Chris Martin: "Rihanna is the Frank Sinatra of our generation"

[Tasso 17,034]

Quote

“She is the Frank Sinatra of our generation. She can turn anything into gold with that voice. Here’s the thing: if you speak to a good singing teacher about great opera singers, they will talk about consistency of tone. Or there’s a book by Alfred Tomatis about why some people like certain people’s voices and other people hate them, like Bob Dylan or me or whoever, some people say, ‘Oh, I hate that voice’, so there’s a thing about people’s frequency responses – what they are pleased by. Rihanna has this thick tone, so it’s very hard to annoy anybody. It’s like a beautifully squeezed tube of toothpaste. When you think of Rihanna’s voice you think of this whole, rich thing, solid like a tree trunk, and. Drake is pretty similar. But Rihanna’s voice is just delicious for your ear. Sinatra had the same thing; anything he sang sounded pleasing to most people.”

 a singer who is musically ignorant ?  it's Rihanna,a common pop star who has a lot of #1s and broke some records but she's no Sinatra thank you

He's praising her tone, not her overall abilities as a vocalist. There's a huge difference, so stop with the pettiness. 

Rihallah indeed has a very special tone which makes pretty much everything work.

Some of you really need to read things a few times before you post, it only makes you look ignorant and pressed.

Chris is right tho

Excuse you guys ? What do you guys exactly mean ? I love Rihanna and I'm a huge fan but let's be honest,Rihanna is Rihanna and Frank Sinatra is Frank Sinatra.that comparison makes no sense since they're musically different,I'd see Rihanna as a Black Madonna instead because they're similar but I never liked comparisons honestly,I think everybody has got their own style and when people say he/she reminds me of this singer or that one or he/she copied him/her,it kinda irks me you know what I mean ? and then why should I be pressed in the first place ?
