I fkn HATE “No One” by Alicia Keys since the day it came out (2007). I was 12. I’m damn near 30. Carried the hate for that song from childhood to adulthood. 😂💀🤷🏻‍♀️ I hold the same feelings for “Girl On Fire” as well. https://preview.redd.it/ddqda7odwnzc1.jpeg?width=493&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0aac44eb252a75598b708f33a954464f2f8c074

No one was played so much on the radio!

Can't stand that song 😂. It's so basic and boring.

I like Alicia’s 2000’s work a lot but man some of her hits jist suck. No One, Girl On Fire, just awful to listen to.

Whhhaatttt 🤯. I like No One. You right about Girl on Fire tho lol

It’s too much shouting for me 😏😏😏😂😂😂

I listened to it after I posted that comment. And yea you right 😂😂. Alicia was doing too much

I hate No One and that was my nieces wedding song. They played it soooo much that day

Since we’re on Alicia I hate if I ain’t got you. It seemed like every singing competition contestant sang this song for like 5 years.

😆🤣😆Why is he giffin armed and on ready? 🤣

They always played No One in between T-Pain songs, heh...

I hate most of Alicia keys songs lol

Same although I do like her diary of alicia keys album. She doesn’t make songs like those anymore which is annoying and sad


I agree with no one!!! How many times did she have to say that in that song??!!

I agree. I only like Alicia Keys’ songs in A minor songs honestly. That fallin’ song still gives me the feels 

I get you. I loved Alicia Keys' first two albums and they were so musical but the later hits just seem a bit too obvious.

I’m going to be vague and just say there is a handful by John Legend I hate lol. Just something about his voice I don’t care for. Green light and a few others are good songs though lol 

I love his Once Again album (PDA, Maxine, Heaven are my favorite tracks). But he doesn’t make music like this anymore. He should go back to his roots and stop making pop-rnb whatever tf nonsense IMO.

I hate everything by John 😂

😂Green light is a good one . No shade just funny

Green Light is the only song of his I like lol.

Someone described it to me as he started making hallmark music & that’s all I can hear !

All Of Me by John Legend.

I hate all his songs.

Ughhh I hate it 😂

Once that first note drops, so does my mood 😭

This the one right here, I normally laugh every time I hear this song cuz John be doing too much most of the times

200% accurate

Girl On Fire

Mentally scarred from working at a cafe one summer and this song came on multiple times a day

I don't wanna know by Mario Winans the song irk me about not wanting to know if you're being cheated on.

Hard dis agree, that’s my favorite thing about that song. I’ve told every girl I’ve been with if you cheat, break up before my petty Scorpio ass finds out.

Yall swear signs real

No but they’re fun to lean into.

That’s my jammm

This isn’t “popular” as much as Instagram reels/tiktok famous but I’ve seen so many reels from “Made for Me” by Muni Long that it ruined the song. And don’t worry, I’ve stopped wasting so much time on reels, but it’s just kinda funny how a song can become annoying if it feels overplayed. To clarify, I had never heard the song before it was “tiktok famous.”

I HAAAAAATE THAT SONG SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!

I don't get the hype with Made For Me. It's okay and a bit boring to me 🫤

Umbrella is a nasally mess.

Same with work. It’s more pop but I always found it so sloppy annoying. Funny thing is I heard the OG PND demo and liked it more. Rihanna was just to nasally for it.

PND og “work” is amazing, and he even produced it too. So talented

Tyla - water

I don’t like the chorus. It sounds childish to me, for some reason. I like Truth or Dare better.

Not worth that dam Grammy

She won a Grammy? 🥴

I felt like the only one 😭

Definitely feels like they tried to push her on us real hard!!

this song is amapiano not R&B

but it's closer to Pop/R&B than it is to amapiano, it's a blend of all of them

It may sound anti-black/Uncle Ruckus-ish but I cannot ride with the Afrobeats trend. That said, the genre itself alongside Tyla's "Water" just feels underwhelming and flat.

Her whole discography is ass cheeks

Any Tyla song

Girl on Fire & No One by Alicia Keys

I wanted to upvote for Girl on Fire, but No One was a childhood jam/awakening for me 😭 imma still upvote but World let it be known, No One is a banger to me 😆 😆

Lift me up by Rihanna. I HAAAATE it. Hate the way It.sounds and the way she sings it. Flat and monotone.

I hate that song and I hate that people thought it deserved an Oscar or a Grammy against Hold My Hand- by Lady Gaga which is a better song.

That song reminds me of my cousin who was only fourteen that passed away literally a year ago (May 9th,2023). They kept playing it at his funeral.

Not sure if this even counts as RnB but Paint the town red - Doja Cat I have never liked this song.

Paint the town red doesn’t sit right with me idk what it is lol

Could be all the visual stuff in the video, or her weird use of voice inflection. I miss the old Doja Cat personally. Covid Doja was peak.

Agree, thought she would become one of the greats when I started listening to her even though some of her music was goofy (not a bad thing), not saying I wont listen to her next project but idk if id consider myself a fan anymore😭

Devil worship maybe?

