Rihanna’s SOS second verse was just her reciting top hits from the 80s.

And a lot of them don’t. Madonna isn’t a great singer nor dancer, she does both just enough to go with a controversial image to make her a superstar.

Wrong. There are a multitude of a talented pop superstars throughout the history of music, unlike Rhianna.

And say what you will about Madonna, but at least she solely wrote some of her own top-charting music hits. :pachaha:

Rihanna, who can’t really sing, dance, or solely write her own music, was signed by Jay-Z to Def Jam at 16 after just one audition, which clearly shows she's the epitome of an industry plant.

In fact, Rhianna is the poster child for mediocrity as a music artist, propped up by top notch producers & songwriters, all thanks to her industry connections through Def Jam & Jay-Z. Her success & status as a pop artist is rooted in timing, marketing & luck, not real talent.
all this is irrelevant.

she has the IT factor. a recognizable voice and looks

you can be the greatest vocalist in the world, doesn't mean you are good at making pop hits that the masses like.

Tierra Mari came out the same time as Rihanna, on the same label and had the initial same push. but more people were feeling "pond di replay" better

What you wrote just bolsters my point. Rhianna is a no talent music artist propped up by the Def Jam machine & Jay-Z.

Furthermore, Teairra Mari was a R&B act, during the low point of R&B music & wasn't positioned as a pop music act like Rhianna, which gave her access to a much wider audience & radio formats, so your premise is "irrelevant".

we both agree she's untalented
but she must have have something that the masses like, because if it was so easy to make another her, they would have

it's been 20 years and only SZA had pop up to her level

As I stated before, it was the marketing, timing & luck plus industry connections which made Rhianna a manufactured pop star. Also, the Music industry is much different now, than it was before, which primarily reflects the lack of viable Black pop stars in Music today.
