Default Rihanna - Good Girl, Gone Bad...
..Reloaded...

Excellent album, really enjoying it (except maybe the song with Maroon 5, which is a bit rubbish IMO).

Cracking pop song, after cracking pop song, and I don't care what any of you say

Very good indeed - except for "Take A Bow" and the Morron 5 thing. I dislike both of those.

I am very weary of "Don't Stop The Music" too - not one of the best.

At first I thought I found that funny. Then I realised I just needed to burp.

Hell yeah, and 'Rehab', and 'Umbrella', and....oh, I'll stop now!

And I quite like 'Take A Bow', even if it isn't in the same class as most of the others. Better than the Marrow 5 one though!

I can't abide the forced earnestness. An angsty ballad is a very hard thing to pull off and I think "Take A Bow" is a very, very lazy attempt. There are actually some clever and good lyrics going on in it, but the performance and production are totally distracting IMO.

Shame.

I love her upbeat stuff and the epic, anthemic "Umbrella" of course. Classic

I can't believe that awful hi-hat in "Don't Stop The Music" - ugh!

Yes. I "listen too hard".

Whereas I have mainly listened whilst cooking dinner or doing the cleaning! Plus as I am 'singing' along to it, I can hear nothing much but my own cacophony

Dave - are you actually hard when you're listening to her music, or do you need to be watching her videos too?
