Is Rihanna the least talented woman in pop music atm?
I say this as:
she doesnt sound great live like e.g. Adele. Beyonce she doesnt write her own material e.g. Nicki Minaj, Ke$ha, Swift she doesnt play instruments* e.g. Gaga, Katy Perry she isnt a particularly good dancer e.g. Madonna, Cheryl *Or at least doesnt when ive seen her in performances **I know some names listed do more than just one category ive outlined Do you guys agree? Keep it relatively clean guys

I think she is over exposed. I don't have a favorite album either and tend to just have the singles on my ipod. If she ever releases a greatest hits it will be a belter.
In regards to writing her own material I don't think using Ke$ha as an example is really fair. I like her but don't love her. |

No,that goes to Cheryl Cole. At least Rihanna has very good pop albums. Her voice may not be the best but she has a unique tone. You know a rihanna song when you hear it.

There's an accolade they'll probably skip in her next XF intro.

I guess she's not the most talented female singer out there, but I don't mind her. Her voice is certainly very distinctive, and she has some good songs.

It's not particularly difficult choreography compared to someone like Cheryl but she sings and dances live. She's a better dancer than people like Kesha, Adele (not that we've seen her dance), Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry etc. She's definitely not as talented as Beyonce but I disagree that she's the least talented woman in pop. |

1) Yeah, she's not like Adele, Beyonce, Leona in the vocal department but she's definitely improved vocally in the last few years when performing live. Examples: LTWYL on the Loud tour, California King Bed on American Idol, Russian Roulette. Also, she has quite a unique tone to her voice imo that makes her stand out.

Also she has many credits on MOTS and AGLM albums and because she doesn't have credits on every song shows that she does make an appropriate contribution. |

It doesn't matter if she can write her own music, have you listened to the lyrics of some of Some mentioned?!! I'd rather someone work with talented songwriters than write shit.
The least talented IS Cheryl Cole. |

Although only writing 1/7 albums is still pretty bad imo.

I like her singles but I've listened to a couple of her albums and there's a lot of filler. I see her as more of a singles artist than album one. Cheryl Cole is probably the least talented.

I'd say Kesha was the least talented. She can sing but her music is autotuned to the max for no reason

I think least talented would be Rihanna, Britney or Cheryl.
This is of course excluding people with small success, Dev etc. |
