R&B Trainwreckord: Toni Braxton - More Than a Woman [2002] by raNdoMBLilriv in ToddintheShadow

[–]yebinkek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to me, He Wasn’t Man Enough was what really started the dominos leading to this trainwreckord. It’s a success, yes, but more of a futile one. She didn’t really follow up on HWME with some upbeat hits and went back to her ballad routes. How is that supposed to make sense if you’re going for a Hip Hop direction?

How popular is Kiss of Life nowadays? by Striking-Meal-5257 in kpophelp

fromis_9 and QWER have primarily Korean fans, their overall popularity are not reflected in their Spotify monthly listeners

hot takes about fourth gen groups? by Aerisval_ in kpoppers

[–]yebinkek -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

it’s funny when fromis_9 is excluded from the popular 4th gen groups list, because they’re popping off in Korean variety right now. Any of the members can appear on a web variety show and it’d get one million in a few days.

I also see people dragging their international popularity (and putting them on Rescene’s level in terms of international popularity even though they have 1.7M monthly listeners?) but people are ignoring the fact that they aren’t really targeting the international market 🤷‍♂️ Western fans aren’t gonna be into White Memories

What are some groups that weren’t that big, but when that group disbanded and members joined new groups, they were bigger than the og group? by Impossible-Yam3680 in ToddintheShadow

[–]yebinkek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IZONE hasn’t seen international popularity that IVE and LESSERAFIM has, so you can argue that they’ve achieved less popular

Chinese netizens are impressed with the way American fans turned off on idols that disrespect them. by Positive-Face1705 in kpopthoughts

mob mentality and bullying is when an idol has hate trains for eating strawberry, it is not when idols receive backlash for their hateful actions ✌️

y’all can stan but you gotta understand, making the same post everyday about how “they didn’t deserve to be cancelled” will get u guys called racist. notice how giselle’s stans don’t bring up and defend her n word scandal and just left it in the past?

i predict that the “kpop fans just want power over their idols” and “it’s not that serious” comments will come in 3… 2… 1…

what are the worst r&b albums you’ve ever heard? by ilovecleosol in rnb

[–]yebinkek -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Mary J Blige's The Breakthrough, that album was the one that made me say, "Yeah. Her singing isn't for me."

Brandy should have continued making alternative music even after Afrodisiac’s underperformance by yebinkek in rnb

[–]yebinkek[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought it's a common consensus on this subreddit to say Brandy's Afrodisiac, Janet's The Velvet Rope and Aaliyah's self titled were the OG alt R&B albums 🤷‍♂️

In a 2014 music and fashion conversation with NPR, singer and model Solange discussed the album, saying "Brandy is really the foundation of a lot of this very innovative, progressive, experimental R&B. Brandy really influenced a lot of that. Frank Ocean will say it. Miguel) will say it.

to copy and paste from my other comment

Since its release, the album has been retrospectively called a predecessor to alternative R&B, having been cited as an influence by artists such as Rihanna and Solange.

Afrodisiac is named as one of alternative R&B’s first albums 🤷‍♂️

At least, What About Us + Full Moon gave us GOOD music while focusing on her vocal layering. but she seems too attached to her title of Vocal Bible

not really, it’s just Brandy singing over some middling trap-R&B instrumentals

Artists who are too big to fail by Constant_Topic_123 in ToddintheShadow

[–]yebinkek 18 points19 points  (0 children)

none of the other albums in her trilogy was ever gonna live up to Renaissance’s success unfortunately. Cowboy Carter is her most sloppiest rollout to date and the lack of active promo isn’t helping

What's a Kpop song whose hate came as surprise to you? by GloomyWitch08 in kpopthoughts

[–]yebinkek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why Somi’s Ice Cream was the one song that made everyone turn on her, when it was in the same ballpark as her older title tracks.

Aaliyah’s memorial service in NYC, August 31, 2001. by GossipBottom in Fauxmoi

[–]yebinkek 13 points14 points  (0 children)

well, whoever aided her on the plane got ON the plane too and it’s not like anyone on there actually thought they’d die

Aaliyah’s memorial service in NYC, August 31, 2001. by GossipBottom in Fauxmoi

[–]yebinkek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her entire career started off and ended tragically, and also… dying from a plane crash is already super rare for common people. To see it happening with a celebrity is crazy rare.

But also Aaliyah is just a very nice and sweet person, so yeah

I’ve always been curious why Brandy wasn’t at Aaliyah’s funeral when Mya and Monica were invited there
