I never really understood the Rihanna hate. She's not the best pure singer or anything like that, but she does have a distinctive style and and sound. That in itself is refreshing. I'm not a fan or anything like that, but I rather hear Rihanna do her own thing than listen to a lot of these other chicks do their best to ride whatever bandwagon is moving at the time.
She did go through a period where it seemed like she was trying to convince everyone that she was super loose or sexually free or whatever you want to call it, which I thought was weird.
