Also, on "comments section" at Top40-Charts.com a friend of R. Kelly written the following comment:
"I've grow up in the same nieghborhood and knew R Kelly before he blew up. I've watch him playing in subway in the Chicago downtown area to playing on the same basketball team with in Hyde Park back in Chicago.

I introduced him to my teenage daughter. I know this man and seen the tapes. It's not him. There is a strong resemblance but it's not him.

People who don't know him personally will say yes because they don't know him up and personal.
When you know someone first hand, then you recognize that personal from all angles.
Innocent until proven guilty."
