Rihanna stay giving haters heart attacks with her killer looks and songs. Well y’all better get some Bayer or y’all won’t survive the winter b/c Queen Rih is taking over. She’s not the Queen (that’s Britney), but she is a Queen, and I love her to pieces. Nobody is half as hot as Rihanna. So just stop it…please!

I like the song. It’s a grower and completely different to what people I was expecting. The opinions of people on here doesnt count for the whole country or the world. People ddnt like ‘If I were a Boy’, ‘Single Ladies, Disturbia, Umbrella, ‘Hips don’t lie’,Run this town; then the video drops or something and it’s near the top of the charts or an international hit. You never know. The CD pic is questionable though. She sounds a lot better here than she did on Unfaithful so she needs to bring it live if she wants some more credibilty for her music.

ummm law girl ….TWITTER works just fine. rihanna is no Obama…she can’t take twitter down so stop it.

why for a 21yr.old Island girl would she be dressed that way? is this how an abused woman recovers from domestic violence? Damn she must have enjoyed that because she is most certainly using that situation to her advantage? Does she not realize how many young ladies listen and admire her? Lord now were goin to have an epidemic of dark gothic lookin depressed chicks runin wild…as if this world isnt depressed enough? Listentin to this song may be seriously hazardous to many ppl, especially those on the verge of commiting suicide..perfect song to take yourself out to. smh. Music these days is so outrageous it dont make no sense.

smh @ the person who compared Beyonce to our Lord. Delusional.

The satanic order is thriving.

Either you support it or you don’t.

I don’t…

I mean my goodness look at that damn album cover??? if my 12yr.old sister even think she can buy some mess like that shes in for a rude awakening. Rihanna back then was ok, the Rihanna now, my goodness no!!!! I dont know what happen to this child but I pray she is ok.

SHHHH……..U DON’T KNOW ISH. I WAS JUST ON THERE AND IT SAID TRY BACK LATER. TWIT OVERLOAD. SO STFU IF YOU DON’T KNOW ISH!!!

@ 295

It makes no sense to you because you lack the capacity to understand symbols and over-riding themes. You are far to literal if you don’t get the metaphor of the use of the Game of Russian Roulette. This song is about LOVE not a simple game. Maybe if you were in true love you could relate but I understand the song and I have to give Rihanna strength for picking this as a first single. It’s really a stroke of brilliance.

Rihanna takes risks and she is also about to take the Crown because this Video is coming out in PRIME TIME on ABC like Michael Jackson used to do. Rihanna is so far ahead of you Beyonce and Chris Brown stans. She speaks in a totally different language and to a much Broader audience. Rihanna has dropped SCIENCE on you people but you lack to intelligence to comprehend her words. But her voice is universal so I don’t understand why people claim to not get it. The notes are so haunting the emotional cords she hits.
This is beyond refreshing!

The Wait is OVA

Ri has something special she is soooooo unique, no one sounds like her and I love what she does with her voice although some find it annoying. This song is appropiate for her situation and it is also well written, big ups to Neyo for transitioning her life into art so pefectly and landing that #1 pick. I’m sure this song will be huge! and help many people in similar situations. I’m so happy she’s back and btw she looks haute. Most definately buying this album can’t wait for the video and also to hear what Dream and em came up with.

Sound like Beyonce would sing.
Rhianna can’t sing this song she sounds dreadful.

305…Like I said TWITTER works just FINE nothing is wrong it nor did it crash! So all that “STFU” is unecessary! Im just letting YOU know so you can stop cisin it to be something bigger than it is!

Furious Styles = New World Order (Satanic Order) Agent.

She’s here to confuse.

Anyone with a brain will know that this song is primarily about Suicide.

Are there other meanings, perhaps.

But Rihanna and her execs know that the average listener will interpret this song as being about suicide. So I don’t care what’s in between the lines (or moreover, what’s in between the gunshots).

STOP THE MADNESS THAT IS NOT THE ALBUM COVER….ALSO YOU NEED TO BE YOUR KIDS ROLE MODEL NOT AN ENTERTAINER. BEYONCE ALWAYS SHOWING HER STANK CROTCH WITH HER WORN OUT COOCHIE LIPS. YET YOU ALL LOVE IT. YOU ALL EVEN ALLOW YOUR KIDS TO DANCE LIKE HER. BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES

If you can the article on MTV.com it says the song is about an abusive relationship. Wont let me post here

the song wacker than wack keep dreaming this shit aint worth no #1 spot on billboard i cant see this song beating out gaga and britney whos #1 on the charts right now …this is the same old nothing amazing bout it

This song is about cheating and taking a deep risk with doing it.
It aint about suicide!

