Little Miss Sunshine, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, known more popularly as Rihanna has put out 3 albums in the past 3 years. With all the popularity and the success she has garnered from her single featuring her labelmate and president, Jay-Z entitled “Umbrella,” Rihanna has solidified herself as a crossover pop artist. She’s known throughout the world and has really put her foot forward into proving that she’s got staying power. And as I’ve predicted, Rihanna has for the most part, fully dropped the dancehall influence in her music, all but one and a half tracks. Although “Good Girl Gone Bad” is far from flawless, it has shown that Rihanna is trying to touch some different aspects of different kinds of music, so that she doesn’t have to be stuck in the typical R&B box. She pulls from a lot of different sounds to make an album that, like I said, is not perfect, but it’s consistent.

“Good Girl Gone Bad” hits shelves June 5th, so if you’re digging what you’ve heard so far, make sure you go out and cop the album.
The other day I was sitting around with a group of friends and they were talking about current music. Of course someone brought up Rhianna. I said that Rhianna represents all that’s wrong with the music industry because she can’t sing worth a damn, but yet she’s getting non-stop airplay. My friend’s first defense was to say “You’re just jealous [of her looks]” Now why is it that everytime I comment on this girl the first comment back is that I’m jealous of her looks? No one ever says I’m jealous because I can’t sing like her. (THANK GOD) They never defend her singing, but only her looks. Maybe because they also know that she sounds like nothing more than a cat accidentally caught in the dryer. I’m not hating on her looks (she is a beauty) but the girl can’t sing for shit.
i
*[disregard the "i" comment. lol]”
i`m really feelin` this album! no she isn`t the best singer in the world BUT she isn`t the worst either so iunno whut all the animosity is all about. like come on get off chick`s back she`s doin` her so u do u and keep it moving. anyway, i give props to her and all the producers she worked wit cuz the beats are tight and all the samples are on point, and yeah Rehab sounds like What Goes Around/Comes Around — Timbo and J.T. did that track for her ; and Hate That I Love You is very reminiscent of Sexy Love; and there are some Irreplaceable innuendos in Good Girl Gone Bad … but come on those ARE 2 Ne-yo tracks so i`m not surprised.
with that said i like the album alot and i`d give it a solid 8/10 [but that`s just MY opinion]
let the commenting continue …
oh and may i ask y Beyonce`s name is mentioned so many times in a RIHANNA thread … just wondering. lol
Damn are any of these posts about the Album??!! Any was “Push Up On Me”, “Say It”, “Rehab”, “Good Girl Gone Bad”, “Umbrella” & “Sell Me Candy” Are The SHIT!
Good Girl Gone Bad = Irreplaceable step cousin…still hot tho
Rihanna is 19 years old… just a kid trying to do her thing. Living the dream that many girls her age will love to live. She is not the best singer, so what, it doesn’t mean that she won’t be successful. She may not be the most talented, but she sure has been using the little she was given, unlike a lot of people. She is making a lot more money than some of the ppl sitting around crying her down for her lack of talent.
I like her spunk, and the fact that she isn’t afraid to take risks. I will be buying her CD the day it comes out. She is doing her thing, go and do yours.
I think the issue between Beyonce and Rihanna lies in the fact that Beyonce (even if her album sucks) is a way better singer than Rihanna. However Cassie, Paula Deanda, etc, are bad singers too and they’re on the charts so its not fair to just put Rihanna in the spotlight. Like many said, these girls (or guys) are famous because they have a pretty face and a good production team. I’m sure anyone with a decent face and moderate voice teamed up with Timbaland, Ne-yo, Darkchild, Tim and Bob, etc can produce hit albums.
Also, I was somewhat dissappointed with Stargate. Sexy Love = Hate That I Love You, even the BPM is the same. Good Girl Gone Bad = Irreplaceable. Stargate produced all four tracks and its obvious that they got lazy and just recycled the beats with some minor tweaks. So its not her fault that they decided to give her the same beats. However, those tracks were hits (and sounds nice) so I guess thats a good thing?
this is a mini pop classic.
LMAO WHEN R U HATERZ GOING TO STOP QUEEN OF R&B
What Rihanna, is doing is something original I like her voice it’s fresh and new. Her approach to singing is different, who said that R&B should be the standard for all singing? Rihanna, is dearing to be different I remember when many black people didn’t get Prince. Rihanna approach to singing and music is so inventive,fresh,creative it’s going get many traditionalist singers backs up. Rihanna, is giving all black female artist the option to be different and original. Before you cast your opinions, just lister and remove the narrow view of what makes a good singer. I like Rihanna, she no longer a next Beyonce she is a singer in her own right dearing to be different and original.
This is her best album yet! Each one was better than the last. 3 albums in 3 years shows that she’s a damn hard worker, plus, there’s tons unreleased tracks out there which shows she’s been selective in picking the best for each album. I wish other artists worked this hard so we don’t have to wait 4 years for their next album. Good Girl Gone Bad is a solid album; the first 6 tracks + a few at the end are all single material, so there’s hardly any filler (even those tracks are not bad), and I can listen to the album all the way through. Rihanna is also HOT! The only criticism I have is the cheap a$$ cardboard case they package the album in in the US. Otherwise, way to go Rihanna!
why is everyone hating on rihanna i mean the girl has pure talent , when she first came out everyone new that she wassnt going to be one them fluked out artists that sell one good hit.I’m digging rihanna nowadays becuase she is fresh , young and new, since she first came out. and y’all need to stop comparing her to beyonce because lets face it b is geeting old lol, and rihanna is new and young. plus dont compare her to cassie either, cause she cant seing at all lol,, so keep doing your thing rihanna, and plus i have to say since she put out 3 albums in three years, that only tell u that she can sing, america loves her music. well dont with good girl gone bad.
