Britney uses autotune the way Jimmy Hendrix used a guitar. It's an instrument. Not something used to compensate for a lack of anything.

Firebomb. Shut Up And Drive. S&M. And Rockstar 101 all have elements of rock.

The point was that lots of respected artists were just a result of their production/writing team.... as is Rihanna. Things haven't changed over time.

There is nothing new about this, that's for sure. However, people saying 'divas of the 90s/80s did it too' forget that those people could sing. Rihanna's vocals do not best Whitney, Celine, or Mariah....
Even Britney Spears, who like everybody else was re-imaged, had some form of musical ability. Rihanna, at most, just has a very distinctive voice. Rihanna's appeal is based on the fact that she is 'exotic' and makes friendly music.
She is not the first, and she won't be the last. People don't really seem to care that much either, in terms of supporting her singles and videos. Just looking at the business side to the industry, Rihanna isn't doing much of anything wrong really. Problems begin to rise when you factor in 'talent,' 'musician,' or 'artist.'

Rihanna has had (continues to have) a career that millions would KILL to have. You know it, I know it, the industry knows it.
She has a winning formula and it's just now reaching its peak. The fact that she is even this much of a topic of conversation and the world watches her every move is self-evident/self-explanatory.
She never entered the industry claiming to be Stevie Wonder. She's a popstar and a history-making one at that. All will deal.

What envy? He said he liked her music. She's easily one of my favorite artists but let's be real, her A-list team is a HUGE reason her music is so amazing & infectious. As long as she doesn't write her music, she will have to face this type of criticism, which is why I really wish she would start actually writing more of her own work.

"Elements of Rock" does not equal a rock song.
That reminds me of a thread long ago where fellow Monsters were claiming Judas was tribal cause of its "tribal elements" just no

Oh please. Huge Pop stars have TEAMS. How do you expect to get your product out there. People like that really are pressed because their time has came and gone.

So when you're thinking of asking Miss Jackson, 'What have you done for me lately?' remember that Britney, Ciara, and Beyoncé live in the house that Janet built.

!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone acts as if Rihanna is the worse thing to happen to the industry and she is the first girl to not write most of her records, people are just more aware of it

Agreed, and the difference between the quality of her music where he has some form of writing credits is quite substantial e.g. Rated R. She has so much potential but fails to fulfill it.
