New Video: Rihanna – ‘American Oxygen’ (VEVO Version)

Published: Thursday 16th Apr 2015 by Sam

As even the most fervent member of the Navy will admit, Rihanna‘s new album campaign has been the muckiest of messes.

Beyond its incessant delays, the set has been muddied and marred by the underperformance of its trio of “lead singles.”

Hoping to clean things up on aisle R8, the model has officially released the video for the latest, ‘American Oxygen,’ on VEVO moments ago.

Initially premiered on TIDAL (Jay Z’s new streaming platform which Rih has ownership in), the clip’s arrival on more a traditional format is part of a measured effort to push it as the project’s winning launch single.
Indeed, it comes after it was added to both iTunes and Spotify and one week ahead of its official radio roll-out.

Will the digital and radio assault help? Who knows. For now, though, watch the VEVO version of ‘Oxygen’ below…

Someone’s been watching the ‘Earth Song’ and ‘They Don’t Really Care About Us’ videos.  The prime difference, however, is that those songs weren’t repetitive rubbish.

Oh Rih.

    • Alisa April 16, 2015

      THE STEAM HAS RUN out of her hit machine; The public is over her tacky tattoos and horrible live performances and lackluster vocals; Bad singles, late videos, drugged performances and a INSTAGRAM of non stop parties has turned the public off to this h**;

      I bet she won’t treat her navy like hell now, refusing to take pics or hug her fans; Beyonce stole her swag and did one better lol.

      • datreddone23 April 16, 2015

        Bish please she’s doing fine selling tickets (refer to Rock in Rio) and records which all 3 singles from this era are currently in the top 20 on iTunes and she is the top arist on iTunes in the world with no album out! Stop talking out the side of your neck you sound foolish and bitter darling

  2. The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

    Flop

    • The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

      Good idea to use Spotify now btw. It might just out peak DIL…

  3. christinastherealtalent April 16, 2015

    It’s obvious she’s struggling to find her own identity. That’s what happens when you spend the first 10 years of your career not giving a damn about your image or sound because your team controls it.

    • Cupid April 16, 2015

      Umm she’s living while we all are behind a screen typing about her. What do you really know about this woman? You think you have someone figured out based off of the music she’s realeasing? So she has an identity crisis b/c she’s realeasing whatever she want?

      • ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) April 16, 2015

        Speak for your da*mn self lol! I’m living my life to the fullest, never wanted for anything. ANd f she was “living so much, why is she on instgram fighting with “broke nigg*s” (her words)

  4. CT April 16, 2015

    I love rih but im confused about where this era is going… but I will still support when the album drops..

    • ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) April 16, 2015

      Nowhere land….it’s headed to nowhere land…

  5. crackhearihrih April 16, 2015

    she’s starting to be irrelevant.

    • Pat April 16, 2015

      Agreed, i must say i never thought it would happen so soon. Eventually because of her drugs and attitude, but not now…Pour it up was on point! In my humble opinion, I really think ratchet Bey stole most of her fans!

    • datreddone23 April 16, 2015

      But trending on twitter and number one on billboards trending chart but shes irrelevant…plz

      • ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) April 16, 2015

        Call me when she’s got a Grammy for female vocalist of the year….

  6. CT April 16, 2015

    I lowkey feel like she is going to surprise drop the album on ciaras album date.. that would be so shady and the navy would run and buy the album to make sure she destroys ciara on first week…

    • Mark111 April 16, 2015

      I thought that too.

    • Rihboy April 16, 2015

      I’m pretty sure she will either on that day or after! I’m not worried tho! We all know she will easily outsell Jackie! I wish them both the best tho.

    • Pat April 16, 2015

      It would backfire!

  7. No favs, just here for the music April 16, 2015

    I’m still waiting for ‘Higher’ I love that song thus far and listen to the snippets from time to time. I really want to hear it in it’s entirety.

  8. CT April 16, 2015

    This is random but what ever happend to that mentally ill lil kim stan that would tell everyone to eat her p****… maybe her library card expired??? Let me be quiet before I talk her up..

