NME Reviews "We Found Love" - Professional Review

http://www.nme.com/reviews/rihanna/12332 "...Ri-Ri sounds extremely relaxed; her vocal sounds luxurious calling to mind the atmosphere (and the melody) of 'Louds 'Complicated'.The over-all effect is underwhelming. Instead of re-inventing the pop wheel like she's done before (oh hai 'Umbrella') this has a whiff of treading-water about it. If there is a 'goosebump' moment to be had it comes after many multiple plays and, dare we say it, a glass of something strong. " --West231 (talk) 23:10, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Rolling Stone Magazine - We Found Love (Review)

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/songreviews/we-found-love-20110926 "is much ado about very little indeed. Scottish Euro-dance specialist Calvin Harris tosses pumped-up synths and 4/4 beats at an insipid tune and half-baked romantic catch-phrase - "We found love in a hopeless place" - which RiRi repeats approximately 350 times, hoping it will start to mean something. It's the worst single of Rihanna’s career." --West231 (talk) 04:57, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Agyness Deyn as narrator

Just thought the editors should know that Rihanna stated herself that Agyness Deyn is the voice of the narrator (even though she misspelled her name).

Not at the moment. There isn't enough info for a sub-section, hence why I wrote "Possible sub section. You need to learn to give things time, Ben. There is no rush. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 10:25, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

When you start a section entitled possible sub-section, I take it that you want it. What would you like me to say? BenWasHere (talk) 10:55, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

If there is as much controversy info as S&M (song) or Man Down, then it can have a sub section. But if it is just these two sources reporting on the same thing, it is likely to only be 2/3 sentences long, so it might as well be put into the Reception section. But I haven't really looked since the other day, so more info on the group might be available now, I don't know. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 16:02, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

What controversy was that? Did Rihanna steal the song from her? Of course not, no one has the guilt that Leona refused to release it as a lead single. It can be placed somewhere, but definitely not controversy. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 10:04, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Coldplay cover

Perhaps the previous post meant to bring your attention to this: http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/10/coldplay_we_found_love.html ??? (Coldplay has covered the song.) I'm not sure it warrants an edit, nor is this an edit request, this is just me bringing this to the attention of the main editors of this article.--mikomango mwa! 23:18, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Should be noted in the article. Whether it's "pretty awful" or not. — Status {^talk_contribs 17:15, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

It can be added when Rihanna performs We Found Love, then it can be a Live performances and covers section. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 17:16, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorry Status, I didn't mean to upset you by calling the cover "pretty awful" (if you're a Coldplay lover!!!)--mikomango mwa! 01:22, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Music video section

The section is pretty big, and will probably end up getting bigger. Create into a new article similar to Michael Jackson's Thriller perhaps? With all the controversy surrounding it and background info, it seems like it would be a good idea. — Status {^talk_contribs 17:20, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

It's no different to Run the World (Girls) or Criminal (Britney Spears song). I just looked at Michael Jackson's Thriller and I think that We Found Love needs more info, as it's not as big as Thiller's. It doesn't have any awards (yet). And how would it impact the Music video section on the We Found Love? Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 17:25, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

"Run the World" should probably have its own too. Music video sections are getting WAY too big. There's nothing wrong with that, but it would be so much better if they had their own page. The section on the article would probably have to be shrunken down if it was to go to GA anyway, so it would be a win win to create its own article. The shruken down version could just be used for the article, and then add a nice little "see also" or "futher information" tag. — Status {^talk_contribs 17:36, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Tested it out in my sandbox. — Status {^talk_contribs 17:42, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Compared to Thriller, I don't think there is enough. The section is highly unlikely to get any bigger than what it is now. I think when the video gets some awards, or at least some nominations, it would seem more worth it. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 17:51, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Even if it receives awards, it may not need a separate article, right? Unless it turns into a major cultural phenomenon that people can't stop discussing when they discuss the year 2011, the way Thriller impacted its release year and the arc of Michael Jackson's career.--mikomango mwa! 01:21, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I just think it's far too early to consider it. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 01:26, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Taking into consideration what you are all saying, should "Single Ladies"'s video have its own article then? ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:18, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

I can see Beyonce's "Single Ladies" warranting its own article over "We Found Love" (just yet, at least).--mikomango mwa! 19:18, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Singles Ladies music video section is nowhere hear the size of what We Found Love, Criminal or Run the World are. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 15:43, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Have you seen the cultural impact of the video, its awards, critical reception, the analysis by critics, etc? That's the kind of video that needs a separate article. If it was as you said, i would have done a separate article for "Run the World". ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 16:13, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

