Answers: Last night my fiance and I were listening to R Kelly's Trapped in a Closet for the first time. After the second chapter, she left the room because she could not take anymore. It wasn't the content so much that bothered her. It was the presentation of the story. Kind of singing, kind of telling. It seemed to be done quite poorly and with little creativity or talent. I found it so humorous that I had to keep listening though.

What are your opinions? Yes I do like R. Kelly, but not as much as my boyfriend. But that trapped in the closet was a bit much. but if you want to get a good laugh from it, if you have comcast cable then you have on demand go to on demand, then go to music, then go to all videos m-z and go to the W's and weird al has re-done the whole thing it's called trapped in the drive thru it's 12 mins long but so funny. ENJOY tell every one you know I really don't care for him......i think he trys too hard to be something he's clearly not. Lol, Yeah, he needs to keep the story-telling to the authors. His songs aren't half-bad though. I can't stand him as a person but I enjoy his songs( not his stories.) When I first heard his Trapped in the Closet "songs" I wanted to throw up. They were so corny. If I wanted to hear a story I would have read a book! Hope this answers your question! It's hystercial. He's made some 20 or so chapters from what I hear. He just hasn't released them all. In my opinion, he could do a lot better considering he has come out with some of the best known r&b songs of the day.

I like his music (maybe because I'm from Chicago), but I'm not that big of a Chapter fan. You should check out the videos on YouTube, there hysterical. ..Personally, I like Kels....just depends on what kind of mood you are looking for. However, trapped in the closet, was one of them...WTF type things. I am with you on it, it was one of them things where you just can't stop looking.....But I think it depends on what type of mood you are trying to set, on listening to him or not. Cause I know when I'm trying to get "in the mood," some of his music is wonderful...*smiles* I like his older music better. It seems like since all of his "personal" problems have came out in the media he has tried to push his artistic image to show himself i a different light. As far as a singer he is OK, but as far as a person I don't like him very much. I love R Kelly songs and his voice.. but what he has done about the younger girls.. I dont like at all.. But its up to the courts to judge him... I did like Trapped in a Closet... it was good... I don't dislike him. I saw this thing on VH-1 several months back where they played the Trapped In a Closet videos and I thought it was the stupidest thing I've ever seen (and I've got kids who LOVE SpongeBob cartoons). To be honest I used to like him but now i feel that by listening to his music and buying his Cd's we are only telling him that what he did was OK and we believe him and that is just not the case. He is a pedophile and should be in prison. not out making millons of dollars.
