Well if you actually knew the concept of Bey's album, you would know that the metal glove was just an accessory to go with her alter ego. And she pulled it off well, Rihanna on the other hand just comes off as trying too hard, and it shows.

rihanna is NOT wearing metal glove. it is HAND JEWELRY.

Rihanna is trying too hard, and everyone notices it. She's trying way to hard to be edgy, and it doesn't even come off as authentic.

I feel the opposite--Rihanna is more naturally edgy/dark. Beyonce's "Sasha Fierce" persona seems forced.

Maybe you notice this phenomenon but you don't speak for "everyone."

exactly. her alter ego was sasha two albums ago, she added fierce for her third album to make it sasha fierce wearing a metal glove, which she didnt have at the beginning.

again i repeat rihanna is wearing HAND JEWELRY on her cover.

I agree! Riri looks natural.

Try imagine Rated R's cover with scarlet red lips instead of that bold black...

wish I were good at photoshopping, anyone?

I know that. I was responding to the person who was saying that Bey looked stupid with it.

Ugh, nevermind. And I wasn't speaking for myself, I'm saying the general public see's that Rihanna is trying too hard. Did you see that video on MTV asking people what they thought of her album covers, and most of the responses were that they feel that Rihanna is trying to hard to be edgy, and even on blogs and stuff. I'm not hating, but I'm just saying that her whole "edgy" look is nothing but a gimmick to sell her, since she doesn't have any real talent.

Rihanna isn't exactly the most creative person either..ask FeFe Dobson, Lady GaGa, and Grace Jones..they'll tell you.

why would we ask Lady gaga? someone who just came into the scene? Fefe Dobson? Someone who got dropped from her label cause they knew she wouldnt sell as much as Rihanna.

Rihanna isn't trying to hard. Thats like me. People say I dress all preppy with a mix of rebellious and whatnot. But im not trying to. It comes natural. Rihanna's come natural. People change, they dont stay the same.

OK... watch her album sell 5M+ worldwide anyway. Clearly that's not going to stop her from being successful. What's your point?

[ëlëctrik-city]

smthcrmnl, just stop. There's no point to what you're saying since EVERY artist is accused of this at one point...and you should know what I'm talking about.

Did I say she wouldn't sell? I'm aware that Rihanna has sold 8 million on her last album, and won't have any trouble selling her new album. And I'm not trying to discredit her. I'm just saying, that I don't think she's being her true self. But we could go on. I could be wrong though. But w/e..I'm done. Gosh, Rihanna's stans are so damn sensitive...
