I only have one Whitney CD, I got it before she passed, I Look To You is simply beautiful, and when she died, i kept listening to the album while crying. 

I liked R Kelly's voice, he can sing, and that's pretty rare with hip hop male singers who only seem like they "talk" on their songs

¿Qué currículum tiene ésta tarántula?

he was one of my fav artists growing up (probably bc my sisters listened to him haha) and remains one of my favourite artists today :') I don't listen to him as much now but every now and then he's on repeat for a good few weeks

When that album was released, I barely listened to it. All I could focus on was the fact that Whitney's voice was not the same and the songs were too "ballady" for my liking (I was lost in the electro dance world of Fame Monster-era Gaga at the time!! No time for Whitney ballads, lol)...

...but upon her death (and this R. Kelly performance), the beauty of that song (as well as "I Didn't Know My Own Strength") really came alive for me. "I Look to You" has some of the most simple, yet extremely powerful lyrics I've ever heard. And they tell Whitney's story so perfectly. And they are extremely relatable as well, for any of us who have felt just completely down and out after "giving our all"... So much hope in that song.

Sheer genius from R. Kelly. :applause:

(Seriously tho, I used it because it is the image most of the younger generation associates with him, hence the daily dragging... So I wanted to use it in contrast to his vast accomplishments in music, hehe)

I think he's talented and deserves his title of King of RnB and DWUW is one of my favorite Gaga songs because his verse is so good, but I can't get past the whole pissing thing.

Finally feeling free for the night, I got no worries. Finally got a claim on my life, baby, c'est la vie. ☄️
