• I am sorry to report that this article is being failed. It has been unfortunately been nominated very prematurely, and should be copy-edited and completely re-done. I will list several outstanding issues (of many).

• Prose are fairly poor.  Done calvin999 (talk) 18:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
  • "Musically, the song derives genres"?  Done calvin999 (talk) 18:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
  • "The lyrics of the song see Rihanna declaring her fetishes."  Done calvin999 (talk) 18:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
  • "The song charted successfully"  Done calvin999 (talk) 18:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
  • "punishing the members of the media who have hurt her, including gossip blogger Perez Hilton" How so?  Done calvin999 (talk) 18:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

• MoS
  • Awkward paragraphing throughout  Done calvin999 (talk) 18:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

• Content
  • The article is running fairly short on info for the "Background" section. For a song this popular, and that was famously remixed after its release, it could have a much more developed section.  Done calvin999 (talk) 18:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

• Sources - this section is, forgive me, disastrous
  • Several, several un-reliable sources, not properly formatted refs etc. This section needs a lot of work.

• • • This article is being failed, but nice work so far. I hope to see it re-nominated soon after being thoroughly fixed. Good luck!--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 07:43, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
