@HARDCASTLE Rihanna may have fans internationally but she is NOT a household name. The only thing that would have made her one was the beatdown she got from Chris Brown. She also can't sing or dance. She's mediocre but people like her for her looks and her fashion sense. I don't dislike her but I think that's the reason why many people criticize her. She just isn't very talented. At least Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Alicia Keys have vocal talent.
