@whayes8084 Wrong - nothing Michael Jackson EVER sang was pop - he was straight RnB and for some reason, majority America deemed him King of Pop..guess they didn't want to admit that RnB had them feeling that good???
@sloansv You're telling me Dirty Diana was RnB? And MJ called himself the King of Pop. He's the one who came up with the moniker. MJ's music was heavily influenced by Rock. So to call it straight RnB would be disingenuous. Billie Jean and Beat It are other examples.
@whayes8084 What is ''straight R&B'' ? Slt Stone, Isley Bros, Earth Wind and Fire, Labelle, P-funk, Rick James, Chic+ Prince are all considered R&B of the 70s and 80s +they were all heavily influenced by Rock--FYI created by 1950s Black R&B legends. Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry all played The Apollo on the reg. R&B today is formulaic but it used to be mad diverse, a tree of many branches. MJ always sang soulfully. Pop just means Top 40 play, not genre. No music school teaches Pop.
@whayes8084 MJ never called himself the King Of Pop. Elizabeth Taylor 1st called him Tking Of Pop,, Soul and Rock. The Next year Eddie Murphy present an Award, calling him The King Of POP. The title stucked.
You can tell the musicians were really feelin it too! There's something about a special voice that moves people. Say what you will about Kells but dude can flat out SANG!
R.Kelly is exactly what the Roots are missing you see when you have Greatness leading the charge how you just flow. He was Singing/Sanging and Kept it raw, grooving and funny,. da Kang can't be touched when he is feeling it. you watching Soulful History give it up for Kellz. he was so soulful that Jimmy Fallon even stopped being so stiff. Kellz is the stone cold truth last of the Greats.
Love him! There are so few singers left like him. He actually has passion for his songs and it comes across when he is on stage. Keep making beautiful music.
His best rift I've ever seen.....3:49 to 3:57....from da R. Seriosly, not necessarily technically GREAT during that moment....but the power and what makes R. Special is summmed up in those 8 seconds to me.
Yo, I know I just put 2 other comments but I just sat here and watched that part when he takes off his shades over and over again. It's like the nigga transformed into something else. He was like "I'll show you all." He took the shades off and pointed out to everybody as to say I bet you'll feel me after this. And look at his face when he's hittin those notes. Look like the nigga is giving birth. POWERFUL!
Don't make no damn sense. Please don't stop puttin music out Rob. i'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR YOUR STUFF. I MIGHT DOWNLOAD IT FIRST BUT I ALWAYS BUY YOUR WORK TO SUPPORT WHAT YOU PUT OUT. Do it till you CAN'T t do it no more.
I don't care what nobody says....this has to got be the HOTTEST TV performance he's ever done. Tear a hole in the stage.....nah he busted that sucker wide open...and The Roots is backing him up....come on now!!! In my country voice: "GO HEAD ON ARRAH"!!!!
@SistahRoro this was fantastic. but his best tv performance & the best performance I have ever had the privilege of watching on tv by any artist was his Sam Cooke rendition of Change Gone Come on CentricTV (live at the Five Star which was in his house). w/o question THEE best!
R Kelly's music is so real. His lyrics are everyday life and he's so natural at what he does. Being from chitown, he makes me feel like I'm home no matter where I'm at.
No matter what you think of his personal life you have to admit the R Kelly is a greater writer, performer and artist. Another great Performance by R Kelly. No one does it quite like him. He is a master of performing.
R. Kelly is by far the best thing popular music has around now. Already a legend, he will go down as absolutely one of the greatest voices of our time.
@foofootwo I hope you have never done anything wrong in your life!!!!!! Cuz ye who casts stones will have stones cast at them!!! What makes you able to judge someone! He will have to answer before God. Leave him alone and let him play his music! I love you Robert!!
He is a talented musician, but he is also a pedophile. One day God will judge me, that is true - but I will not have to answer for pedophilia. And R kelly is not annointed, are you that dense?
@foofootwo Get over it ! seperate the man long time past and move on! Stop insulting people music. I'm offended, because I'm a die hard fan of R.Kelly's love his work, he gives a lot of passion in his work, show some respect. Same day God going to judge him he is going to judge you too! so be careful what you say about this anointed man and his music...
THATS MY NIGGA!! HE KILLS EVERTIME HE PERFORM...
