"You're just a Riri fanboy with a couple of slogans that don't really mean anything in the real world" and you're just a hater who's wasting his time hating on a much more successful person, while that person is out there in the real world adding more achievements and successes to her list, and more money to her pocket.
"You're too young and green to have any idea of what truly live playing and musicianship mean"
Again, my age has nothing to do with it, just because I don't like older artists/singers doesn't mean I'm young and know nothing about music. However, I may be young, but the music critics who praised Rihanna's artistry definitely aren't. From TIME magazine to Rolling Stone to Billboard, all these MUSIC CRITICS disagree with you.
"Rihanna is not a creditable singer in any way (and why people like Janet Jackson, Erykah Badu or Lauryn Hill are/were in a whole different playing field as vocalists, performers and songwriters)"
She may not be a credible singer for you, but the 196 awards she won in just 10 years say hello! She may not be a credible singer for you, but the many music LEGENDS who worked with her may disagree, such as Paul McCartney, Elton John, Eminem etc... Rihanna has more Grammys (8) than Janet Jackson who has only 6, she also has more #1s on Billboard Hot 100 (13) than Janet who only has 10. The other 2 are irrelevant.
"Anyone can read your age and lack of judgment from what you're saying or typing" in fact, anyone can read your hatred, delusion, and ignorance from what you're typing. I'm typing FACTS, and only FACTS, quoting MUSIC CRITICS, while you're here giving your irrelevant opinion.
"Umbrella is iconic because of its 'ella 'ella" hook" - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...."Yeah because someone like you knows better than the MUSIC CRITICS (Rolling Stone - Entertainment Weekly - Time - The Grammy's - etc...). I was simply quoting what music critics said about Umbrella.
"Rihanna is merely a shopfront doll for a bunch of corporate dealers, producers and strategists, and these days she's also personally a basket case. She's essentially a manufactured clothes-hanger 'starlet'." Yet she is worth more than $143 million. She's also the highest paid female celebrity to sit front row at fashion shows ($100,000). She sold out many arenas. Rihanna made history at the kickoff of Morocco's annual Mawazine Music Festival by performing for a crowd of 150,000; a new record in the country's capital. Rihanna also made history by becoming the youngest artist to ever headline a show at Paris' Stade de France, at the age of 25, stealing the distinction from Lady Gaga who performed at the stadium the year before at the age of 26. Rihanna also performed at Millennium Stadium and two times at the Twickenham Stadium on June 10, 2013 and June 15 & 16, 2013 and again became the youngest artist ever to sell out the stadiums. Rihanna performed to a crowd of 65,000 in Singapore during Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday September 22, 2013. It was one of the biggest concert crowds in recent history. Also, Rihanna's shows in South Africa were a commercial success. Rihanna made history on Sunday night when she became the youngest ever singer to sell out the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. Rihanna was named the fifth-highest touring artist of 2013 by Billboard magazine, earning a gross of $137,982,530 over the course of 87 shows, of which 84 were sold out. On Pollstar?'?s year-end chart of the top one hundred grossing worldwide tours, from January 1 to December 31, 2013, the Diamonds World Tour was placed at number six with a gross of $141.9 million from the shows that were played during the given time period. Tickets were sold with an average gross of $1,867,248 per city.
