:damn:

but rt, rihanna can't sing but has a pretty distinctive voice/style of singing. She makes it work. Kinda of how M.I.A. can't sing at all but her voice has that natural charisma.
Rihanna makes it work though. I'm not mad at that.

I'm not trying to streamline artists...but we're just lying to ourselves by ignoring the lack of consistency among these acts.

yeah rihanna aight. not my first choice to listen to but she aight for her lane. I'm still tripping off Aiko being a songwriter tho...after I learned a minute ago how many songs Sia penned I take that title when referring to these pop stars with a grain of salt.

she's one of my favorite singers.

I love "Sunday"

who does she write for?

from what I gathered damn near everybody

she wrote that beyonce song pretty hurts. Its kinda cool tbh, you can def hear her influence in these songs when you think abou it. check her wiki though cuz theres no way I remember them all

The over emphasis on looks has had the biggest negative effects on RnB - specifically the black ladies.

If a song that can move units must be sung by someone young, with real chops - they'll be white. Amy Winehouse, Adele etc. there's sisters out there with more talent and equally as unattractive but they aint getting that position anymore.

Im a Tinashe Stan so I know her music. I have the same belief. Gaga had to do what she had to do to get on the scene too. :manny:
Gaga pretty blew off the same sound she has now. Tinashe coo but I persoanlly think fka twigs makes Iller music
