the beat is similar to ”Question Existing” only a bit though..

@JSCENE the things is riri is “on top” in a different way. when it comes to record sales, she is not on top. for all the promotion she did, she should have sold more. he album didn’t do as well as hoped. it’s her style that makes ppl remember her (the posh bob then cutting her hair like fefe dobson, the clothing, etc.). it’s her stylist that keeps her on top. and it doesn’t hurt that she’s caribbean- she looks different than american black girls so white ppl are in awe of her (like when my white friends see garcelle, they go crazy b/c she looks “exotic” to them). her clothes scream confidence (we don’t know if she truly is confident but she wears clothes that make her appear more confident) aside from all of that, riri has nothing to back her up. she can’t perform (no stage presence), can;t sing (she has improved though but she now sounds like a bee wannabe). and is she really more original than bee? i mean does copying other ppl’s originality make you original as well? bee is very bland and copies tina on stage, but in her daily life, she doesn’t copy anyone (she’s still bland and has no style to me but at least that “no style” state she is in, is all her own). riri literally cut her hair into that really really short cut with the side-swept bangs like fefe dobson (who she once said she admired) and ppl think she’s original for copying someone else. i find that to be interesting honestly. either way, riri is not a threat to bee musically and both are very very overrated. neither will be legends and their music sucks

Round of a applause…. i see abit of the beat from ”Question Exisitng”.

i like the song, hot beat and im pretty sure it will do well on the charts/radio! All yall who keep sayin yall “Im not a hater but rih…” are haters. Why cant yall just say whether you like or dislike a song, u always have to start sayin things to make artists seem so bad. So what she had a bad review i know almost every artist has had a bad review before so get over it. And the comparisons to her and people who have been in the game for over decades is retarded to me, let the girl grow up and get better; she is only twenty years old you know! And she has accomplished more than what any of the people you guys have mentioned when the were at this point in their careers!

^^Not “a” bad review, REVIEWS

Its not a big deal beyonce has had her fair share of bad reviews she got bad reviews for b day.

my comment was @ Scorpio

“Ciara sells more albums but…..” umm isn’t that what an artist is suppose to do??

I use to really like Rihanna because she was young and seemed to have a big future ahead of her. I dispise her now because she isn’t evolving or at least TRYING to evolve or anything. She’s a label puppet and i don’t remember the last time a lable puppet ever became a superstar, srry but i don’t. Anyway It’s just a song. Lets move on to more important things like how the Clintons need to STOP attacking OBAMA so much. Baby jesus they are so angry.

!!!Man i cant STAND Rihanna stanky butt she get on my last nerves n plus she dating my man Chris Brown so im really not fillin her butt right now lol!!!!

nothing but love you deserve the stan of the year award! You say you’re not a rihanna stan but you’ve defended her more than jscene crazy ass. So you are definitely a stan who needs to sit down somewhere because anybody in their right mind who thinks this talentless girl is a threat to Beyonce of all people, really must be a rihanna stan. I could see if you said she’s a threat to ciara as an overall artist but beyonce? You must be on crack. Bday got bad reviews for the album but on tour she got all good reviews except for 1 or 2 and both her album and tour did extremely well and sold millions which is why she made it into Forbes this year as the richest woman in rnb for making 27 million off her album, tour, endorsements, clothing line, etc. Rihanna on the other hand got okay album reviews but her album flopped in the U.S and her tour has been getting more bad reviews than good ones. The difference between Beyonce (talent) and Rihanna (no talent) is that Beyonce got all that backlash BUT still sold millions and had one of the top album and tours of 06/07. Rihanna on the other hand got all hyped up but her album didnt do well in the U.S and critics are bashing her overseas so there’s a big difference between the two. Also whoever said Rihanna is more successful than others were at 20 that’s a huge lie. Can you say Brandy? She was more successful than Rihanna when she was 20. Brandy, Monica, Beyonce/DC they all had lots of success and respect at 20 than Rihanna does now.

