I doubt anyone else even knows that it was Jamie Foxx with the vocals.

She totally did. Might as well call it Ari&B now.

She never really was full on R&B, her songs have elements of other genres So I'd say no, if were looking for artists who revived R&B I'd say The Weeknd, Miguel, Tinashe, around those lines. Ari's music mixes genres, it mainly forms of pop with R&B, sometimes EDM and hip-hop

Because if you had, you would know that I'm NOT delusional, and actually came correct, something you did not. Oh, and for the record, I was asking about Ariana's impact, not mine. Can we try to stay on topic?

Since when have people seen Ariana Grande as an R&B artist???
Well... she DID help The Weeknd get his first Top 10 as a featured artist. And The Weeknd DID sort of "save" R&B in 2015, so I guess in a round about way you could say she had a hand in saving it for a while.

Well, I've got news for you: people didn't think the earth was round at first, but look how that turned out. And honestly, if Ariana was getting so many R&B hits before The Weeknd got, like, three, then wouldn't she have saved the genre and not him? I mean, you basically said that one yourself.

But she's not a pure R&B artist. She is a pop artist with R&B elements in her music, as well as other genres, not to mention she is not considered an R&B artist in any circle. Even though R&B-inspired sounds somewhat seem to be back, actual R&B artists (that aren't The Weekend, or to a small extent Jeremih) are still struggling to get attention in the mainstream. Therefore, she did not save the genre.

It's like you're faulting her for being multi-talented and tackling several genres. Please keep these useless personal attacks out of this thread, and try to post actual facts founded on actual evidence.

I think she diversified R&B AND Soul by having such a rich, powerful voice, and simultaneously being rail thin for those who don't remember Mariah Carey's size 0 days or Whitney Houston. Now skinny chicks of all backgrounds no longer have to worry about being passed over for their voluptuous counterparts, and Vegan singers don't have to risk high blood pressure for recognition.

I love how OP posted this in "your opinion please", yet harshly rejects any other opinion that doesn't totally agree with them.

He's not rejecting them, merely correcting to inform the individual that their opinion is factually incorrect (like denying climate change), and setting them off on a more #blessed path.

He's not correcting anyone, just antagonizing anyone who doesnt think Ariana Grande "saved R&B". And unlike climate change, these are all matters of opinion. I hope this put you down a more #blessed path.

Of course she did! She saved rap too, as her features have helped to bring the once dead genre back to the mainstream. :)

What does any of this have to do with Ariana Grande, a multi-platinum international icon and gay/straight ally, and her unprecedented revival of R&B?

Azalea Banks is no ally of male who is into other malesgot. 8 have her twitter receipts. The flaming French Fry was right about you. I hope they dump your rotten carcass in the Mississippi River hoe bag

Has there ever been a woman named Azalea (in any spelling) worth a damn?