The Singles Ladies section doesn't have the same amount of info as the other three. Run the World should have it's own article I think. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 16:23, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

No, as long as it did not have a cultural impact like Thriller, that's a big NO for me. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 16:38, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

It's not solely about cultural impact. The music video subsections are too big for the article now, it should have it's own article, especially as it has had award nominations. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 16:39, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

What? WFL video got an award? Where? If ever you are taking into consideration the controversy it had, i want to remind you that even "Countdown" had a huge controversy. It was even shown on several news channel in Europe and even in my own country (Not a joke). ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 16:42, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict) No, I'm talking about Run the World!! Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 16:43, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, if it appears on several lists of Best Videos of 2011, i will considering separating it. And now, you tell me. WFL has no award and yet you want a separate article? ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 16:47, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

I didn't want to make one for We Found Love yet, because it has no awards, but someone added a lot of info about comparisons with Britney's Criminal, and how I think the 5 sub sections are just far too big for the article, it's the biggest music video section I have seen, apart from Thriller, but I don't want to cut any info. So I think it would perhaps benefit from being put into a separate article now. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 16:51, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Start a discussion, like i usually do. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:03, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

"alleged" assault?

"ex-boyfriend Chris Brown's alleged assault on Rihanna"

In what universe was the assault merely alleged? Did he not ultimately plead guilty and get penalized by the court for his actions? I'm confused by the word "alleged" in this sentence, because it implies that the assault may not have taken place. Allegations are brought before the court, the word "alleged" makes sense if one is describing the initial criminal procedure, but several years after the fact, the word "alleged" seems inappropriate.--mikomango mwa! 15:42, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Legally you are mean't to say alleged I think, as we as the public, ultimately don't know what really happened. Though I do believe he did assault him. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 16:20, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

To the best of my knowledge, you are legally required to say alleged until the case is closed and the person has been found guilty (Brown plead guilty). This is why you don't see the word "alleged" in every article of or related to the assault that has been published in the last two years, because he was guilty. If the case was still in a California court now, then the word "alleged" would be appropriate. Sorry, but the word "alleged" is not appropriate in this instance as Brown plead guilty and the case was closed. I am requesting that the word "alleged" be removed as Brown was legally found guilty by his own admission.--mikomango mwa! 17:16, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Ask someone else for a third opinion, because I don't know. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 17:31, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Alleged: (adj.) Represented as existing or as being as described but not so proved; supposed. ... An alleged incident is an event that is said to have taken place but has not yet been verified. Brown himself apologized for the incident and the assault was confirmed and charged for. —WP:PENGUIN · ^{[ TALK ]} 18:26, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you so much Penguin!!! :-) Thank you for making the edit as well. Much obliged!--mikomango mwa! 19:06, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Genre?

The genre says electro house and dance-pop. But what I'm trying to say is, I would've never changed the genre if it was in the composition section, sourced. But I want to remove dance-pop in the infobox because there is still another section in the article that has sourced genres. lyriclegendlover (talk) 21:01, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I have no clue what you want to have accomplished here. But, "We Found Love" is slight on lyrical depth, but the dance pop production from Calvin Harris is flawless — Status {^talk_contribs 21:19, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I don't really understand what you are getting at. Also, Status, please check your talk page. Calvin • ^TalkThatTalk 21:22, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

What I want to accomplish is removing dance-pop in the infobox, but having it sourced in the composition section, like it already is. lyriclegendlover (talk) 23:07, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Why do you want to remove it? There is no reason to remove. Songs aren't always just one genre, you know. Calvin • ^TalkThatTalk 23:09, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

It sounds more like electro house to me than dance-pop. lyriclegendlover (talk) 23:21, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

It's not about what it sounds like to you, it's about what the professional reviewers say it is. Electro-house is in the info box anyway, so I don't see what the problem is? Calvin • ^TalkThatTalk 23:22, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

But even if we remove dance-pop from the infobox, it will still be sourced — in the composition section. lyriclegendlover (talk) 23:25, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

What does that achieve? Nothing, apart from not listing the genre of the song in the info box. I don't understand why you are making such a deal about this. Calvin • ^TalkThatTalk 23:27, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

It will still be sourced. Even if we remove dance-pop in the infobox it will still say it — in the composition. lyriclegendlover (talk) 23:32, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

But I don't understand why you want to remove it? Loads of articles have 2/3/4 genres in the info box, that's the whole point of the parameter, to show the source genres. You have no valid reason to remove it, so know that if you do, then it will be reverted. I'm not going to keep on repeating myself here. Calvin • ^TalkThatTalk 23:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Calvin, I give you: Template:Outdent, with which you can indicate to other editors that you are intentionally outdenting. Readers can follow the thread more easily. (Hope you don't mind me fondling your post to demonstrate it.) — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 17:17, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

