My nikka usher a better singer than r Kelly.

Joe is a better singer than r Kelly

Brian McKnight is a better singer than r Kelly.

Several other singers that are better, but you get the point.

R Kelly is a great singer, but I wouldn't call him the goat.

Usher is not a better singer in any fashion. His voice doesn't have the power and range of R. Kelly. He lacks versatility vocally

Joe has a better VOICE overall in terms of tone. It's smoother than R. Kelly's voice. But to say he's a better SINGER is a stretch.

McKnight, yeah probably a better singer than almost anyone in R&B ever.

There's a difference is being a great singer, and having a great voice. The two don't necessarily go hand in hand.


For me, the GOAT R&B artists in the past 30 years is

R. Kelly #1
Babyface #2

Those dudes have each been around for going on 30 years.

I can't deny it. I don't know anyone who can belt out songs like that for fukking 2 hours. Its insanity

And he doesn't even touch the album cuts

that's that old school ish.

R. Kelly started out singing on the street.

He could lip-sync like many other ppl at this point. He's earned his rep as a great singer. But he's not cut from that new era stuff.

Dudes like him Brian McKnight still sing everything live like the older artists do.

The only thing r Kelly has usher on is that his voice is stronger outside of that usher is a better vocalist.

Usher has an A1 falsetto & the smoothness of his runs & rifts would have you thinking he was using autotune. More range as a vocalist.

Joe is better than r Kelly on all fronts as a vocalists. He's basically a smoother version of r kelly vocally.

GOAT R&B singer since the 90's.
Cause he's not hanging with Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Teddy Pendergrass, David Ruffin and those from the 70's.

Let's also add to this that R. Kelly singlehandedly revived the careers of Ronald & ernie Isley, as well as charlie Wilson.

Gave Ron a 20 yr career extension and Charlie Wilson is working on 10 yrs.
