John Legend IMO, ranks higher than a lot of these R&B artists that get put on a pedestal. He's versatile enough to create music that has soul, but can also make a song with crossover appeal. While everybody was waiting on Usher to return to R&B for what seems like every album now and Chris Brown to drop an album that separates him from the rest, John Legend has been putting in work. Him having a #1 with "All of Me" should be applauded as it's basically just him and the piano.

john legend is wack, dude had potential but never delivered a CD that you could really LOVE front to back. he always had a a handful of GREAT songs, but never a GREAT album. he's easily on my unlistenable list and extremely boring. alicia keys got there too...don't know how she went from songs in a minor and diary to where she's at now. swizz really ruined her
He's been one of the biggest disappointments for me in r and b- I personally think another again is a classic, perfect follow-up to his debut (avoided the sophomore slump that plagues so many artists). He sounds excellent live (one of the best I've ever heard and that says a lot esp since he does falsetto) too but his material is hella repetitive and gives me as much life as wet paint.
Edit: in response to your original q, he gets props for writing his own material and being good at the chops but he pales in comparison to Maxwell and Joe and them. I think he messed up signing with GOOD, they don't seem like they back r&b like they could have.
^^^to Dora, Alicia never had a chance to me, she always had too much of a nineties feel to her music, i don't need her to be sexy or whatever but she doesn't have the vocals to be great at the slow ballads and tender joints she does all the time.
