    Dear, Rihanna: Come back to our side. This white music you’re putting out is garbage. Have the drugs messed you up that badly or are you suffering because you are craving Chrissy Brown’s long skinny peen? Get it together, jeesh!!!

  2. The Wayno Show

    LOVE IT!!! I’m loving Rihanna’s new songs! I can’t wait to cop the new album!

  3. Tiffan.E

    This is song is not awful nor is it “good”. I think it’s cute and typical. I feel like she’s not progressing as an artist though. She’s becoming very predictable. And this is why I am a fan of a certain someone, because every project she does shows risk taking and progression. But anyway..*waits for the stans to hype the fxck out of this mediocrity*

    • DaOriginalCC

      WHAT?! this isnt her best song but who is more versatile than Rihanna I knooowwww you aint talking bout Beyonce becuz dat h.o.e. dont neva change she stay wit some cute love songs and a.s.s. shaking music aint nothing versatile bout dat trick she good otherwise but no1 changes it up like rih so sit yo hatin a.s.s. down!!!!

    • diva1988

      @daoriginalcc rih can make all the #1′s in the world and be versatile.bey already got the respect. she the best preformer in the game. As for money bey wins anyways cus she eating rih’s management money hunny. She probably buying baby clothes with it as we speak. we always winning.

    She didn’t write it, it’s tailored for her non singing voice and it still stinks. Will it be a hit? Sure, she has enough butt licking fans to take it there.

    This mess they call music today is just awful.

  8. Simmie

    I like!!! Rih is on it yet again. Its a very cute song. She is a versatile artist and I hope her new album reflects it.

  9. diva1988

    its okay. if any other artist sang tis it would not sell.it will top charts cus its juvenile.

  10. MIA

    Cute, I love hearing her accent when she sings! very cute!

  11. Ms. Hay-mon

    I like some of Rihanna’s songs; but I don’t like this one.

  12. Diamond Latrelle

    Its a decent song.

  13. hudsum

    yeah her music is getting very predicable, songs that hide her mess of voice.

    i don’t understand how her vulgar attitude and bad vocals have gotten her so popular, its weird.

  14. rainme

    AGREED she is pretty class-less and it is WEIRD how shes gotten popular from cussing out her fans and having less than average vocals. …..

    that bi- tch don’t care though, shes getting money and money is more important to her than good music…haha sad cow.

  15. brandi

    womp muthafuckin womp

  16. rainme

    the main thing about rihanna is that she can just stand on the stage and sing, she gotta be doing something crude or nasty to distract from that ‘voice’

    ….such a cheap act.

  17. katie

    It’s a decent song. It a typical fluffy song with no substance. It’s something that everyone can listen too. I think that is the point of pop music. *shrug* Man, the music these days…

    • 2012isMine

      “No Substance …. point of pop music” <=

      As a pop artist and a well-versed musician I take offense with that statement! Pop music is a melting pot. It's bold, it's raw, it's whatever it needs to be. Sure, there are lesser representations within the genre but in totality, Pop represents some of the best things music can be. Every song doesn't need to be overly complicated. Vocal ability or production aside, the message is clear: You're the one. What's wrong with being able to understand less than 1 minute into the song? There's no substance there?

    • katie

      ^^^Your a pop artist, yet I bet no one has ever heard of you. I don’t care if you take it offensively. And I stand by my comment, it has no substance.

  18. yannii

    Like somebody said above, this is definitely juvenile. I feel like I’m too old to be listening to this. However, it is catchy. The ‘kiddies’ will love it.

  19. Oh Whatever

    You all want music of substance? Go listen to Beyonce or Mary as I do. But Rihanna is not in that category, sheesh give the girl a break. You want everyday pop music, Rihanna is the go too girl. So stop bitching about it. You don’t like the song, then turn the shit off. You all are so fake. Criticizing but still listening to the songs knowing what you’ll get.

  20. SeijnSei

    It sounds like Beyonc’s song “Check On It”…just slower.

  21. DaOriginalCC

    Yal dont know nothing bout good music because yal are closed minded to it to know good music you have to had listened to it all and YES including country and blues! I mean seriously this isnt the best song in the world but its a good pop song it seems like everyone on this site wants to see nothing but beyonce shake her butt pads! Seriously Soul music isnt the only music open up your mind & your ears people not everyone can sing like Jennifer hudson but just because they cant blow doesnt mean they cant sing!!

  22. bananawaffle

    It sounds like something she’s put out previously

  23. Gaite

    i don’t understand why your all bitching for ? Its a good song. NO its not her best song. But its good & catchy. POP music is what sells. If i was an artist, I would make pop music too. ESTER DEAN is a beast. Everything she writes is good. Go head’ RIH ! do that thang.

