I heard the cd as well and I don't like it at all. Best song on their is umberlla and I don't even like that song

I was mad about Breakin' Dishes -edit version- too! All she says is I'm kicking asses, so why did that have to be edited out? On Britney's "Early Morning" track she said ass and it wasn't censored out and nor was the album slapped with a parental advisory label.

I hope she won't suffer from the James Blunt-type of backlash.

^^^I'm hoping it stays in the top 20 for another month and a bit, so they decide to hold back SU&D in the UK, and have Breaking Dishes as the second UK single.

Some band did a cover of Umbrella on Radio 1 last week, and Jo Whiley has played it a few time's since. It's a really lovely acoustic version.

Forward to 16 and a half minutes. Love it.

I don't understand it either. It's not even crude enough for the explicit content/lyrics label let alone the crappy edit.

*sigh* When I first heard the song I thought she'd laid the N-bomb, but to discover that she'd only said "ass" instead was just a little stupid to me. Maybe she'll release a deluxe edition that featured the UNCUT version instead.

Secretly, I hope she does release a CD+DVD version of this album soon. It's rather annoying trying to catch her videos on TRL everyday. If I had high-speed internet though, all that wouldn't be much of a problem...

Good Girl Gone Bad is incredible! While I'm still not entirely convinced that Rihanna is a great talent or a credible artist, it's wonderful to see her at least move away from the island rhythms that dominated her music and into more exciting, edgy territory. Even still, I think this his hands down the best pop album of the year. Almost every song has the potential to become a monster hit, with their infectious hooks and stellar production. Excellent job Riri!

^Shexxxful! Very provacative. She's an awful dancer though, it's kind of laughable.

I'm so excited cause I'm seeing her live in September! Vocally, I don't know how she'll fare, but I'm sure she'll look great, my little bodacious Bajan beauty/bombshell/babycakes! Akon is also sharing the stage with her for the Canadian dates though...that's not quite as exciting.

Don't Stop The Music PV is out as well. She filmed it at the same time as Shut Up & Drive while she was in Europe, and recently premiered it on BET. Seems kind of dumb dumb to rush out the video for this third single when Shut Up & Drive is just starting to pick up some steam on the charts.

She confirmed that I Hate That I Love You will be the fourth single as well while at BET. I'm not too enthused about that choice, because I'd much prefer Breakin' Dishes or Rehab to be the fourth single. ESPECIALLY Breakin' Dishes, because she confirmed it to be the third single before the album was even released, but that never came into fruition. Even still, all the tracks on the album have potential to be hits in my opinion, so I don't really mind her choice for fourth single.

I hate the Don't Stop the Music video...It's so mediocre to me. The beginning of it seemed to have so much potential but the middle-&-end were so typical. She's an international superstar now, she shouldn't really have to make videos like that anymore.

Now Shut Up & Drive? That's one of her best to me. I especially like the Fast & the Furious walking scene, it really shows off her gorgeous legs and curvy figure.

As for Hate That I Love You as the fourth single, I feel terrible about it. I really don't like Ne-Yo, especially after the way he's been treating his supposed baby's momma...Then there's the fact that he's just such a retard when it comes to clarifying himself as an entertainer, a songwriter and whatnot...We know what you are already! But then again, it's not as if you're really THAT good at what you do...At least not enough for you to keep telling us over & over again.

*sighs* I just wish she'd have released Rehab as her ballad single instead. Regardless of Amy Winehouse's (btw why does everyone call her Amy Crackhouse?) song Rehab, it really shouldn't matter anyway. Or at least it doesn't to me.

I agree that HTILY shouldn't have been the fourth single.

However, the reason everyone calls Winehouse that is 1. she is kind of a druggy (sp), and 2. she's had plenty of mishaps such as spitting on a crowd of fans and banging a mic on her head while performing onstage. She's out there, but I love her music.

I always thought her actual surname was extremely fitting :laugh

Oh well, if drinking and smoking to excess gave her that voice I'm all for it.

Back on topic: As long as Breakin' Dishes gets a video I don't care what the 4th single is. That song is brilliant.

Umbrella has been UK #1 for ten weeks. It's the longest #1 reign since '94.

