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’m sorry I was just thinking, she has released 6 songs off of this old and new CD and she is still only at 1.5 mil in the states and she just is reaching it and world wide only 5, 6mil tops that’s not good at all considering all the hype.

Rihanna should be over 10mil by now and y’all know it, she has had to many major singles to be just reaching 1.5 mil in the states. Alicia has surpassed her already and she’s only been out less than a year plus her worldwide is not that great.

I think the song is about a sex addiction…I play the song over and over everyday and listen to it…thats just what my guess is

Not a pop fan so song needs a KanyeMissyElliotBangladesh remix for me - But I am a Rhianna fan. I respect the girl’s grind and expect to see her near Beyonce’s status if she keeps whatever group of people she has advising her and working with her.

Video was Great but………
BEY going shut it down when her single drops.
not taking away from Rihanna but Bey got her beat.
I love Disturbia b/c its so different from what’s out now but Im really waiting for the Queen to come back out and shut it down.
and if we’re talking about how people can’t sing and how rihanna is bad, then look at Ciara, yeah she can dance but that only goes so far, now she is hard on the ears.
LOVE YOU BEY AND RI-RI

I don’t think that she is the best singer at all. But I do appreciate the fact that she has a different style from everybody in biz right now. Ex: Beyonce, Ashanti, Ciara, and the list goes on. They were the same tired azz weave day in and day out. They are not very creative in the least. I can respect the fact that she has her own personality. She’s not trying to copy anyone. This video does remind me of something Madonna did about 10 years ago. I think that she is at the top of her game . I thought she was going to be a “one hit wonder’ myself. She is killing these whoes when it comes to the fashion. The girl is on her game. Her voice is like a 5 on her best day. But everything else is great.

Damn did BEYONCE make a cameo in this video or something? y’all sure keep bringing her up…thats only cause y’all know RIHANNA is competition now…don’t deny it, otherwise you wouldn’t keep talking about what BEYONCE gon do to shut RIHANNA down

All hype..babygirls got no talent, at all. Good editing and stuff for the video. Nice concept. But what did rhianna contribute?? Come on now…peoples intrest in her is gonna run out soon as the next girl steps up, what will she be left with? A couple of yall that really think she can sing? Impossible.

This girl is god’s gift to music! Ladies ( Beyonce, Ciara, Teyana Taylor, Tiffany Evans, Amerie, Kelly Rowland) This is how its really done! Thank you Rihanna for delivering and making a quality video. Best thing since Solange’s “I decided” video. Dare I say it, creativity’s on its way back to music. I think…unless they give some other wack job of an artist a record deal.

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

i love the video!!! i guess because i like rock, although rihanna is in many categories, she’s rock, pop, and r&b with a twist of hip -hop but not much. she is a very smart girl, she is going to attract many listeners, specifically the heavy-metal, alternative-rock-pop group. watch out beyonce! rihanna style is different and so is her voice
she also have a unique look about her,. her facial structure is real sharpe and defined, along with striking green eyes. go rihanna

Real Talk

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

WHACK SONG and video reminds me of Janet or Michael. It’s too much for Rihanna. Also, she gets over with songs like these - there really aren’t any vocals in here so when she performs it live it’ll look like she’s rockin’ even though the background singers will still be holding her down. I’ve come to believe Rihanna is smart - she and her people have the biggest con going. They give her songs with no vocals, put a punch of fashion and dancers around her and she’s instantly a hit. The few slow songs she has, there aren’t any high notes or long winded notes as SINGERS have and when she’s live, she sings every other word and the background or audience sings it for her. Gotta give it to them because they’re killing the public with this scam, but I refused to be scammed! LMAO.

It’s fine to not like the song or video, but some of ya’ll are just straight haters, period. I think it’s HILARIOUS how people always bring Ciara’s name in Rihanna topics. Nobody cares if she can perform. Performing is just a portion of being an artist. Rihanna takes way more risks, and is just a better artist overall.

