This song is simply amazing. It is dark, beautiful, and telling. For those who are complaining about her not being her upbeat self, as she stated on her GMA interview, she is CHANGED. NO ONE can go through what she went through and be the same. However, the one thing that is constant is the quality of her music and how well she can capture the audience. Great comeback song.

There is honestly no doubt about the heartbreak that Rihanna has gone through the past year. With all the deep and saddened darkness of her domestic violence bout with Chris Brown, she still honestly has a lot to say in her heart. Well, with her anticipated interviews on 20/20, she'll be able to be welcomed back widely with open arms to her fans. Honestly though, I wish I could deeply say the same thing about her music. Her new single, Russian Roulette from her upcoming album Rated R, feels a little weak, and honestly doesn't have the full-blown impact she had broke through with the mainstream audiences as she had done with Umbrella a few years ago. She has a lot she needs to prove to her fans, and when her album comes up soon, she'll do much better than what I've heard from this song. I really wasn't impressed with the track at all. She really didn't drive the melody and mood all the way home. Hopefully, when Rated R comes out, there will be much better songs there on the record.

BEAUTIFUL SONG!!! I heard it in the car and wasnt sure who sang it, I just knew I had to have it!!! Very Strong and beautiful song!

This song really caught my attention when I heard it on the radio the other day. I could immediately tell that it's Rihanna and this song really reminds me of how beautiful her voice is. It's a ballad, so no catchy dance beats, but that's ok. I really enjoyed the depth of emotions conveyed through this song. It's also a nice change of pace from all the dance music and high energy pop songs that's always playing on the radio. I like it.
