Do people really think that the Rhat is over?

Recommended Posts

sure, her last couple of singles didn't smash like her previous hits, but that's ONLY because they weren't obvious/safe hits. I mean, FourFiveSeconds/BBHM/AO do not have shit on Diamons/Stay/WFL in terms of commercial appeal. eve1 Rihanna is still VERY relevant tho and all she needs is a commercial single (like all of her other hits) to smash the charts rih5

so basically what you are saying is, that the GP has no interest in her at all besides cute lil quick mainstream singles?

no, rihanna is rihanna um1 she's like one of the biggest female artists of the 21st century eve1 but she needs more commercial music in order to completely slay, just like any other artist um1 what im saying is that just because a couple of her singles didnt do as well, it doesnt mean she cant smash with the right material. I mean, katy flopped with birthday and this is how we shit, but that doesnt mean shes over? they were just shit songs...

FourFiveSeconds, American Oxygen and BBHMM was Rihanna's best trio of singles ever tbh. Sure they don't bop as hard as her older smashes, but they'll surely be Rihanna classics in a few years cry6  Anti will scalp so hard cry6

im pretty sure that having 3 consecutive underperforming lead singles and delaying your album for over a year does not compare to having two (platinum) flop singles in an era that already had scrapped two massive smashes by then (now +12m sellers) lmfao1

and songs can be risky or out of the norm and still slay dead4 just ask madonna or 2009gaga.

Yeah like Katy tbh.

katy hasn't released anything risky yet. but then again she's on her 3rd album. rihanna has released 8. katy still has time to experiment.

just hope that experimenting doesn't end her career like it did your faves'

boo, dark horse and roar smashed because they are GENERIC/CATCHY as fuck. unconditionally (the 2ND SINGLE), birthday, and this is how we shit ALL flopped because they were shit and un-catchy. That's how the pop world works, especially for artist like rihanna and katy perry, whose entire success depends on how generic their music is. Gaga and Madonna are another thing, lol.

This.

When will people realize that underperforming =/= flopping 

 

the ATRL answer:

Flopping is barely managing to scrape Gold if you're an established artist. (Bionic)

Underperforming is performing below expectations but selling well compared to others. (Born This Way)

So Gaga using gays to sell her Born This Way( Express Yourself tribute) single wasn't generic? Cause there's been plenty of gay anthems before....

it's just embarrassing and frustrating that she's wasted so much time trying to create "timeless" songs when any of the million rejects that have surfaced: Lean On, Half the Selena album, even Go would have SMASHED carla1dead2

bitch is taking ages as if she was involved in the songwriting, production, design, etc. dead2 she never has dead2

rhat took a year off and forgot she's only meant to sing what she's given dead2

listen to the old white men rhat dead2 tick tok........

DH being generic when it was a first in pop music and everyone started ripping it off right after it smashed lmfao1 again, the 3 singles you mentioned are all at least certified once unlike most of rihturd's flop singles. the quality of a song isn't measured by how generic or catchy it is, it's subjective and idc bout ur opinion lol

and gaga will be a flop despite of how generic her music gets, don't place her next to madonna lmao

you obviously don't know what generic means... what are you even talking about dead2 how is releasing a lead single targeted to homosexuals, when you're the biggest pop star on earth, generic? dead2

I mean, time will only tell with any of our faves. Hopefully katy does experiment though, who wants to be known for putting out the same album 3 times in a row.

i think what you're talking about is commonly referred to as "pandering"

BBHM was very safe for RIHANNA. Her entire image is based around being a "bad girl" so that song is perfect for her and what people would expect from her. Urban radio ate it up and they all expected her to release something like that. FourFiveSeconds is more of a song that people wouldn't expect to her release.