    • Lil Kimmie Jong-Un April 16, 2015

      Im stil here b****, eat my c****** punta.

      • CT April 16, 2015

        Dam I done talked this h** up… where is your psyche nurse honey??? I can tell you missed your dosage today… now your speaking spanish.. multiple personality b****..

  9. Cindy April 16, 2015

    I love Rih, but this era is a confusing mess. Gurl, put down the coke and get it together.

  10. Barb Wire April 16, 2015

    I like Rih but this video is not it. It’s too long and I didn’t see any cohesive theme throughout the whole thing.

  11. Choupette April 16, 2015

    Rihanna why??? I’m between the fence with this video. I kinda like it but it felt like something was missing. And it was too long.

  12. Centurion April 16, 2015

    I’ve already seen it. It’s amazing. It’s also on iTunes people.

    • Barb Wire April 16, 2015

      @Centurion the xenophobic & homophobic shack-dwelling thot, I have another bone to pick with you. You have so much energy for someone who just spent 24 hours attacking foreigners at east Jo’burg like a rabid beast. So the unemployment rate is 24% but you don’t need to act like an animal you p*** drinking, shack dwelling, pot bellied, flea infested, dirt hugging, gender confused, poverty stricken hog. How I wish the Zulu king would cut off your government grant so you wouldn’t have time to steal your neighbors internet.

      • Barb Wire April 16, 2015

        Sweetheart I’m flattered but you could never be me.

  13. shakira stan April 16, 2015

    Phew this era is truly a mess….I feel like that Jezebel Beyonce and her lucifer husband are tactfully trying to ruin rihanna’s career.
    You know you will flop when kanye produces your album

  14. Benji April 16, 2015

    Are the songs shes released buzz songs or are they songs on the album? If they’re on the album then she seriously needs to find her own sound because shes all over the place. Im seriously confused. The silent treatment works with Beyonce, it doesn’t with her. Speak up and tell us whats going on.

  15. Mark111 April 16, 2015

    How can you watch this powerful video and want to spread hate? POWERFUL video, a song with meaning and Rihanna. Maybe because most of ya aren’t American, maybe we gotta wait for the 3rd World Struggle remix.

    • Krista April 16, 2015

      Rihanna herself is not American so your logic is flawed.

      • african music lover April 16, 2015

        I was about to say the same thing Kristina

      • Mark111 April 16, 2015

        You focused so hard to diss me and failed to realize that countries around US admire the American Dream the most. I would say they believe in it more than Americans themselves. So fail “shade”.

    • The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

      It’s crap…

      • Mark111 April 16, 2015

        No, that would be the song about Jay Z’s c** and 7/11. But have a nice day.

      • The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

        Ah yes. 7/11… The song the Titanic can’t stop talkin about. Tell me, why didnt BBHMM out peak it??? *sips tea*

      • Centurion April 16, 2015

        7 years is a long time Fleasus. Why can’t Beyonce/Yonce/King Bey/the Queen get a #1 hit??? *Sips Tea* Oh and get me some biscuits.

      • Mark111 April 16, 2015

        there’s still not a video out yet and it #21. “Starving, slaving out, 3rd world struggling. (awhoa)

      • The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

        So??? BBHMM reached #1 without a video but couldnt out peak 7/11…

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

      Hahaha @ “3rd world struggle remix”

  16. boy April 16, 2015

    What kind of a mess of a video was this? This is what you get I guess when you use to much cocaïne smh.

  17. Krista April 16, 2015

    Rihanan does not know who or what she wants to be this era. I don’t appreciate her exploiting these deep american moments for a hit either.

  18. african music lover April 16, 2015

    Something just isnt right about this era,everything is just all over the place,,my interest in this album is slowly diminishing but i guess time will time….
    Now playing..Lost in paradise

  19. Bammmm April 16, 2015

    MESS!!!!!….Put down the drugs & get your era together you Coke W****.

  20. Bammmm April 16, 2015

    She’s a COKE W H O R E…
    AND THIS ERA IS A FCKING MESS.

  21. RihYonce April 16, 2015

    Would have rather seen the BBHMM video but this is cool I guess

  22. Bammmm April 16, 2015

    Also the video sends a confusing message..smh, they need to send her crackhead ass back to the island.

