Rihanna - Only girl in the world

From looking at the lyrics and the video I think Rihanna is talking about wanting a particular guy to love her like she's the only girl that he will ever love. I also think that she is refering to them sleeping together and she makes sexual comments towards him about this such as, "hold me like a pillow, make me feel right" From looking at the video wich is set outside in LA we can see that Rihanna is a very powerful strong person as she shows know sign of sadness or fear about being alone, almost as if she is trying to show him that she's his perfect girl.

In an interview with, Rihanna explained the filming of the video and the video's simplistic theme, "It's really, really beautifully shot in these crazy, crazy, crazy places, We shot landscapes that we found a couple hours outside of L.A. It looks so unreal. It looks fake, like something out of a postcard with the beautiful hills… We had a lot of sunshine those couple of days, so it really worked with the whole essence of the video. But really, the video just shows this big landscape and the only person there is me" I think she has tried to make her video very girly and appealing to her, to show the guy what she really has to offer. The whole video is very saturated and full of colour. It opens up with her stood in the field which looks at first like she is wearing pearly white clothing, I think that she is reffering to herself the way she is stood as some sort of angel with high importance and extreamly powerful however, her hair is fiery red which although it could mean love it is also a sign of danger, fear and devil like. It gives me the impression that she is trying to portray this perfect image but yet is still showing him her bad side. When I look closer at her the clothes she is wearing have actually been tinted these colours and the way they move in the wind look like a strong flame.

The whole theme of the video is closely linked with the style of her album cover "LOUD" which again is showing by the title that she is not this sweet quiet person. There are quite a lot of long shots of her, the colour is quite saturated into yellows and oranges which is the colours of happiness but also the colour of fire. She has various clothes changes, she changes near the start of the video to quite a skimpy white top with a flowery skirt, the skirt however I think think looks quite childlike. She is smiling and looks quite happy. It looks to me like she has created her idea of perfection, basically saying that if he was with her everything would be so perfect. The way she dances and stands next to the flowery bushes looks she she is trying to tease him. She is also pictured in some extreme close up shots which I think are aimed to get her image out so that people can see, she also looks very fashionable.

The song is quite a fast paced song and the way she moves she is again showing her power. When she is stood alone in the field we see all the flowers blow quite violently around her, almost as is she has great powers, she also talks to the camera with quiet a fiesty angry look which looks like she is quite mean and maybe controlling. Overall I like her video as I think it is very creative and well thought out, and is very appealing to her as an individual
