Do a little more research, please
The song is actually a metaphor. This isn't the first song Common Sense has misinterpreted, and I'm getting annoyed.

Dont let the beat fool you
i only listened to this song because i was curious! I didnt know! I had forgotten what russian roulette is. The lyrics make me think about death and are definitley not for ppl's under 16. ;_;

Fine for teens...plus kids don't know what it means
Just relax with this one. It's not promoting suicide or anything, it's just a storyline with a pretty catchy hook. Her album is "Rated R," but this is PG at the most.

Too slow
I stop listening to this song at the beginning because it was so boring. I expected better from Rihanna.

Not for your little kids to listen to this song
It's a song tht is A sweet slow song (unusual for Rhianna)
Though it has mentions of guns and violent themes I would say it's best ofr ages 13 and up because it mentions suicide quite alot thorughout the song and kids under the age of 13 do not need to be lsitening to this song

A metaphorical song; may be taken literally.
This song is about bad relationships and the chances are that you may lose that game, but there are a few violent metaphors that may be taken seriously: "If you play, you play for keeps. Take a gun and count to 3" and "So just pull the trigger". Russian Roulette is also slow and slightly boring, so it may not appeal to kids and teens anyway.

Great song, may send some bad messages
Oh my god people are stupid! The songs not about suicide! The lyrics refer to the game of love in which you take chances even though anyone can get hurt. It's a great song, but very dark and forboding, and may send the wrong messages to some.

Okay i agree with the last reviewer because one it is on about a bad relationships and though it talks about sucide did you ever think that 13 year olds think of that (not me) but still this age group can handle stuff like this okay and THE ONE THING I HATE ABOUT THIS SITE THEY RATE THINGS WAY TO HARSHLY!

Too slow...but not about suicide.
This song technically isn't about suicide, Rihanna has actually clarified that. She says it's about falling in love again after a bad relationship. I simply don't like the song, it's too slow for me.

Beautiful Melody With Atrocious, Offensive Lyrics
I have been a huge Rihanna fan for several years now, but as soon as I heard this song I was heavily offended. I love the melody of this song, so that's why I gave it 3 stars. The talk about suicide though... that goes against everything I stand for. Life is to precious to end with your own hand, and i prefer to live mine to the fullest.

Depressing and Dark... This is NOT for kids.
This song is so depressing... I don't get why you would wanna hear it it's just so dark! Also, the music video is dark too and it shows some blood. It's kinda also creepy. Basically, the song is about suicide and in a way it almost sounds like it's encouraging to play russian roulette if your thinking about it. In the end, you hear a gun shot, so whoever was playing russian roulette, well.... they lost. But 13 year olds can handle the song. Not for anybody younger though, the gun shot my scare the kiddos, and it's way to hard to explain what it's about to a little kid.

Dark, but fine for 14+
The song really isn't about suicide, it's a metaphor. Rihanna seems to be commenting on women who stay in abusive relationships. Hence the lyric: "He says, ’Close your eyes, sometimes that helps."
