While I love that performance of 'Grown Woman' It doesn't really pertain to this...

that said Rihanna is out there doing her thing, she is young and beloved everywhere. It's not fair to compare Rihanna and Bey. Bey has been out a while. If they had both come out at the same time, then there would be more to compare. they are at two different points in their careers.

I think Rihanna has her own stage presence and the younger demographic responds well to her. I wish she would put a little more polish into her routines, but her ballads are usually done very well. She may not be the chore, glitz kinda artist.