  23. RihYonce April 16, 2015

    I guess I’ll buy the album , this promo is still all over the place I think that she should just surprise release the album

  24. Centurion April 16, 2015

    Every relevant news publication that I’ve came across with is saying good things about this song. Keyword: relevant.
    \(^o^)/

  25. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

    Releasing American Oxygen and B*tch Better Have My Money simultaneously is genius! One for Top 40 and another for Urban Contemporary Radio. It will have a similar effect of how “Only Girl” and “What’s My Name” were both in the top 5 at the same time. Could your fave ever do that?

    • The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

      Except everyone’s gotten over B**** Don’t Deserve Ma Money already…

      • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

        Only YOU have gotten over BBHMM! Don’t speak for everyone, because it’s been ascending on iTunes the past 24 hours! The delusion of the hive…

      • The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

        The delusion of the Titanic thinking it’s #1 worthy… Billboard > iTunes

      • Centurion April 16, 2015

        13 #1s >>> 5 #1s. Beyonce even struggles to go #1 on iTunes and the Hip-Hop/R&B charts! XD XD XD XD

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

      It’s catchy, light, and has more potential of reaching #1 than that whole surprise album. You’re so worried about Rih when you should be worried about Bey, because the only impact she now has in Blue’s life…MAYBE. She’s one year away from being next to Mariah in Vegas as soon as Britney contract ends.

      • The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

        It’s crap…

      • The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

        1 #1 album = Queen? *Chuckles*

    • Mark111 April 16, 2015

      You mean that movie that you said would flop, but just made twice it’s budget and is still the #2 movie? Oh ok. Rihanna saves a whole movie studio. lol

      • The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

        UMMMM ok… #flop

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

      Stop! Please; you’re embarrassing yourself. You should know her well enough; she doesn’t flop and neither did HOME, but what about that Epic movie though? I bet you pray every night to “beysus,” for Rih to flop, but you must realize that she’s not a god; she can’t hear any prayers from you. She’s a dancing mannequin with a blonde wig.

      • The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

        Go buy Rih’s flop singles…

  33. FutureCIARA April 16, 2015

    #RL8 era started around January, 3838485 snippets and singles later, still no #1 yet…… The decline is REAL! Ppl are waking up, and my fave is SLAYING radio.

  35. Cough Cough April 16, 2015

    A murky stinky mess. No Rihanna,this isn’t it boo. I may drag Rih and her delusional stans but I want her to win as a black woman. I’m tired of these basic white girls infiltrating the airwaves with their garbage.

    • Cough Cough April 16, 2015

      Girl, you can never be me.

  36. Centurion April 16, 2015

    How’s that soundtrack doing??? ➡ How’s the 7 year drought??? XD

  37. The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

    13 #1s >>> 5 #1s. <<< and to think she's only spent 15 more weeks at #1 than Bey 😀

  38. kingbeybitch April 16, 2015

    Well at least the Navy can now see the video. Yall know these broke ass h*** can’t afford Tidal

  39. Del Bey April 16, 2015

    Rhi looks fresh, I will say, but what an recycled topic, typical patriotic narcissism, dressed in a false sense of pride! She’s NOT even American, why would she endorse such an overused message?

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

      Did you even take time to listen to the lyrics? The message is fresh! In the US, the media paints a picture of an American being a blonde haired, blue eyed veteran; however, Rihanna is infusing the immigrant story to the chasing of the American Dream which is something that permeates throughout the world.

      • Del Bey April 16, 2015

        If only Rhianna thought as profoundly as you, she just took the song and did her best to rehearse the lyrics, she’s no artist

  40. The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

    How’s the 7 year drought??? XD <<< how's BBHMM???

  41. kingbeybitch April 16, 2015

    Well this has to be the last single before the album drops. Also I wonder how many singles she’s planning to release this era.

  42. Centurion April 16, 2015

    and to think she’s only spent 15 more weeks at #1 than Bey ➡ 5 #1s = Queen? *Chuckles* 😆

  43. Bitchpleaseeeeeeeee! April 16, 2015

    We are the new America . #Powerful

  44. Centurion April 16, 2015

    how’s BBHMM ➡ Where was Pretty flops?

