What cause the disappearance of black female singing superstars?

You gotta go to the source to find the answer. Music and art class are being eliminated in inner city schools. So we will never hear that next rising star because the talent was never cultivated.

the best R&B talent was cultivated in the black church.

You can't learn syncopation in no fukking art class. You got to go back to the essence, and for black folk that's the church.

This makes no sense tho. U can get on with just a laptop and a mic. Why do we need music class?

No. You need a music instructor who has knowledge and expertise on the basic fundamental of music. This isn't something you can get on Google or a YouTube video. The best singers have all took music/vocal classes to cultivate their talent.

Once again, like I explained earlier the black church in the past was a great place for African American men and women to learn, understand, and cultivate their singing talent. But in today's music landscape that great church singer you know so well in the choir isn't doing R&B music. They are doing gospel music. My theory on why black R&B singing superstar are no where to be found in 2017 is a sound one. By eliminating music class from the school curriculum you strip away the only access these kids have at discovery.
Most parents don't have the cash to send their child to a renowned music school. So music class in the public schools for most kids was their first introduction to the art.

The source is the church.... all the GOAT singers come from there

All the 90s divas came after Reaganomics...

Yeah, and all of the house/ producers and DJs from Chicago and Detroit came from the black church too in the mid to late 80s/early 90s.

Yo...mainstream music is just getting more homogenized and unauthentic/plastic/stale.

Adele is arguably the greatest singer to ever live. Her voice is otherworldly good.

1. Not giving it up
2. Drugs
3. Saying the wrong thing to artists that are greater than you (i.e Keri Hilson/Beyonce)
4.

It really does have everything to do with Beyoncé...I remember Amerie was coming up, "beehive" sabotaged her, same with Ciara, Ashanti etc...anyone who challenged her made her fans go extra hard on discrediting and trolling them every chance they got..kinda like how 50 did Ja rule except her fanbase did the work

OK my theory is that the female music industry is controlled by the Teen/Pedo market and Gay/Queer market.

Black/White whatever, if you can't attract this fanbase, your career is minimal. They dictate a females career.

Take any big Female superstar and put them to the test. Thoughts?

Easy answer: Most of them can't sing worth a damn and you can only get but so far on looks alone.



I just go back to the 70's when females could actually SANG without the use of studio voodoo......

Radio popularity = records sold
Same argument applies for rap music, and a lot of fairly defunct genres like nu-metal.
If you want more Jazmine Sullivan, Lalah Hathaway, Brandy, Jill Scott, etc. you're going to need a wider audience to purchase or stream their music and go their concerts.

There's a lot of truth to the bolded.

Femimism, Beyonce blackballing other R&B artists like Keri Hilson, the rise of Rihanna, and social media.

This is so shockingly wrong I'm trying to figure out how you even connected any of these
