Sorry, but why is Rihanna categorized asan R&B singer? What are you people smoking? Her songs are bigger hits on the Pop 100 chart than they are on the Hot 100...Also, she hasn't even had big chart entries on the R&B chart. Just because a singer is black doesn't automatically make them an R&B singer, and the same for white artists not always being pop singers...Also, none of her singes after 'Pon' have been anything but pure pop...with a touch of dancehall. 'Unfaithful' sounds like an exact carbon copy of Britney Spear's 'Everytime,' which is about as pop as you can get. If she was an R&B artist, also, then how come chr/pop stations are the ones playing her - while urban and many rhythmic shut her out and do not play her nearly as much and hardly at all. |

This article was extremely biased, and did not read as an encyclopedia article. I ended up removing a few paragraphs, as they offered no facts and simply praised the artist. The facts that I left in are confirmed, and I tried to keep it impartial.
I also removed the tag requesting the article to be cleaned up and made to be a higher standard of quality. The article has less content, but at least its an NPOV.

NPOV
Rihanna is a true talent, you can never "over-praise" true talent i mean C'mon man, straight from Barbados and to the top ten of most music charts in America who you now done that before? ma point exactly.
Pon de Replay
It looks to me like either a contraction of "put it on" thus "put it on the replay" or a loanword from Spanish because in Spanish pon is the informal-tú command for the verb poner "to put". "de" looks to me like a spelling of "the", or if it does come from Spanish probably "de" which can mean "of, from" --Revolución (talk) 22:00, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
date of birth
Hi! Could someone check her date of birth please? In the other Wikipedias is written that she was born on the 18th. But it could also be that they had a wrong source or copyed the date from each other. So could someone look it up and correct it please. --Marc-André Aßbrock 17:48, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
