    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.

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.

Retired for 6 going on 7years with no music or being in the mix and still made billions. Leave that island gyal alone, she was never anything but HER. She is coming to eat regardless of who is shook. This super bowl will be for the books. They did that to her all her career and that was only 10-11 years. She’s only 34 and still not done! Midas touch💅🏾

    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.

    So now the SB half time is about entertainment not even about the teams who actually play the game? I think this half time show should end it is distracting to the sports itself. People have been comparing Beyoncé and bashing her almost all her life but she stood her ground and proof her self but when they want criticize Rihanna is a problem. Music is a competitive sports too everyone want to be the best and talk about. Rihanna is not at. That level yet and truth be told I will want to know one remarkable performance of Rihanna before we even start to compare . His opinion is truth but people don’t want to accept it but facts are facts .Vocally she not strong, dance wise either I have been to many of her concert she boring . 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. When it come to holding the mic and singing those same songs live it’s another talent on its own.

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.

    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.

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.
