Jon B has made some nice R&B tunes over the years, but why is he so disliked? I mean he has a great voice Has made memorable songs with Babyface(Someone To Love), What I Like About U, Are You Still Down with Tupac-so why do you think he has never really made it big?

Jon B was really popular in the 90s, but he simply fell off. He released an album not to long ago....I think about 2004 or 2005

bboy87 said:

Yeah, but I've always wondered why he fell off? I mean was he not accepted by African-American listeners? His voice is great

Um, cuz he sucks

I saw a pic of dude from like a few months back at some festival or party or something and for some reason he's now running around looking like J-sus.

He was a poor man's George Michael though he only appealed to R&B/urban fans.

Because Babyface was already boring enough, and the white Babyface was even more boring?


That's just my guess. I liked a couple of his tunes well enough. I didn't hate them, anyway.

Wow-White Babyface-unique description of him

He does have his own style though, check out "Cool Relax"-it's a great song.

I still like "Someone To Love"

Hey, don't shit on George like that.

Even on his worst day George would never be in the same sentence as Jon B.

I know, I couldn't describe it any other way. Jon can't fuck with George, you're way fucking right about that shit.

I'm gonna go with Raze's description that he was a whiter Babyface, better yet a poor white man's Babyface, lol.

nurseV said:

I know you're being facetious, but when there isn't anything unique about the artist or his music, why bother coming up with unique ways to describe him?

nurseV said:

Raze said:

No-you misunderstood me. I was saying that your description of him was very unique. I had never thought about him like that.

The girls still think he's gorgeous though.

nurseV said:

oh I thought everyone thought of him like that

Timmy84 said:

Too late. I just emailed George. As long as there aren't any parks or public mens' rooms by where you live, he's coming for you.

He's like Prince's acts. People messed with him because they loved Face and once they got tired of that whiney crap and Face started making crappy BET shows, Jon was over.

If he really had something or was about it...he could have got with any of the little camps that popped up when Face went under or just kept going on his own

Dance said:

He ain't gotta worry, I don't live near a convenient store, least the one he'd be used to. But other than that, I agree with you there.

Timmy84 said:

Damn Timmy, you got George Michael AND Chris Stokes looking for you?

Today ain't yo day, playa!

I don't dislike him at all. I still love "Someone to Love" and "Pretty Girl." I thought his second album, Cool Relax, was a little overrated back in the day, but it's not bad at all. He has a hits album that is pretty good at collecting his best stuff.
