Rihanna Tries Out For Victoria's Secret Modeling Gig

@GovernmentNames: Yeah, but it's a good formula, and I must say, for a guy with only, like, three tricks up his sleeve, Ne-Yo's ability to mix and match those tricks into numerous engaging permutations continues to mildly impress me. (The producer-writers of the '60s - Holland-Dozier-Holland, the Corporation, Mann-Weill - pulled the same tricks all the time.) Ne-Yo/Stargate's switch from the warm electric-piano sound of "So Sick" and "Because of You" to the guitar-filigree bit here is a more-than-decent change-up.

Still, I'm glad that Rihanna got rid of that hair helmet she had in her last couple videos so that I can find her attractive again.

I don't know how this song can sound like anything but white noise once you've heard any of Ne-Yo/Stargate's previous hits. We've been force-fed this formula so many times in the past 2 years that I'm choking on it.

Wow! What a twist! I totally was not expecting to see that R. Kelly was "trapped in the closet" the whole time Rihanna and Ne-Yo were gettin' it on!