People I urge you to read the lyrics carefully and you will see a hidden message in them.

THIS SONG IS ABOUT HER AFFAIR WITH JAY Z!

‘Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take a gun, and count to three
I’m sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go’

This part is about her ‘first’ sexual encounter with Jay and how she was nervous about the affair they both were about to embark on.

… the rest of the song is about fear and guilt on what she is doing. She knows shes playing with fire and she knows she is technically ‘killing’ herself by doing this, but the temptation is just too much for her to resist.

Thats why she uses the comparison to ‘Just pull the trigger’, to potentially committing the highest sin and that is adultery with Jay. Basically she is saying to him- ‘Lets just do it’ and stuff any third party that is involved (Beyonce).

I think Ne-yo knows somethings up, thats why he wrote the song… and if he doesn’t???? Then the unseen energies are channeling through to him, to put this shady isssh on paper!

Jay Z has always been in love with Rihanna, he fell in love with her from the first moment he laid eyes on her. Thats why he signed her. Period.

When he looks at Rihanna he sees power and control- he sees possesion, His posession. They are no doubt having an affair and I think this well be the biggest relevation to be exposed this decade, believe me when I tell you.

There is alot of hidden agendas going on in that camp!

Dont take everything @ superficial levels, dig a little deeper and you shall see the truth!

@ TJACK25….I think you’re my internet soulmate…LMFAOOO, You always take the exact words outta my mouth.

Again its not a bad song, but is it really that hot???? I mean really?

a

THANK GOD!!!! CUZ WE DON’T NEED ANYMORE PPL SOUNDED LIKE A CAT GETTING HIT BY A 16 WHEELER!!!! ONE IS ENUFF

Why is it that all you beyonce fans/stans have to come on every board and bash Rihanna, thinking that beyonce is the best chick in the game? Anyway….

Back to Rihanna….

I believe that Rihanna knows exactly what she’s doing with this single. She released a slow powerful ballad as her first single, which will build up the anticipation of her second single which im pretty sure will be the hottest dance track ever. She knows what she’s doing. “RATED R” should start off with the into being “The wait is ova”, then 2nd song should go to “Russian Roulette” and so on from there. THis album will be epic in its entirety.

People who sit and hate on Rihanna and this song, Rihanna is making a name for herself. She is building herself up. She went from Music of the Sun, which was a good first album, to A Girl Like Me which had her first #1 single, to GGGB which was the evolution of Rihanna period, the point where she actually made that transformation into a woman and showed her true powerful music talents. Now, she’s at RATED R which will solidify and claim her spot as Queen of Pop. Hell, I’d say queen of music. Rihanna has grown in the past 4 years and is now on her 4th album. Good Job Rihsus. You may not have made 80mil in one year, and you may not be married to Jay-Z, may not have been in a girl group, may not have a bunch of years under your belt, but what you have over all that is that you managed to accomplish 4 hit albums in 4 years. 5 #1 singles in 3 years (hopefully have more on the way), sold millions of albums worldwide, have become a household name for everybody, and you are the VOICE of MUSIC!!!

some pplz shoot ME now!
not feeling this NAW!

I just care about what the average listener will hear, and they will hear a song advocating suicide.

Average listeners will hear a woman in pain, anticipating suicide, and then a gunshot at the end.

Regardless of what any of us think..its a Hit !..im lovin Chris brown so cold song doe..thts a Hit aswel

#314 BARBIE DOLL

ugh shut up with that mess. you read a little toooooo deep into the lyrics with that jay-z crap

btw, im saying help people in her situation past the test.

Furious Styles

LOL!!! BEYONCE SWEET DREAMS VIDEO DID THE SAMETHING ON ABC AND BEYONCE HAS A SHOW COMING ON BEYONCE LIVE THANKSGIVING ON PRIMETIME JUST FOR BEYONCE LOL LOL DEAD

hidden meanings??

You think a teen whose getting ready to kill themselves will be looking out for the hidden meanings?

“Russian Roulette” = Song advocating suicide.

@311…. when your a celebrity rather you want to or not you are a rolemodel. .Because majority of the ppl that listen to you more then likely will want to be like you as well, and most children and PPL dont have parents to look up to so they seek other options…and muscians are espeically chosen highly as ppl to duplicate or admire.

and To all you “so called Rihanna fans” If you were a true fan of Rihannas you wouldnt be hating so hard on somebody that she herself looks up to, and that person is of course Beyonce herself. What would Rihanna think if she knew majority of her fans are immature and spiteful towards other ppl she love and listen to as well.

