POLL IN THE KITCHEN, OVER BY THE STOVE — R. Kelly artist poll RESULTS

Got 15 ballots total, most included album rankings as well. I'll begin today with the albums then roll the tracks out over the rest of the week. My rollout timing might be a little sporadic so apologies in advance.

7b — Double Up

7a — R. Kelly

http://i41.tinypic.com/oqh9ig.jpg

self-titled was my #1

ahh forgot to do album rankings

6 — Love Letter

http://i43.tinypic.com/2hfm4jd.jpg

Chocolate Factory will be #1.

5 — TP.3 Reloaded

http://i40.tinypic.com/xatg13.jpg

my money is on tp-2.com

doing this poll totally reminded me of how solid tp3 is so thanks for that

Yeah, definitely.

4 — 12 Play

http://i42.tinypic.com/2cnbbpw.jpg

I figured R. would get the top spot

3 — R. (3 first place votes)

http://i42.tinypic.com/98zrd2.jpg

I was hoping for the same xp.

I think I was one of those no.1s for R. But it's close between that and half-a-dozen others really, the man has high quality control.

He's got a new one out this week iirc.

Yeah I think Dec 10, good timing, hearing his name a lot atm.

2 — Chocolate Factory
(3 first place votes)

http://i44.tinypic.com/2448mdf.jpg

1 — TP-2.com
(3 first place votes and everyone voted for it)

http://i44.tinypic.com/2z3nn1w.jpg

top two were separated by only two points

tp-2.com is perfect

No love for Born Into The 90s? Not that I voted for it myself, but when I listened to it I loved the almost old-school Chicago House sound to it on the snares and such.

only good song on that one (IMO) is the Stevie Wonder cover

not one vote for that album!

its fine but def an outlier

lol my #1 didn't make it

and, i for one, did not vote for tp-2.com

the top 4 was my top 4 in that exact order, so i can't complain. never cared for TP.3 Reloaded, though -- was i the only person to vote for Best of Both Worlds? that's a really fun album, in a way it being slight and anticlimactic is its charm.

xp oh yeah, just recounted and we were indeed one vote short of a tp2 sweep. You were the only vote for UB.

some dude you had the only vote for bobw

50 — Fiesta (ft. Boo & Gotti)

damn double up got robbed

i voted too late for albums :-(

double up is top 3 for me

Gonna do 15 tracks today/tomorrow then 10 on Thursday/Friday. I'll give stats on the final 20.

Didn't like Double Up at the time but spending all this time with his catalog it def wasn't as bad as I remembered.

there's some obviously bad stuff but so many good songs

Just hard to find a spot for it in my top 5 you know

He has no perfect albums but Double Up comes close. Was laughing out loud to "Real Talk" the other day: "Trapped in the Closet" condensed to four minutes.

49 — Remote Control

the first 4 songs are pretty regrettable but after that it's an amazing album give or take kid rock

"remote control" is a dope track

Fiesta is terrific, glad to have nudged it in

Yeah it really is xp, I didn't vote for it but it's deserving. He doesn't use falsetto as much as other r&b dudes but when he does it carries powerful impact (boom from the cannon).

48 — Echo

46 — Get Up On A Room

^ top 5 for me. Two songs in a row with yodeling haha.

Also I'd never seen the Echo video before but that has to be the most budget video for a high profile artist of all time.

Get Up On... is such a tasteful track.

You don't have to go far to get a piece of me
You wait in the car while I go get the keys
Double lock the door for complete privacy
No room service baby cuz you will be the feast, can we eeeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeee (whoooooa)

We'll cuddle up with each other babe, yes we will
And I'll go there on this chair (yah, yaaaah)

i didn't really fuck with "echo" for a while but that song is awesome

"get up on a room" is sublime tho

echo never really stuck with me, not bad just not a favorite

i woulda voted for Double Up, it's def my favorite post-2003, but i really wanted to rep for Best of Both Worlds

i haven't heard "echo" in years but it's ringing a bell, i feel like i really liked it at the time

yeah thanks spot

should we post ballots?

