Average
^That's only changed because of her semi improved vocal performance on "Russian Roulette". A couple yrs ago, I would have voted bad for sure. Something about her tone just makes her almost unlistenable on certain songs. Something about it just sounds very whiny and nasal. Unlike other people, I actually DON'T like that her accent comes through in her singing. I hate it.

Rihanna has a good voice. It's also one of the more unique voices in pop music.

Right now, its good. 4 years ago, it was average. She has a unique tone, a decent range, and she sings with CONVICTION. That's what seperates her from Ciara and Cassie. She has a full voice. You won't hear any whispering or breathy vocals from Riri.

She's improved greatly from her first album, and even then she was just shaky and needed more training/practice.

She used to be horrible, but she's improved a lot. I can give her credit for that. But it's still average.

Average.
Bland timbre, zero power, VERY limited range, nasal, really I can't think of any good qualities of her voice.

She is still not a great singer, and while RR is an improvement, I think more could have been done with that song vocally with a more talented artist. Not saying she doesn't pull the song off, but the end feels like it's asking for a little more than she can give. Her voice always sounds perfectly suited to her songs otherwise.

She used to be terrible, but she's improved a *lot*. I'd say she ranges from average to decent now.

I think I'm one of the only people who actually liked her voice when she first came out, though. I never really thought she was an awful singer.

I know she isn't a Mariah or Whitney, but you only need to hear one note of a song and always know instantly that it's Rihanna. She has the most recognizable voice on the radio right now IMO... I also love that her accent is so prevalent in her singing.

I think her voice is great cause I love the unique tone of her voice. This. The most iconic voices aren't necessarily the biggest but the most recognizable -- the ones that you know its them after only one note. Madonna, Britney, Alanis, Rihanna, Justin, etc.

^ my thoughts exactly I'm not even kidding she can't even sing better than Britney or Ciara she just has extremely catchy material i can't believe people are saying her voice is average.
