    • ok i’m gonna keep it real August 8, 2012

      loud (noisy) overproduce mess, no depth, not fresh, just meh
      . the only somewhat plausible song is the ballad – hello, hi, goodbye. <—–cause you're on way out, whose next? she just dosen't have that it factor.

  2. Truth August 8, 2012

    SouNds Amazing!!!! She’s coming to SLAY Beyonce and Rihanna!!!!!!!

    OoooRrrrAaaaaa

  3. LDC August 8, 2012

    Hope the US version is different, because truthfully there were only a few snippets in there that I thought were sorta okay. Yes, she’s better than Rihanna…but that’s not saying much.

    Kreayshawn has a sneak diss out towards I think nicki Minaj hahaha kreayshawn was going HAM! It’s call “H** BOTS” just by the name you can tell she dissing nicki Minaj or some other female rapper hahaha

      • White girl mob August 8, 2012

        It’s not on iTunes you dumb ass n**** it’s on youtub kreayshawn is coming for nicki Minaj neck.

        Nicki Minaj is a “H** bot”

        Kreayshawn got the streets on fire with this diss track

    • THE REAL TYLER* August 8, 2012

      of course it’s not on itunes! wouldn’t want to dissapoint her with not getting any sales… and it’s only 107 views on Youtube!!!!

      Can I ask you a serious question… I’m being dead serious too.

      how do you figure she will sell? with no press time, no radio play, none of her songs have charted, and no one blogging about her to much?

      Now if she sales I will give you the upmost respect! I swear… I just want to know how do you figure anything she does will go #1 on any charts?

      • White girl mob August 8, 2012

        It’s so easy.. Cause she WHITE!

        Once her album hits number 1 on billboard kreayshawn will get her respect from all the hip hop b****** in this industry nicki Minaj will have to pass the crown over cause KREAY ain’t playing with this album.

  5. Jaee August 8, 2012

    Hello, Hi, Goodbye >>>>>>>

    • TRUTH SERUM August 8, 2012

      That Had to be the song Beyonce gave her… The way she’s singing… Is the way Bey approaches her songs…

  6. Ok. August 8, 2012

    I don’t see this being released outside the UK. If there’s a US version, I forsee Jay Z buying at least 100,000 copies to keep it from totally flopping.

  7. Benron (In Rihanna’s panties) August 8, 2012

    Rita Whora is at it again. She stays trying to be “urban” and you can tell she is just trying to look like she is a black girl in that picture. But when she poses for white magizines she all of a sudden loses the eyelashes, stops puffing out her lips and stops trying to manipulate people by angling her nose to look broad. How IrritatinG!

    The flop h** cannot even release hers to both itunes.

  10. JAKE August 8, 2012

    THIS REDUCTIVE UNORIGINAL SCAM NEEDS TO TAKE A HIKE.

    OF COURSE SHE SLAYS THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF RI’H**’NA IN THE VOCAL DEPARTMENT BUT OTHER THAN THAT…………………..

    GIRL, GOODBYE. IF SHE ACTUALLY STROVE TO GIVE ME SOMETHING OTHER THAN GWEN STEFANI HIP-POP MEETS RI’G********’ DANCE’n’B TEAS, I’D POSSIBLY PAY ATTENTION BUT SINCE NOT

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  11. BitchICan’tEvenSpellWelfare August 8, 2012

    What we have here is a failure in the production department. The fact that you could insert ANY artist into ANY of these songs speaks volumes.

    Rita needs custom design not this paint by numbers foolishness. But that’s what you do when you try to microwave another star. So sick of it.

    Oh well, I wish Rita much success in her career b/c I like her voice but until she writes, or someone writes, some meaningful songs, my money is staying in my pocket.

  12. MJ Lover August 8, 2012

    I have nothing against Rita… I actually like Hot Right Now and R.I.P but wa all now that this album is going to FLOP: (

  13. JJFan1814 August 8, 2012

    IT’S RELEASED THIS MONTH? CHILE WHERE’S THE PROMO? & AIR PLAY????? KIIIIIII

  14. Roc August 8, 2012

    All the hate = 90% rihanna fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get a damn Life!!!!!!!

