Rihanna's songs and videos, while good, are extremely gimmicky though. The whole S&M era was just begging for controversy. Her new album is all about shock factor through explicit sexual content.
I love the WFL video but it's clearly milking the Chris Brown incident - another gimmick.
I'm not sure she really understands the definition.

This comment was obviously said to draw in attention.
Edit: To make it clear I mean Rihanna's comment. lol

She doesn't need it

I'm just tired of stupid WPs. I don't bite my tongue for anyway so I expect WPs, but why the hell am I getting reported for being off topic when I was just replying to something off-topic someone else said?

But, imo, you want your celebrity to be bigger than your hits if you want your music to make a lasting impression. That way you'll be known for your music.

This whole interview was a contradiction. I like Rihanna better when she isn't talking.

Right. We should take what she says at face value. She's clearly trying to raise awareness for poor people by going on a Derelicte fashion campaign. For every ratty weave you buy at Cece's Country Wig Plaza, Rihanna will donate £3 to the first homeless prostitute she sees.

Her music does NOT outshine her and it's ridiculous to even say so...There's no one out there who's familiar with Rihanna's music without knowing Rihanna herself.....most people can't even name her catalogue of music aside from a couple of songs here and there. What people know about Rihanna is that she makes a lot of hits and they attribute those hits to Rihanna. You'll probably never hear someone singling a Rihanna song without knowing it's a Rihanna song, her voice is THAT distinctive.

I don't think she know what she's talking bout? Why didn't she just keep her original hair color form the get-go? And was she throwing shade to LOUD & GGGB?

and besides, to be known primarily for their music is something every artist dreams about...
who the **** wants to be known for the troubles in their life or for some dress they wore someday.
so  to Rihanna for not being known for gimmicks! |

Yall need to cut the madness acting like RIhanna is Ester Dean or something. Rihanna is a huge star in the US. Stop the madness.
