NO. This has nothing to do with Gaga.

My problem is you calling Beyonce the greatest singer and performer of this generation without having anything to back up those statements. If you can't prove it then why bother saying it? Oh, excuse me. I believe the term I'm looking for is "receipts." GET THEM.

oh I'm sure it has everything to do with GaGa, otherwise you wouldn't have felt bothered and felt the need to defend the many artists that are singers and performers who don't meet up to the standards set my Beyonce. If you want "reciepts" dig into the recesses of your pride filled brain, and you'll find yourself agreeing with me

I've been wondering about this for a while now. It just seems like Rihanna has taken over while Beyonce's been gone.

After RATED R I wasn't sure, but the way she came back with LOUD to take the world charts by storm, she proved that she shouldn't be taken lightly.

OG is a beast around the world.

Her track + album points worldwide are just ridiculous.

Dead @ These Girls Trying IT!

Let's Compare Beyonce And Rihanna At Age 22.

Beyonce At Age 22:

- 8 Grammy's (3 W/ DC & 5 Solo)
-Became the First African American Woman and Youngest to win ASCAP's Pop Song Writer of the Year Award For Independent Woman
-2 #1 Albums ( Survivor 2 weeks w/ 650,000 Sold in the first week & DIL w/317,000 copies 1st week)
-Beyonce was the FIRST American Solo artist to have her single and Album top the charts simultaneously with (W/ Crazy In Love & Dangerously In Love) In The United States And The UK
-The Most Weeks Spent @ #1 by A Female Artist In A Calendar Year (17 weeks) W/ Crazy In Love (8 weeks) & Baby Boy (9 Weeks). Also Most weeks Spent At Number from A Debut album in terms of Singles.

-Beyonce Had Sold Out Tours. No Struggling To sell Tickets on Her Plane.

-Beyonce Also Wrote The Longest Running #1 single by a Female Group "Independent Woman" 11 Weeks @ #1 and is featured in the Guiness Book of World Records.
-Destiny's Child is the Only American Female Group to Have More than 1 #1 single in the UK.
-Destiny's Child is Also the First R&B Act to Go #1 in countries like (Austrailia and the Phillipines)
-Beyonce Had the Most Successful Debut from a Singer turned Actress In Austin Powers In Goldmember
-Beyonce's FIRST SOLO is listed on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Definitive 200 List as well as DC's 2nd Album The Writing's On The Wall.
-NPR Named Beyonce's Debut Album One of the top 5 most Important Recordings of the Decade
-EW Named DIL one of the Top 25 Classics of the last 25 Years.

The List Goes on but you get the point.


Rihanna:
5 Albums
9 #1's
4 Grammy's
a few chart records and digital records( That have been Snatched by gaga or Taylor)
What else is there? Rihanna is nothing but a singles artist in My opinion.
