@maison is she wearin bikini bottoms?

I'm the biggest Rihanna Stan but this is not appealling" she looks like a damn PORNO SLUT!!! What about the kids Rihanna what about the kids!!!

She's wearing a one peice, but the bottom hald is ridiculously narrow, all we see is ass.

Why is anyone acting like this is a big deal? She was butt naked in the Umbrella video and hardly anyone blinked an eye.

She's wearing a one peice, but the bottom half is ridiculously narrow, all we see is ass.

SHUT UP!!!!

IS THIS REALLY THE COVER?

ooooooooooooooooooooh riri .lol

but yeah id prefer this 4 a photoshot rather than the cd cover.

its nice though,she looks HOTT

she is hot!!!! on fire but i dont want that to hide the fact that she is so fucking talented!!!!1 this may be it guys the biggest record of her life!!!!

it is the most anticipated of the year

it is in the top 10on itunes already

she is everywhere and every12 is talking about her

BUT THAN U WILL GET PEOPLE QUESTIONING HER TALENT BECAUSE OF PICTURES LIKE THIS

I KNOW ITS A BIKNI AND WAT NOT BUT DISSAPOINTED THAT PEOPLE WILL DECREDIT HER FOR HER GOOD MUSIC

I DUNNO MAYBE ITS JUST ME..

MAYBE OR YOUNG RIHANNA IS NOT THAT YOUNG ANYMORE AND IS MORE EDGY THAN EVER.

4 HARD ,she shouldve had on some BRASS-KNUCKLES AND A HOODY ON or something "HARD" looking

does she have a censored version or a female version this is geared at men.

WOW WHY ARE YOU ALL SO VOCAL ABOUT HE STYLE, CALLING HER SLUTS AND WHAT NOT WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY HATERS WHO VISIT THIS SITE AND USE WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT RIHANNA ON OTHER BLOGS? SMDH….I AM SICK OF ALL THE CRITICISM

cumon it the song hard rihanna not hardcore

@LAWGIRL,how can you be SICK OF THE CRITICISM when the author of the pic SPECIFICALLY ASKED US "WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS"? about the picture?

YOURL KNOW ME!!!1 I AM NO HATER…. IM A FAN OF RIHANNAS MUSIC!!!! SHE MY AL TYM FAVOURATE ARTIST…BUT I WANT HER TALENT TO SHINE YOURL KNOW THAT

Yupp the blogs are gonna go insane.."why is she half dressed" blah blah blah…but I honestly like it. I have no problem with skin, she looks sexy. But I guess a more "harder" look would've fit the song.

The song was released to radio today right?

@shermoon,YOU DONT EVEN HAVE 2 EXPLAIN YOURSELF.

only and IDIOT CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM (which EVERYONE ON HERE SO FAR HAS GIVEN) and someone being a "HATER"

honestly i am a crzy fan of rihanna but i dont like that photo i think she dont deserve to everyone see her like that but still love u gurl u are my num 1

umm the album is called Rated R for a reason…

THIS MAY NOT GET POSTED AS MY OTHER COMMENT ABOUT THIS ARTIST, SHE HAVE U ALL FOOLED, MONEU, MEDIA WHORE ALL ATTENTION, HOW COULD THIS GET WOMAN OF THE YEAR WITH THE LIKES OF MICHELLE OBAMA IN THE SAME CATEGORY. I WAS PROUD OF HER WHEN SHE FIRST CAME OUT, I'M FROM THE ISLAND, U WOULD HAVE THOUGHT SHE WAS MY SISTER, FAMILY ETC, THAT'S HOW PROUD I WAS, BUT SHE'S NOT A ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG GIRLS OR DV WOMEN, THIS ALL FOR THE SALE OF A CD.THERE ARE MANY OF TALENTED FEMALES THAT LAST IN THE BUSINESS, NOT BECAUSE THEY SHOW THEIR VAJAJA, N ASS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

Take it easy Rihanna….

the album is called Rated R for a reason…

Again I say ya'll are being way overdramatic. Her nudity in "Umbrella" was way worse, especially considering she was only 19. I don't see the big deal at all at this point. It seems like people are freaking out over everything she does now. Reminds me of Britney and Christina. Who cares what the blogs say? More promo for Rihanna.

i like it

Wait a fucking minute here!!! Slut!!! What is this a convent or RD!!!! If you don't like

it kick rocks!! This is America, I'm sorry if your puritan eyes can't look at a sexy girl

wearing a fucking bikini. If not, fuck off!!!! I'm tired of you critical ass folks on RD, with

your snide ass comments; enough!!!!! Are you fans or not!!!! Do you see her tits??

