Default King of R&B?
No Marvin Gaye/Luther Vandross suggestions please, someone who isn't ancient and of this generation

Usher imo

Usher or R Kelly in terms of current artists, the only two with any real staying power.

Yeah i'm going with Chris Brown and Ne-yo based on their older music, both produced good songs.

There ought to be a review every decade of who was the king/queen of each popular music genre in the previous ten years because as great as I'm sure Madonna was at the time, she's not like an actual monarch, she's not the Queen of Pop until she dies

Rihanna is quite clearly the current queen of pop and anyone who denies if is quite frankly lying to themselves

No one comes near Prince.

R. Kelly was good in his earlier days.

Usher is a hack

I'd say Michael Jackson is still the King of Pop because there honestly haven't been any globally successful male popstars since Justin Timberlake who aborted his career for no apparent reason. Every other major male solo artist I can think of just doesn't belong to pop.

I didn't rate his comeback at all, I'm assuming there won't be a follow up to it in the immediate future, just seemed like he got bored and decided to make an album one day and it just sounds like an extension of his last album to me, from what I heard of the new one.

i'm not really a fan of the whole "let's give this title to someone else now" movement

MJ will always be king, Elvis will always be THE king, Madonna will always be queen. There're other titles that can be given to Britney or whoever's still dancing about in ten years time.
