I've always respected your opinions and tastes, but R.Kelly an All Time Musical Icon? Puh-leez! Many of the aforementioned i agree with, some don't deserve to make the list. Barry White, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Mary J Blidge don't make the cut for me. And did i overlook it, or did no one mention Bruce???

Maxxx you're on point with all of these and maybe even R Kelly. Depends on what you consder an icon to be. If it's someone who will be remembered and transcends their music, then he might be. Just not for the reasons you might like. [This message was edited Tue Jul 29 12:14:49 PDT 2003 by intha916] Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance

Although i personally hate it, MTV already made her an icon 2 years ago. |
