    RL wrote most of their hits, sung lead on their songs, and was the most talented. "The Jacksons" had mj, "NE" had Ralph, "Guy" had Aaron, "Next" had RL

    Dang, you still look good, R.L. You are all right with me. I've watched a lot of your performances are you're pretty good live. As far r&b, I'm on the fence with it. I always love it because it's my favorite genre of music, but it's not getting any better. I feel like I've been complaining about it for over 10 years now. After Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans and D'Angelo disappointed me with stale, mediocre and forgettable music, I'm kind of over it. All the stuff I do happen to like gets overlooked. For all of you r&b brothas out there, ya'll really need a male version of R&B Divas. Seriously. You know everybody's gon watch it. I just have a bad feeling about this music thing. Anyway, I had no idea you were kicked out of Next. That first album still knocks today. You were the finest one and the best singer so I know you know why they decided to do what they did. I've never been a J.E. fan. I know and like a few of the singles, but they weren't strong enough for me to invest in.

    • @DavidRichardson95
      @DavidRichardson95 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well Mary is at that age where she has a dry spell. The London Sessions was decent, but didn't do well. Faith Evans wasn't in her peak since 2005 with The First Lady, and D'Angelo just came out of a 14 year hiatus, promoting heavily and hell be on SNL next week. A major platform for his comeback. But, in recent years R&B hasn't really prosper as much. All you have now is Jeremih, Chris, Trey, August and they all sound similar. Sam Smith, Miguel, Weeknd, Frank Ocean bringing a mew vibe to R&B. Same for the females such as Stacy, Jhene, Marsha, possibly Tinashe. You rarely see R&B dominating anymore.

      David Richardson I thought it was boring. I mean all of those brothas sound the same to me. Sam, Miguel, Weekend and Frank are all corny to pop to me. Jhene and Tinashe ain't r&b. I don't know what that stuff is to be quite honest with you.

    • @djsoulchild
      @djsoulchild 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      lneka There's no shortage of quality artists, Blame the industry / record labels who aren't trying to push or invest in quality R&B anymore. Why do you think watered-down, cookie-cutter, soulless Pop-R&B and ratchet music is dominating the charts and radio right now? It's all a part of their agenda, to dumb everything down and poison your minds. Don't forget that Luther Vandross and Keith Sweat were at the top of their games in eras (80's & 90's) when the internet didn't exist, which meant the record companies were making a lot of money and therefore had large budgets to create, develop and nurture legends. Those days are sadly over, that's why R&B is more of an underground scene now. But just because it's not in the mainstream charts anymore alongside Beyoncé and Rihanna, that doesn't mean it's dead or not thriving. They're just not making the same millions that they used to be able to, but that's the price of integrity. Integrity and not selling your soul is something people need to respect, rather than belittle it and call an artist "irrelevant"…just sayin'.

    R. L. should consider it a blessing. The Brown brothers both seem to have attitudes. Just watched Unsung those brothers seem like jerks.

    • @nathaniel8328
      @nathaniel8328 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The brown brothers are not jerks I also watched their unsung as well. When they came out with an album in 1997 they had good hits and won awards. When RL was doing duet with Deborah Cox. The other 2 members didn't have a problem with it. They did had some issues and 3 of them were at each others throat. Their back performing together. R L was mainly the reason why the group broke up he didn't do nothing wrong he jumped to quick T low said on unsung dude why are you jumping you live and learn. I think R L probably learn his lesson as well when you are part of a group their are rules.

    ya Tweet has the vocals R L can sing but the personality is not something is not right like he would always cut a side deal and rationalize it Tweet is the one with the vocals they should have capitalized on him as the Lead point singer trust me they would have been a lot bigger than they were Tweet has that undeniable universal appeal for all
