    Charming, unpretentious and effortless, the singer presides over a party whose pace never flags and whose soul is fun-loving and wholesome. [22 Aug 2004]

    These records are too dramatic, too personal and, well, too much. [Oct 2004, p.110]

    His productivity isn't exuberance, it's greed; his PG rating isn't scruples, it's cowardice.

    R. Kelly is the Master. This is the best offering so far. As for Walker Texas Ranger, you who would not know it if music hit you in the face(even country music).… Expand

    It's rubbish. R. Kelly should stay at home and eat mash rather than write "music". Word. Bust it.
