Love The Way You Lie

Do you think LTWYL would have been as big as it is if Skylar Grey did the chorus instead of Rihanna?

Probably not. I don't understand why it was so big to begin with tbh. I think it had a lot to do with the crap Rihanna was going through at the time. He just got lucky that it happened to be her on the song.

No I don't think it would have been. I would have been less likely to skip it if it had someone else singing the chorus though, I'm not a fan of Rihanna's voice.

No fucking way. It was a good song so it would of gotten a decent spot. But once the world saw Eminem + Rhianna, it exploded.

& remember all the Rihanna talk after this song because of Chris Brown? "Like omg, this is lke the purfect song for hur"

Eminem can still make hit records, but Rihanna's name helped him a lot on this one

Definitely not, though I still think it would have been a big hit.

It's not just Rihanna's name though. Putting her on the hook was a brilliant move.

No way. The fact that shes featured in the new Eminem song brought worldwide attention to it. And the song got so much popular because her timbre fits the song and the chorus is very catchy. I've listened to Skylar grey's version and it sounded nothing but dull and plain. They made the right choice to feature Rihanna not Skylar grey.

Not at all. If it was Skylar who did the hook I think it would have been as big as a song like Space Bound.

1 abused boyfriend who's a rapper + 1 abused girlfriend who's a singer = a hit.
