R Kelly: Trapped in the closet

mug_mug_mug [Edit] [Delete] 21:51, 22 August '05
Has anyone seen this? R Kelly's new 20 minute five chapter epic music video?

It sounds like it could be very very funny.

In Chapters 1-5 a bed-hopping melodrama worthy of a Restoration comedy plays out, with R. Kelly singing all the lines. It's obvious that this is supposed to be very serious, but it's impossible not to laugh at Kelly's corny lyrics or the overacting of the video's cast.

In Chapter 1, he's hustled into the bedroom closet of a woman he just spent the night with with because her husband has come home unexpectedly. I crack up every time Kelly tries to bring the following lines to a lilting conclusion: "Next thing you know a call comes through on my cell phone/I tried my best to quickly put it on vibrate."
