Like I said in the music review post, I think it is kinda boring and that it is missing something. I love looking at her cause she is really pretty, and her clothing was really colorful/edgy…but writhing around and making sexy poses just doesnt cut it. SHE should have been the one racing one of the guys, or she should have had more interaction with the men.

It would have been great if they really rocked this video out and focused on the racing more, but its still a cute video.

Sweet Jesus!!! Is this what is called todays standard of music. For some reason her singing voices always sound whiney to me. I liked her song “Umbrella” I’m not feeling this new song by Rihanna.

As i was watching this video i couldnt help but think “Damn, this bitch is FUCKIN HOT!”

Too bad i cant say the same for the song or the video. The video concept was in the right direction, but it fell short. They didnt go far with it. It was lacking and very weak. And am i the only one who’s tired of seein Ri in that damn ugly UMbrella Dress?

She is str8 up channeling some FeFe Dobson, although im sure some of u would call it ripping off FeFe’s style.

this message board is gonna fill up QUICK. soon we gon’ have like 10 pages, everyone raggin about Rihanna.

I could care less about what Rihanna does next. She’s lost my interest. She still sexy though.

20.

NoMoSoul

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 /

oh, and another thing, why did i get the feeling that Rihanna didn’t know what the hell she was doing half the time? All her dance moves were partially executed and she looked like she was following some awful choreography that she forgot most of the time.

Seems to me that every new female singer, pop or R&B, feels the need to bend over a lot. Usually its a chair. In this video it just happened to be a car.

21.

NoMoSoul

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 /

oh, im sorry. New AND OLD pop and R&B singers. the ones tryin to appeal to the mass crowd by bending over and showin their asses.

Like Joss Stone said “They’re just highly paid strippers. Its true. ”

She was pretty close to the truth.

22.

yes

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 /

love it!!!! she should have been racing too though

Oh, she’s so ridiculous, she can’t even shake her booty (and it was the only thing we could attempt from her) she’s far from moving like Beyoncé she moves like a robot. her new album contains good songs : rehab, breakin’ dishes, umbrella and shut up and drive but the clip is so crap she’s just so unclassy it could have been so better and the result is crap. Oh Riri wake up and move a little natural this choregraphy wasn’t too difficult even if ridiculous loot at Ciara and Beyoncé they move so good.

I liked the video and song….it has a lil diversity to it….not the typical black girls theme…a shame people cant see that….we need a change man!!lol

Being different is cool but only if its authentic…….this “new” Rihanna sound and image seems very contrived and false…..good luck to her, becuase singing is not her first talent, so her looks and all the gimmicks in the world should help to shift her album to the masses!

WAY TO GO NO TALENT PRETTY LIGHTSKINNED GIRLS!! GO GET YOURS!!……….

>>>>>> Not only would Fefe Dobson have killed that track but also she would have been straight wild in the video, and I don’t mean “sex kitten” wild, I mean straight “I bet I can drive faster than you, let’s race” wild, she would have been on fiyaah. Rihanna is BEAUTIFUL, but this image sex-kitten-rock-star image isn’t her PERIOD. You can sense when people are themselves image wise, Teairra Mari wasn’t herself, Kelis is herself, the PussyCat Dolls that’s part of who they are, and Rihanna nope that’s not her.

the whole race thing was cool.

Comments 19-21, I agree. I actually had to mute the video half-way through because her “singing” was pissing me off. People who don’t know who Fefe Dobson is, Google her and see the images. Rihanna (or her publicists and stylists) straight jacked her entire image. Her whole new “rock-chick” thing is just so contrived, it’s like she’s just another industry puppet. I appreciate that she doing something “different”

Is this a remake or sample of a song called Blue Monday? Does anyone know? It sounds like a rock song from the 80’s called Blue Monday.

whytry?

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 /

The treatment reminds me of an extended auto commercial. She looks great! No matter what anyone else thinks of how forced her new “image” may be I smell another #1 hit & Video.