Love is All Around by Wet Wet Wet, from Four Weddings and a Funeral.

if i'm correct, umbrella is #3 in UK now. timbaland ft. keri hilson - the way i are is in the top :(

yes they broke her streak!!! :o that song is awful =\

LOL fanmail, so you're an umbrella-hater eh? LOL

yeah i'm agree with you. umbrella sure is gonna fall from the top spot sometimes but i don't like the fact that the way i are did it. the song is ok though but not that great IMHO. big girls don't cry deserves it...

I love this girl. She winked at me in concert. Five times. And pointed at me. Twice. And she sang a whole song with direct eye contact to me. We are pretty much soulmates.

GOD...
she is very successful...
with the hit umbrella now she is the most famous artist :D
i like rihanna also because of SOS and umbrella..
now i like
SOS
pon de replay
hate that i love you
umbrella
don't stop the music and breakin' dishes

Seany Sean, btw, how old are you? :O

That's so awesome. Gwen Stefani pointed made direct eye contact with me at her concert. I was in the third row. I'd love to see Rhanna live though.

And has anyone heard the song "Cry"? It's a bonus track on Good Girl Gone Bad but it's seriously so beautiful I think it should be a single.

Cry still gives me chills to this day, why it wasn't a main track is beyond me. It's probably my favorite apart from Umbrella.

Umbrella should definitely win Song of the Year.

umbrella nominated in MVA 2008 for international categore

^YAY GO RIHANNA!!! I loved all her songs of her album good girl gone bad ^^

It's rumored that Rihanna's gonna be performing at the Grammy's this year! Also, the writer's guild isn't going to be picketing at the show so I guess more celebrities will show as well.

^ woow she is incredible..
she can become popular very fast since umbrella had realesed

Well, to be honest, it's not like she was unknown before Umbrella, but, yeah, her fame did reach new levels with the single.

^ Yeah I agree, before umbrella, my friends and I really didnt care to much for her... She was just another singer.

^ my friends also
before umbrella realese they don't know about her

1st time i know rihanna from SOS

I loveeee that song. Another one I really like "PS Im still in love with you" I think it's called.

Ah, I love P.S.'s lyrics. It's actually sad when you think about it, but the music and her voice.. they make it seem like she's taking everything positively.
As for sad ballads.. Final Goodbye is so emotional. It should have been the closing track of A Girl Like Me.

I love love love "P.S. (I'm Still Not Over You)" to pieces. Before she sang "Umbrella" in concert she did a spoken intro for it while her band played "P.S. (I'm Still Not Over You)". But unfortunately she didn't actually sing it. It was heart-breaking.

She's coming to Canada and the US again as part of Kanye's tour, alongside N.E.R.D and Lupe Fiasco who are also support acts! It's gonna be BALLIN'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does she has new single???
the latest single is dont stop[ the music,right???

I used to hate Rihanna's music before her new CD. Now I really like it. She sort of conformed but that's OK considering the songs are GREAT.

I really love Umbrella, xD Are there anymore tracks to recommend me from her latest album? I'm planning to get it this Saturday.

I'm also a fan of Don't Stop the Music and Breakin' Dishes. I think the overall quality of the tracks is really good.

Rihanna attended and performed at Madonna and Gucci's fund raiser last night.

You can view a clip from her performance right here courtesy of Gucci as well as a red carpet interview clip.

thank you vinyl..
waw, new hairstyle???

thankyou for the pic Vinyl-san :)
Rihanna is really pretty in the dress :)

i like that hairstyle...

This thread cannot gone ... yet!

Look at how popular is Umbrella. MadTv used it as... a song
Please, it has some sex jokes of it, but mostly it talks about Obama & Hillary Clinton.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xb3bDwE9jQ

I only need Rihanna's first album Music of the Sun then I've her album discography :)

rihanna is dating with chris brown??
ohh i've no idea...

umbrella very popular...
this hit make her name rise very fast...
i like rock version

I don't like how she keeps cutting her hair shorter and shorter!

Long hair makes her hot. Although she looked breathtaking in the Umbrella video ... OMG SHE'S DATING CHRIS BROWN!?! Please don't be true, he gets on my nerves!! </3

I like Chris Brown. :innocent Well, his music anyway. But I never expected them to be dating.

