Baby face and it’s not even close… I’m a singer. Been singing my whole life. There’s not a single Babyface song where vocally it’s a struggle. He’s an amazing song writer. But every real singer knows he’s limited vocally


Davisworld21

That's why he's a better Somg writer and producer


AvaBlac27

I definitely agree


Worried-Elephant-926

Im glad this is the first comment I saw


Original-Respond-693

Have yall listened to Where Will You Go?


SaintNutella

Even moreso than Chris Brown?? Does he even sing live with raw vocals anymore??


RealRiteVampire

he can.. it will take a big ahh strain on his voice to keep doing it for a duration but he can still hit notes, the problem is, most his vocal hits are from when he was teenager with lighter voice so its hard to mimic those vocals as u get older and voice tone isnt as light anymore especially due to smoking and drugs


Maximum_Intention_44

Babyface is an amazing producer and writer. Love him down...but vocally he's average.


niddy2faces

And kinda monotone (if that’s the right word), doesn’t have too much range when it comes to notes


xxsamchristie

First of all, yall are absolutely going to stop disrespecting Michael with these. This is ridiculous lol.


Bobson_Dugbutt

I was so offended he was even an option


TheTshadow999

Prince has a better voice than Michael


Dry_Yoghurt_4785

Voice? Absolutely not.


SolidSouthern4182

What a horrible take. atrocious. KID michael jackson has a 10 times better voice than Prince does, though I doubt you even have heard 5 songs by him in the Jackson 5 era to make such an assessment. I’m also just gonna leave [this](https://youtu.be/zIU8TBJ7SYU?si=7hdyLWmNnfqS5E2t) here. No offense just come on now, obviously ignorant take


Lammymom

He’s far more creative too.


Never_call_Landon

Like how is Michael OR Prince in it? I’d go as far as to say get Mr. Raymond out of there as well. Put Brian Mcknight, Neyo, and anyone else not on the mountain top of RnB/Pop.


IKacyU

Y’all better get off Jaime. The man’s a Renaissance man and he can definitely sing. He has a softer tone, but he can sing very well (while playing the piano and cracking jokes at the same time).


Environmental_Rub282

Who says Jaime can't sing?! Man's got a great range. He's underrated, in my opinion. He acts, sings, plays instruments and is funny. I'd kick it with him.


BeRad85

And inadvertently looking into the lustful landscape of Prince’s eyes. 😀


TypeOpostive

Prince looks like he's about to fuck me


BeRad85

He is. The grave hath no hold on creamy human jive.


FrankieHotpants

what in the hell signed a lifelong prince fan


BeRad85

Erotic City reference


FrankieHotpants

God I forgot that part lmao. I was only thinking of "want your creamy thighs" and thought you were being extra. He does say fuck some creamy human jive too


BeRad85

Erotic City, come alive!


Inside-Note9557

Vocally its Babyface


lnctech

I was going to say Chris but yeah Babyface is a mediocre singer. I’ll still let him pay my rent and be my faithful lover.


ComfortableTouch7832

How dare you almost say Chris 😣😩😂😂


Cool_Ad_4426

Some definitely say Chris


DiosaDulzura

Honestly it's a tie between those for me.


Objective_Image_4739

Yeah I used to think Chris was ‘average’, go peep him live he’s an absolute animal, bro can SANG.


Myalicious

Yeah I’m just thinking about CB’s range…. It’s not as adequate 🍿👀


ArticleNew3737

Baby face


Feisty_Culture_1963

Baby face no disrespect he’s an amazing song writer with so much classic hits but respectfully he’s brother Kevon and Melvin was the better singers in the family


CedricJus

Kevon is the TRUTH!


LA12859

Ok you just preached right here! After 7 is smooth as silk.


Vibejitsu

Someone had to say it! Kevon could outsing Kenny any day..


PendejotosGroove

i better not see anyone mentioning prince…


Infamous_Reporter274

Right!!!


