Who Is The King Of R&B???

As much as some may hate to admit it (including me) Beyonce is by far the Queen of R&B. Though there are a lot of female artist that have tried to come for her crown, only to look stupid in the process. Other than the fact that either she completely doesn't care or just ignores them, she truly is on a whole different level.
Ciara and Keri Hilson are two of many that have had there choice of word for the "Single Ladies" singer. But what made these two stand out is the fact that they both decided to make their words public; and going as far as spending the energy to record dis records.
And even as I type, I think to myself, many rappers have done the same, but for a female R&B artist to do so wasn't the best look for their careers. You may dislike or even hate her but it is what it is.

Which brings me to the point of this post. Usher in his "Yeah" days was no doubt the king of R&B. He had the dance move and singing ability, not to mention the sex appeal to raise above the rest. His relationship with Chille of TLC, only helped "Confession" become one of the best selling albums of all time.
But with his marriage to Tameeka Foster and his last album not performing well even with his fans, his swagga has seem to fade to say the least. Although I see what he was trying to do with his last album, I was not surprised that it couldn't accomplish the same.
We all know very well by now what Chris Brown's reason is for not being at the top of the line for the crown. His trouble doesn't at this point need to be repeated.
At first I felt, if he completely disappeared it would be okay for him. But he just started doing that with his noticeable absence from this years Grammys.
And there are other names such as Omarion and other I can't even remember which is not good for them.
UPDATED: I just thought of some, J Holiday, The Dream, Jamie Foxx,Trey Songz, Maxwell and Ray J).
And lastly we have Mario. He has had some really good albums in the past which I bought, but some reason his shine is always duller than the rest (tho I'm not sure why.) "Break Up" was a hot song, don't lie...


So my question to you is...Who IS The King Of R&B???
