Rap-Up.com || Rihanna Goes Blonde in ‘You Da One’ Video

Good girl has gone blonde. Rihanna swtiched up her style yet again while shooting the colorful video for “You Da One,” the second single from her sixth album Talk That Talk, produced by Dr. Luke and written by Ester Dean.

In the first images from the London set, the Bajan bombshell rocked a short blonde wig, torn denim shorts, patterned leggings, and a white top hat. She held a black cane as she performed scenes in front of a bright pink wall in the visuals inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 film A Clockwork Orange.

What do you think of RiRi’s blonde ambition?

@Prada-G, Rihanna makes good videos, it’s one of the only things I like about her, so I know you’re a hater. The last Rihanna music video I didn’t like was Please Don’t Stop the Music.

@yazii, really? do you REALLY think that that tacky outfit is inspired by the orange clockwork? lemme show ya sumthng … white pants, white shirts, white braces, black boots and black hat.. WHAT? DID SHE INSPIRE BY WHAT?
she’s tacky as hell, and bitchie, look at those nipples!

and all the keri haters, rihanna rocked a blond wig, everything is OK, then keri tries a red wig or cuts her hair(or even backs to her dark hair), and SHE’S COPYING RIH!hell.. you’ve got a problem.

and for those who said before nasty things about keri, she never, never.. showed or even tried to show you one of her nipples.. the way you love me maybe was sexual, but she didn’t show her boobs.

@Peasant, First of all, I came on the post to read about her new video because I am a fan of A Clockwork Orange. Secondly, my comment was to the Keri Hilson stan being disrespectful & you would have known that if you bothered READING the comment. I don’t recall addressing you at all but if you would like to go a round, we certainly can my dear. BTW, why would I kiss your’s or anyone else’s asses? YOU are beneath me. P.S. Did you get the memo about Ri’s first week sales, even less than they predicted (0/6) … so would you please STFU!

@Peasant, Oh the ignorance. Yes, I’m a fan of Stanley Kubrick (A Clockwork Orange, Eyes Wide Shut, etc). To set the record straight, I’m not a regular on this chick’s posts but when I am on one I have NO problem setting the record straight. You mad because I dug in that ass about stating your opinion & trying to pass it along as facts like you did in your previous post. Congrats that she got nominated for Album of the Year by the Grammy foundation but if I may … SHE AIN’T WINNING IT! But if by some strange, ridiculous, out of the ordinary chance that she does … she still has a LONG way before she hits the magical number set by the one & only Beyonce. As far as the statement regarding you being beneath me, we can go the social status route, money, education however you want to take it. You should really get a habit & stop stanning for someone that doesn’t know your name or the fact that you even exist. I’m actually getting bored w/ you so no need for round 2. I honestly don’t have the time or the certification to deal w/ you.

FYI, i wouldn’t judge or make early assumptions before viewing the final product, you do not want to look stupid afterwards!:) Hence the popular saying “never judge a book by its cover in this case video stills especially since there’s only one scene being display!”

I love it, it’s different from what’s she has done in the past! Glad it’s colorful cause she usually rocks those colorful vid’s “Who’s that chick”….

These comments have just confirmed that Rihanna and Beyonce’s fans/stans don’t know much about music. Good music is not measure by sales or awards, content is what matters. If you cannot stand to listen to to a song two years after it was released then its not a good song its a catchy song. If you have to see the artist naked in order for you to say they are great. Remember nobody has seen whitney’s butt crack, nipples or her lady parts. She never had to parade in her intimates to win a grammy. These fans have unfortunately settled for the packaging.