By that being said I have the track listing for her new album and she of course is singing with one of her fave singers that her fans love to hate so hard on….smh.

1. The Wait Is Ova (But Who’s Waiting?)
2. Rolling With The Punches
3. Ouch
4. Tumble
5. What Happens in February…
6. Blackout
8. Go Down (feat. Jay-Z)
9. Other Woman (feat. Beyonce)
10. Lovestruck (feat. Leona Lewis & Tina Turner)
11. I Didn’t See It Coming
12. Emergency Room
13. Black & Blue (I Still Love You)

How silly and time wasting are all of you…comparing Rihanna and Beyonce as if there enemies..lol yall truly need to get a life.

This hay is something serious i pray that she will see the light soon

pass* urgh back to work i go!

Honey give up singing !!!!!!!

She be good in movies

Play cat woman.
Or type of villian .

What everybody thinks????????????

@TY- I also think it’s about her role in the illuminati and how she is taking a risk playing in that game but she does it anyway…the whole chris brown thing =publicity stunt but she took that risk in order to gain more fame. Which she clearly did.

WOULD YALL STOP with this Rihanna crashes Twitter….Twitter stops all the damn time. WTF???

it’s a nice song. but if this the best song on the album- womp womp.

At least you can kind of understand all the hype around Beyonce.

Rihanna is just LAME!

I’ll give props where they are due, but this song is depressing and it doesn’t even have any CLEAR underlying message.

The time has come for some new talent. Alicia, Mary, Mariah, and Rihanna had their chance this year and FAILED miserably. No one’s pushing the envelope anymore.

It’s a sad day when Lady Gaga is the most creative person in the whole industry.

@ TY

Please STFU

You are the type of HATE monger going around trying to sell lies and your agenda. I bet “TY” is really a Judah flunkie. Sorry Judah does this much better than you. LOL

This is a song about LOVE and Russian Roulette is only symbolic of the chances you take in LOVE. At no point is this song about Suicide. But the strength it takes to risk love.

TY it’s clear you have never given in to emotions such as love….it can lead you in ways you never thought of which is the point of the song.

SO B-O-O-R-I-I-I-ING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haters are mad, I love tt!!!! You say she not starting to dominate, look at the posts.

300 already, we run concrete loop tonite, spray those haters with hateaway. You

haters trying to stop her shine, to late hahahaha. Twitter has crashed

eh… it’s not that great. not terrible, but i’ve heard better. but i will say, her voice has gotten SO MUCH BETTER. *claps for Rihanna* (i just wish she could write some of her own songs for once)

Furious Styles, please change your name to F*cking Idiot.

It suits you better.

@ 325 - where’d u get that track listing from?

I usually hate rihannas ballads, hate that i love you, unfaithful, take a bow, but this one i actually like good job RIRI now im just waiting for the club hits

damn 340 comments already? Rihanna WON!

U can’t tell with the song alone but I’m sure with the video we’ll see it’s not about literally Killing Yourself but possibly mentally / metophorically. Like doing something U kno is wrong but continue anyway & it’s like playing Russian Roulette.

But hey I’m no expert :/ lol

Follow ya boy on Twitter thou!!!

~H

Russian Roulette, first thought after.. Poker Face!

Anyway, I don’t like the song. Like the rest of her music it’s bland. She doesn’t take risks with the things she should, like her voice.

Is singing in tune too much to ask? Damn. She can take risks wearing all them clothes, but can’t take a risk and try to hit a high note.

Hell, she can’t even try not to sing through her nose.

She woulda been better with a dance song, where we wouldn’t have to endure her voice so much.

PPL on this site blow my mind. You cant simply state your opinion on a manner w/o being consider a “Hater” and please retire that word already! Umbrella was annoying as hell! I dont care if it did shoot to number 1# it still was a dumb repetitive song. I’m sure “Laffy Taffy” was number 1 somewhere b/c it was in heavy rotation out here in the Chi. That doesnt mean that, that shit wasnt garbage! Check my past post, i’ve never hated on the kid (Rhianna) but i give credit when credit’s due and this single is just mediocore. The music industry gives us whatever the hell they want…so if def jam invested a lot of cash into Rhianna’s album i’m sure “They” will make it a #1 hit rather we agree or not! Thats just the way the cookie crumbles…

@ TY

THE WAIT IS OVA!

Yall are mad ignorant saying the song is about suicide. I would love to know your highest degree of education. the song represents life and its challenges and life presented her with a new struggle that would easily make her want to quit but she recognizes the life is like a russian roulette and regardless of what happens she has to take that risk and keep moving.

smh. read a book people.

