In the great scheme of things is there a single current R&B male who you would rate better musically or live than P?.

I was watching a re-run of the MTV USA awards and watching these so called new R&B stars. Seriously, what a bunch of robots, same sounds, similar voices, disposable identikit music, mostly miming, same dance moves and hardly anyone playing an instrument!. I think it's damn depressing that the country that brought us Motown is now reduced to this. Now compare MR. P, there really isn't a single R&B artist who I can rate higher or wish that P would follow their lead. P totally rules that scene.

actually that's a great point, his voice is so unique. Why do most R&B singers now sound so alike?.

A close second would be Mint Condition or Frank McComb. After that? No.

It's all what's in style now....cookie cutter...

blahblah

I can go on and on but that's what I think why almost all R&B males sound alike.

Prince is not just R&B though, he's all types of music...

No one can touch that status

God has broke the mold when he made this one! wink

would you rate Kanye West?. I think out of all the Hip Hoppers he uses samples very well, creates strong melodies etc.

Personally, I would not pay money 2 see a rap act. Kanye is alright but live? NOT my money.

I'm not sure. Frank changes band members quite a bit.