I love Rihanna with short hair.

eww @Chris Brown.

Rihanna has songs those have not really a different...
I mean:

Under my Umbrella ella ella
Shut up and drive drive drive...

I think that's sooo horrible! But Final Goodbye, Good Girl Gone bad and Unfaitful where soo good!

^ hate that i love you nice too

Ella-ella-ella-EH-EH-Eh
Having problems with your vowels there?

I enjoyed unfaithful, but her voice annoys me so much sometimes.
She was on the morning show 1 time and all i could think was: wow. what a biatch.

Yeh, i don't really like her...i shall go now...

Is anyone here getting the re-release of GGGB?

I am! even though I kind of hate "Take A Bow." =x

^ :laugh

I might get it with the DVD since I didn't buy it when it first came out.

I hate that too but the reason they do these rereleases IS for money. I wish they would just give us the option to begin with (since it's kind of unpredictable which albums are going to be rereleased), but there isn't anything we can do about it. I loved GGGB but I'm not buying the rerelease because I'm not going to support their crappy money-making strategies. Take A Bow sucks ass too. Riri could have done so much better.

No way. I'm happy with the original; it's bad enough they re-released it over here with a bonus remix disc right after I got my normal original copy, hello the N-O am I getting this new version! Take a Bow is L.A.M.E, but I'll check out the other new songs on iTunes to see if I should just DL them there =/

I don't mind Take A Bow. =x

Take a Bow is a OK song...but I never thought it would reach number 1.

I'm kind of into Rihanna but realized pretty recently that her recent album is mostly a rip-off of current european dance styles -- like check this list on itunes http://electricnation2010.com/tracks

"Disturbia" has leaked.

it is AMAZING.

i'mma wait. for the reloaded album to leak. *hates single mp3s*

Disturbia is amazing. At least we know the rerelease will have one new amazing song. Take a Bow was just such a disappointment.

:hi5

I hate seeing an artist with only one song in my iTunes list, lmao.

I want it to leak too! Actually, I didn't find Take A Bow to be a bad song. It wasn't great, nor was it single-worthy, but it's not bad. I somewhat like it.

I think the fact that a pretty mediocre song like Take a Bow went to number one demonstrates that Rihanna is getting alot of attention now. I think what she needs to secure her status as a bonafide popstar with staying power is a string of really good songs right now while she has the spotlight. I think Don't Stop the Music and Umbrella and basically the GGGB album as a whole was a step in the right direction. Hopefully she can hold onto the success. Her next album has to clinch it.

BTW Disturbia is greaaaaaat!

Agreed! Her next album has to be as good as Good Girl Gone Bad or else her reputation will fall.

excuse me, do you have her new song disturbia?
where i can find it?

Take A Bow is, like, okay. It's no Final Goodbye or anything. D: But I'm glad that it got to #1.
Disturbia is.. um, I can't remember it. But I remember thinking it was cool. I'm so going to love it in a month, I'm sure...
WHEN I buy the Reloaded album, even though I have the original one. I have to get it for the live DVD, because Rihanna was the first [and to date, only] big star I ever saw on stage and I just have to remember that day fo' eva, y'all. MARCH SIXTEEN, REPRESENT.

Can someone upload Disturbia? I really want to hear it. :)

it's a lot of pressure for her. =\

Disturbia is very catchy! I can't stop listening to it!

do you have that song?could you upload for me?
i havent got it

^ Can't be uploaded :/

Yeah, Rihanna's stuff can't be downloaded here! I haven't heard disturbia but I can't wait to hear it.

EDIT:// Found a Youtube link with the download and video of the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lj3uIItUzI


I think her voice has improved a lot. On Take A Bow her voice isn't as squeaky as it usually is.

( i feel so weird appearing here suddenly)

BUT GOD DISTURBIA IS SO TECHNO AND I LOVE IT. *cant wait for video :3*

is take a bow that bad >_> i kinda enjoyed it actually :(

Yeah, I kind of liked Take a Bow too. Better than Disturbia. I also liked her outfit in the video.

