had riri been a puppet, she'd be flushed by the public and the industry already. yes, she's no gaga or beyonce, but she's been flogging hit after hit for the past half decade now. regardless of her army of pr people, i think she's a very clever girl with a clear sight of where she wants to head to

Yes, you're probably right. She works very hard. I do wish she was more talented though. Her voice(recorded) is good, but her live voice is awful and she can't dance. I also think that her material is very, very patchy.

Can I also just say that I find it REALLY annoying how ubiquitous she is. She releases so many albums and then also guests on so many other artists songs too. I truly am sick to death of hearing her everywhere I go.

People go on about GaGa being overexposed, but she has NOTHING on Rihanna.

being a kylie ever since the beginning, i start to sense riri's like kylie-pre menopause in many aspects. hardly a performer of vocal ability or visual presence, yet she somehow comes along as a popstar with an intriguing charisma yet to be identified

I do enjoy Rihanna a lot though. Probably because I know she has no talent yet she always comes back with a fresh new popsong. The lead songs are a surprise for me every time.

Rihanna has a passable voice, there's *some* talent there.

Yep, I do like her voice(not live). It has character and uniqueness, but beyond that there's nothing about her really, is there?

She actually keeps getting better live. Go on YouTube and listen to clips of her singing "Rude Boy" on her last tour and her "California King Bed" performance on American Idol.

She's still hit or miss like Madge, but she's improved greatly. (On record as well.)

Rihanna fought for the song "Umbrella", which wasn't going to go to her. She begged the writer to let her record it at the Grammy Awards. She also seems to know what she's doing, and is completely dedicated to the entire package. I also like how she changes her image.

I actually think she sings pretty well live.

Entertainment Weekly shades Rihanna

Rihanna crowned best-selling digital artist of all time

How does one sell nearly 50 million downloads in six years? By releasing nearly 50 million singles in six years.

Hyperbole aside, Nielsen Soundscan revealed that Rihanna is now the top-selling digital artist of all time (time here being about as old as the iTunes Store), having moved 47.5 million digital tracks since her 2005 debut.

Of course, one might say RiRi breaks a lot of records largely by making a lot of them. Since 2005, the Barbadian chart beast has released six studio albums and an astonishing 36 singles — more than Britney and Eminem combined in the same amount of time.

The full list is below; see if you can count how many of them haven’t collaborated with Rihanna before:

1. Rihanna (47,571,000)
2. Black Eyed Peas (42,405,000)
3. Eminem (42,290,000)
4. Lady Gaga (42,078,000)
5. Taylor Swift (41,821,000)
6. Katy Perry (37,620,00)
7. Lil Wayne (36,788,000)
8. Beyonce (30,439,000)
9. Kanye West (30,242,000)
10. Britney Spears (28,665,000)

If you add collabos that number can go as high as 80 million.

Apparently CHRIS BROWN will appear on an official remix of a song from her current album.

There really are no words to describe how wrong this is.

Billboard recently wrote an open letter to Rihanna, questioning her rumored partnership with Chris Brown on her “Birthday Cake” remix.

“Three years and nine days later, it is officially implied that, no matter if you two are ‘single’ or ‘in a relationship’ or ‘it’s complicated,’ a token of forgiveness has been earned by Brown. And that’s not cool, to a whole lot of people,” writer Jason Lipshutz said.

“Chiefin’ while ppl spend hrs on letters… *kanye shrug* #phu–it,” Rihanna later tweeted, adding, “Who Jah bless I say NO MAN CURSE! Ting’s gettin better when they thought it would be worse … I’m so solid as a rock, they just can’t stop me now!”
