She obviously is. Difference is, the Who and Stones were wildly successful AND good, while Rihanna isn't very good. And it's not like I'm some huge fan of the Stones or the Who, but they certainly made way better music than Rihanna. Regardless, I understand why the NFL wants her for reasons already said in this thread. They want the halftime show to bring in viewers who otherwise wouldn't really care about the actual game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the league doesn't care what I like - they're not trying to persuade me with who plays at the halftime show. That's fine and I'll just skip the halftime show like I have most times in recent years. No big deal to me. But still lol @ her being in the same class as the Who and Rolling Stones.

She's that good You just don't like it which is absolutely fine but again what you like has no bearing on what is good and what isnt.

Thelonebillsfan Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 There is literally no objective measurement of 'good'. Noise music is good, most people don't like it, that's fine, it doesn't make it not good, stop being weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely does. The people music reaches the better it is because that is what music is supposed to do, make people happy. The more it does that the better it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti came out in 2016 and was one of the best/successful albums of the 2010s and spawned hella hits. Certified triple platinum and numerous songs hit #1. That album skyrocketed her popularity, not that she wasn't already popular but was such a shift in energy/tone. Some crazy slander in this thread. Too often people think their opinion about music is absolute (not pointing a finger at you specifically D82). Rihanna is one of the most accomplished artists of all-time. You may not like her brand of music, but to suggest she isn't a good artist is absolute bonkers lol Edited September 26, 2022 by iknowcool 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rihanna dropped an album right now, I'd bet everything I own it would chart #1 for a long, long time. There are very very very few artists who I think could out-sell her right now.

I don't listen to a lot of her music (although she hasn't put out anything in a long time), but ANTI is a good project. Rihanna doing the half time show means we might get guest appearances from other people like Hov and Ye. Both Rihanna and Jay have previously rejected the offer to do the Halftime show. I guess Taylor Swift passed this time. Edited September 26, 2022 by TheRealMcCoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really disappointed she would put out her best project and then go completely ghost with music, but I mean she has other priorities with being a mogul in fashion and obviously being a mom now too.

That's wild. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