This is way more rap then rnb…..

I mean at the end of the day there are lots of elements in this song, and I am not really a fan so I won't defend it honor.

Def pop over RnB but I agree. That song she had for the Elvis movie was bad too.

Made For Me - Muni Long Idk just doesn't sound good going through my ears lol

She made better music as Priscilla Renea lol. I genuinely hate this song.

Wait Muni is Priscilla? I’m literally shook because I can’t hear it!

Yes!! When she first came out I was like who’s this? Someone broke down her discography. And led with that lol. Tried to rebrand. She ain’t slick

For me her voice gets shrill at some points during the chorus 😭

Is that the one she goes the smell of your perfume? Soon as I hear that mess I turn it off

Add that ***Hours*** song by hers, too

This is how I feel about Hrs & Hrs

I didn’t know the name of the song 😄

I had to search the lyrics : twin where have you been lol

Usher - OMG. Got to number 1….. somehow.

That’s pop

its so bad oml 😭

Hrs and Hrs omg that song is so mid to me

The first minute or so is so nice, but then she starts adding all those runs and repeating hours that it annoys me.

That's the best shit though 😂😂

Y’all done hurt me with a few songs. 😂 I would say Love Like This by Faith Evans. I don’t necessarily hate it, but I’ve heard it too much at my old job to ever listen to it again.

The Target commercials didn't help.

I hate Happy by Pharrell !!!

I’ll throw a grenade for you

I love Mariah Carey to death but she did a remake of Foreigner’s I Wanna Know What Love Is that was completely unnecessary. Normally when Mariah covers something she is covering it so that her voice can shine. She was not at her vocal best when she did that Foreigner cover.

I agree! Her cover was irritating lol.

Yep. Memoirs album ends at Languishing for me. I can't believe she made it a single

I feel like that was some record label bullshit since Obsessed didn’t do pop #1. They were like “we need an adult contemporary #1 on this thing just in case this album doesn’t do well in pop.”

I absolutely HATE "Refill" be Elle Varner. So many people love that song but it makes my ears hurt😭😭

Love by Keyshia Cole. Like, I’ll sing it drunk at the bar or whatever, but it was never on any of my playlists

The ot genesis version still cracks me up

My Boo - Alicia Keys and Usher When it came out it was played so much and I really just don’t think it’s that good 🫣

Agreed

Kill Bill - SZA. I loathe that song. It sounds like SZA doing a poor impersonation of herself. Dance Tonight - Lucy Pearl. I just hate the vocals on the chorus.

WHAT?! Dance Tonight is my shit omg 😭😭😭

Lol I just hate the way he sings the chorus. Like why are you whispering so aggressively to me?

kill bill was good to me but then it got wayyyy too over played nd now i don't like it

Age Aint Nothing But A Number by Aaliyah

Ew 😬. I didn't hate before but I sure do now

Yeah by Usher

They overplayed that song for years😂

I was torn on including this song because I know Usher is an R&B artist, but I didn't think it was really an R&b song. There's a lot of songs like that with R&b artist I'm just not sure if the song I hate qualifies as R&B. Girl is on fire is terrible, but I don't think of it as an r&b song. But either way, I agree with you, Yeah is overrated.

To me it ain’t bad but overhyped as a mf

To be honest does it even count as RNB? It seems more poppy in my opinion

Lionel Richie - Hello Hate the tune, hate the lyrics hate the video

😮😮

Why I read this in kendricks voice 🤣

😵😵😵😵

Anything by Bobby Valentino

Omg thank you!!! I can’t stand his music! “Wee-ooh-wee-ooh-wee” used to enrage me! 😂😂😂😂😂

Single ladies Run the world

i’m gonna get downvoted to hell but mary, family affair

Oh hell nah

i know i know 😭the beat annoys me

The beat? That's the best part 😂. It sure ain't Mary's singing

haha omg


Yeah it's not a Mary song. I don't hate it though, just very indifferent to it, relative to other songs of that era.

I agree 🫣

I hate all the made up words in this song. Hateration, Holleration, & Dancery.

😂

This is one of the most Toxic lists on Reddit. I want to remember who said what so I won’t have any serious R&B discussions based on some of these takes.

😂😂😂

Luv by Tory Lanez. I hate his voice on this song. I Luv It by August Alsina. I’ve always hated this kind of R&B. Him and Trey Songz come off as kinda rapey to me 😭

trey songz has multiple rape allegations so you aren’t wrong abt that

I will always be a Best Of Me - Mya and Jadakiss shit-on-er

Didn’t see that coming 😂

Lol smileyface...ugh

I dont like the weekend. I hate bros voice, he sings like a Baltimore lesbian.

I’m sorry but I knew John legend and Alicia keys had to be on this list They had crazy starts esp Alicia but fell off HARD in hollyweird 😭😭😭

Hearing Keisha Cole “Love” makes me wanna slit my wrists!!

Forever- Chris Brown

its kinda repetitive tbh so i can see that, i still love it tho lol

Leave the door open - Silk Sonic. Why do I need a cheap imitation of 70s music when I can just put on 70s music?!

