VIDEO FAB: Rihanna's "Where Have You Been" Video

In a desert tribal dancer themed video, Rihanna flexes her choreographed dance skills for the first time in her "Where Have You Been" visuals.  Check out the full video inside...

She donned an animal print scarf for a mysterious look, a head full of curls for a seductive look & long tresses which had a pirate-like feel all while dancing it up to her euro-dance beat track.

The tribal vibe of the video was conjured up by director Dave Meyers and took place over two 17-hour days.  Rihanna started off with a medieval goddess rise from the water and continued with tribal dance-heavy scenes, choreographed by Hi-Hat, which she said were necessary for this type of song.  Check it below:

 

You feelin' it?

I knew it wouldnt be long

I knew it wouldnt be long till the Illuminutty people found their way here. Anything can be turned to illuminatI SO IM NOT SUPRISED. What I question though is the people who know so much about it and make their lives pointing out things being apart of the illuminati how do they know so much where they once part of it, are the rejected recruits, maybe they are members who take time to slander the celebrities to subliminally tell people what they can do to join and how they can convert.. have you guys ever thought about that??

It's a good video. And I loved how the choreographer kept things simple and sleek. It's mostly arm movements and Rihanna did well with everything except for the hip action at the end. Two thumbs up!

Ok first let me say that I

Ok first let me say that I love this video. Her dancing, her voice, her looks through out the entire video are stunning. Now let me say this everybody who says that her dancing was off and she looked stiff i disagree, everybody who says beyonce dances better I also disagree. When you wind your waste or do any dance from the islands its about seduction slow seductive winding not hard fast gyrating there is a difference She was smooth and flawless with her dancing through the entire video. The video's rihanna does are amazing because she never makes it the obvious. She is not in a club looking for some man who is randomly shirtless while everybody else is dancing all close, She showed that she has searched for this being all over basically depicting her search in various different scenes. Also the fact that she made a dance/pop song and turned it into a African cultured visual is amazing because anybody else wouldnt have done that, I know she didnt produce the video but she stared in it and it was flawless. Take beyonce's deja vu for instance and baby boy. all that rolling around in the dirt spazzing out and shit if you call that dancing you are sick

AT LEAST IT WAS SOMETHING

AT LEAST IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND SHE DIDNT STEAL THE CONCEPT FROM ANYBODY..AHEM.. LIKE OTHER ARTISTS DO...I GIVE HER PROPS FOR TAKING RISKS SOMETIMES AND NOT TRYING TO DO WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING AND CALLING IT BEING"INSPIRED"...EVEN THOUGH I DONT LIKE THE SONG LOL AND BECAUSE I DONT LIKE THE SONG I DONT CARE FOR THE VIDEO BUT IT WASNT HORRIBLE AS SOME OF YOU ARE MAKING IT SEEM!

Music sounds like all of her songs. Dance is a copy or knock-off of the song done by Beyonce with the tribal overtones
