Results from Saturday’s Show…
Hey everybody, another great show in the can good response and honest answers always make for a good show, the question we asked you was “Has R&B Music Lost it’s Soul”? ,also we wanted to know what High School you went to and when did you graduate! Here is a sample of what was said….
Wilma in Seattle (Marshall Town Iowa High c/o 81) says…….Who are the R&B singers of today? Very few artist there that are actually any good.
Sandy in Seattle says: She is old school, she believes you can’t replace artis such as Luther V. and Barry White, likes Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, and older Jodeci.
Lisa in Seattle (Rainier Beach c/o 91) says: It has lost it’s soul Erkyah Badu, Jill Scott are holding it down BET & MTV don’t really promote soul artist anymore, they need to do more to promote singers, also likes Robin Thicke.
Marcell (Garfield High School c/o 97) says: It has!! Musical roots have been washed out.
Frank P. says: No R&B hasn’t lost it’s soul, it just has many flavors, it’s the big record labels that don’t do anything to promote R&B artist, if they did a better job promoting then you’d see more soul artist, Soul music will always have flavor!!
Brianna (Garfield c/o 82) says: R&B ain’t been the same since the 80′s, today’s artist just don’t have the same love for creating music as Marvin Gaye and the Luther Vandross.
Devon (Texas Christian High c/o 87) says: Soul music has been dead for about 20 years now, today’s artist don’t know if they want to rap or sing, look at Joe he started off as pure R&B and now he thinks he’s hip-hop.
Jesse B. (Ballard High c/o of 83) says:Go Beavers! R&B music of today just ain’t the same as it was when I was growing up, it had more passion and didn’t have rappers rapping in the middle of the songs, what’s that all about?!! Thank you for playing Raphael Saadiq.
Well as you can see so many different answers, my personal opinion is that R&B has slipped, but it will never lose it’s soul, because there are artist out there who are fans of older music and they are taking the time to study and learn from the greats, as long as we have artist like that, then R&B music will always thrive!!
