Question...

Do you all hate the song because it's R. Kelly or because it's talking about God? hmmm

But why? Is it the artist himself? The melody? The lyrics? I'm just wondering... confuse

He's a one trick pony, and that is being generous. Possibly the most over-rated artist to hit the scene in years.

I dunno, pimpn. It's very hard to separate how I feel about someone's character from their music, especially a person who is misogynist as R. Kelly is. I just feel like Kelly jumped on the God bandwagon when he started messing up.

Oh, okay. So in other words you feel as if he's basically being hypocritical and not true to himself, then. I can feel you. thumbs up!

I saw the video on BET recently and I had a hard time with it. I have no problem saying that I feel like he's being hypocritical. It just doesn't seem real to me with what he's singing.

bullshit like that. This really is a crap song, but i have liked some of his other stuff. boxed
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

As a religious person, I feel the same way.

All the time, he sang about sex, booty, whatever, and since "the girl he made the tape with" exposed him, he jumped and hid behind religion to save face.....

And then he was at it again!!!!! eek

I dunno, Robert.....I just.....don't.....know..... disbelief

I am not a fan of R Kelly, but I do know that he had some inspirational gospel-like songs before this scandal broke out. Around '97 he had announce that he was going to start doing gospel music and hooked up with Kurt Franklin, but that didn't last long.

He performed this song many months ago on an awards show before it was released as a single.

It was a powerful song then and still is now. When I saw him on T.V. performing it, I couldn't turn away even though I wanted to ( I'm a conflicted Kelly fan-- some of his music is very good but I don't like him as a person).

I didn't like the fact that the song was coming from him. But I was torn between awe and disgust.


As is his signature, he's delivers song topics in such a relatable way that it's contagious. I'm sure a lot of so-called sinners relate to this song and the situations he illustrates.

I definitely think God is not a domain exclusively for the righteous. Sinners have always sang about God. So I think with all the turmoil in Kelly's life this is expected, maybe even appropos.

I'm not religious. I used to be. And the song reminded me a lot of the power of gospel.

However, I must say that my mom is a very religious church-going woman and she won't listen to this song at all.

It was on the radio, and I told her that it was an R.Kelley song and she emphatically said she didn't care if he was singing about God, she did not want to hear it ... and walked off.
