Gaga is weirder. Minaj is tougher. But Rihanna never disappoints. Her pop songs are always danceable, often catchy and consistently awesome — sometimes they even have some substance to them. Similarly, her Grammy performance wasn’t the flashiest or craziest, and she didn’t bust out dance moves the way other entertainers did, but it was one of the most enjoyable. I’ll take her leather short shorts and Tina Turner hair over Katy Perry’s blue locks any day.
