Currently listening to 'Shine Bright Like a Diamond' just 20 mins after another song by her!
Never known an artist to release song after song after song without having any real break for the last 5 years!
She must be a great song writer, cough!

She has like the best team ever as they manage to get all these hits that were meant for other artists for her own album. But she's great at what she does and she's become a decent enough live singer now.
Lol just kidding, but she has made a lot of people a lot of money. She has the best team in the business it would seem.
Same applies for Britney Spears. Both puppets.
Haha at the coughing part.
So yeah basically it's just her high profile name that rakes the money in, she does a bit of singing over the top and that's it!!
No she doesn't.
course she does she's basically just another pop puppet, like Britney but with a better singing voice and a little more freedom..
Thanks for the link, was a very interesting read. I knew most of the production side as I worked in it (in a very minor way, and not with stars), but I didnt know about the radio stuff.
Its amazing really when you think about it, she does nothing but picks songs she likes, and sometimes sort of sings on them, and then goes around singing them on shows and the radio.
I know it shouldnt, but I always feel the song is fake when I hear them. Take most of the garbage in the charts today, and a lot of it sounds like its just a production line of songs pumped out in order to make money. The odd single here and there is good, but most of the time its trash. Yet the "star" is seen as some sort of artists and visionary.
Its a double shame as lots of artists and bands do write there own stuff, yet they have no chance to compete when you trash stars like "Rihanna" simply have millions upon millions to push into songs.
Not as sick as I am of the incessant pop star
Vomit
Yep, just like Britney. Although hard core Rhianna fans HATE when you bring that up.
That article was talking about her recording Loud and ironically some of the demos are out there so you can see how little she adds to the track. The "na na na" in S&M isn't even her voice....
They aren't no where near as bad as Beyonce fans though when you bring her ''writing credits'' up
Beyonce fans are the most defensive I have ever come across. Its actually quite scary how far some of them go just to defend her from criticism.
At the end of the day though who cares if an artist has songs written for them? its such snobbery to take away from an artist just because they may not write their own material. Half, if not all, the songs Elvis sung were not his own! did that stop him from being an incredible artist? no it did not. So my advice, get over it!!
Yes. Because he wasn't an artist. He was a performer. Just like dancers who aren't choreographers are performers and not artists. It's someone else's work. The only reason actors get a pass is because they have to become someone else in their own interpretation. Most of the time a director can't tell you exactly how to be someone.
Elvis was an artist. Is regarded as an artist and is the only artist in history to be in four different hall of fames. Which are for ''artists''.
He did also try to take credit writing for songs that he didn't write. Dolly Parton mentioned this. He wanted to sing 'I will always love you' but with a writing credit. Parton (quite rightly) refused and he didn't sing the song.