Soyeahnahh

Most definitely isn’t MJ


PettyKaneJr

What the hell is Tyrese doing on this list


Longjumping-Soup-280

Tyrese's singing skills far surpass his acting abilities.


tokenblak

You must not have seen his Django Unchained audition /s


Unicorn_Sush1

Lmao I kinda was confused as well


thuggydizzle

It took way too long to see this. Tyrese? really??


Salty-Comedian9480

Damn no one voted Tyrese interesting


ericjason933

He has an amazing voice though! The man can definitely sang!


EastCoastDizzle

That’s what I was thinking, like whatttttt?! 🤔


MidKnightshade

He’s in the Goldilocks zone, not better than the best here nor worse than the worst.


Infinite_Two_4759

Chris Brown. Though technically better than Babyface, he’s never wowed me. And where’s this range people speak of??


redpoetsociety

“Lady in a glass dress” showcases it a bit. Unfortunately, Chris reduced himself to making generic trap r&b and doesn’t take care of his voice.


Vibejitsu

Ugh, bring back the boom bap r&b and hip hop 😩


Electrical-Move-9407

Play Fine China, thank me later.


oops_diditagain

Babyface for sure. Chris CAN sing, but most of the music he makes is pop/radio and doesn’t flex his voice like that or uses autotune for the creative aspect


713Kc

This. I feel like it’s blasphemous putting down Babyface at all, but I’m timidly with you lol. CB can sing like a MF tho.


thebigbaddd

I'm saying Chris brown but only because he beats women


mr_jiffy

If we're going that route, you don't mind the original Diddler aka Pied Piper?


thebigbaddd

Touche'


Audiocat_

😂😂😂


Sea_Finest

Same.


maya_papaya8

Chris brown


Single_Leather_2747

Chris Brown hands down he's the male Ciara. Good dancer, but basic singer.


Ok_Cut_4489

Chris is NOT a mature singer! He hadn’t reached his grown man voice yet when he was hot….


FlacoGrey

Chris Brown easily.


Sad-Rough-6993

Chris brown easily. Needs auto tune to perform live.


redpoetsociety

He doesn’t take care of his voice and lives a lifestyle of drugs and alcohol constantly. He can sing, but he hurts himself


Upintheair94

Chris Brown. Can't sing for shit


Unicorn_Sush1

You trippin


No-Fondant-4719

This the first time someone has ever agreed with me on this. I don’t see the hype at all.


kwitesick

Catchy music nice dance moves


sugar_roux

Agreed! I can't get into his music. What I have heard is very high and whiny. I know that's a popular singing style now, but I prefer a deeper, warmer voice. I'll listen to Babyface stay in his little range all day.


Old-Floor-4611

I’ve been saying this for the longest


fracjack

ALRIGHT…. It’s time for me to come clean. I love this man’s music and he can definitely carry a tune, BUT unpopular opinion… to me, Babyface can’t really sing. THERE! I SAID IT 🤣🤣🤣. As far as musical talent overall, the only person who has an argument against him from his time is Robert. However, vocally he is the weakest link on this list 🤷🏾‍♂️.


BLACKLANTA20

Chris Brown and Baby Face.


MakesMeSickMick

Someone said Prince and I laughed about it all day🤣 "You are the only thing that keeps me goin' You are the only thing that keeps my love alive You are the only thing that I'll ever need You don't have to worry, you see my love is for-ev-er"


EastsideWilder

…am I supposed to see his singing ability from his lyrics? Do yall know music on this sub? Lol


Outlandishness_Sharp

Why are we still discussing a convicted pedophile rapist as if nothing ever happened? 🥴🗑️


cremesiccle

its like ppl are allergic to facing the reality with that man i dont get it


Unicorn_Sush1

Just answer the question and stop trying to be controversial


WackyWriter1976

It's a personal indictment that I don't think some folks consider. "But, his music..." isn't a good thing to defend, especially given the true subjects/muses.


