After bringing down the house at the 2005 Music Video Awards, R&B superstar and overactive bladder sufferer, R Kelly is now taking his show on the road. According to a press release issued earlier today, the one man show titled 2P or Not 2P will be similar in tone and presentation as Kelly’s landmark MTV performance in which the singer attempted to lip-sync and pantomime his way through his epic six-part homo-thug overture “Trapped In the Closet”.
Kelly, looking equal parts frightened, confused, and constipated, stumbled his way through the songs in succession while making no attempt to look like he was actually singing the lyrics. “I think what really won the fans over was the acting,” said Kelly’s publicist Jennifer Roth. What Roth is referring to was Kelly’s attempt at emoting and his interaction with the bedroom set-up that served as his backdrop on stage. “I mean, it’s not even really a song and he wasn’t even close to singing it but the crowd still went crazy! We couldn’t have been more pleased with the reaction.”
Roth confirmed that “Trapped In the Closet” will be the bulk of 2P or Not 2P show but adds that other songs are being considered for inclusion including “Sex Weed”, “Half On A Baby” and “Summer Bunnies”. “I really think this a chance for Robert to show he’s truly multi-faceted,” added Roth. “You know, like Snoop or Eddie Murphy.”
