Off Topic

Ok this has nothing to do with HK/China/being abroad/whatever, but here goes

I believe that R Kelly is my generation's version of Michael Jackson.

No, really. Stay with me here.

When Kels is trying, he makes some great stuff - I Believe I Can Fly, World's Greatest, The Zoo (OK I'm kidding about The Zoo). Now I'm not the biggest follower of Kels, but I know he also puts out some real clunkers, Real Talk anyone? We all know the hits Michael has put out, but what about everything else?

So, when R Kelly is on his game, he's actually pretty good.

Michael Jackson has some good stuff too - if you disagree you hate music. That's right. I said it.

Now the similiarity that I find the most striking here, is that they're both completely freaking bat sh*t insane. R Kelly has his underage girls, and oh wait so does Michael. Kels did 24, that's right, 24 chapters of Trapped in the Closet, Michael operates the world's creepiest amusement park - his house.

Not a very well drawn out argument, but I summarize it thusly: both artists have some incredible work in related fields/genres, and both are absolutely insane.

It just had to be said
