I have a feeling she might. She said she isn't touring THIS YEAR so i reckon an expanded edition of Talk That Talk by Xmas followed by a world tour next year.

Thanks I'll have to wait then I suspected she might re-release it, especially after the rumours about her working with Chase and Status ( ). Maybe she'll re-release the album just after 'WHYB' has peaked

How can anyone say Bey is not as versatile as Rihanna?

She's used horn samples in her music, new jack swing, hip hop, her singing-rapping, r&b, pop, electro, afrobeats, steel drums, arabian music, soul, funk, reggae fusion, dancehall, rock, disco, quiet storm, latin pop, bounce, europop/electropop, electrohop, dance.

I love Rihanna, but that's just foolishness. Ri only puts out, pop/electro pop (now a bit of dance/dubstep) light r&b and songs with west indian influences. She's done rock too with Rated R, but that's where it ends.

Ri has almost outsold Bey overall, but can't sell out global tours like her or get the reviews. She's good but not a natural performer.

Rihanna is like Britney, Beyoncé is Madonna.

Queen B is the master, Rihanna the young pretender who for a while does better, and will be around for a long time but over time Beyoncé will overtake Rihanna again and natural order will be resumed.

I know she had rehearsals for Glastonbury and the other festivals in Europe but I felt she could still get more promotion in too. Plus the single choices weren't clear enough, I remember at one stage a lot of fans were convinced they were getting End of Time for single #2.”

They did. If you couldn't tell what the single is, it's what you hear on the radio. End of time leaked, that's what happened. It was never a single, just superstition. I still think Love on top should've been a single after the VMAs, it would've saved the album, foolish mistake. She did the rounds with RTW and BTINH. She did. Youtube them, the problem was RTW leaked, and the video wasn't ready. It caused havoc.

This. Bey can disappear for 2 years and come back, and break twitter records with a pregnancy alone. She's Queen Bey for a reason.

Break Twitter records, and steal attention at a music award show before performing or without winning awards.

Noone else could rub their tummy and get such attention. Did anyone even see the first performance at the VMAs last year, or care? Twitter just exploded it was great.

That's what I meant. People don't actually listen to her albums thoroughly. They are quite good. Overall she gets a 7/8 out of 10 for them from critics.

Bey will always be a critic artist whereas Rihanna will always be a public artist if you know what I mean.

That's not really true because Britney was a good performer in the past. Rihanna could never pull off the routines Britney did before 2007.

In answer to the original question, I'd say yes (Beyonce' is on the decline and Rihanna is on the rise, but I'm not quite sure why these two were picked as they're nothing like each other!).

wouldn't say that yet because WFL met with so much success. but i see what you mean, her last couple singles You Da One and Talk That Talk have failed to be top 10 songs!!

I dont think they are, she had a huge hit last year and a top 5 album (which went no1 in the uk). Just nobody knows what her singles are at the moment even im not that sure. She needs to clear that up then she'll be fine and then she should promote it.
