ok

Umbrella is more memorable than Katy's career.



Katy may not take risks, but Rih most certainly does.

Rihanna

Mrnoniee bye. Rihanna takes big risks. Have u heard of Russian Roulette or Diamonds? Even WFL was not that safe at the point it was released (house breakdowns were only starting)

Katy tho not memorable at all.

Katy. She's got more than 2 or 3 hits per album.

wtf

Rihanna by light years

Katy

Rih

Rihanna. Lol.

Katy for Firework, and Rihanna for her feature on Love the Way You Lie.

The rest of their respective discography will probably get forgotten.

What risk?

I'm sure if you came to a random person on the street they would be able to name both Katy and Rihanna song, they both had their fair share of huge memorable hits so pretty pointless question...

Rihanna of course

There's no way this topic is not gonna end in a massive free for all stan war.


They're both just as memorable as each other right now, it could easily go either way depending on how their careers evolve from now on. Umbrella has a pretty secured legacy, but Firework likes to rise up the charts at any occasion where fireworks are used. There's too little difference between the two artists success-wise to state it either way for fact.

Rihanna BY FAR

Russian Roulette as a lead single.
Chris Brown on the birthday cake remix.
Putting Chris Brown on Unapologetic.
The release of Rated R
Completely changing her image & sound

the entire rated r era

and umbrella is way more memorable than love the way you lie

Making stupid career decisions isn't being risky. Rihanna/Def Jam didn't choose Russian Roulette as lead single because they wanted to be risky, they chose it because they thought it was a sure fire hit to cash in on the Chris Brown situation.

Changing you image from Nice girl to Good Girl Gone Bad isn't risky, it's something every female musician does around the 3rd album. She hasn't really changed image for sound wise since 2007. (No, dying her hair red or getting Instagram didn't change her image.)


-Regardless- being risky doesn't make your music more likely to be remembered so this is a completely pointless discussion.
