Yes, it seems to me that Rihanna has been riding the 'house' trend and has been hanging out a lot with French DJ David Guetta. But who's to blame? At the rate that she is producing these awesome dance tracks, it's no longer that she's stuck on the house train! "Who's That Chick" is yet another great song after "Only Girl" to dance to!
It's kinda bittersweet; I mean with everything that went down with him and Rihanna, he clearly has had a hard time with a comeback. Maybe this song will do it? It's actually a great song to groove to, but will that be enough to win his fans (and the rest of the music world back)? Tell me what you think!
Eminem wins the award for Best Hip Hop Video at the VMAs Sunday night for his hit single "Not Afraid". Mr. Slim Shady had a stellar performance of his song, followed by his duet with a red-haired Rihanna for "Love the Way you Lie." He also beat out Jigga's (aka Jay's) "On to the Next One", which I guess wasn't that popular, but I still love him more than Eminem... as of now. Oh well, congrats Eminem! I think you deserved it this round... and I hope to see you get as good as you were in your Encore days!
I love the non-emo-I-love-dance-and-house Rihanna!
Now THIS is a great song to have fun too! It brings Rihanna (and me) back to her (our) "Please Don't Stop the Music" days. Besides "Rude Boy", this has got to be the best song on her new album "Last Girl on Earth" album. It makes me just want to run to the clubs and get CRAZY!
Maybe Eminem had an influence on Rihanna's hard-coreness?
Who knows, but I'm glad Eminem seems to be back to his old angst self! I love this rap (cuz I'm also hard-core like that....) and it sounds like something that could have come out of his Slim Shady album. In the words of Borat - "I like."
Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan are featured in the video who pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend. The video delivers a strong message about domestic violence and sends out a powerful message to all (including you Chris Brown!). It seems fitting that Rihanna and Eminem are singing this song...
"Te Amo" is one of Rihanna's sexier songs... and she even experiments with a chick in this videos! It has a sultry spanish taste to it, and she seems to really be getting into her R-rated side... and definitely a step further than her Pon de Replay days!
I'm not sure if I'm feeling this whole "look at me I'm hard core" phase Rihanna seems to be going through. OK we get it - you like rock songs, your hair cut super short like a boy's, making out with chicks and looking like your the female version of a hustler (DIVA!). We get that you THINK you're hard core. I love Rihanna when she came out as so sweet and innocent with a cool Caribbean vibe, and now her songs are just getting too mainstream for me... although "Te Amo" and "Rude Boy" do have a hint of exotic flavour to them!
Buddz is back with a brand new Bermy beat ... (like the alliteration there, eh?).
With a mix of RnB and Reggae, Collie "Come Around" Buddz raises the heat with "Phone call" - and I gotta say, I think it's one of his best!
AND he even remixed Rihanna's "Umbrella"... I think I like it better with this Caribbean beat than the original! I think if he were in it more though it would be even better...
