What type of messy ass thread? Lemme perch

I want Rih to improve her vocals, her performing skills, and I want her to be more involved with her music. I'd love to see a self-penned ballad on R8

edit: oops i didn't even read the OP
i think she needs one more massive era (a la GGGB), forward-thinking music on R8, critical acclaim, and a really good performance that people will remember.

Madonna is not a legend. She's a cultural icon.

Angie didn't start working with the UNHCR until she was nearly 30,
Once Rih grows up and becomes more mature I'm sure she'll be working with charities and become a humanitarian.

No.

She's needs to prove that she is an actual artist,
that she can actually create a body of work that will be remembered for generations and not just some fast food singles that fade out just as she embraces her next era.

in my case, she's a legend in terms of being a fashion icon, but music wise she just reminds me of every other pop girl and their digital fight to be on top.

and the posts in this beg the question Why do most Rihanna stans bend over for the other fanbases? She doesn't need to prove anything and her fans should especially know this. She's outsold everyone's faves except for Madonna

She needs a 3rd huge album era...

The hive is PERCHED

Well yes, she has almost everything (minus touring) over her peers.
If she's not a legend, then WHO is???

Ok, Trashy Navy.

She needs something innovative. She never really brought a new marketing idea like Madonna with sexualizing religious imagery or Britney with her Lolita to Sex Kitten transition or Janet Jackson with her hypersexualization and awareness.
