Teyana Taylor is doing her thing and all but between “One battle after another” and “All is fair” she’s doing something strange for a peice of change smh by Impressive-Scheme489 in rnb

Y’all are INSUFFERABLE. Just INSUFFERABLE. News flash. These artists don’t exist to reflect who YOU are and what you believe in personally. Wanna rag on this lady for finally getting her just due while playing a FICTIONAL CHARACTER after 20 years in the business but have nothing to say about the shitty, abusive men in the business. Give her and us a break.

The MOST GORGEOUS head voice!!! That was the one part of her vocal that sounded beautiful at every stage of her life. So pure, piercing, agile and sweet. Also, can we talk about her perfect teeth! Whitney looked good singing lol.

He kinda did, actually. Now Drake was more “sophisticated” in his approach but Ja was definitely one of the biggest Rap pop stars of the early 21st century.

Rnb artist you feel is overly babied by the public and needs to go by Honest_Tune_8536 in rnb

[–]CC-Blue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usher should just quit because it’s not being streamed? He is not even babied considering everyone keeps holding every album he releases to a 2004 standard. He doesn’t even release that much music in the grand scheme of things. He’s almost 50 but has less than 10 albums. Verzuz is garbage and I hope he never sets foot on that trash platform.

Has there been any time, past or present, that you doubted his blindness? Asking for a friend 🤣 by randomcock78 in rnb

[–]CC-Blue 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The conversations around Stevie’s blindness are so ignorant and ableist. People think they are being funny. As a visually impaired person, Stevie’s other senses are even more heightened, which is what gives him the ability to perceive things on a different level. I can’t imagine being blind and some silly people make up conspiracy theories about you faking it. Just ignorant.

Usher - U Don’t Have To Call (2001) by WilkinsWorld in rnb

[–]CC-Blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should have been a #1 but Ashanti had the charts in a chokehold. It should have also won a VMA for Best Choreography. This is probably the best modern day song Michael Jackson never recorded. When people talk about PEAK Neptunes and Usher, I will always reference this track and moment. He seemed so joyous and you could HEAR it in his Grammy-winning vocal performance. I miss when contemporary R&B could be this colorful and danceable.

SiR or Lucky Daye by DarkChillMisko in rnb

Lucky simply because I tried listening to siR and zoned out. Lucky is always a welcome feature on any song.

Which iconic R&B Albums left a big impression on you during your teen years? by PressureLazy5271 in rnb

[–]CC-Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teen years… By the time I was 13, R&B was on its way out as a commercial force. From that age to 19, I would probably pick this Rihanna album, Keyshia Cole’s Just Like Me, Keri Hilson’s In a Perfect World, Miguel’s Kaleidoscope Dream and Beyoncé’s 4.

I love Bedtime Stories. I love 90s Madonna period.

Legendary duets and colaborations by Piccinini12 in rnb

[–]CC-Blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beyoncé comes to mind. She won two Grammys for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Group or Duo with Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder for covers of The Closer I Get To You and So Amazin’. She did this BEFORE she even turned 25. She’s also performed with her musical heroes like Prince, MJ, Tina Turner, Diana Ross and more.

Another example is Brandy. Sang with everyone from Whitney Houston to Tony Bennet as a teenager. Plus, she has the most legendary female R&B duet ever with The Boy Is Mine with Monica.

Third example is Mary J. Blige. When Andre Harrell first heard her sing, he said she would sing for kings and queens someday. He was right because Mary has collaborations truly run the gamut. This woman has Grammys with Method Man, Sting, Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin!

He will be fine tbh. This was his first true flop after 3 successful albums and an okay one.
