Released on Monday, May 24 2010

One of her Rated R LP's less menacing moments, 'Te Amo' finds La Fenty grappling with her sexuality over some irresistible, Latin-infused Stargate beats. However, after realising precisely what her same sex suitor means when she says "te amo", she has no choice but to let her down gently: "I feel love but I don't feel that way." Oh Ri, you're officially the world's biggest heartbreaker.

I smell a fish between the three artists Lady Ga Ga, Ne-Yo and Rihanna. With Lady Ga Ga releasing 'Alejandro' and Rihanna releasing, 'Te Amo' and then strangely the song Ne-Yo / Monster which personally seems similar to Lady Ga Ga 'Monster' track. First thought was coincidence but are our artists actually working together to make some greedy, stashey tracks after all!Strangely all our pop artists recieve negative attention, where as all this R&B usual sound keeps up in positive directins. Perhaps our loving artists are not so front as they seem with their talented exteriors. The lying cheats seem to be coming together secretely to sum up some talented tracks together. If the response is true then what a greedy bunch they are where as the truest singers are working for their money. It's called put some discipline to your work and do it as it is!!
WOA I REALLY LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is horrid!!! look at the album cover, she needs to sort her life and her music out! and the videos really bad and cheap
the video for this is shocking, i didnt mind the song at first - now i really dislike it, the awful video has ruined it. and funny how she is going down the charts after the release of the video instead of up...
just watched the video to this, sooooo amazingly beautiful
I adore this song, it speaks wonder and love! I can't believe she did a song with a message like this; i quite often found her bland and boring but this song has just changed my opinion! RIHANNA FOREVER! <3
rihana with mew hit te amo 4 me is perfecct abot love,,i love this song
I feel that with this Rated R album she is she exceeding herself and isn't releasing the same old conventional R'n'B crap that is plauging talented African American female singers however she is breaking out of this stereotype by mixing a unique blend of Rock/Soul/R'n'B which we need 2 see more of
rihanna is my fav artist
Saw Rihanna in Birmingham on the 7th, omg...she was everything i expected her to be and more.....ive spent alot of money on vip tickets in LA to meet her later in the year she was that good....and Te Amo is fantastic....&its good that shes singing about homosexuality....its not a bad thing...good for her....I could see Rihanna as being Bi-sexual....maybe this is the beginning of her "coming out" FAIR PLAY RIRI
i love you rihanna i don't care what you sing the important thing is that you can sing.
Great song from a fantastic album. Love this tune - brave choice considering the rap communities attitude to homosexuality. Hope its not the last single......FIRE BOMB needs to be released! Its amazing.
This song actaully grows on you alot, you have to hear it a few times for you to like it but now its soo addictive ..love it
Boring, bland and repetitive. Sorry, but I will slate the three big words against this. We don't care what 'te amo' means, Fenty, everyone knows a bit of Latin!
Used to skip this when hjer album came out but I love it now, great single choice cannot wait for the video. FIRE BOMB NEXT PLEASE!!! As for Rated R, it's deffo a grower album, love it!!
she was wailing in birmingham last week, not good at all. i listened to this to see if it was any better than the rubbish she has made so far but yet again she disappoints
All the singles from rihannas 'Rated R' lp, have been utterly terrible. Her new sound was a big risk for her, a massive change from the poppy sound of 'good girl gone bad' but unfortunately that risk has not payed off. The only plausable track on rated r is fire bomb, which is unlikely to be realesed. Let's hope her fith album is beter x
I get awfully confused regarding Rihanna\'s single. First the \"Hard\" and \"Rude Boy\" confusion, and now this. I\'m going to assume that by reviewing it, it has been confirmed as the third single in the UK and not \"Rockstar 101\" which is being released in the U.S. \"Te Amo\" isn\'t the strongest of singles from what I\'ve heard, I would\'ve gone for \"Photographs\" or \"Hard\", but this is a nice slow track after \"Rude Boy\", so I wish it all the best.
yes its a grd song buh why is she \"i love you\" to a girl ??? help :D
Give it a Rest Hunter and stop with the Copy and Pasting rubbish please? This song is amazing nice beat and the tune is lovely feels so calm and tense Rihanna doesn't mean She loves in that kind of way only just in a friendly kind of way not....You know what I mean :)
