One of the songs that currently gets lots of airplay on the radio as well as on MTV is Rihanna’s Umbrella… and while I don’t really mind the song (it’s pretty catchy), I really hate the music video. It’s enough to turn me off the song as well. The song lyrics imply friendship and being there for your friend, but all the video shows her strutting around in kinky leather and lace flourishing an umbrella. I don’t find her sexy (but then I’m not a man) and she can’t dance to save her life; all she does is stand in poses to show off her curves and shakes her little booty from time to time.

I suppose the video was designed to capture the young hot-blooded males who don’t care about quality music or videos, and just want to watch as much near-porn on the telly as possible. That’s what Rihanna does mostly; strut and show her stuff. Her Unfaithful video showed her all over the piano.

That’s the latest trend, isn’t it? All the young supposed up-and-coming singers are only selling sex and not music.

Whatever happened to creativity and real talent?