  15. Sleazy August 8, 2012

    Lmao hahahahah but why are RIHANNA fans commenting on a rita post and hating tho? Like are you all that threaten Like we should take your judgment You will not rate this album fair

  16. B. Hill August 8, 2012

    The problem here is that they tried to do a hodge-podge between straight up pop and urban, and it came out awkward. The 2 sounds didn’t mix. If RN were smart, they would go urban and platy down pop. RIP and the song w/J. Cole were solid…the rest, not so much.

  17. monstarebel August 8, 2012

    This album will flop its generic at its best she will be lucky to sell 40k in the US not even trying to be funny but people in the US really have no clue who this b**** is!

    • BCinKS August 8, 2012

      Right! They do play her one song on the radio every 8 days or so, but nobody knows who she is. And this album will do NOTHING to get her exposure in the US.

  18. i’m not throwing shade, but… August 8, 2012

    Oh, it sounds pretty bland to be honest and all the songs try to blend into one. Where people thought that the template for rita was Rihanna, it actually seems that it was Pink.
    There was no song that stood out musically or vocally from the clips (which seemed generous for itunes) and the will.i.am song sounds like a Cheryl Cole left over to be honest (as most of his songs now do) It may sell well to the young market but its not a standout album…. for all the hype.

  19. S****** Blonde August 8, 2012

    Reductive.

  20. BCinKS August 8, 2012

    Naw, this album is NOT it. Who wrote these songs? It’s one thing to have a couple of generic hooks on an album but EVERY song’s hook is like one sentence or one word repeated 62 times. That’s annoying. And each song is like a remix, production wise, of the previous song. Like one long mixtape. She gone do Lil Mama numbers here in the States.

  21. Pop Royalty ( F*** Yo Fav) August 8, 2012

    i’m SHOCKED , it’s pretty DOPE. anyone says otherwise is simply not a rita Fan.

    Facemelt , Roc the Life , Party and b******* , Radioactive , Fall in love >>>>>

    and fall in LOVE & facemelt are winners for sure >>>>>>>>>>

    U go Rita , she may be not in Riri’s lane and won’t be ever on it , but this is DOPE if u asked me. it sound like alexandra burke’s latest album ” heartbreak on hold” tho.

    RITA + JAy-z do Not play.

    • Pop Royalty ( F*** Yo Fav) August 8, 2012

      YES it is generic , yes it is trash to some , but sometimes you need to listen to 1 or 2 trashy songs to appreciate real songs 8)

  22. flawda August 8, 2012

    LOL at judging a album of snippets, you h*** really need to stop being so petty and let the girl live. She is gonna be successful no matter what you Waffle House working h*** say, she’s already succeeded with all her singles.

  23. HOTSTUFF August 8, 2012

    THIS IS A HOT ASS MESS WOW , THIS H** SOUNDS WORST THAN WHEN SHE’S SINGING LIVE, NOW THATS EPIC……

  24. White girl mob August 8, 2012

    @pop royal makes me laugh she always thinks she know everything.. Come on this site everyday with that ugly old ass dirty p**** madonna trust me Madonna career is over its a wrap finish.

    So go take a bath cause I know you ain’t took one in 3 months cause you on this site 24/7 make sure you wash you’er egg smelling C***! Cause I’m getting tired of the smell everytime I see you on this site.

    Kreayshawn debut album “something bout kreayshawn” september 18 ya ain’t ready for a classic album since nas illmatmic

  25. Rita Slays August 8, 2012

    Dead at yall trying to hate on an album based off snippets. I can’t. And most of you are R****** Navy so your opinion is invalid and pointless. You can’t stan for Rifund and call ANYONE’S music generic.

