as a matter of fact...nothing Rihanna does has been an "event" really. she wanted to do that so badly with the Anti era....clearly as a direct result of ST. i've never seen such an obvious attempt like the build up to the Anti era...with the Anti album cover reveal & the statement that Rihanna wanted to "shock" the music world by changing the history of album covers by doing the "antithesis" of what the public expects...not knowing that braille stuff has already been done.

also the Anti diary mess....and the "free" album release with copies already purchased by Samsung...lol

She could never be as risky as Beyonce musically & in business.....stick to changing those wigs every album. thats as "risky" as she gets.

I'm saying if she was such a rebel risk taker, then why did she ignore her "social commentary" song because the reception was dim, but she favored her commercially successful ones? Sounds like a coward to me.

The social commentary was more risky. She could've tried to push it if she wanted to, why didn't she?

She performed it at March Madness and SNL

So two performances is "pushing" a song?

Why isn't she performing it now? She's performing the other two?

[Timber]

Formation alone is more risky than Rihanna's entire career.

When has Rihanna ever been praised for it?

Fact is Beyoncé's music is more acclaimed than Rihanna's.

I asked a question that you couldn't answer so you diverted back to my fav. Bye girl

What is one thing Rihanna has done that is musically risky? I'm having a bit of a brain fart here.

Uh ya.
Then explain to me what was she really doing if she wasn't pushing the song.

I will take having multiple singles on the all-time worldwide chart over having "events" (Beyonce's only events are Single Ladies and Self-titled) and having 0 songs on the all-time worldwide chart

SNL is a huge promotional slot, and March Madness is very popular

Uhm, why would she perform something now that's over a year old?

Cling to those few strings left girl

Then if that's the case, she would've flopped into abyss a long time ago.

Hmmm let's see. When Beyoncè "flopped" with RTW, she performed it countless times, kept it on her album, and used it on her tour. Im fact, she just performed it in January.

I think its clear who the real "risk-taker" is here. The one who doesn't give a damn about how it her music performs, and treats all of her "flops" like they're #1 smashes. The one who stopped catering to Top 40, with no regrets. Can't say the same about Rihanna.

ST which it was praised more than anything Rihanna has ever done

Formation which was more praised & talked about than anything Rihanna

Your turn

[Penny.]

Rihanna definitely

[Artemisia]

Beyonce makes more bold decisions and commits to them. So her. Neither are very risky musically. Rihanna has tried on many styles, but nothing truly out of the ordinary, and most often with trendy producers.

So measuring the amount of times an artist performs a flop song decides if they're risk takers or not?
I guess Demi is a risk taker because she promotes her flops more than Rihanna.

Bey performed RTW like it was a #1 hit. Didn't care if radio played her iish or not.

I guess ATRL has spoken... Rihanna by a long shot
