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 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. I actually disagree a bit. She's singing moreso in her range now. A great comparison is "Unfaithful" to "Rehab". But I agree, she has one of the worse tones in mainstream music today.

Well, honestly, Urban and Rhythmic might let this make Top 10 BB territory... because Rhythmic and Urban have had identical music tastes this year....
Oh and yeah, I love the crap out of Rihanna, probably my favorite female artist right now... but she could of delivered better on this track

For me, Britney has a much better sounding voice than Rihanna. I couldn't care less if one can sing live and the other can't. With RiRi, it can be painful. I mean, have you heard that You Don't Love Me remake on her 1st album? Now that was SOMETHING

Rihanna's fanbase + Jay-z fanbase + kanye's fanbase = Impossible to not be number one.

^ I agree, this is going to be a hit!
According to Drake:
So what did Drake think of Hov’s new single? “I think Jay made a great choice,” he said. “I think the ‘Run This Town’ song is phenomenal. I think Kanye kills that shit. I actually heard that song when it was a Rihanna track.”

I don't know if I like this or not. Just from judging by the title, I thought it was going to be a sequel to "Live Your Life". The song could've been better. Didn't Rihanna sing like that on "Unfaithful"?

Wow, I must say that I didn't think it would be possible;e for me to dislike a song with Kanye and RiRi, but this is awful based on my initial impression. It lacks any hook as far as I can tell, and everyone sounds so bored on it.

I don't understand how Rihanna and Kanye West featuring on a Jay-Z track could put expectations up SO HIGH as I keep seeing "major let down" or "disappointment". I thought this song was gonna be VERY meh when I found out they were featuring on it.
Jay-Z's rap is garbage on this, not even close to the fire he brought on "D.O.A.", but this is HOT. Rihanna did great on the chorus.
If CHR managed to take "D.O.A." to the Top 40, this could very well be a Top 20 hit on Pop, or above. We already know this is gonna smash Rhythmic/Urban.