  26. CLASS-LESS

    The people who say she is VERSATILE need 2 stop smoking that ish!

    I am not a RIYAWNA fan but really guys? C’mon NOW! The CHICK IS now OVER 5 albums DEEP!!!! SHE STILL CAN’T SING!!!!!!!!

    Versatile? My ass! She only sings catchy songs w/ ZERO QUALITY!!! She knows that it works perfectly 4 her that’s why she has so many #1 digital catchy tracks featuring hot rappers.

    Music has come to GARBAGE!!! I mean, if she passes MJ & The Beatles that is TRULY SAD!!!!!!!!!

    #R.I.P MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!

    The end is near 2012!

    • music-lover

      I absolutely agree. With artists like her and Katy Perry, Kesha, Bieber etc. music has really come to garbage

    • gman

      Rihanna Rihanna Rihanna… Your music is? I dont know. Do u need 32 #1s? I dont get it.. lol.. when will you ever release a “Real” song? I dont know who’s worse? Katy Perry?

    • emily

      RIHANNA MUST USE SOME VOODOO ON HER F*CKING STANS CAUSE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SO MANY PEOPLE CAN BE SO TONE DEAF AND BUY HER CRAP MUSIC.

  27. Kyla

    I really like it!
    I don’t know why people are complaining .. it’s Rihanna, she’s not known for her lyrical ability or songs of substance so what’s with the fuss?

  28. Neon

    HMM. I DONT KNOW ABOUT THIS. BUT THERE ARE TRACKS ON TTT THAT I KNOW ARE GONNA SET THE WORLD ON FIRE SO IM NOT STRESSIN. IM MEAN – COCKINESS, BIRTHDAY CAKE, ROC ME OUT, WE ALL WANT LOVE, ……. RED LIPSTICK!!!!!!!!!! WAIT N SEE YA’LL. RI KNOWS WHAT SHE DOIN. SOMETHING FOR THE RADIO/MAINSTREAM, SOMETHING FOR THE KIDS, SOMETHING FOR THE CLUB. SHE A BOSS

  29. raykel

    Real talk, that song trash but get your money baby girl!
    Hit dees niggees with more puzzay shotz and watch them dollas stack up at Itunes!

  30. collegegirl12

    Rihanna is not a versatile artist, she is mediocore at best.Yes she can carry a melody, but can she play an instrument, can she dance, No! I have never seen or heard
    her perform any of her songs bare, without any background vocals or music. Just once I would like to see her perform an acoustic version of one of her songs. She is not a “voice” she is an “image”.

    • popcultureismyreligion

      I’m not a Rihanna fan but I will admit that I like most of her songs which for the most part is pop. I mean, she’s clearly no RiRi or even J.Hud, but I think there is room for everyone. She may not be your cup of tea but she clearly has an audience and has become one of the most respected female artist (up there with Mariah and Whitney) whether you like it or not.

      For the record, Michael Jackson NEVER played an instrument. They even did a shoot with him holding a guitar that he didn’t even know how to play. It was all about image with him, too. He finally broke away and did his own thing much like what Rihanna is doing now. She is the most versatile, influentuial, iconic singer or this generation period.

    • gman

      Did u compare rhirhi to mariah and Whitney? They are both real artists… I dont know anyone that talks about Rihannas talent.. shes not well respected either. Janet was the last non singing well respected POP star.. I think rihanna is happy where she’s at. Not progressing etc. Gaga is soooo involved in her art If its bad or good really doesn’t matter. Her heart is in it. Rhi is just tryin to get 1000 1s.. lol..

    • Classy!

      She sang an acoustic verion of “California King Bed” at one of the country music award shows.

  31. The Hater

    This is pure garbage…and yet the pink toes will love it.

  32. QueenSafira

    Ester Dean needs to write for like everybody!!!

  33. WHAT!

    I don’t believe I just read someone commented that Rihanna is “iconic”….just because you sell records, make albums back-2-back and got a lot of dough, don’t make you iconic. When have Rihanna sang the LIVE..she’s no more than a RECORDING artist. In my book, nothing is iconic about a RIHANNA! What song will you be rocking to in the next 20 years that Rihanna recorded. UMBRELLA….LOL!

    • popcultureismyreligion

      I meant she is an icon in a sense of “image” and being idolized (is she not?). Even though Rihanna has reinvented herself throughout the years she has been pretty consistent still. You know a Rihanna song when it comes on the radio. And not to mention, she has the GAYS! When you have the GAYS, you have made it, in an essence of carving your own little niche which she has done.

