Jon B Appreciation thread

Just wanted to say that Jon B. has always been underrated. He has a beautiful voice and I love his music. That's "What I Like About Him." Anybody else like Jon's music? music

I have to say I always assumed he was awful, like New Kids or some other white poser boy band thing.

But he's not that bad, from what I've heard, which admittedly is not that much.

If you can get past his poseur appearance, his music ain't bad. I don't pay much attention to him, but I'd judge by looking at him that he was the inspiration for Ali G. lol

That's just it. I assumed he was completely laughable with his name & look.

eek Forget his look-what about his music? I've always thought that his R&B music was hated upon because he is white-which if that is true is sad.

The only thing I really heard of his was a single from about '99--something like "It's all about you"? It got a lot of play in Oakland on KMEL.

That's the song I thought was pretty decent and it surprised me.

I like a lot of his songs, though he's mainly a studio product with a decent voice. My faves are "Don't Say," "They Don't Know" and "Lately."

I like Jon, particularly his first two singles, "Someone to Love" (with Babyface) and "Pretty Girl."

He's never promoted well. No one knew about his last album. People thought he disappeared.

He's very talented. He writes and produces his own music. He's not a commerical act at all.

Jon is the shit! I never miss a show here in L.A.... I have all 4 albums and although his range is only so-so, his writing and instrumentation skills are awesome... LOVE They Don't Know, Tu Amor, Don't Talk, Do It All Again, and Before Its Gone the most... Hope he keeps on keepin on.