By the way, those leopard pumps are HOTTT!

i am rihanna fan but i really dont like the vid. true, it was missin somethin. i would not have pick this fuh a second single over BREAKIN DISHES, PUSH UP ON ME or HATE THAT I LOVE U.

to the haters sayin fefe wateva? where is ms fefe? has she had big hits like rihanna? if the style did not work fuh her then dont let it go to waste, RIHANNA HAS IT AND SHE IS PUTTIN THE STYLE TO GOOD USE.

robin thicke is an RandB artiste, right? why cant rihanna sing pop/rock? i thought that music was universal.

@somefool above, why should rihanna shake booty? is she in a strip club?

rihanna is so GORGEOUS in this vid but the vid needed more work.

the video is ok.. the song has to grow on me because im not feeling it. I agree with whoever said she should have been racing the guys in the video and her fefe dobson wannabe image.

I won’t even lie.
Rihanna is freaking gorgeous in this video.
I loved every look she had.
But, this video doesn’t really follow the lyrics of the song.
And I do love her ‘rock glam’ look. Really, I do…but she seems more like she’s playing dress up than actually being comfortable and ‘rocking out’.

44.

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 /

WTF WAS THAT!!!!!! STR8 UP GARBAGE, THE VIDEO CONCEPT WAS POORLY EXCUTED. FEFE DOBSON WOULD HAVE MURDERED THIS SONG WITH A KICK AZZ VIDEO ,WITH MORE AUTHENTICITY. RIHANNA REALLY NEED TO RETHINK ON HER MUSIC DIRECTION,COZ THIS OVERNIGHT SEX KITTEN AND GLAM ROCK LOOK IS GETTIN TIRED AND OLD ALREADY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S REALLY NOT HER STYLE. CAN THE REAL RIHANNA PLS STAND!!

I really don’t care about the song, not my steez, but Jay’s west indian side-dish is blossoming nicely. I hope Beyonce and homegirl get in a little cat fight and it gets put up on youtube….maybe some cursing…some hair pulling…and some groping…sweat glistening off of the curves, cloth ripping just right, screaming, moaning, rough, but tender spanking, maybe even ass-…ok i better stop, my imagination almost got away. Shit, I need a smoke. Peace.

OH MY yess…I remember FEFE DOBSON…NOW SHE COULD SING AND SHE WAS REAL GLAM ROCK.

What this is, is forced, next thing you know she will start rapping in Hindu and ppl will go fall for it

Umm the video was bland. I expected more from the video. Wasn’t it reported tat they spent like $600,000 on her next two videos. Well the money must be in the cars cause this video is boring as all hell. Oh and please Rihanna stop trying to dance because every time she tries it looks so half assed and weak. She can’t even swing a towel around with gusto. She looks great but as usual that’s to be expected because she’s not working with much else so slap some booty shorts on and call it a day.

53.

Numba

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 /

I don’t even know what to say about this.

Who is RIhanna really ? Who is she ? This chick is such a puppet. Sad thing is she makes no money from her singles - she doesn’t write her own stuff, if this album doesn’t work out I don’t want to hear no Esssence sob stories about the label ripped her off blah blah blah.

54.

PaulsWoman

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 /

Wow. This is where music is at these days? This is truly a sad day in american history. rihanna is yet to convince anyone that this punk rock image is really hers. leave that to the ashlee simpson, Avril Lavigne, Hillary Duffs and maybe even Kelly Clarksons of the world. Is that “sticking her ass out” the only “sexy” move that she knows? She is as stiff as a long broom.

55.

LOL @ #44 CJ
Can the real Rihanna please stand up!

56.

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 /

LOL Numba you wild, but I feel you.

I found out this song is really a sample of the song Blue Monday, which Rihanna had probably never heard before in her life. Rihanna, please give your image back to the people who really know how to use it.

