The next You Decide is between Rihanna's first two successful ballads, 'Unfaithful' and 'Take A Bow'! This is a hands down win for 'Take A Bow' imo, not only her best ballad but pushing for her best overall :wub: I kinda get the constant 'bland' criticisms it get but I got into it pretty much instantly and it's one I've came to properly love as time goes on. 'Unfaithful' meanwhile has never been anything other than bland imo, I remember it being such a let down after the incredible 'SOS'!

'Unfaithful' is still one of my favourite Rihanna songs. It is a 10/10 for me.

'Take A Bow' is a 6/10 at the most. One of her worst singles.

Definitely 'Unfaithful'. I bought it on single in 2006. I think it's one of the last singles I ever bought.

I always disliked 'Take a Shit' and it only sorta grew on me after I became a Rihanna fan and forced all of the songs I didn't like on me.

Luckily I bought the original GGGB so I don't have to skip it.

Take a Bow is very good but Unfaithful is perfect, one of her very best if not her absolute best single for me, it breaks my heart.

I always assumed 'Take A Bow' was regarded as one of her best on here while 'Unfaithful' wasn't, maybe that's me being completely blind idk :lol:

Looking back, I probably should give 'Unfaithful' another chance, 11 years later :') I've barely listened to it since it was released and if I ever heard it on the radio etc I'd turn it over and get SOS/another Rih song from that era instead :kink:

'Unfaithful' by absolute miiiiiles. I have always found 'Take A Bow' so dull and overrated. But 'Unfaithful' is a great song, with my only critique being that her vocals are a bit nasally on it which prevents it from being a total 10/10. But yeah, the easiest winner to choose for these duels so far for me.

Her vocals are just about the best thing about it for me Jade :o Even if the music wasn't as good (especially that first album :')) Rih definitely still had that star quality back then.
