rih and katy aren't even comparable. rih has a rich back catalogue of great songs (by prerogative of the amount of material she's released slightly). i mean, i may be one of few people on atrl who admit that unlistenable is trash but katy doesn't have anything nearly as great as numb.

she has like, what, spiritual, birthday, lfn and hot n cold. rih has that on rated r alone

Calling Rih talentless when Katy doesn't have a single song better than the worst song on MOTS
Give me a break

You're right. Rihanna does get a pass, when her music really is no better than Katy Perry's music. They both are the type of artists that only have roughly two to three good songs per album, the rest are just filler -- probably why they're friends, they share common traits. The difference between Rihanna and Katy Perry is that Rihanna's music and videos are not pandering to tweens and she's not making her tours a Disney channel children's show, that's why it's easier to overlook Rihanna's genericness, i.e. "At least she's being a 'grown-up, mature pop star.'" Furthermore, Rihanna's overall imagery and style comes off more "artistic" than Katy Perry. But yes, Rihanna and Katy Perry are essentially one in the same.

...Vin

Better/Worse is rly subjective
You've chosen to live your life as a Kesha stan and thats ok

Rihanna's sound/voice is authentic and once in a lifetime. All the other pop girls are a mixture of old/new, this person+that person.
I think her style is often replicated but her sound/voice is what rly sets her apart.

also None of Rihanna's 5 studio albums have filler

3 + 6 + 3.5 = 13

& who cares what her tour grosses? Rih is touring next year and will outgross her again

8.9? 3.5? In what world honey? Stop inflating. Thank you.

Keep your lame ass predictions to yourself. Thank you.

All those year end lists and not even one Grammy nomination.

[lilMonsterKayla]

Rih and Katy arent even comparable?

[Aaron]

Rihanna's music is garbage & is literally manufactured within two weeks to fit any music landscape. Except for Rated R, which was recorded to see if her abuse scandal could produce musical success (it didn't).

[lilMonsterKayla]

rihanna is authentic just as deluded as a Belieber

Very true

I mean, the fact that people actually paid to see this



The vocals
The choreography
The lack of emotion
The fact that she has ZERO stage presence
The fact that she's out of breath yet she's not doing nothing but move her arms (a Britney tea)

I could literally post any Lana Del Rey performance and all of this could apply. Hiding behind Katy Perry, how desperate can you be?

[Ramos]

Tity is just so untalented.

Poor that.

Hihi.

[bluth]

i actually believe rih could slay a lot more live if she tried harder and actually stuck down with a good health regime. like legit, and it's not some deluded army thing where itzney will magically materialise with a little more effort

[ultraviolento]

Tom Lea described Del Rey as “the most theorised pop singer to emerge since Lady Gaga – in fact, by the time this album’s done its damage, she may well have surpassed Gaga in that regard.” It was true then and has only became truer as Gaga’s career has flatlined, leaving Del Rey (and Beyoncé) as fodder for arguments about what it is to be a woman, a feminist, a pop star, or a role model.

The fact that every single person in this world knows she's done is just...

The difference: Justin Bieber has actually produced impact in the music industry & in pop culture (that doesn't revolve around getting his face bitten & mashed in).

[Lord Blackout]

And Jay Z said, 'There's only two ways out. Out the door after you sign this deal. Or through this window...'

[Aaron]

How can anyone feel like they're 'dragging for FILTH!' by using the nickname 'Tity'? It's literally ezra'd.

[FatShady]

Rihanna was going through a lot during DWT. She never should have toured.

[Poe Dameron]

Pop stars including One Direction and Adele have had their emails hacked.

Their private conversations have reportedly been stolen by the same hackers who targeted Sony's Hollywood film studios and delayed the release of 'The Interview'.

Details of the stars' contracts and demands are believed to be among the information stolen by the hackers - who have been traced to Pyongyang, North Korea by the FBI - and it could cause "embarrassment" for the singers.

Media analyst Mike Raia said: "The potential embarrassment and turmoil would be as devastating as that which has crippled Sony's movie-making arm and effectively killed the general release of 'The Interview'."

There is also a worry about the early release of music from some of the biggest artists at Sony Music - who own major record labels including Columbia, RCA and Epic - including David Bowie, 67, right, Rita Ora, 24 and Beyoncé, 33.

This is going to be fun

Poor Gaga, she has to live up to this

I still remember the Lana fans were bragging about her Grammy win for SS until they found out she didn't actually get a trophy then they started having meltdowns

[RihannasVeryOwn]

Calling Rih's music trash when you stan for Katy Perry who hasn't won a single Grammy & who's highest MC score is 61
I'm going to sleep, not arguing with children at 2 am, no ma'am.
