Ghoulish surprise

Wow worthy, honestly. She deserves all of the accolades that will follow from the phenomenal video for “Disturbia,” directed by my favorite photographer of all time, David LaChapelle. RiRi simply brought the damn thing and worked it out. A fantastic conjoining of intrigue and morbidity, just slightly darker than the mainstream level of comfort. The video is still somewhat tame for LaChapelle standards, but stunning nonetheless. He’s done it again—What can I say? This is art. Now if only the actual song was a bit darker…

    What an outstanding video for an okay song. I don’t hate it, but think the video outdoes the actual song in brilliance.

    That said, maybe I’ll like the song more BECAUSE of the video?

    Many high hopes for RhiRhi…

    Ugh you always say what is on my mind. As soon as I heard this song I was wondering why it was not so dark…David brought the song to life though. He NEVER disappoints.
