By the 90s, Freddie was pretty much done (especially when he went to RCA) and Luther's career got bigger. Luther got bigger (i.e., he crossed over), but I don't think he got better by any stretch. I'd say he actually started declining before Freddie, because 1991's Power of Love was the beginning of the end IMO. I like a few songs after that, but overall it wasn't up to his usual standards. I can totally appreciate that some people don't like Freddie, but anyone who says he can't sing is deaf and/or crazy!  Oh he can sing which was the problem, his producers kept feeding him AC crap. I feel the '80s screwed both him and Alex in a way (not that way! LOL). | |

I prefer Alex. Alex has that raw talent. Freddie was too polished and boring for me. |

For a while, Orpheus productions had a lot of hits with Billy Ocean, Melba Moore, Lilo Thomas, Mel'isa Morgan and others. By the mid 90s, people were sick of that same formula (not to mention Freddie's flaming ass). I saw Freddie in concert when his Make Love Easy album was out. He gave a really good show, but 2 hours of him in sequence and grinding on girls while winking at guys got old real fast. Surely wanking at guys considering the rumours about him? | |

For me, Luther started to "lose it" in 1986 with the "Give Me The Reason" album. He really wanted to be a pop artist at that time. I find it intersting that it didn't happen until his first GH package and "Here and Now" achieved the crossover success he wanted. As for Freddie, when he decided to leave Capitol, that was the end for him. His RCA album was a mess. "Make Love Easy" was better than the other album (that I can't recall the title of right now. It had "Rub Up Against You" on it). **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
