Being out of the limelight does not equal to success tho.
Look at MDNA, Bionic, No Doubt, etc etc.
I think there will be more early interest on Ke$ha due to what you said. But whether that interest translates to long-term success on the charts is up in the air still.
Funny tho, Benny Blanco acted as co-producer on both Rih and K$'s singles. He wins either way lol.

who said she was an ethereal beauty though.
It's just you, Botty, and Ties taking it so far as to call her ugly.
I mean what kind of delusion.

She should've released this month to avoid the impending UK train that is Glassheart.
Insiders are already pegging it as #1 for two weeks in a row at the very least. And that's just based on pre-order buzz, since she'll be on X-Factor and Alan Carr the week the album comes out.

It looks like someone photoshopped her head on to some man's body. Her arms look so thick.
Halcyon is still going to be great.

omg!
That's not even a natural look though (one for a set of photos)
Keep trying though. It's cute.
I seem to recall a plug.dj conversation that folllowed like this:
ITZ: I wish Rihanna had done the "Anything Could Happen" video so it could win a VMA
Arte: Rihanna WISHES. She could never do a video like that
ITZ: Well she doesnt have that "floatiness" about her that Ellie has
Arte: Rih just aint an Ethereal beauty like Ellie
ITZ: I wish Rihanna had done the "Anything Could Happen" video so it could win a VMA

Arte: Rih just aint an Ethereal beauty like Ellie
On the other side of the spectrum, Smellie needs to try more with her styling in shoots
CLOCKED
And doesn't need a reality show to use as a stepping stone.
And doesn't need to rely on hit songwriters and producers.
Hun Smellie doesn't HAVE ANY tho...

Arte, hun, you are really going IN for Ellie even though I seem to remember you dragging Bright Lights for filth. I'm lost.

Who's doesn't at this point, tbh
I see you leaving out Lights' other chart numbers
Well she is a UK artist and I copied this from Wiki. UK numbers are the most relevant for her.
Anyway, they would ask Rihanna to perform at something important, but then she would have to 'perform'.
Beyonce got to sing for the President and First Lady. Gaga got to sing for Bill Clinton at a fundraising concert. Rihanna... moved around on stage at the VMAs that no one saw.

What's wrong with Ellie?
It's cute that you know so much about Rih tho. That Navy card is sticking out your pocket boo.
Lordt she needs to ease of the fake tan and foundation tho, look at the difference in skin tone between her face and her scalp.
She doesn't suck.
Nothing. POP-GAF thinks she's ugly for some reason.
Oh cut the condescension and give me a bit more credit than that, sis.
The argument has never been whether or not Christina lipsyncs at all. I'm not naive; the sky is blue, Santa doesn't exist, and Xtina has lip-synced some performances. Most pop singers who are expected to perform and/or keep rigorous promotional schedules have lip-synced performances at one era or another. Mariah has, Beyonce has, Christina has, and yes...even Rihanna has. So you're not really shedding light on a subject more than stating the obvious.
My point has always been that I don't necessarily believe that the run in the Burlesque performance specifically is lipped. If it is, then I don't know why she would have to lip-sync that note. Why? Well, simply put, if you have Xtina's range (even with the questionable technique) nothing about that run should have been difficult. Technically speaking, it's not extremely impressive
Hush Mumei

Mumei seriously stop laughing
Same with the Hurt performances you linked to. You say she's lip-syncing in the beginning, but she's also hitting some, frankly, bum notes in those videos. I cringe whenever she gets to the chorus (that "for EVERYTHING..." is A-Cup as fuck). One of the main points of lip-syncing is to cover up the fact that you, for whatever reason, are unable to sing your song properly at that time. So considering that, I don't really see the sense in an artist using a prerecorded track of themselves singing a song improperly to cover up their inability to sing said song properly. I mean, unless the goal is to have the performance be as authentic as possible
Mumei stop
I dunno at the end of the day, and frankly I don't feel like combing over every performance (and footage shot on someone's camera phone with quality so shitty you can barely hear her) trying to spot insignificant parts where she might be lip-syncing. She's still my queen and she's still one of the best in the biz.
I'd say it's still too early to call. The Britney/Gaga/Taylor Swift explosive debuts are the exceptions. Lots of songs debut high on the iTunes charts, fall a bit, and then climb back up once the promotion starts.
If it continues dropped even after she's full-on promoted it, like NMT, then I'll admit it's a flop and go cry in a corner. Your Body is such a damn good song, it deserves better than that. ;______;

I guess no one told Lana before her failed audition for the Dallas revival that the series was no longer set in the '80s.
