It would damage her vocals in the long run and Rihanna voice is already pretty thin. She would end up like Mariah, Whitney etc if she would sing songs like What Now and Complicated daily.
She did sing the chorus on Alan Carr though. Also when you're inside the arena/stadium singing that part it's such a powerful and amazing moment, the way the whole crowd just screams is >>>>
Each new Rihanna album is a mixture of 3 things: dance tracks, ballads & urban songs...
Rated R lacked dance, but then Loud, TTT and Unapologetic all had this mix.
And that's why I think Rated R is so adored by her fans. Because it was a consistent album made of urban songs and ballads that can't ruin anything. No happy dance songs & the album flows so well.
Rated R is her last album that was not all over the place. It was an ALBUM, not a collection of recorded tracks.
I mean when you listen to Birthday Cake and then We All Want Love....or POTR and then Diamonds, it's messy. Let's not even get into Loud. If she improved this, her album sales AND critic score would go higher in my opinion.
That's why I want her 8th album to have some personality and substance. I want her to do a dance/ballad album or urban/ballad album. Not all three.
ThA end.
Now gimme PIU video MOTHA****A!
SPILL THE F**KING GOSPEL! Ive been saying/thinking this for so long.
