Nah. I understand what you mean but Ledisi is not a mainstream widely known artist. Trust me,I know who she is and her ability as a singer. But a thread on her wouldn't do numbers. I have to take that into consideration. I know a large majority of the voters would be unfamiliar with her work. You saw how that Lisa Fischer thread went. Didn't even make it passed 1 page.

People are familiar with Chante. She has had a few hit songs and duets

Then we need to limit this thread to the real R&b heads. I'd rather a 2-3 page thread with real R&b discussion than a 50 page thread full of commercialized music.

Is this only focusing on the R&B sound then? Well if Adele and Ariana are on here, then I guess not. So I'm going to suggest Celine Dion. I haven't read all the other pages, so someone may have already recommended her. And I know she has a lot of carbon copy traits. Still, she is a highly accomplished artist who is often paired with Whitney and Mariah. So I'd be interesting to see if the brehs/brehettes also consider her elite.

I've been debating on whether or not I'd add Celine on here. Ariana and Adele can pass because they sing/appropriate black culture like R&B. Therefore, more people would be familiar with their work. As for Celine, I know who she is and I know a few of her songs but I never actively listened to her like that because she wasn't played on black radio or on black tv stations while I was growing up.

So I'm not sure if the coli would be too familiar with her work thus leading to a failed thread and a tag from the breh @YaThreadFloppedB!

I feel you. Makes a lot of sense. That's why I almost didn't recommend her, but ultimately figured that I might as well. There prolly would be an uprising. lol