No!!!! Do you see anything obscene??? No!!! So shut the fuck up!!!!

I LOVE IT! WISH THAT WAS THE ALBUM COVER!

If you don't like Rihanna then why come to her fan site? Is it because you can't stop thinking about her so you have to track her every move? Jealous much?

i just dont want her to go down the whole black and white route it's so lame. leave that to sasha. rihanna you are too fierce to follow the crowd!

PEOPLE REJUVENATE YOUR MINDS, AND LEAR THAT THIS IS A ARTIST , RIRI IS SHOWING HER CREATIVE, ARTISTIC, FLAIR FOR HIGH FASHION STYLES AND DESIGNS. STOP BEING CLOSED MINDED AND LOOKING AT EVERYTHING LIKE SHES OVER EXPOSED THIS IS WHAT AR IS ALL ABOUT AND IF YOU GO TO THE MUSEUMS AND LOOK AT THE PHOTOS THATS ON THE WALL RIRI IS RIGHT IN LINE WITH WHAT THE TOP MUSEUMS IN THE WORLD SHOWS AND ITS IN A VERY TASTEFUL WAY..

Wow it's just a single cover lol…it's a swimsuit and really I can think of two other artists who shall not be mentioned by name that wear leotards ALL THE TIME…one of them even wears them walking down the street. But like I said the blogs will go in on her just because she's Rihanna. Poor girl can't catch a break.

it does look hot

but it is 2 much!!

she has fans which are 11 or 12!!

she can't be a role-model for them!!!

And I'm tired of yall making excuses to WHAT THE HATERS GONNA THINK!!!! The

haters are gonna hate regardless!!!! FUCK EM!!!! Let rihanna live HER LIFE, NOT

YOURS!!!! She a 21 year old young woman, she 's not sister catherine, and all these

women wear bikini's, what the hell is this.???? Damn, same people praising Bey are

the same ones who talk trash!!!!

I like Rihanna's butt it's SEXY in a CUTE way!!! <3

LOVE this cover!!!!!!

MAISON I LOVE YOU….U KEEPS IT 100

@ 48- maison martin margiela …yup,that's right!!!

IN THESE LATEST PICTURES AND ALBUM AND SINGLES COVERS RIRI HAS LEFT HER INHIBITONS BEHIND, IN THESE MESMERIZING CREATIONS SO BOLD, SO DRAMATIC, AND THE PICTURES WILL HOLD YOU SPELL BOUND THE DESIGNS AND HER LOOK ARE CATCHY AND ABOVE ALL OF THE REST , AND IN ALL OF THE LATEST CUTS, DESIGNS AND LOOKS THAT THEY HAVE CREATED WITH RIRI IS A CLEAR STEP TOWARD HER BOLD NEW TAKE CONTROL MOVE TOWARD HER NEW TAKE CONTROL MOVE. ..

Parents control they're 11 and 12 year old kids, not a pop singer!!! If you expect an

entertainer to raise your kids, your and idiot. Rihanna looks great. Her body is on

point, but she's not gonna raise your fucking kids for you lazy ass parents!!!! You see

girls at the beach like this AAAAAllLLLLLLLLL the time !!!! What the hell is this

Sunday School!!!!

The album aint called "Rated R" 4 no reason!! i love it a lot!! whats wrong with one single cover of hers lookin a lil' perogative?! gosh… she has the integrity to know what she is doin'!! .

@maison, lmao, ur so right! good point…

@KaKa You're just a dummy!!! She looks like a young girl wearing a freaking bikini.

