Obviously Rihanna's, although her Diamonds performance wasn't the best

Why don't you post it so we can compare it to Rihanna's icon award. Don't you that its a much more appropriate comparison considering its the same award show and they were around the same age

But honey what's there to compare when Bey's award was far more prestigious and hold a bigger weight than Rihannas award who she'll share with the likes of Katy, Miley and The Wanted?

Beyonce is at a different stage in her career. She was like what, 30, when she got that Billboard award???

AMAs >>>>>> BMAs #Fact

Why don't you post a video of Beyonce's tribute when she was 25?

Thats it? Rihanna's Icon Award was way more historic and monumental. Rihanna is the Van Guard of the Icon Award, just like Michael Jackson was the Van Guard of the Internation Award of Excellence. 30 years from now when other pop stars win the Icon award they will always remember that Rihanna was the FIRST. Get into Global Icon Rih stamping her name in the record books and pop culture history

[Navyboy20]

The anger and frustration permeating through some of the girls font. I am LIVING right now. This is Karma for all the times Beyhive said Rih had no impact and wouldn't be remembered. Now the bitch is booking 140 Million dollar tours, STILL snatching #1's left and right, and is being recognized as a Global Music Icon at the tender age of 25 and the GIRLS CANT TAKE.

'International Artist Award of Excellence' is the AMAs HIGHEST honor. Wasn't great enough to receive that award, so they made up a 2nd rate award. Which I'm pretty sure Justin Bieber will receive since facebook likes, youtube views, twitter and instagram followers are required

[TSGH]

LOL! Beyoncé fans aren't bitter about Rihanna's little award. Rihanna fans just WANT us to be. Not only has Beyoncé has gotten these types of awards many times before already, but in general the presentation was better put together and much less sloppy. Please...

No one is here for your Pressed Speculations. Rihanna is the Van Guard so you have no idea who will win it in the future. Why don't you just admit Rihanna slays, is an icon, is the voice of our time, and is better than Beyonce and get on with your day

Why would I when it's simply not true
Even the AMAs know that, which is why she has their highest honor 'International Artist Award of Excellence'

How immature, Beyonce's was obviously better, but they're both GREAT accomplishments. Why don't you compare your icon award to Rihanna's? Oh, that's right- you don't have one.

But she has the HIGHEST AMA honor. lol.

lol
Weren't all of Beyonce's supposed "legend" awards given to her (from pre-existing categories) AFTER having been in the industry 10+ years? AFTER having had a career as a member of a successful girl group AND a solo career?
An award was fashioned just to praise Rihanna for her 8th year in the industry. You didn't see the award shows scrambling to create an award just to give Beyonce in HER 8th year. Bottom line, Rihanna has accomplished more than Bey in 8 years and she was awarded accordingly and I thought her tribute was fantastic.

Actually, Billboard's Millennium Award was 8 years into her solo career, since you all ALWAYS say Destiny's Child numbers shouldn't count towards Beyonce's It still doesn't take away the fact this award is beneath Beyonce's AMA award.

[tell_me_a_lie]

bey and that's the way it is.

[KangBey]

If you have the First Lady and other legends stanning for you and making videos about how iconic you are, you have already won. I haven't heard much buzz or praise about Rih's award and if you check out the yahoo comments the general public has been going in on her.

[Rider]

Monica actually had some emotions in her eyes and Rihanna looked like she's genuinely grateful for the award. I choose the most emotive one.

[Mani.]

Get your life.

Of course Beyonce's tribute was better... lol it was Beyonce. No one felt or questioned that the award was deserving.. because it was truly deserving.

Now Rihanna on the other hand.. An Icon depends on what your definition of it is. Rihanna is very successful, but is she taken seriously in this industry and well respected as an artist? Sadly, I don't think so. So many people aren't taking this award seriously.

If this award can be handed to Rihanna, I expect for Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, and maybe the likes of Ariana Grande to soon be handed this award too. Not to limit Rihanna's success, but anyone could be an icon at this point.
