CNN – “Rihanna’s Racely Return”
object width=”425″ height=”344″>
It’s been eight months since R&B singer, Rihanna was attacked by her then boyfriend, singer, Chris Brown. Rihanna hasn’t said much about the attack and her reps also have stayed pretty mum. “She justs wants her life to return to normal” a family friend said.
It is clear that Rihanna does not want to see herself as a victim of domestic abuse. She sees herself strong, sexy, beautiful, talented. All of those things her record label wants her be. So it’s no surprise that Rihanna’s new album cover of her topless, in barbed wire has hit the Internet and media outlets everywhere has stirred a little buzz.
Rihanna’s new album, titled, “Rated R” seems appropiate, due in stores Nov. 23.
A lot of Rihanna’s fans are young girls and I wonder how they are going to react. Is this album cover good for Rihanna’s image or in poor taste?

Rihanna’s Rated R Is ‘So Great,’ Producer Says
When Rihanna released “Russian Roulette,” the lead single from Rated R on Tuesday, a lot of people were surprised that it wasn’t some empowering club banger.
And although reactions are mixed when it comes to the haunting song about an abusive relationship, Chuck Harmony, who produced it with Ne-Yo, insists that the track and the album are a reflection of Rihanna’s growth as an artist.
Harmony told MTV News that no matter how you feel about the track, the album will prove that Rihanna is the Madonna of her generation. “I sat through mix sessions and I heard some of the songs on the record. It fits in well,” he said of “Russian Roulette.”
The song is a bit darker than some of Rihanna’s past singles, but Harmony said that isn’t indicative of the rest of the album. “I think Rihanna has captured what her old fans are used to, as well as the growth of an artist. ‘Russian Roulette,’ to me, is a shining example of her growth and her artistic expression,” he said. ” ‘Russian Roulette’ is definitely taking her to another level. I think she’s a pop icon, so her music should reflect that.”
Harmony added that he still can’t believe his track was picked to kick off her comeback, because there was just too much great material to pick from. “I was actually shocked I got the first single ’cause the album is so great,” he said.
Although Harmony is one of Rihanna’s colleagues, he says he’s just as interested as anyone in how the singer is marketing herself, including the single’s provocative cover art. “It fits in with the song,” he said of the photo. “The way it’s unfolding is so genius. Like, ‘The wait is ova’ [message on her site]. I was waiting too. I wanted to see the cover, I wanted to hear the song. It’s one of those records where you just don’t know. It’s not a faith record. It’s one of those thought-provoking records.”

Tiffany Evans Blasts Rihanna As A Devil Worshiper
Singer Tiffany Evans (best known for her stint on Star Search & single Promise Ring ft Ciara) blasted Rihanna’s new single “Russian Roulette” earlier today via twitter. Peep her vent below:
Russian Roulette= Suicidal Rate gon sky rocket!
You gotta watch what u say. Because there are a lot of weak people in the world. They are susceptible to anything so anything you say or do some people actually do listen. So make sure its nothing bad. Its okay to be deep,but not murder deep.
Man! I really wish I could tell you guys what the industry really is and what stars are apart of destroying this world. The stars who worship satan,and those who have killed to get the respect they have now. You’d be verrrry surprise. Some of your favorite people pretend to worship God but they only do that to save face. Or seem innocent.
Satan was head of music in heaven. He uses influential people…to help influence the world. Think about that. Once u make a certain amount of money. Just know that that’s when they ask u to join. To get in you have accept the beast, worship. Once you join they assist u with ur career.make u huge.only if u agree and obey to destroy Gods word.and his children.Ppl listen and pay attention. Its a war going on right now between Good and Evil. Evil will rule this world for a min. The people that have this power are the people that RULE the whole world. I’m done I won’t say anymore before I get in trouble.
According to MM Highlights, Tiffany’s controversial tweets are centered around the “rumored corruption and brainwashing that goes on behind the scenes of the entertainment industry, often referred to as a group called the Illuminati“.
If you’ve never heard of the Illuminati before, it’s basically a group or organization of powerful people in the industry that brainwash audiences with hidden messages in songs, music video’s, political campaigns etc. Stars such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Matthew Knowles have all been accused of being involved, as have various politicians and actors.

GO FOR LYRICS
Take a breath, take it deep
calm yourself, he says to me
if you play, you play for keeps
take the gun, and count to three
I’m sweatin now, movin slow
no time to think, my turn to go.
[chorus]
And you can see my heart beating
you can see it through my chest
said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
so just pull the trigger
say a prayer, to yourself,
he says close your eyes,
sometimes it helps
and then I keep, a scary thought
that he’s here means he’s never lost
[chorus]
And you can see my heart beating
you can see it through my chest
said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
so just pull the trigger
As my life flashes before my eyes
I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise
so many won’t get the chance to say goodbye
but it’s too late to think of the value of my life
[chorus]
And you can see my heart beating noohoh
you can see it through my chest
said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving noooh
I know that I must pass this test
so just pull the trigger
And you can see my heart beating
you can see it through my chest
said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving nooo
I know that I must pass this test
so just pull the trigger….
