If you're Rihanna, don't read this! --FURTHER BASHING ADDED!

Puh-leeze...
RIHANNA... what a sorry excuse for a pop singer. What did the producers see or hear in her? Her voice is instantly recognizable by its extremely nasal sound. And she's not physically attractive (I'm SORRY, she's just NOT) nor is she an exceptional performer like many of her female pop/R&B contemporaries with one name. The fact that she does so many cameos and appearance in non-music related shows (Bring It On 2, My Super Sweet Sixteen, etc.) tells me that she needs all this extra publicity that's obviously put together by her powerful producers as a desperate attempt to boost popularity and record sales. Her song "Unfaithful," how inappropriate for someone like her to be singing it. She 18, it's just awkward that she's singing about how she's mentally murdering her husband/boyfriend by cheating on him. Wassup? You're 18, CHILL. And I can totally see someone like Christina Aguilera or Kelly Clarkson making this terrible song (so partially not her fault) non-excruciating. It's just the nasally thing is not for this very BAD song.

OK about that song "Unfaithful" (I previously thought it was called "Murderer" OK whatever). Is it JUST ME? Has anyone else noticed the similarities to Rob Thomas's "Lonely No More"??? If you don't know these two songs, here are the lyrics of the chorus, which are VERY similar, and I'M NOT KIDDING, the melodies are ALMOST IDENTICAL (well except Lonely No More is better).

Unfaithful (youtube here, OMG, it's SOOO BAD):
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Every time I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside

Lonely No More (youtube here):
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list

Hey! She'd fit right in in Hong Kong. Come join the Hong Kong pop scene, Rihanna!

hey VK,

I'm in Belgium right now, sitting dully in a net lounge and having my VKo blog fix. Please feel honoured! The only 3 pages I have on now are your blog, my blog (which is far more boring) and gmail. I am tired.

I want to say I'm really sorry for being so "belligerent" in my last few emails... I DUNNO. My moods are really volatile these days (I know I'm not really good at controlling my words when I'm moody) and I'm crying way too much. But I hope you understand with supernatural powers... no hard feelings.

its like you are in my brain. Rhianna sucks fumunder testes. The good news someone is making money off her and its not us. We should play reality show lotto with her. Which show will she end up in as a sad star?
