who do u prefer or rather who does it better when it comes to r&b, the self acclaimed king of RnB R.kelly or the gentle man Joe thomas...

I don't like to compare them...to me Joe's songs are specificity defined while that of R.Kelly is broad...

For example Joe oozes sensuality, romance in his songs, he sings on how he is the man...it's always about a lady and doing wicked things to the lady, only few of his songs are inspirational like better days, ghetto child and so on...someone even told me he has a contemporary gospel track (I haven't heard it though)

R.Kelly sings sensual songs too but not like Joe...he has more gospel (even sang with Kim Burrel annd Karen Clark), inspirational tracks and is more rounded than Joe

They are two good artistes in worlds of their own...doing almost the same thing but not totally the same and so they are not to be compared...this is in my opinion
