Gen. Orumov:
I totally disagree. Haven't you heard of a man called R. KELLY? Or I take it that it simply skipped your mind. He is a monster on friday evening and on sunday morning, you will think you're seeing an angel of God in black skin. Write a song for him in any language he doesn't understand including igbo, yoruba or hausa and you'll think he's a nigerian. He also writes songs for other artistes. He's the only artiste that can strip a woman n.aked without touching her but with only his lyrics. When he started making hit after hit, Usher was still learning to break dance. R. Kelly is the undisputed king of R & B.

pro01: Well, I think Usher has been the most commercially successful and most awarded R&B musician so far, so you might have a point.

However, R. Kelly is still widely regarded as the unofficial 'R' in R&B. . .he is simply the best there ever was. R Kelly is the King.

Personally, I would even rate the grossly underrated and undervalued Joe higher than Usher. It's not always all about record sales and awards.

OmoUSH: You guys are just insisting R kelly but u gat no obvious reasons to back it up. It is not done anywhere like that. In many parts of the earth, Usher and mj are the indisputable all time legends of pop thougg the latter remains the king while the former is regarded as an RnB Idol, and someone that changed music forever. Bring ur reasons to show why R kelly takes away the kingship of RnB. But Usher gat all round evidence of his godship not only in RnB but in many other genres as well. Recently, Drake talked about how Usher's earliest music influenced almost everybody including him, and he is a rapper. Didn't u watch him sing live at the memorial of his friend's memorial service? For crying out loud, he performed live in front of over 40 million people live, and to a television audience of almost 2 billion and with so much passion, emotion and confidence to the extent that the whole Jackson's family ran to embrace him. If r kelly is the king of rnb, then USHER IS THE GOD.

Gen. Orumov:

You have a right to your opinion but you can't sit down in front of your computer and just label someone as the best. Run an opinion poll and let's see who comes out on top.

folash: Serzly ds two guys are so frigging gud, buh op common,y wud u evr,lyk evr say usher is d best of RnB. All ur talks abt discography and all rily holds no water. usher shud be compared to d likes of chris brown and joe,and definitely not r kelly..r kelly still remains d king of RnB,and aint no body taking dt away from him...r kelly today, r kelly tomrw, r kelly forever.

OmoUSH:
what u opined now just seized me in panic. Usher is uncomparable to those artists u mentioned cos he is their role model and idol. Infact Usher is in the list of far greater singers than kelly such as the likes of Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Lionel Ritchie, The Temptations, Rolling Stones, Arethra Franklin, Donnie Harthaway, Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson, Marvin Garye. In musical history, USHER RAYMOND HOLDS NECK WITH MORE HONOURABLE LEGENDS LIKE THE BEETLES AND BEE GEES. USHER-THE GOD, NOT EVEN A KING, OF RNB. He changed music and revived the soul of dying RnB FOR ETERNITY. This is on fact and not on clueless opinions like yours.

Gen. Orumov:

You need not view he's opinion as clueless. The bolded above makes me want to conclude that you simply don't know R & B. I said run an opinion poll and let's vote. Simple! Datz all!

Gen. Orumov:
Don't forget that they are of two different eras and also have different styles. There is no use going back and forth. I will be glad if you can answer a few questions of mine. What era were you born? Did you just start listening to Usher (because of the manner you have put this issue on your head)? Pardon me if these questions seem disrespectful but no ridicule intended because even though I don't know you at all, I respect you because you are human like me and have a right to your opinions and what we like differ.

Gen. Orumov:
I said your comment makes me want to conclude not that I categorically said you don't know R n B. As for vocal range, I can go with usher. Usher can switch from high to low in a second which can captivate but vocal range doesn't make somebody more or less of a great artiste.

OmoUSH:
And i love him because his music and voice is a reminiscent of my troubled life. Way to go USHER.

Gen. Orumov:

I now see why you are passionate about Usher that is why you have done painstaking research on this topic but I repeat, leave out all these stories you have posted above and let's just vote. if we choose to do that, R. Kelly will trounce Usher hands down based on people's choices and not all these stories you posted above. Let me prove it to you. 7 different people have posted on this thread and 6 chose R. Kelly while 1 (which is you) chose Usher,if we decide to take it to a bigger stage, R. Kelly will clearly win.

Gen. Orumov:
And who is debating with this one. I don't have time for this research you have decided to embark on. Its of no benefit debating what will not directly benefit me. I see you have enough time on your hands. Goodluck to you. Final words - No matter all the stats and achievements you may have listed, we respect R. Kelly more than we respect Usher. Datz all!

Abagworo:

Abeg o. Don't metion Usher alongside Michael Jackson and as for commercial success I believe R Kelly has out-sold usher.
