Congratulations to Rihanna, although I don't think initial VEVO views is that big a deal, its total views that count and its early days yet for the video. Please, some people really are reaching saying she must have paid for VEVO views, don't be ridiculous! Whether you love her or hate her, Rihanna is BIG in the music business and has a lot of fans. I'm only a casual fan but I watched the video the first day it was released. No idea why some Gaga fans are getting their knickers in a twist, what has it got to do with them?
