Is Brian Looking For A Comeback?

(ThyBlackMan.com) Brain McKnight is a sexy and talented balladeer that leaves some women grinning from ear to ear after hearing his melodic songs as he performs on stage.  Since coming on the scene in 1992 with the release of his first self-titled album Brian McKnight, McKnight has recorded numerous other chart toppers.

Brian McKnight is a multi-talented musician, songwriter, producer and of course a smooth crooner.  He plays various instruments such as the piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums, percussions and other instruments.

So why did Brian McKnight post a You Tube video about a woman’s private area? He says that he has thought about recording an adult mix tape so he came up with If You’re Ready to Learn. If You’re Ready to Learn expresses how bad he felt for women that are in unsatisfying relationships.

According to TMZ.com he came up with the video parody in order to kill  time.  He was healing from surgery on his Achilles tendon. He said “I’ve been home for a month… I’ve got this boot on my foot… I’m having fun because basically I have nothing else to do.

Some of his listeners did not appreciate this move, but apparently the adult entertainment industry thinks differently. Brian McKnight became the hottest thing in adult entertainment. TMZ learned, the singer was asked to perform his new X-rated song at the OSCARS OF PORN … aka the AVN awards.

But McKnight isn’t in a hurry to chomp at the porn bit — telling TMZ, “I don’t know what specifically I will do with this track in the future … and I don’t see myself ever performing it live, but I am flattered that people have embraced it and are having as much fun with it as I am.”

Now I’m wondering what happened to the love songs that made you cry. I always said if I could have any artist to sing at my wedding it would be Brian McKnight.  Maybe I’ll need him for the honeymoon instead.  Now will this stop me or others from listening to Brian McKnight and no longer buy his music?  Did it shut down the careers of Michael Jackson, Chris Brown or R Kelly?  Of course not! I still love his music. I’ll just look at this as one of those tracks on the CD that I skip over.

Just as one You Tube viewer questioned, has Brian sung himself right out of a BET Life Time Achievement Award?  Who knows only time will tell on that one.

I can see some other R and B artist singing this type of song, but not Brian. Brian if you are desperate for a comeback, even though I never realized that you were ever gone, I would love for you to get back to writing those beautiful songs that you are known for.  If you do that you’ll do just fine. Your loyal fans and those that love your music would appreciate it.
