I heard about all these pressed haters trying to come for Rih's pedestal, so I'ma have to let 'em know.
And in honor of the QUEEN's rihcent #1 record, I will give you 9 rihseons why she's The Only One.
1. Her voice. Does she have the biggest, most perfect, belting voice on earth? No. But that is not what anyone is here for. Ask J-Hud, big voices are not what is selling. But Rihanna's voice is hands-down one of the most unique voices out of any in the industry. It stands out and is distinctive. You can hear 5 seconds of a song and know it's Rihanna. Not that many other artists out there can have the same said about them.
2. She's not afraid of change. I stan for Rihanna because she keeps it interesting. You can never get bored with her music because she is such a versatile artist. From her soulful power ballads (Russian Roulette, Cry, CCL, etc.) to her club house smashes (OG, DSTM, SOS), her smooth midtempos (Photographs, We Ride, etc.) her Island-rooted songs (Man Down, MOTS, HIGA) and more. She is like 5 artists wrapped in one, all without coming off as forced or uninspired. Seriously, if you have a mood...There's a Rihanna song for that. Literally.
3. Her beauty. Easy, breezy, beautiful. No one compares to Rihanna's beauty. She's gorgeous and exotic with looks that are incomparable. Ask ANYONE else if there favorites can still look amazing with a half shaved head or a fire engine red wig. Hell, she could pull an Amber Rose and still have that natural beauty people would die for.
4. Her style. Haters can come for her all they want, but they cannot knock her style. She is a fashion icon and does so naturally. I still remember last summer when everyday people would be gagging at her day clothes taken by the paparazzi. Unlike certain celebs, she doesn't have to wear obnoxious clothing/costumes to garner attention in the fashion world. Unlike certain celebs, she doesn't play it safe either. #NoShade. She is a risk taker in fashion all while not reeking of 'tries-too-hard'.
5. Her story. This girl started off as a teenager from Barbados singing in talent shows and look where she is now. Haters can compare her to other celebs, saying she'll never be as good as Beyonce. Well, in all honesty, for Bey's sake, I hope not. When Rihanna came out, she listed Beyonce and Mariah as two of her idols, the people who she inspired to be like in the music world. And now? She's comparable to both of them. That in itself, above all, is completely amazing. I don't need her to top Bey or Mimi. The fact that she's put in comparison with them - her idols growing up - is enough. Who else can say that?
6. Her success. Probably the easiest one to stan about. Let me let the charts speak for themselves. SOS. Umbrella. Take a Bow. Disturbia. Live Your Life. Rude Boy. Love the Way You Lie. What's My Name. Only Girl. Enough said. And that's just #1. In the US. Do I need to mention her 17 Top 10's? Her 21 Top 20's? And all this at age 22. Who else has done it???
7. Her progression. Only a true fan can have the joy of watching her grow before them from the very beginning. From this little girl with Music of the Son, starting to come into her own with A Girl Like Me, the emancipation of RiRi aka Good Girl Gone Bad. And then, we as fans got to experience exactly what she went through with that heathen monster in her emotional album Rated R. And now, The Rihanna Navy is blessed again seeing her now in a better, happier place with Loud. Her albums aren't just about what music is relevant during the time it's released, but its also about her life, showcasing where exactly she is as a person.
8. Herself. Have you seen her in interviews? Hilarious, down to earth, perfection. Humble as all hell yet still not afraid to let someone know ("Your cute") when she has to.
9. Last and most important, WHO ELSE IS THERE? Because no one else is good enough, imo. When someone comes around that has all this and more, I will drop Rihanna like a bad habit. But until that happens - and trust, we all know, it never will - Rihanna is always The Only Girl in the World to me.
That's my Rihanna story, Navy. Sorry it took me so long to come on this board to praise Rihallah and help you cut down the pressed haters. Let the dragging begin. |