@340, shhhhhh cant tell but trust thats the official track listing, sounds like its going to be dope right?

only mature people can understand what shes doing
_________________________________________________________________
*DEAAAAAAAAAAAD*
what’s there to understand bout her.
she cant sing and is the wh0re of the music industry!
end of story. no one needs to feel threatened by this mess
lmfao she needs to STOP!
FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as usual, the stans are back with their multiple posting. hilarious!

Love the song dont like her look but the song is nice

300+ COMMENTS A RIHANNA RECORD. SHE HAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

ITS JUST FUNNY HOW YALL TALKING ABOUT BEYONCE AND RIHANNA AND THEY DONT EVEN KNOW YALL FUKING EXIST!!! HAHAHAHA THEY’RE JUST HAPPY YOU PUTTING MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS.

Let’s look at this….

Chris Brown has less than 100 posts and Rihanna have over 300.

The Single is a SMASHING SUCCESS. Cites are crashing around this Single. Rihanna is doing something right again!

People have their views but the bulk of them are glowing.

and to the person that claims that Rihanna does not take risks with her voice that is utter nonsense.

Rihanna has on of THE most distinctive voices in the Music Industry today.

On this new track she hit very high notes. Notes that are much higher and more clear than Whitney Houston can I can tell you that!

Rihanna is the future and I think you might want to keep your eyes on Rihanna when the Video comes out on ABC in PRIME TIME.

ALL EYES ON RIHANNA!

Rihanna!! Why would you have your CD release the same day as Lady GaGa?!?!
Not a good look… If I’m not mistaken Britney has a CD out that month too.. OH well.. Rated R 11/23… W A C K
Does Wale come out in Nov too?

@319

I AGREE! I AM SO PROUD OF THIS GIRL. SHE HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH AND SHE GOT SO MANY HATERS WHICH MEANS SHE IS DOING SOMETHING WORTH TALKING ABOUT. HER NAME IS IN EVERYBODY’S MOUTH.

@347 sorry hun, you must dont read too many books as well. i guess you should take your own advice. Russian Roulette has alot to do with suicide. It was an actual game that originated of course from Russia. That involved alot of “teens” commiting suicide and msot Russians blamed it on the inspiritation from the game itself. Russian Roulette is lethal indeed and should not be taking litely, im very surprised at Rihanna for even giving such a tittle such recognition.

Basically Russian Roulette is potentially a lethal game of chance in which participants place a single round in a revolver, spin the cylinder, place the muzzle against their head and pull the trigger. “Russian” refers to the supposed country of origin of the game and roulette to the element of risk-taking and the spinning of the revolver’s cylinder being reminiscent of spinning a roulette wheel.

The form of the game can be as varied as the participants or their motives (displays of bravado, boredom, suicide, etc.), but typically a single round is placed in a six-shot revolver resulting in a 1/6 (or approximately 16.67%) chance of the revolver discharging the round. Regardless of any player’s position in the shooting sequence, his initial odds are the same as for all other players. The revolver’s cylinder can either be spun again to reset the game conditions, or the trigger can be pulled again. Using revolvers with fewer chambers or increasing the number of rounds are variations that increase the risk of being killed in any given round of play.

Legends abound regarding the invention of Russian roulette. Most of these, predictably, are set in Russia or occur among Russian soldiers.

In one legend, 19th-century Russian prisoners were forced to play the game while the prison guards bet on the outcome. In another version, desperate and suicidal officers in the Russian army played the game to impress each other.

Numerous incidents have been reported regarding Russian roulette. Many are teenagers, with some players as young as 14.

Yall Rihanna stans have no clue and that is why it is soooo easy to be fooled by music alone if you have no clue about your history.

Did someone just say she was bigger than Celine and Whitney.. Lunatics.

i luvvv this song!

A perfect example. the song Ring around the Rosie…a song many PPL are unaware of its true meaning, because sooo many ppl lack knowledge about reality. This song Russian Roulette is no different and im pretty sure is aimed at young adolescent teens that have no idea about the depth of its meaning.

