@KAHARI, I'm not sure where you get your race based information on artist preference, but I am white and I have loved Keyshia from the start. So much so, that I bought two copies of her first album the day it dropped. It might be because I live in a State (MN) that is predominantly Caucasian, but I certainly don't see a color line on Keyshia's music. Sometimes the venue she performs at in MN affects the crowd mixture, but that happens with any artist. On last point, when is the last time you heard Rihanna or Mary J Blige use a falsetto? Not often, because that doesn't sell to the mainstream. The only true falsetto I can remember breaking through to mainstream in recent years is Robin Thicke (no, sorry The Dream Falsetto doesn't count). However, I understand where you are coming from; many of us miss the R&B falsetto's of the 90's with the likes of Maxwell , Jesse Powell, or even 112.
