$5 - Eric Benet....see $1
$10 - Jamie Foxx - I've loved you since forever, but the fact that you only date "certain" girls irks me...you can sing prince songs for me all night!!!
$20- Usher - You've really gone down in the polls since 2004, but still one of my favorites!
$50 - Tyrese - always been my eye candy and you can sang!! (notice a trend here?)

penny - Anyone in the Wu-Tang group..
nickel - Spike Lee
dime - Yin Yang Twins