And Ian, I (also) don't understand why you want to remove a sourced genre from the infobox. What's your reasoning? — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 17:17, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Genre? 2

Why is there such a complaint about the fact that "dance-pop" and "electro house" should be arranged in a certain order? It's only two genres.
PS: I know that the reason why is because to go in alphabetical order. But I'm still questioning why there is such a huge deal about this. Ian Streeter (talk) 01:39, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Rules are rules. Calvin • ^TalkThatTalk 01:39, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

But there is no rule that covers this! Ian Streeter (talk) 01:43, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Photos

Aren't the photos of Whitney, Madonna and Mariah somewhat remote from the subject ? -- Beardo (talk) 05:32, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

• I agree. They don't pertain to Rihanna, or more specifically "We Found Love" at all. Till I Go Home (talk) 11:38, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
  • If an artist is mentioned in an article a picture is appropriate for inclusion. She broke a record with this song and three artists are mentioned, thus their pictures are appropriate. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 23:37, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

BPM and Key

I don't have a citation but the bpm is actually 128 (not 120 as stated) and the key is somewhat of a blend between Eb minor and Gb major (not necessarily worth changing, I guess). I would appreciate help finding citations for this because short of me video taping myself listening to the song and showing a metronome, I'm not really sure where to find this information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewbo19 (talk • contribs) 22:34, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

You will have to find a source for it. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 04:27, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Charts

Personally I do not feel that the following charts need to be here:

Australian Urban Chart - It does not seem significant enough. The main chart is enough and this urban chart is not used on any other Rihanna article.

Poland Dance Top 50 - Again, does not seem significant. Official airplay one is enough.

Romanian Top 100 - Does not ever lead anywhere. If there is no reliable source then it needs deleting.

Venezuala Pop/Rock Songs - If there is no official chart for main singles then there is no need for genred charts apart from the UK and U.S. which are dominant countries.

I will go ahead and delete the Romanian one as it is dead. I have also deleted Brazil as it is another dead link. Can I go ahead and delete the other ones? Assistance needed. PhoenixJHudson (talk) 16:56, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

An overall official chart for main singles does exist for Record Report. It would still be unadvised to remove it at any rate. Typically when a song doesn't chart on the main one, the genre component could be used. Kww knows more about it than I do though, so ask him. Erick (talk) 17:33, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

C-CLASS

This was interesting to read. Well done, but I notice it is a C-class article. Surely this is better than a C-class? How do you move it up and get it to good article status? Anyway, good luck, I think I wanna help improve it, but don't know where to start. It looks amazing already! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.77.233 (talk) 17:39, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes I know. I am doing it, don't worry. The song is still making an impact on charts. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 18:19, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

This is ridiculous! What was wrong with this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We_Found_Love&diff=486240899&oldid=486240648 You gave the explanation Not sourced. You dont even know what you are saying! What do you mean not sourced. I am removing information which is not needed, it doesnt need a source. You are really peeing me off now. JUST WHY CALVIN?!!!! Just because you know i cant rever edits. I want to scream!!!!! I hope this is the reaction you want, because I am here and Im staying so get used to it! PhoenixJHudson (talk) 11:38, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Erm, yes I did give a reason and I don't believe my edits had ANYTHING to do with yours? Who is victimizing now???? Aaron • ^{You Da One} 16:57, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

One of Best-Selling Singles Worlwide

The song has sold 4.5 million in US. 1.3 million in UK. And has around 5 more certifications worldwide.

Top Ingles chart

I've been editing the article for both the Mexican and Venezuelan charts and I have a question. Since the Top 20 General Monitor and the Billboard Mexico charts are already listed, I am unsure of adding Monitor Latino Top Ingles chart. I don't want to over flood the already populated chart list, but at the same time, it topped the Ingles chart in Mexico, which what I am asking. EDIT: I've added it, but if it's undesirable, feel free to revert. Erick (talk) 17:33, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

18 Months

Why does it say not to add 18 Months. Because on other articles, it lists multiple albums songs are on so why not here? 85.210.187.56 (talk) 22:23, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

For the very simple reason that "We Found Love" was only released as a single from Talk That Talk and not from 18 Months. That's the reason it's only mentioned in the text that was later included in the album. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 22:26, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. 85.210.187.56 (talk) 22:31, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

18 Months

Harris broke the record for the most top ten singles from an album with 8 but only 7 have been released which must mean we found love counts so it should be add right?--Onlythetruthisappropriate (talk) 11:55, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on We Found Love. Please take a moment to review my edit.
