5.0 out of 5 stars It's GREAT but..., March 12, 2005

By	Poetic (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews

...it would be even better, if that had the unedited version of Fiesta (Remix) on it...

If they're gonna put that on there, it needs to be unedited or leave it out. They didn't edit out I WISH, so why edit out Fiesta (Remix). In that case, they should have put, IF I CAN TURN BACK THE HANDS, in it's place.

I hate to hear a song with edited out lyrics...that's why they have the option to buy the Explicit Version and Clean Version...

Other than that...this cd is tha BOMB!

Favorite Songs: ALL OF THEM with the exception of Fiesta Remix, dayum!

4.0 out of 5 stars not bad, August 8, 2005

By	Tishauna Diana Delacroix Starr "the_scorpion" (LA and GA) - See all my reviews

not a bad collection at all..........BUT its missing songs.yes it just the first volume of a collection.but i think the older songs should have camed first.then the newer versions for the second volume.either way this is a great collection of contemperary R&B songs.with the rate of r-kelly he'll be able to produce up to 5 collections.besides usher,keith sweat,and maybe bobby brown you would be hard press to find a R&B singer who had such a huge solo career in modern contemperary R&B other than r-kelly.

now on to the album

1. Bump N' Grind-its ok but i prefere the remix

2. Your Body's Callin-oh man this was my jam,one of r-kelly's best smooth mellow slow jams.it was great to listen to in 94,especialy on my summer vacation in jamaica and the bahamas that following year.

3. Sex Me (Part 1)-love it

4. You Remind Me of Something-love it

5. Ignition [Remix]-love it

6. Down Low (Nobody Has to Know)love it hope they put the remix on vol 2

7. When a Woman's Fed Up-great song that got played to death.

8. Step in the Name of Love [Remix]its ok i liked the original better

9. Thoia Thoing-meh.....its ok

10. Touched a Dream-huh?? never heard it

11. Fiesta [Remix] - Jay-Z -never liked it

12. I Wish-the remix is better

13. Ghetto Religion - Wyclef Jean-never heard it before

14. Honey Love-its ok lol probably the first r-kelly song i heard

15. She's Got That Vibe-i don't think i remember this.....hhhmmm

16. World's Greatest-he tries to recapture the glory of i wish i could fly,its ok

17. I'm Your Angel - Celine Dion-never liked it

18. I Believe I Can Fly-oh my god the bane of my existence lol


i hope in vol 2 they add gotham city and the remix,ghetto queen,half on a baby,the remix to bump in grind among a huge list of other songs,and some people probably forgotten about.like slow jamz,born into the 90's,seems like your ready,homie lover friend remember that? lol.its true r-kelly's remixes was almost always better than the original.

all in all this is a great cd that barely touches the surfice
of r-kelly's career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, February 22, 2005

By	Jannine "Jannine" (Fl) - See all my reviews

This Cd was well thought out and put together. The lyrics will leave you breathless, the vocals are flawless and the mood it creates is definetly unforgettable. This is one of those cd's that you don't need to moniter and skip tracks, you put it in and let it ride. Good Job Kells This is definetley one of the "The Pied Piper of R N B's best albums.
