I've always just found it really creepy, in the same way that the video for FKA twigs Video Girl put me off completely when everyone else loved it. Plus the length made it a bit boring, I'm here for some seven minute videos but this just never appealed to me and I went off BBHMM completely afterwards too.

Posted by: Atonement 4th November 2016, 09:48 AM

I rated BBHMM relatively low because in general I don't like these kind of cinematic music videos with interruptions and extended intros and outros. I mean, it's wonderfully shot and Rihanna almost channeling Lil' Kim in that outfit at the gas station is of course fabulous, but yeah.... it's also too violent for me (just realized I feel EXACTLY the same about the 'False Alarm' video by The Weeknd).

'Cheers' is going to do really bad isn't it? I can't blame everyone for not liking that video but if there was ever a song where a video with performance shots and backstage footage was perfect for then it's that song. I just love the fun vibe of the video.

'We Ride flops in at #39 with a pretty low average of 4.68. I'm not a big fan of the song but I see no problem with the video tbh, it's quite good for the song although I may have been a bit generous with my score

Posted by: Josh. 6th November 2016, 08:16 PM

I'd never even seen that video before this rate (or listened to the song very much) but both are pretty average, can't really complain at it being last.

Hoping for an S&M or Rude Boy win out of the likely candidates, I'd rather have BBHMM not win really.

Posted by: Andrew. 6th November 2016, 09:27 PM

Second from bottom is the Ne-Yo collaboration 'Hate That I Love You'. Like We Ride, I thought it was a decent enough video for the song (which is kinda shet) so I gave it a 7 but most obviously disagreed with it's average only slightly above half.

Posted by: Andrew. 6th November 2016, 10:30 PM

Omg. Finishing in a dismal 37th place is the #1 hit 'Take A Bow' with another poor average of 5.23. I love the video for this, it's simple yet effective and like the song, vastly underrated!

Posted by: Andrew. 7th November 2016, 06:11 PM

Another low finisher is the non-album single 'FourFiveSeconds'. As much bad as the song is (sorry Jonjo ) the video isn't terrible and there's a few songs that should be below it tbh.

Another video I doubt most people were expecting to be high, 'What Now' comes in 35th. I get it's not one of her best but I don't think it's that bad that it only beats 4 other videos.

Four more coming tonight~

Posted by: Jonjo 7th November 2016, 08:03 PM

'Hate That I Love You' is so elegant and classy af. So undeserving of finishing that low. 'Take A Bow' does the job of selling the song perfectly imo. Also, it is gif reaction perfection. All her facial expressions are brilliant! FFS is a good enough video too. Suits the song with it's style and then 'What Now' is just pretty good. Adore the song though <3

Posted by: Atonement 7th November 2016, 08:19 PM

'45S' and 'What Now' are both too low! 'What Now' is so trippy and is iconek just because of this moment:

Dropping out is the flop single (it feels generous to call it a flop tbh :')) American Oxygen. The video for this drags a little bit but there are some very powerful moments, so I feel it's a bit underrated, not as much as the song though </3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just missing out on getting an average of 6 is the GGGB single and certified f***ing banger, 'Don't Stop The Music'. Looking back I might've been a little generous with my score but it's a decent enough video, although I wouldn't put it much higher than this.

Posted by: Andrew. 7th November 2016, 11:44 PM

The first video to get an average of 6 or more and finishing in 32nd place is 'Unfaithful'. The video is ok, just nothing really special tbh. There's not really much else to say about it

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#31 | 'Shut Up And Drive' |

Finishing off today is 'Shut Up And Drive'. I enjoy the video, not one of her best but it suits the song. I'm tired so please excuse this shit commentary

Posted by: Atonement 8th November 2016, 07:54 AM

'American Oxygen' deserved higher, she looks so good in that video + the concept is good. No real loss in the others though.

'Kiss It Better' still in and slaying. Yasss.

Posted by: Cremey 8th November 2016, 07:59 AM

I ADORE the 'FourFiveSeconds' video. So well-suited to the song
Happy with all the others leaving. I look like such a hater with my scores being the lowest score for most of these...I felt like I was giving out 10s all over the shop though so I'm sure soon enough I'll be within the highest scores instead, haha.

The first video from the ANTI era to drop out is 'Kiss It Better'. The video for this just doesn't do the song justice I feel and is one of her worst tbh. Given it had a pretty negative feedback on here when it premiered I thought it would be a couple places lower than this actually!

Posted by: Andrew. 8th November 2016, 09:07 PM

Rihanna's very first music video 'Pon De Replay' fails to make a big impression, coming in at #29. Contrary to KIB I feel this really highlights the song and is a great video for it, should be top 20 tbh.

'You Da One' is next. Somehow You Da One is the first video to receive a 10 but it didn't get many other high scores so still ends up with a quite low average. The video is like the song, decent but not amazing. Her hair is amazing in it tho *.*

'California King Bed', the 6th single from 'Loud' is the first to drop out in the top 25. Like most videos that have dropped out so far it's not that memorable but it's nice enough for the song and compliments it well.

