Tank, Joe or Usher?
ALL 3 deserve it
I know someone on here who is pissed at this top 3 lolz
Should be Ush, but wouldn't be mad if Joe won
Joe should win. I'm kinda surprised Usher outlasted Sisqo and Tyrese.
I think it's going to be Joe. Tank is losing in the poll most likely because he's the least popular
I think Joe has the best mix of talent and well known catelog
Joe is the best singer. I haven't been voting but lemme go
Quote from: Gilgamesh. on June 13, 2026, 09:30:15 PMJoe should win. I'm kinda surprised Usher outlasted Sisqo and Tyrese.
u know it ain't based on real vocals with tevin Campbell and USHER there
wouldnt be surprised if tank wins
hes super versatile IMO
Yeah Joe is definitely the best singer, but I like far fewer of his songs than Usher
Usher is a great vocalist considering he's the dancer/pop star out of the choices left
Although, also not a fan of a lot of his stuff, I might un-eliminate r. Kelly. He used to be sangin back in the day

That's a hard one, since most male singer maintain their voices.
Unpopular opinion.Tank is a great singer but overrated.He is better than most 2000s and up singers but not when you throw in Brian McKnight, Joe, Johnny Gill, Dave Hollister and even R.Kelly.

Dave Hollister SINGSSSSSSS :gorlonfire:
Yea i think Tank is HIGHLY overrated. When I listen to that R&B money podcast and some people say he's their favorite singer as if he has a luther voice...........
Everyone mentioned in that lil paragraph sings better imo. The ONLY one that's arguable is R Kelly.
Tank's voice has declined in the current day due to his drinking and hearing loss
I would say from his debut up until like 2016 his range and running ability had most R&B males named in here shook
And he has a great ear for harmony
A lot of these men are not giving everything he gives
Tank has never had a luther voice ever and he does those runs where he be bobbing his head all over the damn place like BIIM not like Kim Burrell, Darryl Coley's SKILFUL runs. Tank can sing but he's never been "great" imo. The closest he got was that Stronger album. That was pretty good
Saying his runs are not SKILLFUL is an outright LIE. You might not like how it looks but the runs are definitely intricate and most singers you name would say the same thing.
And even to say like Wanya or Shawn's runs aren't skillful either?
My God. But then again I'm not talking to other singers in here so I understand
Yea, they not good
Somehow he made it to top 3 on this poll
Hmm
Yeahhhh. Always giving Tank TOO much
A poll tevin campbell was amongst one of the first eliminated? :dead:
As u said, I don't look at shit like this as an indicator of much because the general public votes as the general public will. Tevin Campbell literally sings better than all 3 of those men. The same way Brian McKnight was eliminated because we've decided we don't like him anymore and nothing to do with vocals. He also sings better than Tank and Usher
Saying Tevin sings better than these men is like saying Tamar sings better than Beyonce, Brandy and Jazmine.
Can he WAIL higher and louder than them? Sure. But apparently the ppl taking this poll have more sophisticated ears than the average music listener and they know there's more to singing than who can sing the highest
Being a good singer/vocalist is much more than hitting notes on an R&B song. Usher has legit successfully been able to deliver over multiple genres and do it INCREDIBLY well.
So yes. Ush >>>> Tevin "3 year career" Campbell
But still a good singer
Joe. tf
Higher? Tevin Campbell is a male whitney. That's like saying whitney sang better because she sang high. Tevin sang better at his best than usher or tank EVER could and it didn't have shit to do with high notes, hence me not mentioning them. My favorite female singers are Toni Braxton, India Arie, Lalah Hathaway, etc. So take that who sings higher shit over there because that never came from me because that's not something I value. My point was made in my previous post. I think Brian McKnight may have been the first person out. That invalidated this whole thing. This is a popularity contest, not a vocal off. Usher there when Brian and Tevin are eliminated. Laughable :dead:
Anyone that knows me in my personal life knows I don't even like men that sound like bitches. I like men who sound like men. Joe, tyrese, jaheim, teddy P, Dave Hollister. Issac carree, etc. Then there are some mfs who u just cant deny. Darryl coley, Tevin Campbell, Maxwell etc. Usher ain't cutting it. SORRY! And Tank is overrated with subpar ass music and that's why that mfs go to is taking off that shirt. Still ain't got that mf one platinum album after all these years :dead:
Tevin literally is only the male Whitney because he purposely tried to sing like her (and Aretha)
He is not Daryl Coley. That's exactly why I compared him to Tamar. They sing alike high and loud. I almost wanna put him with J HUD but he does have more flexibility than that.
I will agree that you never have been the one to only like high notes but that is literally the only thing separating him from the men on this list especially Tank and Usher
Yeah. Tevin ain't a Whitney :dead:
Thats literally sumn that people said and has been addressed all the time but OK :dead:
And yea singing like Whitney has nothing to do with high notes. Brandy was very reminiscent of Whitney on her debut and that had nothing to do with notes because Brandy aint never hit a Whitney note EVER. Its about inflection, tone quality, skill,and ability. Tevin's ABILITY far exceeds ushers and thats why Usher is never in the conversation when it comes to VOCALS. Imma let this convo be tho because I refuse to discuss vocals with non vocalists LOLZ! I never claimed to know everything and always be right (tho I usually am lol) but I do have a degree in music and im better than debating with useless and STRAY about MUSIC :receipts:
Cry all you want. But until you provide the material up against an Usher or Joe, you lose.
Hopefully your material is more than a Goofy soundtrack though
It really be so funny when i hear people talk about musical people being a certain way because I really am a bit of a music snob :dead: :young:
Thats why I'll never sit on here and discuss a pretty damn ricky. Even my favs who arent "vocalists" have some great qualities. I dont wanna take everything away from Usher tho. He cool for a lil ying yang round da house. He has had what tank commonly doesn't, good music
I FORGOT ABOUT A GOOFY MOVIE SDTRK :gorlonfire:
Lemme go get a piece of that
I'm sorry but :plzstop:

