She's a slightly above average singer with a great discography, I don't mind that.
And Rihanna does pick her songs btw, not you hanging onto FUME's post like it's gospel.
Then just say that she's an average singer when being asked if she has talent. She also seems like a decent dancer.
But y'all saying she "has an ear for hits" sounds embarrassing.
Rihanna has plenty of talent.
More than most of the girls.
Like Kim, a lot of her talent comes in proficient marketing.
Like Kim (who is yawn'ly releasing nudes, still) she slips up with that.
Isn't this oversharpen'd (please, please fix this distasteful mistake) dummy stuck in a contract until next fall?
Not that I blame him for running far, far away from the horrible, jokey lifestyle he must've been forced into.
Rihanna is a glorified model.
Can't sing.
Can't dance.
Can't play instruments.
Can't write (save the co-writing credits on songs with 6, 7 or 8 writers listed before Fenty, please).
She's good looks meets good luck meets 'fun' personality meets style team meets writing camp of 40+ people meets marketing team meets relentless trend hopping.
The fact that the R8 era has been going on for 7 months now....and still no album. 3 full singles, all promoted and pushed, and nothing.
I bet they drop a super generic banger in September or October with the album very shortly after. It would be insane if they didn't put out an album this year even if the next single flops.
