[edit] Badly written
"This combination of R&B style and hip hop rhythms was termed new jack swing, and was applied to artists such as Keith Sweat, Guy, Jodeci, Bell Biv DeVoe, and the popular late 1980s/early 1990s work of Michael Jackson"
R&B style? What part of R&B style? This could mean vocals, melodies, lyrics, rhythm, percussion etc. It's not specific. It's really confusing.--148.197.5.18 18:01, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Good intentions, need to be rewritten with more verifications
Nice facts, probably needs to be a subcategory rather than an article. Some things aren't clear - but it does define what contemporary R&B is about. However additonal sources may need to be added.
Of the five I read regarding the genres of R&B/Soul - this is the best article so far. Brown Eyed Soul - needs plenty of work... Blue Eyed Soul - needs work.... Soul Music - Some questions need to be resolved... Rhythm & Blues - Dubious list furnished.... Contemporary R&B - Good facts - just need very little work to make it a better article.
Regarding the previous post. A way to write it would be "Hip-Hop played a greater part in shaping the rhythms of contemporary R&B beginning in the late 80's with the "New Jack Swing." Mostly a creation of producer of Teddy Riley... It found its way through hits by Michael Jackson, Bell BivDeVoe, Jodeci, Keith Sweat, Boy George, Tony! Toni! Tone!, Guy and Blackstreet.
I wonder if this would be somewhat clearer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.148.232 (talk) 06:14, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adding Artist Examples under the 2000s
I think it is a good idea if use Artists who have popularity in the USA and Worldwide and have actually shaped modern R&B, so please not add people like Darin Zanyar, who is not well known or has not made any cultural impact in the genre. Caribbean1 (talk) 16:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Neo soul
Are you sure Neo soul ios a fusion genre and not a sub-genre of Contemporary R&B? Netrat_msk (talk) 12:27, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
