and it's hard to compare.they have two different sounds, from different backgrounds, and different personalities. <BR>I wouldn't underestimate Maxwell though. I remember his first video...for til the cops come knockin..a split in the bed *IS* a force to be reckoned with...<BR>he also puts on a great show (haven't seen D'Angelo in concert)...but I remember when Maxwell was in atl at the Fox Theatre and i was like, 16, he put on a good two hours or so concert when he only had one album out. sang wonderfully. was very entertaining. had all the men in the house VERY jealous. All these women dressed up and not payin attention to their poor lil selves. and he can dance, too! <P>"I am the FLY"- Car Wash<P>"a child is born/ with a heart of gold/ way of the world/ makes his heart turn cold" Earth, Wind, and Fire "That's the Way of the World" Thanks qtpi6:)
