I like rihannas songs and she's pretty cool so stand dont attack me. My only problem is that the way stans talk about her make it seem like she's like Mariah Carey in the 90s or Madonna in the 80/90s. She's not there yet at all. Yes she's big and successful but just a few levels above Katy Perry. I know she sold a bunch o singles but so did Katy Perry (record for most number one singles off one album). Yes her albums sale good worldwide but not enough to make her the royal entity stans make her out to be. Like many people have said before me to reach that status she should focus on critical acclaim, grammies (she doesn't even have one after 6 album), memorable performances, better stage presence, and command respect instead of tweens's parrents' money
