Rihanna's "We Found Love" controversy

[Sekou]

Rihanna's music video to the first single "We Found Love" of her upcoming album is seemingly steering up a lot of controversy.

Among other things, the video shows her smoking crack, swallowing pills and acting like a slut in public with a young blonde guy who looks intriguingly similar to Chris Brown.

Check out the video below:

The clip is under fire by women's anti-rape group “Rape Crisis Center” for exploiting the harsh manners and ways that she interacted with her cast mate in the scenes, not to mention the butt tattooing that went on during the video, too.

The center is claiming that young Rihanna is sending out the wrong message, letting on that she is “an object to be possessed by men.”

What do you think?

I think Rihanna is a piece of shit with no dignity or self-respect and has to whore herself out in order to sell some music.
Her voice is annoying, she is annoying, she has no real talent whatsoever. She can't sing live. She doesn't write or produce her own songs. Only thing she can is to play on sex so she can get some money in her account.



Bitch.

[Trimss]

I wish she has a sex tape.


But yeah, I noticed that yesterday. He looks like Chris Brown.

That's just the majority of pop music you're describing and it's been done for ages. She actually is one of the few pop stars who sing live. From what I've heard, her shows are amazing and she's a great entertainer.

Really, you won't get where she is by being a talentless whore.

I remember the things that she did in Carnival Road Show. Bitch

But she is making it too apparent lately.

[Guess_Who]

the first time I watched the video, the movie "Requiem for a dream" came to my mind. I think the video is clearly inspired by the movie. Not a bad video for me but I don't like the song.

But I like the Coldplay version of the song:

For ages? Pop music has only been this way for 11 years. She may be one of the few pop stars that sing live but it makes no difference BECAUSE SHE IS TERRIBLE AT IT. Have you heard her try and sing live? Its atrocious.

I have not seen her live but have you? I mean really in the same room? Youtube videos can ruin even the best live singer. 11 Years? Thats just bullshit, ever since Elvis started swinging his hips people have been complaining about music selling sex.

Oh, I was talking about the chumps that have no real talent whatsoever, don't produce or write, can't sing live, that use sex to sell music. Sure there have been some examples throughout the ages, but its mostly been prevelant in the last 11 years. Its different if the people using sex are actually talented artists, I wasnt counting them.

Yes shitty quality videos on youtube will ruin even the best singers, but you can usually avoid those by looking at the picture. But come on, don't try and deffend her singing, I havent heard a single compliment from critics in that area and from what I've heard off of the normal quality youtube videos (Which don't ruin singers in the slightest) she will never recieve one.

I mean you say you can't where she is by being a talentless whore, well sure she has SOME ability in singing, but nowhere near enough to justify a record deal.

Theres a simple solution to not liking the video/not liking Rihana's music.
Don't listen/Don't watch
I'm not a huge fan of Rihana. In fact, not a huge fan of pop at all. I don't like the way it sounds, so I don't listen to it. That way, I don't have to hear it nearly as much. The only thing you really can do if you hate it that much is to not listen to it. If it really bothers you just don't watch the music video, problem solved.
This applies to pretty much ALL media^

Tbh I liked Rihanna before the whole Chris Brown thing. Back then she was more wholesome, real and her music's way better. Now, it's like she wants to show everyone she's tough and shit.
