Yes the beautiful Rhiana. She is a Caribean Princess with very authenic vocal quality and she uses to own her tracks, this is no exception. The hook like the meaning of the song resignate with everyday life that it is difficult not to like the song. The video and her training in ballet is obvious and makes the song almost a phenomenum. The choreographer did an amazing job and Rhiana looks the part. You have got to give her manager and those intrusted with developing her career because she is on track for superstardom....her lasted hit which is not even on her last single Take A Bow is on heavy rotation on video and radio. To top it off she is reportedly romantically involved with Chris Brown. I am sure she is estatic about her life right now and I wish her nothing but the BEST.

This CD must be listened to w/ a BOSE audio product! Great motivator,
especially love the synthesizers!

When I first heard Rihanna's "Umbrella", I absolutely hated this song. It was all because of that chorus line of 'umbrella -ella -ella. ey, ey, ey'. Everytime this came on the radio, I would switch the channel.
Then something happened. I began to listen to the rest of the song and found my self being hooked by it. Eventually I was able to overlook that annoying lyric and appreciate the rest of the song. From its powerful music to attactive lyrics (and not to mention a hot HOT video), "Umbrella" ends up earning its place as one of the top songs on 2007. It also highlights the rapid evolution of Rihanna from the generic kiddie pop star of "Pon De Replay" to a sophisticated temptress with this song.

This is a great song. I like it a lot. I really like the version Tegan and Sara do, but you can't find that anywhere.

I bought this for the dance mix I heard on the radio and I love it. The Cd also provides the original mix and one other. Glad you had it and happy I bought it.
