The Cheesy R&B Appreciation Thread - Haters don't even think about it.

Posted by KissMeKate on Dec 03, 2009 · Member since Aug 2007 · 7322 posts

This thread is to express our mutual adoration for cheesy R&B pop songs.

***Haters unwelcome***
Comments like "What has music come to?" and "I really don't like R&B," and "I don't know any of these songs!" are annoying, unproductive and kind of make you look like a pretentious douche. This thread is for people who ARE interested. If you're not interested go make a different thread.

Moving on. Please post your favorites. My entire workout playlist is pretty much cheesy R&B, and some not cheesy.

I was telling veganhippie that this is my current obsession:

Good Mornin by Chamillionaire

Down by Jay Sean (partly because Jay Sean is Indian. swoon)

Is it cheesy to love that song by Mary J. Blige....I think it's called "Let's get it Crunk" or something like that. It's a few years old, but I just love it.

I'm partial to James Brown and Smokey Robinson, myself.....but then, I'm old (and I don't really think they're cheesy). I haven't heard of any of these guys that are posted. I guess I shall have to put on my ears and indulge in the cheese! ;D

I know nothing really about R&B and didn't think I liked it because of the silly lyrics, but I started listening to it at the gym and I can go harder and longer with a strong beat playing, so I'm no longer a hater.
