it depends what you define as "around" I mean sure they are alive, but thats about it in terms of impact.

How? Literally, what similarities do they have? Check your racism, stop comparing pop girls because of their skin colour.

So just because Madonna isn’t as relevant means that the major risks she took throughout her career are not applicable? The risks she took shaped the pop landscape and paved the way for people like Rihanna to do many things that today are not even considered a risk.
If we are talking about out of the people releasing music in 2015 that are still relevant, is Rihanna the most risky, then yes. But overall, no she is not.

Why does that matter when Rihanna is still among the top of the Pop game and GaGa has precipitously fallen? Shock value was what GaGa needed to get her career started, which ironically succeeded in ending it (to a degree) as well.
Rihanna fared better with her third album (GGGB) than GaGa did with her third album (ARTPOP). Face facts.

Gaga hasn't done anything as risky as this in at least five years, so yes!

The actual seething that can be sensed with this post. The same person and stan group knocking her down for her nudity when previously they were all "omg, Bey should more skin before Rihanna was even a thing" "Bey did that ratchet , risque, sexual, murder, etc blah blah blah:
Surprised they aren't saying Rih copied/paid homage to the Hive's queen.

Eh, it still belongs to Gaga IMO. Gaga has done most of what Rihanna has been doing, and more. Including stuff like in the past year, having an artist vomit on her in a live performance.

That wasn't art. That was straight up disgusting. If two girls, one cup is considered risky art to you, then I'm left speechless at that ludicrous view.

It's so funny how they claimed their fave "did all of that before Rihanna", but later bash her for doing the same thing.

Certainly if they were a white and a black girl the comparisons would not have been made, but the comparisons were not about race, but in the type of popstar they were grooming her to be. This was a thing. This is not something people made up 7 years later, it was something that was talked about at the time.

But who are you to determine what is and isn't art though.

It's unfair to speak on behalf of a stan group though, especially if you are not in it and are only judging it based on what sticks out most to you.

Nothing was risky about this huge, calculated effort to bring attention to an era that has been an underperformance for Rihanna's standards.

Well it’s not as if the video is a safe, generic pop video though.

This is not about how things ended up being for Gaga or for Beyoncé, this is about Rihanna NOT BEING THE ONLY ONE TO PAY FOR VIDEOS, it's something a lot of stars have made, it doesn't makes Rihanna any risky, can you please get it?
It's not about collabs being successfull or not, is about how these other girls (and many more) take long breaks between album, the fact that Rihanna took a break for the first time in her life doesn't make her risky. |
My point is that Rihanna has taken risks in her career which is my point. I'm not saying she's the riskiest but the examples I used were examples, I mentioned the others because other posters used Janet,Gaga,Bey, Madonna and anyone else they could pull out their ass crack to discredit Rihanna and pretend she's as safe as Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.
If so many others did this before why didn't anyone give me an exact video where they could cite Rihanna is drawing influence from.
And bitch call me by my name, or stay off my quote button.

But what I mean is if ANYONE can be dropped by the label, you can't really say Rihanna is risky because she risked being dropped because it's not unique enough to her. Any new artist would face the same thing. It doesn't mean you are risky, it means your career is at risk. And at the time she was not releasing anything near risky.
|
Ok her being dropped and shipped back to Barbados when she dropped out of high school is not a risk at all you're absolutely right.