  45. kingbeybitch April 16, 2015

    I wonder how the people in Barbados feel about her singing this song?

    • datreddone23 April 16, 2015

      Its number one there lol

  46. The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

      But 6 number one albums WORLDWIDE hun

      • The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

        Nope

  47. ~The Arcade~ April 16, 2015

    One word: “Pretentious”

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

      Do you even know the definition of pretentious? I’ll wait while you quickly google the term although you probably still won’t understand the concept or which context to ever use it.

  48. The Beysus Impact April 16, 2015

    Where was Pretty flops? <<< on your iPod with the rest of the album…

  49. Tinashe the Traitor April 16, 2015

    FourFiveSeconds is out of the top 10. BBHMM is out of the top 20. American Oxygen is nowhere to be found on the hot 100. Not even the bubbling under charts. I mean Pretty Hurts slayed that chart and the so called “hot 100 Queen” can’t do that. For any artist this having this would be fantastic but this is Rihanna we’re talking about here. This has flop written all over it. How is there navy going to let Beyoncé outchart Rihanna with more promoted singles. And the navy cannot blame the lack of a video for AO being absent on the charts. Someone of her stature and her impressive hot 100 tenure to back this up. This ain’t looking good.

    • Prismatic Returns April 16, 2015

      Kiii you’re telling me AO is not even on the bubbling under charts???? Ahaha what kinda mess is that.

    • April 16, 2015

      that’s because it was not on itunes idiot

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

      I need you to know facts!
      1. AO was just released TODAY as a single on iTunes and radio, so of course it will not be on Billboard.
      2.BBHMM has been ascending on iTunes for the past 24 hours, and will continue to do so next week.
      3. FourFiveSec was a damn country song, so no one expected it to go #1 on Top 40 as no country songs ever cross over.
      4. The singles were released for perfect timing to be played on the radio this summer.
      5. Now, when will Beyonce ever release a single without the same recycled Dream beat? That is the real question

      • Tinashe the Traitor April 16, 2015

        @ISpeak & –

        1.Sweetheart lots of songs have charted on the hot 100 without them being released as singles. Miss with the it was released today excuse.
        2. I asked about the hot 100(the chart that matter),not iTunes. Has Rihanna falling off that you now resort to iTunes.
        3. That’s not what you navy said when it ascended to its no4 peak
        on the hot 100 a few weeks ago.
        Stop with the excuses when yall swore it would be her 14th no1 single.
        4. Someone of Rihanna’s caliber can slay regardless whether it’s fall,winter or summer. Stop with the excuses.
        5. I didn’t ask about Beyoncé. I don’t know what’s she’s got to do with this. Or perhaps cause I’m keeping it 100. I stan for her. Next time ask before you assume.

    • Anne April 16, 2015

      I agree; and all this is before her album has even dropped so it’s not a good set up and shouldn’t be compared to songs Beyonce released AFTER the album was already platinum and easily headed for multi platinum status.

  50. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

    It amazes me how people can so blindly be amazed by a dancing mannequin with a blonde wig.

    • Wait what? April 16, 2015

      It amazes me how people can be so blindly amazed by Goat vocals..p**** patting..walking back and forth on stage..having no stage presence at all coke head.

      • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

        You’re mad at Rihanna for being a bad performer, but that’s not what makes her famous! Rihanna is famous for having a diverse catalog of music, understanding and infusing international sounds, and simply being effortlessly cool.

      • Wait what? April 16, 2015

        Blank stare LOL Girl bye!!

  51. kingbeybitch April 16, 2015

    She want a party in the USA so badd lol

  53. Prismatic Returns April 16, 2015

    Where is American Oxygen on the charts???? The navy must explain??? S*** is not even on the bubbling under charts.

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

      Because It was just released TODAY as a single. Now it’s explained. Just look for it next week

      • datreddone23 April 16, 2015

        Wasnt Prism already out meaning you could purchase the single? AO was only available on Tidal today is the first day that it can be purchased on itunes and it hasnt even been sent to radio yet. What is so hard to comprehend about that?

