Yeah, but I was shocked when Ri didn't mention her as one of her idols during that one interview recently. She always said Bey was one of her main idols. I wish they'd come together.
It peeves me that she leaves out Bey's name most of the time nowadays... She still says Mariah tho, like she always does. I remember watching an interview on YouTube where they asked what was on her iPod and she listed all the same songs she had on her iPod playlist or whatever but she didn't say "Sweet Dreams."
But anyway...

Beyoncé Leaves Rihanna Starstruck
It’s hard to believe that Rihanna attended her first major concert only six years ago, and now she’s performing at the same events with the stars she once looked up to.
The 21-year-old singer shared her first concert experience with iTunes. “My very first arena concert was Beyoncé/Alicia Keys/Missy Elliott [in 2004]. I think it was the ‘Ladies First’ tour,” she said.
Despite her bad seats, she will always remember that special night. “I was in like a nosebleed seat, but I was in tears. I could not believe that Beyoncé was right there, and Alicia Keys and Missy Elliott.”
Rihanna was in awe of the artists she now considers her peers. “I was a little starstruck. No, I was very starstruck, but it was so much fun. It was very inspiring and it motivated me so much.”
What’s on Rihanna’s iPod?
Rihanna knows a pop hit when she hears one—just check the Billboard charts. So what is the sexy songstress listening to these days?
Groupon: Who are your biggest musical influences?
Rihanna: Among my musical influences are Brandy, Madonna, Alicia Keys, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Bob Marley, ....I love reggae music.
She always said Bey was one of her main idols. I wish they'd come together.
