The Wait is Ova Release Date

I translated the source for "The Wait is Ova" being the second single and it states that it is due for a release in November of 2009 before the album is released. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.121.57.101 (talk) 23:06, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

this is meant to be the first single off of he rnew album, as russian roulette is to promote the new album, which will be called the wait is over.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.116.120 (talk) 20:52, 29 October 2009 (UTC) 

Rated R Genre

In the Glamour Interview Rihanna says that the album is like Lil Wayne meets Kings Of Leon, so I think that the Genres of the album can be R&B/Pop the elementals genres of rihanna, Hip Hop cause she says that is more urban, and for Kings Of Leon I think that can be Alternative Rock or just Alternative music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.14.24.192 (talk) 21:24, 4 November 2009 (UTC) Now That I hear the album leak, I confirm that is kind of right the genres that I say before: R&B, Pop, Hip-Hop, Rock. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.142.139.10 (talk) 20:09, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

2/13 songs with a guitar intro dosen't make it a rock album. 81.106.148.147 (talk) 19:17, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

I took Off the Hip Hop part because it`s stupid to say this album is Hip Hop. Mos Def`s Ecstatic is Hip Hop, Anything Flo-Rida does is Hip-Pop At Most but can be considered Rap so how is Rihanna`s music going to be considered Hip Hop? LarryTheGreat (talk) 22:48, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

You two last are wrong, more songs have guitar than just 2, and she is raping on the album but is not like Grime or Rap-Pop or something like that, is Hip Hop, the R&B i agree R&B will be always the base of Rihanna's albums, and Rock I don't think about Rock-Rock is more like Alternative Rock...or if you don't think about Rock is like Alternative Music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.142.225.15 (talk) 18:03, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

The genre is Pop/R&B with influences of Hip-hop & rock (what should i say?? it's pop-rock! we can't even call it rock, that would mean that we don't know what rock is.....) many sources state the same thing so please stop changing it! MariAna_MiMi (Talk) 21:48, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

• The album is Hip hop, R&B and rock [2][3]. And these liars are saying that Metacritic AllMusic and say the album is pop/R&B, but they are manipulating information, for both sites the album is R&B. Vitorvicentevalente (talk) 21:55, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I did not talk to you that way! ok?? yes the album is R&B!! but rock & hip-hop are only influences! what can't you understand? Allmusic is the better source because it only reviews albums! IGN is just some internet page, not specialised in music!! you're the only one here manipulating information here! it's clear that you have an obsession that this album is rock & hip-hop (to make it look "bad" or whatever your intention is....)!! i can see that you don't even understand those genres of music! MariAna_MiMi (Talk) 22:12, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

It's clear that you have an obsession that this album is Pop, but it's not. It's Hip hop and R&B, rock is increased by the singer and The Guardian also talks about the album's hip hop and rock and hip hop. You also manipulate my words, because I never said that the main genre is rock music. Vitorvicentevalente (talk) 22:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Ok but it's still R&B as the main genre not hip-hop! it only has ELEMENTS of hip-hop! if she says that it's classical music or punk or hard rock, it's her vision, artists say many things that are not always true! MariAna_MiMi (Talk) 22:26, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

It is to AllMusic, but not for other sites like IGN and Rap-Reviews. Previously, I had no sources, I put, I pray that the work is respected. In addition, she wrote and produced the album, is a personal album, A VIDEO-FILM OF HER LIFE! Vitorvicentevalente (talk) 22:38, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Dont forget the two dubstep songs on the album, produced by Chase and Status. 75.111.63.195 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:33, 27 December 2009 (UTC).

The Wait is over

The page needs to be re-created. For one it has a music video, also an artwork was released. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelB722 (talk • contribs) 02:31, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Was this page written by a Rihanna stan?

I swear this page is all like "Oh, she's had such a hard year, so this album is about all her trials and tribulations, and people need to understand that". All this page needs is some loser going "LEAVE RIHANNA ALONE!!! *SOB* *SOB*". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.90.68 (talk) 06:10, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Then re-write it. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 07:32, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Hmm... maybe this was written while I was in the middle of my copyedit... - Adolphus79 (talk) 15:00, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Reviews

PROFESSIONAL MUSIC MAGAZINES like SPIN & BILLBOARD should be kept at the review section in the infobox!! PLEASE STOP DELETING THEM!! (MariAna Mimi 10:06, 26 November 2009 (UTC))

Says who? Their reviews are subpar compared to the ones that r there now. Dan56 (talk) 19:42, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Says this here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Review sites see???? SPIN IS LISTED as a prefered review magazine and so is Billboard!!!! DO NOT DELETE THEM!! (MariAna Mimi 20:49, 26 November 2009 (UTC))

It does not say anything about it being perferred. The Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot is a professional critic, as is USA TOday's Steve Jones. Their reviews of the album are more comprehensive than Billboard's and Spin's, whether negative or positive, or mixed. Dan56 (talk) 21:04, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Wait Your Turn

Wait Your Turn has not been confirmed as the third single in the U.K. in 2010 or anywhere else. Okredgreen (talk) 19:47, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

It was originally going to be the second single but they chose to release hard instead. Since it already has a video released I assume it will be third but I can't find a source. 75.111.63.195 (talk)
