I don't think Rihanna is scared, I think she's genuinely not ready. It doesn't help that this fall is the most packed it has ever been and she doesn't have a hit preceding.
Did you know Amazing was planned by her label to be the fourth single but she refused and boycotted it because it was too much like Beautiful Stranger?
Really? I did not but I love her even more now. What It Feels Like For a Girl is a superb timeless single (Amazing would've been outdated by 2001 anyway). The feminist undertone in the video (though the version of the song sucks) >
