Juno's current annoying pop song review "Rihanna - Unfaithful"

Here's a link to lyrics if you're unfamilair with the song (you shoudl be so lucky):

Here's the gist of the tale told in the song. A woman in a relationship laments not being able to find the right guy. She's with a guy, but still searching, and is in fact seeing another man on the side, who she seems to want to be with more. She realises that she's fooling no one in her duplicity, and is hurting the first man and herself, but continues in her infidelity.

Ok, why is this song annoying? It's not the instrumental track, which isn't terrible. It's not the voice, since Rihanna is a pop star and has to sound nice to sell records.

It's the subject matter. If you're writing a song about infidelity that you cause, and how it hurts you. You're singing about YOUR OWN ACTIONS! Your own actions THAT YOU CAN CHANGE!

The song pretty much shows the mentality of people these days. They realize the consequences of their actions (sometimes) and continue to pursue them.
