Gagz 2,579 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 So basically you're fighting legal allegations with the fact that he's a talented singer? His music isn't why most people are bashing him right now Of course he's had great songs, but that's not enough for how some people view him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
itaita 0 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 No one is bashing anyone. And yes I have grown up with R Kelly "I bet that most of people who've hated on R Kelly don't even know his past material and how many popular songs he's had." Is the weakest rebuttal I've ever read. I dont hate on him. He made his own bed by doing nasty things to people. Can his number one singles save him from hurting others? No! So stop going by ratings and just the music and look at who he is as a person. Dont be a rating junkie. Derp. OMFG I will give you this though... Funniest **** I have EVER seen. And South Park did the best at capturing it. Ha, yes. To be honest, I like some of his songs and always did. I also like DWYW and him on it. But in light of his s-xual predation habits etc.... well... obviously I am not Gaga, but the mere idea of being the same video as him and the material being suggestive.... ew.

MikeyMoonShine 0 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The point of this thread was to show talented this man is. I can make a list of many legends that have done unspeakable things, but his music or talent should not be discredited because of that. Most people my age and younger hear the name R.Kelly and only joke about him peeing on someone. They don't even know what he has contributed to the music industry. There are several artists I may not like but I still give them credit where credit is due. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So stop going by ratings and just the music and look at who he is as a person. Dont be a ratings junkie. just because someone makes hits, doesnt mean its good music. There is a lot of other music out there that isn't recognized or rated. Im not doubting his vocals. Im just saying, he's a piece of **** as a human. Good work. Poor personality. Derp.

Willy Wonka 4 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 not here to discuss about that, I'm talking about music You remind me of those type of people who bring up, "gaga has a diq" on the internet on random articles because obviously that's all they know about her. So I assume that's all you know about him right? mm No, of course I know his music. He's hugely talented You just seem ignorant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 680 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 90's R&B is one of my least fave genres. That reminds me why I listened to classic rock and pop rock radio back when he and Mariah were huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several artists I may not like but I still give them credit where credit is due. Of course, give him credit. But you can't suggest that everyone support him. Chris Brown is talented, but he deserves every nasty comment he gets. R. Kelly did this to himself. To talk about his talent is to talk about his legacy, which unfortunately involves his legal issues. To pretend they don't exist is ignorant and a slap in the face to the victims.

itaita 0 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 What makes him creepy - to me - is that he brings his exploits almost literally into his art. He boasts and brags and thus, to me, makes it virtually impossible now to separate him, the person, from his music - and because as a person he creeps me out, I am less likely to ever again enjoy his music. I believe this is not just something unique to me, either. The recent Village Voice expose which made waves was incredibly widely shared. He had to comment on it, but it wasn't much, more like: Eh, haters gonna hate cuz I'm famous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodo 313 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yes because ofc the Legal stuff is totally irrelevant to why some people in Gaga's fan base might have a bit of a problem with him. psh u don't deserve the r kelly blessing on dwuw not arguing with you anymore No, of course I know his music. He's hugely talented You just seem ignorant. ignorance is the finest I don't care about his past, I like his music Its like not liking adele cause she's fat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
itaita 0 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 He is an exceptional artist and is innocent until proven guilty. Ah, the 'innocent until proven guilty' one. OK.
