The title of the topic says it all basically. I've seen and hear countless things by CFers and on Twitter/Facebook about young children repeating the lyrics of Rihanna's songs without realised the blatant - often explicit - sexual context which lies within them. Many of these songs get UK radio airplay with little or no censorship.
Here's a few examples:
I could go on and on quoting masses of lyrics.
That's just one thing. The often sexualised clothing she parades on stage has also been said to be explicit and inappropriately. There were complaints when she appeared on X Factor last yea wearing clothing many deemed "inappropriate for family viewing".
She was also found using the c-word on her Twitter account, to which she has over 4.5 million followers many of which are teenage girls.
Having said that, she was strong throughout and after she suffered domestic violence at the hands of Chris Brown, and is an advocate of many women's aid charities and raises a lot of money and support for them.
BUT, is Rihanna in your eyes a good role model for teenage girls in the 21st century?
Here's a few examples:
"I may be bad but I'm perfectly good at it. Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it. Sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me. I like it, like it, come on!"
Come here rude boy, boy, can you get it up? Come here rude boy, boy, is you big enough? Take it, take it baby baby, take it, take it. Love me, love me!
The things we could do in twenty minutes girl. Say my name, say my name. Wear it out, its getting hot, crack a window, air it out. I can get you through a mighty long day.
