The top 10 most played songs on mainstream urban radio is flawless, so no.

It's trash because many of the artists like Sevyn, Jhene, Weekend have weak voice and can't SANG.

So much truth is one sentence. Why is Sevyn Streeter even famous?
All of her songs sound like unreleased demos for other artists.

Exactly. R&B is a very exclusive genrethat select communities enjoy for the most part. With all due respect, I like my music universal.

R&B is loved the world over just like Hip-Hop I mean you have kpop doing stuff like this

Lord Blackout, let me ask you something.

Do you like being Black?

R&B is great and is DEFINITELY making a comeback in the near future

If you don't like it's current state it's because you haven't searched enough

"Happy" is really not all that R&B.

And again, Drake is not "forward-thinking." How can you diss Jhene and The Weeknd, then praise Drake, who makes the SAME type of music?

You're right. Happy is Funk.
I don't understand people who don't like Happy. It's one of the best songs of 2013.

And any R&B, from Ledisi to Frank Ocean is better than modern Dance/EDM. You'd think artists would do their best to come up with something really great, forward thinking. Ala Roisin Murphy maybe. But no, they'd rather be "generic". All those EDM songs are obviously made for money... and they usually fail.

Let's not get into calling R&B local because it really isn't.

Anybody here a fan of Dawn Richard?

Man, she took R&B into epic, dreamy & luscious places

Her pop incorporation is dope, too!

And why do you even care if they're "dated," "reductive," etc.? That never stopped you from supporting Ke$ha.

I care because I like R&B. And dated, reductive R&B artists are damaging to the R&B genre,
especially when that dated, reductive R&B tops charts, like "Happy." And yes, I'm
grateful for an artist like Ke$ha to listen to, until R&B can get back on track.

*****, you stan for Katy Perry. You're opinion isn't even valid, not even in Pop music.

And no definitely not! I've been getting into more R&B than ever before lately! So I'd say the genre is in a great place right now.

So honey, having a weak voice automatically makes their work "absolute trash". What ever happened to the lyrics? Song structure? Production?. Does that mean Ke$ha is trash too because she hasn't got a voice like Beyonce?

I agree, she's fantastic and I look forward to more solo projects from her.
