After a million teasers, Rihanna finally premieres her hotly anticipated music video for ‘Where Have You Been’.

Stunning visual with great cinematography, outfits and of course choreography which was the visual’s focal point. The dancing? Decent for Rihanna standards and I cannot wait to see her execute the routine on Saturday Night Live next week. I loved the tribal concept and of course she looked fantastic. A body like that will have anyone in a rush to get their gym membership running.

I thought the video was cute. It was obviously one of her best videos in a while. The dancing was ok….but i guess it was good since we all know Rihanna’s dancing abilities.

This video was fuckin EPIC. I thought Toya would have loved it. The choreography was first rate.

Toya, you are suprisingly reserved in this review..! I though you’d be praising her to the high heavens and be foaming at da mouth..! Anyway she slayed, well done Rih..!

good but the desert scene is fake and u can tell. the first setting with the black dress and afro was the best.
Patrick

wow this is an amazing video. She looks so gorgeous and dance moves were on point. There is no hating on this video and music needed a video like this.

Toya didn’t give it the praise it deserved! Rihanna was dancing her lacefront off! I have never seen her dance like that since her underrated Grammy performance.

I await the RTW comparisons lol!

Nice visuals.
Uhhhhhh …

I understand why toya didn’t go off because the dancing was good but rihanna isn’t a natural dancer so sometimes it looked a lil off .. I still commend her tho for prob her best video to date .. I PRAY she slays SNL cuz it would really be ashame to have such a good video then completely kill her momentum as a decent performer.
Bmm

Slaaaaaayed

Um. She just can’t top We Found Love.
Britney would be crucified for dancing this dull.
The FX at the end are good – otherwise — why are we in a jungle that looks more fake them something out of the original Star Trek TV show? It looks cheap and dumb.

The entire gthing look as fake as her weave. She lookckward as hell. She look like a misfit. She will never slay any performance b/c she is not a performer. She will suck badly on SNL like she always do. All the hype and she came with this fake shyt. Never dancing to those who can and know how. None talent cunt and of course she gotta be topless that’s all she know to do.

I think it could have been better but it was ok. There should have been more dancing in this than beauty shots. Not great but not bad.

Not to bad but you can see she was not really into it. You can always see a dancer’s moves and lines. Rihanna’s stepts were off at times and she was very stiff. Listening to the song I would think the video would have been about looking for love or someone you haven’t seen a while. Where Have You Been. lol

Now We Found Love was her best video ever!!
Mileka

stunning.

WHO CARES?

Wow this video just made me sooo proud of CIARA because it proves that dancing Itself is a talent and that it isn’t easy to do and please people with.. rihanna perfomance in this video was OK.. it wasn’t good or great.. her body was stiff and it made the choreo look boring.. I’m sure if she had more Rhthym the choreo would have looked much better.. I thought the human eyeball she made in this video with their bodies was innovative.. all in all good video rihanna. Just leave the dancing to Ci&Bey

20 comments and not one from that nut bag @say what. I would have thought she would be the first one in here spamming the damn comment section w/10 comments back to back. #crazyass

Anyway, it is a cute video. WFL still is my fav of this era. I luv that song/vid and I am not even a fan of Rihanna. The dancing was OK by Rihanna standards. It wasn’t amazing, it was just…Rihanna. It doesn’t matter how much the rihtards scream for her to dance; it will never be a full on dance routine b/c the girl just can’t dance. There is nothing natural about her movements. Forced and heavily rehearsed. I didn’t realize how stiff she was until I saw that All Stars performance. lol. This girl has no rhythm.

Ummm not a bad effort. Not on Beyonce level but she done ok I guess :/

Brilliant man! Just top notch!
Say What

I like it and her vocals sounds great, this is a keeper.
what!

That was stale and not worth y’all wait. She copied her self (darn shame) and T. Taylor’s look. She danced like a wanna be white girl.
But we can bet for sure that want be sang live, live! Poor Rihanna Navy they getting ready to go broke….
nana

wow luv video amazing

Everytime I watch this video I love it sooo much more!!! That eye dance formation slyaed my whole entire fucking life. And the camera movements aligning with dance movements was a subtle yet so effective element. Dave Meyers was definitely proving that he is still a force to be reckon with!
