Mar 20, 2020Hes p good but the weeknd is a degenarate just like me, so I gravitate towards his music as far as like modern r&b goes.

GooHis sound and image are deeply rooted in the 80's/90's/00's. Even Usher and Maxwell ain't as popular as they used to be, fam
Plus he hasn't been doing features for rappers like he used to
Someone like Miguel would've been wayyy bigger in any other decade
Bro did you just bring up Usher and Maxwell in 2020?
Miguel could be huge this decade, if he had an image. Its not about the music 100%.
Your intentions are pure, but you're not looking at it from a marketing/branding perspective.

STUFFWhen TGT were not popular in 2013, I knew R&B had changed into something else. There was no chance for Miguel being popular.
Facts

cole breezyChris Brown had one of the most popular albums and songs of 2019. But he also crosses over to Pop and Rap a lot so I can see why people may not see him as such
Another artist who is also better than and more talented than both Frank and The Weeknd

One of the main reasons Usher was as huge as he was, was because he had a scandal to push his best album.
So not only did he have an amazing album, people love drama so they tuned in.
Mar 20, 2020years ago lot of ppl considered him better than frank and weakene

Idk what you want him to do lmao
He's a normal dude like Drake who takes gym selfies and focuses on music while keeping his private life on the low
Only difference from other artists is that he doesn't make meme videos or beef with other artists for attention, I guess

Jhene is really connected with the hip hop world tho
She had feats like Big Sean and Future on her album
And she makes the whispery type of alt R&B that's currently popular
Jhene doesn't make r&b in my opinion. People really don't talk about H.E.R enough. She really is the current face of female R&B, maybe along with Kehlani
- Mar 20, 2020
Miguel only has one really good album and that's kaleidoscope. Everything else is mid to mediocre. Kaleidoscope is the best r&b album of the 10s tho. And yes its better than Frank's discography lmao idk why Americanas lame ass speaking on r&b
Mar 20, 2020STUFFHis "sound" is impeccable. He made R&B for a very specific and troubled era.
!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeKKPjG_C64F***ing love this song. One of my fav cuts and I was sad he didn’t perform it live.

I'm just telling you what hes missing, you can keep bringing up his talent, but in all honest thats irrelevant when it comes to this topic.

That album is so good, I don't know where to begin. Didn't win the category Grammy though. Never forget.
But funnily, Miguel won best song that same year for Adorn.

Usher had big albums before confessions. Miguel's music doesnt match where you expect him to be.

Working on bringing that "rockstar" image to connect with people.
People want a rockstar in R&B, look at what the Weeknd is doing, he's about to fill that lane that Miguel wanted for so long bcause of how he's portraying himself.
Miguel needs to get with his team (not his label) and figure out what they need to do collectively to get content that connects with the niche that he wants to fill. Thats all.

H.E.R. is another case of not really having an image.
Or in her case, taking that "mysterious" image a little too far.

The weeknd doesnt cater to r&b fans at all. Hes a pop star. He doesn't do r&b like that anymore

Doesnt matter, the average fan still link Weeknd with R&B because of how he came in the game
Everyone not on KTT lvls with this, so thats really irrelevant.

another way to look at it is that these R&B acts have enough talent to get by without playing some "character". Usher, Chris Brown, H.E.R, Ella Mai, Miguel are all examples of that
The Weeknd, Frank, Lizzo, etc use gimmicks to fill the gaps that their music leaves IMO, and it clearly works

I thought it was great because the deep cuts wound up being much better than the singles, which were great as it is.
The musical throwbacks to the R&B of the ’90s and early noughties were great. Mai and Mustard have a fruitful partnership, and I look forward to her next installment.
