Premiere: Rihanna – Cheers (I’ll Drink To That)

Sandra Rose August 26, 2011

Proving that she is not an appropriate role model for young girls today, troubled singer Rihanna released her music video for her alcoholic anthem “Cheers (I’ll Drink To That)”. “Cheers” was released yesterday within hours of the release of Beyonce’s “1+1” music video.

Like Bey’s video, Rihanna’s “Cheers” is low budget and devoid of any actual directing or artistry. The mishmash of vacation shots interspersed with concert footage was filmed mostly during her recent return to her hometown of Barbados. If you’re not an alcoholic, weedhead, or hardcore Rihanna Stan, this video will bore you to tears.

Again…didn’t watch BUT these days, Rhianna will drink to anything won’t she

And whoever looked at her as a “role model” anyway??

I want to party with Rihanna

The video is ok. It has a documentary-ish feel to it. I don’t like this song though.

I can ususally ride with Rhi but not with this one.

This video was shot like a documentary…. RiRi appears to be having a blast in the video she seems an extremely fun person to hang around. I got a little dizzy at first the scenes were changing so fast.

@Pa Hariston I am sorry for your lost and my prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time….

I can’t tolerate to listen to her voice for more than 60 seconds, so I watched with the volume low.

BUT, there were a couple of nice visuals though.

Auntie clearly you dont like Rhi Rhi anymore…Im glad, not a fan myself
screwball69

Snooty,

This video reminds me of a modern day remake of “Diggin’ On You.” I remember when TLC made that video, I was confused as hell as to what was going on as a kid. At that time, I had never seen a concert/documentary as a music video.
Mamacita

@Snooty Hey girl! I got my MCs. There’s a beauty store here that carries it. I’m gonna try it out this weekend!
Daisy

I would do a good/bad and ugly but I haven’t seen the video yet but I do like this song and RiRi

@eb I swear snoots n boots is so funny to me and I don’t know why

to all

@FeFe Once somebody *looks over at Eb* pointed out bey says Algebah I died laughing I so didn’t catch that at 1st
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 SnootyPooty

@mamacita…. LOL did you get the shampoo as well. After you wash your hair make sure that you put the leave in conditioner in evenly I always separate my hair into sections.

@Daisy it makes me laugh as well she cracks me up even after all of this time

@Screwball. I agree
lovezoe

This was my first time hearing the song. Not really a fan of the song, but the video is cute. I like when artists do these types of videos. It is good to see people in their natural, relaxed state. She seems a ball to be around!
lovezoe

I still rocks with Diggin on You! *goes to Youtube to watch the video*
WUTWUZMISSIN!

Okay I suffered through this just to see…

I got one question? For a song that suppose to be upbeat and fun Why does it sound kinda sad and draggish. IMO Her tone in the song doesn’t match with what she is singing.

My sister had a record player and for laughs she would put a record on and play it really fast to make people sound like chipmunks or slow like they are drunk..
She is showing shots of having fun but she it like someones playing a 45 in 33 (Old heads know what I’m talking about)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9d9FA3fCf4 FeFe

@Daisy

when she says that I cringe a little every time…
!*LaKErCHiC@*!

WUTWUZMISSIN!

Okay Imma go into lurk mode until later or a post comes I can relate too.. See yall!

When I was younger my momma had one of those old school cabinets with the speakers and the turntable/8track in the middle that you had to lift up. I took my cousin’s Hooked on Phonics tape deck and wired it to the cabinet. Had the house rockin until them old ass paper woofers wore out.

That white man “Clean” said “Daddy’s Gotta Sweet Tooth Tonight!” That chit would have made me shat in my draws….the white man basically admitted that he rapes me and then sells them like a fukking pimp..that was scary…
lovezoe

I DVR’d it. I am watching the one now when the boy had sex on the bus. If I was the parent, they WOULD stay in that sucka for a week. A few hours does nothing.
http://youtu.be/wHTo_QgKM5g chibytex

These kids gotta want more outta their lives…sad thing is THIS particular lil boy had his mother and FATHER in his life…he was just trying to be something his aint…a fukking THUG!!!

Hey errrrybody!

