What Your Favorite Rihanna Song Says About You

by Alex Kritselis

If you ask me, Rihanna’s pretty much the perfect pop star. Why? Well, there are a multitude of reasons, but primarily because she doesn't take herself too seriously. One second, she’s turning heads on the red carpet at the Grammys, the picture of glamor and elegance; the next, she’s hangin' out courtside at a Lakers game, chugging beer and eating popcorn from a giant tub. SHE'S JUST LIKE US — and I adore her for it. Of course, I also adore her music. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but in my experience, the best people tend to be Navy members. It's always interesting to ask other fans which of her songs they like best, because, believe it or not, a person's favorite Rihanna song can say a lot about them.

Have you been on board since the beginning? Maybe “SOS” is your jam. Or, are you a recent Rihanna convert? In that case, perhaps “The Monster” is more your style. Whichever song you choose, it’s bound to reveal quite a bit about your personality, your hopes, your dreams, and possibly even your grooming habits! I know it sounds crazy, but it’s true: Rihanna’s music is just, like, psychic like that.

So, what does your favorite Rihanna song say about you? Oh, I've got some ideas...

If "SOS" Is Your Favorite...

Does that killer "Tainted Love" sample take you back to simpler, "better" days? You're a nostalgic person by nature. Your favorite way to start a sentence is, "Hey, remember that time..." Generally speaking, this is fine... until you have one too many glasses of wine at dinner and accidentally bring up that time when your best friend fell asleep during the midnight premiere of the last Harry Potter movie and totally ruined the sweet moment between Harry and his ghost parents by farting super loud (and was subsequently shushed by an entire row of 11-year-olds dressed as wizards). You know, that time you vowed never to speak about. Yeah, then it's just awkward.

If "Umbrella" Is Your Favorite...

You're an extremely loyal and caring person. You always make room underneath your large, Mary Poppins–sized umbrella for the ones you love (even if it means having to move over and stand in the rain for a little while). Awwwwww.

If "Take a Bow" Is Your Favorite...

You have a God-given talent for slapping people right across the damn face... with your words! Your friends know better than to mess with you when you're mad — you have a razor-sharp tongue and you're not afraid to use it.

If "Disturbia" Is Your Favorite...

You love supernatural horror movies. (Your favorite is Insidious, but Click starring Adam Sandler is a close second.)

If "Live Your Life" Is Your Favorite...

Nobody likes posting inspirational memes on Facebook more than you do. Nobody.

If "Rude Boy" Is Your Favorite...

You're an extremely confident and driven person. You know what you want, and you know exactly how to get it.

If "Only Girl (In the World)" Is Your Favorite...

Some might consider you a "needy" friend or partner — but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Yes, you can be "high-maintenance" at times, but you give your all to your relationships — it's not unreasonable to expect others to do the same.

If "What's My Name?" Is Your Favorite...

You're awesome. No, seriously: you're the best there's ever been. Go ahead and take the rest of the day off — tell your boss I said so! You've earned it.

If "S&M" Is Your Favorite...

Two words perfectly describe the way in which you live your life: DRAMA TORNADOOO!

If "We Found Love" Is Your Favorite...

You're incredibly idealistic — especially when it comes to romance. You'd love to travel back in time and find "your Mr. Darcy"... you know, just as long as you can bring your iPad and modern conveniences like running water (among other things) along with you.

If "Diamonds" Is Your Favorite...

If you were a celebrity, you'd be Elizabeth Taylor in this iconic commercial for "White Diamonds" perfume. No, I'm sorry, you can't be someone else: you're Elizabeth Taylor. It's already been decided.

If "The Monster" Is Your Favorite...

You eventually grew out of it, but you went through a pretty serious Hot Topic phase in high school. Your most prized possessions at the time? An enormous pair of JNCO jeans and a t-shirt that read: "You laugh because I'm different; I laugh because you're all the same." Oooh, biting.
