Why is Joe so irrelevant? I didn't know who he was till just a month ago 
I like this song | |

Because he's a poor man's R. Kelly.
But not knowing who he was until a month ago? "All the Things (Your Man Won't Do)," "I Wanna Know," and "Stutter" were all huge."Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Who said he was irrelevant? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

but Oh I didn't know he had hits I just know I hear his music all the time at CVS! I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. You know what's weird is that Joe said that R.Kelly sabotaged his career! I think he needs to just get over his lackluster career | |

You know what's weird is that Joe said that R.Kelly sabotaged his career! I think he needs to just get over his lackluster career He's had 5 top-10 hits and of those only his debut single failed to make the top 5: 1993 "I'm in Luv" #10 1996 "All the Things (Your Man Won't Do)" #2 [#11 Pop] 1997 "Don't Wanna Be a Player" #5 2000 "I Wanna Know" #2 [#3 Pop] 2000 "Stutter" #1 [#1 Pop] He has 5 other top-20 hits. He was also a guest on Mariah Carey's "Thank God I Found You" (which topped both charts) and Big Pun's "Still Not a Player," which reached #3.

he has a great live vocal though, its funny i was revisiting some of his tracks the past week, he was on the b.mcknight show playing guitar and singing his voice is in top form still. | |

I don't find Joe irrelevant at all. It just goes to show that, for the most part, massive talent will not always get its proper due. Been that way for a long time. Most of it is how hard are you willing to hustle too.

Two of my favorite Joe songs are duets: Chico DeBarge & Joe - No Guarantee (Remix) "Faded Pictures" with Case is my all-time favorite, but it's not on YouTube. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I like his voice WAY better than Rrrrrruhhhh's. Yeah, I'd say he's a better singer. That would be his only advantage, though. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Joe is only irrelevant to people that don't listen to r&b music. To a listener, he's only one or 2 hit wonder.
I don't consider myself a fan of his, but he has done some good songs. I liked the music and concept for "If I was ur man", but the bad grammar bothered the hell out of me. It could have just as easily been "If I Were Your Man". **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

He's irrelevant to me because I'm just not a big fan. I like enough of his songs, though, but there's nothing special about him at all to me.

Like when Alicia Keys changed "If I Were Your Woman" to "If I Was Your Woman"!  "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Why would you think his voice wouldn't be good anymore? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

he has a new album out called signature. its okay IMO.
joe to me is cool. some of his stuff sounds "r. kelly rip-off-ish"/immature, but his stuff (1993-2003 or so) is mostly good, then he kinda fell off for a while after that, but he redeemed himself a bit with his new signature album. how exactly is he irrevlevant? | |

"More & More" is written by R Kelly & was supposed to be on his heavily bootlegged album "Love Land" | |

Joe is good, but these days his songs are sounding more and more repetive. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

I agree. In fact when he first came out (or around that time) I felt like he was singing the same song over & over but they'd be different releases I do like his voice I just think he has some boring songs which makes him boring which makes people sleep on him. Plus he comes off corny in his videos, that never helps.  I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Joe seems to come off as this sex machine/loverman in his music, but his videos don't show that, nor do his performances. He comes across as the guy in high school that wants to be cool, but just isn't. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
