It looks like all that hair colouring has finally started to affect Rihanna’s brain. The talent-starved Bajan sat down with the BBC’s Radio 1 today to talk about her upcoming ‘Loud’ album and pointed out that when choosing material for the LP she “didn’t want the generic pop record that Ke$ha or Lady Gaga or Katy Perry could just do”. Peep what Rihanna had to say below:
During the making of the album, the singer had a particular agenda in mind: “I wanted songs that were all Rihanna songs, that nobody else could do. I didn’t want the generic pop record that Ke$ha or Lady Gaga or Katy Perry could just do and it’ll work. I wanted a song, or songs, that were Rihanna songs, that only I could do, had that little West Indian vibe to it, had that certain tone, a certain sass and a certain energy.”
Noticeably aware of the trends in today’s pop scene, Rihanna explained it’s easy to croon to a tune that just about anyone else could sing.
“It’s really easy to do that because of the whole dance-music movement happening right now,” she said. “It’s easy to get a dance beat and just throw a song on top of it and call it a hit.” {Source}
Who lied and told this poor child that her music is unique or groundbreaking in any way? Certainly Rihanna can’t be so deluded to think that her music has any depth beyond the scope of well-crafted beats and catchy hooks.
She really needs to realise that she is at the bottom of the industry’s talent pool and that any stray cat in the back alley of the club could cover her material. Beyond the fact that the tone of Rihanna’s voice is quite unique, her music is far from original. Indeed, everything that she has put forward to date was done by Beyonce, Britney Spears and Brandy before her. Furthermore, Rihanna doesn’t even co-write or co-produce her records.
Rihanna must really think that she is one of the kind and she’s right. Of all the artists topping the Billboard charts in today’s industry, she is the only one without any discernible talent. Yes I said it.
