Rihanna: 'Disturbia'
Released on Wednesday, Sep 24 2008
Published Friday, Aug 29 2008, 13:18 BST | By Alex Fletcher | 26 comments

As the seventh release from her colossal Good Girl Gone Bad LP, 'Disturbia' should by rights be a plodding, predictable piece of filler. Amazingly, this isn't the case. Probably one of her strongest releases, 'Disturbia' is a fun-packed electro treat filled with sizzling beats and crazy vocal effects. If the "bum-bum be-dum bum-bum de-bum bum" intro doesn't hook you, her catchiest chorus since 'Umbrella' will surely do the trick. An impressive release that proves Rihanna is ruling '08 much like she did '07.

i love this song its catchy but all i have to say is if you have to release 7 singles off an album AND rerelease the same album there is something wrong i mean think about it, and i thought her cd did pretty well, this is suppose to be her bect album yet and she made this big change in your image so it makes me wonder what she is going to do next?

people on this site sicken me........ so what she's released 7 singles from her album people must like her considering they buy her music!!! this song is good and all of you just put the girl down since you think she's so rubbish go out and sing something yourself......... it's not about how big or low your voice is but about your creativty........ yes she doesn't write her own songs but there plenty of others out there who don't too. you all are just haters who have nothing else better to do with your time then pull people down.as the saying goes if you can't say anything nice the don't say anthing at all.

Haters,step back! I'll admit, when I first heard this song, I wasn't sure about it. Then I saw the video, and I have to say I now think it is a great song. I agree, that she has released too many songs from her album, though!

honestly rihanna is doing her thing idk y ppl are so hateful! just cause she doesnt have a maraiah voice, and cause she released 7 songs off one album.....matter fact thats pure genius because not only does that show that anything she does turns 2 gold it shows how bold her music can really be. i mean 4 real, when in the hell did any of us think rihanna would go all thriller on us? that was prob the best move she could do cause now shes drawing in so many different kinds of fans. and not only that the video for disturbia has so many artistic aspects its insane! covered in tarantulas and her limbs in walls....shes still as sexy as she was when she was telling the dj to turn the music up! for real all in all she is gonna keep bustin out these hits and ppl are going to keep loving her for her unique and ever so changing appearance. shes setting a whole nother kinda bar 4 upcoming artists to go up against and she has 2 get commemorated 4 it! keep ruippin them charts rihanna!

Top tune from the artist of the moment. Rihanna can do no wrong. As the album draws to a close (after her two following releases rumourd to be rehab and breaking dishes) this song leaves me so excited about what's yet to come!!

To be fair, the last two singles weren't on the original cut of the album and only appear on the recent re-release.

talented? they arent even her songs, how can you call her talented when the music she is singing isnt hers.

This is prob my favourite song that she has released and I find that she is still as strong as last summer with Umbrella, well done on her! I don't understand why people complain about her releasing so many song from one album, if she has the quality to do that, then I say do it... Each and every song to come from GGGB is excellent. This genre of music I don't usually listen to but I bought this album because she is so talented.

I think this song is great! Personally i think it's fantastic that this is her 7th single off the 1 album. What's the point in recording 14 odd songs when you only release a few? Also there is no harm in releasing alot of songs if people like them, and she has had a great success with this album, so obviously people do!
