It's not that he can't sing- he has a very pleasant singing style actually, but I find that for the most part the songs he writes for himself are nowhere near as interesting as his interpretations of other people's tunes. His writing is very cliched to me. I remember hearing him do a version of Moody's Mood a few years back and being surprised that it was him. His interpretations of stuff like Love Is, When We Were Kings, Crazy Love and some of his jazz covers run circles around his own compositions.

He did a remake of Moody's Mood? George Benson sang that. That song is on his Give Me The Night album. I like Brian's Anytime song. That song sounds like Meshell N'dgecello's Outside Your Door song. Brian's brother Claude is in the group Take 6. Did you know that JamesAnthony?

I like Brian McKnight...especially one of his biggest songs, "Back at One"

Yeah, I knew that. Anytime sounds an awful lot like a George Howard tune called Do I Ever Cross Your Mind. I'm surprised George Howard's people didn't sue Brian McKnight.

I like him and his singing. He keeps it real and is consistant with his material. My cousin met him in person and thought he was arrogant. So his recent divorce isn't a surprise.

I love Brian McKnight. He is a current Motown artist. I like his songs:

1. "Back at One"
2. "One Last Cry"
3. "Superhero"
4. "Let Me Love You"
5. "6-8-12"

You should pick up Brian McKnight's new CD for Motown called "Gemini". It's at record stores now. You should get it! I like to get his CD soon.
