John legend and usher proved that all you need to do is cheat on your girl and sing songs about how it meant nothing

Then the awards come out

John Legend proved if you make a truly incredible album and have the right people backing you, you can get recognized and win a grammy.

now if only somebody would make a truly incredible album and be recognized for it...

How is John Legends Album Not A Incredible Album

I guess to the casual r&b fan it could be incredible, but to me its a very bland and unentertaining record. If you want incredible, you gotta dig a lot deeper than non singin ass john legend. but hey, do your thing.

I dont know about "incredible," thats a pretty strong word, but a few that are definitely better than John legend are Goapele, Raheem DeVaughn, D'Angelo, Maxwell, Erykah, Anthony Hamilton, Raph Saadiq, Prince, Adriana Evans, Leela James, etc.

yeah all those you mentioned are definitely good, prob all better than john legend, for the exception of goapele in my opinion, shes good, but i think john legend is better. but yeah they all dont really have material out these days. prince got a new joint, but erykah been quiet for a minute, and also d angelo. d angelo is prob my favorite artist of that genre, but hes definitely been slackin on his releases. maxwell been quiet too. anthony hamilton got joints out hes good. raheem devaughn is also one of my favorites. i guess i classify john legend in the same category as all those peeps though.

^Anthony Hamilton could possibly be the best soul singer to come around in like 10 years or so. and Anthony´s vocal range>>>>>>>>>>>John Legend´s life. but i still like John Legend coz he´s pretty talented but his voice aint really soulful and he keeps on singing about the same ol' shit.

true but an album that strictly follows the bullshit RnB blueprint and that´s boring.
