R&B princess Rihanna has released a new single off her album entitled Good Girl Gone Bad. But the video for this single has not given RiRi the grand impact she was hoping for.
The video started out with the songstress in a melancholy and reflective mood, clad in black with gold accessories. Then there are a series of flashes following scenes of Rihanna and the 'supposed' boyfriend.
The first minute of the video basically sums up the entire video, as there are just back and forth flashes of actions and emotions between Rihanna and her ex-beau.
Other than Rihanna putting on a red jacket with matching lipstick and then driving on the road with the 'poor' guy following behind pleading for forgiveness, the highest point in the video is when she set his clothing afire right on the glass dining table.
Then guess what? When you think something is sure to happen, the video ends, and there is no 'to be continued sign', it just ends.
This is just another case of a good song overshadowed by a bad video. The scenes are dull and draggy, although RiRi does try to put forward some facial expressions depicting anger. However, sometimes it seemed as if the expressions were a bit awkward.
Also, the plot of the video does not present anything that we have not seen before. Try putting some of Beyonce's Irreplaceable with a little bit of Unfaithful, and Hate That I Love You together and what do you get: Take A Bow. TEENage only gives Rihanna a grade for effort:
