Anyone catch his performance from the Soul Train Awards? He brought the HOUSE down with a medley of basically every classic Kells song, ending in an amazing rendition of "When a Woman Loves". If this performance doesn't convince you to pre-order "Love Letter" now, then nothing will. Check out a video of the performance right here. What was your favorite part?

Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
U know a heavy heart never travels very far so u need to lighten the load. There is one brother n so many hits the last 20 years that has truly help me weather my storms n his name is simply R. Robert Sylvester Kelly aka Pied Piper aka The Panty Soaker from the time I seen R n the Hartford Civic Center in 1994 n again n 2003 at Philips Arena like a great wine that appreciates with time my brother has truly become the Diamond n the Ruff of R N B music. Last nite solidified the reason why my wife n I love to bump n grind n slow wind to his music. Some say u can never pick a favorite R song n there r so many but if I was put n a box n had to pick three they would b The Greatest Sex, Looking For Love, and Take My Time Tonight. Though there are so so many he gives u that choice n luxury to choose. This brother did something last night that should forever tell u don't bet against him NEVER. Some fell off for whatever reason n that means u were never a fan. Not interested in what he does when he does what he do because we all have fallen short but by God's grace this man has managed to keep us entertained n captivated by his charm, his musical magic, and his gift. As he so eloquently stated in THE LIGHT IT UP TOUR DVD " When u master the gift that GOD has bestowed upon u there is nobody that can ever take that light from u" although he did not say it exactly like that it is what i took from his comments. Whether it be Tommy Davidson aka Tre Songz or Joe The Camel with all his ugliness n hatred because he is ugly THE R brushed the fleas off his shoulder n keeps it moving right into Legend status. My brother I truly commend you and truly am a fan of your artistry n charisma I thought I worked a room but gotta give it up. U have managed to put Teddy Pendergrass, Luther, Marvin, Stevie, Ronald Isley, Keith Sweat, Aaron Hall, Jodeci n all the rest into one magical man n that man is u. I love u like a brother from another mother n so glad that u delivered what I KNEW to be true always. U R LEGEND. N elephants never have to swat flies or fleas because they are too damn big to see such a rodent or pest. Let's keep those hits coming n for real u need a three day tour per city with people able to purchase a 1,2,3 day pass or ticket because there are too many hits n man oh man so many I want to see u perform but GREAT PERFORMANCE. Never send a boy to do a man's job. Only one man could have done what u did last night n that man is U. Yeah Yeah yeah I don't wanna stop. Keep giving us the 12 Play n yes I know u have to change a little with the your kids getting older but keep us entertained but we never r n doubt trust me. Well I am a little long winded but brother Thanks for all the hits just wish we could see more of u n interviews whether TV or magazine. Timeless performance last evening.

GOD IS WITH YOU!!!! also when you sang when a woman loves you sang from your heart. As i watched you sing, tears fell from my eyes WOW! When a Woman loves she loves for real... Dream Girl
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
R. Kelly you're one of my greatest inspirations! Love the performance. I study you and your craft and learn from it. I really want to meet you and I know I will. I have a band called No Wonder. Check us out on youtube, search nowondermw. My dad told me if I wanted to learn to sing and play music I needed to listen to this CD. It was the year 2000; I was 13. He gave the R. album; the one with I Believe I Can Fly and VIP. I embraced that cd and made sure to get every one before and after. I instantly became a die hard fan. Thank you, my musical father, R. Kelly.

Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
R. Kelly you are the BEST!!! Your performance was exciting and excellent! Keep doing your thing and do not worry about what others say about you. You have real talent and your true fans appreciate everything you do. I can't wait for the album to drop December 14th. I will be the first in line to buy it.
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
R.Kelly had the best performance of the entire show. It was a hard act to follow and I didn't need to see no one else because I knew NO ONE was going to top R.Kelly performance. R.Kelly showed what it is to PERFORM AND SING WHILE still sounding EXCELLENT. December 14, 2010 can't get here quick enough.
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
OMG!!!! R. S. Kelly, you showed up and showed out. I am forever in love with all ur music...and now you come back with something more powerful than before. Keep giving us all of you. I continue to pray that God will bless you in all areas of your life. Keep moving forward in ur music.

Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
OMG a beast...Recognized all over the world....and still underrated! People tell me all the time they dont like R. Kelly because of his past...I just tell them like this...I DONT CARE!... Look in the audience and you see some people are clapping but not smiling...lol....Thats cause they know that real music is back...and they see that they are amateur...but really it didnt go anywhere because R. Kelly has been putting out hit after hit...He just wasnt getting much radio play because of the HATERS....BET and Mtv need to realize that R. Kelly is money....no matter if they support the brother or not...He is going to do the damn thang regaurdless...from the first time i heard R. Kellys music I knew its was something about this man that was different from Genuine, Maxwell, El debarge, Johnny gill and countless others...I knew he could blow them all out of the water with just his voice alone...but now that it is almost 20 years since he started....It hit me....HE IS A BEAST!...Still hot! Still jammin! Still gettin pannies wet!....like who do you know makes music for 20 years and didnt retire...trey songz cant really sing all that great....so in about 5 years his career should be shot...Really it should...He was doggin my guy Kellz about autotune...Im like really trey! really!....Yea he did the little autotune thing but it wasnt "DONT BE TARDY FOR THE PARTY"....you could still hear the way he really sounds...but i guess Mr. Kelly had to come out with this and shut em down....I just love it...makes me smile...lol....KEEP DOIN IT BIG MR. SHOWTIME!
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMINAL performance! the best on an award show in a long time.
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
Gifted! Awesome! Creative! Artistic! Inspirational! Exciting! Uplifting! Dramatic! Natural! Beautiful! Great! R. Kelly you are definitely the real deal! We yearn for such great music, passion, versatility, and genuineness.
It is your season! The people love you. They want more albums from you. They yearn for your presence. It is your time. Get busy making albums! You are definitely gifted to entertain and minister to people. People need positivity and truthfulness. You sound good on stage. Wonderful! Use your gift to give back to people through making inspirational, beautiful, authentic, passionate, and compassionate music.
We love you, love you, and love you very much. We are waiting on new music from you. Your voice is so beautiful. Use it to motivate people to become better people, happy people, creative people, helping people.
Your singing and performance gave me the chills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

President Obama, I hope that you witnessed R. Kelly's spiritual gift. Promote his purpose. God bless your family, you, and the world.
R. Kelly, God bless you and the world!
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
Oh yeah! Let us remember that "all of us have sinned and come short of the glory of God." ~Romans 3:23 (King James Version) Let us help each other to use our spiritual gifts according to God's will. Build each other up and not tear each other down.
It is evident that one of R. Kelly's spiritual gifts is singing and performing. He uses his art naturally and passionately. He has not lost his beautiful voice. I give all the glory to God for his spiritual gifts.
To R. Kelly, leave your past behind and look forward to nothing but greatness. Stay humble and bless other people by using your spiritual gift to do God's will, which is to help people to have strong relationships with God and He will give us the desires of our hearts. We must follow Christ to get to God. To know Jesus Christ is to love him. To love him is to obey him. To obey him is to have a relationship with Him. Put and keep God first R. Kelly. He is the only person that can provide and protect you. Turn your burdens over to God. Man cannot help you with your burden in a way that is constant without God's approval. When you read the bible day and night (all the time and think of God all of the time), you increase your chances of connecting with him. Pray first for understanding and application, then read your bible all the time and the Holy Spirit will lead, guide, and keep you.
Beautiful voice R. Kelly! I mean beautiful! Wonderful Performance! I mean wonderful! Welcome back! You are destined to entertain and minister to people. Remember to serve the purpose in which you have been placed on this earth to do.
God bless you. God bless the world. We love you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
Great Performance!!! A true genious!! This will allow students to see back in time....mmm. I smell a research project. Thanks..
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
They need to change the R in "Rhythm & Blues" to "Robert & Blues"! Make it official; change dictionaries, update the WWW, what ever you got to do. Recognize this man as the King of R&B. I never wanted to put him above Stevie Wonder but its official; All Hail the King! We are lucky to witness the greatness of R Kelly, appreciate him now! Think about it; the last one we saw like him was Marvin Gaye (RIP). We are witnessing musical genius and from the look of things we may not see it in R&B for a long time to come!
Someone mold this man a Crown.........
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
I cannot put into words about the performance at the Soul Train Awards. Always been a fan from day one. Bought every CD, single, DVD and everything else. I'm still waiting for the man to blaze through Philly or somewhere close. I really can't say enough about Mr. Kelly other than how incredible he is. He really doesn't get the credit he deserves, and it's a shame too because he's been doing from the beginning. No matter how many cats come out tryin to sound like him, be like him, diss him he still comes thru. Storyline videos, MUSIC is just timeless classics. I see all the other so called RNB kings and singers trying to be like my man but no dice..he gets it done. So come on BET...somebody better put something together for my man and I don't mean when he's about to pass away. Give me the EMail to whoever's in charge and i will harass their behinds until they do. meanwhile about to order that CD and enjoy another one from Mr. R. Kelly...PE@CE!!!
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
I LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE YOU DID YOUR THANG... AND PPL SAID YOU BACK, I DIDNT KNOW YOU LEFT.. I DONT KNOW WHEN PPL GONNA REALIZE THAT YOU ARE THE KING OF R&B...YOU THE BEST IN MY EYES AND I LOVE YOU FOR LIFE... YOUR PERFORMANCE WAS THE BEST ACT THAT NIGHT.. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.. LOVE YA
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
This is, hands down, the best performance I've seen on any Awards Show period. I love it. Kellz continues to raise the bar. It was hard for anybody to follow that. He had the best performance of the show.
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
Another excellent performance by Kells!!
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
I was upset that I couldn't have seen this live on BET and saw it posted on Youtube instead. It made me feel so good as if watching the Motown 25 Anniversary show with the all the Jacksons on the show. Great performance and great Alternate take at the end...wish I could find it for sale somewhere online...LoL
Re: R-Kelly's Medley at The Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]

The voice SUPER the performance not what I hoped for to bad.
I waited so long too see you standing in the front row 1 hour you was gone.
I hope you come back and make up for it because I'M still a fan Love your music
Love a fan from the netherlands
