What is your issue with Rihanna, seriously? No, seriously. I've seen you go crazy for artist who are marginally talented (prime example above) but for some reason, Rihanna seems to kill your spirit. LMAO.

From what I can tell, Rihanna sings the way she sings purposely, the "yodeling" affect is designed to give her voice an edge, it's a vocal affectation that makes her sound distinctive, just as Cher had an affectation when she when she carries her notes at the end, Michael Jackson had an affectation with, "he hee" , Whitney Houston uses one from time to time with, "Yay ee, ee ee" - it's what she does.

Rihanna may not be your cup of tea, but GEEZ, get over it. If the people who read this site everactually LISTEN to the people you actually try to force on us, they're ABSOLUTELY aware of the fact that you wouldn't know talent if it sang you to sleep every night, and with that said, "you're wasting your time with these Rihanna rants."

I'm out.
