[nadlemz]

[AllWillFail]

THAT VOICE

[wowTROLOLOLOL]

Lol



[TheOnlyDavidMichael]

SHUT UP. R KELLY Kills it but Is that Adele?? Hells yes. That is Adele in the background OMG.

[hybridlionable]

@TheOnlyDavidMichael I was thinking the same thing. Like, "Hmm this is pretty good by R. Kelly...hey wait, was that Adele???"

[arsenalmanic]

the main R&B male singer of the past few decades. So many classic tunes

[Wayne2300]

AWESOME!!

[TheJaKeTaUsTiNfAn1]

R Kelly KILLED it!

[MScotting]

I want to watch space jam now.

[Leinard04]

I mean no disrespect and i'm definitely NOT being a racist. But it's very rare that i get to like black male artists. Coz most of them sing about nothing but nonsense. But this man is pure talent. Usher, Babyface, R.Kelly are very some of the real the talents in this generation's black artists.

[RayMagic12192]

@Leinard04 what the fuck are you talking about you racist trash there are alot of talented black musicians just because you don't like all black style does not mean you disrespect it like all whites are talented and blacks are not you racist trash blacks played an important roll on music in terms of rock n roll and others so take that racist shit somewhere else

[wbooker10]

@Leinard04 Go suck some dick he don't need your ( he's ok for a black guy ) love. . Most white musicians you call legends today stole alot of Black People music and style ,Elvis for one ,you fool. (look it up)

[SantoriniGoon]

He's a beast

[ZayZayLuchiano]

did yall notice this is a different version then the other one from the same show... it sounds more raw this one....

[thiagoegizii]

[charmstar2010]

[tigrantiko]

[michaelblum1]

[swiftroll]

R KELLY > ADELE

ENOUGH SAID

she isn't even in the same league as him.

hoLLa

[capperhead1]

[GeneralGhost]

R.Kelly is one of the most talented brothas of all time.

[blackcactuz]

who the hell dislike this video??? he's amazing!

i was like ..damn that girl looks a lot like Adele, then I see the credit and went like oh it's Adele oops

[MC071951]

Its ok and not filled with all that shrill arpegeo up & down & back up again the scales that so many of his ilk seem to fill their songs with.Like they were goosed mid breath.Can Gloria Gaynor or Aretha Franklin do a more upbeat version with a fuller sound????

[finnmaster]

how many songs did he perform on Jools Holland ?

[Muerta06]

@finnmaster he performed 4 songs and did WAWL and this song twice

[finnmaster]

@Muerta06 thanks 

[bennyboyrobbo]

There aren't many times you can hear the audience applaud during a song on Later.... So when they do, you know you've heard something special.

[mashshro]

[tookiecharlii]

@IknowwhosIam ok lol that makes me feel alot betta :)

[freddiem73]

I'm not an R Kelly fan but fuck me that is an unbelievable performance

[1twelveplay2]

You know when I started watching this my mouth was shut. it started getting more and more open as the video was playing though bcause this must be one of the greatest live performances ever

[XxGracynXx]

Auto tune annoys me...singers sound wayyy better with out something mixing their natural voices up.

But then again...thats just me.

[Angelgirl23457]

ME my bestfriend use sing this on the playground befor he died in caracctcent by adrunk dirver rip will miss u home boy I'll see u soon

[arsenalmanic]

been big fan of R.Kellys from the early 90s

[mashinebenz]

NOW THIS IS MUSIC! Not the shit that's on the radio these days!! Music for the soul...What a performer.

[wbooker10]

what year was this?

[Merrylikechristmas]

@wbooker10 the beginning of this year.2011

[wbooker10]

The king of R and B .

[LuvLei143]

He absolutely nailed it. In a word... amazing.

[jleer1]

He is an amazing singer, especially as he can perform live as well as in a recording studio. It takes a strong person to do that. And to have a voice as great as his singing such inspirational lyrics gives me goosebumps. Simpily wow!

[mittu66]

why did he have to take that piss!?...

[jose060789]

I'm Mexican and I can honestly say that this is better than most Mexican music I've heard in my life. Song is so powerful and has a lot of meaning to it that it makes me feel like I can do anything.

Two thumbs way up for Robert Kelly, true inspiration.

[me1we1]

its sounds like he is saying " I Believe I Can Fly"

[pandaberen1985]

he can sing live !! not many singer can

[leedsbulldog]

Not many people can sing Live - and wow can Robert Kelly or what - Personally I don't think people should be allowed to mime on Television to promote their 'Music' - Cheryl Cole & Brittany Spears Spring straight to mind. This is without doubt one of the most outstanding live performances I have ever seen & heard - Made me tingle

[RilanaJ]

his voice sounds deeper, but still love hi sound. ;-)

[RilanaJ]

his voice sound deeper, but still love hi souns. ;-)

[music6466]

