Good Girl Going Bad

While we're waiting for the album, here is some of her nicest songs and some cool remixes.

AND a BRAND NEW song with Ne-yo!!!

Thx, i'll check it out now. Rihanna is such a hard worker and you can tell she is serious about her career and that she really wants it.

I'll be happy when she gets her first grammy. Truth be told she should have already gotton a grammy for S.O.S as that was the best dance recording last year next to "Hung Up" or "Sorry" by Madonna.

Sexyback my a$$.

And if Beyonce sang UNFAITHFUL, it would have won a grammy, because its such a beautiful and real song, but the academy is hating on little miss sunshine, but its all good, keep doing your thing Rihanna, they can't ignore your talents forever.

**xyboyms** · April 9th, 2007, 11:15 AM

^^^^LOL! Yeah, she was one of Jay-Z's early signings to the "new" Def Jam when he became president. He also personally signed Rihanna at the same time.

As you can guess, one of them failed to catch on and the other exploded.....

**Danugh** · April 9th, 2007, 03:12 PM

I like Rihanna Feat. Fabolous - First Time and i think "Hate That I Love You" is just ok for me. Rihanna's voice stands out to me on this track though, her voice has really matured. I don't think she blends well with Neyo's voice. And i don't like the "sexylove" sample throughout the song.

I am listening to Rihanna's interview from the Ryan Seacrest radio show. Ryan is hilarious trying to get into her personal business LOL.

I nearly cried towards the end of the interview because she is so sweet and she said that Jay Z said, Good Girl Gone Bad, is the album that will make her or break her

and it "will determine if do this any longer"

. I love her spirit though because, she said nobody is going to break her, and that she is determined to make it

. She said she put her all into this album. She said she worked with Timberland and Justin Timberlake. She says the album track for track is incredible and she hopes her fans like her new sound.

I hope i like it too.

I don't know why Jay Z and Def Jam are putting so much pressure on Rihanna with this album, because they signed her to a 6 - 9 album deal and her last CD went platinum and she has won numerous awards all over the world, most recently 4 billboard awards besting Beyonce and Mary J Blige.

They need to not put so much presure on her because you could hear the sadness in her voice that this album will determine the rest of her young career.

Her accent is so cute and she is so down to earth. She flew up her 2 best friends from Barbados and even took them with her on tour but she said that they had to go back to school. One of them was in radio studio with her.

She said she doesn't really have a home base right now and literally has been living out of a suitcase and from hotel room to hotel room, but says, she is currently looking for residence in Los Angeles.

renegade_killerbee · April 9th, 2007, 03:29 PM

This girl has had like what 3 or 4 top ten hits over the past two years?!? But there is like 20 new posts on her everyday here?

Does her dad own this site?

**Danugh** · April 10th, 2007, 10:11 AM

I am not amused by this album cover, seems like someone went photoshop crazy

**getoverit** · April 10th, 2007, 05:04 PM

I agree. It looks like a promo cover. But she does look amazing as usual!

**just_mills** · April 10th, 2007, 05:05 PM

Terrible... [thumbs down]

**big_sucker** · April 10th, 2007, 06:01 PM

I think its funny that Amerie and Rihanna were a part of this...considering they have both had rumored conflicts with Beyonce since she went solo.

**rimsicle** · April 10th, 2007, 07:35 PM

i think she needs to go away for a minute.

**big_sucker** · April 10th, 2007, 07:54 PM

No....you're thinking of Beyonce....Beyonce needs to die for like a year or two...and then get revived and then she'll steal somebody else's style (like she did Amerie's for B'Day) and be all over the radio and TV.

I never really payed attention to Rihanna until recently. I loved Pon De Replay...but the rest of her songs were just meh to me. So I never noticed when they played her on the radio.

After Good Girl Gone Bad I agree that it would be a wise decision for her to take some time off before her next album, she doesn't wanna go and pull a Beyonce. That bitch is tired.

**Danugh** · April 12th, 2007, 07:15 PM

Ok i had to force myself to like it but now i think do like, "Hate That I Love You", i still don't like that "sexylove" is sampled so much in the song, but it should make the album.

**Danugh** · April 14th, 2007, 11:38 AM

Bring It Back - This song better make the album as its Rihanna at her best when she rides an island beat.

The world was first introdiced to hear with Pon De Replay, telling the DJ to "turn the music the up" and now this is part two with her telling the DJ to "Bring it back a again" nice summer jam and the beat is nice. Its like a more uptempo "If Its Loving That You Want" beat.

**Danugh** · April 16th, 2007, 10:34 AM

I mean i knew it would happen eventually, as she is young, pretty, successful and has that cute accent but it still caught me by surprize especially since she recently said she is single and just focusing on her new album and career.

