Rihanna: “I Don’t Want To Become A Gimmick”
Written by Trent | Filed under Rihanna
Rihanna mania continued today when she called ‘On Air with Ryan Seacrest’ to promote her new single, ‘You Da One’, and her upcoming ‘Talk That Talk’ album. However, amidst basic discussions about her project, the Pop star made a rather interesting comment abou the future direction of her career – “I don’t want to become a gimmick.”
While insisting that she has placed more emphasis on her artistry, Rihanna averred that she ditched her array of colourful hairstyles and outfits so that people would focus on her music. Furthermore, she gave an explanation about how she battled to develop her own identity as an artist.
Listen to what Rihanna had to say below:
Honestly, Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’ video did exemplify a more telling side to her artistry than many of her previous releases. However, to say that her focus has shifted toward her artistry when most of her songs are simply following the banal trends of Pop music without any depth or even basic thought is quite shameless.
In fact, although Rihanna has toned down her bright colours of her wig collection, her music is even more gimmicky than ever before – auto-tune, recurring lyrics and recycled beats that make it obvious that she is aiming to score a radio hit. Hence, Rihanna’s fashion choices may not be linked to any major marketing scheme, as they were during the ‘Rated R’ and ‘Loud’ eras, but her music is the very definition of trendy.
Dear Rihanna, you can’t fool me.
Thoughts?

I needed a good laugh today, thanks trent!!!
She doesn’t want to become a gimmick and she wants to be taken seriously, yet she keeps making fast food music and has yet to show any growth as an artist; Rihanna, the jokes write themselves.
Rihanna is not an artist because artists don’t let ppl do the work for them. Her gimmick is being sexy and wearing little clothing to distract ppl from her lack of talent and mediocre stage presence. End.
nobody these days wants to here boring ass ballads. Yall act like if its uptempo its generic Good songwriting is catchy repetitive sing along hooks. Ask gaga
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…………….ok
LMAO!!! TRENT NOT THE GIF OF MERYL IN “DOUBT” ICANT
BUT RIHANNA IS DELUSIONAL IF SHE THINKS SHE NOT A WALKING GIMMICK
yall idiots…. learn something instead of taking what someone else says as your bible…. Trent *shakes fist*
Hold up!!! Sorry it to damn late Rihanna you are the biggest gimmick of all time. And the only ones that are saying that her songs are nice are her delusional fans. Now this shit is so funny I’m here LMAO.
Trent you scored again with your comment
Never seen a gimmick score 11 #1s…OOPS( new single) 12 #1s in 6 years
What does being a gimmick have to do with scoring 11 #1s. That’s why she is scoring them because of her gimmicks.
Rihanna’s stans are retarded. Rihanna is obviously a star however, I think she is very blessed. If she was an O.K celebrity like Jordin Sparks, a lot of these retards will quickly notice her flaws.
If Rihanna didn’t work with the right producers and writers to create catchy/trendy songs or if you did not know what she looked like, NO ONE would care about her as an artist. Her voice is O.K. and her vocal skills are very limited.
Rihanna: “I don’t want to become a gimmick” <<<< Joke of the week! *stands and applauds*
Lol Rihanna thats a joke.
@plain and simple Noun:
A trick or device intended to attract attention, publicity, or business. SOUNDS LIKE THAT OTHER HALL OF FAMER/SHAMER : MADONNA
Whoever you stan for…needs to copy Rih, because she lives at the top and looks down on everyone else
At least she’s not as big of a Joke Beyondfakes ass is
this site is sooo stupid, Trent cant get more than 30 comments per post, u’ll could make fun at Rihanna while she continues to have hits and #1s and sell records. cheesy gifs after each post is just stupid…
This site is cool for to have just started up a couple months ago. At least the comments here are not like? All that arguing and fighting it’s a damn shame. I love this site and sooner or later the fans that don’t want all that drama will be here also
Maybe the reason thus this far he only get small comments is because some people like to hear lies instead of the truth and Trent gives you the truth without sugar coating it. @ plain&simple~ I concur
