Why all the fret with Ne-Yo?


The big problem with contemporary R&B is the lack of originality. It all sounds exacerbantely equalized. Maybe is the price of success, maybe is a case of a dead end road or it is simply a phase that will soon pass. The thing is that once the hip-hop industry is reching it's nadir, everybody in the music industry has turned their eyes to the everclassic R&B. In search of a new trend that reignites America's hunger for the last sensation (the main rule of marketing). But it doesn't seem to be the case. Although superstars like Mariah Carey have finally redirect their wealth limos to a more R&B sound, the trials of the search for the new posterboy (yeap, the industry is extremely sexist) that can incarnate the values and miracles of the new trend seem to be failing once and again.


As much as finding the Tupacs and Biggies posterboys that ignited the fire of hip-hop was seamingly easy, the comtinual efforts to place a postyerboy of R&B seems to fail once and again. Maybe the nearer they've got has been Ne-Yo. But i think that the frett and desperation in saluting him as the next musci saviour has evidenced the tactics and the public doesn't seem to accept him as the definitive R&B Messiah. who will be? Will they finnalle come to terms to the existence of far more talented women that are not just products like Miss Beyonce? We'll see.
