>you didn't even call it R&B or soul. Isn't that what this >thread is about. Why are we using pop examples? And sure R&B >artists can make pop, fun pop to I don't mind. But making >'good pop' is what led it down this road you're complaining >about.
it's a pretty big umbrella that covers a lot of sounds and styles. some of the best R&B songs ever get called pop simply because they had mass appeal.
>Good pop in 2012 in oontz. So if I say R&B singer X >has a great oontz song, is that a good thing for R&B, even if >you don't like oontz?
if it's a good or great song then yeah... but see I'm not as opposed to the "oontz" sound as some... most of the ones I heard (by R&B artists) just aren't very well written songs.
> See this is the logical problem I have >with raising this song in the context of this discussion, my >opinion of the song aside.
No it's all about your opinion... you came though screaming about how the song SUCKS ASS. Not that you just didn't care for it or it wasn't your thing... but you ripped the shit out of the song itself. I'm all for people having their own opinions but honestly if that's an example of a god awful song to you then I flat out have to question your ear for this kind of music.
