A VMA doesn't equal respect
You're trying to tell me people respected Madonna in 1990? That people thought she was a genuine, talented artist? Compared to Whitney, Janet and Celine, Madonna was nothing. You and I both know that so don't act ignorant.

Respect does come with age. Beyonce is a married woman with a child obviously she's more respected than a 25 year old young woman who is reckless and wild.

Right. I mean even with an flop album for Beys standards she still sold around the same amount as Rihanna. And Bey didn't have a number one hit single unlike Rih. So it would be stupid for Rihanna to try an compete with Beyonce especially when it comes to album sales.

Adele vs everyone is going to happen

At the age of 24 Bey was asked to perform at the SuperBowl.

We won't see it.
Rihanna ran away from the competition of November 2013 knowing that without Chris Brown controversy and a sure-fire hit single she'd likely pull Disney girl numbers.
She would never risk going up against Bey on any album-related fight lest she be trampled in to the ground.

I agree with EVERYTHING you stated, first time ever I think

Not when Rih can't open with numbers that supersede "4" ha first week sales

Welp!! I mean why would Bey be scared to release her album, when all her albums have debuted at number 1 and debuted with over 300,000 sold at that.

I was close

Shakira ft. Rihanna is coming and then Ian can bump this thread once again

This isn't funny as Rihanna's album is yet to be released and could easily be a blockbuster.

It would be a kii if she released and Bey destroyed her.

Welp, so much for that huh?
