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

Album went double platinum. That's not Lumidee and Nina Sky numbers.
Thanks. Could not remember their name for shyt :pachaha:

That was hyperbole. The album is double platinum 20 years in. Most if not all of her more recent albums have sold more. She clearly went to a whole new level. She did the SB and didnt do any pre-Umbrella stuff. Aint nobody getting hype, talking bout thats my song to "SOS" :mjlol:. You take that song away it changes nothing.

Look I don't listen to her music. I'm just fact checking off Google and RIAA:manny:

SOS was certified gold months after release and the first platinum cert was likely soon after that. It was her first #1 song so there's no need to downplay it like it didn't impact her career. She might not have made it to Umbrella if she didn't get that first hit.

She had other hits and Jay was behind her. Nobody thinks about that song when they think about Rihanna. She didn't even think about it at the SB, like I said. She could easily be that chick with the accent that had a couple bops 20 years ago and that song wasn't doing shyt about it. There are a lot of artists with number 1 songs that dont go on to huge careers.

Rihanna was popular solely because she filled a niche

Beyonce can dance really well and is a force on stage, can sing pretty well, and at least directs her albums even if she doesn't write every song

Britney could dance well at least

Rihanna can't do anything

Nonsense. Just because Rhianna is mediocre with little talent, doesn't mean that other pop music stars don't have real talent. :mjlol:
Exactly that's a cop out.

Other pop stars have some talent

I already brought up Beyonce

Madonna can direct song production and used to play instruments. So she's legit musical, and dances even if she's not great at it

Katy Perry can actually sing

Gaga is f'n talented as well

Michael Jackson is the king of pop

Whitney

Even the popstars of the last 30 yrs

SZA is a good to great song writer

I’ve never met a single person who has rated her vocal “ability”. :mjlol:


You must not know a lot of Rihanna fans

I have some family members who honestly think she's the best singer out lol not best artist or popstar but best singer


Read the youtube comments underneath some of her performances





Ppl begging for music

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.
