VIDEO: RIHANNA - “DISTURBIA”

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Rihanna released her newest video (Directed by Anthony Mandler) for the second single from Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded, “Disturbia.” In my opinion, this video is one of Rihanna’s best, and she definitely should have taken the advice from the label: to wait to use “Disturbia,” which she penned with Chris Brown, for the first single from her fourth album.

I absolutely love this video and its dark demented feel. Its definately something different and out the ordinary of what you would expect from “pop princess” Rihanna. The video is hot and very intriguing.

This video is hot! Very dark, very cutting edge. It kinda reminds me of Marilyn Manson or Nine Inch Nails, only a bit softer.

She’s killin’ it!

It is very “Queen Of The Damned,” and I can see why CBrown made this song-to correspond with his concept for the “Wall 2 Wall” video. Otherwise, it is interesting, and will definitely have some people talking. But the “Thriller” rip offs have to STOP! Artists be original please.

24.

Daaaayum! I havent seen a video with that much detail in YEARS…she took it back to the MJ days with that one. Definite congrats with this one…breath of fresh air from the norm.

This video gives me American Life meets Scream. This bytch has really done her homework and shes slappin bitches down who said shes not gonna make it…

Any one that has anything negative to say about the video is a true loser. Ri-ri snatched everyones wig. No need to deny it

31.

It’s most def an upgrade from Take A Bow though. I know that she won’t do a performance of this song justice. Idk. I love her but I wish she had more talent.

I liked the video, it was WAAAY different.

True she could’ve used “Disturbia” as her 1st single on the next album, but I want to see if she will continue to use this bad girl image on the next album or totally flip the script again!

34.

what else can you expect from the sickness known as rihanna? the girl is on point and has the proper backing to stay there!

if only we could just air this video on mute, it would be awesome. her vocals make my ears bleed.
i watched the first ten seconds with sound and immediately unplugged my speakers.
cool type video though.
bigg ups to Dave La Chapelle!

The video and song was excellent. Not R&B but I love it. RiRi is doing the damn thing. I really loved that…unlike the average song and video…its really on the edge, The concept is fantastic…(lick shot) Big up to RiRi.

I like the vid, undecided about the song

42.

you HAVE to notice that Rihanna has to rely on fancy editing, accessories, dramatic camera work to cover up the fact she has no performance personality, can’t dance and look like she is bored and tired. Umbrella was nothing but fancy editing while the child sat up there and look like she was going to fall over. Tired of this shit, people, get over her. You’re being hypnotized. There are plenty of artists, Black artist that create beautiful thoughtful music TODAY. Turn off your radio and TVs and go out and look for them!

43.

whut wut

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

I DONT LIKE IT! But I will hug the video director. He knows wassup…lol

However, there is nothing original about Rihanna ya’ll..
She’s been biting other artists concepts for years…ever since Pon De Replay..

I don’t get it! Why are people celebrating? There is nothing special about it….
Im not a hater either. I tend to tolerate her everyday…

This entire video reminds me of Janet Jackson’s “Rock With U” and Chistina Aquilera’s “Fighter” video…
its been done.
I will give her credit for pulling it off…and having a decent creative glam squad for the production…but everything seems forced.

From the minute I hit play I instantly thought of Janet and Christina…and even some of Michael Jackson..

What’s so sad is that Janet’s video was so much more creative (since it was all done in ONE shot) and no one called it “groundbreaking”….
Janet and Michael are the truth in video creation. Rihanna is a copy cat.
And all the hard core fans are gonna come running to her defense…
but outside her glam squad and her pretty looks…what else does she have?

Now..on the flip side…the beat is kinda kool.in some parts…and I bet the dance remixes will be tiight….but this song will be strong in the gay/alternative clubs rather in the hip hop clubs.

44.

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

DISTURBING….This reminds me of Madonna’s “frozen” video, Christina Aguerilla’s “fighter”, any Marilyn Manson video and that rock group everyone thought was a Christian group…its not original in the pop/rock market…but very different for r’n'b…..I found it unsettling….too dark…

45.

Call Me Mrs. Jones

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

There’s only a handful of artists that could pull this off: Madonna, Janet….for her to be in the category says a great deal. It’s very dark and totally appropriate for the song but she still manages to be sexy. The girl is bad. I love that she is creating a lane for herself and staying in it. Try comparing this to B lol

46.

