    I'm not surprised. Rihanna has put out 7 albums in the last 7 years. The girl has tried.

    BREAKING NEWS: Rihanna is pregnant and Chris is responsible. Rihanna, this morning admitted to being pregnant and said she is more than capable to take care of a child on her own. Rihanna came clean after confrontation by Chris’ girlfriend as to how it happened.

    Rihanna Mmaduakor, a house help of Onitsha Anambra state, admitted to having an affair with her employer, Mr Chris Obi.

      What do you know about vocals? Have you heard Rihanna singn live? She's one of the worst singers on stage.. She has no technique, her stage voice is weak, and her notes are flying all over the place. BEYONCE is one of the Top 5 Best Vocalists alive! Her talent is pure, raw and powerful. Pls, get your facts right. Differentiate ur hatred 4 bey's songs and her amazing vocals!

    Beyoncé has tried joor! Her songs will last for generations and more! Beyoncé is in a whole different league. She has achieved more, she has more star power and respect. If Rihanna should take breaks like beyonce did, she will crumble! Rihanna releases albums every year if possible twice a year! Beyonce gives gaps.. Like every 2 years, and her songs are still hits! Billboard awarded her wit millenium award!they recongnize de force dat beyoncé is!