If you don’t listen to pop music then more than likely you will not like this type of song. It is not garbage & is actually the main favorite in most of her cd reviews. Most of us hip-hop & r&b people who don’t listen to anything other than that won’t like this song, but these pop stations love Rihanna. They are the reason she is number one & has be number one for past couple weeks on the billboard charts. They are the reason she has put out three successful cds in 3 years with each one selling more than the last. Yes, she has tunred from what we expected of her, but when most artists do that, that is whey they succeed beyond what is expected. I’ve never been a Rihanna fan, but this album is a mixture of summa’ everything & is a great album to clean your house to. LOL! With that being said, listen to the lyrics past the music & you will see why this song is going to be number one. Sex sells & Ri is making that damn money!

OMG i was jus searchin up fefe dobson cuz sum1 happened to mention her, and almost every post that hasto do wit rihanna and her new album talks about swagger jackin fefe…

now i kinda like this new rihanna. allow her to do wat she wants. she OBVIOUSLY is making money andf enjoys wat she does. let the girl be.

its not like u guys will stop breathing if shes different. just turn off the radio/tv. change the damn channel

an oppinion is an oppinion but sumtymes yall just hate hard and make un neccessary commnts

Rihanna is just plain CUTE, that is as far as she will ever go. DEF JAM PEOPLE, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS GIRL A SINGER AND DANCER, it’s not in her, she actually looks like she is lip singing in the VIDEO, her dancing is terrible and if she don’t be HALF NAKED she is threw.

People are letting you, the label, her, the artist, know that they are not buing this new look and sound by the sales of her CD she fell to #7 after her first week!!!!!!!!!!!BRING HER BACK IN; MAYBE 2-3 YEARS, MIND YOU AFTER VOCAL AND DANCE LESSONS. OK!!!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU

68.

Lady Architect

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 /

I’m really digging the song and the video…I think it’s a strong marketing move for her because she has a lot of different audiences and she has to appeal to all of them…I don’t know why people are complaining about her being an R&B singer when she was never considered one in the first place….she has always been a pop singer and she specifically said this album is filled with a bit of everything….we got umbrella, now this is her rock track, and maybe next she’ll do the reggae track on the album….some people need to look up marketing strategies…maybe you would understand why so many R&B singers are not as successful…and the ones that are have crossover tracks on their albums.

69.

Angel

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 /

She has a lot of good songs on her album so I can’t figure out why she would put this as her next single. I think she should release Breakin Dishes, Sell me Candy, Rehab, or even the joint she did with JT. But theres something about this gurl that I like it. Maybe it’s her hair. LOL

70.

vintage~amour

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 /

did that cut the video budget in the rihanna camp this album round? umberella was a poorly made/thought up video and so is this-but it’ll probably grow on me (like just about every other rihanna song)

i don’t mind the song-but that’s probably because i’m a bit more open minded when it comes to music, but i feel they’ve just gone and swagger-jacked Fefe dobson and thrown some sexiness in.

and pls don’t call me a hater-i actually like the girl-i just know she can do better

71.

vintage~amour

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 /

oh yeah-and this new image doesn’t look like a “natural” transition it looks so forced and out of the blue. her look during her ‘music of the sun’ days look more natural to me.

Damn black women never support each other, all saying yall hate rhianna, but yall loove Ashlee, Kelly clarkson, jessica simpson, and Avril?

and for the record Ashlee nor Avril can sing either, I see what black men be saying black women are haters!

This dose not look like her style. She is doing what everyone else is telling her she isn’t punk rock.

Im black but I love rock music, so its safe to say, rock music aint just for white people dammit. What are black people only supposed to like so-called hip hop and just r&b. When first heard the song I was like no but now Im like yeaahhhh!!LOL!
She looks really cute in the video but if you gonna rock out Riri, girl I mean you really gonna have to get in it and rock out like you lost your entire mind.

PS. Rock music was invented by us black folk but yt came and took our sh*t. Look up your history.

Love,Peace,&&Honeyy
