at this point I'm really not getting the bey vs rih thing not only has Rihanna been completely different from her since 2007 but they're in completely different stages of their career and statuses in the industry

IIWAB was a rehash of the previous years biggest pop hit - BIg Girls Don't Cry.

IASF is the biggest trend chasing album ever, it's so shameless and lame.

IIWAB - BGDC
Halo - Bleeding Love
Diva - A Milli
SL - Get Me Bodied

She was going for all demographics with that mess. It worked but ay.

I still don't see the resemblance.
I thought she wanted to snatch Ciara's Like a Boy?

I Am.. Sasha Fierce is C+/C- material. Meh.

No explanation. I just feel like her lead will be a Russian Roulette and underperform this time.

lol that's half the reason why Mariah is critically panned and has no acclaimed piece of work. Katy Perry of the 90s w/ good album sales.

Rihanna >>>>

I became a HUGE Bey fan with B'Day. I still remember being so let down with IASF.

BEYONCE has restored my faith in her. 4 was good but not really my taste/style of R&B.

She's not critically panned. She's just not critically ADORED.

Pon De Replay is x2 Platinum, what #1 song Mariah's We Belong Togeter failed to do.

Russian Roulette was a hit in Europe etc. So she basically never flopped with a lead single.

Your right. Critics don't take her seriously tho, that's what I meant.

Only ATRL cares about critics though.

Images of rapture
Creep into me slowly
As you go into my head
And my heart beats faster
When you take me over
Tell me tell me time again

Ci ha best song

I was so #TeamRih during IASF. I thought Bey had lost her spark. GGGB, Rated R, and Loud was soo much better than IASF- in singles, album, & style. Only performances is what Bey obv. was better at.

Ironically, 4 the flop era was what got me back into liking Bey again.

Mariah was critically panned during Glitter . Shame because Lover Boy is just heaven

She was more critically acclaimed in her beginner years Daydream is most likely her most critically acclaimed album ..

Her Top 3 probably:
Music Box - Merry Christmas - Daydream

She was panned on Rainbow / Glitter / Charmbracelet, but still did good for someone flopping.

Idc if Rihanna flops I just want something better than Talk That Talk and Unapologetic.
