The fact that the standard for what a “singer” is has lowered from this to piss water vocalists like PartyNextDoor hurts my soul.
20-year old Gerald LeVert was a vocal monster....where is the talent like this nowadays?

Its no one's fault but consumers of music
In the internet age, its easier to put your music out for the rest of the world to hear
Most people dont care for this kind of music
They want to be "turnt" all day
Black people gave up on their sound for microwave music

On topic, Gerald levert is a goat candidate RIP
He was GOAT!
Record labels have made a concerted effort to turn R&B singers into hybrid rappers while moving the soul status to vultures like Sam Smith, Adele, Kali Uchis, Bruno, etc. Meanwhile good artist out there like Sampha and Daniel Ceasar get ignored if they don’t have a co sing
Music in general has fallen off because artists have to be photogenic. Biggie, Aretha Franklin, Ertha Kitt etc they would not have survived. Everything is image first, figure out the rest later.

I can sing as good as breh, but RnB/soul music is dead. It's all been replaced by cacs with imitation soul, because that's what sells to the major music consumers, white people.

go look at that Black Men United Video for "You Will Know". Look at that male R&B landscape then look at who is considered R&B now. 
who was the last respectable Male R&B guy, Jaheim?

So true, talent is secondary. Marketability is prime.
