lets not forget that mint conditon had like 70 damn members and the lead singers had a tacky left patch goatee and a severe gap

and lets not forget raphael saadiq had braces in his prime ....im sorry but everytime i think of the song "anniversary " i think of braces

but really, who was the better singer ? they sound a little alike

I was wondering the same thing...since when was a sextet, "70 damn members"??? smh...

stokley and raphael dont even sound alike......one bit.

I'm not personally moved by either, but if we're talking strictly vocals there's ZERO comparison -- Stokley MURDERS Raphael Saadiq.

It's odd. I've heard Stokley, and I totally recognize his talent -- always have. But something about Mint Condition's work does nothing for me. An orger recently hipped me to some work he did with a side band in Paris, though. Different feel than his usual repertoire. I'm kind of feeling it.

U serious? Stokley by a MILLION miles.

Hell yeah. If I could nail a dead on performance of "Breakin My Heart", I'd be happy with my ability as a singer at that point.

it was a joke

i always thought they had to many members

i can understand the sound-a-like , i felt that way too when i heard them both first

indeed not exact copies but there's a imo a slight similar sound in their high tones

I guess you're younger than i am and are used to 3 and 4 member groups

like TLC, SWV and Jodeci. Mint has never had more than 6 official members

although drummer Chris Dave was the unofficial 7th member for several years.

Also Mint is a real band(that actually plays instruments) not a so called boy band so you should expect them to have at least 6 members.

Sound alike? Stokley and Rapheal are both tenors and that's about the only similarity in their sounds.

My Dear

U Will Know

yeah ,pretty much

they both have that nasally tone

maybe its just me

It was difficult to even pay attention to the voice as the Mint Condition gig before the prince shows was dead boring. People were quickly moving away after a few songs to get some drinks. Very uneventful stuff.

Stokley of course!

^^ Hm, maybe it wasn't a good night, cause I've seen Mint Condition in concert many times and they've always been amazing. Great band!
