Dunno. My own personal observation is that the majority of her no.1 hits are collaborations with other people where she sings the chorus and the hook. I only liked a few of her songs that she did by herself (Take a Bow, Unfaithful).

There is nothing really extrordinary about Rihanna or her voice. She will be nothing more than a Trivial Pursuit question come the next decade.

She's already had longevity, no? Her first hit was at least 5 years ago.

That said, it is hard to imagine her being a legend. She can't really sing, she's not a great dancer, and her music makes no real statement other than "do me". So I'm going with no.

Do you think she'll be around in another 5 or 10 years?

Is this a trick question? Seriously? Hell no

Michael Jackson is legendary.
Elvis is legendary.
John Lennon is legendary.

Rihanna??

Rihanna is average at best. There is nothing special about her or her music. She is just another "product" of some corporate top exec to sell music to the wannabe sheep. There are far more credible artists out there, even in today's day and age when good music is hard to come by.

Sorry but she really isn't. And the Chris Brown 'incident' (and her running back to him) has hurt her already dim future. Her limelight has an expiration date. Rihanna will not be remembered as a great artist. Her music will end up on a compilation CD advertised on some late night local access cable channel in about five years.
