What R&B nomination is she talking about?
She must be retarded or something. If she loved Rihanna, she wouldn't try to drag her with that weak excuse.

Jealousy

She got the hive out of her neck, now it's the navy turn

Unapologetic

Music journalist Jude Rogers characterized the album's music as voluminous "R&B-pop", while Time magazine's Melissa Locker said that it has an "urban R&B sound"

Tamar can sit and mourn that she will never have Love & War hit again

No. It's pop.

No. It's not. .

It's an Alternative R&B/pop album

There's a lot of electronic mixed into the album

Preach, Get It Over With is plain R&B without being urban.

I will give Ri credit - Unapologetic is very urban based in production.

But she didn't lie that she's 100% a pop singer.

[leonardo_91]

She has some R&B songs, which one was nominated?

Actually Rihanna does:

- pop
- R&B
- reggae
- urban/hip hop/rap/club
- dance
- dancehall
- pop-rock
- folk (FFS), latino (Te Amo), ska (CRTFY), soul (Stay), new wave (SUAD), rock (IINSYFA, POC)

and other music genres.

[Riha'love]

She was nominated for Urban Contemporary Album which isn't Classic R&B (there is a category for that on the Grammy's).

And she owes that one to Gaga who tweeted the song.

It's not strictly R&B. Chill. There is nothing wrong with that.

What are you even arguing tho? Tamar never said Beyonce is 100% R&B only, just that she's more R&B for a mainstream girl than what Rihanna is. You said Beyonce isn't R&B at all, you've been proven wrong. Stop trying it.

Rihanna is considered R&B mostly because she's black.

I said not anymore, as in, not like she used to. Reading is fundamental. Why are you even bothered?
I love all these girls, stop trying to take me for some kind of hater. I'm not. They all get my coins.

That's the thing though. This thread isn't about Rihanna not truly being an R&B artist. It's about Tamar being misinformed and spreading lies. Rihanna won for Best Urban/Contemporary Album. There are a separate set of categories at the Grammys for R&B music. Tamar, if she feels her music was truly R&B, should have submitted to those categories instead, and not to the Urban field.

[IBeMe]

This is 100% true. Rihanna is a pop star yet the Grammy committee keep forcing us to believe she's RNB simply because of he r skin color. It's borderline racist.

Congrats on picking the 2 most R&B-like songs out of the list. I don't say she doesn't do R&B anymore, but you can't label the majority of her music R&B. Nothing wrong with that.

Her debut album is 90% pure R&B. You clearly haven't listened to her discography. Just because her music crosses over and is played on radio doesn't make her any less R&B. Bey has as many Pop influenced songs as Robin Thicke. He's still an R&B crooner... why isn't she?