No explicit shots at all!!! Stop talking shit!!! If she had her tits out, I would be the first

to object, but you and a few others sound so damn dumb!!

REMEMBER ALL THAT THE ALBUM IS RATED R AND IS FOR THE GROWN UP AND SEXY. AND THERES NO DIFFERENT FROM HER TAKING THIS KIND OF PICTURE FOR A SINGLES COVER IS THERE IS FOR THE YOUNG ONES TO SEE SOME OF THESE VIDEOS WHERE THEY ARE HUMPING AND BUMPING AND HALF DRESSED AND NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THIS SEX THATS ON TELEVISION RIGHT NOW. AND WHEN THE CHILDREN LOOK AT ALL OF THES VAMPIRE MOVIES WHERE THEY ARE SUCKING EACH OTHERS BLOOD WHAT IS THE DIRRERENT. SHE IS NOT GOING TO GO TO FAR RIRI HAS GOT CONTROL MAGNETS IN PLACE AND SHES KNOWS VERY WELL WHERE THE CUT OFF LINE IS TRUST ME..

They going to tear her another one for this. She is daring them and she going get burn. Yep she is mad.

WOW. AMAZING: so gorgeus. she's a baaad biitch!!!

@ MAISON HOW ARE YOU IF YOU GET A CHANCE EASE OVER TO MTAKE OUT AND READ THE HEADER IT STARTED YESTERDAY WHEN THE FIRST PICTURES WAS SHOWN AND NOW THERES MORE ABOUT SOME OF THE BIG PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY , HUH JUST WONDER WHAT IS GOING ON I GUESS WE WILL HEAR MORE LATER ON ..

@ 33 – Kat..yup,i agree…

…and besides ,there're so many artists that shows up like that in campaigns,magazines,and everybody says "oh,she looked so great in that pic photographed by this awesome photographer,blah,blah…"…..why with Rihanna have to be a bad thing,or a slut thing???….c'mon…

..i respect others opinion…but i personally liked though….the girl looks hot on it and with the body that i'm sure will make a bunch of women run to the gym after looking to it!!!!!

If she goes on like this on the next single cover will have one of her naked pictures which leaked….she appears on TV saying that she now knows what a big influence she has on this young girls….so she tells to girls indiretly to get as naked as you can ,to show your nipples in public….

Don't get me wrong, i love her music ans she's an inspiration for me but she can't continue like this…she's following the Madonna Path…It's her life and body but it would be pitty to damage her carrer like this with so much gossip….

Remember RD, their is no sign in process so some of these people could be using

other peoples names. Be vigilant. And stop being so fast to criticize her. She's going

through a rough faze, and some of you jerks sound worse than haters.

She looks amazing. Has any noticed that Rihanna has been nominated twice for the 2009 peoples choice in Collaboration catagory. Go Rihanna

sexy!

jejeje…

hehehe…

☺☺☺

Ok i'm not liking this.I want the old rihanna back,she used to be so sweet and shy. Lately she's taking this whole fierceness to another level.regardless i still think she's a beautiful girl!!!You don't have to be nude to be sexy!!it's all about attitude,please rihanna leave things to the imagination.

theres some bikinis that is waaaay more revealing than this bathing suit number, , this is stylish and beautifully haute. riri go on and invigorate their minds., this is natural and dazzling so go on and take a second look are second glance either way riri is definitely a ravishing lady in this designer style..

Go hard or go home! Haters are mad? Stay mad but somewhere else. Stay off of RD if you don't like Rihanna since this is a FAN site.

all of the young children girls/boys are watching these scary movies on television , trust riri knows what she is doing and if she have to go to the hospital to visit one of the very young thats ill whe will defitinely be dressed for the occasion . and making the finishing up of her new album shes doing the finishing up part and she is within the guide lines of where she wants and needs to be trust..

