How old r u because Rated R was hot mess. She was trying WAAAY too hard to be "gangsta n hard" on this album. She really did not put enough heart in this one either. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

the whoever it is you work for isn't? why would a record label, an artist, a publisher, etc., be any less concerned about numbers than you and your employer are? numbers put dinner on your table. numbers mean you get to come back tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, next whatever, to keep going. i'm sure there are people out there who work or make music or whatever just for shits and giggles, but for 99.99999% of us, the numbers are the primary motivator. | |

I mean, I guess "Rated R" didn't do what they thought it would (did it really have any big singles....singles were always her deal while her sales were usually respectable). Even if this was coming from the record company, it would just be wishful thinking and hype to keep her name out there.
Well but the album is not doing that bad. Sure it didn't have a big opening week but it is close to 0,7m (US alone) and it is still in the Top 40 so it could well reach over a million if they just let it and yes it had hit singles ('Russian Roulette' #9 US, #2 UK, 'Hard' #8 US and 'Rude Boy' will be this week in the UK Top 5 and the US Top 10), And with 'Rude Boy' shaping to be the biggest hit from the album, its sales could very well explode now [Edited 2/27/10 18:41pm] Don't kid yourself. Rated R is over. |

I am really feeling 'rude boy' - i usually hate her music.
However i can't believe how many videos she has done in the last few months - I guess her label is really pushing for 'rated r' to be a hit. | |

lastdecember said: To be honest Def Jam is scrambling to get her back in for a record, though this may be her better material, by far, the public doesnt want the 'darker" Rihanna and lets not forget, Rihanna is a brand that is being sold, so i think you will see a total 360 on a rushed album, pop/dance very lightwieght to regain lost revenue on this record
Exactly. And we can blame Beyonce's Sasha Fierce & Lady Gaga's illuminati-inspired gimmicks for this Dark Rhianna mess. And WTF is going on with all of these black female artists shaving the side of their heads? Now I notice Mel B going down that dark path.  | |

she's released so much music over the last 4 years. i think she needs to find her musical identity...
I´d put it this way. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

[b] Exactly. And we can blame Beyonce's Sasha Fierce & Lady Gaga's illuminati-inspired gimmicks for this Dark Rhianna mess. I look forward to reading your manifesto one day. I don't think I've ever come across one that name-checks Beyonce or Gaga  | |

Somehow I don't think it goes away that quickly. 
 Lenon Honors talks about THAT^ in one of his documentaries. He never mention the entity by name. But some of us already know....  | |
