Nobody has the staying power Usher has had. It’s not like he’s Lauryn Hill riding 30 years off 1 album. Dude carried the Super Bowl and didn’t even have time to go into some of his biggest hits (he did 15 seconds of Nice n Slow).
If we are going to name a successor to MJ, like it or not…..it’s Usher
Nobody can hang with him (currently) on multi-decade album sales, dancing/singing or tossing Usher bucks at hoes getting them in they feelings
Facts
Yea hoe
And singing voice is part of the equation but ain’t never been the deciding factor.
Plenty of singers sing technically better than Prince. But his overall musicianship shyts on them. Latoiya Williams (google her) sings technically as well or better then any woman you can name. But her music, production, melodies, etc make her a no name. Minnie Ripperton has quite possibly the greatest voice you’ll ever hear. Yet her albums dont compare to her inferior technical singing peers.
Usher himself. Has made quite a few duds since Confessions. Is it bc he lost his ability to technically sing?
No. Other factors matter and vocals are not the end all be all Again, you are out of your depth
FOHChris Brown can't fill up an IHOP let alone arenas. And the shyt is his own fault. I have no sympathy for that nikka.
But you still gotta put Bruno Mars up there and The Weekend ain't never really been R&B imo.

Did you not read where I said his music was alternative like Frank Ocean? Yeah Weeknd's early music was alternative r&b but he ditched that to go pop. He don't even like his old music labeled as r&b. He don't want to be in that category anymore. He spoke out against the Grammy's putting his music in r&b categories.

That’s not a given. We see the swerve Rihanna pulled with her music after they were styling and trying to present her and beyonce lite on her second album. Chris’s music would’ve grown up with him, but I don’t think he’d have become as vulgar as he has had he been able to maintain that pop stardom track
He's definitely an r&b superstar. I just think R Kelly was the last true one because he stuck to it when Usher decided to go pop. R Kelly 2010 album love letter is
that the 1 with backyard party....that was my shyt I never even checked that album out tho

I can post examples of regional Mexican artists that 99% of the coli has never heard of with videos that have more views and they are not a superstar either

I believe Backyard (my shyt
) was on the Buffet album. Love Letter is the album R Kelly was on his 60s soul shyt. It had When A Womans Love and Radio Message on it. And the duet with K Michelle was fire. Check it out bro.

with features, not singles.
Is it his fault everyone wanted to feature him?
Ty $ before this kanye venture wasa 1500-3000 person venue headliner. Youre comparing him to the weeknd and bruno mars that can sell 100k person stadiums…

Shows how much I give a shyt about his career.
I stand corrected.
