Good song but didnt too much like the video.

Not bad at all, but nothing to write home about.
Whooooo Rihanna sounds horrible!
Go T.I.!!!!!
it doesnt even go wtith the song what the hell
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
. . .that was really bad
My dog howls when he hears Rihanna sing. LOL!
It’s fine. I think TI drowns Rihanna out, but maybe that was intentional.
WHAT A TURN OFF!
RIHANNA LOOKS LIKE A TRANNY!
Good…
but Rhihanna is seriously losing her looks for some reason…
this song is SO DAMN CATCHY!
‘mye a hee. mye a ha. mye a who. mye a ha ha’
luvs it!
That sucked ass.
It’s not quite….right. Something is off.
Nice, but her hair needs to be longer. If her hair was longer she’d look prettier.
God help me but I LOVE this song!
Rihanna is not at all pretty and tries way too hard.
She also can’t sing.
OMG!!!! LOOK at that big-boned TRANSVESTITE trying to look SEXY and SING!
RiRi can’t sing and dance very well. she should model.
Love The Song
Love The Video
LOVEE T.I
:D:D:D:D:D
How many hit singles does she have??
She shouldn’t even have one!
The beat of the song is good, but Rihanna just does not have a strong enough voice to pull it off. T.I. is great though so it all works out in the end.
guys,
you keep saying that nobody can sing here, like:
Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens, Hilary Duff etc.. most of you say they can’t sing, ok.. BUT please, i wanna know who do you think can really sing.. ‘cuz you’re always complaining about almost every singer here..
i’ll be waiting for your answers!
Tthank you Rihanna for destroying a great song.
NAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Rihanna’s obviously lip syncing. Does she ever sing live or is it all tracking?
wow…he had to get his ass kicked that’s just umm…yeah. the song is pretty good. Video makes no sense. With the song.
# 24 - The ones you listed are not really singers. They’re prettily packaged media creations. Imho, Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin are singers!
Is that a girl in the video? It looks like a drag queen to me.
why sample NUMA NUMA!!!!!!!!!! why on earth! on the positive side…her voice does match maaaa huuu ma hiii maa hahaaaa!
UGH! Rihanna is the most non-singing black woman i’ve ever heard!!!
I really like Rihanna, well her looks personally, but I don’t think she could sing at all. I love T.I but they should have used some one else to sing this with him.
SHE STOLED THE SONG FROM A ROMANIAN BAND CALLED O-ZONE . U CAN CECK ON YOUTUBE O-ZONE “DRAGOSTEA DIN TEI”
The gutter looking place that T.I. is walking through looks EXACTLY like the place in the movie GREASE when they had the race between john travolta and the “mean guy”..im pretty sure it was shot at the same location
“DRAGOSTEA IN TEI ” SONG IS SOOO MUCH BETTER THEN RIHANNAS SONG , IT WAS AN EUROPEAN HIT 5 YEARS AGO
Way to kill the song Rihanna!
WATCH THIS PLEASE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfiVc0X9Ewc
FOR U HATERS… IF RIHANNA CANT SING… pls pls tell me why her songs are always a big hit? tell me… stupid people

the song starts like a romanian song,it`s the same my-a hee,my-a haa
the video doesn’t go with the song
imho - totally agree with you!
i dont get it… werid but the song is emense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s just ok nothing to write home about, cause you know if Rihanna had this to do live she could not that’s where my problem comes with this girl she is a studio artist and nothing else.
They pimp her in everything she does, she dont have the talent but she makes a draw in which everyone else is getting paid except for her.
She has let her cuteness go to her head, instead of trying to get on every bodies stick she should be in somebodies studio learning how to sing…
The begining, the middle and the end of the song (where Rihanna sang ‘mye a hee. mye a ha. mye a who. mye a ha ha’) is just a copy of a moldavian group song! Here is the proof:

O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei
This song was released WAY before Rihanna and T.I’s version ‘Live your life’.
The storyline is all over the place…
I love this song it’s the best!!!!!!! Especially with T.I. in it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love T.I. and any song he sings. ‘You can have whatever you like yeahhhh’.
rihanna, go sleep a little bit, please.
the song is alright, but where is originality? this songs sample is more than 5 years old…. and the video is crappy
sorry
This is a f*cking T.I VIDEO ft Rihanna. Why is it that Jared is only mentioning Rihanna?
F*cking messed-up publicity sh*t!
I really like this song! However, her solo made my ears bleed! F*cking crying goat she is!
TO STUPID NOKIA (#39)
Britney Spears can’t sing…AT ALL (though I love her:))!

