I CHOSE THIS TOPIC BECAUSE RIHANNA IS UNIQUE. THERE ARE MANY INGREDIENTS THAT
GO INTO THE RECIPE THAT COOKS UP A GREAT POP STAR. IT’S ALL ALCHEMY, OF COURSE,
BUT THE ONE THING YOU CAN’T EVER FAKE IS THAT ELUSIVE X FACTOR. I WANT TO LOOK
AT A POP STAR AND BE EXCITED – AND NO POP STAR ON EARTH SERVES UP EXCITEMENT
QUITE LIKE RIHANNA. RIHANNA IS AN INSPIRING PERSON BECAUSE SHE FULFILLED HER
DREAM OF BECOMING A SINGER. RIHANNA IS AN R&B SINGER. SHE HAS BEEN SINGING A
LITTLE OVER FOUR YEARS. SHE HASArgument
COME OUT WITH TWO ALBUMS SO FAR, WITH A THIRD
ONE COMING OUT THE SUMMER OF 2007. RIHANNA IS MY MODEL FOR A COUPLE OF
REASONS. ONE REASON IS BECAUSE SHE IS A POP STAR, AND I HAVE WANTED TO BE A
FAMOUS SINGER FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. ANOTHER REASON IS BECAUSE SHE
IS A LEADER, AND DOES WHAT SHE WANTS, HOW SHE WANTS, AND SHE DOESN’T LET
ANYONE BOSS HER AROUND OR TAKE HER FOR GRANTED. SHE ALSO FULFILLS HER
DREAMS. IF SHE WANTS SOMETHING THAT’S POSSIBLE TO GET, SHE USUALLY DOES.
AMONG NUMEROUS AWARDS AND ACCOLADES, RIHANNA HAS WON 9 GRAMMY
AWARDS, 13 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS, AND 12 BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS. SHE
CURRENTLY HOLDS 6 GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS. FURTHERMORE, SHE WAS AWARDED
WITH THE INAUGURAL AMERICAN MUSIC AWARD FOR ICON IN 2013 AND THE MICHAEL
JACKSON VIDEO VANGUARD AWARD IN 2016. RIHANNA RECEIVED THE FASHION ICON
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FROM THE COUNCIL OF FASHION DESIGNERS OF
AMERICA IN 2014. IN 2012, FORBES RANKED HER THE FOURTH MOST POWERFUL CELEBRITY,
WHILE TIME INCLUDED HER ON THE ANNUAL LIST OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD IN 2012 AND 2018. RIHANNA WAS NAMED HARVARD UNIVERSITY'S
"HUMANITARIAN OF THE YEAR" BY THE HARVARD FOUNDATION IN EARLY 2017. SHE WAS
APPOINTED AS AN AMBASSADOR ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT OF BARBADOS
