fucking ew

the fact i have to do this again after retiring from popgaf:

Rihanna can singlehandedly change the fabric of the music industry every time she makes a comeback. From Umbrella to We Found Love to Diamonds to now, FourFiveSeconds. She is constantly setting the trend in music rather than following the trend. She constantly reinvents her persona to fit every era. She constantly improves her live performances as time goes by. She is undisuputably one of the most influential women in music today as well as having established pillars in other industries: to her River Island fashion line, her MAC cosmetic collection, her budding filmography, and her status as recognized fashion icon.

Rihanna will leave a LEGACY. We even have other copycat artists such as Rita Ora trying to swagger jack Rihanna's image. We can see her influence on budding starlets today. Even Ariana Grande is starting to shed her good girl image in favor of being known as a baddie, all because of Rihanna's impact.

Now to address her talent: who else can captivate her audience for a decade without faltering once? She had humble beginnings with Pon de Replay, allowing her room to develop into the gigantic pop phenonmenon she is today. Her vocal timbre is recognizable, her stage presence is only outmatched by Beyoncé, and she has songwriting credits on every album. She has the Midas touch, able to craft hits with ease. She has experimented with every genre as well: rock, dancepop, EDM, R&B, country, etc. Who else can say that?

Only the pop icon of our generation:

Robyn Rihanna Fenty.


Bow down.

Are you Rihanna, or her manager? Man there is some disputable stuff in this post. I am sorry but this goes too far. You cannot make stuff like this up. A legacy? This is simply crazy stuff to write brother. She may be selling records like cupcakes but that doesn't make her influential for the music industry, i.e; actually doing original music or transforming the music to another level. Everything she does has been done before. She likes attention. That's what she will be remembered for. Not for vocal talent, fashion designing or "acting".

I'm not surprised that someone JOKING about a damaging stereotype of "strong independent black woman" is TREMBLING at the hot chai I spilled on you. But continue to QUOTE. I clearly have yor attention, just like my fave.

Let me guess! You found your father's old 60s records and are still claiming that flops like The Rollingstones and The Beatles are ~relevant~. Not today ma'am! Have you seen dementia ridden Paul McCartney try to stand onstage at the Grammy's? Poor him! Real musi stan, stop!
 
this thread is making me SCREAM

the absolute worthless drive by "I don't know who that is!/Rihanna is a whore/lol PopGaf (:" posts polluting a perfectly okay thread, I live!

Sorry bro to wake you up, but Paul McCartney changed the music industry and ignited a revolution. He is still doing 3 hour sets in his 70's and sings his old songs in the same key. This guy is truly a phenomenon and deserves some respect. I respect Rihanna, but I don't think she is as talented or inspiring as she makes people believe she is.

Rolling Stones and Beatles flops? You don't even deserve a reply.
 
So much bickering over a celebrity relationship, lol.

I can't tell if this is worse than MJ and Presley. I kinda wish we had NeoGAF then.

Expose him. I still look back fondly on the day the Rude Boy music video dropped because it heralded the end of heterosexual Caucasian male "music" supremacy in our society. Poor The Rocks! Poor The Roaches!

right because being an actor is such a stressful job that requires so much effort and energy

lets be real here, rihanna probably exerts more man-hours on a major tour than leo puts in for an entire year worth of filming
Click to expand...

Um... this is not about comparing acting and music but rather comparing Leo and rihanna. My original point was not even about hard work but talent. Leo is where he is because he is a good actor. He is not coasting by titillating or acting glamarous. Rihanna in my opinion is not a talented singer. She is just like other pop singers in today's age who absolutely need to look good and titilate to succeed in the medium. Obviously all of this requires hardwork but I do not think as a musician ( the art form she represents ) she is talented. She probably knows it which is why she has to go through all the trouble of making raunchy videos ever so often because her music is bankrupt. Most mainstream modern music is actually these days but she represents the pinnacle of this trend.

You're stealing all my words. Couldn't have said it better.
 
godelsmetric said:
She might not have the range or power but I do think she has a great voice for what she does with it.

Meanwhile Leo has never turned in a performance strong enough to win an Oscar (I mean even Cher has an Oscar for acting), so idk why you think Rihanna is the one who's lacking in her respective field here.
Click to expand...

You are mistaken to think that the Oscar's or the Grammy's are representative of talent. Judging by the number of actors and directors who are acclaimed for their talent but have never won any oscar, I dont think the oscar barometer is particularly useful. Joaquin Phoenix for example is a very talented actor who has put some great roles. Never won an oscar. Some of the greatest including the like's of Hitchcock, Kubrick etc have never won actually. I am not putting Leo in the same category but he is most certainly a good actor. Not the best but good which is not what I can say of Rihanna's output. It is my opinion.

I agree a little with this, I like a LOT her singles but could not be bothered to listen the albums and don't enjoy her live performances.

She is not, just the fact that she is trying to represent the "fierce black women" in an industry known to fawn over the cute white poptart is a BIG difference, and her sound is very different in every single of her eras.

Her mos successfull video is the one for Diamonds and is not raunchy, neither the one for her latest single FourFiveSeconds..
 
Rihanna isn't as pretty, talented, gifted, rich, powerful and iconic as Beyoncé is. But her music is still very enjoyable.

Definitely more enjoyable than those Indie artists that write their own songs and can play 68593 instruments, but can't make good music even if their life depended on it.

Yikes. I bet Leo doesn't even write his own scripts

he doesn't. and before the straights complain that it's completely different blah blah blah, it's worth noting that there are some people who have the talent to write, act, and direct their own movies. leo just isn't one of the people who's talented enough to do that. he can only act at a sub-oscar-winning level.
 
I wouldn't go so far as to say Rihanna is a trend setter per se, but she's good at picking up on trends and getting songs out before the trend has peaked or is simply over. Her radio presence is huge, too, which frankly is very important to being a pop star. You can't just shit out surprise online albums for your stans to gobble up then claim you're a real pop star when no one else in the population even knows a cut off it and other industry folk questions start to question your ability to make a memorable song. You're niche as fuck at that point.
 
I've always thought she was really attractive. Not just in her appearance, but the way she carries herself. And Leo is just, Leo. The man. So yea, pretty interesting couple if true. More power to them.

Apparently being a pop singer, the world gets handed to you on a silver platter by just looking good vs being and actor where you have to work so much harder for everything . Wow
