Urgh! Rihanna, yet again has managed to pull her self into some sort of lime light. The stage walker and “Rude Boy” singer has been selected to be a judge at the upcoming International Songwriters Competition. The Competition results in 66 winners including a grand prize winner who will share more than $150k in cash and prizes, with the with the top scorer earning $25′k in cash and $20k in prizes. Rihanna joins a list of other artists and industry heads including Timbaland, Kings of Leon and Peter Gabriel.

Now, let me put this in the nicest way possible (please give me a moment) – Rihanna is not a talented singer in any sense of the word and she is definitely not a songwriter, so it is quite baffling that she could be expected to judge such a competition. In fact, most of the material included on her own projects is actually handed to her, along with the direction of her music and image. It’s all carefully calculated by her label.

I mean maybe they put her on there to just fill up a seat? With such a talented panel and a presence of a R&B star (Timbaland) already there, I mean what would possess you to place Rihanna on any (let alone a song-writing competition) sort of panel? Really, what was the need? I can only imagine of how worse this can get! I mean what is next for Rihanna? A place as a judge American Idol judging panel? – I mean if that goes down then I might have to shut this site!
