Bitches im reading comments about we found love and Monsters, even some Bey fans, Xtina fans, Britney fans... A lots of people love this. I'm so proud of my Queen. I can't
Well I can only speak for myself and for me it IS just another dance track. I live in Sweden and house music is really big here, and this is your typical house song. That said, I LOVE IT and I think it will be a huge hit. I don't think it's unique, but so what, unique doesn't equal good.
That is what I meant, Rihanna is bringing ACTUAL house music to America. I was referring to the fact that WFL is different to other things that America classifies as "dance" music, when a lot of things on the music charts are are actually Pop.
I am still a bit shocked that Rihanna did house music, tbh.
Thats why I said "(well, it is new music to America)". Rihanna manages to bring European styled music to America and make it smash. (Only Girl and We Found Love).

yeah but let's be real it's not like she's the first to do that. It's not like she's pioneering this ish in America or something.
Early this morning, Rihanna and Calvin Harris’ collaborative single “We Found Love” hit the Internet, radio and, eventually, iTunes. With the eupho-Ri-a over a brand new song from the Barbadian fox ahead of the release of her sixth album (out November 21) still gripping us all these hours later, we felt obliged to snoop around and see what the rest of the World Wide Web had to say about the uplifting dance jam. Read on, pop fanatics!
:: The Guardian cracks, “…she could have recited Nick Clegg’s conference speech from Wednesday over the sound of Harris cracking his knuckles and it would be a hit, so here’s to album number seven this time next year.”
:: Yours truly notes on Chart Rigger the following: “‘We found love in a hopeless place’ might just be the best pop lyric of 2011, and I’m not just saying that because Rihanna sings it about 20 times (or more)…”
:: Newsday agrees: “It’s a club anthem in the broadest sense, but its spare lyrics, which largely revolve around Rihanna chanting ‘We found love in a hopeless place,’ are poignant and sweetly triumphant.”
:: Grantland quips, “The spotlight is on the bleeps and bloops, the beat buildup and breakdowns, those dramatic whoosh noises. People who regularly attend the Electric Zoo festival: Rihanna wants your money!”
:: PopCrush digs RiRi and Calvin’s pair-up, as well: “‘We Found Love’ is danceable but feels much brighter than a typical club banger, which makes it an ideal choice to preview the singer’s next record…”
:: The Smoking Section was feeling lovey-dovey, too: “The track’s produced by Calvin Harris and it’s all the way upbeat, much like finding love arguably should be. Feels like a perfect fit for A Night At The Roxbury dance scene and all I want to do right now is prance around and clap.”
:: Entertainment Weekly’s Music Mix couldn’t get past the artwork: “…judging by the single cover, her place doesn’t look too hopeless, does it? Maybe there’s a building on fire outside the frame, and that fire hydrant doesn’t work. I guess that would be hopeless.”
:: The Prophet Blog made Shakespeare roll over in his grave after digging deep into his soul for this one: “It’s real cute.”
:: And PopJustice took the art of music reviews to an even higher level: “It sounds exactly like you’d expect a Rihanna and Calvin Harris song to sound. That is our review.”
yeah but let's be real it's not like she's the first to do that. It's not like she's pioneering this ish in America or something.
I'm sure she isn't, but I can't actually think of any other people who are doing that right now (before Only Girl). Feel free to tell me who else is doing it.
Rihanna is definitely a major factor to the exposure of European styled music to America. I don't think anyone can deny that.
Me too. "We Found Love" looks so messy in my iTunes amongst all of my albums, and then I see "We Found Love - Single" as the album name. I need it to look perfect.
1 Rihanna We Found Love (feat. Calvin Harris) 1.000000
2 Maroon 5 Moves Like Jagger (The Voice Performance) [feat. Christina Aguilera] 0.449477
3 Foster the People Pumped Up Kicks 0.331010
More than double #2 and more than triples #3... LOL
Rihanna is not the first artist to bring house music to the US..maybe the first female pop singer to do it this year but no..
Beautiful People is house music too, i'm just saying.
Oh yeah, how could I forget about Chris? Ok, you have a point there. Don't take this as shade, but how is it doing in the US (I honestly don't know)? Do you believe it is doing well enough to cause exposure/awareness of house to the general public of America?
