Biggest bullet outside the top 20. Maybe this isn't dead on arrival, but there needs to be a way to put some momentum into it. It's a shame the video wasn't launched originally through YouTube as I think it would've been exactly what was needed.

Isn't SNL pre-recorded? SNL stands for Saturday Night LIVE. I'm assuming you don't know much about the show? I haven't listened to this song outside the first time it leaked or whatever. Too fixated on my favorite song of the year, BBHMM. This song doesn't seem to go anywhere but I am still excited for the rest of the album based on the first two singles at least. I don't think I have ever had a Rihanna album where I have loved every song anyway. Rated R came closest but even that had a non-event or two.

Radio updates are promising but that iTunes position stinks. If it doesn't explode soon on the digital department then it won't be long before radio stations start dropping it.

But there have been instances where certain performances and skits were recorded ahead of time (usually during the final rehearsal session) because of scheduling conflicts. Most ARE live though. And yes, I am very familiar with SNL in more ways than one. :)

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite singles from her...ever. The message is powerful and poignant especially at a time like this. The video is very cliche but it makes a point. I'm hoping this can be a top 5 hit or at the very least a sleeper hit.

This song is really powerful and it could not come at a better time in Rihanna's career considering all of the tensions in the United States right now. I'm really happy with the direction this album seems to be going even though that is not the most popular opinion here. Her club jams are great, but she seems very inspired in her singles so far.

I am glad she is doing what she wants and is not listening to the incredibly loud and annoying vocal minority.

She's 3/3 for me this era. I didn't care for this at first but it's grown on me significantly and I love it now. I love the video. I can't wait for the album.

Radio updates are expected, and i wouldn't worry about itunes till this get a higher position on pop and other formats. If after climbing on airplay it doesn't get a positive effect on itunes, then there'll be time to worry but till now it's doing ok.

I decided to give this song another chance. It's not terrible, if it came on I wouldn't turn it off, but I wouldn't turn it on by myself. A billion times better than BBHMM.
