Do you guys think Abel has underlying emo vibes like Evanescence or Linkin Park?

Sometimes I feel like he could do an amazing rock album

So I just watched this video of Cam Newton talking to this man named Eric, and he asked him if Abel could sing. Eric started talking about how Abel accused Usher of stealing his song, which I remember, and he actually said Usher's song Climax sounded like a House Of Ballons song, to which then the producer of the song came out and admitted he was indeed inspired by Abel.

I'm not particularly sure what that instance has to do with Abel singing, but anyway, Eric basically said Abel sounds like a billy goat and that he doesn't have the range like Usher, and I just think that's silly. I grew up on Usher; he's very talented, but in my opinion, Abel could sing Climax, and I'm not sure why R&B greats treat Abel like he hasn't influenced the sound of music since he dropped House Of Balloons. I mean, the album itself doesn't sound like a standard R&B album, but it is R&B.

I don't know, Eric, I saw he's written a lot of hits and sings backup, he's even on tour with Usher and Chris right now, and I just think he's being biased. I could also be being biased right now but I'd never say Usher can't sing, he makes good music, he was just butthurt he took inspiration from a rookie album and Abel called it out which is just wild to me cause practically everyone is inspired by Michael or Prince and proudly admit this so why is it far fetched artist that have been in the game for years can be inspired by new sounds new artists bring in?

Idk, it's a subjective topic but from the short clip, it didn't look like Cam fully agreed with Eric lol