    I will reserve my judgment for when the full album is out. I hope she does more promo for it before it’s released so it has a fighting chance

  26. kelly August 8, 2012

    She came out and said she did not wanna go down the cheesy dance route when she was taking shots at mega producer, Calvin Harris. So what the hell is Radioactive?

    The only ok song is facemelt, even that is a pushing it – facemelt sounds like something MIA would of done in 2005, but no where as good.

    The song with J cole was a waste – I was expecting drake Rihanna hot collabo – should of known they ( jcole and rita ) could not bring it.

    The song with Will I AM is wack….If fact she has three collabo’s that is way too much, especially for a new singer.

    The way they write the song, was meant for an black singer. so Rita strong london accent does not sound right, same way Americans do not sound right trying to a british accent.

    This so called voice is not heard on this track. Such an weak effect. I cannot believe they wasted three years to make this. Tierra Marie LP was much better than this.

    I think Radioactive is trying to be her version of We found love. There is just nothing explosive or groundbreaking about this LP.

    SHE WILL BE DROPPED VERY SOON

    • TRUTH SERUM August 8, 2012

      YOU’RE A HATER… #ENDOFDISCUSSION

      STOP DICKRIDING RIHANNA SO MUCH… AND LISTEN TO THE MUSIC…

  27. RosaRubbel August 8, 2012

    I’m not a big fan of pop records but the snippets sound pretty good to me. Especially ‘Radioactive’, ‘Hello, Hi, Goodbye’, ‘Shine Ya Light’ and ‘Love and War’. It could be a solid pop effort, whats wrong about that?

    • TRUTH SERUM August 8, 2012

      RADIOACTIVE AND HELLO, HI, GOODBYE ARE GREAT SONGS…. THEY SHOULD BE SENT TO RADIO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE…

      • GURL August 8, 2012

        “great” , go take a seat and look up the definition of great.

  28. monstarebel August 8, 2012

    Her vocals are so boring and bland

  29. Commander of the RihannaNavy August 8, 2012

    Hard to judge an album off snippets but it sounds like a solid debut effort. I think some of you guys forget its her debut album. Its not going to be ground breaking or bold. Its something light and it appeals to what people are listening to at the moment. She’s just trying to get her foot in the door. Its not uncommon for new artist to imitate what’s hot at the moment. Ke$ha did it with GaGa, Jessie J did it with Katy Perry, I guess Rita is doing it with Rihanna. Remember when RiRi was written off as the island version of Beyonce? Rita will find her own lane with her second album

  30. Commander of RihannaNavy August 8, 2012

    She’s not going to go anywhere with the weak ass promo she’s getting though

  31. ty August 8, 2012

    SHE IS SO BORING I HAD HIGH HOPES FOR HER BUT SO FAR IVE SEEN NOTHING SPECIAL BOUT HER

  32. Release me…from the nuthouse! August 8, 2012

    Maybe it will do decent if they promo the hell outta it. I don’t think it sounds too bad. I will give Rita a chance.

  33. Ny August 8, 2012

    Hello Hi Goodbye sounds really good!

  34. Peter Griffin August 8, 2012

    Not good enough for a debut. I could hardly hear her voice. Too generic. No solid direction. Just saw her advert on TV and it looks cheap and on VEVO they’re pushing pre-orders. We got no choice but to buy this crap plus us dummies in the UK buy anything. Sad stories.

  35. commanderofthedancefloor August 9, 2012

    like i said before i don’t see this album as being her big breakthrough, but its only album number one, she can still pull it off later on. I think when she finds that iconic song that will make her career then she will take off.

    as for this album, like i have said before, i love facemelt, also shine ya light, and hello, hi goodbye. its a good start though

  36. Unlikely Face August 9, 2012

    Im not even a rihanna fan, and im not hating on rita, cuz she new to the game and whats their to hate on but this album is S***, the songs sound the same, her voice lacks soul and emotions and its jus plain boring. I agree with every1 else, watch Jay-z buy millions of copies to stop it from flopping.
