R.Kelly- I Believe I Can Fly

I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky, I think about it every night and day spread my wings and fly away

R. Kelly was unbeatable in the 90's! then the 00's came..... eek

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen

yeah I agree he was on a roll, and even in the early 00's, and then....

but he had a few more okay songs after all that though I don't really care for him nowadays.

Love letter was great of course, but he became a parody of a parody of himself in the 00's

It's the type of music that makes my insides decay. It ticks so many wrong boxes and flicks so many switches to "squirm and retch" you wouldn't believe it.

It's odd to think we're all Prince fans when our other tastes are so opposing.

I've never heard an R. Kelly song that I didn't find grating. I think it's possible because there really is so many different things about Prince's music that are appealing.

But on a serious note... I definitly agree with you... even though I think this is probably one of the better pop r&b songs out of shit load of mostly crap pop r&b songs that are exactly grating that alot of people on here like.... not going to go further in that area though lol

just saying.. This song is not the greatest but certainly not the worse... lol

anywho.

Most of R.Kellys 90s r&b material was pretty good and he showed to be a good songwriter during his prime.

no, I meant appealing. As in there are alot of different things to love about Prince's music, bringing alot of different minded music fans to listen to him.

As if Prince doesn't have worse music. falloff Prince has PLENTY of corny songs or as you say songs that make people "squirm and retch". Actually, his whole discography consists of filler mostly.
