A lot of people above are making comments about "white soul singers" and them "trying to be black" but maybe if we supported our black r&b soul artists more, these singers who are "trying to be black" (as stated) wouldn't be dominating the genre alone. Instead all i see on here are comments filled with hate and "flop" and "irrelevant"when the fact of the matter is most of those "irrelevant flops" are right up there with Sam smith and Adele vocally and if not, they are vocally superior. Luke James and Jazmine sullivan are a perfect example. Listen to their voices, stream an album or something...
