There is more to art besides creating but an artist is a creator. I think Rihanna is more involved in her "look" but "looks" and fashion doesn't have anything to do with music specifically. They at times can coincide with eachother but she is not a pop star that is involved in the creation of her music which is what defines an "artist"
Not to mention she sounds the same on every song. She doesn't seem to have much range. Rihanna likes to stay in her comfort zone. I like a few songs myself but she can't touch an artist like Chaka Kahn or Aretha.
