MY biggest fan. Y'all gotta give it up to him. He dedicates his signatures to ME, he quotes all of MY posts, he references ME in every thread he posts in and/or brings ME up. So much time & energy dedicated to ME. Oh, the obsession. I am honored that I am so deserving of all this ATTENTION, actually. Wow.

Rihanna, 'Talk That Talk' – First Listen
By Priya ElanPosted on 14/11/11 at 11:05:20 am
'You Da One'
From the hand of Dr Luke comes this smile-inducing potion of dancehall meets Scandinavian pop nous. It makes us think of Ace Of Base, with its bouncey early 90s vibe. “Yes, I’m falling hard but there’s nothing wrong with that,” Rihanna sings, sounding, for what feels like the first time in ages, light and happy.
There is a Whitney Houston reference in the chorus too (“Your love is my love / my love is your love,”) which is no bad thing.

It's okay but it doesn't sound like a #1 but a shout out to Whitney for using her 'my love is your love' line

A darkness keeps Rihanna's sparkle in check on Talk That Talk
By JOEY GUERRA, MUSIC WRITER
Published 06:10 p.m., Monday, November 21, 2011
At its best, the record delves into legitimate components of club music while retaining accessibility. Where Have You Been? showcases a fuzzy trance groove, complete with peaks and valleys.
You Da One chugs along a dancehall/dubstep beat while paying lyrical tribute to Whitney Houston's My Love Is Your Love. Minute-long interlude Birthday Cake snakes through suggestive lyrics and a hypnotic beat (and should have been extended into a full song).
