She can try, i hope she succeed and i knw bey will try to keep it alive with the next era, i mean most of her songs have an R&B feel, and im rooting 4 miguel also......... And as for the rest of the R&B artists, i dont knw
But the thread says reinvent R&B, and well, Alicia/Monica/Brandy/Mary J. aren't really reinventing anything. They are sticking with basic/traditional R&B and becoming stagnant.
Miguel, The Weeknd, and Frank are what's in for R&B right now.
Queen Alicia will release a fierce second single that will have all the doubters begging for forgiveness. And the album sales will slay. Not the 21/Taylor kind of slay, but a slay regardless.
but reinvent? porb not, she would have great sales though
