R. Kelly in Atlanta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta R&B artists J Holiday, Keyshia Cole and Ne-Yo opened for R. Kelly Thursday night at Philips Arena - in that order.
That’s significant perhaps for no other reason than when Kelly’s nationwide tour launched in Columbus, Ga. the night before, Cole didn’t show. According to Beyoncé of Hot-107.9’s “A-Team Morning Show” - who told her listening audience she attended the first date - Cole protested the size of her dressing room, and then the fact that she had to go on before Ne-Yo.
Now being on the cover of Vibe and Essence magazines, and having a popular show on BET is is great and everything, but do you think Cole is a bigger artist than Ne-Yo? Is there a song in her two-CD catalog that has had as wide of an appeal as Ne-Yo’s “So Sick”?
And getting beyond that, if you were in the near sold-out crowd, what did you think of the concert as a whole?
