I mean... |
...She's not, because if she was 'making' music in the studio with that same "fierce passion" you speak of then it would translate into her live performances to bring that song to life, no?

Everyone will jump at me for this but I really don't understand what do many people see in her. She has a mediocre voice, not that much talent, and she is so goddamn childish. She's just a hit machine who doesn't even wrote her own songs. If she did, then she would be coming out every 2-3 years, the way it should be.
Because of this her music has become so unbelievably generic. She hasn't had time to carve out her niche. What we don't get is her own style. We can't look at a song and say "ahh that's a typical Rihanna song" because everything she's put out recently has been much te same. I don't see what people see in her.

No it hasn't.

I don't give a **** what Prince did but Michael did NOT put out an album every year for hit records, quality and an immense amount of hard work went into creating a solid album, a album with great lyrics that contain substance and he was very hands on with his albums. The same can't be said for Ms. Fenty who needed damn near 40 song writers on her last album, and they're following that same formula for this album. A album made for hit records. Let's not compare Robyn to Michael in that aspect.

Michael's only quality album was Thriller, though. He spent his time trying to re-create its success and he failed. At this rate, Rihanna will end up being more prolific than Michael.

I understand that you want to please your fans by constantly bringing them something new, but it seems like your label is worried that you'll go irrelevant as soon as you don't put out a new single.
There's clearly a lack of confidence in Rihanna on both her part, and the label's part.

I can co-sign this.

She is. She's gonna foray into acting and focus on her acting career in 2012. Her manager made this statement today. She is set to film a new movie as well. Which makes me understand why she rushed to get this album done and out of the way.

She was an established musician before DIL even came out.
And no one is even calling Jay Brown a Prophet anyway.
Bye.

I don't disagree with him. If not an album, at least an EP or few one-off singles every now and then.

Now you're just trying to start something. Lots of acts don't recreate the same "passion" they have in the studio translated on stage. Stop reaching because there's countless of artists that this can apply to.

You're not grasping the major difference and I can't say I'm surprised. Any way, I'm not saying that a lot of artists don't dream about or want #1 singles, but there is a difference in wanting a #1 single as opposed to creating a album for the sole purpose of obtaining those #1 singles. I'm a causal fan of Katy Perry so it's not shade, but we all know 'Teenage Dream' was created with Dr. Luke for the sole purpose of chart success and nothing more than that, and Katy's discounts and remixes for a single just to get it to #1 proves that. LOUD was created for the same purpose and 'Talk that that' is following that same formula, his quote proves that.
GGGB is the equivalent to 'Teenage dream' and let's not forget how Def Jam milked the hell out of that album for hit singles.

There are at least 5 songs recorded by a pop artist on EVERY album with the intent of being a hit! They WANT every single released to have the possibility to be successful...just because Rihanna wants to make sure that the songs she's releasing as singles are going to appeal to the masses does not in any way diminish the quality of the music. She's a pop star for a reason and that means her goal when making an album is to appeal to a wide audience. If you think that its wrong for POP artist to want to make successful albums then your listening to the wrong genre tbqh. Prince, Michael, Janet, Mariah and the list goes on and on, all of these artist wanted to have number one hits and they wanted to make music that was popular enough to garner success AND THEY DID!

Oh okay. Good for her. I think a break from music is good for her. It looks over- bearing and tiring. Tour after tour, performance after performance. She must REALLY love her job.

'Thriller' is thee best selling album of all time, I doubt Michael tried to re-create it's success, he simply moved forward musically without trying to use the same formula of prior albums. 'Bad' isn't anything like 'Thriller' --- and what's this nonsense about Rihanna will end up being more prolific than Michael? what?

Would you like to point us to live performances of any of her work from this album then? Because seeing as this is about TTT and not her previous efforts unless you have something to back this up it is invalid and makes you look very desperate.

I disagree. I think if rihanna KEEPS putting out albums annually, she'll be overexposed and people will get tired of her, she doesn't have to take a 3 year break, a few months or a one year break would be fine....

I totally agree. Look at what happened to all of the girls who took a break recently.

Not every artist cares about song charting though, and those who were mentioned weren't as commercial as Rihanna is, esp Barbra Streisand -- some artists actually make music simply because it's a passion without giving a single **** if a single reaches the top 10 on B.B. hot 100. Shocking I know.

She has said many times and expressed that making music is her passion. Whether the fact it goes #1 or not is irrelevant. You just seem bothered and pressed that she can **** out hits effortlessly.
