Discussion: If Rihanna released "We Can't Stop"...

Αnt

Would it be a success and have a record breaking music video like Legend M?

Success? Who's to say.

But I think Miley's is more of a "record breaking MV" because it's very outlandish for Miley and we finally get to see her new image translate to video. Kinda like.. Christina's Dirrty.

For Rihanna the video would just be like her instagram come to life...

It would have been bigger cus she would have had urban radio support on top of a top40 & rhythmic .

As for the video a lot of it were thanks to link from urban blogs trashing Miley for trying to be black.
Just look at the comments & ratings on YouTube.

It would be a hit.
But the video would be far less controversy and record-breaking

All the people saying they hate it now, would love it.. I was just thinking about this the other day, I would like it either way though

By the way, i m not a Miley hater.
I like her and I find all that criticism of her ridiculous and outrageous.

What does it mean to act or sound black?

Was Beyonce acting or sounding white in irreplaceable?
Was Rihanna acting or sound white in We Found Love?

Where was the outrage then?

It would've flopped in the US for sure.

I don't think she'd release unless it was the last song of an era. It'd be top 40 but nothing amazing.

It would probaby perform similar to Cheers.

This.
I was just abt to say

It would hit number one, if it was a lead or second single. The music video (whatever she decided to do) would be controversial for a couple of days, but people would warm up to it. Would it become her biggest hit? No, definitely not. But I could see Rihanna doing 1-3 weeks at #1 with it.
