There is no point debating the success she has achieved, facts are facts; but it is a stretch to attribute to her any artistic credibility and cultural impact that the likes of Mariah, Beyoncé, GaGa have made.
Simply ask this question: Would it have been a great loss if Rihanna had never happened at all? I know that the canon of pop music would feel inadequate if somehow the said major stars were wiped from our collective appreciation. But I wouldn't begrudge Rihanna's or Katy Perry's disappearance however much and unabashedly I enjoy their songs.
