The Top Ten

1 Usher Usher Usher Terry Raymond IV is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor. Born in Dallas, but raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee was where he lived until moving to Atlanta, Georgia at the age of 12 where his mother put him in local singing competitions all over the city.

usher is the best. not only his singing but also his dancing. his steps are awesome n specially his grammy-11 performance, it was a ripper, too good.

King because nobody gets closer to his vocal prowess and giving different emotions to songs how it's supposed to be

@the one who said Raheem and Maxwell suck, go clean out your ears! - NicoleJohnnyLutherBrianFan

2 Luther Vandross Luther Vandross

This is truly comical... Vocal talent exceeds all of the artist listed 1 to 19! These polls are usually based upon popularity and have little to do with sheer vocals, lyrics, and meaning behind the words that create the songs. I can extend credit to the other artist for arriving at success in the chosen field, but none of them can hold a candle to "The Voice"!

Usher is good, but Luther is the master of this genre! - DaWyteNight

The greatest singer of all time!

3 Raheem Devaughn
4 Trey Songz Trey Songz

Trey songz is so hot, he's hot and his music. If anything he could be #1. All the girls love him because lte's face it the man has swag and a bunch of it too. My favorite song is "Can't be friends". He's just that good. - 1234piggyface

Trey is good and deserves a spot on the list but he definitely isn't better than Joe, Luther, Brian McKnight, Marvin Gaye, and many others. - DaWyteNight

he is one of the greatest singers and plus he doesn't always talk about sex he talks about findin love plus are kelly rapped a lil girl so he sucks

Usher is awesome but I think Trey Songz’s range is better than even Usher!

5 R. Kelly R. Kelly Robert Sylvester Kelly, known professionally as R. Kelly, is an American recording artist, songwriter, record producer, and former professional basketball player.

I like his album "Double Up" - he has good designs.

Can't argue with two decades of success
No one else on this list has the extensive catalog that Mr. kelly has
HIT AFTER HIT

He's one of my favorites. Every song he does is brought to life.

The king of rnb should be #1

6 Miguel

How is robin thicke and all of them above this man, he has one of the best voice I've heard he should be with ne-yo and usher

Miguel has a very artistic vibe to him that has been very appealing to a lot of people so far, he is a breath of fresh air for rnb.

Miguel is my favorite male R&B singer [ well one of my favorites]. Wildheart is what got me into him. - JaysTop10List

7 Mario

Best in The game, Trey Song is not as good as Mario, No Way

Mario should right behind usher, that is a singing brother #2

IT'S A ME! MARIO!
Did you know the song "Let Me Love You" was dedicated to peach?

8 Ne-Yo Ne-Yo Shaffer Chimere Smith, better known by his stage name Ne-Yo, is an American R&B singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer and actor.

14 Jay Sean Jay Sean Jay Sean is a British singer and songwriter. He debuted in the UK's Asian Underground scene as a member of the Rishi Rich Project with "Dance with You", which reached No.

Jay Sean is cool, but definitely not top 10 good or even top 20. There's just so many great r&b singers who deserve it more. - DaWyteNight

16 Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye was an American singer, songwriter, and musician, and is regarded as one of the greatest singers of all time .

How are taio cruise the dance artist, Jason derulo the pop artist, trey songz the r&b artist who only sings about sex, and R Kelly who is good but not on the same level as Marvin higher than Marvin Gaye! - DaWyteNight

What has the world come to when The Man that all of these people look up to is not even in the Top 5. Ridiculous.

Yeah, he makes real R&B. Chris Brown & Usher are just pop singers (no offense to pop music)

Marvin should be top 3 - NicoleJohnnyLutherBrianFan

17 John Legend John Legend John Roger Stephens, better known by his stage name John Legend, is an American singer, songwriter, musician and actor.

John Legend, what can't be said about him. He has a beautiful soulful voice and has nominations and awards to prove it.

This man is a monster. His voice is mad smooth and soulful unlike a lot of these R^^B singers today.

21 Joe

Joe is the best r&b singer of the 90's! He's better than Usher, R Kelly and all of them. Usher and Kellz are good, but Joe is just on another level, one of the few singers who actually knows what r&b is all about and can actually sing his face off! - DaWyteNight

Joe is one of d best...
Hs purely into rnb only..
N he delivers it with no blemish
