1030 Words5 Pages

Beyoncé and Rihanna are two of the most successful R&B singers right now. They are very strong, black, powerful women. They influence, inspire and empower many people. Many young women look up to them and strive to look and be like the two successful stars. Many men drool over them and dream of having a woman that is as beautiful as the two. They both currently had tours, Rihanna 's Anti tour and Beyoncé’s formation tour, with thousands of fans chanting their songs. In this essay I will compare the two, and give you my opinion about them both.

Beyoncé, born in Houston, Texas, was originally known for being in the legendary group Destiny 's Child. Beyoncé ventured into an even more successful solo career as a singer and actress.

It may seem as though Beyoncé has had more success than Rihanna, but you have to consider the fact that Beyoncé has been in the industry longer.

I believe Rihanna is more of a fashion icon than Beyoncé, she has modeled in the Victoria Secret fashion show, modeled in countless magazines, and currently has a shoe line with Puma that sales out within minutes. Beyonce has also had a fashion line but I do not think it was as big. I believe Rihanna’s style is followed more than Beyoncé’s, making her the fashion icon of the

Cole is the better rapper because he’s a storyteller, he motivates, and he’s a very skillful lyricist. Drake is more of a pop artist than a rapper and he only ever raps about one thing: himself.
