Although most critics insist that Unapologetic is not the singerвЂ™s best work, it is the only of her albums to ever top the US albums chart. Universal created the contest to promote вЂњDiamonds,вЂќ the first single off of RihannaвЂ™s seventh and latest studio album, Unapologetic. вЂњWeвЂ™re pumped about it all!вЂќ said NYU junior John Phillips, who both sang and edited vocals for the video. NYU Local reached out to other singers and producers involved with the Clive Davis вЂњDiamondsвЂќ video, and although many insisted upon waiting to confirm the report until Rihanna and Def Jam make an official announcement - which is expected to come next week - a few couldnвЂ™t help expressing excitement. NYU freshman Cari Fletcher, a singer in the video, made the following announcement to her Facebook artist page on January 25th of this year: вЂњJust found out Clive Davis Institute won the Rihanna вЂDiamondsвЂ™ cover competition!!!! SheвЂ™ll be coming to visit us and hang out at NYU this spring!вЂќ Rihanna herself was then to select the best rendition, whose creators would get a personal visit from the diva.ДЄlthough Rihanna and Def Jam have yet to publicly announce the winner, NYU Local has been tipped that our Clive Davis classmates in fact won the contest, and as a result, Rihanna will be visiting NYUвЂ™s campus to meet the winners this spring. The contest was simple: Create a video rendition of вЂњDiamonds,вЂќ upload it to YouTube, and submit the video to Universal. Well, what you may not remember - or may have never known - is that the video was made as part of a contest created by Universal Music Group, which owns Def Jam Recordings, RihannaвЂ™s record label.

Remember how the Internet freaked out about it and thought it was the best thing in the world? And remember how you totally rolled your eyes and acted like it was no big deal but secretly bragged about it to all of your state school friends?