This closet case don't compare to Ush or Joe
The whitneyisms all thru that damn song. Literally the way that video ended could've BEEN whitney

As I said, I'm not debating anything nor am I tryna prove anything to you. I'm just discussing Tevin atp. U think he doesn't compare to usher, GREAT! I agree :dead:
Speaking of whitney's influence, the way I have listened to the beginning of this over and over :plzstop:

even thru all the whitney teas...she couldn't hide that uniquely raspy voice of hers.
GHan is everything :stressed:

This is the first time I've heard of Tevin being a male Whit.

Monica mimics her too and I don't hear you putting her above most women

I literally just posted a video of brandy "mimicking" Whitney houston and again that has nothing to do with notes. There are tons or men who hit high notes and even higher than tevin. Mimicking is about copying someone's "Isms". The key to copying a singer is about tone, inflection, phrasing, etc. Ray u be saying the most nonsensical things :dead:
But u got it, tevin was only comparable to Whitney because he could hit notes. Whatever u feel makes him closer to Whitney, fine. The bttm line is he sings better than tank and MOST CERTAINLY usher :kii:

there's a difference that you're missing. Tevin wasn't called the male Whitney because his ability is equal to hers. He's called that because he's able to literally sound like her and sing in her range and copy some of her runs.
Tevin is an exception because he is a man doing this but multiple females
Brandy, Monica, even Deborah Cox can also imitate Whitney in some areas as well. That's not what makes them great singers
and Tank and Usher not being able to sound like a grown woman is not a disadvantage. They do great things with warm masculine voices.
This high falsetto though
Ok bro!
Again, why ever u feel Tevin is the female Whitney is ur opinion. I dont agree. He sings better than Tank and Usher. I literally went in the bathroom didnt warm up, didnt half try fr, and didnt know the words. If I ACTUALLY made an effort to sing that, I could nail it. Tevin Campbell vocals are WORK and all aint able......Including tank and flush lolz!

Put it back up so I can hear it.

Vonc got a cute voice. I was not expecting that from him.
Serenade me a bit king
Not Ray deleted the MESS :kii:
Ray, it wasnt giving tevin anymore?
I'm a professional
I cannot leave up a less than excellent vocal even if it is to make fun of Tevin
Tevin>>>>
But not all the best vocalists being eliminated first :uhh:
Maxwell>>>>>>>> them ALL tbh
Hggffuugrdz
Outside of a nice falsetto why is Maxwell so exceptional?
:dead:
Attempting to diminish Maxwell to just "a nice falsetto" speaks to the level of knowledge someone has and what kind of singing they do. It's giving those people that like Mary J Blige and Keyshia Cole. Maxwell doesn't even just sing in falsetto :dead:
Idk many that can give a CLEAN perfect LIVE vocal like this

Tbh I can't trust anyone's opinion who claims tank and usher as they favorite SINGERS because HOW :plzstop:
I can take an I like their songs, I think they are handsome (ray👀), Great performances, etc. But SINGERS!?!? :dead:
Well they're winning this poll of SINGERS. On the same page where Beyonce and Brandy were in the top 2 for female SINGERS
coincidentally also my favorite female singers as well
The majority are agreeing and not picking a Maxwell, Tevin, etc
and also these singers have also been mentioned in multiple ppls top 5 R&B singers on the R&B money podcast
Even if you want to discredit Tank for it being his show, they still say Usher more than anyone else yall are listing