@Disturbia Well, she's going to be a role model HER way NOT YOUR WAY!!! And if

you loved her so much, you sure ass hell are ouick with the critcism. She is a 21

YEAR OLD GIRL!!! YOU GET IT!!!! She not gonna raise your kids, or cure cancer, or

get world peace. She's a musician, she makes music. Parents parent. They raise

there kids to be good individuals. Not entertainers!!! Stop playing the she supposed

to be this and that cause she spoke about DV. Thats hater talk. So is CB, Bey, Alicia

all them supposed to do it too. Let rihanna be great!!!!

@Kat

Poor girl could catch a break if she wanted to but she does not. Ri is angry at the very same blogs that have been hatting on her for the the last four years for nothing.

she is merely giving them a litgitimate cause to hate.

I like it it does look like a swim suit but the pic is deliberately done to appear bottomless.

lovvvvee it

@Lu it's really unfair and contradictory, but whatever haters are always gonna hate

Ummmm how about we channel all this energy into requesting Hard and Russian Roulette on the radio lol..

Funny all these mother fuckers care about the kids all of a sudden. Now its all about

the kids now that riri has spoken out. Bullshit!!! Its just another way the haters are

trying to get at this girl!! Where were you when these rappers was trying to fuck every

girl in the world!!! Or kill everybody and sell drugs with they music. Now, all of a

sudden its for the kids?? Thats so laughable!!!

LIKE RIHANNA SAYS SHE DON'T CARE WHAT THE HATERS SAY. SHE IS GONNA KEEP DOING HER.

LOL @ CONCRETELOOP BLOCKED ME FOR SUPPORTING RIHANNA. I WON'T STOP.

O.M.G!!. I can just imagine Rih wearing a virgin maryISH costume for the cover of Hard, nah ah! that aint gonna happen!!..

@Demmi sorry, but not true. Like I said other artists wear the exact same thing she has on and grind on stage, etc. etc. but when they do it it's art, it's epic, blah blah blah. But when Rihanna does it, it's "she's a slut", she's this, she's that. In that regards she can't catch a break. People will contradict theirselves and their opinions just to hate her.

What haters and some fans fail to realize is that Rihanna is going to do what Rihanna wants to do. It's as simple as that. The album cover doesn't bother me one bit because I'm a fan of Rih for the music and fashion.

Lawgirl, ur from s.a right?….

Is she selling porn or music?? Not a good look 4 her

Demmi is not a real fan she was mad that Rihanna put Chris Brown on blast.

OMG sexy!!!!HOT!!!!

NO…MIA

Demmi you are fake as hell I read your comment on the forum

This girl has been helping young girls in 2006 when she was 18 years old. She has

helping countless girls, under the rader just to do good. She didn't want credit, just to

help. What have you critics done. She's saved two girls lives this years by getting

them a bone marrow transplat, what have you critics given!! She spoke out on DV,

withpeople talking shit all over, when have you spoken out?? I'm not trying to say

don't demand high standards, but some of this knee jerk nreaction from fans is

nonsense!!! You should better. I expect the haters to be ignorant, but you as fans;

and REGULARS on RD should know better. How dare you be so fucking flip, when

you know what she's been doing to make life better all this time??!!

u look mad pertyy i luv it nd am happy 4 u to come back and do wat u want to do now it ur life now i luv da piczz

Oh!? lol! sowwi.

@D!sturbia

You have been mad since Rihanna interview you are a CB stan

I can not stand when I get on YBF or Concreteloop seeing the same ppl with the same avatar insulting Rihanna, not giving constructive criticism, but literally insulting her and then getting on here and posing as a fan.

Lindsay Lohan's Crack Pipe you're good, I see u always defending Rihanna…but some of you? As the saying goes "real recognizes real..and you don't look familar."

LOL @chick.

I'm not touching that one.

She has a beautiful body you got it fault it.

well I think she looks hawt!

She looks sexy; but way too sexy….just goes to tell yall out there how we buy peoples nakedness and claim its real music…look at how many artists out there that do not make it because of people who sexy craze the market….Im sorry but it just aint fair……

@Kat

Yep, you know this. There's a big time poseur posting here.

How do u mean SHE GOT THE HOTNESS!

