That's the point. Every time she gets any attention, it's not because of music she did, it's because she did something stupid, or her boyfriend beat her.

Try googling Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan, Arturo Toscanini, Leopold Stokowski, Yevgeny Mravinsky, and Mtislav Rostropovich. You'll get sites about music, discussing their interpretations and performances of various pieces of music.
It works the same for living conductors. Michael Tilson Thomas, Daniel Barenboim, Bernard Haitink, Valery Gergiev, Esa-Pekka Salonen... all of these people are known for their musical accomplishments.
If you google Rihanna... you get a bunch of celebrety gossip sites, talking about that time she was beaten, her nude photos, the tattooing incident, etc. Very little about music.

Laihendi; it's not really Rihanna's fault, it's the Media. If any of the people you mentioned were as famous as she is, it'd be the exact same thing.

Leonard Bernstein is probably the most famous American musician who has ever lived. If you are an American and don't know who he is, then you are simply ignorant.
And Karajan is extremely famous around the world as well, but in America his fame is overshadowed by Bernstein.

If you read old news articles about him online, they talk about his music. They don't talk about his homosexual affairs from the most homophobic time in American history, they don't talk about his alcoholism or other drug addictions, they talk about his music, because that's why people cared about him.

They should. A person's music is many times a reflection of their habits. Maybe if you understood his drug addiction you'd better understand his music.
Anyways, Laihendi, you know it's not the same thing; Bernstein was never in the Media as much as Rihanna is, if he was, it'd be the exact same thing.

Never in the media? He dominated the American music scene for 40+ years.

Ok, what Laihendi should have said is that he spent 40+ more years getting media attention than Rihanna has. Happy?
