i luv Rihanna's voice. And apparently I'm not the only one, that's why her albums are selling. That doesn't mean Rihanna can't sing, it just means that you don't like her sound and that's ok. But don't belittle her talent because she's one helluva model and endorser. Much like most singers that come into the industry at a young age, she'll get better with time as far as stage presence (performances) and vocal abilities. U see how Ashanti's gotten better since the last album because she's been working with a vocal coach.