    • datreddone23 April 16, 2015

      AO was just released today slave_hive. Sweetie reading and comprehending is fundamental

      • Prismatic Returns April 16, 2015

        Both of you didn’t answer my question. I asked “WHERE IS AO ON THE CHARTS”. I didn’t ask when it was released. Reading and comprehending is key. And since both of you are failed to answer my question by using the “it was released today” excuse. Know this. Dark Horse was already on the hot 100 long before it was chosen as a follow up single to Roar due to strong radio airplay and Set Fire To The Rain went no 1 without a video. So you’re both telling me Rihanna failed to either replicate any of those feats these aforementioned woman achieved. Foh outta my reply section.

      • Prismatic Returns April 16, 2015

        @datred what what

        You’re missing the point. Regardless of whether it was out or not. Dark Horse charted without being a single at the time. That brings me to my original point(why I came for AO in the 1st place) Don’t try to act smart with by beating the bush with me. You won’t win. Admit your girl is flopping and move on.

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

      You obviously have no idea how the music industry works; I bet this is your primary source for music news huh? Dark Horse was already on the charts, because the album was already out. Therefore, all songs now may be purchased individually thus charting before being an official. By AO being exclusively released on Tidal, it did not have any presence on any platform that Billboard uses to measure songs’ popularity. Now, I need you to call ICDC College and garner yourself some type of knowledge.

      • Prismatic Returns April 16, 2015

        @ISpeak before you continue to make an absolute mockery of yourself. Go learn about the Hot 100 Airplay(Radio Songs)

        Aaliyah’s Try Again spent a week at no1 due to strong radio requests back in June 2000(before it was released as a single). That is just one of the thousands of songs that charted on the hot 100 without those said songs being released as singles by their respective labels.

        If we had this argument before the 5th of December back in 1998(that’s when Billboard allowed songs to chart without them being released as singles based only on radio airplay) you could win.

        Songs like When I Come Around by Green Day,Don’t Speak by No Doubt,3 Am by Matchbox 20 & Lovefool by The Cardigans all did pretty well on the Airplay chart but could not chart on the Hot 100 because they were not released as singles.

        Take note some of those songs were already on album cuts released prior(like Dark Horse) and some weren’t like American Oxygen).

        You trying to play the shifting game by pretending AO not on any album prevented it from charting is stupid.Or perhaps if you made this argument when AO was just a snippet,you might win.

        Study and master this. ANY SONG CAN CHART ON THE HOT 100 WITHOUT BEING RELEASED AS A SINGLE(WHETHER THAT SONG IS TAKEN FROM AN ALBUM THAT’S BEEN RELEASED OR NOT) BILLBOARD DID THIS TO GIVE RECORD LABELS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING WHICH SONGS LISTENER GRAVITATE TOWARDS. I don’t know how many times do I have to explain to you. Next time you come @ me. Know your what you’re talking about and get on my level before you try it with me. Enjoy the rest of your day.

    Cute, but my focus the entire time was on that epic hair color. It’s so beautiful.

  56. I tell no lies April 16, 2015

    This song and video are both just propaganda but her worshippers will say otherwise. You can love Rihanna but how could you endorse this exploitation?Y’all know this is exploitation and yet some of y’all still refuse to see Rihanna for what she is.She goes from doing a kid’s movie to being caught doing coke, yeah she was doing coke;who laces weed with cigarette tobacco. a druggie that’s who,to putting out this video earlier to get people to stop talking about her drug habits. I used to like Rih but that was before she got on national tv and lied her way to the top now I see all through her. The video and the timing of its release are so transparent but I’m sure her worshippers won’t see the truth.

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

      Educate me please! What’s so transparent about the video? What did she lie about to get to the top. What simply is the truth? Find the answers to all of your questions next week on Catfish

  57. datreddone23 April 16, 2015

    All 3 of Rihannas singles are in the top 20 on US itunes!

    She’s also AGAIN the top artist worldwide on iTunes selling more and charting in more countries then any other artist with no album out!

