    TTT US SALES>>>>>here I flopped ww

    Y’all “Rihanna Navy” are seriously delusional!

    ..I’m sorry to have to tell you-all (someone had to), but your “fave” abandoned y’all!! Y’all been drinking that sea water and are seeing mirages: “World Wide Green Oases”, and “Platinum Sales at rainbow’s end”.

    But, never let it be said that X,Y,”and Z” had never lent a helping hand; just a few “smacks of reality” across the face:

    1.) Until now, Rihanna hasn’t had any “comp”, as far as her presence upon that “WW Stage”. Essentially, it’s all been Beyonce and Rihanna. There’s, pretty much, been a “shortage” of black R&B/Pop female singers on said “WW Stage”!

    2.) (with the aforementioned said..) Nicki Minaj is NOW a “Clear And Present Danger” to your fave, AND her brand. If you need “proof”, look no further than what “Pink Friday” has done. When compared to ALL the resources ‘Def Jam’ threw behind “LOUD” (and “Rated R”). “Pink Friday” has done FAR-more on WAAAAY-less! On a ROI basis, “Brand Nicki” has far-outperformed “Brand Rihanna”! And in that very same way, in which Nicki has slaughtered your fave’s “U.S. Brand”, she’ll do the very same when she begins to be a more familiar face/presence on said “WW Stage”.

    23-year-old Rihanna is NOW in the “twilight of her 6-year-long career”! If I were you, her “Rihanna Navy”, I’d now “take in” as much of Rihanna/Brand-Rihanna as I could…

    The party’s OVER, “Fenty-ites”: 6-years of gimmickry is ENOUGH..!! Nicki Minaj is the new “IT GIRL”!!

Both can branch out into different genre’s and not be labelled try hard, and this is why she’s going to have longevity in her career.

  69. B. Hill December 18, 2011

    “Rihanna is cliche of everything that has ever been disingenuous about the music business. A soulless Barbie Doll, with plastic doll parts, who was plucked off the streets of no where and put on–simply because the outfit was her size. In other words: commerce…created and puppet mastered by money grubbing music executives as a tool to co-opt what is currently popular for fast cash, and pandered to the dingiest of music listeners who are not discerning enough to care.

    You have to give the label, the management, the A&R people, the songwriters, the producers, the directors and the thousand other magicians involved their credit for being savvy enough to outfit this garden-variety debutante with material and promotion to keep her afloat…but let’s be real, there is nothing ‘special’ or ‘unique’ about Rihanna, herself. She has little talent, no personality or strong image, nor does she command the stage. Anyone could have been cast in the role Rihanna plays; she just lucked out. For all intents and purposes, Rihanna is akin to a can of Hormel Chili; basically a canned product with a label (and a ‘sell by’ date) on it.

    The bottom line is that Rihanna was not built to last and is very “replaceable.” This is why she does not take breaks, and repetitiously puts out a generic by-the-numbers pop album every year. Being that she has little ‘star power,’ in order to sustain her momentum she has to continually strike while the iron is hot, while employing a multitude of petty ‘stunts’ to get attention (tacky wigs, brothel attire, referencing her tumultuous relationship Chris Brown years later.) The moment she sits down to catch her breath, ten more record label assembled chippies will be thrown into the ring and the last two standing will be the next “Rihanna.”

    In 2012, no more do we need windup doll acts like Rihanna getting on camera and posing like an androidian cast-off from America’s Next Top Model, while vapidly bleating over an empty dance track, hanging around longer than the fifteen minutes that is typically allotted for manufactured pop stars such as her. It’s just getting sad now, and the quality is dipping. Gone are the pseudo-interesting songs like “Umbrella,” now she is peddling random, monotonous dead air like “We Found Love.” The girl has run her course; at this point she is on autopilot and is fast becoming the equivalent of a skipping record.”

    Doubters And Broke, Busted Jealous and Envy Swad Trying to Bend, Break and screw the Know Facts & Truths about this Classy, Talented And World Renowed Goat Who has went from the islands of the Caribbeans and made a Name for herself and it has made so many Medical Dependent.

