Five Singers That Just Don't Get The Hint (Male)

Sorry you guys, yesterday's post was a cop out. I just couldn't focus on anything. But have no fear, I'm back with the second half to Tuesday's post. The bearer of bad and obvious news is back. This time it's all about the fellas. Check it out.

R.Kelly
Now don't get me wrong Kellz has written some of the greatest songs of our time, but not as of late. It weirds me out that most of his songs turn random objects into sex metaphors. 'Remote Control', 'Sex Weed', 'You Remind Me Of My Jeep', the list goes on and on. Even though, two out of the three of those are my jams, I can't take that. Why do I want to pick up a remote control and automatically think about sex? how does that even correlate together? Plus, R. Kelly has become such a bitch. Suing Jay-Z for getting "maced" during their ill fated tour. Did we forget about him kicking Neyo off of The Light It Up Tour? He did that because Neyo's set was better received by critics than his was. Then, the little known diss track to Neyo called 'Imma Beast'. Check you tube for that. It's so bad, it's funny. Kellz has to realize he is a 40+ year old man. Why is he still trying to compete with guys in their twenties? He doesn't need to remind us on every song that he is the "King Of R&B". Nobody really cares anymore.Sorry.

J.Holiday
To me, since he came out, he has been a one trick pony. Make a sex jam with an '80s synth beat and you have a moderate hit. 'Bed' is the close relative of every Prince ballad on Purple Rain. 'Suffocate' is a song that makes me wish Tevin Campbell could still sing and hope he would put something new out. 'It's Yours' went right back to that '80s thing. Ok, I hope you get the point. If he's a true artist, he should be exploring different musical landscapes. I guess he's not a true artist. Moreover, he doesn't even write his own songs. That is a huge deal breaker for me. On an album of twelve songs, at least one or two the artist should write or co-write. But he doesn't, so he is super wack. Period. Mr. Holiday, it's time to put your career to bed..bed..bed.

Wyclef Jean
At first, I wasn't going to put him on this list. I've always loved his work. From The Fugees on down to his solo albums and his producing, I've been a fan. Such a fan that I bought his and Kanye's first album and didn't play Kanye's for a month because I was so into Wyclef's. So why is he on here, you ask. He gets a spot because of that damn 'We Are The World' remake performance. That was the most terrible thing I had heard in my life. That's up there with Paris Hilton attempting to sing and act. Yes, it was that bad. How can someone with so much talent be tone deaf and just all over the place with his "singing"? He really sounds like a wounded animal, not the kind to make you want to help it. But the kind you want to shoot just so it will shut the hell up. Wyclef, Im going to have to put you in singer jail and your sentence is life without parole.

Jagged Edge
As I type this, I'm saddened. Jagged Edge had so much promise - no pun intended- when they first dropped. They were the group with the slow jams on lock. 'I Gotta Be', 'Let's Get Married', ' Goodbye', those were some bangers. But right around 2005 or so, they forgot who they were. 'Stunnas' is a cool song, but it sounds like they aren't comfortable singing it. How does one go from "..I just wanna get married.." to "..Stunna shades on/fluid in my cup.."? Can someone explain why they're musically, regressing instead of progressing? Didn't think so. Which leads me to their new song. "She Stays On The Tip Of My Tongue", I don't know if you have heard it , but it sucks really really bad. They need to re-evaluate their lives and music in order to put out a good album.

Ray J
I don't even know why I consider this fool a singer. He's done more singing on his tv show than in a studio. I'll give him this, he's had maybe two or three hits. But none of them were hits in mainstream music. He's counted on Brandy's fans to suport him. You know you're riding someone's coattails when a parent sees you on tv and says, "What is Brandy's brother doing with a tv show? He's that famous?" My mom has wonderful comments about him. She can't stand him more than me and she doesn't even know his name. She doesn't know because he will only ever be Brandy's little brother, nothing more or less.
