Peep this supah cool artwork of Rihanna. It's part of a promotion for the upcoming 51st Grammy Awards. All of the text used in her portrait contains song titles from at least 15 of her favorite songs. At least SIX are Destiny's Child songs: "Say My Name," "Bills,Bills,Bills," "Survivor," "Independent Woman," "Lose My Breath" AND "Emotions"....ok well she love her some DC3 boy.....

I spotted "My Heart Will Go On" Celine Dion, "I Will Always Love You" Whitney Houston, and "Dream Lover" by Mariah Carey. Incidentally all are Grammy winners! So doh start to fuss cause you doh see Alison Hinds or Machel or Elephant man song ok. If it was a songs to make you wuk up list. No doubt they would be there!!!
