Pop sensation Rihanna releases the video for her latest single, “Rockstar 101.” The new video is directed by Melina, with a special cameo appearance from Blink 182 member, Travis Barker.
There was a little confusion about which single Rihanna would release next, considering that videos were shot for both “Rockstar 101″ and “Te Amo,” but it is also been said that Rihanna, who is currently on her Last Girl On Earth world tour, is already wrapping up the follow-up to her latest project.


this song is garbage and the video agrees.
YLet the illuminati, secret society comparisons begin….in 1,2,3…..
whack video, and horrible song; i thought she was releasing that song with will.i.am on it.. i like that one… maybe next time rihanna
Typical dark video from her. Nothing new…at all. Not a big fan of the song either. Her biggest hit on this album so far is rude boy and it looks like it will be her only one. This is a poor single choice IMO. #kanye shrug
Miss Rihanna needs to go home, sit down and decide what the fuck she wants to be. She changes her “image” as much as she changes panties. First she was an island chick, then she was the cute girl then she was the sexy girl then she was a bad girl. A month ago she was “so hard” and now shes a rockstar? What’s next?
I guess..I do like her style @ times *waits for the arguements*
Love the song, the video goes wit it as well but I think she is very very classless and she makes sure she is provocative enough, like it’s not natural, u can tell she makes some gestures or acts & some of these scenes in the video, so just ppl will talk about it u know, smh.
Beyoncé wore that outfit in 2008 in a photoshoot @ 2.10 you should do a who rocked it better lol
I hate TeAmo now so bad lol cz they played this in clubs last summer so much when it leaked! Not a good single choice, Photographs is cool though!
those were the lil corns kelis was rocking in her acapella video right? now u have riri doin the same in the first verse of her video! Im glad slash wasnt a part of that mess
@ 6: I like her style sometimes too.
This was one of the very few songs off
her album I liked, but the video seemed
a little creepy. I would have thought she
would have been some where in a club
in this video…not in the the center of a
RiRi-pentagon (mighty suspicious, btw).
But what’s the point of music if you can’t express
yourself?
You guys fall for it every time! this video was just to get people hyped up about how dark rihanna is and get people talking about the illuminati. .
Unfortunately, I like the song. The beat is even crazier. The video was ill too EXCEPT the part where she’s in the circle with the baphemet horns on. Clear illuminati symbolism. I like dark videos, but damn.. is she gonna make ALL of them dark?
if i ever i were to believe the illumanati ish…now would be it. The crown of thorns was as disturbing as the helmet of horns. Disliked it…and hated those particular uses of imagery.
She’s wrapping up her next album? Now, that makes no sense…
Hot song and video. Rihanna always releases practically every song on her albums.
I like it! Rihanna is so comfortable in front of the camera and it shows. The swagger, the attitude, its all there. She never disappoints me when it comes to videos.
UMMMM WDF was that on her head at the end of the video? the video is demonic enough did she have to put the icin on the cake with those horns on her head and spinning around and ish in a circle that to me represents BLACK MAGIC??? HER VIDEO IS MOST CERTAINLY SIMILIAR TO JAYS VIDEO ON TO THE NEXT ONE…pure evil. whatever they have done to that girls mentality it has obvisously worked. i like the song…..but the video. NO!!
if ppl dont believe now that theres sublimnal messages in not ONLY JUST THE MUSIC WE HEAR but also in the videos we watch.
Same old shit from her….guess her fount of creativity has dried out.
NOW I see why slash didnt wanna do the video…and hes a real rock star….but im sure he knew what the video was goin to represent and didnt want any parts of it.
THE HATERS ARE THE FIRST TO RESPOND AS USUAL. HOT VIDEO AS USUAL. NO ALL OF HER VIDEOS AREN’T DARK. DID YOU SEE RUDEBOY? DUH. AGAIN RIH KNOWS HOW TO KEEP YOU FOOLS TALKING. ESPECIALLY HER HATERS AKA HER BIGGEST FANS! YOU JUST CAN’T STAY AWAY. I GUESS YOU ARE UNDER THE ILLU.M.INATI SPELL TOO. LOL.SMH.
Dark and dastardly. Is she the devil inside the wiccan symbol when she has the horn on. Kepp playing with fire riri…..yo will get burned!
SHE,S A ROCK STAR, OH BABY SHE,S A ROCKSTAR, OH BABY, OH BABY. The only thing RIH missing is her black guitar.
she dressed up as my dawg Slash…smh. that is all I have to say. done with her.
Same ole’ ish from rihanna. I dont like the song at all. the video is dark as usual. She is trying way to hard. She isnt doing anything different then what she has done before. Walking around in high fashion outfits is getting boring. That will prolly be the first and last time I watch the video. Right now Divas like Gaga and Bey are killin her … they dance, they sang, gaga plays the piano. They are the business right now. rihanna is simply in the back seat trying to keep up
I liked the video…..however with BET deciding not to play the videos of Ciara and Teairra Mari let’s see if this video makes the cut.
