Real Love - the best R&B song ever?

i decided it was the best song of the '90s awhile ago. don't even front otherwise!

btw, when was the last time u Ameobaed? last time i was there i was wondering if i would run into u around some corner ! hehe

she is just as important to 90s r&b as missy elliott, but on the complete other side of the spectrum...and i think her legacy will be more secure than someone who was initially attractive but now splits people (like lauryn hill). she will never be as preachy as india.arie (who is already giving free life-lessons on her second album at the age of um, 25). and the songs on those early albums may almost justify producer puff daddy/p diddy's very existence

so for those reasons mary j should be respected if not liked, as long as these consensual ja rule duets never ever happen again and the re-mix albums are kept to a minimum.

now as for mariah...

and if 'Say My Name' by Dc counts than that as well

"One In A Million"
"Creep"
"My Lovin' (Never Gonna Get It)"

I agree with Dan though that "My Lovin" is the bestest of the bestest.

But there was just something about "Real Love" that seemed to jump out at me yesterday: probably the fact that after recently getting the album it was on I fully heard it for the first time in, like, 8 years!!

"My Lovin'" is fucking hot from back in the day, but then that entire Funky Divas album is so, so good. En Vogue really outclassed everybody, even if there were no noticeable personalities standing out till much later (shout out to Dawn Robinson). Salt-n-Pepa were the pioneers, but TLC wins hands down for definitiveness-awards amongst girl groups (biggrest since the Supremes?) as all three worked superbly as a unit and had three distinguishable personas as well, but they've recently been eclipsed by a flawed attempt at facsimile (Destiny's Child - and yes its a singular child, as only Beyonce seems striking enough to succeed alone, with all due respect to Kelly and Michele) and the original incarnation is all but over now. It just can never be the same again, and a new girl-group has to emerge to take back that definitiveness-mantle..

I saw him do this live several years ago. It was great.

Semi-unrelated: I just downloaded an mp3 of this and had my mind blown when I heard the snippet of the Feelies' "Only Life" he throws in in the breakdown. That's one of my very favorite songs.

call me a stick in the mud but i think 'vanilla covers' are pretty zzz.

'only life' #1.

Is "Right Here (Human Nature)" R & B?

This is a good time to point out that Kelly has had more hits outside of Destiny's Child than Beyonce. I've always said that she would be the one to have the most successful solo music career and early indications point to me being correct.

"Right Here (Human Nature)" is definitely R 'n B and is SWV's best song by a long ways.

Do you not feel my love, Dan? I am crushed.

Is it possible to dance badly to this single? Best sashaying ever.

Mike may be onto something here. People I know who dance like Elaine Benes suddenly become ultra dancefloor macks when "My Lovin'" comes on. It's uncanny.

"Creep" is the song to choose because it's TLC's stab at definitiveness.

Every TLC album has a definitive single, though. The first one has "Ain't Too Proud To Beg", the second is a toss-up between "Creep" and "Waterfalls" and the third album has "No Scrubs".

But the chorus... it is close enough for me.

yah buffalo stance is '89 and like i said before i think neneh cherry's homebrew album from'92 is criminally underrated, but it expands beyond r&b to show us the beginnings of trp-hop
