Rihanna

As pop stars go, Rhianna's music is less annoying than someone like Katy Parry for example... I quite liked pon de floor or don the replay or whatever it was called, and I usually hate the majority of pop music...

That, and she's damn hot too! :D

It depends how you want to define bigger but the best comparison is Lady Gaga who is far more talented than Rihanna and her career is highly likely to outlast and outsell her massively. I could throw around some other names

Beyonce
Shakira
Kylie Minogue
Madonna
Mariah Carey
Britney Spears
Christina Aguilera
Whitney Houston
Leona Lewis
Celine Dion

Not sure how you can come to the conclusion that Lady Gaga is bigger, she's been around for less than half the time Rihanna has been and due to her extreme persona it's highly more likely that she wont be around in a couple of years time whereas everyone wants to work with Rihanna and with her young age there's no doubt IMO that she'll be around for at least another 5 years

As for your list how any of those are bigger than Rihanna at the moment is truly mind blowing all of those have had their peak years with only Britney really doing anything 'now' with her new album due out - Dion, Houston, Aguilera, Shakira, Minogue, Madonna & Carey are light years away from being the biggest female artists in pop now. Arguments can be made for Lewis and Beyonce I'll give you that but I'd still say Rihanna is bigger than both right now

Anyway I'm not going to continue to argue the toss with you, ironic you called my thread starting post trolling where all you've done is harp on about how my opinion is incorrect. If you dont like Rihanna or have a problem with other peoples opinions then I suggest you dont troll and go else where tbh

I looked at album sales and the fact that Lady Gaga is the first recording artist to sell more than 20m digital single sales.

And the fact she has talent.

You said it yourself she hasn't been around as long so I'm confident she will be much bigger longer term. Her extreme persona is part of her genius, very much like Madonna. It's only an indicator but Lady Gaga has approx 1.8m more fans on Facebook. I think it's fair to say Lady Gaga is climbing the career ladder and Rihanna is declining.

You didn't ask who is bigger 'now', you asked who is bigger and as this is a discussion about could Rihanna be the biggest of all time my suggestions were based on who will be bigger over the life of their career.

Apologies for discussing with reasoned facts. I didn't realise when you said discuss you only wanted people who agreed with your opinion. As an aside I never said I didn't like Rihanna. I'm simply looking at it subjectively which clearly you are not.
 
One of them can sing and is talented. The other needs dancers, flamethrowers and lots of flesh on show to take your attention off her shouting a lot.
 
I have to agree with the OP that Rihanna has come on quite a bit with her singing career. Admittedly I've never heard her live so I couldn't really comment on the whole cant sing without autocue argument. Her performance on the X Factor (as posted above) I thought wasn't too bad, also her last few hits have been fairly catchy pop tunes which probably helped improve her popularity.

Sexually, I can honestly say I don't find her attractive at all but I can see how others might, based purely on looks it's all down to personal preference though isn't it? I can also genuinely say the only singer I've heard that can sing as well live as on a recording is (don't laugh) Marti Pellow! :eek:

I saw him years ago at a concert the OH dragged me to and have to admit that man can sing! :o
