Beyonce is more powerful ....but I mean Beyoncé is more powerful than all popstars....and rihanna is the only other that has her level of power tbh....like when beyonce and rihanna attend any event...if they are nominated, not nominated, win or lose, perform or just attend they pretty much receive the most attention.....
Beyonce should be more powerful...she's been in the game since 97 and is still relevant....however rihanna is a bit bigger than bey was at 27 ...as bey as a solo artist just now is reaching rihs album sales....and it doesn't matter that rih has more albums cuz albums actually sold in the 2000s plus rih is selling out stadiums...something bey wasn't doing during I am era....plus even during that time rih was beys main competition. So yea beyonce is more powerful but that gap ain't that big
Look at the way the internet reacted to Feeling Myself video, Flawless remix, ST drop versus whatever reaction you can find on the internet for Rihanna's new tunes but y'all will still stumble in here with "lol she's not"
This "Rih is only 27" age comparison angle people try to peddle on here as if it automatically means Rih will be in a similar position status wise as Bey in 6 years when she is 33 makes no sense as it would only work with the assumption that they have similar things going for them and similar trajectories -- they don't.
The Rihanna of TODAY is struggling. Sis can't catch a hit to save her.
Rihanna dosent have a legacy like Beyone to afford a flop like the one that is incoming.
As long as Rihanna is employed by JayZ she will always be less powerful than Beyonce no matter how many singles she sells.
Beyonce can best Rihanna on her worst day bacause the world stops for Beyonce not the other way around.
Just look at Tidal no one checked for AO2 when it dropped on there. The navy quickly called it a flop because of Tidal.
Nicki + Bey drop a video and it goes viral WW. Top trending on Twitter, sends Tidal up the App Charts. I mean who else??? Not Rihanna lol.
This is just one example. If I get into endorsements and business venture (MONEY).
Rihanna just can't keep up ( Dior Ad overshadowed by FM drop)
Beyonce's power is the blueprint for these girls. That's why Nicki is prospering she got a taste and can't get enough.
Wait Beyoncé at 27 was selling 8m albums WW, going 3x platinum in the US with her album, getting two 3x platinum songs, one 5x platinum song and two platinum songs and grossing 120m WW with her tour.
Rihanna with 27 only has one platinum song, one song that might be certified gold and another that won't even be certified wood.
Beyoncé is on another whole level, it's not fair and we still have the 35m albums that DC sold just in case the navy decide to use Rihanna's featured singles sales.

It makes no sense. Are you telling me that in 6 years Rihanna will be considered the greatest female performer of her generation and will as be as respected and adored in pop culture as Beyonce is?
Beyonce is far more respected that rihanna as a celebrity and as an artist. She also has more talent than rihanna as a celebrity and as an artist. Rihanna carries herself in a way that will never put her above Beyonce, because Beyonce carries herself in a way that make people think she's perfect and a goddess.
Long explanation short, Beyonce has a better image and has more talent than rihanna.
