is fantasia soul? |
I think she's a very soulful singer, I personally don't consider her songs to be soul though.
Do you consider her soul? If so, why/why not?

Agreed, anyone of any race has the potential to sing
soul. But there's a huge difference between mimicking "the great ones"
and bringing your own form of "stank" to put on the genre. One shouldn't
be getting attention just for being non-black and singing soul music.

Raphael Saadiq.
I don't care about an artist's skin colour. There are artists who I consider to be soul singers but I won't even go there because I'm not trying to be stoned.

 @ both artists.
Bonnie Raitt embarrassed the hell out of everybody who sang after her at the Grammy's a year or 2 ago.

I always put him in the neo soul category along with Meshelle N'dgeochello, Erika, Angie Stone the likes. Please share you artist, no stoning from me.
