Freestyle Artists can't sing!!??

[CultureKlashJEFF]

I've seen this on here & other sites before, and recently got "into it" with someone. Unfortunately, many of the folks saying this are fans themselves! -lol
I beg to differ, & I don't care what ANYONE says, artist from the Freestyle genre (or that started in the Freestyle/80's Club-Dance genre) are some of the best vocalists ever.

You're tryna' tell me NAYOBE can't sing!??
Lisa Lisa, Taylor Dayne, George Lamond, Tony Moran, Judy, Brenda K, TKA, India, Shannon, Safire, Jaidie, Luis Damon, Marc Anthony, Joyce Simms, Voyce, Arlene, Noel, Sequal, Gioia from Expose', (actually ALL the girl groups had quality singers), etc, etc, can't sing!!?? -JOCELYN ENRIQUEZ??- U gotta be f*kn' kiddin' me!

These people are obviously deaf & dn't know sh*t about music or great vocalists. These artists (& many I failed to mention), would blow many of todays artists out of the water.

And don't get me started on those Arthur Baker-ish records -lol
(with Loleatta Halloway, Jenny Burton, Siedah Garrett, Carol Lynn Townes, Fonda Rae, Audrey Wheeler, etc) And although not Freestyle per se', Starpoint's RENEE' DIGGS had some of the best slamming vocals I've ever heard! (May she R.I.P.)

I know it's an old topic, but I had to vent, lol.

These are the same 80's people that think Joan Jett can outsing Nayobe or Ozzy Osborne sounds better then George Lamond .... These are the same people that are in your way all the time during daily life and piss you off. You can't take them seriously, they just don't know any better ...
Also many so called fans were not of the classic freestyle era or were isolated is certain areas of the country. Many just heard the bottom feeder songs and not much else.
