R. Kelly!

Not a "fan" or anything, it's just that his creations are more funky than Coldplays. :P

R. Kelly. =)

Sun Aug 07, 2005 2:55 pm

R. Kelly sang I Belive I Can Fly? Hmm, I always thought he was some kind of rapper...

Still going to sit out on this one, since I don't like either one.

Sun Aug 07, 2005 3:42 pm

R KELLY!

By far. If there's a more inspirational song than I Believe, I haven't heard it. 8)

R. Kelly's 5-video "soap opera" really just kills my opinion of him. Totally messed up...

But still. Coldplay just because. :P

Sun Aug 07, 2005 5:01 pm

Coldplay. I'm not a fan of R. Kelly.

Sun Aug 07, 2005 8:13 pm

Coldplay. Coldplay. Coldplay.

There. I fulfilled the 3 word requirement. ^^

He's both, as far as I know. (I have the single for I Believe I Can Fly in my CD case. ^^)

R. Kelly isn't really a rapper, he's an R&B singer. He just features rap artists on his tracks a lot, I think...

Mon Aug 08, 2005 12:33 am

I Believe I Can Fly is the cheesiest song ever. Oh gosh....

Coldplay!

Mon Aug 08, 2005 6:55 am

Coldplay plays a lot better...

Amen.

Also, the Trapped in the Closet series was so annoying ("oh, noes, he's walking over to the closet, he's going to open up the closet, he's about to attempt to pry the door open, he's doing the opposite of closing the closet, he's opening the closet, oh, oh, oh, oh!").

It's the best song in the world if you need inspiration to realise your dreams, fool.
Then End of the Road by Boyz II Men for more power ballading. :D

Cold play of course! 8)

Mon Aug 08, 2005 2:00 pm

Gotta go with R. Kelly.
