OMG! She looks SO good. She is a great print model.
How many times are they going to headline an article with her talking about Jay-Z?!
She is releasing videos almost as fast as albums.

@ 4 i think they are releasing videos and singles so fast b/c they are trying to get another hit single that will be as big of a pop single as umbrella but I really doubt it will happen. As much as I hate umbrella i think it was the standout song on the album. Plus her album hasn’t even hit gold yet so if they get another hit single the single can help push the album to gold.
She looks good. She should have been a model instead of a singer she’s not very good at that IMO.She could have made it big as a print model.

She looks nice on the covers. The video is fun and she looks pretty, but I don’t really like the song. I can’t wait for her and the Ne-yo video.

SHE CAN MAKE IT BIG AS A RUNWAY MODEL, SHE IS FIVE NINE, SIZE 2 BUT SHE CANT SING!
RIHANNA DO MODELING. YOU WILL MAKE IT IN THAT INDUSTRY WITH A LONG CAREER.

How old is this chick? 18? Why did the execs do the whoring out so early in the stage of her career? And please stop with the videos! She doesn’t even get her fans to get into one song, and then she just pops out with another one. She should try and make her album stretch like Chris Brown did his first one.

damn according to the article linked she just hit platinum in canada…so maybe in the u.s. its not as hot but regardless hitting platinum anywhere and with the buzz shes creating she is not about to fade away anytime soon.

some of y’all is ridiculous!! #12 your comment was stupid, plain stupid. her fans have her albums and are more likely looking forward to some visual to accompany the sound. I’m a fan, I’m enjoying the videos. Just cuz they playin don’t mean you have to watch.

The U.S. only covers so much of record sales. Artist like Rihanna, Kelly Rowland and Kelis are killin it overseas. Just because her work may have first released in the States doesn’t mean her fanbase stops here. How do you think Michael Jackson’s crazy ass has been able to tread water for so long.

You’re a fan that’s enjoying the videos. That’s cool. I’m not. I’m saying I don’t even have time to enjoy a video before she puts out another one. Ain’t that damn serious.

well rihana is an artist that is smart because as she stated she had more control over this album than any of her previous albums so in turn instead of catering to the black audience she catered to the white audience by going pop on this album…….she knows what is going to aid her in the long run POP which is predominatly filled with white audiences rather than R&B……so with that being said dont really like her album i mean its clear to see the audience she’s trying to attract but i definitely think it was a genius move to cater to the white folks thats going to buy your stuff……

I got Rihanna’s album.I love EVERY single on there.
But I think she should just slow it down.
I mean we already have Beyonce being over exposed and she’s putting out singles faster than Speedy Gonzales.
If Rihanna releases her videos on a mild pace,and let people feel what she’s putting out,I gaurantee her album will atleast go Gold.Her last album went Platinum in Canada.

@ #16- Aikes,
Platinum in Canada is only 100,000 copies.. not 1,000,000 like in the U.S. so thats really not a big deal buddy

Why is she throwin up the ROC sign? I know she’s signed to Def Jam, and affiliated with Jay, but why is she throwin up the ROC? @ 4:34
Am I reading too much into it, but didnt she do the same thing in Shut up and Drive? Ne-yo dont be throwin up the roc sign!

No disrespect to the fans, Rihanna is a very beautiful girl, but if she was “unstoppable” and had “the game on lock” Jay-Z would have been happy with her sales which he is NOT. And they wouldn’t be spending cash so fast on videos.
And PLATINUM in Canada IS only 100 000 units so like someone else said, just because she went PLATINUM there doesn’t mean she’s selling.

Rihanna and Kelis will always kill it in fashion shoots because they are slim and tall like models.
35.
NoirFemme
Saturday, July 21, 2007 /
And why are they acting as though “Shut Up and Drive” wasn’t released–after it was rumored Def Jam spent 600K on the video? And sales overseas are easy to do when their criteria for “gold” and “platinum” are not 500,000 and 1,000,000 like in America.
Ah well, like I said, Rihanna can always fall back on endorsements like Anna Kournikova because she’s attractive, tall and slim.

i don’t like shut up and drive. but i do like don’t stop the music, DA SONG IS OF THE HOOK.
@ any of yall that was saying RI RI grew her hair out yall some fools. come on, who didn’t know that is weave in her hair. i mean yea she has green eyes but her hair is nappy as mine. lol nothing wrong wit that.
PROOF: SHE SAID THAT “DON’T STOP THE MUSIC” WAS SHOT 1 WEEK AFTER “SHUT UP AND DRIVE”. COMPARE MA GIRLS HAIR IN THE BOTH VIDEOS. NOBODIES HAIR GROWS SO LONG IN 1 WEEK.

she looks good in the pics, but the video is wack. plus i cna see why the video sucks,because rihanna directed the video(states on the video info), she needs to leave that to the professionals. FYI she’s still not gold in america,even with all the hype and promotion she recieved

I TAKE BACK WHEN I SAID THAT RHIANNA’S CD WAS TRASH. IT ACTUALLY HAS GREW ON ME. JUST THE OTHER DAY I HEARD MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER SINGIN ” PLEASE DON’T STOP THE MUSIC” IN HER ROOM, I WAS LIKE AWWWWWWWW, SHE PICKS UP MUSIC SO FAST! RHIANNA LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, AND I’M GLAD SHE CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT GOOD GIRL GONE BAD. I ALSO LIKE #11 TOO!

