One took a long break from releasing music. The other should have done the same.

it's actually quite an interesting argument

they both have very distinct voice but sometimes may struggle in live performance

i've never seen Katy Perry but when i saw rihanna in like 2013 i believe on fathers day, she sounded great

Rihanna by light years times light years.

I think Katy always enjoyed being a pop star more than Rihanna, and that was very evident in her early work

rihanna has the better voice 

Katy has the better productions

their discographies are kind of equal for me, both have great songs and some fillers 

I think Katy had the more iconic imagery 

rihanna had the more iconic fashion 

id say they were both products of their time. 
 

I think Rihanna’s next album will be hyped and do well just because of her long hiatus 

I think if Katy’s next album is good it will still do bad chart wise. 
 

Thats all I really got on either of them.

Y’all are way too hard on Rihanna’s voice.

She might not be a huge vocalist but when she puts her mind to it, she delivers phenomenal vocal performances. 

Also, technique is overrated tbh. Xtina is a master at singing technique and yet she always sound horrible.

By the way, I think Russian Roulette and The One That Got Away are two of the best pop recordings in history. They deserved so much more than, let’s say, We Found Love and California Gurl

Comparing legacies, Rihanna has a wide range of hits to fall back on where Katy's legacy is more one note/genre.

Rihanna easily she is more badass on stage and sounds better live and has a cooler aura 

meanwhile after all these years I still cant take Katy Perry seriously
