"You're working, but you're working with people who do the same thing as you. "I love being at events like this," she continues. I also love Fall Out Boy and, of course, Beyonce and Madonna. Justin Timberlake is another one I really adore. Kanye West, for instance, he has so much input into everything, and you see that it comes across as very authentic. "They have their own faith in things," she reasons, "and you can see their success. That could make the Video Music Awards challenging for Rihanna, since she'll be around many other stars she also considers inspirations. I really enjoy working with people like him, but you have to step back and say to yourself, 'OK, hold off. However, she reflects, "Being around Timbaland (on the day the VMA nominations were announced), it made me want to get back in the studio to make good music. "Good Girl Gone Bad" is still in its early phase of yielding singles (among them "Shut Up and Drive" and "Don't Stop the Music"), so Rihanna isn't actively thinking about her next album yet. After a while, it can get to be like, 'OK, do I have to perform this again?' For some reason, though, every time I perform 'Umbrella' is like the first time. "I've performed 'SOS' hundreds of times," she says, "and with something like 'Unfaithful,' it's very deep, so you have to act it out every time. She also welcomes any chance to depart from the norm. In showing hers, Rihanna says she is planning "a very special performance" for the VMAs but adds, "I won't tell you anything!" "I show them so much love because they show it in turn."

Rihanna feels the same way about MTV, which showcased her American television debut at the MTV Movie Awards in June. They'll still let me know if something was just OK or really horrible, but they're team players, for sure." "I could not ask for better cheerleaders," she says.

"It was such an honor to be there," she says. When I leave this industry, I want to be remembered for being an individual."Īmong the situations in which Rihanna has performed "Umbrella," a standout for her was Live Earth, the international July concert to promote environmental awareness. I wanted to change my image and my sound a bit, and I really wanted to show people my growth. I had a little more input on the second album, then the third album was where I really got into it.
