Rih Rih is doing a Re-Release of Good Girl Gone Bad...

So far the only new track they've mentioned is the new single "Take A Bow,"

I think my ears might be bleeding... jokes, sorta

"Take A Bow" is written by Ne-Yo. What a no-brainer -- I love how Def Jam figures out a formula and works it to death.

Here's my favorite Ne-Yo/Rihanna song:

Ne-Yo's got a new track out too:

I don't like this one either, but I figure in a few weeks after a bit of force feeding from the Def Jam machine I will be completely mesmerized.

The new version of Good Girl Gone Bad lands May 27th. I just can't wait. Can you feel my enthusiasm... yeah I figured.

On another note -- Day 26 has released a video for "Got Me Going"

I think it sucks. Sorry guys, just keeping it real. Willie is the only one of these guys who has any sex appeal -- the rest of them got that "bitchassness" stamped on 'em.

Talk to me y'all!

  • I have to agree, Willie is the only sexy one, the rest just don't do it. I mean Robert does act like a female and the other one with the braids, is just corny. Diddy needs to do something with his hair, cause it is a MESS!! As far as the Mike, he is just straight up COUNTRY!!! And Q, is cool but he reminds me of a 112 reject, I am sorry.

  • All the songs are just "okay," except for that Day 26 song, in my opinion. That's pretty much all I can say.

    @Stop Hating...I'm pretty sure YOU can do better than that. If you like the song, then fine; you get a cookie and a gold star. But to many of us, the shit is wack.

  • I've said it once and I'll say it again, Rihanna can NOT sing. She's average at best. That Ne-yo song is alright. It might grow on me. I actually like Day 26 as a group, but Robert and ol' boy with the braids are wack.

  • The Day26 video was good... its just the group and that song that I don't like. They all can sing but for some reason they don't connect. Maybe its song....Simon, Randy, and Paula aren't lying when they say that song choice can make or break you. I'm also over Diddy and the leather motorcycle jacket he's been rockin in every video since the 'I Need A Girl' video. Will someone find the guts to tell the fashion savvy Diddy that the look is played and its time to switch up.

  • I think both of the Diddy's groups are wack, but I prefer this song to that mess released by DK.
    This new Rihanna is so WACK and mediocre. I don't who they fooling, trying to re-release an album with a track like this, which is album filler at best. SMDH. All of Neyo's songs sound the same, so I might as well listen to his first album than listen to this new track of his.

  • On day 26 I think the video was ok nothing spectacular but I do like the song. They'll still go platinum they have too big of a fan base

  • Fuck what you heard!

    Can we talk about how this song actually as a melody, a bridge, harmony and sharp vocal arrangemens AND these niggas can sing?! That in and of itself is a HUGE deal considering how wack most popular music is. That said, ole boy who was whinin has the best voice and he should sing more lead. His voice is flawless. But really all these cats are top-notch vocalists. They could be major if Puffy don't fuck it up.

  • Yall all on here act like a bunch of hatin ass bitches.... It's about the MUSIC dummies... Leave your personal feelings at the fuckin door. I'm sorry, but you all know you'd be rockin to that Day 26 joint in the club. And who the fuck cares what they look like?? All of them dudes can sing!

  • Who said there was a rule that every member of a band had to be good looking? What boy band have you ever seen that was chock full of cuties? None, that's how many. The point is every last one of these guys can sing. I like the video, but am not crazy about the song although I must admit it's starting to grow on me a little. I'm looking for the album to have at least 5 songs I love. Anything less and I will be highly disappointed in Diddy.

  • I got the Day26 album and I like it a lot. It's out there on the filesharing sites. I was surprised to see it.

    Bottom line, Day26 is a good overall group. Maybe a lot of you posters WALK but when you play "Got Me Waiting" in the truck, it bumps.

    Finally every member in every group ain't hot. Ricky Bell. Tito. That fat nigga in the Force MD's. Looks are a preference. I knew 2 girls who thought Ronnie from NE wasn't all that hot. But I know MAD chicks who would have bone that nigga just on how he looked.

  • Ne Yo is overrated as a writter imo. I thought he would end up the next babyface or some ish, but he hasn't really delivered on a consistent basis. The only good song he did on Janet's album was rock with u. All the slow songs are practically garbage. And Janet always has at least one good slow song on an album.

  • The more I hear the Day26 track, the more it grows on me...they coulda left Diddys ass out the video though. As far as Rihanna, that song seems like a rejected Beyonce track.

  • Rhianna u r fine but singing isn't ur stick but you pulled off plat round of applause. Day 26 song is tight actually am i going to buy the album? No. I like Ne-Yo's songwriting efforts but I'm not into him as an artist.

  • STONE says...
  • Nothing is wrong with the Day26 song, its just not a hit. The vocals are tite and the song is good....but after being force fed bullshit r&b for sooo long, fans are looking for greatness. The songwriting and the production on this song just don't offer us that. I hope that the album has stronger material cause these guys are talented and really do deserve mega success.

  • Im a DJ so i checked out the album way ahead of time and it's really good, I think R&B fans will be really impressed. A couple of things I want to point out, first is the fellas who think R&B is for females, this cd has the ability to set the mood and help you amplify you swag that's already their. Next point I want to make is that the female's who listen to this album will also be able to "do that falling in love with singer" thing that they do. One more note, use this album to get shit right with your girl and let her know you gonna handle that tonight, if your game is tight.

    On a personal note the album is good but I didn't like the fact they really put Big Mike backseat on this album which is disappointing. But I digress

    OUT!

  • Co-sign Spaceage. THose dudes are really talented. The album decent but it's tuned to compete with the current trend of infusing R&B with electronica/dance music. But if they went against the grain and did a true R&B album that shit would be fire.

  • Day 26 will be superstars. If Dru Hill, 112, Jodeci, New Edition, and Jagged Edge could accomplish what they have, these guys are a can't miss. ALL FIVE CAN SING AT LEAD SINGER LEVEL!!! Songwriting/production is the only thing that can stop them and Diddy is smart enough to humble himself in front of TRUE songwriters for the paper. lol

  • @Boogie

    Q is lead singer level? I guess if no one else could sing then that would be true. NE had 3 lead singers. Ralph, Bobby and Ricky. They never really used Ricky - Thank God for BBD. Ricky is the only solo album that didn't do well.

    Link to the solo Ricky Bell album - http://product.half.ebay.com/Ricardo-Campana_W0QQprZ3436023QQtgZinfo

    Let's keep it real:

    Q is the Ronnie of the group. The necessary light skinned brother of the group that can dance and hold a note.

    Brian is Ricky. Robert is Bobby Brown / Johnny. Will is Ralph. And strangly enough Mike is Mike.
