So, Rihanna was given the first ever "Icon Award" at the American Music Awards last night. In the introduction she was called "the voice of a generation."

She's bigger than everyone at this point though. RiRi's success has been amazing tbh.

No album has hit 3 million despite all those #1s. She's a joke and even younger record buyers know it, hence cherry picking singles on iTunes. She's only had 1 #1 single in the last year and Katy has wiped the floor with her since the TD era. Not to mention Adele getting #1 singles AND a Diamond album.

And I don't think initial chart success beofre you've even been around a decade makes you an icon.

The main problem is this was their FIRST such award. Why would Rihanna get it first when Paul McCartney, Madonna, Prince, David Bowie, Elton John, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, U2, The Rolling Stones, Garth Brooks, the Eagles, Cher, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand and countless others are alive and ready to get the award and when acts like Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley could be given the award posthumously? And even among acts over the last decade or so Eminem, Beyonce, Pink and many others deserved it over her.

It would be like the Oscars giving the Lifetime Achievement Award to Channing Tatum.

Rihanna will create a concept album based on DreamWorks Animation’s toon “Home,” out in theaters in November. She will also perform new songs in the film.

DWA chief Jeffrey Katzenberg announced the news during the company’s fourth quarter and full 2013 year earnings results on Tuesday.

“Home,” formerly known as “Happy Smekday!,” is based on Adam Rex’s book “The True Meaning of Smekday” and features the voices of Rihanna, Jim Parsons, Jennifer Lopez and Steve Martin.

The film is directed by Tim Johnson, who helmed DreamWorks’ “Antz,” “Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas” and “Over the Hedge.”

DreamWorks Animation will release “Home” on Nov. 26 through 20th Century Fox.

Her new single:

:confused: I just don't get this song. For me it is the worse lead single in her career and what are those strange back ground sounds in the Kanye verses?

Her voice is disgusting on the track too. I was floored the first time I heard her first few lines.

The cover is hideous.

She's so obviously about to fall off too. It will make her getting 13 Hot 100 #1s look all the more ridiculous.

If this is the kind of shit that turns into a hit single, then I'm delighted that Madonna is having flops. At least they're proper songs with *shock horror*, melodies.

Her voice is a bit grating on it but otherwise I quite like it. I love FourFiveSeconds as well though :lol2:

Weirdly in the last year I've gone from not getting Rihanna at all to really liking her.. Always turning up to the party just as everyone elss is passing out or going home, me :shy:

the pop audience has embraced plenty of her heavily rnb flavored singles in the past, so yes, i think it's gonna act likewise with this one, too.

I'm not feeling this one just yet, but let's be honest, the number of brilliant singles she's put out in the past 10 years is amazing.
