DEATH at everyone trying to undermine Rihanna tho. Rihanna has enough hits to tie herself and eventually surpass legends from decades before. She's gone so dark that she's one of the most analyzed musicians on conspiracy theory websites.
Rihanna, less risky than Katy? We're talking about a woman who recently walked out on a carpet event showing her boobs and twerked for the camera backstage like it was nothing.
Katy Perry is NOT an album seller.
Selling more (way more, I just don't know the figures) than 15M songs off an album WW and yet managing to only sell 3M of said album is a TRAGEDY.
Menawhile, true album sellers actually bring the attention of people and actually convince them to buy their albums based on the listener experience with the singles.
Beyoncé, for example, hasn't even sold 5M singles in her Bey era but already sold 3M copies of her album. The album/single ratio is much more healthy and shows listeners actually enjoy her singles enough to buy the full project.
OT: Well, this was just my introduction on the topic of the thread. There it is the proof that Katy is basic, and I'm not the only one who thinks that. If she had an interesting personality, she would motivate people enough to check for her content. It doesn't seem the case. People buy her quick-lil' singles, but they don't bother to buy the album cause they know it doesn't contain anything unique or not done Other artists are selling the same amount of albums weekly without a big smash hit (Lorde, for example, outselling her this week on BB200).
Of course Katy is NOT an album seller, because she can sell both.
Beyonce is an album seller, because she sells albums like Katy but her singles flop.
Do you comprehend what everyone else has been saying dumbass?
Listen, DUMBASS, everyone has been saying that she is basic because she follows a formula to get those quick hits. She offers nothing to this industry. She has absolutely NO impact. No Grammys, NO prestige, No respect because she IS basic.
Getting those quick lil No. 1s is no big deal when you have Dr,. Luke producing for you & Bonnie McKee writing for you.
Now she is even struggling to get those quick No.1s because the GP has figured out out her formula & schemes.

If you actually believe that i feel sorry for you. Rihanna has took plenty of more risks in her career than Katy. Just look at rihannas leas singles then look at Katys. Would Katy dare to try releasig something like Russian Roulette for a lead single? Would she release something like Diamonds for a lead single, ever? The answer is no, please don't compare the two , rihanna has been taking risks all through her career which is why most people see her as far from basic as you can get. Just look at Rihannas dark album Rated R and compare it with Katys supposed dark album Prism, do they both seem similarly risky to you?
Lol stop reaching for the stars and acting as if Russian Roulette or Diamonds are some kind of ground breaking, risque songs
Songs like IKAG or E.T. stomp all over Russian Roulette and Diamonds is just another slow song about loving someone etc. etc. Katy has been there, done that with songs like Thinking of You or even TOTGA.
I mean, your argument could have seemed somewhat more secure and believable if you would have used songs like S&M but NOT Diamonds!
Sigh. The delusion in this thread is too real to even bother rebutting.
Let people think that Katy is basic and that is a bad thing if they want. I will continue to get life to my copy of PRISM that I did purchase when I didn't purchase any of the singles.

So Katy and Bey sell the same amount of albums and Katy sells more singles and yet Bey wins?

I don't understand either. If ARTPOP had Dark Horse, Roar and Birthday, some of you would be saying how Gaga is going back to her fun Fame days, while still being artistic.
1) Rih doesn't write her own singles. So you can't say she's the one taking the risk.
2) Diamonds is not a risky single and never will be.
3) PRISM was never branded as a dark album. In fact, it's always been referred to as the EXACT opposite. At people who make up lies to back up their argument.
Ok let me clock you real quick i have little time for this tomfoolery
1) regardless of you wrtites it , rihanna releases it with her name, she is the one who is putting it out there so ofcourse she is taking the risk
2) Compare diamonds with all the other popgirls lead singles, everyone was saying it would flop when it came out because of how different it was from what she usually releases
3)

My music is about to get real f—ing dark. You’d never see my face because my hair would be in it,”
....how is diamonds even remotely close to a risky single choice???
Lol you cannot be serious.
Coming with Diamonds is one of her riskiest choices EVER.
A song with a VERY DIFFERENT SOUND (she opened with WFL prior to this)
Nothing sounded like it on the radio
She exposed her vocals like never before
Not based on music beat but on voice
Not uptempo or a ballad
Adele or Sia coming with Diamonds wouldnt be risky. Rihanna doing it.... IS

Now swerve, DUMBASS!
SDADJASHDAJKSHDAJS MY IMPACT!!!!!! >>>>>>
Listen hun, you already have the iconic, try-hard signature, but since you're at it, why don't you put Katy as your avi, change your username, your facebook/instagram/twitter picture and hang up some Katy Perry posters in your wall? You are such a dedicated stan!
Oh and you might try going outside and getting some air, it helps with the fuming!
Because she is? Like it's one of those things that don't need to be elaborated. She makes basic music with a basic image and basic videos. Enough. She caters to the lowest common denominator in order to please everyone. Let's stop acting like she's anything more than that.
This hits the nail on the head. It's not even hating, it's the obvious truth.

! A mess! They will do anything to marginalize all the risks Rihanna takes. A MESS!
