How you gon' be in the industry ten damn years and have to have someone in the studio to tell you how to sing a song?
You mean the same way Ryan Tedder coached Beyonce and Kelly Clarkson when recording Halo and Already Gone, respectively, to fit in with his vision of how the song should be sung? The same way medical doctors attend seminar to learn better/different techniques in hopes of becoming better caregivers?
Why would any artist turn down help when it will only better their skills and career? Nonsensical argument.

Ryan Tedder coached Beyonce? Where are you getting this from? If you hear Tedder's demo there is a lot of vocal inflections not present that Beyonce does.
Also I don't think the point was that it's bad that Rihanna uses help, just that there is a difference between someone who has a vocal producer and someone who produces their own vocals.

Ryan Tedder wasn't even in the studio when Bey recorded Halo tho. He said he was going to pass the song over to Leona Lewis because he didn't know if Bey was using it or not and never got a reply after he sent over the demo. Where are you getting your information?
And the point is Rihanna has to have someone in the studio to coach her through a song.
Quote:
Makeba Riddick didn't produce Rihanna's vocals on "Man Down," but she's one of the industry's top producers, and has worked with the singer on many songs, including the two number one hits in 2010: "Rude Boy" and "Love the Way You Lie."
When Riddick works with a singer, she'll say, "I need you to belt this out, I need you to scream this, as if you're on one end of the block and you're trying to talk to somebody three blocks away."
Or maybe: "Sing with your lips a little more closed, a little more pursed together, so we can get that low, melancholy sound."
I think, while still being involved in the making of their music, they are not that much in control of their music direction.
If you see any similarity, it's probably just their team thinking it was a good element to be include, and not because one is inspired by another to do something
You clearly know nothing of Bey then if you think she has no control in the direction. Her label barely knew anything that was going on with this album, it was all her.

February 2010 - Rihanna's first "explicit"/raunchy single
Before "Can you get it up" Rihanna was never publicly sexually starightforward in her songs. What we had? Ride-sex metaphore in SUAD? Beyoncé started Baby Boy with:
Aah, oh my baby's fly, baby oh
Yes no hurt me so good, baby oh
And that was 2003. 2005 gave us her singing
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my
