In what fukking world is ginuwine better then Usher?

He was a better singer and dancer.. And was an influence on all the young RnB cats that came after him wit they solo shyt. Including usher..

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

Naw you right usher was def bigger as far as sales..,. I feel due to his age & Ginuwine had more adult oriented type records. Moreso was speaking from a personal view & what I heard most people listening too

You off on Ginuwine numbers tho. Both them albums went double

I've previously heard double also. Probably shipped double,sold those I agree usher connected more with the kids than G

Usher would vocally destroy him

Nah. Not at all. Lol u buggin actin like Usher is some vocal powerhouse.

 

[Bankroll]

Ginuwine is a good singer I give him that, but he was just the one of the many "good singers" that were in the game back when R&B was in it's prime. I can bring up a bunch of underrated R&B singers, e.g. TQ, Ali, and even Mario (who is a one-hit wonder).

I'm a big Ginuwine fan and i sill have this somewhere on VHS

[Craig Mack]

after his parents died he made top 5 one of the greatest r&b albums I ever heard

The Life ? If so I gotta relisten. Only his 1st 2 albums stay on rotation & a couple later singles

 

[badtguy]

Ginuwine was huge but he was to old unlike usher and new jack swing Era was dying by the time he came, usher was always big but I can't imagine Ginuwine doing the A town stomp.

 

[Bankroll]

@Big Boss Nah, even though I respect your opinion, I would have to disagree as R.Kelly did become big at point in the late 1990's. He has a dozen "smash hits" under his belt that are bumped even to this day (I know people).

 

[FrankieLymon757]

he was a Michael Jackson impersonator before fame...he ruled the later nineties along wit a few others....no Unsung needed yet..

 

[Booker T Garvey]

This is a very good and valid question to me, both G and uRsher were all the ladies talked about in high school

But that's true, he just never crossed over like that, and you can't blame it on the music/beats because Aaliyah was HUUUUGE with the same team

A lot of artists get in their own way and I'd say G was one of them..

Side note: 100% ginuwine is a classic, but that's the worst album cover of all time, shyt looks like a 1980's Sears catalog model
