HE IS NOT HATING ON ANYONE IT'S JUST AN OBSERVATION PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! Unlike the close minded people that just posted. I happen to agree with Sam. Seriously, the lasting power of certain artist are not as redundant as they use to be. Seriously, this isn't a big secret and it's not just Rihanna who is suffering, it's Janet and Mariah and Ashanti(who use to actually have No.1 singles. Anybody remember those days?) Rihanna is not the only female artist in the world who has remade her image and sound. Best believe that she copied that stuff from other people who have done it way before her. Look and all. Somebody needs to do their homework.
