Rihanna Accuses Pop Stars Of Being Generic

Rihanna has accused a number of pop stars of being generic.

In a recent interview with the BBC’s Radio 1, the singer said “I didn’t want the generic pop record that Ke$ha or Lady Gaga or Katy Perry would do. Every song is tailored to me.”

It's a rare moment for anyone to knock the seemingly infallible Gaga's music, although Perry and Ke$ha tend to be the butt of a lot more jokes.

Rihanna might call Katy Perry “generic pop”, but that doesn’t stop her being friends with her. Recently the singer threw a party to celebrate Perry’s upcoming wedding at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. Soon she'll marry comedian Russell Brand.

Rihanna is gearing up to release her fifth album ‘Loud’, which will hit stores on November 12 in Australia, 15 in the UK and 16 in the USA.

Fingers crossed it’s not generic pop.
