So... i only actually got to see R. Kelly instead of New Edition and The Jacksons because...

A. the show started an hour and a half later than it was scheduled! because of some mix-up with the BET awards

B. I had work the next day and didn't want to battle an hour of traffic back home lol

Anyways the review... first off i will say even with all the awful, shitty, horrible HORRIBLE songs Kells has written, produced, or played on... the man is still one of my favorite voices in music.

He tore it the fuck up last night! he never once stopped singing! even when he was talking he was doing his infamous sing-talk routine and he never stopped.

His voice sounded great and i loved it! the show was fun, ratchet, spiritual, nasty, trashy, hilarious, crazy, wild, soothing... all these thing's together.

So.. on to the ''gripe'' i had and that is i wish this fool would just sing full songs! he has been doing this medley thing for years where he will literally sing 10-30 seconds of a song he was featured on and go to another! i mean... confused

I don't want to hear 10 seconds of ''Gigolo'' or 20 seconds of ''Hotel'' ''Laundromat'' ''Go Getta'' ''So Sexy'' ''That's That Shit'' etc. I still trying to forget those awful ass songs lol

I understand from 1992 to 2007 Kells had a TON of hits solo, stuff he produced, and collaborations. Luckily he didn't do anything from those shitty Jay-Z albums besides Fiesta lol

I know it seems like a small gripe but he has been doing this for years and he has no problem singing a horrible song like I'm A Flirt but won't sing If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time(My favorite song by him), The Worlds Greatest, I Can't Sleep etc.

He was pretty funny and even had an entire 6 minutes where he sang about not cussing, needing a towel, wanting this chick in front row to wipe his set, needing water and eating crab lol
Then he said ''y'all know i will write a song about anything'' ABOUT TIME he admitted it lol



Set List:

A near 10 minute rendition of Your Body's Callin
Medley of That's That, Freaky In The Club and Thoia Thang

Surprised it was a dirty setlist. I was expected more (or anything) from his last two albums. Love that he extended Your Body's Callink. That's one of my favorite songs by R.

Yeah me to! cause his last tour was like a ''crooner'' type thing with mostly ballads lol

Yeah he did the song then he went to each section going ''I HEARD SOMEONE CALLING ME OVER HERE!'' or ''NO NO AHHH YEAH YEAH I HEAR SOMEONE CALLING ME OVER THERE I SAID OVER THERRRR I MEAN OVER THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER''

It seems like he held that note forever i was like damn calm down lol

I saw R Kelly New Years Eve weekend perform in Vegas and his voice is still better and soulful than ever. I like his medley's because he showcases the best parts of all his hits(there are many)I passed to see him in the Bet Live Experiene. But had a ball this past weekend at the Bet Live Experience the whole weekend. I hope they do this every year here in La.

His sing-talking is pretty funny though cause he still sounds great even when he is talking about his sweat and needing some water lol

I hope next time he does some tracks from Love Letter! cause i want to see him belt those mother fuckers out cool

And i agree his voice is better than ever i am pretty impressed how he has such good control over it live! smile

Does anyone know why he doesn't do Turn back The Hands Of Time? that i sseriously my favorite by him but it seems he hasn't done that song live in over a decade sad he never does The Worlds Greatest or I Can't Sleep and those were big hits.

I realized he also never does Did You Ever Think or Womans Threat hmmm but keeps i'm a flirt confused i fucking hate that song even live i cringed having to hear ''don't leave your girl around me cause i'm a flirt''

That song where he tells the girl he will make her lemonade is even better than that shit lol

I'm A Flirt was Kell's last major hit. It's the song younger people are going to know the best other than I Believe I Can Fly. Maybe R. has some emotional attachment to IICTBTHOT. Maybe it reminds him of a past relationship or situation he'd rather forget.

I've never seen it as a remix. Kelly took the track (which he was only featured on) and made himself the star of the song. Can't really name any song with a similar situation.

He has been doing it since the BET awards in 2005? or was it 06? either way he has been doing it ever since lol

Shiiiet would have loved to have seen his shows in the 90s cool back when he would get really raunchy and crazy on stage!
