Honey, the only reason Jay-z signed her and spent money on her was because she was very MARKETABLE. She was a pretty island girl with a unique sounding voice. Even though she could neither sing, dance, or perform well, she had the IMAGE so what that person said wasn't a lie. Besides, the only reason why she was asked to collaborate with several other artists was because of how popular she was at the time. I respect Rihanna for trying but to say she was signed because of her "talent" is far reaching. Let's not be delusional now.
