I think R&B is not supported as much anymore, groups and solo artists. Generic pop songs are played on radio all the time and people do not want soulful music. I think someday there will be a comeback of R&B if popular artists such as Usher, Rihanna and Beyonce (who is already doing it) release R&B and not follow the crowd and release generic pop.

I really hope R&B will become more popular like it was in the '80's and '90's.