    Yes Rih SLAY!
    #left side of and island!

  58. candi April 16, 2015

    Sound like they are trying to push that One World Order Shi* Anyway this is crap but her fans will buy it. Cokehead and her music sounds like it also

  59. Cough Cough April 16, 2015

    It must suck to be a Rihanna fan. You can’t EVER cling to vocals, live showings or just raw talent in general. In the past Rihanna fans cling to other things that most musicians are less concerned about, number ones, slayed fashion and everything but her actual talent.

    It must suck to not be able to brag about anything this era. From gray hair, to fire crotch red hair, to scratchy vocals to weak/vision less music, to HORRIBLE uninspired live performances to underperforming music and COKEgate… That Rihanna Reign, eh?

    • Tinashe the Traitor April 16, 2015

      Ooop spill that tea.

    • Wait what? April 16, 2015

      lol Spilling all that tea!

    • datreddone23 April 16, 2015

      Oh please the Navy loves Rihs performances! Iheart awards and grammys performances slayed my life and that of many other reputable sites and news sources billing her performances the best of the night both times so gun your opinion really doesn’t count

      For not being a Rih fan you care awfully to much 🙂

      • Cough Cough April 16, 2015

        Yeah but no actual singers or musicians are praising her performances. Only delusional fans and generic white outlets. Let me know when an actual singer or legendary music performer is co signing Ri’s talent. And by talent I don’t mean “her star quality” I mean actual talent. Sorry u lose

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

      It must suck to be a Beyonce fan! You NEVER get to hear your girl on the radio unless its “Spinning with my hands up. I’m spinning, and I’m spinning.” It must suck to know that your fave is a dancing stage m***** with no songs that chart. It must suck to know that your fave doesn’t have an iconic song yet that will be remembered for generations.

    • datreddone23 April 16, 2015

      Wait many famous celebrities praise Rihanna all the time! She had Madonna on her feet loving her performance of 45S everywhere Rihanna goes she is the most praised talked about and tweeted about. She’s always front row honey.

  60. candi April 16, 2015

    New World Order and her fans will follow

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

      ANNNNDDD??? Shes’s a ROCKSTAR! Thought she told you. #SexDrugsNRockNRoll

      • Cough Cough April 16, 2015

        She doesn’t play a guitar (or any instrument), she doesn’t write any music and she doesn’t kill the stage. Those are criteria of a rock star, not just snorting your pay check up your nose. Don’t insult real rock stars Hun, that’s rude!

      • datreddone23 April 16, 2015

        She’s always the Executive producer on her albums and has many co-written credits such as the number one song The Monster just because she doesnt steal and take all the credit like some other singers we know does not mean she has no control over her projects!

        She does have her own management company and Masters of her music and business ties with Roc Nation and Tidal

    Top 20 next week. How you goanna have 3 top 40 hits before the album when Beyonce could only get one and Ciara can’t crack the top 20 to save her life. This will go #1, I see #BBHMM being a top 10. (Waits for the BEYsics to reply)

  63. orangeyougladIdidntsaybanana April 16, 2015

    I’m so confused. Back when she released an album every year her lead singles were massive hits and the albums were good. She then takes a few years to make this one and as of now everything sounds like it belongs as a deluxe edition bonus track at best.

  64. Foo April 16, 2015

    None of her singles has topped the charts so far.What’s going on Rihanna?

    • see it April 16, 2015

      • Mark111 April 16, 2015

        Never said MC couldn’t sing, I said she was never the powerhouse vocalist that you stans clam she is. Over 20 years and the performances are not there. She don’t deserve to be mentioned next to Whitney or even XXtina for that matter. Not as a vocalist. Oh and Rihanna can outsing Moo Moo today, so keep it cute. OH and save your 1891 videos of Moo Moo singing, still not good enough as to what the stans make her out to be. Have a nice day.

  66. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 16, 2015

    Do the ******* even realize that they’re fave is a dancing stage m*****? Mainstream America couldn’t even name 2 Beyonce songs; they just want her to dance. So, I guess that now makes her the female Chris Brown…

  67. Mark111 April 16, 2015

    While the PEst were posting AO LIVE 99K times, did you bugs forget about this dry, out of breath, off key, falsetto failed performance? Rihanna did like 4 songs, why this cow out of breath? Prob trying to squeeze into that designed by Tina NoseJob tacky dress.