If you are referring to #27’s comment about the hair growing, she said they are MAKING IT LOOK LIKE the hair is growing. Meaning we all know it is a wig.

OMG! This trick said in her interview,
“I wouldnt have wanted to date white guys before-but they are killing it right now. Justin Timberlake, Orlando Bloom… Every hot guy I see now is white” WTF!!!
She has officially crossed to the dark side where she will say or do anything to appeal to whitey. Yes, I know her dad is a white Bajan.

#7 get informed. The album surpassed gold sales’ it’s already platinum world wide. I was digging the song before the vid. came out, but, if they shot the video the day after “shut up and drive”, it’s probably from the same director, and i wasn’t really feeling shut up and drive, so, with that being said, i think the video could of been a lot better.
She’s cute though.

Im glad her record is speaking for itself and whatever people are saying about not liking her music and she cant sing and her forehead is big are just looking stupid at this point because all that junk was just opinions and some haters because she is making it happen and I am glad she is taking her music a different direction and not depending on one race to make it because for what i can see there is only room for one star in the black race!!!!!

She sexy for sure smashable but as an artist she is subpar though on her album she had couple of good joints but you don’t have to be the greatest artist in the world to have hits ask Ashanti

I think Rihanna is killin’ it this year. Every time I see her, I love her new look even more. Anything is better than blond these dayz. “Please don’t stop the music” is a great new single, but I would like to see “Push up on me” (track 2 on GGGBad), as a single, because that joint is poppin fo’ realz.

Why oh Why all the negativity? I dont understand it. Atleast Ri-Ri comes off as a real person/ she has personality, not just an aura when she is onstage(sasha) but when she is off stage as well. She does not apprea robotic & you can tell she doesnt spend hours a day rehearsing lines of what she will be saying at her next interview. I like Ri-Ri her vocie is different which makes her stand out even more. On top of that she doesnt have to over do it & try hard to be sexy. And Billboard does show her a gold so where are you people getting you info? Beyonce?

I was watching an interview with her, she changed her style because she was a little tired of looking like the “Girl next door”. She wanted to be the bad girl. This industry kills me with that. Mariah Carey, Christina A. Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson, Rihanaa, need I go on.
I like her look, because its different.

@48, how about she said she wants to be the next madonna, HA!! she can forget that. I mean I like Rihanna but I don’t love Rihanna. And as far as sales go, she was and still is a SINGLES artist, I mean think about it people, when you release 3 albums less than 2 years something is not right. That means you albums aren’t selling cause if they were, she could have rode them longer thant 6 or so months. She has a couple of hits, but her album sales still don’t reflect them. Music of the sun only went gold because of shipments. A Girl Like Me barely went Platinum, and GGGB at the rate its going my hit platinum by christmas. But in my view she is releasing the wrong singles. Lemme Get That or Breakin’ Dishes should be singles, not Shut Up and Drive and Don’t Stop The Music. But I guess time will tell.

OKAY SOME OF THESE COMMENTS REALLY SADDEN ME. I ADMIRE RHIANNA, ALTHOUGH SHE MAY BE LIL OVERDONE WITH THE IMAGE, SHE STILL DARED TO BE DIFFERENT AND ISNT THIS WHAT THE WHOLE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS ABOUT?, PERSONAL DEVELOPEMENT, GROWING AND CHANGING. SHE IS GROWING UP, LET HER COME OUT HER A SHELL A LIL BIT, DAMN! NEGROES ALWAYS COMPLAINING AND CAN’T EVEN DO 1/4 OF WHAT THIS GIRL DO! GET LIKE RHI OR STFU! HER MARKETING TEAM IS GENUIS! AND I RESPECT RHIANNA FOR WANTING TO APPEAL TO ALLLLLLL AUDIENCES! WHITE PPL LOVE THIS SHYT!

I like this song. Maybe I should go out and buy the album.
Rihanna maybe isn’t the best singer in the world, but I don’t think she’s horrible. She’s slightly above average…but she disguises it fairly well by singing songs that actually suit her. Some singers need to take note of that.
I like the sound of her music now a lot more than her past work. She used to “play it safe” and I like that she’s experimenting a lot more.
This song isn’t spectacular, but it’s different, and it would definitely get people moving in the club, which was ultimately her goal to begin with.

Whether you fans wanna admit it or not, Rihanna is too over exposed and has too much of this image change and style. She’s only 19 and has changed her style tremendously like she’s a 25 year old. I don’t know why her fans really think she will last. Looks will only get you so far and when you are hot at the moment, already invented your only style and music, people forget about you a year or two after. I think her outfits on the cover look very cheap and she looks like what she is in the music industry, a manufactured barbie. I don’t care if she’s different or has style, this really proves how the industry got you naive folks twisted. They hide non-talent by looks, style, and hot beats.
With her album sales, I was surprised to find out how low their top sales are. 100,000 and less is considered to be #1 in many countries. From what I’ve seen her sales are very low for all this promo she’s getting.

her style? you mean her stylists.. aww, she should have put out a video for let me get that or sell me candy. breakin’ dishes is cool too.
dont buy the album… support people that can sing - like teedra moses, kerry hilson or trey songz! I downloaded it from limewire and saved a ton of money (geico).
we talk about her forehead and pignose but cant deny shes a pretty girl…
do your thang girl… its only two more albums till your 15 min run out!
