The Bey Hive is confused. They claim their fave is an R&B goddess, and yesterday I saw one of them saying that Rihanna can't be R&B because she can't sing, and that she is pure pop. Am not seeing how they are in the same genre by those standards?

I don't get it because they get upset when Rihanna wins best R&B over Bey at awards shows because they don't consider her pop, they consider Bey the Princess/Queen of R&B, yet they're in the same genre. Help me please.

And no, she isn't fading. Some of you may want to see that and you probably pray it happens before you go to bed at night but it's not happening.

i was trying to make a point, people say Gaga is fading because she had 2 flop singles and BTW didn't sell as much as the fame when the same thing happened to Rihanna yet Gaga is the only one fading

[FAN]

Rihanna just got the biggest single of her career, and im my opinion, her best song ever. How is that fading?

I guess I'll slide some tokens to ATRL soon. I just can't see paying for something for it to tell me they're to busy...

Did I tell you that I have all of my friends and brother listening to Childish Gambino

But wait Monsters, let me as a proud owner of a BTW deluxe CD ask you a question.

Born This Way had such incredibly huge amounts of promotion that it was just as intense as Katy Perry's, I would only HOPE it'd sell 6 million at the peak of her career. The "Album of the Decade" wasn't even the album of the year. She was the biggest pop star of 2009/2010 with no discussion about it, and now is being contested left and right with more pop stars gaining star power. She saw her single, MTN, perform poorly in the US (if you consider Judas a success) which has never happened before. She got snubbed at the Grammys completely. Rihanna has promoted only We Found Love and TTT once; You Da One was completely ignored minus the radio promotion at the very beginning. All of this and is still pushing 2.6 million. Also, rumor has it Rih's got a 300m+ audience on radio. If Rihanna is fading, Mother Monster isn't too far behind. Y'all make me wanna burn my copy of the album and make it harder to love Gaga anymore, I swear.

what about how she went from 9 million selling GGGB to 2 million selling Rated R?

Peaked. But obviously not fading.

I remember people saying she had peaked with Umbrella, then cames We Found Love

[crumprKID]

She's not flopping or even doing bad WW but compared to her last era she is fading. You can't deny that. She isn't selling like she could and she has lost some of her star power. She did two remixes with her ex abuser and couldn't even make headlines.

Sis I give your post a 8/10, it wasn't perfect, but BAM

Despite the fact that TTT was epic and your ass will just have to deal with that fact, I have a question for you: Since when does quality mean ANYTHING. I mean, pretty sure certain albums that have Mixed or Average labels on Metacritic went 2x platinum.That's such a terrible point.

Rated R is over 3.5 million. But anyways, she went from 3.5 million with that to 6.5 million with Loud. What's the point, niece? We all know that GGGB was her peak, no one even denies that.

Ever heard of an image change? From pop n b, to full hip hop/R&B,rock etc etc?

Rated R was soooooooooooooooo different, where people couldnt connect to the album. It was/is an emotional record and doesnt make a click by everyone.

Russion Roulette was the lead single, which was different than every other song which was in the top 10 back then. It wasnt a strong lead single, neither was it commercial. It was epic and amazing, but not commercial.

Do i have to explain that more?

I don't think so.

PS: Rated R sold over 3m copies!

BTW spent 6 weeks at number one more than any of Gaga's numbers but she is "fading"

[Signs]

No. But she has wont in my opinion get success like the loud and gggb era again.

We can use the same "tragedy" with Gaga, where her sales with 13m+ with The Fame/Monster combined, went downhill to 6m~ copies with BTW.


The same thing was with Gaga, where she changed her image from a pop hit maker, to a more artistic direction. So let's not pretent, the same thing hasnt happened to Gaga.

Fading means getting less popular.

So they're both fading, in my opinion.

They'll probably both have periods where they get more popular in the future aswell.

Some people need to grow up. It's not a big deal. They're not going to get dropped from their record labels. Just accept that they're getting less popular and move on.

I don't care that Rihanna is fading. She's had like 5 periods in her career where she's faded. I've kind of got over it now.

The truth.
