Josh Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Rihanna is one of the few pop girls who succeeded in going Good Girl Gone Bad for an era, the public remained on her side.

Xtina wouldn't had done Back to Basics Miley wouldn't had done Younger Now if the public hadn't had a strong negative reception to Stripped and Bangerz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalism Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Rihanna was always a bad gal and she was forced to act cute That's the main difference. The others feel forced Rih doesn't 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Just now, Josh said: Xtina wouldn't had done Back to Basics Miley wouldn't had done Younger Now I'm not sure this is true. Xtina and Miley are artists who always switch up their style every era. Xtina changed her style from B2B to Bionic and again from Bionic to Lotus.

CamiloPg_ Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 The topic with Stripped and Bangerz was that the eras were so tacky, xtina and miley crossed the line and the gp saw them as bad example. Rihanna kept the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illuminati Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I don't think there was a big shift for her to be honest. It was kinda her breakthrough era so a lot of people didn't even see her as any different. It's a running joke among the fans that her first two albums were mixtapes Britney, Miley, Xtina etc all had some of their biggest eras BEFORE changing up their image, so it had a different outcome.

dman4life Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 The music was top tier and plus Rihanna's shift didn't seem nearly as drastic. While Stripped was and is amazing Christina had kinda went all out slutty during that era. Britney's transition was just a little better received but Justin being as popular as he was and airing their dirty laundry shifted the publics opinion towards her.

xxxlamb Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Because Rihannas version of GGGB was more about becoming an intelligent adult rather than a **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghiles Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 She wasn't a major star as a "good girl" so I don't think the comparison with the other popstars makes sense. Most people experienced this era as Rihanna's breakthrough, not a major shift in the career of someone they were already familiar with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CristianGarcia Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 It didn't scream I'm sexy and bad it was more of I'm taking control, and I'm an artist that should be taken seriously. Everything about that era was mature, articulate and the music was serving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev8 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 On the Xtina,Britney,Miley etc, mentions.. Rihanna wasn't as "good" as Their image played. She wasn't going for the children/teen demographic, at least not as much. Her music was much more for the clubs even at the beginning, compared to the former mentioned at least. So ofc she didn't have any sort of backlash and what-not .. On her sounds.. Rih added more edge to the music with GGGB Altho tbh Umbrella played a big role in pushing everyone to check her out even more..I think her aesthetic change helped her a lot too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev8 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (also) And lets not with the "good music".. She was already having nice songs (that were hits!) before GGGB Pon De Replay, SOS, Unfaithful, Break It off ... If anything, her previous eras were increasing the hype for her 3rd era. I would say that it all fit perfectly with the stylistic change and Umbrella falling into her hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klein Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) The music was serving and the good girl gone bad transition was more to something sexy rather than sexual, so it felt very natural. Edited August 25 by Klein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miichael Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Her image didn't really change that drastically, her styling just became more sleek and mature, she's always been fairly unpolarizing. She also had Umbrella which completely redefined her career and changed her trajectory forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesthetic bih Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 1) Good music 2) Sexy fits her because of her natural sex appeal 3) It doesn't feel forced, she was authentic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cain Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I mean she didn't really go 'bad' as in controversial or crazy. She just had an image overhaul and started to stand out, she shed the 'mini Beyoncé' accusations and went full Pop, got her signature black haircut and looked edgy and sexy The album was full of hits and it was just her time to break through into superstardom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selena was a lot more classy and sensual with her image shift and not overly explicit and raunchy like Miley was with hers.

nostalgic Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 She had the charisma to pull it off which made it feel like a natural and effortless transition for her. Also: Umbrella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
