RIRI v BEY

singles: rihanna
albums: beyonce
celebrity: rihanna

I voted Ri

same

i feel like this was made as a trap for fomenting humorous arguments and it's not working at full efficiency as yet, damn *throws away popcorn*

did i accidentally post this to ilh

Rihanna is chill. Bey is too potent and contradictory as a cultural symbol, it's stressful

kelis

Think this prob needs 1000 words or so to really decide it.

i like how in unbrella the rap is short and at the beginning functioning like an intro more songs shd do that w their raps imo

Can't help but feel if Ri was Beyoncé she'd get the same amount of coverage. Fairly typical of today's media.

they have theoretically comparably sized discographies -- Rihanna about to release her 8th album, Beyonce has 9 including Destiny's Child -- but Ri's feels more slight to me, even setting aside that they're very different kinds of artists/vocalists. lot more Rihanna songs i actively want to never hear again, no albums i can play all the way through as easily as Beyonce or The Writing's On The Wall.

I vibe with RiRi more I can't really get with Beyonce's perfection

Like this is probably the greatest Instagram post ever made

bey tbh

i feel like voting for rihanna in this is rank contrarianism

but i didn't realize we were voting based on instagram contribution >:[

am def spoken to more by riri

im not gonna argue for riri being "overall better" she is just more "my thing"

bey has some nice songs too tho

tbh the last rihanna song i was aware of was "pour it up" which put her robotic song stylings to good use imo, but i just don't really get her. except "rude boy," which is a great song and the only time she sounds awake + alive as a singer to me.

i am lol old, obvs

I'll take Umbrella over Bey's entire catalog but Umbrella is like a top 5 song of all time for me so

I actually own the official Totes Isotoner umbrella used in the music video -_-

how can that possibly be true you are a nonsense person

xp

cake cake cake cake cake cake cake cake

oh i see now this thread was designed in a lab to troll me

i like how in unbrella the rap is short and at the beginning functioning like an intro more songs shd do that w their raps imo

yeah Jay is like a medieval herald on that track. Rick Ross does the same thing on "Monster" too.

the horseshoe troller

horseshoe and i had to disagree sometime

how can that possibly be true you are a nonsense person

otm

also this is so obviously bey what are you ppl even talking about

Guys I'm not saying Bey's catalog sucks it's actually very good and extremely awesome I'm just trying to let you guys know how much Umbrella means to me

i love umbrella too its a very touching song

i can't really listen to umbrella anymore i took it off the wedding playlist. i used to love it :(

:(

Also as the proud owner of a fivehead I need to stand with my other fiveheads in solidarity

"Umbrella" felt like a huge deal at the time but I stopped caring that much about it after it faded from ubiquity

☔

also this is so obviously bey what are you ppl even talking about

i am coming from a place of ignorance here, because i have never listened to a rihanna album all the way through, but she basically has five good songs, right?

on the rihanna greatest hits album theres a song called "Love The Way You Lie (Piano Version)" that does not have eminem on it :)

That's probably true but you're not counting the instagrams xp

i like her. like i like her crazy outfits and she seems likable, based on the very little i know about her. but i mean...

similarly fwiw the album version of birthday cake is sans chris brown (and 80 seconds long)

i am going to need everyone on ilx to weigh in on this poll fyi

there's a rihanna greatest hits album?

more like a greatest hits ep, amirite

Probably shoulda put this poll on ile to emphasize we are evaluating holistically

seems like it might be a size too large for her idk

Ri looked hot

it was like a giant yellow hoodie

with diamond studs

rihanna's dress is dripping, no young thug

stupid tweet

it's such quaint faux naïf blog voice though

i cant have been the only one who was like, i bet there's a pee joke here, but def got the feeling that it would have to be a real knock-me-down hilarious line or it wasnt even worth making

everyone stop trying to make jokes online

aw

sorry this is "the end of jokes"

everyone tried too hard to make too many jokes and now there are no more jokes left

honestly though

bitch better have my train

surm what did lagoon say about jokes

idk if thats really a joke, more of a quip

btw was thinking its kinda interesting how ri and bey both came out w minimalist repetitive not very melodic bangers at the same time

sorry thx for checking me

wait what did bey come out with (not 7/11?)

7/11 lol

fucking love both those songs

7/11 literally sends me into like a tantric tizzy (with my hands up of course)

\(*_*)/

I would have gone with "someone stopped into a birthday gathering, pooped on the cake and insisted people eat around it because it made the cake more interesting"
