I just hated the way he seemed to be trying to hard to flaunt his "blackness". He was always the "cool white boy" surrounded by all black girls in his videos. It just seemed like overkill to me. Okay, we know you dig black music - you don't have to hit us over the head with it.


That's the worst. Timberflake was guilty of that. Supposedly, breathing all over some black chick in your vids makes you more credible as an "R&B singer"?

If he owned up to the Nipplegate mess and hadn't apologize, it would've made him authentic in the eyes of most folks. But no, he's a buster.

I dont think hes flaunting anything, or trying to be "black", just by having black girls in his video. I mean his wife is black for christs sake. I think hes just being himself, it just seems a lot more natural unlike some ppl like JT. Hes talented, but tries a little too hard for me.




I must agree..Jon B dont seem like he "trying" to hang with the blacks...it does seem natural and not forced like Justin Timberlake.....but see...the thing is this...its like Teena Marie..a lotta people gave her flack for making the music that she made....but Teena Marie has SOUL...Jon B doesnt IMO but he doesnt seem like he trying to fit in with the blacks..it does seem natural for him but he just isnt soul ful.....whereas Lady T IS!

hmmm It interesting that you make the comparision between him and Tina Marie. I would say they are of the same prototype. They both are white but they live and breath Black music and share an appreciation for soul music.

As for JT, he has proved that he is full of shit and a racist bastard. When the Janet Boobgate scandal went down, he re-grounded his feet in his whiteness with the quickenss by snubbing Janet. Straight up, he is a fraud and Jon B is the real deal w/out any gimics and I can respect him for that.

That being said, my cousins loved the s**t out of his ass. He and Nick Lachey are on their "white boys I would f**k" list.


nod I have heard so buzz from some of my friends about Jon. Some considered him to be a fine cool ass white boy that shagable.

Just the fact that he wrote/produced "Infatuation" gives him a newly-issued JesseDezz pass to soulville. That's one of my favorite songs - in fact, I'm STILL waiting for the used Laurnea CD I ordered from Amazon.com that contained that wonderful song...

I have to give him props for that one cool

Someone posted earlier that he's married to a sista. Go 'head Jon B!

Remy Shand's still my fave, though...

One of the coolest things (maybe the coolest thing) about music is how, at its best, it knows no color. It can influence/move anyone, regardless of race/social status, etc.

Enough preaching - time to check out the "Kevin Hill" repeat...

Oh my goodness!!!

I remember back when "They don't know" came out in '98 every black chic I knew would jump over counters tripping over guys that favored Jon B. rolleyes I remember when I was at a grocery shopping and this Jon B look alike walked in these girls were literally jumping over counters to get a look at this guy. I remember my hoochie cousin saying that she wanted to date a guy that looked like Jon B.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. I just hate girls being so spring over a guy like that. Well, if it was a Johnny Depp lookalike that would have been a different story.

Infatuation the song he wrote and produced 7 years ago for Laurnea that everyone swore Prince wrote and produced
[Edited 10/3/04 16:04pm]

Damn. I didn't know he wrote Infactuation. I see Jon B must be a P fan. I agree with the others about Jon B. He not only earned a Ghetto Pass but he also recieve a Soul Pass also.

Okay, let's clear up some misinformation right quick. Laurnea's single "Infatuation" was NOT produced by Johnathan Buck (Jon B), but by Jon-John Robinson. They are not the same person, but they are both with Yab Yum.

We had a Jon B lookalike at work around this time, unfortunately a co-worker of mine quickly hooked up with him. He was a dog. But all the girls went ga ga over him.
