The Wait is Ova. The official Rihanna thread.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Rihanna speaks for the first time about what happened with Chris Brown:

[GRACE]

I really wanna see that tomorrow, I gotta remember

[CoriKaru]

I was going to get up this morning to watch it, then I realized I had even fallen asleep yet to get up.

So I'll just catch it tomorrow at 10pm on ABC.

Chris Brown will be talking about it again as well on MTV this Saturday or next Saturday. One of these Saturday. Nothing that much different from Larry King. (I've seen blurbs)

I'm expecting a lot of "Like Whoa"'s, and a lot of Rhetorical Questions he proposes to himself that he can't answer. Meh.

[sora-kara]

it occurs to me that i have never heard rihanna speak until just watching that video now.
her slight accent is kinda strange, but endearing in a way.

Woah I thought the.exact.same.thing.

I'm a big fan of Rihanna but I've never actually seen her interviewed. Until now I didn't even know she had a slight accent and it felt very odd to me to hear her speak like that. I know she's from Barbados and all but still, never hearing that accent in her music I thought she had an American accent; and I too felt it was endearing.

It bothers me that there aer a lot of people who say that she's only doing this to promote her album

People are actually saying that ( ). That's upsetting but unavoidable I guess. Although the truth is the timing is strange, I don't think that's why she's doing it.

I don't think she's doing it ONLY to promote the album, but she will use the interview to input her album. Thus promoting the album. Her PR people would be stupid not to. I don't think people should look down on her for that. It is an event that happened to her and she has every right to talk about it and use it anyway she wants. I'm sure some of the tracks were influenced by it.

Look at Chris Brown. Releasing an album and using the event to promote the album. AND he's on the villain of the piece so he looks the worst out of the two to me. Even with his mommy sitting next to him.

I saw the interview last night, it was very revealing and heartbreaking. I'm glad she did it though.

Well, she would've been asked about this anyway during promo, so it's better to just get it out of the way.

[CoriKaru]

I saw the Interview. She said some things that had me going, "Ugh."

I felt bad when she got beat up, but beyond that and after seeing this interview, I really don't feel anything more for her. And the timing of this interview is no coincidence.

Rihanna isn't an Album seller, and they're trying to change that. Selling her Album and creating buzz for it is a part of this whole thing.

I went out last night and heard some people say how they had to turn the interview off, because they couldn't finish because Rihanna was just giving half truths. Leaving stuff out. And how she said that she's glad it happened to her for whatever reason. I must say, I felt like she gave the incident and the role she's playing now a little bit more importance than is warranted but meh.

And she wouldn't say she wouldn't go back with him "because she isn't god." You don't have to be god to know the answer to that. ('-')

I even heard jockies on the Radio saying how Rihanna is milking this. Saying she doesn't want to be the victim and then singing a song about suicide and how the whole thing was becoming rather off putting. People were calling and and texting in to the Radio rather perturbed as well.

I wouldn't have done the interview and honestly didn't see any reason to do so beyond hype.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

LEAVE RIHANNA ALOOOOONE!!

(lol) I had to! I did think some things were strange such as her saying she didn't know if she would ever go back with him and when she said that she was "glad it happened" to her, so she could help other girls. I was like WTF?

i think she mean "glad it happened" because she is glad it happened to her and she could see how ****** Chris Brown is?

Well, actually, like I said in the post you quoted, she said directly she was glad it happened to her so she could help other girls.

It's great that she wants to help other girls who are in the situation she faced, but I don't think that was the best way to express it.

totally get your point, but watch the interview in detail, her emotion mood is changing from stable to something bad while she talks about Chris Brown. We probably don't know how deep it affects her , and she doesn't know how to express it.

^Exactly. Rihanna is still young and not all that wise so yeah. Not really the person to go to for wisdom on this issue. Another reason I feel this whole situation was given more importance than deemed worthy. It's an important issue, but a 20/20 Rihanna Interview and a Larry King Chris Brown Interview? No. 20/20 did do amazing with the 18 to 34 demographic, which it says is its main demographic although it never does spectacular with those viewers.

Chris came out with a statement to MTV, and he's mad Rihanna came out with the details. He said it should have stayed a "private matter". ('-')

Yeah, like her raped face in that photo was private. She was the humiliated victim.......until she went back to him. Then she was just the fool in that moment. And let's not forget Chris went on Larry King AND did those other videos. So yeah........

I'm so glad Chris's concerts are failing and tickets aren't selling.

[Kaiouforever]

So when is her new album going to be released?

[GRACE]

It comes out on the 23rd

[keepsgettinbetter]

The album leaked! I'm downloading it right now.
