liquiddiamonds Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) I dont understand why not a male performer that actually fits her style and audience. It’s like she’s ignoring every alt-R&B thing that made her interesting with Halle to become a derivative revival of a 2000s radio singer, minus the bops. There are successful males like Miguel and Lucky Daye right there that would actually fit her brand , bring attention, without alienating her fanbase even further and she picks someone or has someone picked that will most likely fail to give her a hit Edited February 16, 2023 by liquiddiamonds
Billionaire Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) The Weeknd would've been a perfect choice if they wanted to get a popular act who could get great radioplay Even Usher like some people are saying here. Hell even Khalid or Lucky Daye or some **** Edited February 16, 2023 by Billionaire

Sscorpionn Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 3 hours ago, simon said: Also for general clarification As someone from Atlanta, GA - almost every female in the Urban community listen to Chris Brown. He has back to back to back #1 Urban radio singles. He just had one of the biggest streaming singles of the year (which is still Top 5 on the Apple Music R&B chart). He just want on a sold out tour with Lil Baby (and no one ridiculed him for working with Chris). But whenever the R&B girls work with him - everyone hates Chris Brown again and Blame the girl. It’s really just an observation. Lil baby is a high profile gang member who brags about murder. His fan base doesn’t give a damn about Chris brown’s history of domestic abuse. Most R&B girls have a fan base made up primarily of gay black men and black women who are way more vocal against artists like Chris. And before you bring up Chris brown’s majority female fan base, the black women who listen to him are not the ones who listen to the likes of Chloe and Normani.

The same people that dislike him aren't the same people streaming his songs Yet his songs reached top 10 (or even higher?) on the charts this year, which means that the majority of music listeners are okay with supporting and listening to Chris Brown. But suddenly it's a problem for a female artist to collaborate with him. Not to mention countless R&B girls have done it before
Mtjjproducer Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Honestly as much as I hate Chris he is the best choice for a male collab for her. he does well on streaming, his songs do well on TikTok. While I would MUCH rather her work with usher I don’t think it would sell as well. Chris out sells usher these days. Also have ushers latest collabs done well. Chris just had like 3 viral songs on TikTok in the last year. she isn’t big enough to get a weeknd feature. Lucky day really isn’t that big as a crossover artist. So Chris is the best option tbh
EnoughSaid Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Everyone on Twitter crying but watch this be her first single to chart since Have Mercy. I don’t even like Chris but the twitter people are a joke

EnoughSaid Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 But at the same time Chloe clearly did this deliberately for the controversy so she’s desperate

How is it inaccurate? When I said R&B girls, I’m not referring to the likes of Beyoncé, Janet, Mariah etc but to the new girls like Chloe and Normani who haven’t crossed over yet.

Charting top 10 means popularity relative to other songs, even a No. 1 song doesn't necessitate a majority (51% +) of music listeners liking said song. Similarly how political parties in the UK can win elections with only 30% of the vote. Beyond that ATRL is not the majority of music listeners, so I'm not sure why there's confusion. People here do not like Chris Brown lol Edited February 17, 2023 by Otter

lovely88 Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Chris brown really has a chokehold on these r&b girls. He’s still a big force in r&b so I guess it makes sense though. This is a total record label move. Edited February 17, 2023 by lovely88

ToraeGilt Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 I feel like Brent faiyaz would’ve been the best choice for her. His last album did better than Chris if I’m not mistaken plus he’s a lot more palatable to Chloe’s base…

They could have served a toxic R&B anthem

The black women who listen to Chloe & Normani definitely listen to Chris Brown - probably 1 to 1. Chloe & Normani make regular R&B bops (Treat Me, Have Mercy, Wild Side, Fair) - and is targeting the same girls who listen to Chris Brown casually. As mentioned - this move is just off-brand for her but I also don’t like this trajectory of “career killing” the R&B girls after they work with Chris Brown - while anyone else and Chris Brown himself, keep throwing out hit after hit.

sxmescudi Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 it’s 2023 and people still acting like Chris is a m*rderer or something no one cares in real life but i guess it’s a cool thing to hate him online he’s super talented so i’m sure the song will be a bop

One of my homegirls from work is a HUGE fan, and I can’t help but feel like it’s off because she’s a survivor of domestic violence herself.
sweetkiss Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 i cant add anything to this because im white and listen to chloe and normani, but not chris brown (not even before and def not later when he openly abused women)
