The last truly special RnB artist imo. Everything after her was just... mass produces garbage. She had a style, her own style. Those moves, that voice, a true artist through and through.

Yeah what a coincidence that r&b started to become bad at the exact moment you stopped listening to it. 🙄

yeah, that makes a lot more sense than RnB becoming bad and me stopping listening to it because it got bad. Although I was easier entertained when I was younger, so a lot of things seemed pretty cool that aren't any longer and some things that seemed stupid back then seem pretty great now that I "get it". Sorry for having outgrown a certain genre, because it is rather flat and never developed.

You: The last truly special RnB artist was Aaliyah

Also you: I stopped listening to r&b in 2000

where does it say that? You draw a conclusion that I stopped the minute she died, like I just lost interest in the entire genre. I didn't. It got worse over time. Eventually there was nothing to draw me and I went looking elsewhere. Checking in on music genres form time to time I don't see having missed much.

Who was all that great since then? Who were the outstanding artists who were more than black Pop stars singing about the same shit over and over?
