FreddieKaneTop5@Teal_ i remember when Kiss Land came out and I ran downstairs to put my stepdad (big MJ fan from the 80s and saw him live and s***) on to Abel thinking that we finally had a “new MJ”. He was just like “yeah, he’s ok”.... I was crushed.
My dad does this all the time and it's annoying af tbh. It's kind of snobby, but I usually come to the realization that he was right the entire time. I used to claim the strokes were living legends and compared them to velvet underground all the time like a dumbass (i was only 16), in hindsight I can understand my excitement back then but I'm cringing at the thought of doing s*** like that now

DonutHoleWhat you or I like/dislike doesn't really matter when those albums are certified rnb classics 10+ years after the fact and have become a reference for future generations
Chris and usher are amazing performers as well (dance skills on point)Bruno mars performing is a standard in and of itself and his ability to craft hits for himself and others +crossover appeal isn't something to gloss over either
For the weeknd, it's too early to tell imo of he has reached their level before talking about if he surpassed them
Maybe he's not that type of rnb performer either hence the numerous frank comparisons maybe... Idk
First Bruno album isn’t an rnb classif it’s not even rnb

DayThe people saying he’s a legend but he’s no where near the level of actual legends makes absolutely no sense
Ppl just say that to avoid getting flamed by ppl who think old = better

People rate Bruno so much higher than he should be, he’s mostly just an amazing performer and talent but his music is not groundbreaking or earth shattering at all

MBDTF is up there as well considering it sold 450k with the circumstances
Nah no way
Quality wise sure but MBDTF is only like 4x platinum 10 years on it’s not even close to that kind of dominance
Grad is the better comparison but I don’t think that’s really that close either

TomorrowHe’s only not a legend if you’re comparing him to past legends. Why are you doing that?
Then he’s not a legend period. U either say he’s a legend and make the comparison or u don’t

Yep. He’s one of the best performers of our generation but that’s really it.

Like I get why people hesitate to call The Weeknd a legend, cause he’s really not an MJ or Prince, but he has managed to craft each era into a story and a big deal. It makes sense since he’s so much of an art and film buff

Weeknd doesn’t have a confessions and he isn’t near as good of a singer as usher.
He’s a legend tho
