Talent is something you're born with, it doesn't show up randomly at the age of 18.
Rihanna, while not being talentless, has not natural singing talent. You can say her voice is distinctive but that's not a talent. When she sings a new song first few performances are always not good, it takes her a lot of practice. Have you heard first few performances of Russian Roulette?
Sometimes in her performances during Loud era when she's about to belt or hit a "big" note you can see her eyes doing almost 360 she's so focused on singing it right.
Her LWTWL part II performances also seem rehearsed to death imo. She always does exactly the same run that makes all her fans drool over but you can see how she's totally focused to hit the notes right in that part.
When she rarely tries to improvise on songs it sounds ugly, she doesn't have that natural musicality in her.

at that performance. Sis is flat on at least 70% of the notes in that song.
Okay, I'm not being shady or anything, this is just my honest opinion. I don't think most of you know what talent is definition wise. Talent isn't having "potential". Talent isn't sometimey ( I know thats not a word). In order for you to have a talent, you must be good at something ALL the time except on RARE bad days. Rihanna is more bad than she is good so no, she doesn't have talent, she just has a better voice than you and I but it is mediocre at best.
