It honestly hasn’t been that long since we’ve heard Rihanna on the radio so i don’t really see why their rushing the album. The last single off of her previous album was just out at the beginning of this year (“Rehab”).

Cuz shes in high demand. I think def jam made a mistake by letting MC go before Amerie becuz i think shes gonna flop. It shouldve been Amerie, MC, then Rihannna. Or Amerie, Rihanna and then MC next year. Rihanna gonna sell big numbers.

Rihanna as an artist is really not good and not creative (has she ever written a song ? has she ever directed one of her many many videos ? can she even make a decision in all of this ? hell I’m sure she is not even the one doing the tracklist of her own album), as a hit maker she’s THE DEAL, she’s hot, she got the look (open your eyes people, she has assistants who decide what she gotta wear) she got an “original” voice (weak, but who cares when U just a studio singer ? U have the team behind to make it sound good) and recently she had the DRAMA, that touch makes U go from nothing to POP STAR ! that’s the all package, so we all know she’ll go hard with this one, releasing maybe 10 singles, doing a tour with a 45 minutes show, sticking her songs in my brain (I admit, I love it) and performing on every damn show (the worst, cause she just keep on doing live, that ain’t good for the ears), to sum up RIHANNA BRING IT I WANNA HEAR IT !

to clarify cause yall talking about numbers, saying that she kicked B’day and that now she can smash the other bitches, but babe, U can sale shit all over the world, U can play quantity, put your face, your body, your ugly ass fashion style out everyday of the year, BUT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE ME BELIEVE THAT RIHANNA IS BETTER THAN BEYONCE ! AND CIARA AND MARIAH !

…where’s the single? I guess nowadays, especially if you’re Rihanna, you don’t need a lot of time between the single and the album.

And she won’t be performing the single until the drop date. Smart? maybe.

It all depends on that first single’s reception.

Everybody who says Rihannas album never has sold good, that’s not true. I’m not a big fan of her, but her album Good Girl Gone Bad is in top 10 most sold album in 2008 or 2007…
