New Video : Rihanna - Umbrella

Posted on April 28, 2007

Okay. I first heard this song about a month ago… didn’t get past the first 30 seconds of it. Rihanna is a beautiful girl, but um, to put it nicely… not as beautiful a singer. Still, I try to give her the benefit of the doubt… kind of hard to do after she ruined Unfaithful for me. Yeah, I know it was her song, but she messed it up.

Back to the topic at hand. Maybe I’ve softened up my ways in my old age. Maybe having a video made the song better for me. But now, I can’t stop singing “ella-ella-aye-aye-aye”. It’s a standard video with elements of hotness (naked silver paint, anyone?), but I like it.

Here’s the video:

Just an aside… does the ballet scene kind of remind you of Beyonce’s Green Light? Just saying… (let’s add some fuel to the Beyonce vs Rihanna fight!)
