THE OFFICIAL REMIX
RIHANNA FT CHRIS BROWN

:O

Callum · 21-02-2012, 01:03 AM

She'll never learn

Me. I Am Salman · 21-02-2012, 01:05 AM

Lemme have a few listens. I can't decide yet

Callum · 21-02-2012, 01:17 AM

As expected it's awful. Bad decision to release it as a single and I bet it won't do well. Shame on her for having Chris Brown on the track too, the lyrics are disgusting. "Remember how you hit it" in particular stands out.

Very ClASSy woman she is.

Me. I Am Salman · 21-02-2012, 01:19 AM

OK I gotta admit its not all that, and Chris Brown does it no favours.

bbfan1991 · 21-02-2012, 02:47 AM

Song is OK.

RE Rihanna she has obviously forgiven him for beating her up and it is her business despite what people think, although this may lead to a backlash for her but again it is her choice to be friends with him etc.

Some people will say she is setting a bad example etc when it is not her job to be a role model to kids and never intended to be one, although victims of domestic violence will have every right to be pissed off.

But bbfan1991, being a role model isn't a person's job. And by that I mean that role models are regular people who get that title attached to them without asking for it. Rihanna is a global superstar, and therefore someone who is looked up to by many people, whether she likes it or not. She lost her right to do whatever she likes the day she decided to try and become a famous singer. Whether she likes it or not, everything she does is scrutinised by the media and everything she does has consequences. Being the victim of domestic abuse, and going back to her abuser, gives off such a negative message to impressionable minds that I can't even begin to comprehend how she, or anyone she works with, could have let this happen. In fact, I am mostly just disappointed at the people who work around her. It's very common for victims of abuse to go back to their abusers because of that honeymoon period of "but they've changed!" Other people should have seen through that. Who actually gave this idea the green light?! They had better have one hell of a marketing strategy to try and change the minds of all the people who saw those photographs of that poor woman's beaten face into thinking that, hey, Chris Brown isn't actually all that bad a guy.

Oh, and, the song is ****. Utter ****ing ****. I am so angry at this entire situation, and also at myself for even being shocked that this happened. There just isn't a limit to how low the music industry will go, is there? I hope this is the end of Rihanna's spell of popularity around the world. She has done the single most stupid thing a woman in her position could have ever done. I don't care how much they try to portray it as "she's forgiving her abuser" - no, she's playing into his hands by giving him his career back. She's rewarding him for being a persevering little ****. **** you Chris Brown and **** you Rihanna for being used again.

Great post, agree with everything you've said.

I hope this is where the backlash of Rihanna begins and that the general public boycott her music. It's bad enough that she releases half arsed albums every year and has a new single out every other week but this is pushing it too far. This is such an idiotic decision on behalf of Rihanna and her management, this should never have been allowed to happen. Clearly she is surrounded by all the wrong people. She has a responsibility as a role model to a lot of young girls and she goes and does this. Just disgraceful.

A genius decision to have Chris on the remix from a commercial point of view, a bad one from a personal point of view.

It will probably do well, but she'll only have herself to blame if he does something else to her again

bbfan1991 · 21-02-2012, 04:20 AM

Good post Zee, you make points that are so true but Rihanna has made that choice and she has never been one to care what people think apart from her fans (which some of them will probably disagree with her on this) so...

Z · 21-02-2012, 04:21 AM

I don't even think it's a smart idea commercially. Any radio station that plays this will undoubtedly be accused of supporting domestic abuse in some way, and from what I can tell, fans of both of them are appalled by the collaboration and are boycotting them in their droves. Chris Brown fans hate Rihanna for ruining his reputation; Rihanna fans hate Chris Brown for doing what he did to her. The two of them are taking the piss out of their fans for doing this.

Niall · 21-02-2012, 07:59 AM

She'd such a stupid bitch for featuring Christ Brown. I cannot believe she actually went through with it. After reading the ****ing police report about the incident you'd think she might be apprehensive.

God I'd love to slap her right now.

Vladimir · 21-02-2012, 08:51 AM

OMG, I honestly feel like crying now. How did her label approved of this? Are they all ****ing insane, this is a career suicide.

Vladimir · 21-02-2012, 08:54 AM

As a huge fan I feel so betrayed and let down. Zee, I completely agree.

Glenn. · 21-02-2012, 09:24 AM

Hate the Birthday Cake Remix but Chris's Turn Up The Music remix with Rihanna is good.

Saph · 21-02-2012, 03:48 PM

She's asking for trouble

why cant a westside/eastside gang just shoot Chris Brown fgs

I'm not even going to bother listening to the remix of Birthday Cake. I feel sick enough just hearing about it.

Jords · 21-02-2012, 04:47 PM

Majorly disappointed. Sounds awful and the lyrics are terrible and quite frankly disgusting.
I didnt mind that she collab'd with Chris Brown as such, but not something like this. Jeez.

Ill stick with the 1 min version.

Marsh. · 21-02-2012, 06:13 PM

What a load of cack. I thought "rude boy can you get it up" etc was as disgusting as she could get. Obviously thought wrong. I don't see how something like this can be classed as music.
