This is actually amazing!
It's really graphic also.
When she gets shot in the water!....
OMG!
It's simply a gorgeous video.

I love this new gritty Rihanna.
This is what's going to make her a long-term Icon.

It's not that I don't like Rihanna (but I'm not a big fan either) but I think something is wrong with her, something just doesn't match. There is always something I find awful or embarrassing about the girl, not necessarily the song tho (Russian Roulette is rather good).
Now, the video is kinda amateur, nothing new about it, she hasn't improved a lot to be honest. Yes, she has her own style but music wise, she's stuck in the mall.

Can't you see the progression from "Ponda Replay" and "Unfaithful" to her new stuff "Wait your turn(the wait is over)" and "Russian Roulette"?

Vocally wise, no. I see a makeover for sure (drastic hair, tatoos...) but as far as music is concerned, nothing to me screams awesome nor improvement.
Fair enough, she has potential, but compared to Lady Gaga who is rather new on the market but managed to improve her standards, Rihanna hasn't made any efforts.

She has progressed alot but theres something for me that never clicked, i like her stuff, but theres something missing

If you listen to the lyrics though, from the start of her career with 'Ponda Replay" and 'S.O.S" etc, she has really made a change.
Since ythe incident with Chris Brown, she's clearly writing about things now in a deep way.
Also, no other artist out there is mixing grit and rock with R N' B.
Not Beyonce. Certainly not gaga. No one in the mainstream r n' b world.

And has Gaga improved her standards?
Did I miss that?

She want from Puh, puh, puh Pokerface... mo mo mo mo.
To , Raw Raw, Raw-Raw-Raw-Rwaa, Maw Maw, Raw Raw Raw-Raw. GAGA U La La-a.
Is that progression?
Puh puh puh, to Raw Raw Raw?

Rihanna is one of the few artists lately who has shown true progression as an artist. Most (like Gaga) release new material similar to their previous, which proves they can't take risks because their known for one particular style. What I love about Rihanna is with each album she evolves. Rated R could have easily been a GGGB knock-off, but instead she comes back dark and releases a ballad as a first single (each of her previous first singles have been club bangers). This is what builds iconic status as an artist, when you continually shock people with what you're offering and tbh, I ever expected this route from Rihanna but I love it. She's truly upped her game and is taking names.

With Gaga though she's only had two albums as of yet to Rihanna's four. Remember Rihanna's first two albums were extremely similar it wasn't until the third album when she went into a more electro R'n'B style and then obviously a slight rock tinged sound for her fourth. From what I heard of Gaga's new songs there is a difference between her albums. The newer songs have a much darker edge to them.

Love the song!!
Omg is the video meant to be scary???

Arneldo · 15-11-2009, 05:44 PM

tbh I was too disturbed to find it "epic" or "amazing". She was shot. Not cool.

Ross · 15-11-2009, 05:46 PM

wtf.

Ninastar · 15-11-2009, 05:46 PM

Omg noo. is it like a horrible way of getting shot or do you hear a bang then she just like falls and dies?

Tom4784 · 15-11-2009, 05:46 PM

The video was quite good, I love the darkness of it all but I fear she'll go back to her old style with the next album as her fans just won't except an edgier Rihanna.
