I Just Saw Rhianna's "Unfaithful" Video: How the Hell Old Is she Again???

They just started airing this in Germany a few weeks ago, but I never paid attention to it as I'm not into the whole Rhianna wave...but...I just watched her video in its' entirety for the second time and just thought: 'how old is she?? Isn't this rather mature territory for a girl under 21 to be exploring via the MTV audience?'. I understand the the premise of the song being the usual young angst about love, being unfaithful to a boyfriend, etc., etc. But in this video her "lover" (ie, non boyfriend) is shown laying her out across a piano, and there's also a shot of them post-coitus, where even though she sits on the edge of the bed fully clothed, he lies sleeping (obviously nude), peacefully in the "afterglow", while she she's guilt ridden and agonizing over her infidelitous behavior. In an adult setting these are hardly themes that would make me bat an eye...goodness knows I've seen movies like "Unfaitful" with Diane Lane and Olivier Martinez and have totally eaten them up, but is Rhianna even 18 yet? And the lover in question that she's having the "affair" with, appears to be a few years past 21 if you get my drift. hmmm

If this is the girl I'm thinking of, I saw her CD on the rack at Border's and the sticker claims it comes with free Rhianna trading cards.

No lie.

Right? Her voice is bloody awful (IMO) and the song's subject matter has been driven into the ground in contemporary r'n'b.

God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me. Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE". They go hand in hand. You can't have one with out the other. Something is spoken, then followed by an action. That is

Rhianna is younger than me... but it seems like she is older than me... cause i wouldnt be singing songs like that... i dont know what i would sing about... but it wouldnt be about love... maybe about sweet hamsters... popcorn, candy... LOLOL just playing about the popcorn and candy but i would like to sing about hamsters... but i think rhianna is acting a lil to mature for her age... i dont even act like that... i went to open up my own back account... and you have to be atleast 16 with a parent... and the lady looked at me and asked how old i was... like she thought i was 14... im not like a normal or average 20 year old...

Good grief. Ne-Yo wrote it? I should have known. Can't deal with his sappy ass either. I'm not surprised to hear that she can't sing live.

I actually love this song.

It's very evocative.


I love the murderer line.

Most people are just bragging about cheating and saying how bad they feel.

Too direct. She's figurative, with the murder line.

And it makes me totally feel the pain of the boyfriend who senses his woman is cheating and it's just killing his spirit in side.

What I love most about this song ...is the complexity of her feelings ...she's visually seeing the pain on her man's face everyday as she leaves to creep, but she longs to to it anyway.

I really like this song.

OMG, I have no interest in this chic so wasn't going to bother with the thread but then decided to take a peak to see what the rant was about.

I've never seen the video but heard the song yesterday on a road trip and trying to find something decent on the radio. As soon as I heard this trash I turned the radio completely off but my friend made me turn it back on because he wanted to know how the song ended. When I realized she was saying I don't want to be a murderer I fell OUT! Not only are the lyrics HORRIBLE but her voice is God-awful. She sounds like a kid. If you don’t want to do it anymore (be unfaithful) then just stop doing it you non-singing miserable wench.

It wasn't the song that caught my attention at all. I still probably wouldn't be able to recognize it if I heard it on the radio.

I'm speaking specifically about the video images accompanying the song via music video. And watching that GROWN ass (but handsome) long haired piano player LAYING HER OUT on that piano (and ladies, you KNOW what I mean when I say the man was laying her down and about to lay her OUT) during rehearsal. They're about to do the horizontal mambo. If she was older, again, it wouldn't have phased me in the least. I've seen all the movies; that's grown folks' stuff and this is what happens from time to time. But at 17? 18? I don't want to see her in a black cabaret/cocktail dress being laid out in a rehearsal venue by one of her work collegues, who is clearly way older than she is. Hell, I'm around musicians all the damned time and THAT's even a little far out of a scenario for the ADULT artists I know, let alone some teenage girl who probably can't even SPELL "Kegel", or knows what she's talking about enough to portray it in a music video scenario like THIS confused.

lol I know exactly what you're saying but I'll probably never see it for myself because every time I see this girl I either turn or run in the other direction. From what I have seen of her, I'm not surprised. neutral
