Best Male R & B Singers
The Top Ten
Luther Ronzoni Vandross Jr. was an American singer, songwriter and record producer. Throughout his career, Vandross was an in-demand background vocalist for several different artists. 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"!
People that were not around to hear this guy sing, are too young and don't know how to vote!
Usher is good, but Luther is the master of this genre!
The greatest singer of all time!
Michael Joseph Jackson was an American singer, dancer, and songwriter born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana and passed away on June 25, 2009. He donated (at least) a remarkable 500,000,000 dollars to charity. Michael is also known as The King of Pop (a title given to him by Elizabeth Taylor) or under ...read more. The greatest of all time the king of POP
Michael Jackson is the King of Pop period. R Kelly is the King of RnB. This generation as of now should go to Chris Brown. End of Discussion
Seriously? Usher and Chris Brown? I'm kinda ok with luther vandross or Marvin Gaye being in front of him but seriously he inspired more than half the people on this list
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.
@the one who said Raheem and Maxwell suck, go clean out your ears!
King because nobody gets closer to his vocal prowess and giving different emotions to songs how it's supposed to be
The only thing that bothers me about him is what he did to Green Day in 2012
Marvin Gaye was an American singer, songwriter, and musician, and is regarded as one of the greatest singers of all time. Understand this, there is NO ONE who sings better than Marvin Gaye other than Aretha Franklin.
Should be no lower than two, however, he had more of the complete package so you can make the argument for the number one position.
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!
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.
Robert Sylvester Kelly, known professionally as R. Kelly, is an American recording artist, songwriter, record producer, and former professional basketball player. If you have heard his live renditions of Soldiers heart or When a woman loves then you know he's head and shoulders above anyone
He is definitely #1 on my list...all hands down! I'll vote for him over and over again. I have been following this man since "Vibe" in 1992 and will continue to follow him>>>
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
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!
Joe is one of d best...
Hs purely into rnb only..
N he delivers it with no blemish
Jeffrey Linton Osborne is an American musician, singer-songwriter, lyricist, and lead singer of the band LTD. When Jeffrey is lower than the king of bad autotuned pop on an r&b singers list...
Can beat ANYONE TODAY!

Gerald Maxwell Rivera,, better known by his stage names Maxwell and Musze, is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, and actor. Maxwell is the only person that knows what R&B is all about
Maxwell and Luther Vandross @ celestius
Don't forget he's FINE!
Amazing voice, R.I.P.
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?
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.

His follow-up album, Trey Day, spawned his first top 20 single, "Can't Help but Wait". Songz released his third album ...read more. 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.
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.
Trey Songz has so much sex appeal, it is unbelievable. That along with his singing ability would propel him to number one for me.
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, Trey Songz, Ne-YO and the other NEW talent of today STILL can't TOUCH TEVIN!

He has a lot of meaning in his songs you know? He has some deep history I would recommend listening to his old songs he's epic.
He's alright, but not that great.
The Weeknd has had many experience before that I’m having right now so his music hits me hard because the lyrics are just to real to me that sometimes I don’t want to do anything but go on a drive or stay home and just listen and study his music
