Sorry, there were many other black women out there wearing the punk/goth/alt/rave thing before this girl even came to the states, me being one of them.

But here we are, conversing about Rihanna, while looking at her photo. Somebody on her team must be doing something right.

She always seemed to me to be a bootleg version of Beyonce, but being a pop star does not mean being talented. Just means you have the ability to sell your self as the flavor of the month. A soon as as the next cute light skinned girl who can reasonably hold a note, backed by a major label, with the right celeb friends, comes along with a catchy dance tune than we will see if she really has staying power.

One thing I am sure of is that she damn sure isnt worth an ugly debate over.

Yes Jaida,

Well said:
“All I’m saying is there’s a lot more she could be doing than parading around the streets in designer clothes and doing things to get unnecessary attention.”

Amen!

Preach on!!!! Preach on!! You read my mind.

To MMWHATCHASAY: This has nothing to do with tearing black women down. There are plenty of us working hard and I think I can speak for everybody at Clutch when I say we DO give props to hardworking black women. There are plenty of women who have gone above and BEYOND Rihanna, but they’re still underrated. So don’t give me that bull about “black women putting other black women down”. It’s not even about that because if she was any other race and I thought she sucked, I would say so.

Then to Islandnista: You’ve been the most condescending and hypocritical person in this post! You claim we’re putting her down because she’s from the Caribbean, yet you turn around and put down African-American women.

Mostly everybody in the music industry is manufactured (especially those who lack talent). The problem I have with Rihanna is she hasn’t been consistent until recent and even then, that’s questionable. She conformed to what would sell to white folks [aka the biggest consumers of music]. I could see if she started out that way, then it would be different, but I think she gets by on looks and what she wears and I don’t think that’s acceptable. I honestly think she has a lot of growing up to do as a woman, especially as a black woman because one day someone is gonna take her spot. They’re gonna be prettier than her, maybe have a hint of talent and personality and everybody’s gonna move on to the next “it” girl. She’s been a label puppet for the past two years. She’s been doing what Def Jam wants and needs her to do to sell records because like I said, her first two albums were not poppin’. All I’m saying is there’s a lot more she could be doing than parading around the streets in designer clothes and doing things to get unnecessary attention.

It’s totally fair! Have you been on Bossip, YBF, Sandra Rose and all the others? Everyday it’s something about Rihanna. Her walking down the street, her doing this and that. Now, I understand it may not be her fault, but we are OVERLOADED with her DAILY! The media has to stand up and say ENOUGH! Give someone else some daily shine. Highlight over up and coming celebs to help them rise.

Right now, the only person I see daily on all the sites and blogs are Rihanna, not Beyonce. Also, any other celeb sure – but it’s more Rihanna than anyone else!

It’s unfair to single Rihanna out. Name me any celebrity that does not have a personal stylist that plans almost every outfit and what image they will portray to the public.
