he is back even betta than b4.....

Lots of Love 2 u kellz from so far away love u from SUDAN...........

The King is back. Can't waiting for Black Panties!

.....from one SCORPIO to another, "ever so glad to have that hypnotic voice ready to croon me once again" you keep me in a good place.....GOD bless you and don't scare me like that again.......HAPPY BIRTHDAY handsome....enjoy ur day...

Love this song, it states a message, people should always mind their own business. You should not judge someone by what other people say, you should form your own opinion. No one in life is perfect if everyone was perfect then the world would be a better place. You should always take the time to get to know someone before you judge them. When you perform and you get emotional I think it is Robert that is getting emotional not R. Kelly. We are seeing the real you. It shows that you are very caring person. I would love to see your perform in Savannah but I will not be able to go.But I hoping there is a chance I will be able to attend but if not, I am sure it will be an amazing concert. I am glad you are back! I can't wait until your next album comes out. Keep your head your fans will always have your back.

Always a fan
Quiet momma

What else did they expect from the TRUE King of R&B

Now who said he wouldn't do that?!!!!

I love this song!!!!!!!!! This is the r kelly i luv, hope he brings back this hip hop/ soul sound on his next album, that "I wish", "heaven I need a hug" sound.

I'm glad to hear that R. Kelly is back. I knew that he would be back soon. I was just waiting, for the news about his health. His last CD like the rest of them was dynamite. I never listen to what the critics or others have to say. I prayed for him and hoped for the best. Welcome back R, Kelly. I like the song "shut up" and can't wait for the next CD.

WELCOME BACK!!

HEY UNCLE ROBERT!!!!! OF COURSE UR BACK!!!! I NEVER DOUBTED U ONCE!!!!! LOVE U, KIONA KELLY

Much love from Russia

I am so glad that Kellz is using his voice in a positive way! People have so much to say when they're life is an extra hot buttery ball of bull....! People want to be in the know & wanna be cool for what!? Spreading lies, gossip, & untruths about others! That says a lot about their character. I pray for haters cos they need healing. I am in love with this song...it is what I stand on & believe in. Seriously, SHUT UP! When you know better, you do better! Anyone who is fortunate enough to be in the same space as Kellz should humble themselves & let all the superstar ish go! Kellz is human just like up, but he's also a creative genius with a good heart! You have to have a good heart to be that damn creative! I LOVE HIM! He is one of the bright stars that shines in our lovely city of Chicago! I'm gonna meet him one day, actually meet him, break bread with him, maybe create some musical art with him, but people really do need to stop with the hate! Don't wanna see a brother from the hood make it! HE'S MADE IT PEOPLE! YOU CAN'T KEEP THAT CREATIVITY ON LOCK! What would music be without R. Kelly!?...*crickets* Be easy people & fix yourself instead of focusing on someone else!

sometimes it takes an outsider looking in---

Motive: You love, you try to help, serve and help the person onto the right path and you contiunally think your helping.
I want to say someone made reference to speaking on folks not respecting if you put their business out and I just want to say they are totally right in regards people should not do this and the other things that was spoke upon too was totally on point .

Sometimes you can lose something you really love so much it hurts on just on basic prinicpal of giving respect and some stupidity-- by not stepping back and watching what you say or where you say it --.
If it is the last thing I do on earth I will make it up to that person I messed up with because it is truly hurting my soul now that I hurt you and sometimes there isn't anything you can say or do just hope time heals things but I will not rest till I make it right and correct the wrongs with the one I deeply loved just even on a basic respect level-- I am truly sorry hurting you and I vow but no more of it----

Hey Robert I love you and your music. Cant wait to see you at the Big Jam I already got my floor seats!! By the way next time you decide to stop by Corner Bakery make it the Palmer House location. We would love for you guys to have lunch on us. Love you and stay blessed.

I am so thankful that your surgery went well. Your new song is so true. The haters try to knock you down and youve always stood strong. No one should judge others by a past, present or future mistake. No one should judge unless they are God himself. Ive been a true fan and lover of R.Kelly since the beginning of time. He will overcome and conquer all. God Bless and be well R.Kelly. You are an inspiration to so many people.....Take it slow on the upcoming songs, tours, albums, etc. Cant hurt that voice of yours hun. But I am sure that I can speak for some of us when I say that even if you could never sing again, that we would still love you for the man that you are and the blesings you have given us all. I havent made a baby to your music, but if youd ever like to "practice" making one, let me know. LOL Take Care hun.

GOOD MORNING KING!! JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I LOVE THE NEW SONG.I WAS WONDERING WHEN YOU WILL BE GIVING OUT INFORMATION ON YOUR LOVE LETTER CRUISE?MAY GOD BLESS AND CONTINUE TO KEEP U.LOVE ALWAYS AND FAN YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN AKA YOUR WIFEY

lots and lots of love kelz - loving the song!xx

I have ALWAYS had your back & I can care less what anyone says I always tell them to SHUT UP LOL cause they dont know 5hit... You are extremely talented and I LOVE YOU for who you are inside and out... and as always will always love your music.... Come to NYC soon !!! I was at the 2006 Radio City concert... and i cant wait to REUNITE with my Husband Smiling Love you Robert

Under normal conditions, I would be raving, chanting, defending and congratulating Kelly. However, today I am posting this comment out of pure disappointment and frustration.
I too was to be attending what in my opinion would have been the greatest concert of the year. The date was Dec. 3, 2011, but to much astonishment this concert was cancelled the day of the concert. Now to make things even worst, this was the second time the concert was cancelled. The August 13th date was also cancelled(but this was understandable) Kells was having an emergency throat surgery. But this time there were no special circumstances, no emergency, just he didn't feel like it.
Now Kells want to send a statement of "I am sorry". This is really not working for me!! Does he really know the agony he has put people through for the second time. Some have taken off from work twice just to prepare to see him. Still yet others have spent out alot of money for preparation. For example, booking hotel rooms(that are non-refundable the day of an event!!),buying new outfits,having new hair-do's done, the list goes on. I really believe if he truly cares for his fans, He needs to do a little more than I am sorry. Especially since he released such a lame reasoning for why he was not appearing. If he REALLY did not want to be bothered with Savannah, he should have never agreed for it to be rebooked. A city should not have to beg for Kelly to come. If he really cared he would have went beyond the margins to make this concert happen, with the plague of him already cancelling before. I have ALWAYS been behind Kelly no matter what the public threw out there, but now I really don't know, He isn't showing any love back. The trivia question for the day is "Who breaks someone's heart 2 times in 4 months?" And your answer would be R Kelly. Now there is man with no compassion, no remorse, just outright selfish!!!!! Sometimes Kells, doing the right thing is more important than doing what you want to do..

THANK GOD FOR YOUR RECOVERY!! I LUV SHUT UP...THE TITLE SHOULD OF BEEN SHUT THE **** UP!!!!!! THEY HATING ON KELLY, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND A SMILE ON YOUR FACE BEACUSE YOU ARE THE GREATEST....LOVE LOVE LOVE...NOT GOING TO SAY WELCOME BACK BECAUSE IN MY EYES YOU NEVER LEFT.

Welcome back Kelly!! I love your voice(^.^) I'm so happy to listen to your new song.
From Tokyo with love(^.~)