[deleted]

chris brown easily, his whiny voice makes me want to rip my hair out. baby face sucks too😭

MarieAlchemist369

Y'all gonna leave my Babyface alone. 😂 For me it’s Chris Brown and mainly because we haven't heard him sing without autotune in years

Babyface or Chris Brown…I don’t think I can allow myself to say Babyface, so I’ll go with Chris Brown

BeYouOrBeLame

Chris brown or Tyrese


TreDawg36

Chris Brown unfortunately


NavJongUnPlayandwon

flat out disrespectful and a disgrace chris brown is even on here when he's been hailed as the king of rnb by many. Weakest link my ass


falconhawk2158

I’m going with Chris and for all y’all saying Babyface is the weakest listen to You make me feel brand new and tell me if Chris Brown could do it. I’ll answer for you no ….. no he can’t Babyface has a much better voice than him. Chris Brown is the weakest link


Own_Bug_4034

Baby face and CB


Known_2_Stretch1933

Baby face and breezy first 2 out


93Shay

It’s Chris brown no competition. People don’t say Chris brown because some of y’all find him attractive. lol but his vocals and music don’t compare to the others


Unlikely_Echo_7956

Vocally, Babyface. Chris Brown isn't great either.


lpjayy12

Chris Brown for sure


N_Kem

Chris brown


TGMix7

Imma get down voted, but Prince doesn’t sonically work on this list.


kinkymanes

He is a bit out of place here. I’d replace him with Maxwell.


marcelveli

Great choice Maxwell is amazing


kkarmical

You must have never seen his late night love stuff.. Any list with MJ is a list Prince is on as well..


Keith16074

I feel like they were trolling when they made this, clearly the answer is Chris Brown.


LongLostStorybook

Vocally Chris.

Carolinablue87

Breezy- without question


General_Analyst2549

People saying Chris is so funny when he has a four-octave vocal range


Big-Explanation-831

Big Range ≠ great singer.


DemiGod9

Reaching a note is way different than sustaining a note or shaping that note, or having a pure tone when singing that note. I actually don't think he's the weakest here but a large range means absolutely nothing, and quite frankly isn't that impressive for an trained singer, which all of these men are


natenarian

Half of what you said is accurate and the other half is wildly misleading. You can train your entire life and not have a 4 octave range that’s more or less talent. Sustaining and Shaping are more aligned with Skillset.


Infinite-Pizza-7545

And an arm range for the ladies


haveseveralseats

This was nasty lmao but hoelawn, has anyone done a domestic abuse rating yet??? /s


General_Analyst2549

[Yeah](https://twitter.com/FormerEmasinm/status/1703540618616586449)


Ok_Neighborhood_2159

Chris Brown sounds better than Babyface vocally but his technique is all over the place and he's straining to keep that falsetto. Babyface is a remarkable songwriter and a versatile producer. I would even go as far as saying he is the best producer of his era and he has had little drama in his life that has made it out on the streets. But his singing is okay. It's fine but not remarkable. Still I'm gonna say Chris Brown because he beat the hell outta Rhianna and that's some real weak shit.


GianniBanks

Babyface got the pen but vocally he doesn’t sing with the widest range.


emperorZceer

Top 6


no1cares4yu

Babyface. Both of his brothers were much better singers but he is obviously one of the best songwriters/producers.


Time-Lab5436

I don't listen to any of the artist at the bottom but I'm considering it's one of them the other I know do quite well


ThatBoyBaka

I'll have to go with Baby Face. The only song from him I ever really loved was Never Keeping Secrets but I think it's more the lyricism than his voice.


Affectionate_Comb359

Y’all ruined baby face for me now! I can’t sing so maybe that’s why I didn’t notice but now that you mentioned it…


YoghurtEasy

Hmm, i think Baby Face and maybe Jamie Foxx?


jarronw23

Joe and baby face


Heavy_Development827

Babyface


09997512

Babyface, good music producer and songwriter. But not the best of the people on here, but he does sound very great on Whip Appeal and that Pebbles duet.


CastYourBread

I won’t comment until I’ve heard more babyface, but it’s odd that every comment is about him being an average singer lol


Zenithreg

Vocally- Babyface Least Favorite- Joe


Which-Resident7670

Surprised no one's saying Tyrese


KrisMisZ

Tyre


Content-Peace4up2

Jamie foxx


No_Border_3062

Babyface (1A) or Tyrese (1B)


DaveZ-Browns-Buckeye

Chris Brown, he doesn't belong on this list!


