If she only had looks going for her, she wouldn't have the 2nd most amount of top 10 hits in history. I'm sure everyone is listening to her music because of how cute she is. Makes sense.
If that was the case, all these pretty model type girls would be smash to the same degree as well... but they aren't.

Is Kae retarded?
Are you retarded? Even Cassie had a smash single. There's a big history of minimally talented female artists who only had some sort of success because they had a look. Same goes for male artists.
Are you? Especially for that damn CASSIE analogy.
The point I was making was that artists cannot become as big as Rihanna coasting by solely on looks the way you're trying to make it seem. Cassie had ONE hit. Rihanna has over 40.
I don't think the navy ever tries to make Rihanna out to be some whitney Aretha type of talent, but she definitely isn't only successful because she's beautiful.People love her voice. Now I agree that looks help you get some type of success, but Rihanna's is astronomical. I could maybe see your argument in 2006, but not now.

Having an ear for music to crank out hits doesn't fall in line with having talent, especially when we're talking about actual skills that involving, singing, dancing, composing etc.
The fact that you're solely focusing on chart stats pretty much proves my point.

Literally said her unique voice was a part of her appeal but okie dokie hun
And that's a talent?
Earlier in the thread YOU & choke implied that her only appeal were her looks and her looks only. That is when I said that her voice is also apart of her appeal.
I didn't imply anything.
I clearly said her appeal was in her looks because she's not exceedingly talented.
Rihanna's whole shtick since her 3rd album has been the fashionista, trendsetter/reinventing look mess but even before that it was the exotic looking island girl theme. The foundation of everything about her was always her image because again, she was never traditionally talented.
So what was Matthews reasons for having 3 MUTES and one girl singing when D.C. Debut'd ?
Everyone has a SHTICK and that one was to HELP Beyonce stand out
Rih can't help she's a bad BITCH
None the less you cant SEE her on radio and she STILL OWNS that
Using your logic you could easily say the same for The Pussycat Dolls but we all know Nicole flopped for points when she attempted to go solo.
It's no secret that the other girls in DC weren't as talented and it was painfully obvious, but again that boils down to TALENT..not LOOKS.
And Rih being on the radio doesn't really have anything to do with this conversation. This is the problem with Rihanna stans. Y'all think chart stats fill in the gap for her lack of talent and try to use that as leverage.
But no DICE!
But bby luv!
I'm not talking about the charts!
I'm talking about that fact that people wanna hear RIHANNAS VOICE
Always tapped for features
Always dominating radio
Her tone is the most distinct out of them all
Her VOICE AND TONE IS PART OF HER TALENT
Like with gorls like Bran, Ashly, India Airie etc..
Those Texan growls aren't as pleasing to the ears hun
Am sorr'
But HNYSCKLE
That is mostly about the material rather than her voice.
Am mean, Katy Perry was basically cranking out #1s and hit singles faster than what and what is so special or unique about her voice? Absolutely nothing.
Some artists just have a really good ear for what's hot and current because honesty if you replace Rih's vocals with somebody like SIA or Katy & Ariana Grande the ending result would've been pretty similar chartwise
And the gorls are paying $500 to hear those texas growls live & prerecorded on tour
Like I said sug' lump
People are tapping Queen Rih for these hits. Because it's RIHANNA
Wild Thoughts, Nothing is Promised, This is What You Cam' , loyalty etc
It's unfair to deny what's clear as DAY
And to be frank; when it's just bey and mic most times it isn't that GREAT
--some of her worst performances actually in recent years
Her precious lord performance, Ava Maria mess, the National Anthem in the press room. Bey is an ENTERTAINER --she knows how to cover up/masks her short comings.
Rih isn't that kind of artist .
