Oftentimes we see the three artists Rihanna, Katy Perry and Ke$ha (and even Nicki Minaj as of late) grouped into the same category. All of these artists are often huge on radio and have very successful singles. Some of them have even been quite successful in the album department. Yet for some reason they are grouped below other artists. It can be argued that most of them are still lacking in many other departments such as talent, touring and critical acclaim.

Is the claim that Rihanna, Katy and Ke$ha are below other artists (such as Britney, Beyonce and Lady Gaga) accurate? Does the general public see it this way, or is it just something the stans have created?

Is the categorization of these aritsts fair? Or should they all be included on the same level? Is the idea that some artists are better than others ridiculous?

The women at the top (Gaga, Britney, King B) all have (had in ones case) talent that the girls displayed at the bottom just can't touch or will ever. The public has seen it, we all do.

Oh and yeah Rihanna isn't on Gaga and King B's talent level. BUT She IS talented and above Ke$ha, Katy, and Nicki, ext. That's for sure.

Originally posted by Muggwa there is no way in hell that Rihanna and Nicki Minaj should be grouped below artists like Britney Spears, no shade.
