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.

That wasn't directed to Rihanna. I meant that comment toward the state of popular music in general.
It's no secret that these days more emphasis is put into the popstar as a person more than the music.
Also you really can't deny that the famous popstars of today are lacking in the talent department when compared to older popular acts. And I'll be the first to admit that Coldplay's discography is nothing when compared to Queen's, The Cure's, My Bloody Valentine's, etc.