HOT HOT HOT!! work it rihanna! loving the fierce-ness & sexiness.

There are so many fake people on this site leave or i will call u out.

What's up with all the Single covers being hotter the the album cover makes no sense…i really hope that black and gray shot was just a joke.

WHOA MOMMA!

And take in mind people… the album is called RATED R for a reason. O_o Some people seem to think because she still has a young fan base that she still needs to act as if she's 17. Hell naw. Riri is grown. SMH.

O.M.G!! Darylmackog, get off RD!! HATER!! mxm!!. how can this possibly be porn? wtf? i dont see any tits or fanny!! plz just leave! i dont have any patience 4 fake ass fans like u!!…

I would prefer she would have more clothes on. I know she is sexy and she should be proud of it but in my opinion sometimes she shows us too much sexiness.

@ 85 – Kat…yup,her music will do the talk…#1 is her place to be….and we will help her to always be on top of all!!!!

okay i'm not getting this single and i have most of the music i want already can anybody suggest any good music i could listen to i like most genre's.

@Kat Those same folks on CL and Ybf are pitiful!!! They go to every ri post saying

the same thing over and over. Thats why I say there aren't a lot of haters, just those

poor lonely people who try to use different post to appear like more than 1 person.

They are as bad as the haters who CLONE themselves on here and act like fans. I

know you hate her, but your loser ass has to watch her strut her pretty self from event

to event, effortlessly getting awards and honors while you boil in anger wondering

why her. Bitter bitches!!!

@margaret, yeah maybe more clothes if the single was titled "Soft"… get real, plz…

IF I DIDNT KNOW WHO IS RIHANNA I 'D THINK THAT THIS IS A COVER FOR A PORNO FILM SOMETHING LIKE THAT…..SERIOUSLYY AND I DONT THINK BEING THE ONLY ONE……..

HER JOB IS SINGING SONGS…..OR POSING NAKEDDD??? IM CONFUSD DAMNNN

WLL I DONT KNOW WHATS THE PURPOSE OF THATT…….

@margret Thats the way you critique on a fansite!!!!! Very classy, and even though

I disagree, you can tell you're a fan.

Yay! rih is still number 1 in norway on itunes!!.

@Amelia You seem to know alot about porn. Don't confuse what you do for a

living to rihanna. Your confused, you type like the typical hater ( CLONE), coming on

a fan site to spread your shade. Get a fucking life trick!!!

come guys nothing really gosh.

between saying the true & being a hater theres a differencee

well as soon as someone say something true they call him a hater…

what do u want me to sayy

ohh so beautiful cover very classy im going to put that on my wall & show to my

parents how its such a lovely coverr!!!!

happyy??

@Maison you are working really hard.

GREAT!! the best cover

LOL!@maison, ooh! u jus crack me up! we need to shut these clones up. .

i dont' like this dark & edgy side of Rihanna. I want the old Rihanna back!

Her body is sick!!

Thats why people hate her! lol

@amelia If your dumb ass don't know the difference between what margret said and

what you said, I can't help you. She doesn't look like she's in a fucking porno, are you

crazy or something???

@Honey LOL Its hard work smashing the haters!!! I went out for a second when I

came back it was Haterville, USA.

yeah,da ppl at cl r real cruel,same goes 4 mto nd al da otherz nd da reason i luvd rd is bcoz i always thot it was a hater-free zone bt its nt 2 b coz da world is just ful of hateful cows lyk sum ppl on here

….DAMN!!!!…PUH_LEASE, GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!

….ppl are acting like if she was sitting on a chair with her legs open… SMFH…

…she looked gorgeous on it and have a body on point…

…we know what's the real deal and all the talent that she has…this picture won't make her less talented or end her singing career…IT'S JUST A PICTURE!!!!

…a bunch of women will run to the gym after looking at this pic!!!!

@amelia, u do realise this album is titled "Rated R"? do u think if she had to wear something else, that it wud hav had the same impact? oh and btw rih knows what she is doin. if u dont like it, thats ur problm. just keep it to yourself, thanx.

