A lot of them up there don't even make R&B music. The fact that so many artists claiming to do R&B music don't even know what it is crazy. I get why the old heads were screaming ab what is being labeled as R&B isn't. Kelea is wrong R&B isn't a vocal styling. It is what it is rhythm and blues which was formulated out of gospel and started in the south.
Also the topic of pop is fascinating. Many people legit don't know it isn't a real genre. That it simply stands for popular.
Shawna being an industry executive and coming up with this assessment explains why so many of these new artists music sucks. The execs aren't good like pre-90s into early 00s. Reminds me of the video floating around of Coco and the confused execs she was talking to.
