"Shower down on me, wet me with your love," wailed the chorus, which, however you chose to slice it, is a funny thing to sing if you've just been accused of urinating on a 14-year-old. First, he released a track called Heaven, I Need a Hug. It's his bizarre musical response to the charges. It's not so much the 14 charges of soliciting a minor for child pornography he is facing - relating to a 2002 video that purported to show him engaging in sex acts with a 14-year-old girl (most infamously, urinating on her) - that has caused people to forget. M idway through the video for his current single, I'm a Flirt, Robert Kelly fixes the camera with a chilling glare: "Let me remind you," he sings, "that I am the king of R&B." It has certainly been easy to overlook that R Kelly was the master of a peculiarly lascivious brand of urban MOR, the kind of artist who duetted with Celine Dion.
