r&b trend poll

house&B

I'm spent

vanilla ballads are the best always.

keyshia cole "heaven sent" = YESS!

but I'll ride for house&b until I change my mind

but rly I voted for trance-crunk

so what is the difference between lush electro and trancecrunk

the electro-ness

trancecrunk = "Love in This Club"

lush electro = grindmode aka "miami" sans rappers????

?????????

yeah.

but I don't think "love in this club" is a shining example

I went with lush electro b/c I like lush and I like electro and I loved Lloyd's singles last year and that seems to meet the description to me but I guess I don't know wtf lush electro really is.

vanilla ballads= HEARTS ALL OVER THE WORLD TONIGHT HEARTS ALL OVER THE WORLD TOOOONIIIIGHT

lush electro = "Drifter"(/"Bartender"?) and derivatives

yeah "you" is a good one for 'lush electro'

trancecrunk = "Love in This Club"

lush electro = grindmode aka "miami" sans rappers????

this, basically

I guess Lloyd can fit in there

add both Lloyd songs to Miami sound, btw

i think i'm voting for house&b if the dream album is included

wait "I'm So High" is a rap song!!!!

where would j holiday - bed fit in.

it's trancey but not crunky.

New Jack Swing, still.

the-dream's album its more trance&b, there's only one house&b song

"I'm So High" barely has any rapping on it.

xp about dream

"Ditch That"???? too slow to be house, if thats what you meant

the one rap verse is actually pretty good though

xp about "i'm so high"

i need a copy without Rouse on it

not that his verse is what made me say that though

matrix ill put it on zshare

on the real i have no idea what any of these mean even though i was part of the discussion so idk what i'm going to vote for

the-dream's record isnt really trancenb either

I probably should have added a category for Linn-drum slow jams

rly tho guys don't sleep on vanilla ballads. keyshia cole "heaven sent" is a perfect song.

there is lots ot tranciness! "nikki" "luv songs" etc.

and there's snap&b like "i luv ur girl"

and there's that one vanilla ballad "mama"

he's got all of the bases covered

where do valentino's latest singles fit in? i loved those (anonymous/tell me). 'trance-crunk'?

the one rap verse is actually pretty good though

Yeah, especially the "big bon-ed/dark ton-ed" rhyme. But to say it's not an r&b song is pretty wtf.

thanks

I'm trying to figure out where the house is on the-dream album...

"Anonymous" = definitely trance-crunk

haven't heard the other, I don't think

"anonymous" is part of the trance&b trifecta - "my love," "icebox," "anonymous"

"ditch that" has a 4/4 beat no?

and then luv songs and falsetto sound like late 90s tim

"anonymous" is part of the trance&b trifecta - "my love," "icebox," "anonymous"

i love all three of these i might vote for trance&b

"Can't Help but Wait" & "Like You'll Never See Me Again" = favorite vanilla ballads of the mo

^^^^^^this!

new mario joint is good trance-crunk

"Ditch That" is straight Timbaland

ashanti's "way that I love you" is my fave vanilla ballad out right now besides keyshia cole "heaven sent" & "i remember"

xp timbo: who I guess is the father of what we're calling house&b here with the way i are or whatever but I doubt the-dream was lsitening to Strictly Rhythm records when he made that song

pretty sure he's heard some strictly rhythm tracks tho

hey guys, this is a really interesting thread!!!!!

which one? crying out for me?

yeah

I'm actually kind of surprised the r&b power-ballad didn't become more of a trend in the wake of "Umbrella".

tape store you should read that estelle thread though its kinda confusing

livin a lie is more trance&b to me

!???????????what is trance about this song

o good tape store is here to save it

ny's local scene is so lame.

HAHAHAHA you have no idea how good you have it

me too, "no air" and tiffany evans "i'm grown" are the only songs that sound post-"umbrella" to me

um, those MASSIVE SYNTHS maybe.

deej stop being a dick

i'm tired of lame mixtape rappers who all sound like uncle murda & papoose.

rapping over boring sub-heatmakerz beats.

i think tape store was being genuine anyway

deej stop being a dick

i was only being a dick to tape store, your zings were just for lols

har&bdman deej

nah i was just talkin about the tape store and matrix things, zings =/ being a dick

if I'd have to choose I'd say "Livin A Lie" leans toward house only because when I think of the trance stuff I think more euphoric, epic

anyway more importantly @ brainwasher - there are plenty of synths like that in house music! that beat is totally house

yeah preview otm actually

yah, those dudes suck, but I'll take them over Seattle's backpack hegemony

ha they're both pretty lame dudes

no one should ever sound like papoose

papoose and remy ma v. young dro aand fantasia

has anyone heard the radio edit of 'falsetto'? it's totally bizarre. it's like verse-chorus-verse-chorus-long ass bridge where the song should end-verse and then it cuts off

Dyme Def = saving lights of Seattle rap

^^That's not one of their best songs, but it beats the shit out of Common Market or Blue Scholars or whatever.

to get back into this thread kinda, just in case no one saw this, this thing from pop idolator 07 http://pop.idolator.com/319055/2007-in-the-mix-rich-juzwiak is a pretty good outline of the whole 4/4&b thing

xp to self: actually, I think I'm underselling that song

6. Omarion and Kat DeLuna, "Cut Off Time" (from Feel the Noise OST, Sony BMG)

^^underrated

wtf is "No One" doing on that list

rtfm

isn't any Timbo post-Futuresex trancecrunk?

xp: I read up to "You needn't look further than the name of my blog" and took his word for it

his blog is really awesome btw. great ANTM recaps.

haha yeah tyra.gif thread's rss feed

no one cares about nivea anymore but 'i might' should fit in here somewhere.

rhea's 'don't let go' off that rich j idolator mix is probably my fave out of all the house&b stuff i've heard.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

which is "don't stop the music"

?

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

booshit

i don't even remember what i voted for or what we decided half of these mean but i'm pretty okay with house&b

wtf 20 votes too

oh man i've been calling it R&House - talk about makin a fool out of yourself

snap&lol

^^that

heard a dj throw the just the drumbeat from "My Boo" under "Love in this Club" the other day. Vast improvement.

they got djs like that in seattle?

haha a week ago I walked into the bar where Matos was djing and the first thing he says to me is "I'M ON ACID!"
