As she promised earlier, Rihanna premiered her new single Only Girl in the World on Ryan Seacrest's site this morning (Tuesday).
It's apparent that she's still trying to be bad, maybe even a little shocking in some circles, with the line "I want you to love me like I'm a hot guy" (read: she's talking to a girl, maybe? Are pop stars still playing the fauz lesbian card? It's getting frayed around the edges) Less apparent is whether the song will have any appeal. Riri is hit and miss. She has some VERY bad songs (Take a Bow, Rock Star) and she's not much of a singer (see here for a refresher) but she's got star power and when handed a good song like Umbrella or Disturbia (both of which have very few notes in them), she knocks it out of the park. I think this might be leaning closer to Rock Star than Disturbia, unfortunately. But who cares what I think. What do you think?
In other news, MTV reported today that her upcoming album will be called Loud.
Huh. Don't know how I feel about that either. Maybe a little uninspired, no?
Hear Only Girl in the World here.
** So, according to one commenter, the lyrics are not "I want you to love me like I'm a hot guy" but "I want you to love me like I'm a hot pie." !!! OH, that's much better, don't you think? I'm so glad we got that cleared up. This one time, in a movie called American Pie...
**By they way, that pic is not of Rihanna, but of her wax figure at Madame Tussaud's. You know who else has a wax figure?

Erm. This quote where who ever poorly wrote said "I want you to love me like I'm a hot guy" which "was" part of rhianna's new song. The lyrics acually is: "I want you to love me, like I'm a hot pie".
If im not mistaken, IF where i got the lyrics was right, then this whole article is just stupid. :)

"a hot pie", if that is the case, is equally as stupid. and that link to her singing that mariah carey song is so awful i couldn't even finish it.
