I respect her hussle.

You do need a team behind you that believes in you.

Rihanna could have been dropped after ITLTYW flopped but DEF JAM said nope we believe in you and they went to drawing board and S.O.S was a huge number 1 smash and she went onto have a couple other top 10 hits, however DEF JAM still knew that Rihanna had more potencial so they found the right song to launch her into superstardom.

Shontelle i dont know though because T Shirt was an amazing song yet it didnt crack top 20. Had Rihanna sang it it would have been number 1.

So if an artist cant make it even with a hit song then it means they never will.

The fact of the matter is not everyone is meant to be famous no matter how talented theyu maybe.

She still making money though as she is a song writer and co wrote Man Down which will be Rihannas next top 10 smash