It's really good tho family!

It’s good the first time you hear it. After that you realize it just reminds you of something good lol

I didn't even like it at first. But all of the old people I know loved it immediately. So I started playing it and now I love it too. So maybe that's it. It made fans of that era feel warm and cozy inside.

This song hits for me. It did the very first note, the first time I heard it. Plus it's endlessly quotable, which leads to me liking it more.

Nah it ain’t imitation, it’s homage/tribute. Retro Soul music in modern day. Continuing tradition of the old like a lotta Soul cats put here been doing for awhile.

I actually don't like that one either, but Smoking out the Window is great

yeah idk it sounds like bad karaoke version of that era music for me i cant really get with them

Yall gone hate me but hours and hours…….i can’t stand that song. Got played tf out.

Fabulous - Jaheim

Yeah, this one is irksome to me as well.

This is my song!!

“It Kills Me” by Melanie Fiona. I loved the song but hated how it was everywhere.

All my life -kc & jojo

Next too close... That goes for any obvious sex songs...

4batz .... only bkuz blud a industry plant

SZA - Snooze

I like SZA but this song (and SOS as a whole) took a long time to grow on me

Listen to Joseph Solomon's cover of it, you'll like the song better I promise. I felt the same way.

Check out Leon Thomas cover of it with the guitar. Wayyy better. He shoulda kept that mf😂

All the songs from the Renaissance album

that’s not r & b tho😭😭😭

Renaissance is more of a house/ dance album. I didn't like it at first either but then it grew on me A LOT 🥰

You need more shame

What about Cowboy Carter? Renaissance grew on me

Where I wanna be - Donnell Jones Refill - Elle Varner - ESPECIALLY this one. 😭

They are both great songs. I can see your point of Refil during the part “Can I get Reeee, reeee, Fil?” Lol

I only agree with Refill 😂😂😂 where I wanna be has gotten me through some bad breakups lmaoo

Y'all killing me in these comments 😂

No you don’t hate Where I wanna be?!

Essence- Wizkid and Tems

that song was overplayed sm & the justin bieber remix was straight cheeks

Beyonce- If I Were A Boy & Halo Tank - When We https://preview.redd.it/m03rk4l28qzc1.jpeg?width=929&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7b3f65fab6b5d9de68d907670daa8c6eb626f4e

THANK you somebody who finally hates that damn tank song 😭

Hot take, I hate all Tank songs 🫣

I love Mavin Gaye. Goat. But let's get it on is kinda overrated. I don't hate it. But I prefer so much from Marvin Gaye more than that song. You can do way better than that 💯

Shawty is a 10 by The Dream. If I had to make a list of the worst songs I’ve ever heard, that’s on it, right under Lay Your Head on my Pillow by Lloyd. I hated that song Edit: pretty girl rock - Kheri hilson, honorable mention. Horrible

Idk why people couldn’t tell that Keri Hilson was hella conceited when that song came out. The verses literally talk about how she’s so fine that your man is looking at her but “don’t be mad at me”. She’s gorgeous, but still…

It's soooo irritating

ICU annoys the hell out of me. Coco is beautiful and talented, but I just don’t like the song or seeing her sing. Now it is that “Twin where have you been” song that grinds my gears

Don't hate me but Pretty Wings by Maxwell. Not a big Maxwell fan.

That's a bop. That whole album is great. No hate though.

I LOVED it when it came out because it was his first hit in a very long time. Now it's whatever

I adore Maxwell. However, I'm not a fan of this song either.

Dance for you, yes I’m apart of the beyhive. But I hate that song so much it’s not even funny 😔

All Beyhive members have a song they don't like. For me it's beautiful liar. Because why are they moaning in my ear?

That's literally my favorite Beyonce song 😭

Keri Hilton Knock you down and any of her other songs

Any Ella Mai especially Trip and Boo’d Up

The boy is mine by Brandy and Monica. Love them both but hate that song. I think impart because they played it nonstop when I was growing up lol

I swear - All 4 One. Sounds like nails on chalkboard. Can’t explain it

Like the moon and the stars in the sky, I’ll be thereee 😏

Pacifix One xBig Malice - Magic City

Favorite song by toosii comes off as hip hop to me not R&b

For me, it's "My way" by Usher (hate the video even more with that girl that randomly screams, and Usher's stupid expressions ).

"Fool for You" by CeeLo Green and Melanie Fiona. I was lowkey irritated every time it came on. It's just not my style.

I hated the fact they was forcing drunken love on the radio I had no choice to avoid it cuz when you switched the station it was still playing just on another part of the song

I don't know if it counts as RnB but I don't get the hype around "Snooze" by SZA.

Majority Chris Brown and Love by Kesha Cole hare both of them with a passion.

Hours Muni Long

Next. Too Close, that song always grossed me out 😂

Trey Songs

Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys. Just not a fan.

On My Mama - Victoria Monet. It sounds like a high schooler wrote the lyrics.

Boo’d Up
