Yeah nobody cares about her flopping because it's not shocking unlike Gaga who fell from grace. She could release another catchy single and it'd smash

No one hates Rihanna, she just has to put a good pop single out and the GP will eat it up.

Fair enough. But as a popstar, I'd think you'd want people to be passionate about you (both positively and negatively).
Otherwise you're stuck in this weird in-between where you've been out for 10 years and no one but stans remember your 10 year anniversary.

Will people notice when R8 is released?

People don't care about Rihanna like that. It's why she'll never become a legend. She's always been missing that certain something, even with all the good singles and success. If she's on the radio, great. If not, whatever. Out of sight, out of mind.

"RIHANNA IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BLACK WOMAN OF ALL TIME!!" was an ATRL myth perpetuated by Britney stans like Lipton and Mazen who wanted to get at Beyonce and everyone bought it.

Gaga, Kim and Rih were best dressed at the MET. And they were noticed. Beyonce looked great too and got a ton of press but her hair was just

They did when she was hunched with Katy and Madonna in that picture.

At least Rihanna's emperial gala gown and Beyoncé's candy bling ensemble could hold their own on the red carpet. So much for no one caring.

It's getting boring reminding the hive they should be the last ones speaking of flop singles, what's more this Rihanna flopping isn't really what the hive and the little monsters wanted, they stay anticipating the release more than the navy itself at this point, this whole affair has been boring and nowhere as bloody as the Gaga/Artpop scenario, hence why the little monsters stay upset

Rihanna is to Beyonce what Katy is to Gaga. Except Katy's much less known and successful than Rihanna. Smart humans understand this.

I've always felt that she lacks a pop culture relevance, with the exception of the Chris Brown incident. She was always on the radio, but not in people's minds. She's not a household name, a memorable persona like Beyoncé, Gaga and Taylor Swift, which is why in the long run she will not be remembered.

The YouTube comment section

Ladies and gentlemen, I am just gonna state the obvious: we have a doppelgänger in our midst. As an person who respects creative integrity and intellectual property, I am disgusted at how much Pe**** have copied Yolandi Vi$$er. From the hair to the voice, does she not have any value or respect for originality? She’s a laughing stock, it’s cheesy, it’s disgusting. I personally found it absolutely artistically atrocious. I am embarrassed to be watching this having to even dignify her with an answer of my opinion.

She reminds me way too much of the Die Antwoord girl but more pop friendly. Also lots of angry people yelling cultural appropriation in the comments

Love the song though

It's really bad that nobody cares Rihanna is flopping. Gaga went down fighting which drew a lot of attention to her at the very least. Rih just bowing out like none of it matters

sure, explains why she still is more watched than those artists on the internet or why the internet goes wild with memes whenever she wears something to an event?

That actually isn't such a bad thing, no one laughed at her flopping unlike Gaga who is universally loathed.

No we should be the first ones. n. Cause we know what it looks like.
How do you think I've been right for a straight year now?

Everything I've said about Rih flopping has been rooting in observable facts. Two eras of Bey's singles flopping has taught me what I need to know about how hit/flop singles/albums/eras.

I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but Rihanna's time has come.

The red-headed wife in Mad Max reminded me of how Nicole Kidman circa 90s was the most beautiful woman ever.

[RihannasVeryOwn]

You guys are seriously implying becoming a laughing stock and being ridiculed by mass media is a good thing? That we should be mad Rih isn't being dragged by Time and Forbes and whatever prominent magazines?

Rih isn't going down, this era might have started on shaky ground but let's not act like Rih hasn't been in this position before and bounced back out of it every time.

[alkralkra]

Has R8 been scrapped?

[ezra]

any attention is still good for business. Like, when apps get panned (TIDAL trashing Spotify) that exposure sent Spotify flying up the App store charts. And the attention around Gaga wasn't totally bad. It was just shock that she wasn't pulling TFM numbers mixed with the always juicy girlfight + meltdown reporting

That is because of her music and her clothes/physical appearance, NOT because of who she is as a person.
