I know it must really bug Beyonce that she will never catch the woman who's career her husband help launch and flourish.

I honestly don't think Beyonce cares, she's had a he11 of a career, I don't think she's insecure about Rihanna

but on a personal note I do like Rihanna's music better, I was just listening to ANTI last night

I think that these women prefer Rihanna over Beyoncé because they perceive Rihanna to be more real and authentic. They literally see Beyoncé as a privileged industry plant and Rihanna as the artist who started from the bottom and reached the top with talent and hard work. Actually Beyoncé is the most talented and professional of the two. She has Better vocals, better stage presence, better energy and better performances in her live shows.

To these women Beyoncé is too aspirational, secretive, orderly, corporate, perfect, boring, sanitized, machine-like, professional, they just can’t relate to her. She’s out of reach to them and they find it impossible to emulate her. In their eyes, She’s too good to be true. They believe artists are more human, credible and genuine if they go through struggles and rexpose their flaws, failures and bad habits.

Most women feel they can be Rihanna because her style/image/vibes/ethos makes her more relatable and accessible- copying her image is still within reach- another reason why they prefer her. It’s easier to become Rihanna than to become beyonce. Rihanna is openly sexual, more vulgar, and doesn’t even pretend to be a classy, pure and perfect woman- I mean she was actually marketed as the vulnerable good girl gone bad. That’s literally the title and theme of one of her earlier albums(the one with the international, career changing hit single umbrella, if I recall correctly)

Beyoncé is viewed as the standard of excellence and deep down a lot of women can’t reach it.

Also rihanna musical repertoire is much more pop/catchy/easily digestible for the average person. All her hit singles are catchy as fukk. Umbrella is a melodic ear worm, you hear this song once and you will never forget it again
I don't know why they would even think that since Beyonce was performing since childhood and started off in a group. I remember when the two other original DC members were kicked out and then the replacement girl got kicked out, DC was getting a lot of hate in particular Beyonce.

If anything, Rihanna should be considered the plant since she was groomed (not in a sexual way) to be the next big star when she first came out. She had to change her image (or embrace who she really was) to really start making it big.

AND she became a billionaire on her own.

She will never catch Rhianna's record sales, even though RiRi hasn't made a studio album in 8 years. I think that's the ONLY reason why she's still making music :mjlol:

Is it Rihanna or could it be because Beyonce's new music is still going platinum/gold and her last tour grossed 500 million+

Why would she retire now?

Think she wants to keep trying for a AOTY more than anything

Over the years I always have been shocked with how much women tell me they prefer Rihanna over Beyonce. Never understood if they love Rihanna or dislike Beyonce? Probably both
Beyoncé’s music is just boring af. Plus she always comes off as fake and overly-calculated, to the point of hiding her personality like Taylor Swift, Drake, etc.

I guess since we're playing this game, how many critically acclaimed albums does Beyonce have, and how many does Rihanna have? Who has the better discography?

This isn't an anti-Rihanna post (no pun intended) by the way. I'm a fan of them both, but everything has to be a competition now.
