RiRi's new look has done wonders for her career. And, of course, having Jay-Z on your single doesn't hurt either.
Film: While the popstar's Jigga-assisted Umbrella is a highlight for its explosive special effects, it doesn't raise this live DVD to an excellent release. What it is, however, is a hair-tossing, hair-raising scream-fest peppered with slow jams here and there.
Almost as though she's been taking lessons in leather whips and bondage from Janet Jackson, Rihanna presents her new music and her new S&M-inspired look for little over an hour
. The pseudo-dominatrix performs old favourites like Pon De Replay (which she opens with) and the mega-hit Unfaithful.
Features: Behind-the-scenes mini-doccie on the princess of Def Jam.
