Definitely Love The Way You Like Pt. 2 here! V. glad that wasn't sent in an earlier round as I think that could've been the end of Rihanna's chances!

LTWYL Part II. :heart: I'm hoping this round is the reason why you guys have avoided sending it so far. :kink: It's an exceptional song and is far better than the original version imo.

Cry :snif:

There’s a reason I didn’t wanna send Love The Way You Lie pt2 and it was this very round!

 

I think this is very much a clear cut choice!

:clap: :clap: :clap:

As long as Gerald agrees that is :lol: but yeah I’d definitely say it’s the best option.

 

Especially as some of you have suggested it for previous rounds too. I think it’s perhaps her best known album track ever actually?

 

I’m fairly sure we’ll be sending it this round but as always stay tuned as all could change!

 

 

Thanks guys for supporting the Rihanna forum so far :D. I'm so ecstatic that we are in the top 5 of AF Idol.

 

YES YES YES to using LTWYL Part II!

omg at how many times 'Love The Way You Lie (Part II)' has been considered and it finally getting its time :lol:

 

Note that 'If I Never See Your Face Again' was a single so it wouldn't count, but when you skip the singles it's the same as the original album so it makes no difference. (I do wonder what happened to 'Hatin' On The Club' - I remember seeing that title listed somewhere as one of the new tracks that would be on the re-release, but then I looked at the CD in a shop when it came out and there was no such thing. Impressively Wikipedia confirms my memory that it was initially planned to be on it!)

The Last Song is stunning and my fave of those, Love The Way You Lie is a safer option but I don't think I'd personally vote for it :(.

The Last Song & Farewell >> Love The Way You Lie (Part 2)

 

But I love all 3. LTWYL is a strong contender for my votes, but the former 2 would be locked in pretty much :heart: (However, TLS is really being really under appreciated in the Rated R survivor!)

LTWYL is #1 option wow

 

I feel like these AF rounds have been catered just for Rihanna honestly :lol:

Vote for Love The Way You Lie Part II now! Or anytime before Tuesday 17:59 x

 

If you don't know this song, it's literally the original #1 song of 2010, but with two extra Rihanna verses instead of Eminem. Which can only be a good thing lbr

Unless everyone but Gaga has an unprecedented burst of votes it's probs safe to say Rih's in the top 4! Ik ik anything from here is a bonus but I'd love us to get top 2. I think 'We Found Love' could put up a fair fight against the inevitable Bad Romance if we get there but I'd be extremely surprised if it won. Not every round will be as lucky as this one for us obvs so the next two will be much more nerve-racking and YES an online song contest does make me nerveracked x

Congrats RiRi making top 4 :cheer:

 

 

ROUND 14: A top 40 hit single

> A single that reached any position from #11 to #40 <

 

Eek this isn't a great round for us D: The only forum I think we have a chance of beating is the Spice Girls, nothing obvious sticks out from them to me but I could be wrong! Presuming we can send features, the choices (excluding Rehab which was sent) are:

 

All Of The Lights

Believe It

Bitch Better Have My Money

Can't Remember To Forget You

Cheers (Drink To That)

Fly

Hate That I Love You

If I Never See Your Face Again

If It's Lovin' That You Want

Needed Me

Right Now

Talk That Talk

Te Amo

We Ride

What Now

You Da One

 

To see what would do well, I've looked at the results of the 2016 singles rate, which was the last full one. Believe It and Needed Me weren't included obvs. Only THREE of these songs averaged more than 7/10, which were:

 

19. All Of The Lights 7.43

25. Can't Remember To Forget You 7.11

26. Talk That Talk 7.07

 

These were how the others did:

 

30. Te Amo 6.9

31. What Now 6.73

32. Bitch Better Have My Money 6.71

34. Cheers (Drink To That) 6.54

35. If It's Lovin' That You Want 6.27

36. Hate That I Love You 6.21

37. Fly 6.06

38. You Da One 5.81

40. If I Never See Your Face Again 5.68

42. Right Now 5.31

43. We Ride 4.36 (last place)

 

Anything below What Now, maybe Cheers at a push would have no chance lmao. I'm not 100% sure if we can send features, if we can't then I'd go TTT. It's a hooky, fun urban pop song which is very instant which would surely go down with casual/non fans. None of the songs have particularly high averages/are really well loved in the navy so to get through Rih needs a song that will appeal to casual voters and I think sadly BBHMM is too hip hop to succeed :( What Now might?

 

If we can send collabs then I'm still not 100% sure I'd send All of the Lights, ik it got the highest average but like I said 7.4 is hardly mega and maybe Kanye will put people off? Can't Remember To Forget You isn't well remembered but it's more so than the others I guess :kink:

 

So yeah, presuming feat singles are allowed I'd go All Of The Lights, Can't Remember To Forget You or Talk That Talk, leaning towards TTT honestly but that's just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Up to y'all :lol:

I think 'If It's Lovin That You Want' would actually do the best out of those!

 

It'll have the nostalgia factor for casuals and I think people generally seem to think it's underrated.

All Of The Lights

If It's Lovin' That You Want

Te Amo

 

One of these plz

 

in that order. It'd be a shame to not send AOTL as it's incredible.

Can't Remember To Forget You issa bop *.*

I think 'If It's Lovin That You Want' would actually do the best out of those!

 

It'll have the nostalgia factor for casuals and I think people generally seem to think it's underrated.

'If It's Loving That You Want' issa bop and I deffo agree with the bolded bit but is it really remembered enough to have the nostalgia factor? Idk.

I think What Now would do the best of these
