Why i stan for rihanna...
(Excuse my grammer mistakes)
I was in the 6th grade when Rihanna debuted onto the music scene. I never really checked for artist or music. I would just listen to whatever was on the radio. I thought Pod De Replay was a cute song and all but its wasn't anything mind blowing to me. I just liked the song. Then Rihanna came back out with Unfaithful and LOVED the song but i still wasn't a fan.. I remember sitting in my listening to it and thinking about my 7th grade crush at the time. Another song that made me kinda notice rihanna was break it off me having a parent from St.Kitts made fall in love with the song. I was also sad that it never got a video.
After that i almost forgot about Rihanna till Umbrella came out. At first i thought that song was cute but then after days listening to it. I couldn't stop. Believe it or not i never heard the song till the video came out on AMTV. The morning show where Mtv would show music videos. Idk if they have it anymore since i dont watch mtv any more but back to the topic. I thought Rihanna hair was soo cute new and edgy! It seem like it fit her. After Umbrella i slowly got into rihanna. not the the point of become a REAL fan but i really enjoyed her whole music and style during the beginning of the gggb era.. I finally became a fan during hen take a bow came out. I NEVER been that excited to see an artist video before when it came out. Thats when i knew rihanna wasn't just some pop singer to me...She was a role model and an inspiration in my life... I remember sitting in my room one night my parents out for there anniversary and i was youtube and pulled up the disturbia video... It was when it leaked... I SCREAMED so loud my neighbors next door had to come see if i was okay. It was LITERALLY THE MOST EPIC THE THING I SAW IN MUSIC VIDEO IN MY 15 years of life.
**** that! the video was life it self.
i couldnt take the epicness thats when i became a HUGE fan but still havent bought the gggb album.
till this day idk why lol. I really wasnt into POP music or culture till rihanna came.. The type of music i listened to was indie rock at the time. and rihanna was the ONLY mainstream artis i cared about during that time... I was kinda a hippie hen came to my music taste but not serious tho. Anyways... Rihanna helped me discover myself if it wasnt for rihanna idk who i would be today....I MEAN that in the most honest way...I never looked at rihanna as just a singer... and i never will.... Rihanna truly touched in the inner most part of me during that time.. She gave me confidence in myself that its okay to be who i am.. She taught me that through her music and her being herself... Every since then i slowly became a stan... About the time run this town song leaked mid summer 09 i discovered a site called RihannaDaily or RD as i call it... I never seen and never knew rihanna had so many fans that had the same devotion to her like i did. I remember a stan by the name of maison20000 and cold who are my best buddy today on RD welcoming me. I was new so i didnt know how the rihannadaily crew or now RihannaNavy had worked.. So i was saying some things that people would side eye me about. but overalll they made it feel like my second home... I love rihannanavy till death. They were my crew we did crazy **** together when trolls started coming talking about beyonce and gaga were gonna slay rihanna.. LOL ... I also remember when Rihanna was doing nothing but walking around NYC i never knew i could sooo much life of what someone was wearing...
but it as fun! After that i remember rihanna annoucing that Rated R was coming... Everyone one the site thought the album as called the wait is over or dark angel. lol RD had a timr and everything. I remember one time being on rihannanow waitng for the single to drop and hearing wait your turn for that first time... I went bananas! nobody could tel me ****. It was everything and more! then i remember russian rouette FINALLY premiering! It was Nov 3rd i would never forget that date. I almost cried! Not because it was a ballad or not because the song wasn't what i expected it... It was the lyrics... It hit home... Most people think the song is about abuse when to me its not... Its about passing any test in life... Anything that you go through you CAN get through it.. After that date i became a stan... Thats when i join twitter...Dragging
BLOGS ,Beyonce stans and CB stan through the mud...
Me,Dre and maison2000 were like a crew. Then i met channy! after e were requesting rudeboy like crazy on the secret site.. LOL.. Now she's like my best internet friend.
but anyways after that i remember rihanna announcing her tour everyone was EXTREMELY excited to go it was the best time i ought my tickets and everything... Long story short... After that thats when the LOUD era came... Everyone thought loud was gonna be rihanna's thriller. LOL I remember staying up from 3 till 8 am for Only Girl to drop on ryans radiostation. Boy was it worth it! I *****d out Only Girl a good 200 times that day.
then it went on for a week now its my most played song on my ipod to date. LOL but yeah thats how i became a rihanna stan... To summaries this rihanna has been more than an artist to me... She's my sister in my head and my hero... TO ME there will NEVER be another rihanna...I cried my self to sleep listening to rihanna music..
Thats how much of an impact shes had on me and my life..
She touched my life like no other. She got me through tough times with my self esteem, she helped me get over a guy i liked for 10 yrs who turn out being a jerk to me.. Now she helped me become the sexy STYLISH and confident person that i am today. My Grandparents had elvis, my parents had michael jackson and i have
RIHANNA! the baddest bitch in the WOOOOORRRRRLD. lol I tried to shorten cause i didnt want it to be TOOO long... lol and somewhere between june and july i joined atrl... But yep thats how i became a rihanna stan...
