LoL why is the Navy in here hating on two vocally superior artists (Bey and Bran)? Give Rihanna a mic and a stage and what will she do? Stand there and sing the song exactly how the writers/producers taught her in the studio? Adding nothing to the song to bring it to life? Exactly. She has no vocal talent at all. Give Beyonce and mic and watch her rip the song to shreds and improvise. Same with Brandy. They actually have TALENT. REAL, PURE TALENT. Rihanna said it herself.

Rihanna - "Beyonce is my biggest idol"
Rihanna - "Brandy's Afrodisiac album really helped to inspire that as well, because that album I listen to all day, all night. When I was in the studio that was the album that I listened to all the time and I really admired that every song was a great song. You could listen to the entire album. And I was like, ''You know what? I have to make an album like this."
Rihanna - "You can't deny that voice! (Brandy)"

CASE CLOSED.
