4.0 out of 5 stars It sampled? Oh no!!!, May 10, 2006

Okay, "SOS" samples (understatement) Soft Cell's version of "Tainted Love," which was a cover of a song by Gloria Jones. That's nothing new. Rap & Hip/hop sample like crazy. Madonna's "Hung Up" sampled ABBA, and her "Future Lovers" samples Donna Summer. Rihanna hasn't invited something new here. In honesty, I prefer her vocals (and possibly, lyrics) to Soft Cell's lyrics and vocals. Seldom does a remake (or sample) outdo the original, but let's face it: Soft Cell's hit wasn't a hit from the vocals, but the track. Catchy, catchy, catchy. My disappointment with Rihanna's CD is that the single isn't at all representative of the album - meaning, if you buy the album hoping to hear more songs with the sass and spirit of "SOS," you'll be disappointed. On future efforts, Rihanna should go for the dance floor - it seems to like her.

I like what Rihanna has done with Soft Cell's "Tainted Love." It's a bouncy, fresh, new approach to a classic New Wave/Pop song!!

5.0 out of 5 stars S.O.S.-Rhianna, April 20, 2006

A Kid's Review

If you like to dance and sing along S.O.S. has a beat to get you moving! Rhianna had once again come out with an awesome song called S.O.S.. S.O.S. is an excellent, attention grabbing song! This song has captured the hearts of many people throughout the world. I would recommend this song to not only those who like hip-hop, but to those who just need to listen to some good music. After listening to S.O.S. my first time, i fell in love with it and wanted to purchase it right away! Don't wait any longer, purchase it now at yours truley, amazon.com!
