Rihanna has become the latest recording artist having her portrait transformed into an artwork for the upcoming 51st Grammy Awards. Pictured from above the neck line, the Grammy ad of the 20-year-old, which came from Spinner, was made from all of the selected song titles that inspired the "Disturbia" songstress.
As she is so inspired by Destiny's Child, Rihanna's selections included at least five of group's tracks; "Say My Name", "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Survivor", "Independent Women" and "Lose My Breath". Beside tracks from the all-girl group led by Beyonce Knowles, songs from Prince, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, John Legend, Michael Jackson and Celine Dion have also made her cut.
Having won a 2008 Grammy Award for her collaboration with Jay-Z in "Umbrella", Rihanna is up for three Grammy nominations this year. She grabbed the nods for Best Dance Recording, Best Long Form Music Video and Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals. She shared the latest gong with Maroon 5.
The 51st Annual Grammy Awards will be held on Sunday, February 8 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles. It will be aired live on CBS from 8 - 11:30 P.M. (ET/PT). During the ceremony Dean Martin will be presented with a Lifetime Achievement award.
