I’ll say Mary J Blige and Usher

In terms of contemporary r&b, they’re it.

Mary over Janet

Janet & ...

He who shall not be streamed

Janet.

The Queen of R&B = Mary J. Blige

If we really wanna keep it a buck...The King of R&B = R. Kelly

Usher doesn’t have real competition other than the rapist and the abuser

R. Kelly gets more love here than he deserves, but yeah

Mary doesn’t have a Velvet Rope
C’mon

Hate to say it but R Kelly is still the king of R&B. His discog, hits, influence and talent is just on another level. Usher 2nd and Chris Brown 3rd.

Kellz........tumbleweed

and

Janet

I thought she was the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul?

Chris Brown vs Usher at a verzuz would be an interesting encounter

Chris gets lil bro’d and goes into beige rage

Usher Verzuz Mrs Carter

Da Beehive would begin the largest and biggest inquest the world has ever witnessed to try and get some dirt on usher in order to get him cancelled before the clash of those titans

Janet is a pop artist

Wat the hell bey doin

Mary has What’s The 411 and My Life which are way better

Usher or Chris Brown are the kings

Janet, Whitney, Mariah are the queens

Janet does a bit of everything, but she's just as much of an R&B artist as she is a Pop singer.

Neither are better than rhythm Nation or control

Mariah as the queen of R&B just ain’t right.

Maybe if you've only heard her pop songs

Way better.
Extremely better

Hell no lol

I’ve heard everything of Janet but I can’t call her strictly r&b unlike Mary
