I think Rihanna started this era off fine, she has to do things to reinvent herself. I agree the video to five seconds was too stripped down, more would have landed her into the number 1 spot on the charts. The second problem is releasing her new music through Tidal only, well I don't believe she has enough clout to make this work and she will flop if this is the only way R8 will be available, sorry, this will make her lose many sales, whether singles or albums. If her first week sales are only available through Tidal, sorry the support won't be there like it otherwise would. In between time, she's losing fans and interest in her new project because of the constraints of having to have Tidal. Others should have been the ones to pave the way with their projects like Madonna, Taylor Swift, Usher and so on. Rihanna stays on top because of the catchy pop songs and awesome videos, she's our fave glam girl or fun video queen. Stripped down is great for AOL or Yahoo music sessions. But, it's far from over, she didn't release a video for BBHMM, and we don't know what else she will release. One or two major number 1 singles will make this false start a distant memory. She did hit a hiccup, after the Jimmy Kimmel prank, April 1st, she was sizzling hot for a video for BBHMM, but it didn't happen, now her camp has to revamp their rollout plan and deliver and they will, trust! Alicia Keys had a rocky start to her Girl on Fire. The Fire single (featuring Maxwell and videos from album) gave her album and tour legs. Be patient, the fat lady hasn't sung yet!