    Rihanna has come from a place that is small and very far away and made her Name a Household Name for Herself. Many of the Hoods or so bad that u can get Shot while getting shot as Chris Rock Says in head of state. Rihanna has pulled herself up from her boots straps from the Cadet in the Barbadian Army to the Glossy Pages of Vogue, Cosomo, Instyle, & Rolling Stone and now who’s going to Check Her ?

    If you say the word Fashion she has that on Lock, and if you don’t believe me then go to Rihanna’s Fashion. If u say Music then look to the Charts, Blogs, and check her Track Records and compare to others who came before her? If XYZ Is correct in their Thinking then just think Nicki will be taking over the Entire Game and all of the others will become
    null & void and that is very scary. I mean i love Nicki don’t get me wrong but why can’t they all make that paper and live their lives to the fulliness?
    Some people do make it a habit to always be sitting on their Brains and do not give themselves a chance to grow and develope good brain cells at all, what a loss and a shame. Theres room enought for all of them just Imagine what the world would have missed out on if there had never been any Artists since MJ, Aretha, Elton, U2, Celine, Barbara, Gladys, Mary j, Madonna, Little Richard, Cher, James Brown, Stevie, Prince, swv, Eminem, Jay, Just think take all of these Artists and Forget about all of the others what a sad Case and time that would be just think about any one who’s out today who’s selling music and Erase their names away from the List of Music and Hit Makers. This reasoning is so “Looney Tunes” and “SAD SACK WAY OF LOOKING AT LIFE AND THE WORLD OVER ALL, Empty Train, Empty Brain.

    “Theres room enought for all of them (the different artists)”

    Now you KNOW that’s just NOT the case! Need a few names to shake the sleep from memory? Ciara, Kelly Rowland, etc..etc..

    The facts ARE “The Facts” and then leaves ALL without compromise; without ambiguity: The “stage” is only but “so big”. Those consumer discretionary monies are only but “so numbered” – ESPECIALLY IN THESE TROUBLING TIMES! That said, not even you can deny that Nicki Minaj/Pink Friday has done more WITHOUT the vast sums Def Jam has lavished upon Rihanna/Brand Rihanna, “LOUD”, and “Rated R”.

    ..Let’s take “2009-to-present Beyonce”: Lady Gaga has COME FROM NO WHERE for AND TOOK a good amount of “market share” from Beyonce. In just 2-short years, she’s managed to create a World Wide Brand for herself. And what’s MOST curious; and at the same time MOST troubling for Beyonce/Brand-Beyonce, is the fact that “Brand Gaga” has “staying power”, when compared to Beyonce/Brand-Beyonce. Beyonce is now the “glamor girl”. She’s flawless in every-way, from every angle! ..But, she’s NOW in her 30s, and with the stress and difficulties of mother-hood fast approaching, those ‘worry-lines and gray hairs’ will shortly be HER reality. And try her best, as she will, to conceal them, the camera’s lens NEVER blinks nor sleeps! You see, we DON’T allow anyone to grow old in the Pop-culture world. Time is fast-ticking, as it surely has for Rihanna, as it is now for Beyonce.

    Now, I used the above mentioned example of Beyonce/Gaga, to show you a larger more exaggerated example of what’s happened to your fave (vs Nicki Minaj). Rihanna has been now, for the last 3-years, a near permanent fixture upon the European/World Pop-culture landscape. Once Nicki Minaj gets just a fraction of that “World Wide/Euro” exposure, you’ll see a “mass exodus” from that shaky, sinking, smoldering ‘life-raft flotilla’ formally known as the “Rihanna Navy”.

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..!!

    Sam had said, on many an occasion, that Kelly Rowland is FAR-more talented than your Rihanna (his exact words, NOT mine)!! He’s ALSO said that it’s Kelly’s talents, charms and charisma that landed her that X-Factor U.K. gig. Kelly, mind you, NOT Rihanna..!!

    When I tried to correct him, he told CBreezy to kick me out of Team-Breezy! So, here i am!
