Not to sound corny but we all need to unite. R&B is becoming an afterthought.
!!!!
That's what I been saying

I think a huge part of the issue is the fan wars and labeling veterans "flops".

I mean Katy fanbase and Gaga fanbase can be at each others throats because they're enough of them to go around. However, black artist really dont need that division. They're simply not enough of us.

Prime example.... "It all belongs to me"! Not my favorite song but Bran & Mon fanbase couldnt come together for shit. Debating in the comments, dragging one for the other. The general public calling them flops just because they were veterans. The song didnt have a chance of reaching full potential because of the negative cloud (Whitney included).

it just wasn't a good enough song for the general public to care. it wasn't good enough to create much more buzz beyond the first week it came out. I love their vocals but thats not all people care about obviously

a few fans on the message boards and youtube? eh. would've been nice to see folks get along, but the numbers wouldn't have changed much. Hell, even people like Usher are slightly struggling these days

I dont think it wouldve Smashed Hot 100. But it could have done much better IF Brandy and Monica fans BOTH supported.

N its more than just here and youtube. Niggas was fusing on every blog that posted it. Blogs are powerful and general people see the comments. If you dont think that subconsciously affects how people perecieve things then yeah.

The song is garbage and the concept was corny. Grown now! United!

Not 10 mutha fucking K!!! I knew Jeremih would unfortunately flop regardless, but not that low.

throwintheTAL

sooner or later, artists are just gonna start throwin out songs solely for radios and not even release albums. They're proving to serve little to no purpose

This is sad.

I know people are flopping across the board, but I wish Black folks would come out and support our artists more. Push them to #1 and platinum status, especially while the Pop girls are struggling.

That way labels would have no choice but to pump coins back into Black artists outside of Rih & Bey.
