That Whitney Reign Just Won't Let Up sounds as irrelevant as Becky G's last single.

Rihanna's music doesn't span across races and generations?

Old people don't bop to Stay?

Young people don't bop to We Found Love?

Europeans don't bop to Only Girl the same way Brazlians bop to What's My Name?

Rihanna hasn't won American Grammys, English Brit Awards, and Japenese Music Video Awards?

Don't even get me started on how many #1 hits homegirl has WORLDWIDE.

Its offensive to Rihanna's legacy to just dismiss her as some local peasant girl to be honest.

My 6 year old niece knows a few of her tunes , I see little children singing IWALY all the time , rihanna's music does not spread to the elderly. Whitney is more global than rihanna. The Bodyguard Soundtrack alone has outsold her entire discography (almost twice). SIT.

Whitney stopped being successful after the Bodyguard era

and Rihanna's music is more universally known because her music consist of multiple

genres and her music has no age limits unlike Whitney Houston

also Urban stations didn't use Whitney till The Preachers Wife era

Rihanna is massively successful on POP & Hip-Hop/R&B formats alike LIKE Whitney, and UNLIKE any of the other girls you mentioned in your post. Britney can't be compared to Whitney, they just too different. I'd take a Britney-Madonna comparison before I take a Britney-Whitney comparison simply based on their vocal ranges. The vocal range chart that was released a few weeks ago revealed that Rihanna-Whitney have shockingly similar Vocal RANGES. Although, most would agree that Whitney has more control. But Rihanna can get up there when she wants.

The craziness in this post is just beyond. Sad.

Not comparatively in terms of numbers, but definitely symbolically in terms of impact, beauty, and relevance. People forget that despite Whitney having a successful commericial career, the black community constantly shaded her for being pop and not being "R&B" enough, just like they do to Rihanna.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone shading Rihanna for not being R&B enough... She's pretty much been pop since she debuted.

The pressed Taylor and Britney stans in this thread

Using an artist's real receipts isn't "being pressed." The thread title asks who is the closest to Whitney and it's Britney. If we limit it to artists "of color," then Janet would be closest (she's pretty darn close to Britney) in terms of record sales and Mariah would be closest in terms of position (she's one spot ahead of Whitney). Where is the lie?

Rihanna is a microwavable artist who makes easy bake hits.

I don't think anyone is, but if it had to be anyone it would have to be someone who has cultural relevance, is considered to be at the top of her peers in talent, who is beautiful, successful, soulful and is a true powerhouse. The only person who fits that criteria is Beyonce.

Christina has the bigger voice though and even so she still doesn't touch her.

I don't see it.

Rihanna is bigger than Whitney, though.

[Revel]

Of course she is. She's only black singer shape-shifting the world with their voices, accomplishments, fashion etc like Whitney did. Whitney would be proud of her.

Except Diamonds remained at #1 on R&B charts longer than any Whitney singles.