She's just showing her (really hot btw) body again ?! .. Is that really everything ?? ..

I've better ideas .. with a bit of more context .. !! .. But it's good .. sexy sells !! ..

Some fans be so worried about these haters, I said it before FUCK THE HATERS!!!

THEY WILL NEVER LIKE HER. iF SHE CURED CANCER AND STARTED WORLD

PEACE!!!! So if you think being nice to them is gonna make them like her, or you for

supporting her, THATS NOT TRUE!!!

@avenging angel,where in s.a u at?

I like it. It's a little risque but whatever…it's effing Rihanna. I still perfer the wait is ova single cover. She looks amazing in color.

Rihanna you r such a fuckn hoe.A useless piece of Bajan meat good for the trash.Get the fuck outta here and go back home to Barbados where all sluts come from.With that stinky pussy of yours full of STDs

@ maison martin margiela ….lmao at "Freaking CLONE WARS in here "….

…yup,it is…lol…

@lee,m 4rm da sandton area,m nt very familiar wit da east rand area

Gudnyt ppl!!

@rabbit ears She's top 10 in 12 countries and probably 13 when RR is released to

itunes on november 16th. She on billboard at 75 with less than a week on itunes. By

thursday she should be top 10 on billboard. Her album is doing great in pre orders at

number 11.

@maison martin margiela

X,Y,”and Z” is a poster on every blog site that tirelessly picks up for CB.

When itunes released in the UK on november 16th it will be the 13th country she'll

be in the top 10 in.

Lol @ maison . @ rabbit ears, the video premiere is this friday!. @ avenging angel, ayeyeh! sandton? the rich side of joburg!! lmao.

@stanfan Thanks for the compliment!!! The only difference is a rep for a classy winner, and that person reps a total loser LOL

Has anyone noticed the "R" blade is longer than usual

no.. i don't like it… Rihanna is very beautiful and covers of Wait your turn and Russian Roulette are nice, but this one – no… sorry..

I really love Rihanna and her new sound but im upset as to how her pictures look. I want to see more creativity and not n

nudity, I just feel like this could be better. Im starting to worry about her album sales because of the pictures are more risque.

Just my opinion but im getting the album regardless..

I don't like it at all she is going really nude then thats awful please rihanna you say you want young girls looking up to you do you think this is how these girls want to look at you no rih not a good look. the others were ok this one you just never again! I wonder what her mom said about this.

@ rabbit ears…yeah,i can't wait to see the video….

..i'm wondering if they will drop a sneak peak of it…

No, I really don't like it.

It's way to much..

IM RIRIS BIGGEST FAN BUT THIS IS exaggerated

SHE IS SO SEXY AND BEAUTIFUL

SHE DOESN´T NEED TO OVERO IT………….

some of yall needta have a period. why all the hostility if the leonardo asked for ppl's opinions. u cant make someone like someone just because u like it. n all the cussing n what not is not necessary, really classless…n really annoying. when u curse like that….ur statement loses its credibilty. no one wants to read that crap anyway. my thoughts on the pic…its a little raunchy. i mean, idk. its ok. she coulda worn boy shorts n it woulda been just as sexy. rihanna is a sexy girl. so if she would leave a lil more to the imagination, she'll b good. she should like have a photoshoot with her wrapped up in sheets or something. something classy, yet so sophisticated n sexy. this classless stuff remninds me…like…trailer porn. or something.

i'm discouraged i'm below part time stan now i'll just do a couple hour's from now on.ehh.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ALL YOU LAX KIDDY FANSTANS????

YOU WANT RESPECT???? HIT YOUR MAN BACK SO HE KNOWS WHAT GOES!!!!

YOU WANNA BE SEEN???? GET OFF YOUR CLOTHES OR HIDE YOUR GOODS!!!!

FOR REAL!!!! AND DAMN SEXY!!!!

Omg Rih what did you do???!!I'm gettin sick of these covers ,it's gettin worse,rih is lookin like a porn star.

Riri if you really think that you want to help young girls,show it,words without action are nuffin…

And again I'm still behind your back…

Love ya.

