I hate when ppl compare these two. Why can’t you like both for different reasons? Yes Bey is a better performer and she’s more reserved but don’t let that fool you. Bey smokes her blunt occasionally and used to be a heavy drinker, but she calmed down after she had Blue Ivy. This is nothing new, everyone knows she just don’t put her business on front page like BadGalRiri. Lol And for that is why the many reasons I love Ri. Not because she’s naked on every mag (even though she hot yu f*ck) but b/c she’s free. She is living her life and she DON’T give a rats ass on what ppl think. Bey fret so much that’s she’s confused and is very afraid to let go. She help created this “image” and now have no freedom to venture out. As soon as she does, she gets backlash and her whole team is sent to “fix”. Who the hell want to live like that? I know I don’t. Ri can be nuff at time, but baby you my gyal for life! Ri is also versatile with her music and no matter what come out her mouth it’s a smash. I could listen to a Rihanna CD from start to finish, but never could to a Beyonce album. It’s just boring to me plus I never been a R&B or hip hop/rap fan. I rather pop, rock, reggae, dance, techno, etc. And if we’re deciding on looks alone, it will have to Ri all day!! Bey looks old, for someone who is only 31, she looks like she’s nearly 40. They have to photo shop each pic she does or lighten it in some way. Ri walks out w/ no makeup and she STILL a ten!!!
