Is Rihanna Gone Bad?


19 year old Rihanna born in the Barbados was a normal girl until she came into her singing career. She suddenly changed from and innocent girl into a whole new person.

Rihanna started off being a sweet innocent girl and that’s how people started to portray her, as and “innocent girl.” Rihanna wanted to get out of that shell and change it up a bit.

Rihanna herself said, “I wanted to get out of my innocent, generic shell that everyone is used to molding me into,” says Rihanna in the June/July issue of GIANT magazine. “I was like, ‘to hell with that!’”

As you can probably tell she is sick of her innocent look and she wanted to be something different and wanted people to look at her as a different person as she gets older. When she released her new single Umbrella, she was a whole new person. Her hair was cut shorter which made her look a little older and mature and the clothes she was wearing in her music video where something you would never think she would wear. She wanted to change from an innocent girl to “sexy girl” which she is now.

I think Rihanna went out of her element and did what she wanted. She took risks and people still love her music. I don’t think she is totally gone bad, maybe she has changed a bit but everybody changes when they get older. There are many other party girls like Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton and more but I don’t think Rihanna will go into their kind of world where there is drinking and doing drugs.
Here is Rihannas video from when she first started to sing "If its lovin' that you want"


Here is Rihanna Video Umbrella. Do you think she changed?
