People keep saying that Rita ain't all that well was Rihanna all that when she debuted in 2005 or did her image and sound go through an entire transformation hence Good Girl Gone Bad. Rihanna had mediocre success it was not until the 3rd album she really had a worldwide hit . Rihanna is just lucky, she did not get dropped and if she was not signed to Def Jam with jayz as her manager with Beyonce's support she would not be as popular, along with her Chris Brown collaborations as well. It's called marketing people, if Teiarra Marie were still signed to rocafella she would be a huge success. All those artists who get signed have the quote on quote it factor whether it be genuine talent charisma or their sex appeal, its when they sign contracts and get so much $$$$$ invested into their albums is when you see hype and marketing. Rihanna had her shine now that Rita is getting a little shine people are panicking
