In reply to Hmmm....

Yeah I could’ve written that better. I agree with you. Rihanna is absolutely not the brains behind her operation. From her songs, to her clothes, to her visuals etc. I don’t consider her an artist herself. But I do think that she’s excelled off of OTHER people’s artistry. So there SOME artistry there, in her repertoire, it’s just not hers. Because I think she def has a defined sound, even if it’s a bad one, lol. She has one. And at least her band of artists actually created for her a lane in the industry. Even in spite of her poor vocal ability. She was still excelling for a longer period of time than 5 months between albums. She was still racking up number 1s. Ariana on the other hand has people doing this exact same thing, following the exact same formula with a better voice, but isn’t seeing the same success. I mean, she’s making songs that get forgotten literally within weeks. She’s releasing albums not even a year apart. So I was trying to say that they are doing the same thing, using the same mediocre approach to music, Ariana’s just doing it worse.
