Why the lack of discernment tho Lex? I don't think I've ever seen you criticise ANY R&B diva whether for putting out a bad record, saying something stupid or anything else. sorry if you have done and i missed it. I can understand the defensiveness based on an 'they are the underdog, better targets are everywhere else' argument because there is a basic truth at the base of that but the idea that they're all infallible and can do no pop wrong doesn't work for them any more than it works for any other type out there. i know you think this of Madonna too tho!
ok i saw your 'i didn't like PCDs at first' thing and can retract my point now - we were in agreement over them totally at first but whereas 'Buttons' was your conversion i just wrote them off i guess. i promise to listen to it again and cut NS some slack tho.
btw you are gonna like maybe even love my two half hour mixes of 95 RnB/some rap i'll put up on Friday (Nuttin Nyce!)
As with Paris it works the other way round! It's not because r&b is my favourite genre that I never criticise it and appear to think it infallible - it's because it IS infallible 99% of the time and that there are so few criticisms to be made and so few bad records that it's my favourite genre. The one r&b diva I never really felt was Ashanti but that she turned round and came up with 'Only U' so that taught me.
I mean, obv I am discerning, there is r&b which is better and r&b which is worse, but even the worse r&b is better than most other genres.