"Celeb tattles are dishing that R&B/pop singer Rihanna has been dating former B2K lead singer Omarion.

“The two have been dating two-and-a-half months and “the connection was instant,” says the snitch.

The spywitness continued: “They’ve been seeing each other whenever they’re both in L.A-going to the movies and dinners. Things are heating up.”

Omaion? seriously Rihanna? You could do SO MUCH better.

Ri Ri you need to upgrade Omarion, but i guess it could be worse, she could be dating Bow Wow lol.

On a more awesome note, i finally heard UMBRELLA on the radio today and i was excited , i was singing and bopping LOL, its such an awesome song. It sounds ten times better on the radio.

Can't wait for the video.

Rihanna rocks

**xyboyms** · April 16th, 2007, 11:52 AM

Rihanna is stunningly beautiful.....with Omarion?

I mean, he's not ugly or anything, but yeah she should be with someone equally as hot.

**getoverit** · April 16th, 2007, 12:21 PM

If they make each other happy then thats all that should matter.

**Danugh** · April 16th, 2007, 07:49 PM

Now this is what i am talking about.

Way to go Rihanna, damn she looks good, and i don't even like girls, but this cover is smoking.

**Danugh** · April 17th, 2007, 04:51 PM

What a relief.

Rihanna is on video saying she is "absolutely not" dating Omarion.

She cannot help but look terrific! She makes me question my 'gayness'. Have to go look at guys for a minute....

**Danugh** · April 18th, 2007, 05:25 PM

Yea i like the new one better.

I heard UMBRELLA on the radio again. It was number 3 on a top 10 countdown show.

With UMBRELLA its like awesome and incredible had sex and UMBRELLA is their baby.

Ella, ella, LOL

**[Ocean]** · April 19th, 2007, 08:59 AM

She's hot. I'd totally root her...

Now if only I could get hard for women

Official album cover is also MUCH better.

**Danugh** · April 19th, 2007, 05:30 PM

Oh my gosh guys the UMBRELLA music video is totally awesome

.

It's almost epic and has pyrotechnics falling down and diamond glitter raining down while Rihanna ballets.

She is so sexy in those fishnet stockings and red stiletto heels with the Umbrella opened.

Wow the only thing for me is that she could have choose hotter guys to stand under the Umbrellas but overall love it.

It's so hot, so sexy, and she is doing the ballerina thing that she tried in the We Ride video.

This Australian website showed a 2 minute snippet of it for 30 minutes, the site is down now.

I'm so excited i can't wait for the world premiere.

This song is so going to be HUGE now that she has an awesome video to go with it.

**xyboyms** · April 19th, 2007, 10:13 PM

Oh wow I can't wait for the vid!

**Danugh** · May 2nd, 2007, 02:11 PM

This is album is shaping up to be super awesome.

I just hear 3 new tracks and luv em all.

Rehab - Justin Timberlake wrote it, Timberland produced

Questions Existing - really deep song

Let Me Get That - lol

**Danugh** · May 4th, 2007, 09:58 PM

Ummm i just found out that Rihanna will be releasing another single on June 5th called, "Shut up and Drive."

I don't understand the reasoning behind that because UMBRELLA hasn't even started yet, it's going to be HUGE after downloads are released.

And the video just came out last week.

So why would Def Jam release another single. By June 5th Umbrella will probably be number 1.

I really like "Shut UP and Drive" its a hot song but it just seems way too soon.

Umbrella is wow and needs to run its course.

Radio stations are still playing Break It Off lol.

All week long May 7th - May 11th 2007, Rihanna will be co-hosting TRL

Don't forget to vote and get Umbrella to number 1 on TRL. It was at 5 on Thursday.

• 06.08.07 Rihanna on the "Today" Show
• 07.07.07 Live Earth Concert

---------------------------

You know i checked billboard today and i was surprized to see that, "Never Again" is the number 8 song in the country. Surprized because it was released after UMBRELLA and the latter song is not even top 20. I found that very concerning because UMBRELLA should be HUGE.

So i had to find out whats really going on. UMBRELLA fans not to worry. Apparently, soon after "Never Again" was released it was made available for digital downloads hence its rise up the charts. For some reason Def Jam won't release UMBRELLA for digital downloads until May 15th 2007. So that explains it. So UMBRELLA should be #1 soon there after.

And then she will release "Shut Up & Drive" on June 5th, the same day her album comes out

Rihanna rocks

**phoenix72** · May 6th, 2007, 06:54 PM

she keeps coming with the hot singles i'm looking forward to her new album next month as well.

Beyonce who?

**xyboyms** · May 9th, 2007, 01:47 AM

I love Rihanna's new hair do!