But its okay let the Rihanna stans enjoy her for the time being because even they know she wont be around long. People are going to get sick of her stylist style soon and then what is she going to fall back on? Her talent? LOL Just take these comments for example. Rihanna only gets positive comments when it comes to fashion. Musicwise all you hear people say is she sucks and can’t sing. So please tell me how in the world someone who only gets positive comments when it comes to fashion will have longevity? LOL I mean I really feel sorry for Rihanna stans because they are hyping her up the same way Ashanti Mya and all their stans hyped them but look where they’re at now. Well Ashanti is improving at least but her stans thought she would last forever too. The only ones who will be around for a long time are Mary Mariah Beyonce and Alicia because they have talent. So enjoy Rihanna while she’s here because as soon as her stylist style gets old its a done deal for her. You can clearly see what people think of her music and her voice. lmao

Oh please GTFOH you call me a stan but yet you sit there writing a four page letter to hype up beyonce on a Rhianna post.. make any sense to you i think not. smh

*@ Ashley*

Lol, for a second I thought that this was a cover of that CLASSIC Madonna song, of the same name.

i think this is all getting out of hand. Im a fan of both ladies and no one is claiming that rihanna is a better singer or as good as beyonce. The fact is, whatever formula rihannas marketing team is using is working. Thats the point people are trying to make. Its not about rihannas lackluster sales, its the fact that she is in such high demand. Whether shes original or not can be argued but beyonce isnt always original herself. Its also very hard to be completely original because there have been so many people that have done so much before us. And for people to say that rihanna will never reach beyonces status because she cant sing are FOOLS. Britney Spears can’t sing like Beyonce but she is considered a huge international superstar. At the end of the day its about your fanbase not who can sing better. Britney Spears Blackout album, had no promotion, sold over 2 mil copies worldwide, and was #1, #2 in a quite a few countries. Britney spears album sold 500,000 alone in the US and we all know home girl is a mess right now and isnt TOURING, DOING RADIO SHOWS, Television appearances…which is what an artist does to promote their album to get sales. Britney doesnt have to do shit and still sale records faster then Rihanna. Rihanna with no promotion probably wouldnt have sold 500,000 worldwide. The problem with Rihanna is that she never really had a fan base until GGGB. Now shes racking in fans left and right because of Umbrella and the new look. All Im saying its not about who has the better singing voice, or stage presence its about who has the solid fanbase. Real fans buy records, go to concerts.. Beyonce, Britney, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake all have huge fanbases. Rihannas career, though 3 albums in has JUST BEGUN. If she keeps pushing her way like she is now, one day beyonces team might not release an album the same time rihanna does because it might “affect” her album sales.. you never know.

How is it that Neyo and his partners can actually sell the SAME SONG OVER AND OVER AGAIN?! I really don’t get that… I have heard this song 4 or 5 times over the last few years and, frankly, I’m over it. So, thumbs down.
And, I can believe the Rihanna vs Beyonce thing came up (always does) but you people who keep saying “nobody is checking for Rihanna” are either the most delusional people in the world or Mormons/Buddhist monks/Hippies…either way your ignorance would be excused…the former would make you crazy, the latter, someone with no need for electricity. The woman has been awarded at almost every award show in the world this year and a constant presence on very popular blogs and tabloids and magazine covers and (this one I just learned, by the way) the fact that she is, by a landslide, the #1 celebrity when it comes to inquiries about fashion/style on one of the most famous fashion blogs in the world? So….are you crazy?

@ solizzay

*standing ovation*

Oh Lord I see the regular Leigon of retards are writing editorials about thier favorite artist..WHO CARES!!! anyway the song is ok…I m kinda indifferent about it , she sounds the same to me..and lets be honest it is kinda Irreplacableish..but all Stargate songs are with thier “one size fits all” production..give it some time like someone else said the “white” Hot 100 stations will eat this up and well all be subjected to hearing it constantly! UGGH

@ nothing but love
You write essays your damn self. Shut the hell up you just mad because this is a rihanna post yet more people are talking about beyonce. that happens on every rihanna post because people know she will never be on beyonce level. Both you and the other rihanna stans are in denial. Even rihanna knows she’s not on her level. Didn’t she say Beyonce is her idol? I rest my case you mad that everything she does makes her look like a beyonce wannabe in everybody’s eyes. Oh well get over it.

