Well, to be fair, she's wearing a sundress, which is more than appropriate for sailing.
I'm laughing at the 6 inch platform stilettos. LAWD...I couldn't imagine wearing those on a boat.
Then I do not understand what you mean when you say she was more likable, when you aren't even familiar with her humble days.
Why neglect a different type of retailing model that targets very different sets of demographics than those of physical-format buying consumers?
Why also neglect the retailing model that single-handedly revived the single format from being a "hardcore collectors item" to now being the standard of the industry.
Rihanna pretty much appeared when iTunes (and digital format) started to rise. She an artist that was born in the digital age. Most of her target demo buys digital and prefers digital. Its not just "padding the resumé". Digital is an entire industry that targets different people with different purchasing behaviors.
Mariah looks flawless. You cunts can seethe.
No arguments there.
And lmao at Nick dressing like guys in high school do.
RIGHT!? He looks straight out of 2002!
But while we talkin about these MEN, NOBODY takes the foolywang cake more than JAY-Old-Ass-Z
What kind of midlife crises MESS??? He looks like he's trying to be Beyonce's son in that last pic.
Somebody needs to tell him to grow his style all the way up...

da fuq?
LOL.
It looks like the 90's threw up on T-Boz. Beula is a mess. I suppose it's taking Pepsi and a small nation of marketers to hype her up for a REASON.
Speaking of T-boz, she is trying to make a comeback and will be starting a reality show soon.
Cue the side eyes.

I'm not neglecting it. Rihanna is the highest selling digital artist. You can learn a lot about who listens to Rihanna, and what type of artists thrive on the digital formats from that stat. My problem is with using it as a sales accomplishment. Single sales are pretty much exclusively digital, but album sales are still shared with the physical formst. Many people still buy albums at stores like Best Buy and Target. Even people in Rihanna's demographic. I would also scoff at an artist priding themselves on being the highest selling physical artist, because most people buy music digitally.
Selling the most on a certain format is good to know, but selling the most when you consider all consumers is something to be wowed by. And if you look at artists who debuted from the time Rihanna came on the scene and after, Rihanna hasn't done that.

I see Gangnam Style is being voted a lot in that thread. Good, good. Didn't care much for that vote in the OP, though. "Part of Me" is a timeless bop.

Why do people complain about "moving goalposts".
The statement itself is fucking stupid as is, but why would someone continue to come for someone when they have achieved it?
Is the NAVY really that illiterate and unable to comprehend the language that they realise it's pointless to come for something that somebody has already accomplished?
You are essentially saying people should be saying NO #1 ALBUM when she has already accomplished that with Unapologeneric. Why would someone come for her not having a #1 album when she just got one? It's pointless.
I don't know why Rihanna of all people should be exempt from receiving shade or drags just because one pressed member of the NAVY keeps insisting that we shouldn't shade her at all.

I cant at DMJ saying Diamond's lyrics are awful
which is the reason why I love it
You’re a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I’m alive
We’re like diamonds in the sky
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
maybe its just Rihanna's delivery

Sia is a master at song writing. There is no surprise that Diamonds is some of Rihanna's best work and it ain't because of Rihanna.

I think shading RihAllah should be a bannable offence.

Then you wouldn't be here today.
Easy for a good girl to go bad
And once we gone
Best believe we've gone forever
Don't be the reason
Don't be the reason
You better learn how to treat us right
'Cause once a good girl goes bad
We die forever

Why do people call Artemisia a vile cunt troll? She's not the one getting banned for posting a series of vulgarities.
Isn't it just one person though?

Are you referring to Waffle or what?

Probably the Rob vs Waffle incident. IDK tho but they usually are not like that. I wonder if they have had some stress recently and just brought it on the thread.
Reminds me of Luigi's Mansion.
I need that sequel.

I won't be getting a 3DS for a long time. I just started a new file in DraGOD Quest 9 and it's slaying rn. Flop generation can #staywarrior.
Ew DQ9 is far below 8, 5, and 6. Better than 4 though. Still fun. Wait now I want to replay it.

Everybody should get a Vita and Ke$ha's Warrior. Both are underrated.

But yes, the 3DS is the way to go. I don't understand why the Hewta still exists.
