To really dislike Rihanna

[Gemsy83]

And the image she brings with her?

not really, what about it offends you?

Her songs lately are just totally sexually orientated and crude imo. And thats the kind of stuff kids will hear and go round singing.

I don't like it either but it's symptomatic of the age we live in. Not all her fault.

Was a bit pissed off that "My Umbrella" was number one was DS was born. Or should I have said, "Top of the Hit Parade"

Has music ever been any different in the last 30 or 40 years??

hardly new tho,my era it was madonna getting all the heat for being to racey

Really ?
I like all her songs
loved Umbrella
love Whats my name
but my fave is Take A Bow, great breakup song

My 4 year old DD sings along to Rihanna. A bit worrying, but thankfully she hasn't asked me to explain the lyrics! I actually quite like Rihanna.

I hate that line in her new song "Sex in the air, I don't mind, I love the smell of it"

She is alright but the songs are all very sexual. I wouldn't be happy if my 11 year old was listening to her.

Yanbu, completely agree.

I don't think she's that bad but there will always be someone. Like ddubsgirl it was madonna when I was younger.

Sam Fox sang 'touch me touch me - I wanna feel your body' in 1986 - nothing changes - sex sells - I prefer Rihanna anyday!

I dislike her, of course i've never met her .. but surely following the whole Chris Brown assault case - which sent a clear message.. she shouldn't be advocating 'Pain as pleasure' via her S&M single.

Yes, i know it's 2 different aspects of violent behaviour, but i'm not a 14 year old kid...

*use to have that on 7" single..............

anyone see the n-dubs vid i love pussy?? now that was a bit

YANBU I think she's a bit of a wanker. Her reaction when she found out that Radio one had changed the name of her song from S&M to Come on was publically twattish. Why the fuck should a radio station play an unedited song all about hardcore sex? I'm no Mary Whitehouse but some things should be kept out of children's frames of reference, IMO.

I am glad I am not alone in disliking her. I have to switch the radio off any time one of her trashy songs come on. I don't want to listen to filth like that and certainly do not want my dds to. Sex may sell but must she allow herself to be manipulated by record company bosses (male I expect) like that. Tramp

remembers when relax got banned

I can't stand her although I will admitt that some of her songs are catchy. Hated Umbrella brella brella though.

I also don't think she's that hot. The red hair is just stupid looking and she looked like she was wearing a flowery sofa at one stage on the Brits.

I remember singing Madonna's songs when little.Looking back I think she was worse than Rihanna is.What is it with her cruch being on display all the time in her videos eww

i think most songs now can be fun of sexual things,kids most of the time dont get it,now we have 24hr music channels etc,madonnas justify my love vid was banned yet in todays terms,its mild!have seen worse than rihannas songs/videos.

I think her music is just cheesy, generic RnB and utterly shite. Her expressionless, flat face irritates me as well. Never liked any of her music.

I think chris browns music is loads better, sorry but I do, although i hope he has had some hard core therapy for his issues.

yes, another madonna fan here growing up

don't think Rihanna claims to be a role model for young girls, I don't let my dd watch any of her videos

I quite like her though, she seems to be a confident young woman

Have to say I am not that keen on her. I like some of her songs - the few that are not totally sexual.

Am no prude but some of her songs make me want to boak.
The one where she says are you big enough for me?? springs to mind as being my personal top hated one!!

My 12yo sang along to her latest one last Sunday night (cringe) when we were listening to the charts in the car. She then said her friend at school absolutely loves Rhianna - that Rhianna is her friends heroine, her friend idolises her and wants to be her Great aspirations for a 12yo not!!!!

Yanbu- she is EVERYWHERE, and seems to appear on every song on the radio.

Over exposed in EVERY sense of the word, imo.

One day, she will front adverts for Iceland.

[ok, I am old and jealous- she is tall, rich and thin- but her music is rubbish]

I don't mind Rhianna.
I don't want to be surrounded by child friendly songs all the time.

Maybe the problem is when the songs are being broadcasted.

i remember the Frankie record sleeve, some hand down the front of a bloke's underpants

frankie were bad and we all loved them at school
