I think it should be filed against the director - not Rihanna. I mean Rihanna probably didn't have a clue the director was 'stealing' ideas from somebody else :wacko:

Yeah I agree, unless it was Rihanna's own personal ideas.

Rihanna is co-director. It looks like her team hired Melina after Joseph Kahn declined (they obviously sent him one of those picture-boards or something).

Is Rihanna performing this tonight at the Brits? :unsure:

This is better than her last single but still does not come close to Only Girl :(

Another slutty music video from a sl**. Sigh...

Up to #4 in the UK iTunes :D :heart:

My crush on her continues to grow.

 

Great to see this will be top 3 hopefully and doesn't fall but top 5 is still great.

Uncalled for :angry:

With 'S&M' having to be edited on Radio1 surely they could play the unedited verison and warn people that you may find some lyrics offessive surely, the presenter could do that. They did that with 'Ayo Technology' in 2007 what do you reckon?

I loled when I heard the edited version last night! Pointless!

I wonder if it'll peak any higher than #3 at some point

I can't see this climbing higher than #3 now, but it has done very well

 

Still not as keen on it as the previous 2 singles from the album though :(

Agree on both counts. It's pretty throwaway but I still enjoy it alot.

 

Hoping she releases 'California King Bed' to close the album.

I don't think the album is gonna be done for a while! They'll milk this like GGGB I reckon! It must be closing in on GGGB's sales now?! Crazy!

Yeah I can deffo see a re-release coming ... sure I read something about a collab with Katy Perry too, if that happens and the song is any good, it'll be HUGE.

Katy Perry + Rihanna duet will be huge regardless of whether it's $h!t (i.e. Beyoyo and GaGa 'Videophone') or amazing (i.e. GaGa & Beyoyo 'Telephone'), I reckon. They're arguably the two biggest stars of last year (just like GaGa and Bey were, before the release of 'Telephone')
