Title: The male Whitney/Mariah (vocally)
Post by: Dee on May 05, 2024, 10:02:40 AM
A recent discussion I had with friends after this recent Tamar debate mess.

Do y'all think we've ever seen any male versions of Whit/Mimi in R&B?

I've always heard most argue that Tevin Campbell was the male Nippy

I saw a post on IG suggesting Brandy=Tony Thompson.I was wowed at the similarities and don't know how we/people never talked about it before.

Tevin can sing, but his voice is kinda thin to me. He doesn't give a robust vocal like Whit did.

I guess in terms of "pop" George Michael and Luther.

Luther was the GOAT male vocalist.

Yeah Tevin has the agility but his voice isn't FULL.