A LIL COLOUR TO QUENCH MY THIRST IS SO REQUIRED. I’M ACTUALLY DISAPPOINTED. IT DIDNT MOVE ME AT ALL. PLEASE REDO ASAP
–no. you’re not a rockstar.
and this song sucks major ballsss.
Trash ass song and video! Didnt get pass 1 minute. Sorry.
i believe she does copy alot of her styles
shes not a natural
n shes not so exotic 2 me n e more
island chicks r sexy tho
Rude boy by Rihanna much more better then this one!
She look good in the video. WELL DONE RHI-RHI.
The song is okay..(Album filler) However say what you want but she looks great in my opinion….very Grace Jones
its amazing to see how different blogs have different opinions about her video. This blog is in between with comments.
#1 As far as Im concerned that video was boring….and since when did she suddenly need a black guitar, I thought she was learning to play drurm?
#2 what the hell does she know about guns n roses ?
#3 I dont care about her illuminati thing but shes def giving those who care something to talk about.
#4 She’s wrapping up for her upteenth album??

Rihanna is the biggest poser thus far.
Bey sing and dance, Gaga sing and plays piano, and RiRi sings and plays guitar~ a black guitar. OOH BABY!
let me speak for myself “I AM SICK AND TIRED OF RIHANNA”.
WOW!!! thats all I got to say! WOW!! Rihanna is sooo gorgeous and she is really growing as an artist! This video is INCREDIBLE!!! The whole image is BANANAS!!! Haters, come on! you trying to break RIhanna, but she really doesn’t give a f***! people are fooling themselves if they say this chick is not gorgeous!
RiRi is fantastic.
I can’t wait for alicia and beyonce video also gagas alejandro who r about to kill rihanna
Too bad she can’t sing a lick, i would’ve probably been feelin the video alittle bit more. Its okay I guess…
LOVE IT! I now love the song a lot more because of the phat video. Rihanna is on fire!
She always looks good…..
And thats where the ball stops……
I realize they’re feeding into this whole”devil worshiping” illuminati non-sense that ppl KEEP insisting upon, but while doing this, she is losing the artistry…
I mean she can’t sing, she can’t dance…can she at least put out a video thats unique and different from the rest of her videos…
Kelis, is all im going to say.. Copycat.. I seen a couple looks Kelis has done and been talked about for them… RiRi, step it up
Haha #2 read my mind! Illuminati!
didnt KELIS wear the chain bikini and metal horn headband and people talked mad shit at her?
I like this song and the video! I will be downloading it..
I actually dig this video its so dark and edgy.
Im impressed.
I dont know if my computer is messed up or I’ve missed the concept of the video but it was slow moving like a powerpoint slideshow????? Like, flashing pictures? Is that right?
Anyhow, I love this bitch. Love this song. Hate this video. Photographs would have been better as a single.
Rihanna has a unique sound that isnt good and isnt really bad either. She occassionally holds a tune and clearly thats all it takes. But keep it real folks. We like artists for different reasons so thats why all the comparisons are stupid.
THIS IS A BAD SISTA!
Its about to be the summer time why she wouldn’t put this video out around Halloween
#FAILED #GARBAGE AND #WHACK #HORRIBLE
Only saw it for 5 seconds until she starting singing, her voice is annoying
The concept of “Rockstar” is okay, but she should have come with more of the Rolling Stones or Limp Buzkit discography. This was not “101″. It was more like “Rockstar Intro”. The music never leaves the ground. Even the Beatles rocked it better than this star.
Also, I hate it when light-skinned people use “blackface”. It’s so minstrel.
I love Rhi Rhi she can’t go wrong! Always different, always artistic and always got a pack of haters!…and enough with the illuminati claims people, that is getting so old. The devil has no power until you idiots make suggestions. What some of you need to think about is why everytime you see an image your brain registers satonic connotations-THATS THE REAL ISSUE!
I DONT CARE WHAT YALL SAY BUT I PERSONALLY LOOOOOVVVVEED THE VIDEO ; HANDS DWN I ALREADY KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE CRAZZY EDGY N DIFFERENT PLUS SHE HAD TRAVIS DOING WHAT HE DOES BEST,HA LOVED HIM SINCE “ALL THE SMALL THINGS”
I was hoping she does a video for this joint and now I got my wish!
Rihalien copying Kelis as usual.
Goes to show Kelis is so far ahead of the game.
RiRi got up in the club, posted in the back, she,s fe
*sigh*
Rihanna is about as much of a rock star as Miley Cyrus.
She looked mad cute dressed up as Slash.That was hella sexy.
Other singers like Beyonce and Ci-error try to be edgy but they end up looking like clowns instead.THIS IS HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE BITCHES!
@ # 50 -the only people thinking about that 2 hit wonder Kelis is NAS and YOU. You can’t be serious!
