Two things amaze me about Rihanna

I wonder if her lack of talent has anything at all to do with her sales though. I bet it is just that people in her target audience don't buy cds anymore.

Her songs are very catchy even though her voice is a cracked up mess. I am glad though that even with radio shoving songs/people down our throats, they don't determine who actually sells the most anymore. They had far too much control and I can only hope things like this are a sign of their power fading. Rihanna will...

^ Aww. I was just curious about this from the OP:

(and yes, I already know all the excuses Rihanna fans)

I don't think Rihanna has fans hard core enough to come up with excuses.

IDK how to explain this b/c I can't but I feel like Rihanna is one of those artists that can't make it really BIG. I mean, like she'll always be under someone.....I don't fucking know how to explain it. Like I can picture Amy Winehouse as a big name (lets take out the drugs factor for a minute) but I can't see Rihanna like that. Same thing with Jordin Sparks. I don't really see/hear a lot of promo about her...

What are the excuses Rihanna fans come up with? I'm interested.

Yep...but it is funny to me that in this case the talented artists ARE selling more. I do think Kid Rock is actually really talented as...

Her voice is so nasally! I don't know how people like it and I don't think her songs are that good.

Kid Rock sucks. Rihanna sucks, too but not as much as Kid Rock.

I like some of her songs, they're catchy and all. What I don't get is why people think she's so hot. She had a gigantic head and a little face...she kind of looks like a cartoon to me.

she's making her money in promotions/ads anyway i think than music. she's more of an "personality" IMO than a musician.

I kind of think that Rihanna and Jordin Sparks try a little too hard.

Colbie Caillat, Amy Winehouse, Kid Rock, and Jack Johnson are a certain kind of artist. They're "I'm unique/different/independent/authentic/real/down-to-earth/realatable" artists. People love that.

Rihanna tries to hard to be a bad girl and Jordin just tries to hard period.

You seem to be confused I am comparing two artists that have had very, very different album...

She has bad album sales? How is that possible? She's fucking everywhere!

I know! I think she *just* hit 1.3 million and that is after like...YEARS of saturation in promotion, awards, press, airplay, videos, AND a re-release. It just amazes me that it is not at least at 2 million by now. Jordin kind of reminds me of Rihanna-lite-she was an Idol winner with two massive hits and is stalled...

She's a tricky bitch. *gives squinty side eye* I don't even like her but I end up liking so much of her stuff. She's a crafty one.

1. How she cannot sell an album to save her life. Seriously, Kid Rock has sold about the same as her and that is including her 5 billion hits, being showered with awards and press, AND a rerelease on her part. KID ROCK. (and yes, I already know all the excuses Rihanna fans)
