Awesome hook by Rihanna. I hope this is a hit! I'll be pissed if they repress this until 9/11

SMASH. Heard this on the radio today and I was immediately hooked. JayZ's verses weren't that good though, is it just me or has he lost the flow he once had as a rapper? Riri and Ye killed it though!

Doesn't amount to the sum of its parts, but it's alright.

Yawn. This is the best he could come up with? With Rihanna and Kanye on the track? Disappointing.

Eh. It's kind of boring, I was expecting more. I'm sure it will go Top 40 at least.

I love how the same people who bash Rihanna for her vocals worship Britney Spears. The irony is almost painful.

I'm sorry Rihanna's tone in this is horrible, trying to deflect away from that by listing other singers isn't going to change that. Cute, you can't actually make a post of substance so you are attacking my most played artist. That only makes your attempt at a response just plain sad, if not on the side of pathetic.

Garbage. Rihanna still sounds like a dying cat. I agree, she sounds a mess on this track. And do not get me started with that end run. UGH! And its a bit jarring cause I haven't heard anything from her since Live Your life and that wasn't so bad vocally but here she sound a hot whining mess.

I'd say it's pretty substantial. You're constantly offering up praise to Britney, who is easily the worst pop female vocalist of the last ten years, yet you constantly bash Rihanna for her vocal chops among a laundry list of other qualities. This song is underwhelming, but that doesn't make you any less of a hypocrite.

This song has Rihanna on it correct? So she has the right to be critiqued, it doesn't matter if it's coming from a Britney fan or a Whitney Houston fan. Ol girl does not sound correct on THIS particular track to some people.

This song is underwhelming, but that doesn't make you any less of a hypocrite. I'm not going to talk about Britney here as this isn't her thread and thus it doesn't need to be discussed here. Talking about Britney here isn't relevant as it doesn't change the fact that Rihanna still will sound bad on this track. As to me "bashing" Rihanna's "vocal chops" I will do so when needed as with any primary vocalist who sings in a song and the action is warranted here regardless of if you like it or not.

Ol girl does not sound correct on THIS particular track to some people. This is pretty much it, I've thought that she has sounded "misplaced" many times in her recordings and she sounds the same here. I think vocally she sounded more at home in her "Music Of The Sun" and "A Girl Like Me" days where as now she sounds very strung out and as if she is singing out side of her range, most of the time.