Rihanna rocks
Haters Im sorry but she can sing!
and it bothers you all ;P
Go rihanna you made an effort to be on the place you are so YOU DESERVE IT
GO RIHANNA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People just don’t get the girl. I haven’t seen the video but this song rocks. Rihanna has a unique voice. One that when she sings you can hear the bajan accent in it which gives her that island flavor. what I love about her is she does not forget her roots and the music that she grew up arounf because you can always get that island flavor on her albums.
She may not have that strong Christina Aguilera or Alica Keys voice but it doesn’t change the fact that that girl can sing. she may not be able to dance around all over a stage like Beyonce or Ciara but she doesn’t need to do that either.
Everyone has a different style and flavor and you only get better with time. I would take that over the crap Beyonce is singing about dancing like a fool in that Single ladies video.
**** all u people talking **** bout this song this song is bad ass hell and so is the video and rihanna is bad ass hell like T.I. she didnt get this famous from sucking she got it becuse her songs are bad ass hell so **** off
sZH
To the people saying they copied a song. It’s called a SAMPLE. Where the artist, T.I., in this case, pays the original artist to use part of their song in his song. It’s perfectly legal… you all are idiots.
In regards to Rihanna. I didn’t really like her until I saw her at the Glow in the Dark tour… her performance was either going to make or break it for me. And guess what… now I love Rihanna. She was amazing, and the only time her singing got a little shaky was during “Unfaithful” which is understandable because she shouldn’t have been singing that in the first place. She even covered “Paper Planes” and “Doo Wop (That Thing)”. Rihanna is a talented performer, if you don’t believe she is anything else. That’s why she’s on your TV, radio, and magazine covers and all you haters… will never be. She’s gettin that pay-pah, and you aren’t.
A Second Opinion: Rihanna
By Joseph Neese
As an entertainment editor, I think part of me died this afternoon when I discovered that Rihanna now has the most No. 1 songs of the decade. Admittedly not the best metaphor, but I would describe Rihanna as the terrorist of the music world. She’s the perfect example of how profit-oriented the industry has become, choosing looks over talent in every instance. Jay-Z, who is the president of Def Jam Records under which Rihanna is signed, is married to Beyoncé, so he knows a thing or two about what a talented vocalist sounds like. But in the case of Rihanna, it’s as if he decided to sign the prettiest girl that he could find in an effort to use sex to generate as large a profit for his record label as possible. In comes Rihanna (who, while she does have a fantastic pair of legs, is not the Amazon beauty that people claim her to be), assaulting the music scene, given the best songs available.
All this for someone with the vocal talent of a 10-year-old girl playing Annie in your local community theater production - or perhaps less if you take “Unfaithful,” into account, which is perhaps the prime of example of how lackluster Rihanna’s pipes are. While high production can gloss over vocals more easily in an up-tempo song, it can only go so far when it comes to a ballad. Listening to Rihanna sing the slow song makes me think of a dog wailing in pain. She clearly has no vocal talent, squeezing out all of her notes. But most alarmingly, she has such an intense nasality that makes her tone breathy and immature for a woman of her age. So, she can’t pull off any adult lyrical content. (Why that wasn’t corrected by one of her producers, I have no clue. I doubt they care as long as she earns them money.)
Interestingly enough, however, up-tempo songs, like most of Rihanna’s hit records, contain vocals that are more difficult to execute than in ballads. This is why watching Rihanna live is a more painful experience than listening to her studio-recorded songs. I dare you to try to watch her Live Earth set from summer 2007 … if you can make it through it. It’s pretty bad when all your backup singers sing better than you. Watching Rihanna perform live is sort of like a painful audition on American Idol. You can’t really help but laugh, and you would be stupid to spend money on it. Read reviews of the Kanye tour from this summer - all the critics agree. As for her dancing, so-so.
I’m not going to deny that some of Rihanna’s songs are excellent. “Umbrella” more than deserved its Grammy nominations for song of the year. But, as I was reminded last weekend when I went to New York, there are thousands of people who have double Rihanna’s talent and can’t make an industry executive even notice them. So why not go back to how things used to be, when music was a sacred art form and the best singers got the best songs - not those who look best half-naked.
So you all think Rihanna is ugly and can’t sing just because she has short hair and takes risks. It’s stupid to be so close-minded because someone has the guts to do something different. I like Rihanna…she doesn’t have the strongest voice and I preferred the first version of her haircut in Umbrella, but I still respect her and listen to her music because she doesn’t give a damn what I think or what the rest of you think. That’s hard to find in a person and even harder to find in the music business.

T.G.K
What risks does this girl take? It’s the same old hooker clothes again and again. Same old weak voice.
If she wanted to be risky, she’d invest in some singing lessons and get a decent & creative stylist instead of relying on cheap gimmicks and trashy fashion to compensate for her lack of talent.
She’s almost as bad as that fat blond on The Real Housewives of Atlanta who thinks her sugar daddy is going to make her a country singer. Almost…
THE SONG IS SO HOT BUT THE VIDEO IS ****

For all those who said “the video doesnt match the song”-
wow your dumb
the video shows how he gets into being a thug, and how he gets out. h’s saying you have to live your life the way it goes, and get yourself out of the trouble you get yourself in. the video shows what he did. he got in by offering up money, and a demo-cd for them to hear. now he’s made it big and obviously theyd want him around, so he buys his way back out…
