Agreed!!!

full moon is amazing.

that 3 isn’t brandy’s first three albums, i’m discussing first 3. also not as mainstream as alicia’s 3. mary j’s debut was very early 90’s. in the video i ✨ specifically ✨ discuss 2000’s style music … not the 1990s. even if i was talking about 90s, it would be Mariah Carey. love her tho!

@@diaryofpaigehatalyn man, I grew up with Alicia Keys? As I am came out when I was nine, how old are you? What year were you born?

@@123theprodigy5 I was 3 when As I Am came out, I kind of remember being introduced Alicia Keys around 2009 when I was 5, but I became a super fan and started studying her music in 2018.

oh for sure. she got it.

you know, i hate the IASF disrespect cause it’s soooo good. i have to know why you didn’t like diary as much!

@@diaryofpaigehatalyn I honestly found the album too underwhelming at the last half for me to really like it, but I still liked some songs there

Bey is actually next. I’m making a vid on her best album. posting the trailer soon ✨ I for sure agree with you on that run, it was amazing.

she's great! most of her mainstream, billboard success was in the early 90s, and she's credited much more for neo-soul. i was talking about the mainstream sound of r&b in the very late 90's and early 2000's specifically. Alicia's music was consistently mainstream, from debut to third album and her sound was different from any other mainstream r&b artist.

@@diaryofpaigehatalyn In that case, fair enough. Good video.

i’m talking about first 3 album run. there are great debuts of course.

@@diaryofpaigehatalyn Toni Braxton - Self Titled Toni Braxton - Secrets Toni Braxton - The Heat TLC - OOTTT TLC - CSC TLC - Fanmail Love your video on Alicia BUT i’d argue these were stronger 😊

@@DaymoJH my video is about me believing Alicia’s is the strongest, she’s a solo writer as well as a producer, a lot goes into why i think that. her debut song was solo written, which went #1 her second single on her sophomore was also solo written and produced- and also the first solo written song to reach 1 billion streams. she’s the highest selling female r&b artist of the millennium. i like writers and producers, artists that can do that solo.

in my opinion, there are few artists that can’t write and produce at least a few songs on their own that deserve any title of “strongest.” when it comes to creating albums.

@@DaymoJH i do appreciate your thoughts though! ⭐️

mind you, you can GOOGLE male r&b of the 70s and 80s and the major success of those men. and in the 2010’s you can’t. open your mind to logic instead of commenting, “tired and annoying”, name 3 male r&b artist that are topping the charts right now … right but, i can name 3 from the years ‘70 to literally ‘99. y’all know EXACTLY what we mean when we say that! don’t chose to be dense.

@@diaryofpaigehatalyn I'm not choosing too be fucking dense male r&b isn't dead y'all just lazy and don't want to find new artists to listen too..... y'all listen to the same five people and then say music is this and that do you even have any talent in music ??? And then a new artist arise here come the fake critics talking about they vocals and saying they an industry plant and all this other bullshit ..... And here comes the fake executives talking about oh I see no longevity ohh he will fizzled out oh he will flop this what y'all do but u say music is dead or this or that so please stop the fake outrage
