She's only sold so much more cause she's released so much more than comparable divas. Why dont people get that.

Lol at some of the comments trying to lessen the embarrassment. Funny how when madonna flops its 'no big deal', the album is still 'strong' and her career is still 'safe', yet Janet drops a few thousand in a week and all hell breaks loose,

The thing that fascinates me is she talks like people care. She might making tunes that people are buying, but quite frankly aint nobody hyped by what she does. She could disappear forever tomorow and no one will care.

Sure (rolls eyes)

Some of the beats are alright. But her voice isnt good and some of the lyrics are cringe. I think give me all ur luvin is the best song. Id say 20 Y.O is better.

U might want to look in to becoming a fan of cirque du soleil, as it was basically their halftime. Madonna was just walking across the stage directing it all to be on cue.

U appreciate being rude and nasty about people? Right, ok. :/

Candy perfume girl is crap. Its like a kylie b side when she went all indie, and what is she on about, what the heck is a candy perfume girl. Thats the problem, half the time shes singing rubbish. The song itself is very boring. Much like most of the album tracks on most of her albums. Shes never been an album artist. Any albums ive ever bought of her i end up skippinh and then weeks on its gathering dust. 'Music' was by far my biggest purchase mistake.

I really think people are expecting too much. Some dont even care. But tge woman hasnt even changed her hairstyle in the last 15 years. Janets changed hers in the last 15 months more than that lol. So much for reinvention. Judging by the stage its gonna be the same high tech lights and disco props shes been using since COAD.

ROL is over rated. Aside from the great singles (which they are), the album tracks are very blah.

So what. Shes not doing anything extra others do. Ugh, sick of the way people just lap her up. Truth - album cover, single covers are average and boring. She looks plastic. There isnt a single madonna album thats a masterpiece. They are all full of fillers with some very good singles. Truth.

The screaming mouth looks familiar.

They keep saying she looks beautiful. Em, her arms? And that dress is horrendous.

POST OF THE YEAR!!! LMAO

Janets career is in much better shape right now. People that mock the nutrisystem deal are ignorant. Nutisystem is americas fastest growing business, and as spokesperson, the exposure janet is getting is putting her on the tv screens of every american household. Also why do fans forget/not acknowledge the following. Since the VMA performance in 09, janet career has been active, with movies, tours, books and endorsements. This without an album. This is an amazing feat. Find me another singer that has received as much exposure as janet outside an album era. And yet we await a new movie and album from her anyway. In the context of a 30 year career (of both madonna and janet), janets career at this point is in much better shape, at present and going forward. Anyway, who cares, most people cant stand madonna, ala the audience of the golden globes. If it were janet up there ull know they would be standing clapping and feeling happy for her. That to me is worth more than another award credit for dumb fans to use as ammo against people that actually admire talented performers.

We dont have to be all taylor swift but vulgar and offensive gets society nowhere. Havent u heard of manners and keeping your explicit wiles to places and times deemed appropriate? The problem with so much of society, including rihanna, is they dont know their limits. It causes offence and makes society look scummy. Rihanna as a public example, acting this way us just encouraging generations of youth who have been dragged up, to think that their behaviour is acceptable in the wider society, when its not. It sickens me. Of course there are many examples of public figures who r the same, but rihanna is the most current. People dont have classy civil role models to look up to anymore. Real icons of beauty are rare now. Famous names of intelligence, female intelligence are lacking. Its the age of the unclassy dragged up hoe. Sad times. And i hate rihanna cause shes one of the worst for us, and she apears to not even care.

thats never gonna happen jarryif cause although i like some of the songs that she is given, i dont like her. I dont like what she represents, shes been dragged up, shes vulgar, shes offensive. I dont like people like that, god knows why others do, probably cause they are the same, and thats all they can relate to. Even if she changed her ways it wouldnt matter cause the damage is already done. People like her, low class, should not be glamourised as a role model. Shes not even an example of discovered talent that can be admired.

I accept that there is room for opinion and a 'different ear', but its fair to say, usually most people can tell a dud track from a good one. Ala 'If' versus 'Funky big band'. And rihannas albums are ususally full of random unnecessary filler. Her albums are not solid. Most people would accept that view. Let's put it this way, Rihanna's albums have more 'funky big band' in them than they do 'If'.

Even if its just about her music. This theory that her music is good is just flawed too. All her albums are major filler, and mist of her singles, especially recently, can only be described as repetitve irritating noises. Shes had the same formula since umbrella ella ella. Its boring.

U respect her? Rihanna is just an average ghetto hoe. She belongs in a gutter, along with the rest of the hoes that walk the streets. She doesnt deserve the life of the famous and fabulous. Shes done nothing to earn it. Shes no better than the ones that come off reality shows. She just an underclass slut whose been dragged up in barbados with no talent or brains. Same goes for chris brown. They are just the glamourised underclass of america. Like giving us mcdonalds wasnt bad enough. Wheres my nail file?

Why do u like her so much? I dont get it. There is nothing to like about Rihanna. Good songs yes, but any voice other than hers would gp better on them.

Stop posting separate rihanna threads. Thete is one offivial one for a reason. Edit update: thanks lol

The chart sales is my sources. I didn't pluck figures like they do. Eg. Billboard, so far 1.75 mill has sold in the US. That is fact! (course so much of that was the 99 cent sale) The same can be done for the rest of the world. Now you gonna tell me that whilst in US she sold only 1.75 mill, in the rest of the world she sold, 6.25 mill, to make the 8? Don't think so.... :/ That 8 million is a completely bullshit figure.

Why do they always lie. Born this way has not sold 8 million worldwide. Nowhere near.
