What white R&B singers?
:diddraispoot:

They name dropped Sam Smith & Adele.

Eric says why is it label 'genius' when they do it.

Kelly would win again if she wasn't so persistent on being this fat bitch.

Horrible I'd expect, especially given the fact this is my first time ever hearing this :dead:

Thanks, love! Just finished listening. I don?t consider these folks R&B artists. Hmmm I get what he?s saying, I?m just trying to think of examples that make sense?true R&B artists who are white.

Scott.

I don't think it's a case of us considering them as R&B artists, because in all reality they are not. But they do make soul music and artists like Jazmine Sullivan could make a song like "Hello" and it's a flop. But Adele made it a BIG success.

Justin Timberlake was apart one of the biggest pop boy bands and he started making R&B records and was successful with that, while other R&B artists are either being sent to Urban AC radio and not being heard at all and the music they are making isn't that different.
