Since you guys are already talking about Rihanna....

I honestly do not get how it is that Rihanna can show her face in public, let alone continue to have a successful career and be taken seriously by so many people when there are people like Janet, Lady Gaga and Beyonce, even Ciara to a lesser extent, in the game putting on performances like this, while she does the same thing for every performance, does nothing but strut up and down, and relies SOLELY on her mediocre vocals and other people's music. That baffles me to no end. I'm not a hater, I'm a lover of talent, and it's just not right for people to make money half-assing their way through their job, whatever that job may be. I don't care if you're a garbage man, a librarian, a pop star, a psychologist or a carpenter, I have no patience for people who half-ass and quarter-ass their way through life.
