Motorola should return to the competition to balance the situation
 
 
Sad to know that this American company is dying out in smartphone market

@Mildgyth  
It is, three number one songs and a Top 20 hit.

@ILoveMyoozik  
I think it mostly got popular due to being an old school R&B which a lot of 30+ people prefer over the EDM/Hip Hop influenced R&B

@Broken Adam  
That album wasn’t R&B, that was pop.

@ILoveMyoozik  
It was both

@Broken Adam  
No it wasn’t, it’s pop with a soul edge to it. There was nothing R&B about it.

@ILoveMyoozik  
Soul is a R&B genre …..  
I am using the old school definition of R&B

@Broken Adam  
No, soul and R&B are completely different.
 
My point is Adele isn’t R&B in the slightest, she’s always been pop.

@ILoveMyoozik  
Soul evolved out of Old School R&B….

@Broken Adam  
At this point, I’m starting to doubt your musical “knowledge”, cause that’s not true.

@ILoveMyoozik  
I am not sure if you understand what I am saying

@Broken Adam  
No, what you’re saying isn’t true, R&B came out of soul, NOT the other way around. You don’t understand what I’M saying.

@ILoveMyoozik  
It depends, before Rock got popular it used to mean all Blues influenced music
 
Your point is true from 60’s onwards

@ILoveMyoozik
 
I think he was referring to the rhythm & blues that was around in the 40s and 50s rather than the contemporary one.

@Broken Adam  
You’re forgetting that jazz and swing were also a thing.
 
@Mildgyth  
I wouldn’t call that R&B really, it was still more blues like. Even then, that doesn’t mean that Adele is R&B.

@ILoveMyoozik  
Why do you think so many British Rock bands insisted on being called R&B bands?

@Broken Adam  
Where did you hear this? Also, they were inspired by the blues.

“The customer is always right” is and will always be a bullshit philosophy.

@ILoveMyoozik  
The term “rhythm and blues” has undergone a number of shifts in meaning. In the early 1950s, it was frequently applied to blues records.[4] Starting in the mid-1950s, after this style of music contributed to the development of rock and roll, the term “R&B” became used to refer to music styles that developed from and incorporated electric blues, as well as gospel and soul music. In the 1960s, several British rock bands such as the Rolling Stones, the Who and the Animals were referred to and promoted as being R&B bands; posters for the Who’s residency at the Marquee Club in 1964 contained the slogan, “Maximum R&B”.[5] Their mix of rock and roll and R&B is now known as “British rhythm and blues”. By the 1970s, the term “rhythm and blues” changed again and was used as a blanket term for soul and funk. In the 1980s, a newer style of R&B developed, becoming known as “contemporary R&B”. It combines rhythm and blues with elements of pop, soul, funk, hip hop, and electronic music.

It technically is supposed to refer to stores carrying things that suit a customer’s taste, rather than bending over backwards to accommodate a customer’s every whim as it’s morphed into now.
