Growing musically is experimenting with different sounds, it means making albums different from your last, and Rihanna does that. Rated R was completely different than GGGB, MOTS, and AGLM, Loud was a complete departure from Rated R, Unapologetic/TTT were not the same as Loud. You can make great music without necessarily writing it. Do you know how many iconic songs weren't written by the people who sang them? Producing your own music doesn't automatically make you better than another artist. And that's not stay Rihanna doesn't have a hand in her own music, some of her best songs are songs she co-wrote on, like Fire Bomb and Love Without Tragedy.
You don't remember Russian Roulette but you claim you know it wasn't a risky song for her? How would you know that if you don't even REMEMBER it? Critics and fans everywhere called that song a risk. And Stay was a slow ballad that could've easily failed, as many pop girls do with ballads, but it didn't. You're embarrassing yourself in this thread.
It doesn't really matter what you think that says about Rihanna though, because that wasn't the point of the thread, it was comparing her to other pop girls and a lot of people didn't comprehend that. Pink's definitely another great example of a musically diverse pop girl though, I'm not disagreeing with you there.

Girl what? No, you can hear her accent all the time what do you mean
Rated R was just an advanced GGGB, The rest of her albums blend in together, I can hardly remember which song was from which album, never heard unapologetic but the singles weren't any more diverse than any of her other singles in the past....
Critics called Russian Roulette a risk because like someone said before, it didn't match the style BIP's had going, but it wasn't diverse for her nor risky seeing that she had already established the GGGB image....
The only people embarrassing themselves is delusional fans making grandiose claims for this woman
