STR8 TALK: WHICH R&B CHICKS NEED TO MAKE A COMEBACK ASAP?!

Tweet

Is R&B dead? We think so! While Trey Songz, The Dream and Usher are trying to hold it down for the fellas, where are the ladies? We’re glad that veterans like Monica and Faith Evans, Toni Braxton are taking a shot at making comebacks, but we’d like to see a few other R&B chicks from our generation step back onto the scene as well. Now it’s one thing to be the “it” girl of the moment, but it’s another when you over saturate the market like Beyonce and Rihanna are. We’re just hoping that maybe some of our favorite R&B chicks will be able to get some shine.

Here are some of the R&B dames who need to come off life support…

Mya- When Mya bursted onto the scene she let it be known that it was all about her, but lately the world has forgotten about her. Last year, Mya had an opportunity to get back in the game with help from “Dancing With The Stars”, but she blew it. Where the hell is she now?

Amerie- Amerie’s been in the game since 2001, but for some reason her career has yet to take off. While she’s good for churning out a hit every album–we want more! Her former label Columbia didn’t know what to do with her and we thought maybe, just maybe her move to Def Jam would’ve taken her career to great heights…but boy were we wrong! Def Jam was more worried about “Good Girl Gone Rated R” Rihanna so by the time Amerie’s new album “Love & War”  rolled around no one even knew ‘cause we were bombarded with “The Wait is Ova”.

Ashanti- Ashanti was once dubbed the “Princess of Hip-hop & R&B, a title I never agreed with, but hey what do I know? I’m just a regular average Jane. She had a nice lil’ run with Murder Inc and when sh*t got hot she bounced and that’s what screwed up her music career. Without the help of Irv and the whole crew, Ashanti didn’t stand a chance in the music game. Her last album “The Declaration of Ashanti” failed to move units.

Brandy-Brandy’s been in the game since she was 14 years old, but as of late her music career has taken a complete nosedive. She’s gone from singing in sold out arenas to singing in her bathroom. WTF?! Brandy used to “sit on the top of the world”, but now she’s struggling to be on deck. She let other hungry chicks like Beyonce and Rihanna knock her out of her spot.

The second these chicks go Hollywood (acting) they completely forget about their day jobs. As for the hardest working bish in the game Beyonce, although she can’t act a lick shorty sure knows how to handle her business. Maybe Mya, Amerie, Ashanti, and Brandy should hit up Bey for some advice.
