Yawn! What does being a born citizen of the United States have to do with anything??? Their are countless artists who have accomplished alot that aren't citizens of the USA. Rihanna is nothing special. We can can go back and forth all day on their accomplishments but at the end of the day Beyoncé is and always will be her superior. She's had 2 very successful careers during her time in the industry. DC 69 million record's sold, 30 million album's, 39 million singles. Her solo career, 32.5 million album's, 118 million singles. Beyoncé is recognized by many including her predecessors and music peers as having the best voice currently in popular music. The GP, Critics and yes her musical predecessors and peers all agree Beyoncé is that bitxh when it comes to her live performances. No matter how much the Gavvy want to downplay it. Beyoncé is already dubbed as being the best touring female act of 10s. As for Rihanna, i highly doubt she'll end the decade being the best selling female, not when the likes of Taylor Swift and Adele are around, her music peers. Beyonce has managed 18 year's of mainstream relevancy in music. Rihanna has 10.