    Beyonce’s the most commercially viable performer of OUR TIME. I dont need to post s*** when the proof is in the pudding. Rihanna is not, nor is she even a shadow of what Beyonce use to be around 2006-2009. She’s inconsistent; doesnt have good pitch control, whatsoever; and has a small range.

    The delusions are real.She’s a passed around the industry drug w****.Her worshippers have an excuse for everything that isn’t positive about her. There comes a time when u have to take off the blinders. This propaganda was released early to make Cokegate go away. Y’all worshippers are going to follow this babylon w**** right into the gates of hell if y’all don’t wake your dumb azzes up.But of course most won’t, go run out and spend on this trash. Let me cover up Cokegate by releasing this crap video so everybody can forget about me doing drugs and fighting on insta to believing I actually know about American injustices and tragedies. My worshippers will back me,to them I can do no wrong. They adore me,I’m Riri,you know. I got this Watch how they go spend that dough on my mediocracy and forget about me lacing cigarette tobacco in my blunt even though they know it was Coke,they believe what I tell them because I’m Riri b****.Hey Navy,go purchase my latest song, even if you don’t like it. Your girl needs and wants that dough.

  82. Linda April 16, 2015

    Taylor & Katy had two no2 singles with their current eras. Why couldn’t Rihanna??? If she can sell anything like they said when 45S was in the top 5.

  83. Mark111 April 16, 2015

  84. Molly April 16, 2015

    The navy is a bunch of pathetic insecure *** who stan for a disgusting crack head. SCREAMING at her having 3 singles out and none of them reaching #1 or outpeaking Slayonces DRUNK IN LOVE. KIIIIIIII Rihanna can’t hit #1 without that Eminem ki

  85. Mark111 April 16, 2015

    Ciara haven’t had a top 10 since 2008. Ciara haven’t had a successful album since 2006. How you gonna flop a whole decade?

  86. Slaylor Swift April 16, 2015

    She usually releases a lead single, it shoots straight to no1. She follows that up with a 2nd single(which does well) and drops the album. 45S didn’t take off as expected. I’m sorry but a top 5 peak position for a Rihanna lead single is a flop(regardless of what genre it is)(they said she could sell anything when 45S peaked at no4).BBHMM was supposed to slay and flopped too,even an award TV show couldn’t save it. AO is nowhere to be found on the charts. Even with her much talked about performance.

  87. Molly April 16, 2015

    Her most tragic era ever kiiii the downfall of a popstar kiiii

  88. Anne April 16, 2015

    Both Beyoncé and Rihanna are now in the same boat when it comes to number one songs. Both of them have stated that getting #1 singles is not their goal anymore (Bey said it before she released 4 and Rihanna is now saying the same thing, even acknowledging that her #1s aren’t timeless classics. Beyoncé has fewer #1, but more timeless hits. The question remains, can Rihanna sell albums w/out numbers ones like Beyonce has clearly proven she can do, and will Rihanna meet her goal of finally releasing timeless music this era??

  89. Slay_Hive April 16, 2015

    • Slay_Hive April 16, 2015

      WTF is so powerful about this repetitive, vocally uninspiring song other than the images and videos she chose to exploit in the video? Beyoncè has “I Was Here”. Rihanna is only taking notes and trying to have her “4” era but the music seems contrived and she’s not being true to herself. No one is buying this desperate plea for attention and respect.

  99. Slay_Hive April 16, 2015

    I mean even the legendary Mariah had her flop era after having a string of #1 hits. It was bound to happen to Rihanna too. The industry is changing and she’s become boring and predictable. She has not improved in her talent nor artistry. Still way below lackluster performing skills and those weak squeaking out of tune vocals are dated. Her pop star days are numbered and she knows it. At least Beyoncè will always have her talent to fall on.

  100. you wanna be on tv I bet April 16, 2015

    Nice music video