Omg Rihanna Fantastic cover I love youu <3

Oh c'mon! Is it true? I don't think so…. this is not her style!

I like it, but at the same time it's like you gotta cover your eyes at the same time when you see it…(; LOL

I love the cover!!! It is hawt to death!!! Rihanna is sexy as hell!!! There is strength in being sexy! I love it!!! Shoot, if my body still looked like that, I would be doing that same pose!!! HAWT!!!!! Love it!!! This girl can do no wrong as far as I am concerned!!!

sorry but her boob looks weird,doesn't it???

i love her…

just to know i m a FAN

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh no she didn't Rihanna fan or not guys this is just a tad bit too much. It looks like a cover of Playboy magazine. this is just too much. who is her audience now? what about those young girls that look up to her? I really dont get where she's going with this new image..smh

she's only 21

Haha this looks very "Rated R" it looks like shes wearing nothing bottem :S but any how I love the colors and the light and dark textures. I seriously need to find who the photographer is of these images

i think the picture is hawt i love it …..and she is really showing that she's back…..and she definitely bring sexy back…lol

i love rihanna but this is to much i think the sex crazed image is not needed. i know sex sells and i am find with her being sexy and being confident in who she is but it is getting a little trashy

OMG I LOVE IT SO COOL

RUSSIAN ROULETTE IS #9 on iTUNES BUY IT

love it but this cover young girl cnt buy its to much skin showing.I love the cover though

I keep thinking that "Rated R" means "Rated Rihanna" : (

nobody shuld be sayin nuthin about this pic cause those lil bikinis girls wear on tha beach are worse than this. i dnt understand this world

@Woahx3 .. It's a 2sider .. It's expletive content .. but so much of Rihanna !! ..

I'd do it like this !! .. ..

I THINK SHE FORGOT THAT HER FANS THAT BUY HER MUSIC ARE YOUNG GIRLS AND GAY MEN!

BUT ANYWAYS THIS LOOKS SO PHOTOSHOPPED. WHOEVER DID THIS DID A HORRIBLE JOB AT AIRBRUSHING HER CLOTHES OFF OR HER SKIN WHATEVER DEY DID THEY NEED TO TRY AGAIN.

I don't like it….looks cheap and tacky!!!!

@OMG .. that was hilarious !! .. LMAO ..

OMG

November 10th, 2009 at 7:03 pm

I THINK SHE FORGOT THAT HER FANS THAT BUY HER MUSIC ARE YOUNG GIRLS AND GAY MEN!

That's not true. (=

She has more of a mature audience.

But I think Rihanna is going overboard with her image.

Like her songs are Powerful and Agressive.

But her image is just too revealing. Especially this image.

I still love you though. =)

(not in an obsessive way)..

YES! WORK BITCH!

Rihanna is grown. Fact.

Young girls wear less than this at the beach. Fact.

It really isn't that big of a deal.

I prefer this more than the 'Wait your Turn' cover, its smoking….

Not that many people go out and buy physical CDs anymore, everybody more or less downloads them so it wont make that much difference to her fan-base/ teen market….

She was wearing thigh boots, leather, pvc etc, on the GGGB tour, so this sexy/risque image isnt that much different….

Maybe she's telling the haters, and bloggers to kiss her a$$…….

I agree,,.as she says, many of u are putting her on a pedestal and expecting her to b perfect and do perfect things…well she is ONLY HUMAN…she has a sexy side just ike everyone else….this is so beautiful, so sexy, so feminine, so GROWN….she is now 21 and is able to explore her sexual side….SO STOP HATING….GO RIRI!!!

spectacular job

rihanna is hot

my lord look at the tattoos

I especially love the gun

go riri

go riri

go go riri

is it just me or are her boobs heavily photoshopped (enlarged?)

