Listening (Rihanna, Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded, "Disturbia" (2008)

I thought that it was interesting how successful Rihanna is considering that she is only twenty one years old. I feel that much of her success is because of her dynamic voice. You can immediately recognize a Rihanna song by listening to the vocals. This composition I like how she uses her own voice at the same time. Towards the end she sings lyrics while at the same time providing a backing vocal line. I also thought that it was creative how she used auto tune in some of the vocals. This is a computer effect that takes the vocals and creates a sound when the singer changes pitch quickly. The sound is similar to a slide and you can hear each pitch as the singer moves up and down.