DISTURBIA~ omg i had like MEGA earworms for disturbia the whole time in school

its so. i don't know. stuck to the brain @_@ I THINK ITS HER VOICE O_O

Disturbia is catchy in a weird way. I like it. :)

DISTURBIA PLAYING COUNT ON iTUNES ... 63!!!! I LOVE THAT SONG.......

Disturbia is vile. I hope this re-re-release bombs. =\

^ YES PLEASE. than my friend will buy it. AND I CAN BORROW IT. AND I CAN PLAY DISTURBIA FOREVERRRRRRRRR

and i just cant download disturbia. its irritating the shizz outta me T_T

meatpao was like "stop singing disturbia before i disturb-ya" -______-

^ oh um... by "bomb", i meant like... fails. XD coz it's the 3rd time they've released the album now, and with what this time, 2 new songs? please :o

^and a DVD ... lol ... it shouldn't bomb, but ... well it won't sell so much ... I hope that Disturbia is going to be a single and she's going to release a proper video for this...

^ oh there's a DVD too? i didn't know that -.-" well even so! they don't need to release the album AGAIN. they could keep the songs for a new album or something =\

I think Rihanna's management is somewhat nervous about her next album and its high expectations, so they released two new songs on a repackaged version of a hit album for safety reasons.

I think so too. As much as I hate rereleases though, this is only the first rerelease of GGGB so I don't understand the whole "don't rerelease it again" stuff.

I'm thinking her record label is probably mad that she's one of the hottest artists out there, but the album has definitely underperformed in the States. 1.3 million is strangely low after having 4 top ten hits, 2 of which reaching #1. They probably want the album to sell another million or so, so they're rereleasing it. She's taking a page right out of Mimi's book with this one.

omg i suck fanmail. HAHA oops. >_> (but i really wish my friends buys it though. oh well @_@)

oops T_T

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Gi..._Bad:_Reloaded

wow at the tracklisting O_O

I don't like Rihanna's hairdo now . I like it during the Umbrella era but her current do's like boyish & etc .

She looked unusually old in the PV for If I Never See Your Face Again with Maroon 5 though

I don't like her lipstick colour in there

Disturbia debuted this week at 18 on the Hot 100, her highest debut thus far! Hopefully radio will embrace the single (which is pretty much inevitable), because I fear digital sales might stall pretty quickly otherwise. Like I said though, I'm extremely confident Rihanna has another sure-fire hit on her hands.

I actually decided to pick up the rerelease simply because I adored GGGB so very much. Admittedly, the rerelease is pretty pointless and makes what was originally a perfectly paced pop album feel unnecessarily bloated, but Disturbia and the packaging alone make up for it. The new turqouise/red colour scheme on the cover looks awful in pictures, but in actuallity it's very shiny and metallic and classy and beautiful.

Take A Bow is still mind-numbingly uninspired though. It's most definitly a decent song and a smart single choice given how Americans seem to jump on any sassy female breakup anthem/Irreplaceable clone, but it hardly fits the tone of the album.

After Disturbia, I really hope Breakin' Dishes finally sees a release. Sure, she's been milking this thing long enough, but I really think its the only other song she'll ever have that has the potential to come even somewhat close to the massive success of Umbrella.

I think so too. Disturbia is a fantastic song and far better than the horribly dull Take a Bow. Like you said, it's decent enough but it bothers me that people can release boring songs like that and people here will eat them all up. There's far too much dull R&B getting success here in the states.

I'm picking it up as well for the same reasons, even though I also own the original release. I do think the cover is much better than the original, but it bothers me that they couldn't have just done another shoot for a new cover. The whole "recycling the same image with pretty metallic colors" thing seems pretty cheap to me. I think Disturbia will be the last single from GGGB though. I don't see Breakin' Dishes happening, even though it was rumored long ago. I would love for it to happen, but I don't think it will. Now with the rerelease, releasing a song from the original version as a single doesn't seem like something they would do (unless they're REALLY desperate for her not to release anything new).

Rihanna's new material sounds so much better than her debut music. My copy of GGGB should arrive today, and I can't wait to listen to all of the tracks. I already love "Umbrella," "Don't Stop the Music," and "Disturbia." :heart

I've had Breakin' Dishes STUCK in my head for like 3 days now.

argh i love it.
