Do you feel R.Kelly is the closest to MJ when it comes to talent and music with R&B?

I can't think of anyone that comes as close.

Bascially period. He mostly made nothing, but good music his whole career, and he has made good music for other artists as well.


You mean alive? If so I would say he's a strong contender. I've never heard a song by him I didn't like.

Neyo

Babyface sings the songs he wrote for others just as good or better very clean R&B

Luther sings better than MJJ and has hits

El Debarge if he had the right team and stayed sober he sings better than Michael ...period...Michael still beats him

Chris Brown for the youngters

R. Kelly still the legend in two games like PeeWee Kirkland

R. Kelly (nor Beyoncé) is anywhere close to MJ.

The closest you will get to an MJ is Janet. That's why they're the King and Queen, respectively.

R Kelly is good, but he had way too many corny songs.

And you can't put him before Prince

:rudy:Better song writer & producer than Janet, Bey & MJ
and got better vocals than MJ(Not a better voice but better vocals)

What in R. Kelly's catalog is on par with Thriller, Off The Wall, Rhythm Nation, The Velvet Rope...?

Better writer/producer my ass. FOH.
