Buying music just isn't a priority.

- A Ciara fan

and you wonder why
She just got her 6th plat single

Stop spreading this lie, dyke and keep dreaming. RIAA says no ma'am.

not when no one is checking for the genre.

do you feel rnb is too hard to grasp these days meaning some songs are too wordy

ppl want simple shit they can single along easy too and something they feel like THEY sound good singing

i mean taylor swift anyone can sing that she isnt even vocals or range or good lyrics but her choruses are catchy and are easy to sing along too .. same with most of the billboard top 10



cause baby we got bad blood
you know it used to be mad love
so take a look at what youve done
cause baby now we got bad blood

are we outta the woods yet
are we outta the woods yet
are we outta the woods yet
are we in the clear yet
are we in the clear yet


haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate
players gonna play play play play play


i wonder if rnb artist made silly childish lyrics like that would it sell??
maybe they are trying to hard
Maybe, but you still have ur alternative girls that sell very well. I think people just want something they can sing along too. People dont wanna "sang" along, they wanna casually sing along

yep i agree! thats what i want for bran tbh we know she can SANGG we have 6 albums of that but i want queen to give his one more top 10 with one of those catchy songs


Scott.

Males are def more supportive.

The females are wayyyy too catty. K and Tamar had beef. Keyshia done had beef with Fantasia before. It's always some story somewhere lol. Even Anita had her share of beef lmao, just wasn't any social media to exploit it.

QuoteMore R&B artists need to support each other. Real support means touring together, forming alliances, dropping the ego and competitive spirit and rising up together. This means so-called mainstream R&B artists that get those major looks at radio or television need to reach out and down; to uplift someone else


That sounds kinda lame tbh.

Does anybody really want to see Frank go on tour with sTank?
or Bey on tour with some random R&B gorl ? and the competitiveness makes things interesting.
:sevynstreeter:

Right.

And I know over here the Urban AC artists - Keke, Kelly Price, Joe etc tour together quite regularly.

Rnb music needs to reinvent itself. Create a new genre, incorporate new elements, explore new horizons.

People are just sick of all these delayed acrobatic vocals, all these same delayed ass beats and the imagery that goes with it.

Kelly is the only female artist I've seen on social media except for maybe Monica that I see promote other people shit. I think her and Rico had a falling out and she still promoted his mess. Sis even did a radio mess telling people to pick up Keyshia's flop mess.

They are the perfect example of combining resources, forming alliances and winning together.

And i agree.  Especially the R&B females ...  their competitive spirit isn't in a healthy way. They all hate on, and shade each other   :dead: Lalah Hathaway sits up on twitter and does it all the time
what R&B females are hating on each other right now?

What R&B females do u see touring and promoting together doing duets? And with major names like Bey & Rih?

It's not happening. R&B doesn't have the voice it use to have.

I really hope Tamar and Mo keep their word and tour together. They could be a force if they do this right. Old & New school R&B
didnt Mary just tour with Tamar?
Bey, Kelly & Michelle get together like once every year
Faith put out her duet with Keke Wyatt, it got ignored
K Michelle and Tamar performed together at the BET awards
Lalah H and Chrisette did the Soul Train cypher
each example no one responds to
hhh you are so difficult
