What are you even saying? This is about SAS putting his foot in his mouth. No drama between those two artists.
For me, I’m tired of people like him comparing Beyonce and Rihanna like they are in the same category. I’ve been seeing people online push the whole “comparing black woman” narrative which is important as well. I think people bring the “black woman” narrative in because if she was white, like P!nk, I don’t think THAT would’ve been mentioned or compared. Because P!nk also puts on a bomb ass show. Although I agree that Rihanna won’t put on a show stopping performance, let’s be honest, nobody puts on a show like Beyoncé these days. But If you’re a hardcore fan of Rih, like me, then you know she performs like a rapper with a little bit of choreo. So I don’t expect her to pull out all the stops. I expect a good time. And that’s that.

Stephan A is Ebro's mans
Stephen said nothing wrong. No one says anything when people compare Britney to Christina, or Gaga to Katy Perry, or Biggie to Tupac or Jay-Z to Nas. But when it comes to this conversation everybody has to stay hush hush. Some people just don’t want to have to conversation about Beyoncé vs. Rihanna because they don’t want to confront the idea that Stephen is right. Rihanna isn’t on Beyoncé’s level. They’re talents are not comparable. She isn’t as good a singer, dancer, or entertainer. She doesn’t have blockbuster films under her belt like Dreamgirls or Austin Powers. She doesn’t draw comparisons to Michael Jackson, Janet, Tina Turner, and Diana Ross. She is a pretty girl who knows how to get to the bag though.
I get his point and saying it out loud on will cause a stir lol but relax i love em both..They both amazing talents, Beyonce' is def a better vocalist but no reason to compare one to the other in a bad way at all.
Stephen A is wrong because they asked him what did he think about someone performing and he brings up someone else's name. Instead of his opinion🤦🏽♂️
He did not lie. Beyonce to start with CAN sing, Rhianna cannot. Rhianna is amazing at her business, and it is the r look that has helped her career (as far as I am concerned, she is another JLO). Let's be honest here, not taking away from her success, but let's call a spade a spade. I am interested in seeing this performance, I suspect there will be plenty of auto-tuning or lip synching, but let's see. ...

In what universe--this one or any alternate--is Rihanna on par with Beyonce as an artist? They're both great women, but Beyonce's arguably the greatest popular singer alive, talent-wise. Both very beautiful, both very popular, both very successful, both got their lives together. But we gonna sit here and act like Rihanna's on Beyonce's level, singing-wise? Maybe that's what SAS prefers--the better talent. You're allowed to prefer one artist over another in life, folks. I don't believe in overstating "sensitivity" in life, because some things _should_ change and some people _should_ be more sensitive about certain matters in life, but people nowadays have indeed become way too sensitive. SAS didn't "pit" two black women against one another. He simply stated his preference for Beyonce over Rihanna. We as black people shouldn't have to be _so_ careful about being black in public, all the time, folks. America's so done, man. Just pathetic. The whole damn society. Can't say _anything_ about _anyone_ without _someone_ making some front-page news about the matter. 🤦🏾♂

The world is waiting for Rihanna’s return harder than anything I’ve ever seen in MY life time. Beyoncé is a better vocalist, and has better stamina, she’s amazing. BUT, Rihanna is still an amazing singer if you watch her singing her ballads etc. and she’s a Baddie, she got her own dance style, she feels every performance, she turns out looks every time, and she got the vibe everyone loves. So singing check. Aesthetic check. Dancing check. Vibes CHECK.

What does being a billionaire have to do with performance. On stage . No artist is beating Beyoncé on stage she in another level . Having radio hits don’t equals to delivery.

Her singing never truly impresses. The most exciting performances are when she twerks. I just don't see her killing a big show like the Super Bowls. And since the last, what, 4 performances got backlash, I don't see her do much better.

Idk she was everywhere starting out (mid 2000s and on) she was in Eminems songs all hits she was in alot of Kanyes songs all hits I like alot of her older stuff more but actually excited to see what she has in store after her rest period lol she's definitely not a dancer she's has acted in some things I like but from what I have seen she's not a big performer like ciara or bey or Janet hell brit was more dedicated at being a performer even after being a damn work horse for a whole damn family and made to look like a loon 😂....she just had it but ri is smart she has a successful makeup line that's crazy popular and a popular lingerie line women are obsessed with she's definitely doesn't bank on the singing thing she's a business woman that's why I like her

To say Rihanna is as good as Beyoncé is a slap in the face to Beyoncé. Since her days in Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé has had to prove herself over and over again. Proving she’s a good singer, dancer, actress, entertainer. Beyoncé has had to constantly prove that she deserves her status as one of the greats. People are quick to discredit Beyoncé and use that tires line that she’s “overrated.”And then Rihanna can come along, sing off key on the record, give barely memorable performances and lackluster dancing and y’all will just put her right there on the same pedestal as Beyoncé. Rihanna isn’t seeing Kelly and Michelle let alone Beyoncé. Truth be told Rihanna isn’t even as talented as Ashanti but y’all put her on a higher pedestal. Yeah she has a similar face and skin tone to Beyoncé but that’s pretty much where the similarities end. To say she’s just as good as Bee in any other way is complete delusion.

It depends on your preference, numbers don't lie. Rihanna sold more music, has the most hits and 3× Richer 🤷🏾♀️

@@Tee1312Jay it doesn’t depend on preference. It’s facts vs. fiction. Rihanna sold more DIGITAL SINGLES. Not more records. That statement is false. Just because google says something about a person’s net worth doesn’t mean we know what’s in their bank account so you’re assuming that Rihanna has more money (the bulk of it earned from lingerie and makeup, not music). And you seem to be forgetting that outside of the hits Beyoncé has as a soloist, she has hits as a part of the bestselling girl group of all-time, Destiny’s Child. Both Beyoncé and Destiny’s Child separately landed on two spots in Billboard’s top 10 artist list of the 2000s. This is not preference nor is it opinion. This is completely factual.
Rhianna is more worldwide than Beyonce and um............Yeah Beyonce also doesn't have the greatest voice.

They have the same level of popularity worldwide and no said Beyoncé has the greatest EVER. But she's a top tier vocalist who can crush Rihanna with vocals alone. Then add the dancing, putting in on a WHOLE show/performance...
