Pop music aint my beat at EW.
I grew up on classical, then switched to your typical twenty-something white-dude indie rock sometime around college.
We heardYeah,by Usher,prettygood, but only that.
(And since tainted forever byHitch.)
But it came out in the spring.
And last summer was a disaster.
And after the jump, Rihanna will sing it to us at the EW 100 party!
So lets just skip to the closer.
What do you think?
