Is it wrong that I finally heard that "Umberrrrrella" shit... & I love it

Or that I REALLY like the Travis Barker mix of it??

Or now that I've heard the Travis Barker mix, I wanna hear (gulp) Prince sing it live w/ his

Or maybe that I downloaded "Shut Up & Drive" & "Rehab" as well (from the same album)

Is ANY of that wrong??



& what the fuck does Travis Barker DO anyway? I know he's some tatoo dude who apparently had a reality show @ some point (how unpopular is THAT? ) but I don't know WHY he's famous - is he a guitarist? Drummer? All around musician? Does he have a band? Does he sing? Or does he just get tatoos? That is, if he has any unmarked skin left



These are important matters folks

Check out the Mandy Moore version of Umbrella. She slowed it down ala Alanis Morrisette. I really like that one but haven't heard the Travis Barker mix.

Have you listened to Don't Stop the Music? Tight. And I can't stand this chick.

I saw her perform Umbrella at the Earth concert last month and I thought it was cool (although she lipsynced through most of it).

It was also the song at my nieces graduation and it definitely is quite catchy.

Who knows what this girl really looks like though. She wears so much makeup and always has wigs on. I'd like to see the real Rihanna, but I bet that will never happen now that she's becoming popular.

I have a severe adverse reaction to Mandy Moore so even if it's worth a listen I simply can't, that bitch almost made me drop Entourage from my season pass

Check out the Barker mix, lots of drums & guitar

Haven't heard Don't Stop the Music. The only reason I even gave her a shot is b/c I get bored w/ my workout music so fast, I'm becoming much more open to "stuff" I'll check that one out though

This fuckin' board

Anyway, I was just saying that I wondered what kind of a name is "Rihanna" untill I heard my mother pronounce it couple of days ago.

Turned out that its an Arabic name,,,,a pretty Arabic name @ that.

Ray-Hannah; thats how they pronounce it

Yes, it is a beautiful name and she's very beautiful too, but she's so young to be wearing all that makeup and fake hair. She should show her true self because I'm sure she's very attractive even without all of that crap.

Empress said:

She's young & impressionable & in the business & longs to be the "Black Madonna" - you ain't gonna see her sans makeup/wigs/shit unless you're a damn paparazzi!

CalhounSq said:

Okay, I'm loving it. Much more palatable to me.

Trust, I'm no fan of Mandy myself but heard it and liked it better than R's version.

But damn her for that Don’t Stop song. I musta played it 3 times in a row the first time I heard it. Good dance or work out record.

OMGOSH....i was just tellin' my daughter about the Travis Barker remix....


I loveeeee it.



I love the Chris Brown remix too


I'm sorry I think I like this chick....she is so damn beautiful....

If she ever fucks with her nose I will hunt her down, she's really cute Hopefully she hasn't had work done already @ this age!

She is very pretty but aside from her music one reason why I can’t stomach her is I know folks who worked with her on the first 2 albums. She’s more like a bad girl gone worse.

But damn if I’m not sold on this Travis mix.

her nose is so cute.



They've made her lose weight.


I've heard her say that...

Love this pic...

Rhondab said:

I didn't pay attention to her for the first album but I assume she HAD to be skinny to get the damn thing made How thin do they want the child to be

JackieBlue said:

Told ya

CalhounSq said:

that's what I said.....maybe she was tooooo bootylicious and boucy was having a fit and told Jay, "Make that heffa lose some ass"....



just sayin'....

YOU are SOOOOO WAY BEHIND


ANYWAYS im a big rihanna fan... she is my favorite artist this moment... Of course after michael jackson.. he always takes the number 1 spot

she is so gorgeous and a beautiful CARRIBEAN QUEEN

I think I acknowledged that when I said I "finally" heard it I don't listen to radio or watch videos... & I'm praying for you on that MJ shit

I just saw Blaque post on another thread, I'm expecting a good thrashing from him for this one

theodore said:

Oh, like what you're listening to is better

"Umbrella" is the song of the summer!

Cinnie said:

CalhounSq said:

yeah...this is a little surprising coming from you.



I tend to like sucky songs....except any suckiness coming from Van Hunt....ugh.

theodore said:

I'm offended by your use of the emoticon " " in regards to Rhianna

Cinnie said:

Why?

I started a thread on this song a few weeks ago. It's brilliant and you won't hear me saying that about current chart stuff very often. It's particularly surprising because the songs I've heard from her before were so bad. That's the advantage of artists who don't write their own songs. They can always get handed a good one by mistake.
