But then he's gonna win (or BajanBeauty, but I think Will will get it tho).

And her hair was on point, straight out the salon.

VilsonMuqa

Wooow! Look at you girl!
Words can't describe how PROUD I am to be part, of the historic RihannaNavy & the journey with our girl Rihanna.
Like every bitch fight with other stanbases was worth it, to defend her.
Started the slayage with "Pon De Replay" and marked her voice in our generations music with "Umbrella", "Disturbia", "Only Girl", "What's My Name", "We Found Love", "Diamonds" & "Stay"!
They doubted u, they said u would be a One Hit Wonder.
They doubted u, on having a #1 album, but u slayed their souls with "Unapologetic"!
That Rihanna Reign Just Wont Let Up!
Special THANK YOU, for not forgettin the Navy! U're always showing so much love to us!

Message from Rih to us:

AMAs ‏@TheAMAs 17h
#Navy! @Rihanna wishes she could "hug all of you right now where you are" after being honored with the Icon Award. http://bcove.me/4mul9hr0

AlienFugitive

I think she sold around 27M+ albums worldwide? Idk, here's the receipts thread.

AlienFugitive

Oh, and she has 6 Grammys, that one is true.

Idk who this blogger is but this is probably the greatest Rihanna analysis I've ever read.
Kinda long but a good read

Quote:

The statistics are telling, but her real impact is harder to quantify: Rihanna occupies a substantial space in our culture, and after eight years of consistent releases, any amount of time in which she doesn’t give us new music feels comparatively vacant. Even in 2013, a year with a particularly high concentration of marquee music releases, we could feel her absence.

Quote:

Listen to some of the pop music that’s out right now—Katy Perry’s Prism, Lorde’s Pure Heroine, Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz, and even Lady Gaga’s widely panned Artpop all have their respective triumphs, but there’s still a glaring hole in the landscape of contemporary mainstream efforts.

Quote:

She exists in a self-created sweet spot, somewhere between bubblegum appeal and critical acclaim, and it’s one that that other artists can’t really replicate. She’s captivatingly sincere; her brash behavior never seems like a product of manufactured, iconoclastic posturing. While some pop stars poke and prod at the nerves of the masses with calculated controversies, Rihanna provokes simply by existing.

Quote:

When Rihanna has an album out, it serves as a challenge to the traditional autonomy so strongly associated with pop music. The songs may fit a mold vaguely similar to options offered by others in the genre, but her persona is fiercely divergent from anything else in the territory. She balances spectacle with a sense of the ambitious organic: the same way Michael Jackson’s larger-than-life image felt conscious but never forced, even though he was keenly aware of his impact. There’s an authenticity and charm to Rihanna’s recklessness. She’s a woman who pushes the boundaries of image because she has no personal use for or belief in them, not because she has to in order to shock or assert relevance. No meat dresses. No foam fingers.

Stop comparing Rih's AMA with Beyonce's Billboard. If you're gonna compare, compare with Beyonce's AMA or Whitney's AMA you'll see how similar they are. I do think I could have done a better job with the slideshow thing though. Otherwise the performance, look, overall night was a 10.

I'm so happy for her and I'm so proud. Like thinking bout Rih and her growing up and better things and yet she's not leaving us behind like....

Everyone's dragging because Bill Maher announced the award. I bet Oprah would have done it!!

People will find any reason to shade. Tupac's hologram could of presented it to her and they would of said it's because no living person wanted to do it. Obama could of presented it to her and they would say something like "He's the worst president ever, make sense he'd give her an award". JESUS could of descended from heaven and blessed her and handed her the award and they would of called him the anti christ.

They are just desperate, seething because their fave is a commercial jingles artist and despite them dedicating so much time to hating Rih the INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS disagree with their sentiments. Pretty sad actually