I like Rihanna but then again Its awkard to see the person she has evolved into

Omg why do we have to compare her to Beyonce? They are clearly different type of artists. And who cares if GaGa is gonna do better? What does all this matter? Also, I think some of you are reading into the lyrics/etc too much, saying it’s about Chris and whatnot. Not every song has to revolve around him/their situation. It might, but people act like they’re so certain of it…………………

I don’t love it, but I enjoy it. I REALLY don’t how her top is exposed on the single cover. Just saying…

DUDE-N-HTOWN

LOL…. IT COULD BE OUR TEXAS CONNECTION

Ri as officially over thrown Beyonce

@ 356

You are not every bright at all. And you sure don’t understand song writing or writing.
Russian Roulette is used as a Metaphor. This song is NOT about suicide but about emotions and STRENGTH. It’s about the things you do when you love someone and the feelings you can experience but when it’s something you want even if it’s bad for you you stick it out or it kills you in the process. These are themes that Rihanna is experiencing in her own life and these are things people may want to just express as a general theme. So the other blogger is correct when they told you that this is not literally about suicide and it’s not telling people to do anything this is what ART is all about but it’s CLEAR from what you wrote that you don’t get it.
Open your mind a bit and stop trying to demonize Rihanna because that won’t work.

Rihanna like Madonna, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and many other artists uses Music as her medium to express IDEAS and Themes that we as young people are going through. She’s AGAIN…the voice of a Generation.

Rihanna expresses MODERN ideas to people of TODAY and we enjoy that.

@ 362 - lmao! what a joke.

The video she’s shooting ISNT for this song. You guys are in for a surprise. LOL!!!!

This SONG is not about CHRIS CLOWN.

NEYO was thinking about LARGER ISSUES.

This is about LOVE!

She has not spoken about CHRIS because she has moved on.

@ 289

QUEEN BEYUS CHRIST??? SERIOUSLY?

HOW ARE WE DUMB? IF YOU SING ABOUT KILLING YOURSELF AND A GUN GOES OFF IT IS WHAT IT IS.I AM NOT GETTING THAT FOR NOTHING;SHE IS TALIKING ABOUT SHOOTING HERSELF AND I AM SUSPOSED TO THINK SOMETHING ELSE DO I HAVE TIME TO THINK SOMETHING ELSE WTF WE WILL SEE IF THE SUCIDE RATE GOES UP. MOVING ON

The lyrics made this song. People who have only a high school diploma don’t understand symbolism, using hyperboles, and other figurative languages as a style in music. They are use to simplistic lyrics like Single Ladies which a kindergarten would understand! Neyo’s lyrics in this song make you feel the hurt and pain that a person would feel about someone or something by using other words to convey the meaning Russian Roulette ( making inferences). Everything does have to be about demonic practices. The people who are constantly bring this up on every blog are not a Saint themselves listening to the music anyway. She sounds better. I don’t think it would be number one but it is much better than Alicia Keys (who I do like) song!

AS USUAL THE HATERS WERE THE FIRST TO COMMENT AND LISTEN SMH. ANYWAYS I THINK THEY ARE TRYING TO BUILD UP WITH ANTICIPATION. ITS KIND OF STRANGE THOUGH BUT HER MARKETING TEAM IS UNPREDICTABLE. IDK IF SHE TOOK OVER TWITTER BUT SHE SURE AS HELL TOOK OVER CONCRETELOOP. I HAVE NEVER SEEN 360 SOMETHIN COMMENTS ON THIS SITE BEFORE AND ITS ONLY THE AFTERNOON SO IMAGINE HOW MANY POSTS THIS WILL HAVE BY THE END OF THE DAY! I ONLY LISTENED TO IT ONCE SO I DUNNO WHAT ITS ABOUT. ITS SO MANY PPL SAYING ITS ABOUT SUICIDE AND KIDS SHOULDNT LISTEN TO IT BUT THE PPL ON THIS SITE CLAIM TO LOVE LADY GAGA AND DIDNT LADY GAGA STAB HERSELF ON STAGE AND THEN HANG HERSELF AT THE END?

Rihanna’s album was completed after the CB incident but she went back into the studio to record new material. NeYo already stated he doesnt want an angry song from Rihanna, he wanted to lighten her up… hence this song is not about suicide. Rihanna was told to lay low until Beyonce wraps her tour up and she will be taken care of…. now look at the anticipation from her music right now, it would have been competition for Beyonce.

@ 353/Furious Styles - u do realize that over half the people on this site and all the other ones are talking about how bad this song is, right? just cuz her post brings a lot of cmnts, doesn’t mean that it’s a good thing. wait til Chris’ video comes out, he’ll prolly have just as many. AND a lot of these cmnts are people arguing back and forth with each other and u stans, repeating “i love you, Rihanna!” cmnts over and over again.

what u said made no sense.

@365 I knew it! The video cannot be for this song, because that song was an up tempo.

damn almost 400 comments. Rihanna definetley WON!

She slayed. This girl is SMART!!!
