I agree that Gideon was very good! Not saying that Gideon is R&B cuz he was just soulful, but seems that there are less and less R&B'ers like Ruben who flopped after AI was over. This is strange since there are SOO many R&B'ers who try out. Could be that the R&B-hip hoppers cannot usually sing regularly well, prolly. Seems like they are going more and more towards the ballad singers and/or rockers which I personally like much better
