I know sis. I don't think GaGa is too keen on Rihanna though so I doubt this will ever happen 
Unless some worldwide disaster happens and they decide to join forces to save humanity and raise a ton of money

Why is Only Girl so addicting? I just can't stop listening to it.

Supporting or liking Man Down is great. I love the song personally, just not as a single. My problem is (and Im not sure if you were one of the many doing this) the people going on and on how CKB needs to be dropped because MD is the real smash.
Honestly, that **** was annoying as hell and part of the reason I wasn't very active in here for a while. From day one, it was always clear which single was doing better. Requesting MD and rebuying it is great, but to want the better selling single to be shelved because you like the other better? That is some delusional **** and is exactly where my problem was with a lot of Navy members here.
I don't necessarily agree about Complicated, but I don't know the European market too well, so I don't disagree either.
However, I will say that while a LTWYL2 video might've been cool to see, it would've been the dumbest thing in the world to put any money or promo into that song. Never in a million years would it have done well after how amazing part 1 did just a few months prior. I was dumbfounded that some people actually thought it should be a single.
Nothing is really a guarantee, but the music industry and market isn't totally unknown, either. It's pretty easy to guesstimate what songs have potential and what don't. Can we accurately pick out the peak or total sales of a song before it's released? No, of course not. But I don't think it's hard at all to have some general consensus of what has mass public appeal and what doesn't. Maybe that's just me though? I just look at what is currently selling in the market, what has in the past, and what I could see being played on radio, commercials, clubs, parties, etc.
For instance, there are plenty songs of Rihanna's that I love and think are among her best that I could never imagine as singles even though they are some of my favorites (GGGB, QE, CCL, TLS). There's also songs that I don't particularly love, but think could've done well at the time (SMC, Photographs).

Love the Way You Lie, Part II is amazing but it would be a mistake. The 1st part was so overplayed it would be beyond overkill to hear the exact same formula a second time.
I only would want Complicated as a single in like the fall or something, but preferably worldwide. If they released it in the US I'd be fine with that too. I always wanted Fading as a US single in the fall or something, but that is not going to happen now probably.

Sell Me Candy is one of my favorites but is not strong enough to be a single.

Maroon 5 was probably the only "band" I listened to occasionally, so them teaming me up was a natural like for me. And probably an unpopular opinion, but I actually like Push Up On me more than Breakin Dishes and maybe even DSTM.  |
Push Up On Me is underrated & most definently should've been a single.

I don't know what they should do right now, CKB is totally stalled on radio but very high for that lame AI, #25. If radio were to wake up & smell the coffee, the song could easily make the Top 10. But Cheers is climbing faster than ever.

Like above, I think she works best when going outside the box and being innovative. Rihanna is known for her outstanding songs with rappers (either with her as the feature or them). She has non-hip hop artists like Adele publicly stating they want to work with her; she should do it.
Besides, I can't really think of a rapper that she hasn't already worked with that I have any desire to see her team up with, save for maybe Missy Elliott if she's back on her music grind. I would, however, love a Katy, Adele, or P!nk collabo, though. |
Rihanna already did dubstep back in 2009 with 'Mad House'. So it's ok if she does it again.

I'm actually not here for any Kidz Bop ass Justin Bieber collaboration. I just don't think i'd be that into it. I don't hate the kid like a lot of people do, but his voice annoys me. I honestly don't ant any collabos at all. I'm more appreciative of Ri's solo songs save LTWYL. I want her to earn more #1s without someone else being attached that way she gets all of the glory and not Jay, T.I., Britney, Katy, GaGa, and whoever the hell else. We all know Ri's collabos smash, but I'm so much more appreciative when she's sitting atop the charts and her throne ALONE.
Anyway, what could a Ri and JB collabo really be about. Theyre only so many things a person can sing about (sex, fame, partying, love) and the age difference to me just seems like the song would come off as forced and weird. I mean correct me if I'm wrong. Actually the only collabo I would be up for is Ri and maybe a legend like Madonna, which is highly possible considering their ties. I'm not here for her having to share the limelight with the likes of her colleagues. Lol maybe it's selfish, but oh well.

You want Rihanna to compromise her artistic integrity for Justin Bieber. You fans need to get it together.

Rihanna and Justin Bieber collaboration will never happen. It would be the most awkward mainstream song in the last 10 years.

Thank God someone agrees with me. Justin Bieber... really?
Where's the artistic credibility and integrity in that?
