Amazing video! Surprisingly not as shallow as I expected! I feared it would be Only Girl 2.0 (OG was amazing but I wouldn't like another one) and this pretty much blew me away! Wonderful. Still not that mad about the song but it's good.

Fantastic video. Probably my favourite of hers yet. The intro made me really emotional. Brilliant.

This woman is tremendous. THIS is the sort of thing Gaga used to bring before she became quite so overblown in her video art - the full spectrum of emotions, relevance, grit, and a hard-hitting message that connects. Gorgeous. Probably my favourite video of the year, and although the imagery isn't quite as appealing as in the Rude Boy video it's easily the best of her career in terms of the full package...

 

It doesn't even feel as if Rihanna is at the TOP OF HER POTENTIAL yet, which is the amazing thing!

I was gonna say it was like watching Rihanna in Skins. Really good video, I'm very impressed.

 

Still don't think much of the song though. :P

As much as I criticize Rihanna at times, when this woman delivers, she really delivers some brilliant stuff. Definitely her best video to date and up there as one of the best of the year.

This, although I think it's probably one of the best mainstream pop songs of the year. Bravo etc.

The video is so good. Anybody know who directed it? I love the images when the mix is playing before the chorus. Total mindf***.

 

I think the video is going to come in for a little bit of stick though, not because of the drug, drinks, smoking, carlsberg product placement, sex, gambling, stealing, fighting lol, more because of nthe very obvious portrayl of Breezy!

Agyness Deyn is the woman speaking in the opening monologue. How cool.

It's safe to say that this is the peak of her career.

 

AMAZING. :wub:

AMAZING. :wub:

 

People have been saying that for years!

Hmm, I'm afraid I don't get the fuss over the video. Then again I think the song nigh on unlistenable so yeah, I guess I'm going to have to sit this one out.

Wow, so much to it! Definitely shocked :o

Ri :wub:

It's growing on me - I think the video will definitely help in that respect.

Wow. I don't know what else there is to say about the video when it's all been said before (and probably better than how I would post it haha) but yes brilliant video and shot beautifully.

Everything about this song/video/release is just plain GOOD.

There's a lot of hyperbole surrounding this. It's a very good video but I don't think it really suits this particular song at all - it would've gone much better with something from Rated R. A Calvin Harris-produced track says 'let's lark about in a field ala Only Girl' to me. I'm not knocking her for pulling out a very strong video with a message though, and the Making Of video makes me luff her even more.

 

The song remains GOOD, but no more.

I love the video and it fits the song reasonably well. Not what you'd expect but that's not a bad thing. I wonder if this will be the era of fantastic music videos? :D

Apparently this is also being plugged as Calvin's third single?

 

@CalvinHarris The Rihanna one is 3rd RT @NATEosaur I know "Bounce" and "Feel So Close" are doing amazing right now but when can we expect a third single?

Add me to the love of the video. Amazing stuff there.

 

Everything about this has been SO perfect. I don't know how it can get any better.

This! :D
