LOL, I'm not a Gaga stan, I'm just stating THE FACTS. Rihanna is a puppet, and changes her image according to whatever is guaranteed to sell records. Gaga already took the world by storm when Rated R came out, and at that point it just looked like Rihanna was trying to keep up by attempting to "out-edge" Gaga with the crazy outfits and crazy performance props. Considering how she can't sing or perform well, Rihanna actually is overrated when there are artists who are waaaaaaaaaayyy more talented and creative than she is, yet don't have her success.

Oh, and I don't think there's a single Gaga fan who's pressed over Rihanna. Gaga has staying power because she has actual talent. When the crazy wigs and costumes become stale, Gaga can drop all of that and wow people with her singing and piano-playing skills. She's likely to stay around for far longer than Ri-Ri, who on the other hand only has image to go on.
