At one point there was some balance. There were folks who were powerhouse vocalists and there were those with softer voices but with a soulful bent or those who danced. Now many of these artists don't have any of that OR stage presence.

I knew the tide had completely changed when (no shade) ppl accepted that Rihanna was a titan in music and compared her to ppl with actual talent. A girl with absolutely the least vocal ability, lazy and lackadaisical on stage but beautiful and with earworm songs. It's over when the new girls with vocal talent are diminishing that because it won't play to the audience.

All the new girls are trying to sound like jhene with that soft "I look innocent but I'm really not" voice. (I can't think of a word to describe it.)

H.e.r. can sing when she has to though.

Ultimately I blame the consumer. If you accept trash, that's what the labels are gonna give you.

Thecoli Dead Mike posters will hate because she’s asian

We want black female vocalists. There I said it.

No offense to her...but I just get sick and tired of non-black people (and some black folks) hyping up any non-black person doing their best soul singing impression.

also church singing has become a comedic tool

there is no way to maintain your cool & do it

folks are super conscious of their image now

so to be the begging crying burst a blood vessel sweating out your outfit ass type of vocalist is not the look or feel anymore

i said something similar about dancing

as much as people celebrate & respect the greats they all become punchlines

try hards die hard & effort is never seen as cool

we will have artificial intelligence to entertain us just around the corner ha

The problem is every chick sound the same , like they depressed laying on a pillow crying about their issues

There’s a few I like but even them only have 1 or 2 songs good for a album
Those are the only ones that get signed with a push. The real problem is black labels not existing to guide the new girls and men if you want to keep it real

@Dober Man put me on to this channel


And the nikkas can’t sing either
Yea there’s actually people in the comments in the vid I posted asking that account to do one focused on the men :lolbron:but it’s true. The majority of male singing I hear is coming from subpar rappers masking their limitations with autotune and other voice distortion type aids. I’ve heard more “singing” from Young Thug, Yung Bleu, Rod Wave, and Roddy Ricch than actual R&B singers, and that’s a damn shame

1:36 in and this is the vid I've been wanting to make for a long time.

One white man trick is dumbing down Black genius until it's to a level where he can compete as well.

By pumping money into lesser talents making them more "popular" than their more talented counterparts who don't have the shine, they can then compete.

When that lesser talent becomes the norm, they start pumping out their own artists who studied and appreciated the Black greats that came before them, in turn creating white genius in the eyes of the public.

see:

Benny Goodman
Elvis
The Beatles
Eric Clapton
New Kids on The Block
Backstreet Boys
Britney Spears
NSYNC/Justin Timberlake
Eminem
Justin Bieber
Mac Miller
Adele

This applies to every single aspect of life as we know it today.

Be unapologetically, uncompromisingly great at all times, and accept nothing less, Black people.
