Both are great artists. Donnell has the best album out of the 2 but Joe has the better overall catalog, in my opinion

Surprised the series is still going honestly. Very much peaked from 2020 to 2021

Both are great. I wish Elgin would quit playing and agree to do this even if it is him just solo. Prime Elgin had it all body, looks, talent, and all the hits.

I would love to see Ginuwine go against someone too just to redeem himself and remind ppl of his catalog after all of the memes and jokes over his BS during the last few years

Joe has more hits and is the better singer/performer so he got this but Donnell has my fave album of the two. I still play Where I Wanna Be regularly.

I wish he would do it. He has declined before. Fck these kids making fun of him with their jokes and memes. Sometimes his comments on social media lets it be known them jokes have gotten to him. Ginuwine was a problem. Fatima has him so smooth. Whew when he performed pony on Apollo  :wub: . I want him to have a legacy overhaul. He and Toni are two who killed but the kids don't realize how deep and legendary their careers are.

And he's still handsome af. He just needs a real team (a stylist, personal trainer, a creative director, etc) to come in and make him that fine ass unc everybody used to lust for in the 90s/00s and stop looking cheap and washed  :plzstop:

Joe is so humble to agree to this. Donnel really has two super big hits. Joe has at least 8 or 9.

If we're talking, hits, impact and writing ability then the only person in Joe's league is Robert.

And imma Joe FAN fan so he could play obscure shit and it would hit for me.  I still think So I can have you back from his last album is one of the best R&B songs.......EVER

I mean Donell is cool or whatever but he don't have the hits or these kinda vocals IMO

Knowing their background, both probably play songs they wrote and produced too.

Post by: rosone1 on August 12, 2026, 11:27:01 AM
I hope they just play the songs, like in the earlier Verzuz.Joe is going to be drunk and Donell has a lot of vocal issues.And I know people on social media is going to thrash my guys.

 :plzstop: Nah can't wait to see.Where I Wanna Be is a no-skip album and Joe is my Top 10 of R&B artist. Hope they bring out Case for Faded Pictures.

Not to mention this CLASSIC

And then Joe even got cultural smashes that people love that weren't even hits. Ive seen him live 3x and everytime he plays this the crowds goes up like it was a #1 record
https://youtu.be/jnwR_eri-QY


I like Donell but if Joe does what he needs to do this can be a massacre

They're both great honestly. But after seeing both of them live (well after their prime) Brian is >>> vocally. I last saw Joe when he went on tour with Tamia. Tamia opened, but she should've been the main event. He couldn't hold a candle to her and most of us in the audience were a lil bored. (Except for the Aunties)

I just think a Brian VS Joe event would've been more fair/enjoyable

Now I went to that Joe and Tamia concert too and you're correct about that. Tamia KILLED and Joe while he can still sing, he be ducking some of them big notes and playing with that mic a lil bit now.  Brian does still sound great

I honestly think that Brian would've been a better match for Joe. But even then, I'd still say Joe wins.
