Rihanna is singing the praises of fellow songstress Lady Gaga.

The Barbadian beauty is impressed with electro-pop princess’ groundbreaking sound and counts herself among the “Poker Face” star’s admirers, telling MTV News:

“She has a very bold, fearless image.”

The “Umbrella” singer continued: “I have to say, I have so much respect for original artists who aren’t afraid to do what they want to do. That’s what I respect most, so she’s awesome.”

Earlier this week, Motown music legend Smokey Robinson also praised Gaga, following her five Grammy nominations. “I enjoy her music. So I think that she’s unique. Unique always has a chance.”