  34. Ben

    It is decent. Urban enuf for black radio stations to keep her on the list. Not as addictive as Whats My Name was. I kinda agree with some of you all about how she isn’t growing that well as an artist. It’s all safe to say thay she is just about the hustle, but with a golden ticket populaity she has, can you blame her. Oh, but don’t dare tell her that on twitter, cause like someone said, she will curse your ass out.

  35. SMOKE

    AS FAR AS BEING AN ARTIST ALTHOUGH SHE DOES NOT WRITE HER OWN MUSIC SHE HAS A EAR FOR A GOOD SONG FOR HER LAST 3 EFFORTS SHE HAS SHOWN GROWTH AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT AS FAR AS THIS ALBUM I HEARD IT WAS A MIX OF LOUD AND RATED R WITH A MORE POP VIBE BECAUSE THATS IS WHAT SELLS TODAY. ITS A VERY GOOD IDEA TO MILK THAT COW DRY AND THEN ON TO THE NEXT.AS FAR AS ICONS GO IN TIME SHE WILL HAVE TO PROVE HERSELF BUT SHE IS STILL YOUNG IT HAS TOOK OTHERS YEARS TO DO WHAT SHE HAS DONE IN THE LAST 6.

  36. kay

    love it, has an island vibe

  37. xedos

    she’s cashing id making money that’s all that matters. some of the so call could singers cannot get a good budget to promote their music,because the label know they’re not going to make no money

  38. xedos

    lot of the ppl who make timeless classic died broke.

    • BEN

      Sadly true. I really all boils down to your look and the right label who WANTS to invest in you. LA Reid said himself when she first saw Rihanna in a referral audtion with two other girls (she was orginally in a group) he said as soon as she walked through the door, it was as if the other girls didn’t exist. So he saw dollar signs around that pretty face.

    • truthfullyspeaking

      Yeah I agree. That’s why I just cannot stand this chick. How naive and untalented can you be? I have no respect for Rihanna because she does whatever the music industry tells her to do and makes the type of music that is in, which unfortunately is shallow, poppish, and immature. Yes, she’s “making money” off of it, but at the end of the day, she’s just a manufactured puppet. Plus, she has a bad attitude. Cussing out everybody on twitter and using vulgar language and smoking cigarettes is so disgusting.

  39. Lola Re

    I like it, it’s cute and happy.

    Lola Re

  40. Lola Re

    Oh I like the dubstep in there too- Haven’t heard that in many (any?) other popular releases

    Lola Re

  41. truthfullyspeaking

    This single is horrible! I always listen to new songs from music artists, whether I like them or not to hear what they sound like and I laughed at this. Tell me why it sounds like a Justin Beiber and Mindless Behavior single? Is she serious with that young, boyish voice and these childish lyrics? How can you dumb Rihanna stans say that Rihanna is so creative and a great artist when she makes meaningless music like this? I also heard snippets of “Talk That Talk” and I was just like… how immature is this album? That’s all she talks about is sex, loving her baby and being a bad girl.
    She has never progressed and frankly, sings badly. She is so ghetto, trashy, nasty, sl—y, and stupid. If she’s such an amazing artist or a real artist, how come she only makes the types of singles that are selling at that time? This single is so generic that it’s sad. And her stans want to defend her and say music doesn’t always have to be serious, but she makes music like this all the time and sounds like a goat being strangled when she sings.

  42. Get em' girl

    I hear a lil reggae, r&B, and pop. I like it. I look foward to a video.

  43. Is_Me

    Well the cd has leaked and I must say I’m very disappointed…I thought after her last cd things were gonna get better when it came to her music and she has a few songs I like but the last cd in my opinion is way better

  44. sammi

    props to rihanna..im not even a mssive fan of hers but no one can deny that..she’s achieved alot in a short space of time, progressed musically and found her own style.

  45. LaToya

    I personally think the song is a great song. Does that make me Naive, and blind to good music? NO . just because a person likes a song a lot of you DON’T like does not make them “stupid”. I can listen to rihanna for one moment and turn around and listen to lauryn hill the next. I am a fan of Rihanna definitely but I will not be the one who goes over the top by saying she’s going to be one of the greatest artists in the world. Um no. Because her perfomances are not good, she seems lazy on stage, and I think she has the voice she’s just to lazy to show right now. But I still love her. You can’t always judge a person e by the music they listen to. Because not everyone is easily influenced. I love rihanna but does that mean i go around cussing people out on twitter, wearing red wigs and skimpy clothes? NO . Those are things I sometimes don’t agree with but it doesn’t mean i shouldn’t like her! Rihanna is not ALL bad like you all make her seem. smh

  46. sha mff boogie

    this is myy shiit SHEE WIT THE FUCNTION ON THIS ONE NOW IM FEELING UU
