well when you are seen as the worlds top selling female artist of all time, it is to be expected. They will stay mad and pressed and Madonna will remain one of the most powerful and influential women in music/entertainment even if MDNA 'flops'. Its really no biggie.

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,

RIHANNA PREPPING 7TH ALBUM!!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WOW, Im SHOCKED, shocked as hell, Im still in love wit Talk That Talk, wow....................oh well, guess this November.... lol.

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.

So Rihanna has officially sold over 15 million records in the UK

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.

The Superbowl won me over! I'm officially a fan!

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.

Madonna has always been a rude bitch. She holds back nothing and I appreciate that about her. Some get it. Some dont.

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.

I've got to give the bitch her props. When she goes into promotion mode she is serious.

The superbowl

a new single

and now american Idol!

She's about to make the best of her new record deal with live nation. And I'm not mad at her.

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.

"He's known to get mad at me."

Not as catty as her red carpet interview.

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

SAVE YOUR SORRY!!!

one thing Janet doesnt need is anymore judgement. she has criticism greeting her at the front door...you can keep yours . i dont even know what to do with all the criticism anymore, as soon as I log in somebody is throwing shade at my girl. well im gonna make a thread, no no im gonna make a voice mail ..."If you here to pass judgement about Janet, then go somewhere else because we dont use them anymore". I want Janet to do what she wants, when she wants and Im not gonna criticise her for none of it. Ive let 'she cant sing'...'she's a bad actress' and 'she's out.dated' take a walk down a dark and musty street in brooklyn .

You are always being inconsistent JBailey, praising Janet one minute and then tearing her down the next minute.

Well Im not gonna reply to you..

Im not gonna be nice...

Im gonna raise my voice...

Im gonna type in all caps...

Im gonna break things...

and Im gonna tell all your secrets to your face and IM NOT GONNA BE SORRY FOR NONE OF IT!!!

Janet loved you on purpose , She was open with you on purpose..

you can take all of your critism and all your judgement and do whatever you want with them...just dont give them to me.

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.

Then you understand why your opinion on her & her music really dont mean anything. And yea I can be vulgar & offensive, I'd choose that over too squeaky. Hell people call Janet too vulgar & offensive to them, it is what it is either you get it or you dont.

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.

= Your opinion. And your analyse on her & her music is flawed & incorrect.

I cant stand the "because I say its good everybody thinks its good, because I say its bad everybody thinks its bad" attitude, its sooo unrealistic and childish.

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.

That's how all threads on here go though.

A huge part of this thread that I have a problem with is the non-stop disrespect towards Rihanna or any artist for that matter.

Yes, I am a Rihanna fan, but I am not a "rihtard" (what mature adult would use this kind of offensive language?), I am not cheap (I own all of her physical albums and paid $60 to see her in concert), and I do believe she is talented.

I respect Rihanna for being only 4 months older than me and being successful in her career. If I was living my life and doing what I love, I'll be DAMNED if someone said I wasn't talented or good at what I do. You better be successful in your career, if you have one, that is.

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?

Did Whtney write ANY of her hits? And yea she dont have a U.S. #1 album, but she got world wide, so obviously she's doing something right. LOFL @ Selling tickets for $1 or less LOFL, ah you Rihanna haters can only dream. Sorry but what she lacks in talent isnt stopping her ability to break records & snatch awards & radio

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

Where's your source. Amazes me how someone can talk about made up figures and then proceed to make up figures.

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.

I'm afraid it has

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Gaga_discography#cite_note-39

Gaga's latest album Born This Way was released in May and has already sold more than 8 million copies worldwide.

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