Call Me Mrs. Jones

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

Oh yeah, and Christina. She pulled it off with Fighter, 4 sho…

PURE HOOOOOTTTTTNESSSSS!!

This song is in regular rotation for me and now the video makes me love it even more. Its sexy, creative, and like nothing else out.

For those that don’t like it - fall back and appreciate art in its rawest form.

WHY CANT PEOPLE JUST ACCEPT RIHANNA FOR WHAT SHE IS….WHATEVER SHE IS DOING IS WORKING…WHY SO MUCH HATE WELL ITS NOT HATE ITS YOUR OPINION BUT ITS USUALLY ALOT OF NEGATIVE COMMENTS GOING TOWARDS THE GIRL…I HIGHLY DOUBT SHE WOULD CARE CAUSE SHE HAS ENOUGH FANS TO KEEP HER GOING..

The video was nice however when you have such a mediocre song you have to a good video. It’s definitely her video concept wise other than that it still does nothing for me. And I know I’m gonna be burned at the stake for this next comment but what else is new…I CANNOT WAIT FOR “THE QUEEN” TO COME BACK BECAUSE MUSIC SUCKS MAJOR ASS WITHOUT HER. Yall know who I’m talking about!

JUST FROM SEEING THE PHOTOS FROM THE VIDEO SHOOT IT LOOKS LIKE A CRAZY VIDEO AND I CAN’T WAIT 2 SEE IT.

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

@39…what about the Take A Bow song and video? They both are soooo simplistic. What about the Unfaithful video? Probably the video that really put her on and made people take notice. People just like different stuff, that’s all. Everyone doesn’t have to belt and jiggle and shake all over the place. I can appreciate aaaall different kinds of stage presence and voices. People have different textures and colors and dynamics to their voice. The girl is no Whitney but she sing. Her tone is nasally, yes. But that’s how her instrument is made. I guess as a singer I can hear the difference between someone who flat out can’t sing and someone who just isn’t a power house. Anyway. Proceed!

I’m trying not to have this black, close-minded mentality when I see different stuff like this, I love unique people, but I might have to be close-minded on this, this video is crazier than a bessy bug. I am terrified, never watch this video at night

Parental Advisory first of all should be put on this. I want to see how she will pull this off live?

This song is the definition of the Music Industry and Rihanna’s talent right now = Disturbia…..

Gothic - Way to Gothic for the little ones though……….

The concept of this Video is not original at all………So please stop with that…..

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

Yeah, as much as i dislike Rihanna, I really love this song & video (big ups to Anthony Mandler, and all of RiRi’s stylists for the video). It probably would’ve been a good idea for her to hold this one but as much as i hate to admit it, Little Miss Sunshine has yet another worldwide hit on her hands. This rock/pop/alternative/international sound is doing wonders for her career. But i do miss the lil R&B/Reggae influenced Rihanna who was telling the DJ to turn the music up lls

64.

52. I Know lol shes beyond her 15min….Shes doing her and doing it good…I admit her vocals aint the best but in todays industry singing doesnt matter…We all know this and they need to get over it…Why must they always compare everything lol

Love this video so much…VID OF THE YEAR!! there has been nothing creative like this in 2008 and the year is nearly halfway over. i see a few more grammy’s in this girl’s future.

RIHANNA 4 LYFE!! (stan moment lmao)

mastersays

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

Just like Madonna, the girl knows how to change it up. That is what keeps people interested in her. Let her enjoy the spot light. Beyonce is an old married woman now who has lost some of her sex appeal. Ri-Ri is the new it girl. Young, fresh and hot with those exotic looks.

72.

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

Still undecided about the song..but while Rihannas voices annoys me to the max her songs are catchy!

Rihanna looks good & the video is nice but there was too much going on! I cant see it getting much play on the usually channels that play Rihanna though!

Just one question: Why did she feel the need to smoke in the video?

74.

J-Me

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

The song is crap…the video is on some marilyn manson type bs. I dont like it. I thought her little style was alright at first but it seems to me that she’s just reaching on this.

75.

MiZz.ThAnG

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

Oh yeah can anybody tell me what the song is actually about?! Because I still don’t know lmao!