Her voice (fingernails across chalkboard)

@nydiva4u – Check out Cancun Palace (go to promotional tour) you have to listen to their sales blur, but free drinks and you get to pick a spa treatment, jungle tour (which is really scuba diving) or mayan tour. We picked jungle tour and spa treatment (it was faboulus) Did I mention free drinks. Have fun I’ll drink to that!

I got a sweet tooth
Daisy

@lovezoe I am glad some of them seem to turn things around after visiting the jail. Last night I felt so bad for the gma cause 2 of the 3 grandkids she raised were already in prison and the youngest brother was trying to follow suit and he is way to small to be in anybodys prison. I hate that so many of our young black kids are lost and its not just the inner city anymore
!*LaKErCHiC@*!

@FEFE MY BABY MY HUSSSBAND MY LOOOVE MY WORLD WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING… *DENIAL IS A B1SH** ME N HIM R IN
lovezoe

These kids fail to realize their homies not gone be there for you when it’s all said and done. Most will snitch on you before a deal is even offered. They not gone visit you, put money on the book, NAYTHING!
caligirl

@ chibytex – I finally got to watch it last night. When he said my friend he got he sweet tooth, he likes chocolate. I thought that shizz was funny as hell.
http://youtu.be/wHTo_QgKM5g chibytex

@ Lakes…. I know between Clean and Diabla I’d just hang myself….cause that’s a fukking nightmare to have to deal with EVERYDAY!!!

Then the OFFICER and Mr. “Clean” directed him to the “Honeymoon Suite”….so I’m assuming that’s the room where it goes down in…and the officers KNOW all about this and dont do nothing….

Uhmm that’s scary!!!
lovezoe

@CHIBY, them officers probably scared Clean gone try to get them a taste if they interrupt his rendezvous.

caligirl

@lakerchic – What about ole girl that was in for double murder. She was really soft spoken. She probably the type to cut your azz and you wouldn’t even know until you standing over your body, wondering whut the hell happened.
!*LaKErCHiC@*!

Daisy

@chib I couldn’t get past him saying Lil Boosie either and they were in Charlotte I was not proud to be from that area that night the other kid who was the hacker was just to smart for his own good but I need him to hack into my credit report
CookieMonsterZ

Not a Stan, but I liked the song! It’s great for pre-partying. Anybody else notice Avril Lavigne’s voice/appearance?

Also, I agree with the others who said they liked the documentary-style to the vid.
!*LaKErCHiC@*!

@DAISY THAT LIL SMART FUKA SHOULD BE PUTTING ALL THAT DAM ENERGY TO STACK UP HIS MONEY LEGALLY WHAT A WASTE!!
lovezoe

When he said Lil Boosie, officer hung up the phone! Out of all the rapper, why Lil Boosie, why?! Why, why?

Daisy

@lake He did change and said he wants to go to MIT I don’t think he was “bad” per se just bored I think he will be ok

at the cornbread line RIP Bernie

I think some of these families need counseling. Parents don’t realize what domestic violence does to a child. Imagine how you would react if you saw a man put a gun in your mama face. I would fight everyone in sight to.
caligirl

@zoe – Now that was just SAD. Her mama need to go to scared straight program too. Her daughter was hurt and damaged, due to her nonsense.
Lovely One

I LOVE the song. The video is cute too. Did anyone see Kanye giving Rihanna the face?

Anyways the song is HOT
Dee1127

The song is kinda catchy…

I’ll drink to anything though!!!

Cheers Bishesssssssss!!
kingstonn

aw, i know exactly where she filmed this.
and i agree, this song is catchy as hell.
Crickett

I liked it, especially Avril Lavigne’s “yeah, yeah”. Nothing different than Katy Perry’s Friday and Kesha’s Tik Tok. I listen to radio stations that play Adele, Katy Perry, Kesha, Brittney Spears and Selena Gomez (I have teenager girls and a four year old). Those white girls have catchy, fun lyrics. Turn on urban radio and you hear nothing but butt songs- I pass. I’m not bought out- I listen to grown folks music-Ledisi, Kem and Jill Scott…IJS.
Daisy

@Cricket I listen to various kinds of music but only mainly buy neo soul artist for the most part and a few hip hop ppl (TI/Kanye/Outkast/Nas) I love me a good catchy pop song though I have a few of Rihannas cds and I love them. Kathy keeps her a hit song on the radio. I went to a YT middle school so I feel in love with pop/rock way back in the day.