Rih's last released video 'Goodnight Gotham' finishes surprisingly high at 24th. It wasn't really a video for the song (I'm not sure what that would be lmao) but a fan one I guess? Not sure what to call it haha.

The first video from the ANTI era 'Work' is next. There are essentially two videos for the song (both were combined for the release) and both of them are disappointing imo and never really go anywhere although the second one is better because her chemistry with Drake is amazing tbh *.*

Posted by: mr_pmt 9th November 2016, 11:12 PM

It seems quite high for what is essentially a one minute clip of her running into a crowd of people.

I can't at this missing the top 20. I don't even know why, there's just something I adore about this video. When doing the rate for this it really helped that I've connected with the song again after finding it really bland for a while.

JUST missing out on a top 20 placing is the Star Trek Beyond single 'Sledgehammer'. This video is absolutely GORGEOUS to look at and it should be higher but I'm not really surprised at it's position tbh.

Kicking off the top 20 is the Loud single 'Cheers (Drink To That)'. It's a fairly basic video with shots of Rih on tour and partying, but it's great fun and fully deserving of a place in the top 20 tbh, unlike some.

The Cheers video is mega boring, not sure what it's doing so high when far better videos have been voted out so much earlier. I actually really like both Work videos despite neither being THAT exciting, the second one is definitely the best though because Drakanna is one hot couple.

I really thought this would be in the top 10! I think I should've given it more than an 8 tbh, it's a stunning video and I love the story of it. The song helps too

It's a shame there weren't more shots of just her and Drake in this, because their chemistry slays me every time tbh. *.* Other than that, this is a great video.

We get badass Rih in the 'Needed Me' video, and I live for it tbh. It's great for the song and really represents the sheer attitude of it.

This video was the darkest Rihanna video we'd ever seen at the time and was a real change from usual. It gave a hint of what was to come I think with the 'Rated R' era. The song and video are both flawless tbh. (Why did I give it a 9. )

Posted by: Jonjo 16th November 2016, 10:26 PM

Very surprised that's as low as #10! Genuinely thought it was a contender to WIN

Gutted tbh. Deserved to be top 3!

Like the song, I've always found this really overrated It's not BAD, but nothing about it really stands out as very good imo. I'm not surprised at all at it's finishing place though.

Posted by: Andrew. 16th November 2016, 10:33 PM

Ooops forgot to do this with the top 10, here are the top 8:

Bitch Better Have My Money
Hard (feat. Jeezy)
Man Down
Only Girl (In The World)
Pour It Up
Russian Roulette
We Found Love (feat. Calvin Harris)
Where Have You Been

ADORE the 'Umbrella' video, I think it's pretty iconic. That's probably down to me seeing it so so many times that summer though! BBHMM still to win plz (with Where Have You Been in 2nd)

Posted by: Atonement 17th November 2016, 09:14 AM

I'm hoping for a 'Where Have You Been' win! The video makes no sense but I love the scenery and we rarely see Rih perform choreography.

This video is one of those ones where her attitude slays me *.* The song is ok but it really comes alive in the video and I'm not surprised at all to see it so high tbh.

Y'all have rubbish taste tbh. I've never really been a big fan of this video (It's just a bit random and lacks a storyline but it gets 6 points for the scenery *.*) but you obviously did and it nearly makes it into the top 5.

Missing out on the top 5 by just one point is 'Russian Roulette'! This video was a lot more edgy and different from anything she'd done before, and it's a shame it's not really remembered as one of her best these days as it's flawless. I'd say #6 is about where I'd have expected it to be (should be top three tbh.)

Posted by: Cremey 20th November 2016, 07:33 PM

'Where Have You Been' should've been top 2!

So many MOMENTS. The rising up out of the water, the choreography, the outfits...

When it came out I was scarily obsessed with the song and video but I think I overplayed both and it's something I never really go back to these days It's still a great video though and deserving of a place in the top 10 imo.

Posted by: mr_pmt 21st November 2016, 10:21 PM

I can't believe 'Disturbia' is all the way down at #10. That should be the winner!

My top would be much different. I would have liked to have ranked the videos, but there are too many I can't recall/didn't watch. (I usually watch most music videos once unless I really love them)

This video is flawless. It came very close to getting my 11 but Pour It Up (which is still to come *.*) just nabbed it. I love how it shows Rih isn't afraid to push the boundaries, like 'S&M' had just before. This should've been huge :'(

Arguably the most shocking video of Rih's career, 'BBHMM' just misses out on a place in the top 2! As much as I love it I'm surprised it's this high, when it came out I remember quite a few people saying it distasteful or whatever but I guess they forgot to rate

So it's between 'Pour It Up' and 'We Found Love'! Spam this thread with hype.

Great top three, even if Bitch Better Have My Money is THE one.

Posted by: Jonjo 24th November 2016, 11:14 PM

The top 3 should've been reversed. 'We Found Love' is a good video, just not "great" or anywhere deserving of winning, imo. I can see the PIU appeal though, even if the song is terrible.

Oh and thank you for taking the time to do this Andrew! Was really fun <3