man i've been holding onto this delusion that somehow there's an extra number between 3 and 2 that I didn't know abt and Touched A Dream had 15 votes and top 10 placement on everyone's ballot

good finish tho, this polls been fun

t pain singing in spanish on an r kelly song... i could've died

man i've been holding onto this delusion that somehow there's an extra number between 3 and 2 that I didn't know abt and Touched A Dream had 15 votes and top 10 placement on everyone's ballot

same but for the tp-2.com "just like that"

You could post ballots if you want but we had so few you could just mention those tracks that missed out that you feel should be in instead idk

i would have liked to see some stuff from "u saved me" i guess but i can't argue with the majority of the choices. good poll.

purposefully omitted "down low" "ignition (remix)" and "bump n grind" bc they clearly didn't need my help

wish "sex planet" had come in ahead of "sex weed" honestly

"u saved me" was my #26

but i guess i'm more glad both "in the kitchen"s placed

everybody's sleeping on unfinished business

did ANYONE vote for "gotham city" or "i'll be your angel"

they were big hits

2. Double Up
3. Happy People
4. Love Letter
5. TP-2.com

hah glad to see "i like the crotch on you" got a vote - def would have made my top 40

Had some mad debates with my friends about this poll but we all agreed that Half on a Baby deserves the top spot. Also, the Old School mix of Bump and Grind is way too low. But none of that shit matters. THIS POLL RULED. Thanks Spottie. Of the few polls I've participated in, this has been my favorite. Would you mind posting the complete stats?

I don't think so

1) I Believe I Can Fly
2) If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time
3) Ignition (Remix)
4) Step in the Name of Love (Remix)
5) I'm a Flirt (Remix)
6) Religious Love
7) Chocolate Factory
8) Down Low
9) The World's Greatest
10) Be Happy
11) Bump N' Grind
12) Contagious [Isley Brothers]
13) Fiesta (Remix)
14) Thoia Thoing
15) Hump Bounce
16) Fuck You Tonight [Biggie]
17) Same Girl [Usher]
18) Ignition
19) As I Look Into My Life

25) Trade In My Life

can't believe "If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time" didn't place, it's like I have a totally different Kells in mind

only room for so many sweeping ballads and most would lean to Worlds Greatest and/or I Believe I can Fly

love both of those too of course

sweeping ballads forever

"Step" was on my wedding playlist, and it was the last song playing when we left the reception, such a magical moment

awww

Does anyone like Slow Wind?

I like the Manu Chao vibes I get from it if that counts?

i realize looking now at my e-mail that i accidentally put "Feelin' On Yo Booty" on my ballot twice, so i only voted for 24 songs. feel bad, coulda fit another favorite in there.

new kells and bieber
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsQ_mjqsZ-k

this thread is for good r kelly songs

though i didn't vote for any featurings, was surprised sparkle didn't make the list

1. heaven i need a hug
2. step in the name of love
3. step in the name of love (remix)
4. bump n' grind
5. i like the crotch on you
6. ignition (remix)
7. ignition
8. i wish (remix)
9. all rounds on me
10. all i
11. trapped in the closet, chapter 1
12. loveland
13. fiesta (remix)
14. down low
15. somethings never change
16. feelin' on yo booty
17. feelin' on yo booty (remix)
18. i wish
19. contagious
20. the greatest sex
21. snake
22. happy people
23. sex in the kitchen
24. fiesta
25. love is

tracks i had but missing from the results tend to be loveland and Write Me Back. also surprised people seemed to obey the no "trapped" injunction!

i love trapped, love how creative the later chapters get, but it doesn't function in a song poll, it's this other thing

i voted for it in the poll b/c i still remember when it was just chapter 1 and this weird single and we had no idea it would go beyond that but it was still great.

yeah i coulda voted for the first one, was a pretty cool moment on its own, just didn't make room for it.

I'd've been fine with giving a vote to part I too, but he's got way more than 25 better songs so I didn't.