@ Ashley
LOL You are killing these Rihanna stans.

@ Elle
See you are proving that everybody is right about Rihanna. You talk about her fashion when really its her stylist who is the fashionable one not Rihanna. Plus I thought she was a singer? Those few awards she won were mostly video awards and besides album sales are most important and she flopped in America. You rihanna stans are the delusional ones because anytime you’re known more for fashion than talent you wont last long.

@ Solizzay
You said real fans buy records right? Well you just contradicted yourself because in case you havent noticed nobody is buying Rihanna’s records especially in America. Please you’re just another Rihanna stan making excuses. Beyonce never has to worry about no Rihanna you can tell by these comments that she has way more fans and support which is why every black female artist gets compared to her. You are very wrong. Janet is a legend but because she cant sing well she’s not selling. Britney USED to sell lots of records and stuff but her last album didnt do as well as her others. Sorry but it is about talent. Alicia barely had any promotion and she sold over 700,000 first week. Rihanna with all that promotion and T-pain outsold her first week? LMAO So sorry but it is about who can sing.

I cant wait to hear the Rihanna stans excuses when the rerelease flops even more than the original. She betta hold onto her stylist with a vengence because thats all she got going for her. She continues to get bashed for her musical talent or lack there of.

Dis song sucks ass. No wonder people be clowning this chick she got to be da worst singer out there.
Oh and yall who keep comparing her to Bee go kill yourself. I don’t think even Rihanna would have the nerve to compare herself to her. Da fuck outta here.

@nikki

Hoe sit down you just mad cos no one aint checking for bouncy right now, your there talking about sales please dont get me started on bouncys bad day sales with all that promotion she did re releasing the album and puttin out 10 videos @ one time and only to sell a pathtic 3 million, so shut your hating ass up.

First of all let me just say the song was okay. Not good but not bad. And to the person that said no one is checking for Beyonce no more with her bad selling B-day album how is it that it was so bad yet she still sold more than Rihanna by 4 million copies. That’s right over 7 million albums and 6 million singles worldwide. How many did Rihanna sell again. With all of this hype and talk that Rihanna get you mean to tell me she didn’t even make the Forbes list. Did yall know Beyonce made it every year since she has been a solo artist even when she is barely doing anything. To whoever said Beyonce aint see Rihanna success when she was 20 go and get your facts straight. First album with Destinys Child over 9 million sold second album over 12 million sold. 3 grammys all before she was 20. I would go on but you Rihanna stans get the point. How many albums Rihanna sold so far 7 million with 3 albums and 1 grammy in 3 albums. Even the fact that Rihanna is a new artist and Beyonce has been out for over 10 years yet Beyonce continues to shut her down. So for all the silly people don’t ever think Rihanna can compete with Beyonce because B actually has talent and will one day be a legend. Do yall think Rihanna will make it to that status? Sorry I think not

^ How da fuck you gon talk about Bee album sales when Rihanna couldnt even go platinum? All that promotion Bee had paid off because she sold 3 million in the u.s and 7 worldwide. Justin sold 4 mill in the u.s so how did she flop. Get da fuck outta here with that she got in Forbes so her album must have been a success. Shit they still be playing her songs on the radio and that shit 2 yrs old. How aint nobody checking for her and she got two movies and another album coming out this year and rihanna gotta rerelease the same album that nobody bought the first time. Get yo ass outta here wit that you sound retarded. Just one of Bee’s albums has sold more than all 3 of Rihanna’s albums combined so how da fuck you gon talk about somebody else album sales when the person you stanning for cant even go numba 1 here after 3 albums. Fuck outta here.

That was @ number 245

number 246 you basically said the same shit I did. Rihanna and Bee are both beautiful but when it comes to the industry Beyonce shits on her on everything. That’s real talk you cant even deny that shit its no comparison.

