If she doesn't get some better material she's going nowhere, people ain't stupid.
How We Do (Party) if better promoted, could reach TOP 20-25 in US at best.
She should tried her best to avoid the Rihanna comparisions, but her album cover, songs and the whole image make it almost impossible.

Most debut albums are "safe", there are exceptions ofcourse, but it all seems a hoax to keep comparing Rihanna to Rita, Rihanna changes her style very often, yeah they had a similair hairstyle for a bit, but that happens more with stars. Her material may be "basic" or "weak" to people, but a debut is too built from, her label basically put her in the studio with the producers that are hot, and producers these days are bound to sound similair through their productions. If she didn't worked with Stargate or The Dream and would have worked with RedOne as example instead, I bet people would slam her for ripping of Nicki or JLO, since I bet that anyone who works with RedOne now, will sound like Starships/Pound The Alarm part 3 or OTF/DA part 3, and the same happens with loads of other producers.
Her album cover really doesn't looks anything like Rihanna's, that is just reaching, loads of artists have used faceshots, there are enough black and white covers. Her image is also different, okay they wore some of the same tops and shirts but so what, they both mixed them with different clothes and made them their own.
If Rita had a #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 you would totally use that. Because she doesn't, you are criticizing the chart while praising some random Dance chart. lol
