Wow, that's pretty bad. And I even kinda sort of like her. But this just not a good sound/look for her. It's like she suddenly realized her long-term bread and butter is going to be the gay club scene but she really has no idea of how to be a part of it.

She looks gorgeous, nice refreshing change after Rated R.

As usual, she can't do right by the Org, first she's too dark, now she's too...happy? Fun? Lightweight?

The video is no different from Prince standing in one spot in a cloud suit for Raspberry Beret. But when he does it, it's fine.

The chorus totally ruins this song.

And that video just screams laziness.

I like the song too. It's already up there on the dance charts and will probably keep Donna from getting to #1 on the dance chart, unfortunately:-(

Meh, it's an ok video, just like any other video in this genre.

I know it's hard for Americans to understand that a different music scene exists outside the US, but it's actually it's a HUGE market, and even if Americans feel like her 15 minutes are up (which couldn't be further than the truth) the rest of the world embraces this music (especially Europe) with open arms. She and/or her producers are smart enough to tap right into this right into this scene. Looking outside of US popularity and acceptance is always a smart move. That's when you've really made it big.

That, and I like her hair in this video. shrug

She looks happy. I like her hair style but am on the fence about the color. She seems thrilled with the 'Ronald McDonald red' though so good for her. biggrin The song is okay and the video....exists. If it costed more than $100,000 to make, than they seriously overpaid someone because I've seen videos on Youtube that were more elaborate and most of them were shot with a handheld camcorder ...just sayin'. Personally, I liked the dark Rhianna way more and thought 'Rated R' had a much better sound than this musical contribution, but that's just me.

Russian Roulette: #9 US, #2 UK (#1 in 4 other countries)

Hard: #8 US

Te Amo: #14 UK (Only international single)

Sure, none of them were Rude Boy or Umbrella, but they hardly failed.

Why do people always respond this way? My comment has nothing to do with the content, quality, talent etc of either song/artist/anything. The only thing I'm saying is that the plot of the two videos is exactly the same - there isn't one. It's really not that big of a deal.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*puts earrings back on*

Thats not saying much tho, Prince's videos were never really good.

If you replace the music from the thieves in the temple video, with the theme song to the Banana Splits, you're in for a hilarious time.

especially if your wasted...

That's because he usually does a lot more than that. That's all she EVER does.

She's not very talented. Her voice is annoying. Her singing is barely passable. She can't dance. She's like a breathing bratz doll, complete with trendy clothes and a big ass head.

Sorry if you picked her to be your "diva" or something but this broad ain't hittin' on nothing. Any youtube singing chick could have done this song. Its nothing special. SHE'S nothing special.

Not in videos, he doesn't. I don't even remember the last video he had where he wasn't just standing there looking good.

IMO Rihanna's singing has improved a lot but I get that her voice isn't for everyone.
