njkml,

Cheers isn't deep.... at all. It's about going out and getting drunk off your ass after a stressful week.

yes it is. Cheers is the opposite of Russian Roulette....


if 0 represents generic, RR is -1000 and Cheers is +1000 lmao.

I think you guys take it too far and over think it. Loud was an obvious downgrade from Rated R because she had to get back on track commercially. WFL is only ONE song from R6 so I don't understand how you could possibly make judgements of the whole album based only on it.

No, you're absolutely right. There were some really stupid songs on Rated R.

For example:

I never got the hate for 'Stupid in Love'. It's a decent song.

I honestly think the incident with chris brown changed her state of mind and her perception of things, so her music and personality from this point on wont be the same.

The same stans who are obsessed with charts and album sales are now trashing LOUD when that's the album that brought Rihanna back as a pop heavyweight

A pop heavyweight in what sense? it's her 1st album to finally sell over 200,000 copies in the 1st week here in the states. Granted it's selling at a steady pace but I wouldn't call her a "pop heavyweight" -- "snubbed" two years in a row by the VMAs and Katy Perry has been destroying her in digital sales as well as on the charts.

If those songs aren't on Rihanna's CDs, then what's the point?

(And LTWYL was a Part II and a bonus track, so that doesn't count).

anyways, you can all bitch, her 6th album will sell another 6 millions and you'll have to deal

Rihanna fans, you keep missing the point. You think that Rihanna is actually there, somewhere in the world, thinking "OMG my fans deserve more music even though I keep giving them new music every day, let's go and record a new album in less than a week then release it two month later!!!". No.

Def Jam wants to milk more and more money of YOU . That's the main reason why they are releasing her sixth album. Also because they are DUMB.

Completely wrong. Rihanna is not about to release her sixth album in six years ONLY because Def Jam wants to milk her and us for money. Yes, that's a factor in this strategy. Duh. But Rihanna is dedicated to this career, she adores what she does, she gets bored very quickly, and she wants us to have new music. Those factors contribute to the strategy as well. It's not so black-and-white.

you shouldnt have brought this up

I REALLY hope that her sixth album well have couple of 'decent' songs in it. Because at this very moment, nothing separates 'We Found Love' than anything else generic released this year.

So your saying LOUD was made purely for hits?

He's contradicting himself. He was just talking about how Rihanna ISN'T a lable puppet. Then goes and says LOUD was made only to bring her to the top.

why was this thread even opened? BadBitch is such a drama Queen because she did not like Loud, she does not want dance songs now.

Rihanna has evolved and keeps evolving, LTWYL and Princess of China >>> LYL and RTT

Loud >> GGGB.

Rated will not be, and cannot be, topped for a while.

How has she evolved if she didn't write LTWYL or Princess of China? Didn't CM say that the track was finished a long ass time ago and they just wanted her vocals.

Nobody is crying over "RATED R" From MOTS - RR had meaningful songs and not just quick fluffly hits. I'm not 1 album stan. I've been a fan since the AGLM era and stan since GGGB. Nothing about LOUD is innovative. It's all over the place with no REAL message or theme behind it. I'm not the only just sayng ths too. Even CRTICS agree. It was like she just went into the studio and recorded all the songs she liked without giving them a second thought if the album would make sense. As i said before i don't mind POP FUN Rihanna. Especially since GGGB is my favorite album from her. You guys are missing the point. In terms of quality music Rihanna could do so much better and you know it. She's not living up to the standard type of music she said was going to do from now on with Rated R. And when standard i'm not talking about dark depressing music. I mean artistic growth and QUALITY MUSIC.

Let's not pretend that MOTS and AGLM were filled with quality music or that GGGB was much better than Loud, sis. The only reason you find Loud to be weak is because it came after Rated R. PERIOD.

Loud has sold 5 times more than Femme Fatale. 3 times more than 4. 2 million More Than Teenage Dream in the end.

Well she says all that **** constantly. You as a stan really think she's lying, or that those factors don't contribute?

[DrunkNHotBoyz]

Ya'll need to accept the fact that Rihanna isn't deep and never will be. She's here for the hits and the numbers.
