Don't take it out on Rihanna...she's actually a pretty talented artist. They should have had P and The Time together or just The Time themselves with a medley of their stuff...but if things were never squashed after the 777 debacle then I understand why they are not dealing with each other today. Ooooooh Jellybean was on Fiyah the night after in MPLS. FIYAH I tell you. -P

Honestly it wasn't very good. Rihanna's songs were shoe horned into the Time's sound, the end result.... Not so good :-P The only time I have seen this work was in Janet Jackson "Control" video http://youtube.com/watch?v=4EleKwkt_fU. Why did this work? Well obvious it was 1980s and Terry and Jimmy were still using that sound. They have since moved on from it and it shows in Rihanna's music. This was awful! No wonder Morris was annoyed. I don't think he was in character for this interview. I would be angry too if my career revolved around 1 character I do really well and can't make real money off of. It's even worst to have to play 2nd fiddle to a some talentless chick that hit song is about her stupid umbrella...
