you know its pretty sad that the music industry has turned into﻿ this kinda competition and turn into this level of hatred towards an artist who is simply enjoying what she loves. ok she may not be talented as beyonce but they both came from two completely different backgrounds. beyonce was brought up with a professional record producer her family paid for her to go to all these fancy schools and get all these singing and dance lessons while her father helped create her career.if it wasnt for beyonces father, she would not be where she is today, she would not have been in destiny's child which ultimately paved the way for her success as a solo artist while rihanna simply lived﻿ in a small house in barbados, with a troubled childhood as her father use to domestically abuse her mother. Rihanna has came from NOTHING and has achieved so much in 6 years, and to think that people are calling her a talentless stripper just because she cant get a number 1 album is appauling. does it really matter about a number 1 album when your albums prove they can have longevity and sell millions worldwide? both these woman are talented, and yes beyonce may be better overall but they are two completely different women and we should be applauding both for their success instead of draggin them down and﻿ comparing them according to album sales and figures.
