Is Real R&B Still Around?

what? dude what do you call Keith Sweat, New Edition, Blackstreet, Toni Tony Tone, Jagged Edge, R. Kelly, and the list goes on?
i dunno bout you but when i think of pop i picture britney spears, the backstreet boys, and n'sync.
when i think about soul i picture sade, marvin gaye, and al green
the other stuff is straight up R&B

Jagged Edge and R.Kelly are a mix of both if you ask me so I guess I can agree with you in a way if you were following what I said.

feel u on this. i even know people who loved Linkin Park fore that song ("One Step Closer" i think) got airplay, but ever since it did they been too commercial releasin singles off the same album lol. Same for 50, i know peeps who luved him when "Guess Who's Back" dropped and are now talkin bout how he got no talent
as for the original subject i pretty much agree with

Soulful artists have something special in their voices which sets them apart from rnb artists and gives them much more replay value.

im one of those 50 haters you described...now i never heard guess whos back but i used to bump the in too deep soundtrack all the time just for the 2 50 songs...i know he's got talent i just feel like he's not using it all. i've heard some shit he released before grodt and its not bad at all. he isnt using his talent which is why i dont like him.
as far as linkin park goes does it really matter if they release singles from the same album? if they are good songs it really shouldnt matter what album it comes from. and its not like they were all from the same album at the same time...they had a few other songs they released from other peoples albums (like the X-Ecutioners "It's Goin Down")
my point is though if the entire album is good enough to get millions of people psyched about the album then i say sure release em all as singles! just dont play the hell out of them...as far as playing the hell out of them though thats not linkin parks decision...people say oh well they get played so much on the radio now they sold out...thats stupid. they have no control over that.
