    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).

    I bought 3 copies...need I say more. Only God could bless someone with this type of talent. I pray Kelly keeps this joyous, happy, feel good type of music coming!

    Fantastic album. R.Kelly proves that he is probably the most talented r and b artist out there. He can create club jams, and joyous music. This is definitely a feel good album.

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

    You cant hide talent. This man blows up any kind of music, from sexy,spiritual, to hardcore rap, he always takes it to a higher level and has people across the nation movin our bodies like a snake, say what you want but most of us cant do what he does with his voice, i know computers, but this man knows music. I cant wait to see what is in store in years to come.

    Kelly has an uncanny ability to mix retro sounds with tasty dollops of contemporary seasoning.

    A definitive work of sorts since he's at the top of his game as both a craftsman and conman.

    Where Happy People only exercises Kelly's technique, U Saved Me adds some heart.
