Absolutely! It's all about emotion and tone in a voice for me. Showing off is nice and impressive but when it doesn't tug the heartstrings not much remains.
Some have all the ingredients, others don't.

Agreed. Exceptional music can come in many forms, from voices big and small.

Don't need to have a big voice, look at Sade, her tone is absolutely beautiful. Very sultry and makes you want more.

Janet's tone is way more pleasant imo. She may not be a powerhouse vocalist but tone>>>>
Plus her harmonies are brilliant.

Eminem is very talented. He talks out of his ass but he is talented. JT also. But of course because they are white they became stratospheric successes. But had they been black, they would still be successful imo, albeit probably moderate. But Eminem has several all time classics to his name. And he is completely comparable to Kanye. Kanye has gone insane and he seems that he never had this much press and attention, scoring several hits in recent years with his worst music (at minimum lyrically), while praising the orange buffoon, etc. Taylor Swift had she been black she'd be singing under the bridge.

JT is indeed very talented. He can sing, he can dance, write songs, play instruments and is a great live performer. But once he starts talking (or tweeting), that's where the problem usually starts.

I would say success-wise JT is kind of the equivalent of Usher, maybe a little more successful worldwide cause his music is more Pop-oriented. The difference is, JT is able to stay relevant through some movies, connections & media appearances, etc. while Usher seems to kinda lose his touch with the younger generation, plus his decision to dive into Dance-Pop/EDM kinda hurt his loyal fanbase while JT always sticks to his usual sound (or should I say, Timbaland's) throughout his whole career except for the last album that he did.

Janet has some great albums but overall i don't find her as talented as Beyoncé.

Taylor just can't sing or dance. I've never seen a good performance by her and I doubt I ever will.

She actualy is decent when it's just her on the guitar, with a song like "eyes open". She just sings those pop songs now that don't realy fit her voice. She was never a great vocalist anyways though

Janet & Her 500M spotify streams, 250m YouTube streams are nowhere near legendary. Maybe a icon. Bye

[InFamous]

True. I'm also pretty sure she was inducted this year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for that reason.

Go on Miss Janet. Legend.

Janet was so massive to many of us, to where I couldn't compare her to a Mary J, Faith Evans, Kelly Price etc... back in the 90s of course. She was definitely overall a R&B/Urban artist, but her crossover appeal made her a "pop" artist for many of us where I grew up.

Also, she would often fuse other genre's (rock, dance, hip hop, funk etc.) with R&B, which made her sound quite different from others.

My view of course!!!

I just got blocked & called dumb on the book, because a barb just tried to argue me down that nicki Minaj had more impact in the music industry & fashion world as Rihanna & beyoncé.

Exciting to see the Christmas music slowly creep back onto the charts !!

I wonder if certain people realize how pressed and tragic they appear?

Janet was really that bitch. She deserves just as much respect as Madonna, if not more. The real queen of pop for our people. (Argue with your mama, not me.)

Janet didn't make pop music.

[Goldmoney]

Yeah agree. [MENTION=7912]Loose[/MENTION] Don't show any reaction to your ex's clearly baity replies and just take the high road and reply with something like "Hope you had a wonderful day" or what DLover wrote.

I never take the high road. When it’s time to go in, I don’t dare hold back.

Not this Love on the Brain ripoff. The lack of originality..

So Miss Cabello has actually gone and added Senorita onto her upcoming album. Well then.

I wished my ex Happy Birthday today - just because my calendar reminded me of it.

So I sent off a simple Happy Birthday. As soon as I got a reply I regretted it.

Too many assumptions like Wooow and Didn‘t expect that. What should I reply now? I thought of writing something generic like Life is full of surprises but to be honest, I don‘t feel like replying at all – could come across as rude though

You're worried about coming off as rude? Your ex is garbage and i can see why he is an ex. He should have just said thank you and left it at that. I'd write nothing back.

[aRat]

Don't reply. Or say something like "hope you are doing well. see you"
