@Rihanna_Forever....

Creole is all that. The instrumentation is everything. I feel like I am at a HBCU(Historical Black College/University) football game. And I love her head voice Cresendo arrangement on the chorus.

And here is order of MY Bey and Rihanna albums. I separated them because I pretty much prefer Bey's music anyways and normally, I compare artists with THEIR work against each other rather than others.

Bey: B'day>IASF>DIL

Rihanna: GGGB>Rated R>Loud>MOTS>AGLM

@Shit

It took me a while to get into Sweet Dreams. The thing that put B'day over IASF in my mind is that uptempos on B'day trumps IASF. Even Diva which is my fave uptempo on SF, pales in comparision to the uptempos on B'day. But if there was the I Am CD only, they(B'day and IASF) would be equal, you can that they are cohesive and there were a purpose behind the arrangment of the songs(individually and collectively). But then you wouldn't have Sasha Fierce so it wouldn't work. I just wish the production went harder, SD is an example of this. Video Phone is another example.
