She has songs in her discography that Taylor would never be able to pull off. 

 

Yes Taylor would never be able to get away with releasing bodies of work as generic as Music of the Sun, Loud, Talk that Talk...

She wouldn't have fans streaming these albums today.

Taylor literally has 1989 :deadbanana2:

And how on earth is Music of The Sun generic in any way.

 

Anyway this Rih vs Taylor thing has gotten tired at this point. We know Rih is the better singer and Taylor writes and this argument has been going in circles for a while now and needs to end, nothing new or interesting is going to be said.

1989 is less generic and showcases more musicianship than any Rihanna work except Anti. Music of The Sun is mostly generic filler made to pad an album tracklist like most of Rihanna discography

Musicianship and being generic are two different things though. 1989 is one of the most generic albums, it's good in parts but still generic, and while someone could argue that MOTS has fillers (it actually doesn't and is a good album) it is certainly not the kind of album that's made to be a massive success with its mostly dancehall and Caribbean inspired songs. Like we're supposed to believe an album filled with Caribbean inspired songs is more generic than songs like Shake It Off be serious :rip:

LOUD was nominated for the AOTY you all hold so deeply to your hearts so that’s interesting

Who? I don't need some industry awards to know whether an album is good or not, I have ears for that. But if you want to use that as an argument you should know that Taylor albums are widely seen as much better than Rihanna's.

If they have nothing else to offer, then no.

 

Thankfully, Ms. Swift is an excellent songwriter and creative genius. Her vocals may not be out of this world but they are perfect for the kind of music that she makes.

Sadly, no. Black people have to be excellent at every field before people notices them. :sad:

This effortless clock. Gather them.

Rihanna can't hold a note to save her life. The most talentless pop singer to ever exist, I fear. An industry plant. 

Posted

No they wouldn’t.

There are several examples but Rihanna having a career is probably the best.

Yes look at janet jackson, not to mention her constant lipsynching

Janet used to serve vocals 

Posted

Rihanna, Janet Jackson immediately come to mind

 

And they don't have a redeeming quality like Taylor's generational talent in songwriting

i challenge you to find me a single video of Janet singing out of tune live. I’ll find you 100 videos of Taylor.
 

Janet has a soft voice naturally which does not mean she’s vocally unskilled. Anyone that has actual vocal knowledge would tell you she’s 100x the vocalist Taylor is let’s not :dies:

Please NEVER say the words Janet and vocalist in the same sentence again. :bibliahh:

Taylor Swift might be a terrible singer but there are many black artists that are just as bad at singing live. Weird thread...

I’m not sure it’s possible when she lipsyncs everything. :cm:

Rih exists yall

The standard is definitely higher, especially for black women. There is many talentless and mediocre men around though, of all colours and ethnicities. 

Posted

Yes.

 

Lil Nas X, anyone? 

 

Alicia Keys, Ciara, Kehlani... all made careers out of barely being able to sing. :rip:

There are quite a few lol. A lot of whisper singers are hot nowadays.

the OTHs are so mad

 

we LOVE to see it :ahh:
