What have they done to you?



What in blazes is up with Rihanna's hair these days? She looks like she should be in a head-butting contest!

I think most people will agree with me when I say that Rihanna made much more sense in her "Pon the Replay" days...recently, it's been one crazy hairstyle after another. I mean, "Disturbia" was cool and all, in an edgy sort of way, but we thought it would end there. Unfortunately, since then Rihanna has just been sliding further and further down the weirdness scale.
Music of the Sun and A Girl Like Me were great. We could totally see and hear where she was coming from: the Caribbean island of Barbados. Then the Good Girl went Bad in 2007, and everything just went downhill from there. She cut her hair (BIG mistake, she looked much better with long brown tresses) and dyed it black, and went under this transformation into a darker, edgier, arguably sexier version of herself (can anyone say Sasha Fierce?). Granted, there's nothing wrong with a good ol' makeover to re-vamp your image, but come on! Rihanna has taken the thing too far. We don't even know who she is anymore...at least I don't. And now she's releasing Rated R. Dressed in nothing but barbed wire on the cover (remind you of Beyonce on the cover of Dangerously in Love?). And to top it all, ram horns on her head. Freaky. I mean that in the worst way.

Rihanna has a great voice and she can sing, no doubt about that. She just needs to get her act together. Else, she'll risk alienating her fans.

  1. I agree that she looked really nice in her long her and her new hairstyle is horrible. but i dont agree with the conparison between what she's wearing on Rated R and Beyonce's dangerously in love. I think Beyonce looked really cool in that, Rihanna just looks odd
