bunky1787 2009-03-23 18:47:34 Total Posts: 440 | Okay so we've been discussing our opinions on how r&b will turn out in the next decade... so lets each pick ONE new artist/group that could begin a new positive trend/future in r&b in the next decade... here's mine.... Kevin Michael- cant find any links on him right now but a few of his jams are IT DONT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO ME, WEEKEND JUMPOFF, LOVE LETTER, & VICKY SECRETS. The kis is young, but his voice is impressive and soulful for his age. | |||
R&B Guru 2009-03-23 22:41:29 Total Posts: 2527 | It's a cop out since you all know it, but I think Ahmir will be a leader in R&B. They've shown their stubborness in working with the labels and their willingness to try their own thing. They've found a good balance between ballads and uptempo tracks so they can catch the old fans and hte new ones. I think they're the only ones capable right now of bringing the group scene back. | |||

R&B Guru 2009-06-03 18:40:52 Total Posts: 2527 | Well is the question of scale of popularity or of continuing the quality of R&B? | |||
Havok214 2009-06-03 19:58:58 Total Posts: 407 | To be honest, I have almost completely given up on new music. More than 90% is trash or borderline. Even alot of artist with long tenure and who have proven themselves in the past, have largely dissapointed me with the albums released in the last 2-3 years . So I really dont check for new music with excitement. I"m not really worried about it though because there's a near limitless amount of material from the past for me to enjoy. As far as I'm concerned, it's "new" if I've never heard it. | |||
Moofu 2009-06-03 20:33:40 Total Posts: 725 | I haven't given up on new music yet. I liked the new Case, J. Holiday and Ruben Studdard album. But, I agree with you Havok that artist who have proven themselves in the past have put out poor albums (boyz ii men comes to mind). | |||
JohnnyAwesome24 2009-06-04 04:11:31 Total Posts: 1928 | J Holiday is trash and Reuben, while talented, is hard for me to take seriously. I do like his new single, though I can't remember the name. | |||

Buddha 2009-06-04 21:57:27 Total Posts: 517 | what's wrong with Trey? | |||
JohnnyAwesome24 2009-06-04 22:35:15 Total Posts: 1928 | You mean other than his voice and the fact that he looks like he is a Ugandan AIDS baby? Nothing. You are probably on to something though, he may be pretty big for a while. R&B is doomed. | |||

mansoor_warrior 2009-06-09 14:10:20 Total Posts: 8 | I agree with what Moofu said about Boyz II Men. Their 2002 joint Full Circle is one of my fav albums, but The Remedy is horrible, I tried my best to like it but cant | |||