People are so far up Rihanna's ass, that they will repeat lines that they have heard others say on different blogs about celebs and semi nudity. Rihanna is absolutely disgusting. If she knows that she has a big influence on young girls why wear this? That is such a dumbass excuse that little girls wear less on the beach. WTF???? WTf are you supposed to wear on the beach when its hot… pants and a fur coat? I swear people will defend celebrities no matter what. This album is nasty and looks like porn. The only ones who like it are pervetive females who love her body and wanna look like her! You all are sick and pathetic. And I don't wanna here, she's grown, because y'all were the same ones saying that she's young and is allowed to make mistakes! Even if she is grown, she can't do whatever she want… if that was the case, she and the rest of the world could kill somebody without getting locked up. Plus, her body is no ones business so why is she putting it out???

In a word "WOW"

Below is an interesting review that i found and i agree with it 100%.

Rihanna's first interview on what happened the night of Feb 8 aired on Friday night and now too many people want to attack her—the victim. Unbelievable. She was the one who was beaten relentlessly too damn near unconsciousness. You wanna know what happened that night, try googling the police report. Yeah it started with a text which led to argument which led to Brown holding Ri-Ri captive in the car with him and beatin' her continually while he was drivin'. Eventually after her screams were heard, Brown got out of the car and left his bloody and battered girlfriend there. Why do people insist to hang on to the theory that there's something else to this that justified Chris' actions? I'll tell you what it is. It's prejudice. Racism. Rihanna is Bajan. Speaks with an accent. She's a crazed Island woman who musta said some crazy heinous things to him. She put hands on him first. She tossed his blackberry out the window. Even if she did all those things, it still doesn't justify Brown's prolonged attack. How much does Ri-Ri weigh anyway? There's a difference between defending yourself and brutalizing someone. Men know their own strength. Brown lost control. By all indications, this isn't the first incident between the two—just the ugliest one. Let's also take a look at the fact that plenty of African-American females are riding with Chris because he's more of a traditional R&B artist. He's our young MJ. The pin-up poster child. Master vocalist, dancer, performer. Ri-Ri delved into the urban market with "Umbrella" and will do the same with her new joint with Jeezy, but she's more of a mainstream, club music artist. She's a favorite of the gay community. She's the "Pon De Replay" girl turned Pop Princess. Their images play a major role in the public's perception of this saga. Let's just hope the end result of all this is that we're all beginning to gain some closure. The more they both speak, the more I realize how young and impressionable they both are. It's hard enough to deal with fame, yet alone the idea that this situation has thrust them both into the pressure-filled position of being role models. Actions speak louder than words and they both should agree to no longer address the incident. And Chris should go back to pickin' up garbage.

What give people the right to judge others ,I will never know.Lots of artist/Celebs have posed in less, for crying out loud Beyonce was in her panties the other day at the EMA, Gaga is always in her underwear, Serena posed naked the other day as well.Why do some of people have such a double standard, or is it just for people they don’t like.

OMG THAT SHIT GO DUMB HARD!!!!

LOVE IT RIRI

& she's a role model for young girls.????……………okkkkkkkkk

I dont care for this. Looks very cheap,trashy and porno like. It's a shame Rihanna has to stoop to this low level..this is very low rent.

imma huge rihanna fan. but this is pushing it a little I hope she reading the feedback we are giving her cuz dis pic. she has a huge influence in youung girls lives and i think she should have done something with atlest bottoms on. i love the pic but do i love it for young girls to see no i dnt. i wouldnt want my lil cousin lookin at this. i truly love rih but she need a new cover for hard P.S i love HARD Its hot

Wow! I think the new cover is hot!!

…….Madona look out!….Rihanna is taking the world by a storm…and as for those hating,models and big ppl like tyra banks hav done a lot of nuden but never got criticized,RiRi is also a model this is just part of work,stop critizing and hating,why do u even visit this website?….this is HOTTTTT….wish u all the best Ri!

Horrible, and a very bad example for young girls….The same ones she said that she wants to look up to her….I am a huge fan but lately Rihanna is nothing but a continous stream of contradictions……….which leads me to believe that she is fake, not really interested in being a role model and only interested in making the next dollar….I wont be buying her new album…..

WOW

I know yet as she said she would never step naked before the camera. And show now!

In every single cover!

But it's very beautiful! I love it!
