Let us recognise Rihanna’s success

by Melody on November 6th, 2007

RIHANNA is the “biggest thing” (person) to come out of Barbados ever. Yet to date, not a word of acknowledgement at the national level. How can this be?

Rihanna’s success has been phenomenal, almost unbelievable. She has outshone entertainers all over the world. She has successfully competed with the very best in the United States. I certainly did not think that I would have lived long enough to see a Barbadian dominate the world scene as she has. Yet we remain silent. How can this be?

Sportsmen in the Caribbean have done less but have received immediate recognition – house, land, keys to the city – from their respective governments. Hasn’t Rihanna accomplished what successive ministers of culture have asked young Barbadians to aspire towards? Come, come! We can do better than this. Lay out the red carpet for a super star.
