“You Da One” (2011): We started this list with the intention of naming one video for every year, but we couldn’t ignore the lovely clip for this Dr. Luke-produced single from the tail end of 2011. Despite the song’s somewhat understated tempo (and chart placing), the video’s black and white scenes of a a bewigged Rihanna covered in geometric shadows are images forever glued in the RiRi scrapbook of our hearts.
I usually whole heartedly agree with Idolator’s “top lists”, but not including “umbrella” on a list of rihanna’s best music videos is criminal. i mean, “shut up and drive” over “umbrella”? what were you thinking. I think the list needs an adjustment.
And how come You Da One is before Russian Roulette? That’s nonsense! You Da One is the worst of her videos!!! What about Man Down or What’s My Name…?? O.o
S&M is one of my favorites
