the Rihanna fanspace!

Robyn Rihanna Fenty was born in the parish of St. Michael, Barbados, on February 20, 1988. Growing up, Rihanna led a relatively simple, average life on her island home. She attended Combermere, a kind of technical high school, and, despite having a natural singing talent, she didn't give much thought to performing -- aside from singing with her friends for fun.Rihanna brought a little Caribbean heat to the summer of 2005 with the smash hit "Pon de Replay." She kept the pressure on with her next single, "If It's Lovin' That You Want," from her debut album, Music of the Sun. Rihanna's second album, A Girl Like Me, included hit singles "SOS," "Unfaithful" and "Break It Off" with Sean Paul. In 2007, her success continued with her third album, "Good Girl Gone Bad," with chart toppers like "Umbrella" featured Jay-Z, "Shut up And Drive" and "Don't Stop The Music." How long will Rihanna be riding this wave of hits? If it means we get to keep seeing that beautiful face, then we hope forever.
