Did you or did you not say Ciara could take Rihanna's spot? Whether you think the music is better or not, the fact is, Ciara's music (and image) does not appeal to white audiences, which Ciara would need to reach half of Rih's success, let alone replace her
Ariana's throwback R&B music is infinitely better than this pop EDM **** she's doing now
Like how do you intentionally regress in quality like that
Not really. "Baby I" and whatever that song she had with Mac Miller are both dated as **** and not in a "throwback classic" kinda way. Still, don't see what's so "sellout" about what's she's doing now compared to what she was doing a year and a half ago.
