Christopher Williams = The bootlegged light skin version of Johnny Gill.

Al B Sure = Can't sing, but he has some nice beats and his first album is a classic nonetheless.

I'll go with Al B. Sure, because of his classic debut and he appeared on "The Secret Garden". lol.

yeahthat If you could take Chris' vocals and put them on Al's songs you'd have the perfect late-80's r n b Frankenstein. Cause Al was definately vocally challenged ( Oprah Show, anyone?) At the end of the day though, I'd have to go with Al B. Because the debut is damn near flawless. I liked parts of Private Times and the Whole Nine too. Christopher Williams best moment is 'Promises'

This is what you want...This is what you get.

I don't know. I'd have to see both their dicks before I make a decision as to which one I like better.

They both sucked. But at least Al B. landed himself in some halfway decent projects. His first two albums were pretty entertaining, and he'll always be able to brag about being featured in Quincy Jones' Secret Garden collab -- even if he did have to lipsynch in performances of the song while his fellow vocalists would blow a house down with their live vocals.

Greedy as you are, you'd hog them both wink

Neither shrug both couldn't sing worth a damn, but looking at them, I could see how somebody would cash BIG money from the horny audience just by putting those two in an album cover.

I'd have to go with Al B's production with CW's vocals. If I could cheat. Albert's production was underrated in my opinion due to Teddy's colossal success at the time. Teddy ruled the late 80's and early 90's with his sound. Al & Mr. "Kyle West Break It Down" had a cool sound.

Beige Bros. lol

Wait a minute were they ever out at the same time? I know Al B. Sure first joint came out in '88. When did Sexy Vs. come out? Maybe CW was out around that time, early 90's.

CW's first album, Adventures in Paradise, came out in 1989. Al B. had a slight leg up on him as far as who released an album first. I just read that these two are actually cousins. Any truth to that?

Wow. I didn't realize his first one came out in '89. Is his song, "Dreamin" off of Adventures in Paradise? I've always associated that song with the New Jack City Soundtrack. Never heard of them being related.

Nope, "Dreamin'" came from the NJC soundtrack. I do think his first album had one or two singles, though.

Christopher has a much better voice, but Al's material is very good compared to Christopher. Al gave us lots of classics.

I actually prefer Nite and Day to I'm Dreamin'. The N&D video, alone, is noteworthy for the its unintentional hilariousness. Half the time Al B. is singing like he smells something funky, or giving the come hither face. CW is way prettier, though.

Didn't he smack Halle Berry in the ear??? Now she's deaf in one ear.

?Actor Wesley Snipes has been exposed as the abusive ex-lover of Halle
Berry, who struck the actress so hard, she lost most of the hearing in
her right ear. R&B singer Christopher Williams - who dated Berry in
the early 1990s - has made the startling accusation against the Blade
star after getting upset with the number of people who assume it was
him who dealt the screen beauty the damaging blow. He tells
entertainment news website Eurweb, "The stuff they wrote about (me)
and Halle was totally false. They said something like I busted her
eardrum, and I'm tired of it. I never said it (before) but I'm so
tired of people thinking I'm the guy (who did it). Wesley Snipes
busted her eardrum, not me."

beatdeadhorse Here we go again.... Halle has never stated or confirmed which one, if it was Wesley or CW at all, as the ex-lover who caused her to be partially deaf in ear.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

I don't think anyone is going to deny the fact that Chris was (is) a better vocalists than Al.
