the best R&B song hands down
« on: June 21, 2005, 03:21:18 AM »
Alicia Keys - You Don't Know My Name

this song has it all from start to finish. as far as new era R&B goes, nothing came close to this imo (not counting the aretha franklins and marvin gayes), meaining the last 15 years.

I agree it's a great song, but it doesn't top some of the 90's classics:

Hit me off - New Edition
Blackstreet - No Diggity
Ginuwine - Pony
Missy Elliot - Rain
Buckshot Lefonque - Another Day
Wyclef - Gone Till November Remix (with R. Kelly and Canibus)
Destiny's Child - No, no, no Remix (with Wyclef)
Something for the People - My love is the shh...
Nate Dogg - One more Day
Jodeci - Come up to my room

If you say just soul than I can agree with you, but you said R&B and than there is just too many shit that can't be overlooked the last 15 years.

Alicia Keys is a great artist and she got something that i can´t really put my finger on that no other RnB artist has. John Legend and Alicia Keys brought some real talent back to the table. they aint gonna run around and strip and try to live off their sex appeal like so many other RnB artists(Beyonce,Tyrese,Usher etc etc).

this is a good song, but it's not even close being the best R&B song of the last 15 years

what I like about Alicia is that she stays true to herself and is very soulful, while other artists are more prone to follow trends or let the music overpower their vocals.  I think "You Don't know My Name" is a really nice track, but "Fallin" is still her most classic record though.

Musiq Soulchild's Soulstar album was highly slept on, Alicia Keys is tight as fuck tho but I think "Used to Love U"  rivals "You Dont Kow My name".  Get Lifted and Diary are two of the greatest RnB Albums of the last 10 years imo Get Lifted>>>Diary of Alicia Keys

seriously... if you think this is the best R&B song of the last 15 years you don't know what to listen to

there is a lot of good R&B that's not mainstream

yea can´t forget about John Legend. can´t forget about Anthony Hamilton neither coz he´s also another "true" RnB/soul singer.

R. Kelly has had a few really good hits

If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time   is a really good, emotional heartfelt song i.m.o.
