We're fine, but you definitely said "I'm not a huge fan of market schemes, lack of talent & gimmicks." So, YOU used those inflammatory words, as if they were factual statements. Every artist in the music industry has promotion plans and market strategies (even Coldplay). Just because she makes music that isn't your particular cup of tea, does not mean she doesn't make great popular music hits that are well-liked by many and has also made album tracks that are considered music with "deeper" merit. Go read the reviews from trusted critics. Even still, those reviews are still opinion.
Now, if you have proof that Rihanna has used "market schemes" or "gimmicks" or "lack of talent", in the same way that scientists can prove that the earth spins around the sun, then have at it. But until then, you should pay more attention to exactly what YOU are typing and contributing to these conversations. It seems to me that you can't even remember what you are saying, to whom and when.
And, yes, it does come across as snobbery and condescension. Trust me.
NOW, we're okay. Good day.
The point is that half of her #1 singles have no other artists featured on them. And outside of #1 singles, she has 10 solo top 10 hits (if you include "S&M" peaking at #2 prior to the remix).
Im so happy they are going crazy cuz of my Queen.