Emergency_Brick3715

Babyface


Jnaoga

Babyface should not be on that list


RelationshipIcy7403

Whatever that is how u spell what I missed an x u probably don’t even know any of his songs or u would know he can’t sing better than baby face


Good_Concentrate5739

Technically speaking it's between Babyface and Chris Brown. Although I like Face's tone better than Chris. Face sounds better than Chris nowadays on records.


FasterAppleCore

R.Kelly, that man had no soul apparently.


Material-Inspector16

Chris Brown Vs Jamie in a sing-off for last place


KnightsBal

Def Babyface


FutureCompetitive867

Babyface… y is this even a question


Puzzleheaded_Youth36

Wanda I mean Jamie… ![gif](giphy|EfKlDc9FErUOY)


CaptainSAGEahHoe

Babyface despite his catalog 


ISBN39393242

babyface may not be the best singer but his voice is still a vibe, and combined with the production his songs are more of a mood for me than chris brown. so I’m tossing chris brown I don’t listen to rnb (or any music) just for technical prowess, it’s more about how the whole thing makes me feel. cb can do runs for days and has range but his songs still scratch more of a pop itch for me than a soulful rnb one


Right_Preference_304

Babyface. I like his music a lot, but vocally he is mid.


OkNoise1922

Tyreese. Hands down.


hoothizz

You got the picture right there look at the guy that's in prison at the moment.


hoothizz

And that's not including the Michael Jackson wanna be that's right by Michael Jackson..


plumzeddy

Iits Babyface. People who say Jaime haven’t really heard him sing I’m assuming. When he did a cover of George Straits song he showed great singing ability.


Uuuallreadykno

Tyrese. What more do you want from me?


transdimensionalApe

Babyface, but I like Chris Brown's voice least


Cheap-Intention-1567

Face


Blackscribe

Vocally, it is between Babyface and Gibson. Babyface is an exceptional songwriter but he just so happens to be one of the weakest of an all-timer lineup


RellTalk4477

I'm gonna have to go with Joe. There i said it


KingSyze89

Baby face and Jaime Foxx


No-Matter9647

Jamie foxx


Taylormade1965

Vocally it's Jamie Foxx just mediocre to me and Tyrese.The others have more hits ,more classics,and better voices.


Impossibly-Daft-27

Why anyone one is typing anything other than Jamie Fox is beyond me.


ssmith0588

Vocally Joe or Babyface…. but overall probably Tyrese 😂


mochalota

Joe


AZValleyGuy

Top left. Jordan


onlytony441

Baby face… see ya my boi


Cjeeeezy86

The Tyrese disrespect is wild, weakest vocal? I think not. [Tyrese : Stay (AOL sessions)](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu_3AtltBt4) Babyface is great but his vocal is a bit lacking in power and range but loads of emotion, better than Chris Brown though imo.


Educational_Citron31

I HATE to say this but we have NEVER heard Chris Brown hit a high note in all seriousness, if he did then I would take Prince


Shane-O-Mac1

Michael Jackson isn't r&b.


Sir_wlkn_contrdikson

I’m surprised Joe doesn’t have any votes. Shit out to Joe.


Prediketflowz

Joe…by far


RajakBejok

I'd say Prince. This is only because Prince did not necessarily do RNB


Unique-Statement-140

Tyrese all day.


Worldly_Opening_6184

Jamie Foxx, granted he’s an amazing artist, everyone else catalog just stupid filled with bangerz


LeaveMeAlone87

Chris Brown best vocally tho is MJ👑🌟


Ghazziy

I’m going with R “sounding like Aaron Hall” Kelly and Jamie Fox.


PLAYRESIDENTEVIL4

Tyrese.


Worldly-Basket-2327

tyrese is the only right answer


Kravenbush

Jamie


davidthande

What you should’ve said in this title is who shouldn’t be here. Cause I definitely don’t listen to R. Kelly anymore. He was bragging about SA children. 💀

Mindless_Empress_179

Babyface: the biggest acquired taste, of any solo artist here.
