Work is heavy on the radio; I logged onto my FB account 1 hour ago to have 10+ friends who shared the Work video praising her and saying stuff like "she's back!"; I even see some gays on the dating app I use with golden growns on their faces or quote ANTI; last year BBHMM was a must-listen several times when you're in the club, and you can hear at least 4-5 RiRi songs, whereas Gaga is non-existent at this point (and we know that ARTPOP can snatch everyone's weave in the club). So this made me realise that her presence in my country has always been nothing short of HUGE. @melefterov @Yanko @Slavi do you agree with me that there is like a BIG Navy here? So to answer directly - yes Rihanna has quite an impact around the globe no matter what your definition is. I wish Gaga was as respected and appreciated but she still largely remains a polarising artist even though her impact in your definition is much bigger. When I say I love Gaga I get the stares, when I say I love Rihanna everyone's flocking to chat about ha. Rihanna has a more GP friendly image, she's not "weird" like Gaga. âIf religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.â âAbduâl-BahĂĄ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why couldn't a different "safe and trendy" song in that year overshadow it then and make a greater impact? I mean, that would have made perfect sense since that song had no merit other than it being safe and trendy, right  Don't get me wrong. Ubrella is definitely Rihanna's best song and it deserves the recognition it had. But it wasn't anything new or experimental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop 4,541 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 No, she has zero impact. Just like Katy. But at least Rihanna isn't an absolute asshole like Katy. The Taylor Brigade: KNOCKOUT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creyk 16,836 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 We have had extensive discussions on this already. The real answer is: no. HOWEVER, she inspired many fashion designers in their designs. That is her only true impact, no more than that. She is a trend hopper and there is nothing wrong with that. She will get her 14th #1 after all, I wish Gaga was more like her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy has impact though. Last Friday Night used saxophones and went #1. Then, weirdly, The Edge Of Glory had saxophones in it as well. Coincidence?

Like she's been a huge commercial success for 11 years, but pop culturally I feel like she's not this huge icon. Her image isn't as grand as those who have had less success than her. Apart from being a beautiful girl with covergirl features, she's not really known for much. Except maybe as a an example of what not to do if you're ever domestically abused by your boyfriend.

They both started from different backgrounds, Katy with gospel and Gaga with jazz and then heavy metal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
