Rihanna was surprised and excited when Jay-Z appeared on her song and in her music video. She felt it elevated her career to a new level. Some believe Rihanna exposing herself in the video was due to being starstruck by the opportunity and pay, while others feel she was taking control of her image and projects like other successful artists. Britney Spears established her image as a provocative teen in her debut "Baby One More Time" video, which contrasted scenes of her dancing sexually with innocent moments. Her videos show her career highs and lows. Her latest video depicts a more meaningful relationship compared to her earlier sexualized persona, showing her image has changed over the years.

2. Rihanna’s Career Quotes
 Rihanna was shocked by Jay’s cameo — in the
video and in the song. “They just said, ‘We have a
surprise for you,’ ” remembered Rihanna, who
wears nothing but silver paint in one part of the
video. “I couldn’t imagine it would be Jay-Z getting
on the song. They played it for me, and I got
goose bumps everywhere. I still can’t believe that
I’m shooting a video with Jay-Z and I have a song
with Jay on it. It takes everything to another level
for me in my career as far as experience goes.” To
me this almost tells me that Rihanna was so
star struck by the opportunity and the sheer size of
the pay cut that she didn't mind exposing her
sexuality and appear seductive as she feels that
she's doing the best for her career.

3. Rihanna’s Image
 Rihanna said her evolution since 2006’s A Girl
Like Me consisted of everything from getting a
haircut to finding her own identity to doing what
so many of the greats before her such as
Janet, Mariah and Beyoncé did: take more
control of her projects. However from this you
also get a sense that Rihanna isn't at all
intimidated in a seemingly male industry, she
just wanted to create a branding image for
herself and thats the only person she was
thinking of while doing it, which personally
makes me feel that there is more to Rihanna
than just the amazing voice and seductive
persona.

4. Britney Spears
 Brodesser-Akner argues that Britney is now
“a feminist role model for single working
mothers here and everywhere” because she
simply fulfils her duties as an adult human.
Beyond being a singer and a dancer, Britney
Spears is a true music video artist. From the
moment we first met her in a Catholic school
girl uniform in the video for “Baby One More
Time”, we knew this would be a pop star
who would be saving her best moments for
on-screen. Now 13 years and nearly 30
music videos later, we’ve seen Britney
evolve (and occasionally devolve) just from
watching her clips. In fact you can pretty
much track her entire career—the highs and
the devastating lows— by viewing all of her
music videos in chronological order.

5. Britney Spears Image
 The video that started it all (Baby One More Time) In this
controversial debut, Britney established her image as a
teen provocateur with a strong Lolita vibe. The video
constantly cuts between her sexily dancing in a high
school hallway with her navel exposed to pouting like an
innocent deer against a locker which set the foundation
for her good girl/bad girl persona. Teasing the audience
and giving them what they couldn’t have was Britney’s
forte. In her latest single, Britney plays a girl who’s bored
with high society and her abusive boyfriend so she takes
up with a bad boy played by her real life boyfriend, Jason
Trawick. Together, they rob convenience stores and have
a ton of sex. Infact, their entire relationship consists of
guns and making love. Everything comes to a climax
when police surround them at their hideout and start
shooting through the windows. If this doesn't’t highlight
the change in Britney’s image over the years I do not
know what does, my theory is that she was seductive at
the start of it all in order to get her name out and now
she’s a sensation she can settle down and film in more
meaningful and deep ways.
