it's dead guys. acrobatic vocals don't sell anymore.

they do if you have the right skin color.

:ohwow: :young:

Justin Bieber, Jessie J, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Adele, Meghan Trainor, are doing mighty fine with their "soulful" voices.

Justin has a 'soulful' voice?  :hmph:

Except Adele and Ariana I don't know the others singers You mentioned but I don't think it's a "race" issue. Beyonc? is black for example but her albums are selling very well and She has a huge fanbase composed of white people.

and I want u to know that Bert is a flop and a pedo btw.

Justin Bieber could be black lol, his voice and style is R&B downe. His image and exposure level is pop. But if he was black, he'd be classified as R&B.

And Beyonc? literally works 10 times as hard as the other gurs I mentioned, she had to bend over backwards to barely go platinum, while Taylor Swift, Adele do these numbers in their sleep.

And Bert is the most successful R&B act of the last 30 years, so if he is a "flop", the entire genre is.

He sings just like all the other current R&B male singers honestly. Ed Sheeran too.

Just admit that white artists sell more because they're white and more appealing to the GP.

and i mean...
the bootleggers that stand on the corner selling ripped and burned albums for $5

only do it in the black community. I've never seen them outside my community

Do people still do that? Sell bootleg CDs I mean?

Not her perching in the barbershop looking for sales of the movies she records on her camcorder

!!! That's the thing too. They don't realize how hard Bey has to work just to scrap a platinum mess while Slim and Adelephant can book plat' right out the gate.

That's happened to me with white people. When I said I bought 25, they looked at me crazy too

Guess it's a proven fact that crackers don't buy music either

Nigger, they looked at you crazy because they didn't expect your black ass would listen to Adele. Probably thought you listen Lil Wayne and Boosie.

wtf  :uhh: sjdkfmdfmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

blacks just don't support each other and it is what it is..

they'd rather tear each other down that build each other up

Is this post supposed to be Exhibit A?

'man is so rude

Negress self

SUPREME

I don't understand

So if we acknowledge the fact that white artist sell easily, especially given the fact that the majority of the U.S. Is Caucasian

Why is it such an issue that blacks aren't selling as much

Especially given the music sales climate these days
