fff "there you have it" on the basis of another biased member on ATRL cuz you yourself couldn't come up with another excuse? Cute tries from you and that stanbase of yours, though. Similar essays and all.

How many of those Grammys were Rihanna's own songs and not a collaboration? Was she involved with the creation of any of those songs that won a Grammy?
And we all know the only reason Paul was on 45S was Kanye, not Rihanna.
Try again.

She has some iconic moments unlike the other.
And since when is playing instruments and writing your own songs a requirement to be repsected in the music industry? |
What iconic moment does Rihanna have? Being crude on Instagram? 
Look at the most respected musicians of all time. Nearly all wrote their own music, played multiple instruments, or a combination of the two.

Rihanna by miles. Taylor has no memorable songs or moments. She's really just there.

Did Aretha play bagillion instruments? No, but she'll always be remembered more.
Did Whitney write all her songs? No, but she'll always remain a bigger force, even in death. Rest in peace, legend.
Taylor will remain on this generation's mind but she'll quickly fade once the future is upon us. She is that disposable. White, singer-songwriter who wrote Pop/Country songs about relationships? Been done to death. How generic can you get? |
Aretha and Whitney are two of the best singers to ever live lmao.
"She'll fade quickly." Is that why Taylor has been more of a consistent seller than Rihanna, despite how much Rihanna is on the radio, TV, etc? Is that why, in 2015, Taylor has multiple #1 singles, the top-selling album of the year, and her tour is going to gross more than every Rihanna tour ever? Meanwhile, Rihanna can't even release a damn album, let alone get a big hit. All of this, despite the fact that Rihanna and Taylor came out around the same time. Poor Rih

Riri
She's actually pushing ****, and that's why I admire her
Taylor is as safe as it gets, she's a slave to the public, she'll never push anything and boundaries will never be moved because of her, her whole career, her whole artistry, it's already been done 1000 times before her

And not all of the legends wrote their own songs.

Rih not releasing an album is considered a drag? Education system needs to up the ante on critical thinking.

It is when you've been hyping the era, have released 3 singles, multiple music videos, performed at multiple award shows, promoted on late night shows, etc. and the general public didn't care

Just because your fave writes their own music doesn't make them a legend.

And as a legend, Paul had to oblige and was forced to be on Rihanna's record?
"Try again."

Rihanna is just on another level with both cultural and visual impact, and a truly outstanding catalogue of hits.

All of this 
No shade to Tay tho, I love 1989
