Battle of the Beats

Who Would You Rather 'Spend the Night' With? Rahsaan or Donell?

rahsaan_patterson_donell_jones.jpgRahsaan Patterson and Donell Jones are two of our most beloved artists here at SoulBounce. They remind us that male R&B isn't dead and that real singers are still out there, lest The Dream had you fooled. Both artists have put out consistently good material and built up huge followings since stepping into the soul arena in the mid-nineties. I'm hoping that fans of both will chime in on today's Battle of the Beats that features Rahsaan and Donell going head-to-head with their songs "Spend the Night." Quite frankly, both of these songs are tight in their own way; Rahsaan's with its mellow vibe and Donell's with its mid-tempo groove. I declare a draw, but have your say in the comments about who has the more compelling argument to have a sleepover.

You do not understand how much I played Rahsaan Patterson's record over and over and over again. This is one of my favorites, so I'm going with Rahsaan because I LOVED HIM FIRST ha ha.

Damn...okay...this really is difficult. Donell just SQUEAKS by!

Man that is such an HARD choice. Both these songs are stellar. Spend The Night by Rahsaan P is my favorite song by him. Hyper that reference about Rah was cold ( lol). You didnt have to go there. Donnell version is hot. It has been a minute since he released something I really enjoyed. My vote is Rahsaan. I seen this man LIVE many times he performs this song different everytime I see him. I cant say the say the same for D.

Rahsaan all day baby! That man can SANG!

Please what are you guys drinking, smoking, or inhaling.
Donnell, Donnell, you know he is really makin you moist. Whew! come baby come back (best prince darling nikki voice) I love D Jones
He has over come a lot (drug abuse and alcohol) know that we are here for you

like both. rahsaan's my fav.

im sorry but donell makes me FEEL like he wants it FORREEALLLLLLLL

YES!

Donell is so very.......um, he's my choice.

In Donell's dreams.... I only have room for Rahsaan!!! (virtually throwing panties on the stage!)

It's Battle of the Beats, not battle of the voices or melodies. The Donnell beat is sickening!! So' I'm going with Donell Jones.

rahsaan without question. one of my faves from him. i was just playing that yesterday ironically.

Donell is nice, I guess but dude can't stand in the same arena with Mr Rahsaan Patterson. Not really a contest. Not. Even. Close.

No question it goes to Rahsaan. Makes you wanna dance in place by yourself

Rahsaan gets my nod!

rrrrrrrrrahhhh!!

Rahsaan hands down on this one!

even though i don't think he spends the night with people like me (women...lol)--i definitely hafto concur with everyone else---it's all about RAHHHH!!!!

I semi stan for Rah. He got this hands down.

Rahsaan...No question!!!

Just the right amount of smoothness with Rahsaan. Gets me everytime.

love 'em both. but to answer your question directly, RAHSAAN!!

Rahsaan all day. His harmonies and arrangements are incomparable.
