Let’s face it, while the likes of Beyonce and Lady GaGa have seen their stars rise on the back of their undeniable talent, Rihanna has seen her brand soar on the back of marketing tactics employed by the geniuses that oversee her career.
Indeed, much like an empty vase Brand Rihanna is impressive at face value but a little disappointing when one scratches at the surface to find there is nothing there. No vocal skill, no real credentials as a writer and absolutely nothing to say as a live act.