2 of 2: i have written a play that my goal is to have made into a movie. i want to send him the script cause i would love if he would work with me by produceing the sound track. this script is HOT!!! and i am not just saying that but it IS. i am a talented writer and just want the one opportunity to present for review. i dont know what his next project is but do u think it is possible and how can i just have him look it over? I would not waste this King's time this jewel i hold

[jo12jo12]

THE MASTER at his art..I saw him back in 95 and then again this year in April. The man gets better with age..if thats possible! He gives me goosebumps on my goosebumps and never fails to take me to that point in his love songs that just makes me cry with pure adoration of a voice that CANNOT be replicated. He is a lovely man and for all the haters who take great pleasure in trying to bring these icons down..(just like MJ)..they will live wey after you have gone...Luv ya Kells :0)X

[pokemon9505]

He's a beautiful man, FUCK ALL OF YOU HATERS! I respect this man soo much for all the shit hes had to go through

[RKellyKingofRandB]

@pokemon9505 I love you for this comment. 

[Jbpc9]

how come theres two different performances of this song on the same show on the same night? Is the other one a rehearsal or something? (video is by Elias1W, found on the bar to the right)

[RKellyKingofRandB]

@Jbpc9 He performed on the show different nights.

[NWO600]

Amazing. Great song. From back in the day.

[music6466]

I LOVE WHEN ROBERT TAKES OFF HIS SHADES AND YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE THOSE SEXY EYES. IF YOU LOOKCLOSE YOU SEE THE WINDOWS TO HIS SOUL, SUCH AN HONOR

[RKellyKingofRandB]

@music6466 I agree!!! He's so shy and doesn't like when people look into his eyes.

[music6466]

@RKellyKingofRandB I must ask for your advice on this one. Several yrs back when he rolled with George Daneils, he would have Kels come sign his albums. My girl and i would show up with 2 dozen long stem roses, 20 red balloons and a teddy bear, just to let him know we adored him and we honored a king. Now, its been sometime ago since we seen him cause i moved to Hamilton, Ohio where stars like him dont come. i have hoped that one day he would cause i want to ask this of him. 1 of 2

[JimmyJrock]

This was nothing less than perfection. He absolutely sang his heart out, with the absolute approval of Adele in the background blown away.

[Scor3keeper]

Rubbish.



[FuckdasketsHOPassass]

@jimistixxxx Are you deaf?

[S4HTV]

Amazing.

[adeemma]

for flip sake the man is telented.

[ForeverErica]

Jools Holland just went to church, and all he needed was R. Kelly. Wow. What a voice my nigga was blessed with. He needs to bring it like this more often.

[arkpal1208]

Fantastic performance, he was totally into the song and delivered period.

[Origianlz]

He's Back :')

[MrGymandtonic]

now that is a performance!

just excellent

[simonty]

@MrGymandtonic You spelt pedophile wrong... "now that is a pedophile!"

[joannepsi]

@simonty "Paedophile" is the correct, English spelling of the word.

[lakvir18]

there are no words in the dictionary to describe how talented this man is!

wow...just WOW!!!!

[RUBNTV]

@lakvir18 real real real real real i listened to r-kelly when i was a kid til' now.....

[HabteUK]

OMGGGG Kelz on Jools Holland??? What beautiful random-osity is this?? Big up to Jools for bringing him out of the archives on a proper music show like that. Kelz still vocalising the shit out of songs. And taking it to Church in an MJ Thriller red jacket. All that was missing was the zippers. LOL! Boss!

And dead @ him flapping and gliding about at the end there like he's coming to land in a G-450.

[bithume14]

Needs to come back with more live performances, very talented.

[icemandef]

Adele should have joined in on this!

[Born2Youtubification]

ahahaha 2:56 to 3:00 WING FLAP. Alternatively press 8 repeatedly...

[ThoseDirtyWords]

Nice wing flapping at the end.

[SoulfullySweet]

Epic performance

[DarrenDarko75]

W O N D E R F U L ! The guy is just superb... this is what singing and performing is about.

[tomoutlane]

AMAZING, One of the best live vocals ever.

[anchorrot]

very diffrent comments on here oh well just go show people have diffrent tastes

well whatever...... but it was a super performance

[mistercamee]

If anyone put's thumbs down on this clip, they're obviously deaf. Coz this dude can vocalise. Amazing!!!'

[bowkernator]

best live performer on the planet

[iRunThisJointUpInLDN]

@bowkernator One of the best live performers. try Maxwell or Craig David. all in that same callibre

[Chrosome]

@bowkernator s

I think he's defenitely one of the greatest song writers, but i think the best performer is still Michael Jackson !!!

[OprahWanabe]

A truly AMAZING performance. Goose bumps and everything!!!

[TheHatedHater]

A living legend. What a breath taking performance.

[RuairiDeFaoite]

Watching that performance last night on Jools nearly made me sick!

What was that sh*t and what was it doing on Jools?

His Sam Cooke was excellent then they finished the show with that sick song, wretch...

[MarkChapeau]

@RuairiDeFaoite nah he was brilliant

[Muerta06]

Ripped it!