LOL @ Chris and Chyna

Yall have to excuse ‘nothing but hate’ I mean this is a rihanna stan we’re talking about. She’s probably a dumb white teenager since we all know whites under the age of 17 are rihanna’s only fanbase. You never see her wack shit on BET. Thank God.

@ nothing but love

First of all I’m not a garden tool so you might want to learn how to spell ‘ho’ correctly it’s ‘ho’ not ‘hoe’ you dumb ass. Pick up a book. You just mad that nobody is checking for Rihanna no talent ass that’s why she cant even have a damn post without people saying she always trying to be like Beyonce. Check every female artist post on here and you will see people comparing them to Beyonce. That’s right Beyonce everybody knows she is that number one top chick. Nobody compares anybody to Rihanna because she is talentless and not the one on top. When she wins 5 grammy’s in one night OOPS my bad she only won 1 out of 6 so it’s too late for that. Well when she wins 10 grammy’s (ha!) or becomes the lead singer of the best selling female group of all time or the first female to receive the female artist of excellence or the first singer on the cover of SI the list goes on and on when she makes history like Beyonce or even does 1/2 of what Beyonce has already done then you can try and compare. But as of now she is just a no talent chick with a stylist who is always going to be looked at as a Beyonce wannabe. Poor Rihanna she wants to be her idol so bad. Too bad she cant sing or dance for shit. I’m done with this no talent chick post because judging by these comments people know she will never be Beyonce no matter how hard she tries so there’s nothing left to discuss. Good luck with trying to convince people that Rihanna is actually good for something.Hahaha!

Okay I dont care for neither rihanna or beyonce but nothingbutlove you really make no sense. Can you not read what this post is about? rihanna had just as much promotion as beyonce and is even rereleasing her album just like she did. So how can you talk about beyonce when rihanna had just as much promotion and sold way less than beyonce? beyonce still did good numbers but rihanna ass didnt sell shit in the states. I’m just saying if youre gonna bash one or the other at least make sense.

P.S This song is okay but it is nothing special just like every other rihanna song. Next!

No matter to any of this. Britney is the to pop princess:-) Love to Bey and Rih though!

RIHANNA IS OVVERATED AS HELL!!!!!!!! I HATE HER VOICE!!!!!!!! NOT HATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#243. Can you NOT READ? How the hell did I contradict myself? I stated that the reason rihanna isn’t selling is because she doesnt have a huge fan base like beyonce, britney spears, christina aguilera and that was just to name a few. Alicia Keys has a fanbase. Britney Spears is NOWHERE near a talented singer but my point was she sold the amount she did which is alot more then alot of up and coming artists without the usual typical promotion because she has a fanbase and if rihanna were to do the same she wouldnt even sell that much. LOL @ Alicia Keys barely had promotion. Alicia Keys had sooo much promotion with this album. She was on magazine covers left to right. it has nothing to do with talent esp. with the tricks of autotune that is used on EVERY ARTIST..even ms. keys has used it. Janet Jackson hasnt been selling not because she isnt the greatest singer but because not only has one album been terrible, but she had TWO terrible albums. The only reason she hasnt been dropped is because shes considered an icon. Any artist that isnt of iconic status such as brandy (who i love), gets dropped once their second album falls flat. If it was REALLY about talent then artists that have faded away would still be here today. But its not, its about who is hot,, who is making noise and who has followers. NO FANS = NO PLAY in the music industry. And you can argue with me all day, but I work with some close men in the industry and they’ll cosign on everything i have to say.

@ solizzay

Don’t pay any attention to nikki cos she either cant read or only reads what she wants to read, shes a certified bey stan so shes delusional like the rest of them

@ashley

boy do me a favor and shut the hell up already your there calling me a stan but yet your on a Rihanna post stilllllll talking about beyonce whilst hating on Rihanna, WHATS THE SENSE!!!

