Who in the hell is Anthony D?
I'm a photographer, model, blogger, occasional fictional writer and overall creative junkie. I created this blog in order to showcase my work and myself to the world. My blog is filled with my thoughts, my writings, my photography, my artwork, my opinions, and the music I love. I realized that my views and opinions on life and trivial issues were WAY too extreme to just keep to myself. I mean keeping them to myself would be selfish right?? If you're easily offended, now would be an EXCELLENT time to click that X in the corner of your toolbar and head for the hills!

Jam Session: Rihanna-Rude Boy
Love it, love it! Great Track, fun video. However, I'm not a fan of the hair or wardrobe. She can pull off being curvacious but she needs to be careful that she picks wardrobe that works for her body, not against it. We all know she is a beautiful girl, it just seems like with her new album/ persona she's trying too hard to prove something. She had her own style at one time, now it appears as though shes living in the shadows of Beyonce' and other edgy female artists.

Beyonce's shadow Anthony, really?
ReplyDeleteRihanna is curvaceous,keeps a banging cut that frames her face and knew how to wine before Beyonce had any idea what it was. I know not what shadow it is you speak of. Beyonce has a better range, but screams on every track, didn't know how to wine well before "Baby Boy" ft/Sean Paul and wears lace front wigs. She's phsycially another Barbie, even when she's thicker.
I don't think there's any shadow to be in. They both run in two different lanes. Beyonce is trying to be this generation's eminent entertaining songstress, while Rihanna is this generation's Grace Jones: Caribbean-born pop movement.
The lace front part had me in tears. I can agree with you on some points. And maybe I can retract pieces of what I said, however I STILL believe that Rihanna's new "bad girl" image is EXTREMELY cliche. Aside from that everything you said about Beyonce was right on. Good points. However Rihanna still needs to find her own style...and the reference to her being the Grace Jones of our time was a bit of an over statement. She's not nearly as original or fierce. :) That is all. Let's just say she's in a category all her own.
