Editorial Review:
International superstar, Rihanna, is ready to release GOOD GIRL GONE BAD "THE REMIXES" a new version of her double platinum, chart topping album, GOOD GIRL GONE BAD. This collection features new versions of Rihanna's hits; remixed by today's hottest dance producers including Tony Moran, Seamus Haji, Jody Den Broeder, Moto Blanco and Wideboys.
GOOD GIRL GONE BAD (released on June 5, 2007) and GOOD GIRL GONE BAD: RELOADED, featuring 3 brand new songs (released on June 17, 2008) were catapulted past the 2 million mark by three smash # 1 singles, "Umbrella," "Take A Bow" and "Disturbia." With her unprecedented chart success, Rihanna has sold over 10 million tracks. The collection has three certified multi-platinum tracks "Umbrella," "Don't Stop The Music" and "Disturbia" and the platinum tracks "Hate That I Love You," "Shut Up And Drive" and "Take A Bow."
GOOD GIRL GONE BAD has earned Rihanna three additional Grammy nominations; Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals -"If I Never See Your Face Again" with Maroon 5, Best Dance Recording - "Disturbia" and Best Long Form Music Video - GOOD GIRL GONE BAD LIVE. Last year, Rihanna was nominated for six Grammy Awards and took home "Best Rap/Sung Collaboration" for "Umbrella."
GOOD GIRL GONE BAD was the third album release in less than two years by multi-platinum MTV VMA, Grammy, and American Music Award winning artist - CoverGirl and Gucci spokesperson.
In addition to her busy working schedule Rihanna continues her tireless work with the Believe Foundation. Rihanna created the Believe Foundation in 2006 to assist and inspire children in need all over the world. Believe gives children a chance to not only survive but a chance to thrive. The foundation provides educational, financial, social and medical support whenever and wherever needed.
Good Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes Reviews:
Cause only the (Ri)Mix counts! 
2009-08-09 - Well these songs are super heavy weight, means for every DJ a must have to get the crowd
flying over the dancefloor. So go out and daaaaaaaaaaanccccccceeeeee to the music.
Ok hope my short statement was helpful, but check it out by yourself if needed....
Chris Brown please punch her again for doing this! 
2009-07-08 - Come on! How many releases are there going to be!?. This is the third release of the album Good Girl Gone Bad. Don't get me wrong that album was awesome but its getting old already and this remixes are awful. I love remixes and I'm always buying singles but this ones are not good.
Rihanna: Good Girl gone Bad: the remixes 
2009-03-04 - The album is ok, but the expections of the cd itself was not good. Returned item and refunded was not the good price. I am happy with this refune. Sorry.
Actually a pretty enjoyable set.
2009-02-17 - Okay. I think it pretty much goes without saying that Rihanna and Def Jam have, by this point, shamelessly milked Good Girl Gone Bad for all it's worth. I mean... there has been a different version of the Bajan singer's third album for each of the past three years! What's even more pathetic is that the label has never even bothered to switch up the packaging; other than the altered front cover, this remix album is pretty much identical in appearance to the original album (and the "Reloaded" version, too, for that matter). There are no new photos. The poster is the same poster from the past two releases. Even the disc and the back cover look the same. It's pretty pathetic. Def Jam could at least put in some money to alter an already two-year old design to be a little bit more discreet in their greedy endeavors. And at the end of the day, this simple fact rings true: Rihanna needs to release a completely new album and quickly. (Which probably won't happen with all this Chris Brown drama, sadly). She has released eight singles and videos, and after the slight success of "Rehab," which was a lame single choice, Rihanna will need to fight for relevancy.
With that gripe aside, this is actually a pretty enjoyable remix album. Even after the over-exposure and the overbearing amount of singles, the material on Good Girl Gone Bad has barely lost any of its irresistable nature, and these dance remixes add to it. Dance mix purists may not like this album because it only contains the edited versions of the mixes, taking some that would be eight to ten minutes and whittling them down to radio length. I really don't mind the short mixes. Quite frankly, I prefer them. This set begins with a fantastic remix of "Umbrella" by Seamus Haji and Paul Emmanuel. Tony Moran and Warren Rigg do an excellent job of turning the originally sulky "Take A Bow" into an infectious, attitude-packed club banger. The Wideboys mix of "Question Existing," one of my favorite tracks off the original album, is great. The best mix here, though, is the sensual "Say It," which has been embellished with a little Latin flair. I feel that the second mix of "Umbrella" is unnecessary, especially since its predecessor is so far superior. I'm also disappointed that--once again--"Lemme Get That" and "Sell Me Candy," two single-worthy tracks that should've replaced "Shut Up and Drive" and "Hate That I Love You," have been criminally ignored once again. Of course, this album is no masterpiece, but it is certainly a cohesive, danceable, and thoroughly enjoyable remix album that serves its purpose.
She HAS to get control over her career...
2009-02-07 - Rihanna is a truly great artist who can make some killer hit songs, but after giving us a poor re-release of her "Good Girl Gone Bad" and now a barely decent collection of remixes, it looks like her label has taken the reigns from her career and is gonna juice every bit out of one album that they can before they let her continue to grow as an artist and release any really NEW and unique material.
This collection of remixes from her two versions of "Good Girl Gone Bad" is pretty amature... instead of giving us some fun club mixes that you can find on iTunes Remix EP's, on this album we get only half enjoyable radio edits.
I really wouldn't reccomend buying this... if you need some good mixes of some recent Rihanna hits like "Disturbia", "Take A Bow", "Don't Stop The Music", etc, check out iTunes for some great EP's which come with long, very enjoyable club versions of the songs remixed by some of the world's greatest recorders.
