Frank Ocean Perfroms "Bad Religion" on Jimmy Fallon

About this time a decade ago, if you said that you were shot a bunch of times likes 50 cent, you automatically garnered a lot of press.

My have times change.

When Frank Ocean discussed his sexuality on his Tumblr, his announcement created a new paradigm between artist and audience.

This is not to say that Ocean was hoping that his reveal would give him publicity, but overnight Frank Ocean's name is more topical than it was two weeks ago.

I wonder if more artists will follow suit. Not to reveal that they are gay, but to open themselves up open and honestly?

R&B was like that once, until more of its stars followed the sexual playbook of R. Kelly. However, the one thing that Chris Brown and others dropped was the vulnerable side of Kells.

Here's hoping that Frank Ocean musicality and openness will create a new wave of R&B, where its OK being just who you are.
