I haven't heard any of her new stuff, except FourFiveSeconds (which I like but need to give a proper listen to). I may need to do some exploring tomorrow!

I really like FourFiveSeconds a lot. Also, going back a little further, I love her song Stay.

I can never listen to Diamonds now, however, unless it's Sia. She wrote it, and it's clear here that Rihanna based her singing on Sia's:

You know how I said I can't listen to Rihanna's version of "Diamonds" without thinking of Sia's? Well, Sia's version is great, but I have become absolutely obsessed with Riri's version recently (I've never listened to much Rihanna until fairly recently, lol). It is, without question, my favorite song of hers.

Also, when you hear both versions back to back, you can really hear how Rihanna is trying to sing like Sia (that's a compliment!).

I heard the short version of Birthday Cake that she did, and I enjoyed it a lot, but then I read that she ultimately did a longer version of the song with Chris Brown and now I feel guilty about liking it at all.

Somehow I don't think the Henson people approved this Miss Piggy #BBHMM Mashup but strangely, it does suit Miss Piggy.

Tamar's absolutely spot on, regardless of her intentions. The industry's racism results in their being lazy enough to categorize Rihanna in an R&B category when nothing she's done has come close to being that--at her expense (after all, they'll drag their heels against acknowledging her as the pop superstar that she is while propping up white acts that haven't had a tenth of her success) and at the expense of true R&B artists (who don't get a fighting chance because they aren't mainstream enough for them to celebrate enough).
