Sinful

Rated R's branding has been superb (though I think the Rockstar 101 cover could have been handled better), and while the GGGB era seemed consistent, the typefaces and overall branding is hideous.

'Speechless' has been performed nearly everywhere though, and though not an official single, has received more than enough exposure for my liking. No next single, just new album.

Beyonce and Christina shouldn't even be considered alongside these others, they are in a completely different league. Lady Gaga has a soulful voice, but I'd definitely say her strength comes as a performer overall, rather than because she has a technically brilliant voice.

That's because 'Dirty Picture' is just average.

01 Already Gone 02 Don't Let Me Stop You 03 Impossible Honours to....My Life and If I Can't Have You :) Such a brilliantly succinct pop album.

I don't think they're really hoping for any further single success (any is obviously great though) but I think the focus is now on shifting some album copies as 'Cry Me Out' was able to do that really well. I hope she does release 'Here We Go Again' it may actually get her into the Top 10 again with some promotion and a good video.

Wow, she's loved her melismas pretty much all her life then. Sometimes it really is overlaod though. Remember seeing this performance on TV, nice to see it again.

Its reminding of how high 'Battlefield' climbed...and then DROPPED.

OMG amazing. She's looking more like Madonna with each hair get-up :P

This album hasn't done too badly, its sold what like 2.5 million worldwide so far? Which are respectable sales in the current music climate. Since it was such a different Rihanna sound, she's obviously alienated a few fans, but with the huge success of Rude Boy I'm sure she's one a fair few back, her next album looks very promising right now. Can't believe she'll be on her 5th album and she's like 22?!

I'm sorry, I think you accidentally posted a gay bondage video.

Can someone explain to me the sudden success of Selena? I'm surprised she's managed to do what seems to be impossible for MILEY CYRUS (the Queen of Disney); crack the Top 10. Baffling.

I hope she gets the chance to play lots of different characters, if the 'Not Myself Tonight' is going to be any indication of the video's content :P

I don't understand how people can say this doesn't have a melody or isn't catchy? 'Ooh baby I'm a rockstar" (repeat x1000)? Enough of a hook? :P

Mercedes has raw talent, but Rachel's voice is so controlled, she can pretty much sing any genre, gotta be her. But Meracdes? :lol:

I loved this song from the beginning, I dunno if its too much of a risk as a single seeing as it doesn't really fit into any genre on radio, but I gotta say the chorus does have a massive hook, and the video should be alot of fun. IMO, after the (surprising?) success of Rude Boy, everything else off this album is going to pale in comparison, and likely won't bother the charts all too much, I'd say get to work on a re-release ASAP, cause while I love 'Te Amo', 'Rockstar', 'Fire Bomb' and 'Photographs'...they're almost destined to reach Top 20 at best?

Finn's quote should have been: "I gotta go, they'll think I'm pooping" :lol:
