This is more of a response to the 1st writer than anything else. If she can come up with nine singles from one album, that has to be a tribute to the quality of the album and the fact that she has quite a few bouncy hits. It sure beats albums with one single, and then the rest of the album seems to be a ripoff. I look forward to hearing the next album. . .and I wouldn't be surprised to see her with quite a few more singles.

This is a very compelling and powerful song about how you can unexpectedly become passionately "addicted" to a person (like some type of sexual drug). Obviously, the song is about trying to quit them but how that can be easier said than done. For this song, checking into rehab is more about trying to release someone that has a powerful sexual hold on you. The "Rehab" music video features both Rihanna and Justin Timberlake playing a convincing act of lovers who erotically long for each other but who do not really want to let each other go. They have some strong chemistry together in the music video. This song did get some coverage and attention when it first came out, but in my humble opinion it deserved even more exposure and is underrated. Definitely consider getting this song and checking out the video if you like music by Rihanna and/or Justin Timberlake.

There is no doubt about why I named Rihanna the most Overexposed artist of 2008. she has had so many single and videos that have felt like they've been flimsy and lacking a lot of heart. After the lackluster and less than meaningful Disturbia, is is hard to believe she would make a 9th single, yes that is right a 9th single from the album A Good Girl Gone Bad. Rehab, the latest single from that album, feels more like a waste of soul. While the video shows her trying to seduce Justin Timberlake, the song itself doesn't seem to deliver in tune with her voice. It just feels like it is another waste of pop trash. I'd rather recommend Beyonce's recent single If I Were A Boy as a MP3 download for your player over this song. Rihanna just needs to go away for awhile. Not only that, but if you're looking a real rehab song, choose Amy Winehouse's soul-driven Rehab instead.
