Russian Roulette, Te Amo, and Rockstar 101 would struggle to make her top 10 videos.
We Found Love is easily top 5.
You must not understand it. Everything about it is great, the editing, the scenes, the story. And what about that amazing monologue? That is what a troubled yet addicting relationship looks like.
I understand it. I respect that it entails a 'troubled yet addicting relationship'. The video just doesn't click with me. I see the message, but it doesnt change the fact it's Rihanna and a guy sucking face for majority of the video. What I do like about the video is that it really brings the darkness in WFL's production to the forefront. It's eerie, and has a surreal feeling to it. WFL also throws in the surreal effects like the ribbon vomiting. But still, it doesn't 'wow' me. I see all of these things, but there is no emotion when I see the video. Nothing I can really say 'woah' to. It's just a video to me. The other videos to me are so much more, the emotion, the art, it all speaks to me in a way that WFL doesn't.
The video single-handily propelled the video to #1. The was visually captivating and intensified the song so much. The imagery of the video perfectly captured the essence of the song. I don't really know what shallow-minded concept you were expecting, but the chorus is "We found love in a hopeless place."
I'll agree that RR and Disturbia are amazing (amongst her top 3, along with WFL), but Hard, MD, TA, and R101? Gurl bye.
As I said in my previous post, I understand the concept.

Does anyone knows if she would be perfoming somewhere in Australia??
So many possibilities for the next album. I wonder who Rihanna will collaborate with, especially if she's looking for "fresh", "new" artists/producers.

Although, I am sick of waiting for this Usher collaboration. If it doesn't appear on his album, then I'll need him to appear on this new album, even though he isn't "new" or "fresh".

She has not. I mean, Azealia Banks, Lana Del Rey, fun., Marina & the Diamonds, etc. These collaborations might not work, or will ever happen, but they would definitely be interesting.
The snippet of Nelly Furtado's new track has me really pumped, I would definitely be interested in hearing a Rihanna/Nelly track. And Rihanna/Fergie.
TBH.... The album is at 810K now... I mean... there is NO WAY IN HELL this wont go Platinum with WHYB still to come... I'd say that in around 2-3 months time.
I think this can end up around 1.2M in the US this year. So its not bad at all

I mean, Def Jam could have at least tried to end this era successfully.
