Huh? No. You threw a dig at Anita Baker but she’s still doing stadiumsWhitney died as a very beloved figure in black America, but it just wasn’t always like that
Revisionist history.
The greatest love of all is the song Randy Watson did in Coming to America. Just depended on your preference. She was mad popular and her first album sold like crazy.
During this era we had Patti, Gladys, and plenty of others putting out hit soundtrack music.
Whitney snatched the crown with Waiting to Exhale though.
And everybody liked pop shyt in the late 80s. Or nikkas gonna act like Mike Jack was on some thug shyt
I'm thrown off as well.
Pretty sure everybody fukked with that song.
Check the charts...it performed well in all markets. (Pop/urban/AC/dance)
You threw a dig at the Voice herself for being versatile and not limited to one particular genre. Then you posted a stadium like Whitney has not performed at more and bigger stadiums. Anita is great but Nippy is the Voice for a reason.

Might be a good thread to plug my thread since whitney and anita have been mentioned.

Hell nah that shyt was wack. I don’t even remember black radio playing that song like that. As far as dance music was concerned Janet was getting more love
Even Lisa Lisa
Whiteny didn't have no versatility she was all pop, that cornball shyt, cacs wrote for her lmao, like I said, I stated this in the whitney houston thread that shyt was overrated, her music lacked soul, she didn't try to R&B untl it I'm your baby tonight
No she can't, she don't have soul
All her music was the same, its more to singer than just being loud
shyt sound a celine dion song lmao, yall nigaz really exposing yourselves, whitney was a black woman who sung white SONGS written by white people
you didn't even post her R&B joints lmao, cacs told you whitney was the best and you ran with it lmao

That’s becuz anybody who is black automatically gets lumped into the urban market
The Queen of Soul would beg to differ. She cosigned Whitney many times...let's not