I’m not even a huge Rihanna fan, but I have to give credit where credit is due. The video is amazing and she did a great job in it.

total janet jackson ripoff….mixutre of “rock with u” and “son of a gun”

great video tho…but still a bit of a ripoff

some parts of the song sound like “feedback”

chris brown co-wrote this??….naaaah…dont believe it

ps: why did she name a song after shia lebeouf’s (who she allegedly dated) movie (also called disturbia)?

You losers are so jealous! Now you know this was a good video! A person would think you’d have some appreciation for the fact that a black artist actually made a video with a CONCEPT as opposed to merely SHAKING HER ASS across the screen for three minutes. And. that’s honestly not a shot at any particular artist…it’s just a fact…black artists don’t know how to do anything conceptual! Rihanna’s song and video are great and that’s why it’s such a huge hit. Good for her. It’s about time someone thought about the visual, beyond how their asses looked at different angles, that is!

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

ok just give credit to where it’s is due. THere arent many black chicks out there right now doing what she is doing. it’s so easy to pick at the negetives, rather than be inspiring. Rihanna did a very good job with the video ( oh yeah MJ triller was about zombies. Rihanna clearly was about an insane asylum, Big difference.) it’s not many cup of tea however she did acheive what she was going for with the concept. Many people will like it and many woun’t. However i do appreciate the video.

LOL 35 I was thinking the same thing, I was going to say Strange’(I hope I spelled it right) from boomerang.

It is very different, to dark for me but give the girls her props she looks good and the video is a new concept. I am sorry this does not look like anything that any black or RnB artist have done(i.e Michael or Beyonce or anyone for that matter).

This does look a little Marilyn Manson Like.

Geese, people can’t stand to see something different!! Fall Back People!

I think the video was amazing, it was a lil scary hence the title of the song. This worked for this song. And not only did it work for me but she is crossing boundaries with this song. At work the other day one of the white-est white person was asking me about the “new” Riahanna song. So I think this will make a lot of people pay more attention to her. And certianly rake in more money for her! Do your thing Ri Ri, if everybody loves you, your doing something wrong. This one is a winner!!

Ummm I definitely don’t think this was her best video. Umbrella is still my favorite Rihanna video.

This video just isn’t doing it for me, actually. Yuck. Everything about it was a big yuck. The twitching was too much, she hit her head on the wall when she was cramped & tied to a chair one too many times….I’m not feeling it. I still love the song though.

Whoever said this is alternative and not RnB, I agree. She switches genres with every album.

the video was hot, one of the best rihanna videos. im still in love with that umbrella video though.

you can’t compare rihanna and beyonce’ they do two different types of music.

its also funny to hear people say so and so fell off, when they are the same people making the same music kind of music (some have artist has have changed their style a little bit) when they first came out. selling the same amount of records. nothing has changed that much about them except how popular everyone thinks they are.

Fashionista_Z

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

This is very creative. It reminds of the grunge rock videos of the early ’90’s like nirvana.
I like it ALOT!!!

However, while creative she still cant sing. But i’ve begun to realize that the artists who don’t have the best voices are always the ones who push the envelope creatively…(example: Madonna, Prince, etc.) since they cant rely on the voice alone to help them sell records.

However, it would be nice to have a female artist who has both the voice and the creativity (besides Beyonce). I think the next female to combine both is Janelle Monae….

Yall really need to leave ‘lacefront&wardrobe’ on point performing beyonce out of this, who has been much too concerned with making vanity videos to do anything like this in her last ten years in the game. And to compare Ri Ris 3 years in the game to seasoned vets is flattering to her im sure, and she is doing phenomenally well to be so new…Beyonce;s videos consist of look how gorgeous i am, look at my gyrate look at my azz shaking with crocodiles, rolls royces, in cups etc… to step outside of that beauty pagentry mentality to be an artist, she is a great performer with a great voice, but artist not,…kudos for Rihanna for be willing to try new things and not stuck on ‘looking cute” all the time. She pulled it off, not many could! Go Ri

if you start out not being that popular your career usually ends like that too.

Rihanna overdoes the sexual image which isnt really natural, quite skanky actually. I suppose thats the only thing Rihanna is best doing, overdoing the sex to make up for her lack of talent…give it up Rihanna, dont try to overdoe a Britney or Xtina’s Dirty..
