1)Her ears are either really weirdly shaped or really perfect. 2)How the hell did she get so popular!?! Let's go down the list again -can't sing exceptionally(or even mediocre) -can't dance exceptionally(or even mediocre) -Doesn't write her own songs -doesn't contribute anything to the musical aspect of her albums -isn't incredibly fine(let's be real people, if you saw her walking down the street you'd think about her five head before you thought about talking to her) -doesn't have an outstandingly personality(not a bubbly one, not a enigmatic one, not an eccentric one, very bland) How does someone with almost no talent becoming reigning pop queen of the late 00's? I can't even take those Jay-z rumors seriously because When Looking at Beyonce compared to Rihanna, or in fact a bunch of chicks who've come and gone in the Def Jam roster between 05-09 I would LMFAO if Jay-z did all this for a little side action with Rihanna. How the hell did this happen!!! [Edited 11/5/09 11:59am] So basically, you started this thread because you was too lazy to look it up on Wikipedia & allmusic. | |

I can understand folks for being biased for sentimental reasons(and I like all of those ladies),,,,but leeeeets not get carried away, shall we?
[Edited 11/5/09 13:12pm] There was thing I read about Prince doing just as much harm for black music as good....I think I posted it here.... "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Rhianna was discovered by Jay-Z. And Jigga is definitely down for THIS:  [Edited 11/7/09 17:51pm] | |

One thing: her hair. Oh and I guess the song Umbrella, but that hairstyle just really changed everyones perception of her, changed her whole image, it made her different. I remember myself when she first came out she irritated the hell out of me. I thought she was just another wannabe, but after Umbrella I didnt become a fan, but I really didnt mind her at all anymore. I even quite like her more than most stars. | |

[Edited 11/7/09 17:51pm] If that was true, we'd be hearing Teairra Mari all over the radio. Rhianna and Kanye are the only one of his "protegees" to have successful careers. You can say Fall Out Boy too, but they already had a fan base prior to signing to Def Jam. JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!! | |

I can see Rihanna doing that too, hopefully. | |

1)Her ears are either really weirdly shaped or really perfect. What does that have to do with anything? Post your pic and we'll judge your ear shape. Anyway, she's famous because she has good songs, creative videos and interesting style. | |

How did Rhianna get so famous? That has been one of the questions that has plagued me for several years now. 
And, I'm sorry, she is no Vanity. Vanity did have SOME singing abilities. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

And in terms of talent, whether singing, dancing, or actin, she kinda fails in comparison. And then Aaliyah should have had her level of fame and beyond. Maybe it's her hazel eyes? LOL I love Rihanna but I have to go back to suspicion A. | |

I think she's pretty enough, and she can sing about as well as some of these other girls. | |

With the exception of doing some shallow writing/taking credit for songs she DIDN'T write. [Edited 11/8/09 16:07pm] I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. | |

LOL I love Rihanna but I have to go back to suspicion A. True, but none of them had awesome videos (and songs) like Disturbia or Umbrella. Rihanna has a unique voice, the others don't. Ciara and Christina are particularly generic, Amerie probably should be a lot more famous I dunno why she isn't, I'd be all for supporting her but she's dropped off the face of the planet. Rihanna's released 4 albums since 2005. You have to be proactive about staying in people's minds these days. EDIT: Wut's with all the Illuminati crap? I didn't know the org was full of conspiracy theorists! [Edited 11/8/09 17:35pm] | |

The woman is as stiff as the tree in my backyard. Ya'll are being too damn biased for the generational factor. .... Rihanna is the same way, but is more popular in comparison because of clothes and paparazzi like Madonna.This is like comparing a pencil 2 a pen. | |

mancabdriver said: Sandino said: And vanity was attractive. I've never considered rihanna attractive. I'd pipe her down, but to me she's just an amazonian looking woman She may be rubbish - but she is fine! IMO she has had only one great thrack - "please don't stop the music'. Umbrella's when it started....then Shut Up And Drive came out and Unfaithful previously..it was like a storm of good songs after the other...she has had a good team writing her music, plus you didnt get a rock / pop sound out of most of the r&b singers these days...she is a rare inclusion.

Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

God awful droning music with a droning vocal performance . In addition, I think we all know that Rihanna blew up because she was slobbering Jay-Z’s knob. At least with P protégées it is obvious what is going on and he did come up with some decent music for some of his conquest but what do you expect it is the non-rhythmic generation doing the best that they can do. | |
