This would be as good a time as any for you all to go out and buy some Keyshia Cole.
Oh, most definitely. She's easily the most impressive out of the r&b females to have emerged in the last two or three years.
For REAL? I mean, I know Bay Area heads ride for her, but on the real I find her unlistenable. Maybe it's the vocal processing that's on so many of her records, and maybe it's because she's one of those singers that just doesn't know when to STOP singing and let the music breath (Mary J. is guilty of this too) or maybe it's because I find the songs that have been written for her to be trite, but I cannot fade Ms. Cole at ALL.

I am so sick of vocal acrobatics to be honest. Aguilera is so fucking unlistenable.

Chrissy Aggy is by far the worst offender when it comes to melisma as well as the Diva Hand of Emotion, which is the modern "soul/R&B singer" version of Rapper Hands.
I fucks with Keyshia Coles (real old guys[/b] know to attach an "s" on the end of her last name even though no such letter exists there)
(remembering a guy i used to know in his fifties who was a big fan of "johnny WINTERS," as if he were Shelley's son or something)

and miles davis once told Spin magazine that one of his favorite contemporary musicians was George Dukes.
it goes both ways - there used to be this late-night blues DJ in Chicago, black guy well into his fifties, and he couldn't pronounce bluesman Lonnie Brooks' name without CUTTING OFF the "s" ("Lonnie BROOK")
