There has been a steady decline from GGGB to now. Many speculate its due to personal woes, and perhaps she is coping the best way she knows how, BUT Rihanna has demonstrated that she knows better than to let anything get in the way of her career (hence why she threw CB’s ass under the buss in that GMA interview; conscience of her). Smart move right? Well so is selling sex in an effort to boost attention on her. Rihanna is pathetic. Can anyone say, Rated R! She's heading down a dangerous path with this "overt sex" strategy. Even her fans are complaining of her distastefulness. I am not a fan by any means; but as a believer in true artistry, I think it will be difficult for her to earn any real respect if she continues this way. Rihanna is not a reputable artist. It is appalling how blatantly trashy and attention seeking she is. It’s like she's not even trying to hide it anymore. It’s so contrived!!!!!!!!!This is what happens when people get things too easily. She hasn’t had to work for it, at all!!!!!!!!If she did have to work for it, she would treat herself and her career with a little more respect and dignity. I can’t see anyone taking her seriously. Rihanna is the flavor of the moment...she will not last much longer. She's burning herself out sadly.
