May 6, 201510 yr And excuse you for totally discounting my opinion on the songs. Just because you believe them to be 'shit' doesn't make it fact. Stan away, hun, no one's judging you. No one's opinion should be a fact, but the general reception of the songs speaks for itself. One thing we both agree on, though, is that the release strategies have been a mess. Rihanna has put out 'different' songs before (Rockstar 101, Man Down) but only far into her album campaigns. I might have appreciated BBHMM & AO more if they were singles #4-#5, but to precede your comeback album with these is, in my opinion, ridiculous, not to say outrageous.
May 7, 201510 yr That doesn't mean she can release shit songs and get away with it. Stop excusing her. This. She obviously thinks she's big enough to release any ol shoite and still have a hit - didn't work for GaGa, didn't work for Britney, didn't work for Christina, didn't work for Madonna and didn't work for her. Most of the other pop stars who started doing that are now irrelevant (except for GaGa). Rihanna may very well have jumped the shark. Edited May 8, 201510 yr by #BJSCSLAYERRRRRR
