Why are some of you riding mary j blige all of a sudden? It's not so much that you are fans and supporters of mary you just want mary to out-sell rihanna so that you can have something to throw back in rihanna's fans face. No disrespect to queen mary but don't ride her because of your hate for rihanna. On another note beyonce and rihanna are 2 different people. Rihanna is real she's out-spoken and don't give a fuck what nobody say or think that's why more people can relate to her. Beyonce tries to pretend that everything is perfect in her world but it's not she is FAKE and people can see through that. Get over it damn it's rihanna's time if beyonce is an "icon" as someone said than why are you so worried about rihanna and her record sales? Rihanna is a threat to you bey stans it's as simple as that. The only thing you bey stans can do is bring up beyonce's past accomplishments BIG DEAL! 16 purchased grammys. Aretha franklin has 18 grammys alison krauss has 26 grammys .... point? And whoever said beyonce has a diamond album ...OH! DEAR - YOUR DESPERATE) beyonce does not have an album that has sold over 10 million copies in the us alone That's the qualification for a diamond album. Go educate yourself. None of her albums are on the list of BEST SELLING ALBUMS .... She's all smoke and mirrors PERIOD, POINT BLANK!
