You fools kill me with that "Rihanna's voice is unique" crap. If "unique" is another word for "bad" or "ugly," then you're right...but her bad, ugly ("unique") voice is nothing ***I*** wanna hear. Quite frankly, it offends me that someone with such a terrible sound is calling themselves a singer and is on the radio. "Singers" like Rihanna make a mockery of the art form.

I like singers who can carry a tune and whose voices aren't so off-putting that they me cringe. You don't gotta be Whitney or Patti, but your shit has to be at least PLEASANT. Rita has that; Rihanna doesn't. And for THAT reason alone, Rita is 10x better than Rihanna. Fuck "unique," I want good...or at least tolerable.
