I can't. Besides "Only Legend", the rest are forgettable and can not compare to the classics on GGGB.
Repent sis.

Until 6 months ago. I can't listen to it anymore. Each time I listen, the worse the autotune sounds. It's too short.


Thank goodness it wasn't on the CD. Or the first single. I can't at people saying it would've been a better first single than OG back when OG lost the #1 on iTunes.

WTC would have been a good album track, laying off the heavy autotune some

The true tea. I like WTC better than probably all but 3-4 songs on Loud.

I even like Cheers better than WTC? now.

It's definitely one of her most meaningful ballads but her "mindless dance music" is what keeps me coming back for more.

WTC>>>>>half of Loud

You too?

BBR, Russian Roulette is one of her finest ballads. But first single material? Please.

I was so annoyed when IDJ picked SUAD. And Hate That I love You was generic. Sorry girls

The OG video is beautifully shot. I prefer it over the other one for sure.

...not to shade WTC, but it's really one of the few rih songs I can't listen to anymore....

funny cuz when it first came out it had a greater first impression than OG and I thought it should've been a first single (this was before she confirmed it wasn't a Loud track)

BUT I AM SO GLAD IT WASN'T...OG ***** on this

"urrrbody' gettin a lil" in the version you attached had me lolling

Shut Up & Drive was a horrible single choice. I layed out my plan on the previous page.

Hate That I Love You was an appropriate choice for the Fall of 2007.

We agree whole-heartedly on this Jeff. I despise auto-tune, and Rih only makes it worse.

I adore all of GGGB singles except HTILY. Loud's single are ok.

It went TOP 10 and was critically praised. It done it's mission. We're here for quality not quantity.

I think Def Jam did well with GGGB for the most part. I would've made very minor changes.

1st - Umbrella (featuring Jay-Z) (Summer)
2nd - Hate That I Love You (featuring Ne-Yo) (Fall)
3rd - Don't Stop the Music (Winter)
4th - Push Up On Me (Spring)
5th - Disturbia (Summer)
6th - Take a Bow (Fall)
7th- Breakin' Dishes (Winter)

So I've been thinking very recently, what if they had released Take a Bow in the Fall instead of the Spring? What if they had made Disturbia the first rihrelease single, & released the new edition of GGGB in July or August rather than June? It's a very autumnish ballad.

I used to always put TAB before Disturbia in my "dream era" plan but I've changed my mind recently. But I don't know if TAB was crucial to her moving so many more units when the rerelease initially came out. It's an album seller for sure. I wonder if it could've helped the album have even more longetivity had it been huge when the rerelease had already stabilized in sales.

for GGGB I'm not here for HTILY or Say It...but Say It is definitely tolerable

For Loud I'm not here for Fading, LTWYL II (the first one was so *****d out that I could never get into the sequel), and CKB is a hate/love song for me...sometimes I like it, sometimes nah.

I think I prefer GGGB to Loud...Push Up On Me, Umbrella, Breakin Dishes, Lemme Get That (idc I love that song)...idk I could still listen to it wheras Loud only a few songs I still listen to

[NYotov]

Am I the only one thinking that "Te Amo" would've been a hit in the US?

Repent sis.

Hold on, I might've spoken too soon. So let me do this. I'll compare the original singles, before the Re-Release since Loud's Re-Release hasn't come out yet.

Umbrella
Shut Up and Drive
Hate That I Love You
Don't Stop the Music
Rehab

Only Girl
What's My Name?
S&M
California King Bed
Man Down

Bolded are the holy biblical songs that I love.
Underlined songs are great.
The rest are good.
So, yes. Loud Singles > GGGB Singles for me.

Hit = no...top 40 probably though

Definitely better than Flopstar though

Push up on Me....I've listened to that song about 3x since GGGB release. I hate that song! Always skip it as well as HTILY Lol. EDIT: HTILY is okay. video is cute. i can tolerate sometimes.

The trinity album tracks: Say It, Sell Me Candy, Let Me Get That. These songs go hard and flow well right into each other.

I was thinking Top 10, possibly Top 5 with a better video.

Nevertheless, it remains as one of my all-time favourite Rihanna songs.

[clairebear23]

As far as Loud, Cheers and WMN are my gems. Of course OG and S&M are hot but Cheers should have been released after S&M! smh!

And other songs on Rated R could've done even better while still giving the public a general feel for what the album would be like. AKA. Hard.

Bey stans love to type my real name.

HTILY is dull. I love the Loud singles, except S&M. It's too repetitive.

Push Up On Me gets undeserved hate. I play it loud to this day. It should've been a single over that other thing called SUAD.

Lemme Get That is dull.
