Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 No it doesn't matter. In the 90s you had white and black artists having success with R&B. It's just when one group of people seem to be the only ones having success with it, it is a problem. Again, race isn't the only factor, but to say it isn't one is crazy. Everyone not named Beyonce, Usher (sometimes), and Chris Brown (sometimes). A major part of that is the artist itself.. They're past their prime.. Another part is the music itself.. It's not always about race. Chris Brown? R&B is a dying genre... It's being morphed into other genres.. And that's great You ask these white r&b artists who their influences are.. 9/10 they will say a black artist.. Or Madonna which went r&b in the 90s no? It's all about generations..

aed05 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 King is MJ and anything else is corny.. President is unique and fits (popular vote.. Elected.. Etc) President is just as corny as anything else. Titles are for those that were first. Justin and his team seem like they're reaching with this president mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin and his team seem like they're reaching with this president mess. First? No.. Reaching? No. If he wasn't popular or didn't have the highest selling album this year and best first week then it would be unnecessary.. I think it fits him well..

TwistedElegance™ Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 “It’s the VMAs. It’s not the Grammys. We’re talking about Madonna in a wedding dress humping the stage, we’re talking about Britney doing a striptease. This cycle is not uncommon. … I’m saying she’s young, take it easy on her. I think ['We Can't Stop'] is jammin’ when I hear it on the radio. I like all the bears. To me, it’s almost like if something like that doesn’t happen at the VMAs, then I feel like it was boring.” - Justin Timberlake Truth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 There's always shock & awe at the Mtv VMAs... but this one was just soooooo bad... You could have done the shock & awe by dancing with Janet in the same outfit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a joke I heard this Ariana Grande girl is good. I think she's Bieber's age. Not sure if she's gone down the sex sells road. Sadly those people don't get as much airtime or media rec.

Selz Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Music should save people, that's all. The lyrics should affect somebody's life in a positive way. That's why I stan for MJ, Jessie J and unsigned artists like J Marie Cooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about today and within the 21st century. Michael's later lyrics had great meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
