Is Rihanna a music ICON???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
like aquanero said, I think the riri and the swift award you mentioned waters down the award.

Rihanna has only been around like what? 10 years? although huge stars, that doesn't make them icons atm
 
probably been around 15, i think they're giving out these awards for dominating an era, not a lifetime though. they give out bigger things for those who dominate decades
 
"pop music icon"? Perhaps.

"music icon"? :ROFL:


Would you really expect an award like that to be based on musical talent, or commercial sales and potential for future revenue for the record companies driving it?

I would still say it's too early to call her a pop icon

but I get what you're saying in the last statement
 
I agree, icon isn't the right word. When I hear that, I think of acts that spanned generations. Elvis, Johnny Cash, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Aerosmith, U2 ... I couldn't argue these ones, even the ones I where I dislike their music.