@nikki

You and ashley must be one in the same because your both a pair of bonafide haters, you need to get a life and stop wasting your time and energy hating on Rihanna. Its not a fact Rihanna isn’t talented its your opinion theres a DIFFERENCE!!! so fall back, both of u need to go dig a whole and go bury yourselfs

@chris and trina

firstly trina where did i say that that rhianna didn’t get any promotion??? and @ chris beyonce sells where low for someone of her calibre and you know it, heck i bet sony are still tryna recouperate their losses from b day sales it only sold 3 mill, when alicia did those numbers in like 4 MONTHS and she didn’t have no where near the same amount as promotion as beyonce, so thats how u know bey was struggling i know Rihanna’s sales weren’t good but i NEVER said they where so.. whats your point.

@Chyna

How u gonna talk about b day selling more than good girl gone bad when b day came out in 2006 and rianna’s came out over a YEAR later in 2007

WTF… is this serious?!?!!??! Ne-yo shoulda just sang this himself and made it a hidden.. way hidden track on his next c.d. this is some b.s.

………LEARN HOW TO SING YOU PATHETIC INDUSTRY HOE!!!

whoeva said she “fakin her way to the top” took the wordz rite outta my mouth

She always sounds good on cd… But she wont be able to perform it… Isnt that pathetic?!

And #47 i went to one of her show in paris… and arfff.. i was like please gimme my money back… shes just horrible on stage!

She needs to just quit while she’s ahead and start modeling cause her career is about to be over

I LOVE Breakin’ Dishes… I also like Push Up On Me!

I think Snoop is one chill dude…

[...] nika wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerptShe premiered her new single on KIIS FM’s On-Air with Ryan Seacrest this morning. Not exactly positive how I feel about this song, but whatever. Rihanna has really been going strong with this album. I was thinking that she perhaps would … [...]

Is a good song but it could be better!!! You might have to listen to it a few times to love it.. So give it a chance.

And with the comparing between Rihanna and Beyonce need to stop because their styles are different.. It would be very interesting if they do a song together…

nikki is so fuckin right! BEYONCE IS WHAT U CALL AN ETERTAINER, SHE CAN DRESS HER DAMN SELF AND LOOK GOOD SHE GOT HER OWN LINE SO CLEARLY SHE CAN STYLE, RIHANNA HAS A STYLIST THAT MAKES HER GOOD AND AS FAR IS TALENT LOL! PROMOTION AND HER RED SKIN GOT HER FAR! TEAIRRA MARI HAD SO MUCH TALENT, SHE HAD A 3 OCTAVE RANGE AND I SAW HER LIVE, THE CROWD WENT NUTS!, SHE WAS NOT PROMOTED WELL ENUFF SO SHE FLOPPED SO THAS THE ONLI REASON WHY SHES NOT ON TOP, AS FAR AS COMPARING BEY TO RI THERES NO FUCKIN COMPETITION, RIHANNA HAS DONE WELL IN 07 BUT B DAY SOLD OVER 7 MILLION AND SHE WON LIKE NIKKI SAID COUTLESS AWARDS WITH AND WITHOUT DC! SO STOP TRYIN TO ACT LIKE RIHANNAS THE SHIT WHEN HER AND DAT FOREHEAD AINT, IF SHE WAS A REAL ARTIST LIKE MC ALICIA AND BEY, THEY WUD BE POSTING ABOUT HER ONLI, WITH RIHANNA THEY POST THINGS ON FASHION AND THEN SWITCH TO BEYONCE CUZ THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO SAY HER ASS CANT SING AND PERFORING WISE! THAT GIRL CANT DO THAT EITHER, SO RIHANNA AND THAT FORHEAD NEEDA GET GONE LIKE HER SONG TAKE A BOW SAY, NICE SONG THO LMAO…RIHANNA PROVES ANYONE CAN GET A DEAL IF THEY LOOK GOOD!

I actually like the najority of her music. She is a gorgeous, well put together, and growing woman. She never claimed to be anything or anyone else than RIHANNA. She damned sure never claimed to be the best singer in the world. Some of you people just need to enjoy the music rather than critiqueing the whole process. Can you do it?

@ #226

Exactly…only 3 octaves but you bey stans exaggeragte her voice like she has a 5 octave range, even christina augilara (sp) has a higher octave range than her cuz she has 4…so just shut up
