Jay Brown is hella smart though.
After getting the tip off that KING was returning in Q4 he scrapped the foundations already in place for R8 and got his trained goat to do the only thing she can somewhat do decently.
Sing hooks on quick lil singles until they establish a game plan for its survival.
Rihanna is nowhere near as bad as Pepcé. She's just generally clueless and indifferent.
But yes her personality is the main reason I could never be a Rihanna stan no matter how many great songs she releases.
I'm the same. Rihanna and Gaga are my faves based on songs alone, but their personalities are something I can't bring myself to defend. Always be a big fan, probably never a stan.
The icon of beauty, elegance, youth, talent and class will always be my #1.
“Acting is easier and smoother than singing — it’s less drama.”
“Y’all are so cute and y’all talk so proper over here. I love England.”
“Sometimes it’s overwhelming. Why did God give me my talent, my gift, my family? But I know you’re not supposed to question God.”
”I didn’t like school when I was there, but I miss the social life in school. But that’s just something you have to give up. It’s way better performing and meeting celebrities and accomplishing your dreams than talking to a bunch of kids.”
“I’d done a couple of sitcoms earlier on, but I wasn’t very good in them, so I thought that meant I couldn’t act.”
“The more successful I become, the more I need a man.”

no omg album sales are pointless, if a person buys your single you get exposure and it's helping you to promote your album but album sales don't really matter only singles #1
Gene Simmons compared his band and the rock and roll shows they perform with what some of today's younger music stars have to offer, singling out Rihanna for ridicule. "We're sick and tired of girls getting up there with dancers and karaoke tapes in back of them," Simmons told reporters. "No fake ********. Leave that to Rihanna, Shmianna
"of course i changed them and personalized them" This proves EXACTLY what i was saying
Learn how music works or stop discussing it, and I mean that personally not even stan wise. If you don't think music is changed a million times before it's released to fit what an ARTISTS wants it to be then you need to stick to listening to it and stop talking about it.
Beyonce is well known for her music arrangements, its what made her popular to begin with, the DC sound was fresh because Beyonce made it fresh with her vocal arrangements a la Mariah Carey in the 90s.

Just because you're used to your fave getting the lyrics printed out on a piece of paper and doing exactly what she's told doesn't mean other artists don't prefer to have THEIR song and put actual effort into personalizing THEIR own songs.

All of your post has nothing to do with mine. The fact that she insisted on mentioning that she tweaked the song shows how she's unable to give credit to someone else without involving herself somehow which was exactly the point of my first post which you replied to.
