a note to r. kelly

as much as i don't like you or your music, i often found myself humming along to the rather pleasing little melody that is "step in the name of love." until, that is, i actually listened to it recently.

in the first line, you sing,
Many lovers has come, and Many lovers have gone.
okay, so...did you figure out that you got it wrong the first time, so you just thought you'd correct it for the second? and, if so, why didn't you just go back and correct the first one, too? instead, you left it like that. (did you run out of studio time or something?) it makes you look like a total idiot dumb.

oh, and...why do you insist on pronouncing the word, similar as if it contains the letter, "u"...as in simular? this makes you look like an even bigger idiot dumb, too. over and over and over again.

come on, r'rra. there's creativity with language. there's "urban" slang. and then? there's just plain ignorance. and laziness. as if there weren't already enough reasons to dislike you....

i suggest you hire an editor. one with a grasp of the english language. please. mmm, thanks.
