Really, Is It That Hard Out There?

I came across this pic of R&B singer Avant at a club recently.

Now Avant was never a looker to me, but I liked his music and I think he's cool, but dammit if he don't look rough these days. Abnormally small eyes, no?

I don't know what it is about the R&B game that effs up so many male artists. I'm hard pressed to think off the top of my head anyone who has weathered the industury and remained decent to the present except for Sisqo.

D'Angelo started to retain water and started wrecking vehicles.
K-Ci licks crack pops and Jo Jo's ass is passing out on stages.
El Debarge has his own cot at central lockup.
Lyfe Jennings kicks down people's doors and still refuses to comb that nappy beard.
And so on and etc.


This is a challenge to you lovelies to add +25 points to your standing if you can answer this:

Name a male R&B singer who emerged, became successful and has managed to make it to the present without becoming, you know, fucked to the up?
