it is the same with Karina Pasian... She is a badass vocalist, but in todays society you have to know people to get ahead in life, and if you dont, you sit in the background until something happens the right way. Janell Monae may not have had enough support behind her to boost her career. Lady Gaga, I liked her more when she first came out, but now that she has turned into this, awkward meat dress wearing persona, I dont enjoy it anymore. I liked her back in the 'Poker Face' phase of her career. Rihanna though, she may have made a bad choice by linking back up with Chris Brown, so what, there are things that happen in peoples lives none of us understand. True love is hard to find, and maybe they were capable of looking passed it to make a better future. However, her music is beyond Gaga, beyond Janell Monae, in my opinion. All of rihanna's actual music videos, if you total up all of the views combines, they equal to over 2,500,000,000 which exceeds Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, etc. Rihanna is a force that nobody can mess with, and I adore her. She has made several songs that have guided me in the right direction emotionally and physically...
