rated r was $h!t . loud will be brilliant. rihanna is back on top of her game finally

rated r was $h!t .

:mellow: What? Even her haters admit that the album was fantastic, and is perhaps her best album. Rated R was a fantastic album, in my opinion, and I doubt that she'll be able to top it.

Rated R is easily her finest effort.

I strongly disagree about Rated R. There are only four or five tracks at best which I like on the album. Its a much harder sound and image which doesnt really suit her in my opinion.

Rated R is definitely her best album as a whole, she really came into her own with that and her attitude on some of the tracks actually seemed more authentic than any previous attempts at that. It was better because it was more real sounding. Good Girl Gone Bad had a few catchy pop classics but it had its fair share of filler on there, Rated R had about two or three fillers.

 

This new stuff is sounding quite generic, I quite like 'What's My Name' though.

Rated R worked extremely well as an album, which personally I don't think is common with today's pop albums, usually they're quite sporadic but Rated R was structured and laid out perfectly. The only track that didn't do it for me was Photographs (feat. will.i.am.

 

I cannot wait for Loud. I love Only Girl and What's My Name! I'm really eager to hear Man Down!

I'm personally really eager to hear 'Cheers', what I've heard about it sounds like it could be AMAZING.

Yeah, definitely sound's like a party anthem. I don't know why I'm so eager to hear Man Down, I think I remember her talking about it in an interview and it excited me, although I can't remember what she said.

Cannot WAIT for 'Raining Men'. Rihanna + Nicki surely = absolute HEAVEN?!

Someone on PJ who's heard the full album says that Complicated is the stand-out whilst Raining Men is the low point. He says it 'doesn't showcase Nicki' and 'doesn't go anywhere'. We'll see!

Yes I read this too! I guess everyone has an opinion but I think this album will be amazing.

As an ex-hater of Rihanna I'm going to jump into the fan community and say I can't wait ^_^

Saturday Night Live Performances

 

 

 

The 'Only Girl (In The World)' performance was quite a mess :lol: she shouldn't have used those auto-tune effect and the band :manson: I just hope she doesn't have them on her X Factor performance tonight or it'll be a complete disaster :(

 

The 'What's My Name' performance on the other hand was good IMO ^_^ the bridge was sung amazingly well! :D

Oh dear at the 'Only Girl (In The World)' performance. :mellow: It seemed so messy, I hope she has changed the performance for tonight on The X Factor. -_- The performance of 'What's My Name' on the other hand, was incredible!

Wasn't a real fan of "What's my name" when I heard it on YouTube... but this performance makes it all right :)

Pre-Ordered my copy from HMV before. :D

 

So excited to hear it! :w00t:

Love the Way You Lie (Part 2) is completely :wub:!

ADORE it.

It's great isn't it? And I don't even like Pt 1! Even Eminem is tolerable on it.

I really like 'Love the Way You Lie (Part II)' as well. Looking forward to buying the album. :wub:

'Love The Way You Lie (Part II)' is sensational! Her vocals sound real. Interest in this album has been reignited for me! :D