They need to do a sequel to Aeon Flux and cast her in the lead!

**phoenix72** · May 9th, 2007, 11:09 AM

missed those shows..i'm bad when it comes to remembering who's on TV and at what time.

**Danugh** · May 9th, 2007, 04:43 PM

I really should give this its own thread but i said i wouldn't start a new Rihanna thread until the album comes out so i wont.

But anyways, "Shut up & Drive" leaked today and i hope i didn't overhype it for you guys but i still maintain its awesome. Its very techno poppy, a little Ray Of Lightish.

I can't get enough of it. Its my new ringtone. This song rules. I mean i like UMBRELLA a littlle more but Shut Up & Drive is gonna be HUGE.

Rihanna has really gone bad though

This song is ALL about sex and i am not sure if i'm cool with Rihanna singing it at 19. I kind of feel dirty after listening to it.

"Is it ready to explode?"

"we can go all night"

"you look like you can handle whats under my hood"

But then again she got naked for UMBRELLA so i should expected an all grown up Rihanna.

Gay clubs are going to have a field day with the remix to this song.

Its a really fun song and i can see them doing lots with the video for it.

It will also be used in car commercials.

Anyways I will always love Ri Ri no matter what.

Rock on Rihanna

---------------------------

In other news Rihanna hosted TRL again today, looking lovely and the fans voted UMBRELLA the #1 song in the country. Rihanna was so happy, you should have seen her light up when it was revealed.

**xyboyms** · May 10th, 2007, 02:44 PM

Shut Up & Drive is all over YouTube & I'm listening to it right now.....

.....this is shaping up to be a great album to listen to this summer I really can't wait now!

**Danugh** · May 10th, 2007, 02:49 PM

^ Be sure to come back and tell us what you think of the song.

Seems like Kelly Clarkson has a girl crush on Rihanna lol, she couldn't stop complimenting how beautiful Rihanna was in person when they met up at TRL today. She seems to like the UMBRELLA video and the body paint. There was a little tension, not sure of they really like each other lol but its all good.

**xyboyms** · May 10th, 2007, 03:01 PM

^^^^I really like it! Seriously, I love great music in the summer and Umbrella & Shut Up...sound like really great songs to have fun to this summer.

P.S. Why do Kelly & she have tension?? I heard Rihanna say on TRL that it was hard getting Umbrella to her because so many people were trying to get it for themselves......was Kelly one of them??? I wonder who else was vying for Umbrella??

**Danugh** · May 10th, 2007, 04:04 PM

Well Rihanna was getting touchy feely with Damien and then Kelly said, "you two should get a room."

Then later after Rihanna said Kelly's video was "hot" Kelly gave her a look.

Maybe i am reading into nothing.

According to Terius Nash, the song was shopped around to many labels before it reached Rihanna. Mary J. Blige and Akon both passed on the song, but once it got to Karen Kwak at Universal, she sent it to Antonio "L.A" Reid. Thus, Rihanna's version of Umbrella was born.

^ Tells who passed but i couldn't find who else wanted it. I did hear her say that she had to fight to get it though and she even prayed on it.

The TV version of the video is different from the online one.

She will be performing it at the MTV movie awards and she might sing Shut Up & Drive since it will be released to radio June 5th along with the album.

It's not my kindo of music, but Rihana is SO hot!
And the song's good, really good.

P.D.: i prefer her hair Brown....!

**Brer Fox** · May 13th, 2007, 04:39 PM

I am a fan of this song, and that video was awesome. She is a distinctly beautiful woman, and that is one of the most sexually charged things I have ever seen.

**shahmask** · May 13th, 2007, 05:56 PM

i hated it so much the first time i heard it but absolutely love it now.

**breatheH20** · May 13th, 2007, 07:33 PM

I love it, I hated her song "Unfaithful", it drove me berserk, but this and S.O.S. never disappoint... I like her a lot, and it's not very often these days a Pop artist fancies my interest.

**getoverit** · May 13th, 2007, 08:37 PM

I guess I am just werid. I LOVE the song. But I cant stand to watch the video. It just really bores me alot. So much more could have been done. I like when a video follows a story line or something to that effect. She does look extremely hot in the video though hehe.

**Danugh** · May 13th, 2007, 09:09 PM

She said that rather than tell a story she wanted the video to be performance based.

It really could have been so much more, but, yes, she is hot in it.

I just wanted some more with the Umbrellas. Get literal. Have hot guys or one main guy under it with rain coming down and more.

I do like the choreography after the bridge though. I had to learn it for my reenactment of the video with i may put on youtube

**StlKj** · May 13th, 2007, 09:48 PM

I can't stop listening to this song. It's hooked me like no other song since SOS.
