Rum pum pum pum!!!!!

As a women, near enough every action you take is a double edged sword, and near enough everyone has their own opinion on whether you encourage or provoke certain behaviour...but really who are we to judge anyone but ourselves. Why do some people scream outright when a strong woman like Rihanna makes a video thats thought provoking and inspirational - I doubt very much, in fact I know shes not sending a message to women, or men, that if in one way or another you are abused to commit murder, she's merely telling "a" story, pushing the music boundaries, and instigating your brain into action to GET OUT if you are in that position too....Hell, theres probably a heap of other meanings behind it - but you or I are not Rihanna, or the director, the producer, or the editor, so why are you critising - is it because you don't understand?


Im pretty sure backaday artists from Bob Marley, Elvis to Prince were shunned for being too sexual or promoting "taboo" subjects, glorifying this and that, all that bull'ish - its expression all the less, and its liberating, if a sculpter created a piece about rape it would be praised and probably awarded - but when an artist does it, because you don't like their music or understand it - its "sending the wrong message" - Open your mind and maybe you'll see the right message.


When you think about it, if you havent been scrutinised for your actions, you havent really made it? Most the biggest stars have, and lets face it sexuality is out there on the cards nowadays so all Rihanna's doing is showing you the depths behind the doors that not many have sang successfully before...




I love this video more than any other I've seen in a long time....and on a less serious angle, most artists do videos in the caribbean and look like they "bought" people into the video...Rihanna looks like she's still part of the scene....The videography is amazing....and she looks ridiculously good!
