    The ? is who he is, but he's a free man, how you gone talk about allegations when this man is walking free. He came to promote an album and this ? wanted to turn it into 20/20

    You have to make the choice to take the interviews, or not take them. It's not a federal deposition. Nobody would have known dude was gettin interviewed had he not gotten emotional like that.

    They don't ask Rob Lowe those questions ever though...

    And its been weeks since we've learned sheen has AIDS yet not one interview with one of the women he's been sleeping with unprotected.... If he was black they would have dug three of them up and given some crying ass interview on the today's show...

    On the other hand Kelly is a ? ....so....

    This is my problem with it.

    What Kells was doing is foul, but the media double standard is even fouler. These white folks still pay homage to pedos like Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, ? Wee Herman, etc............

    Oh yea i forgot there are stories of elvis messing with teenagers too..."slumber parties" all that

    Also..........Supposedly his wife Priscilla was 14 when he met her and he was 24.

    By the way, that ? was unnecessarily rude and good call on Kellz to see the negativity coming from a mile away and cut it short. You can tell by the way the ? responded to his compliments that there was going to be no beneficial way to answer those questions.

    A lot of other celebs aren't smart enough to see it coming.

    Gotta know your enemies.

    She wasn't being negative she was asking him about his lyrics and his life. If things you actually wrote and did are considered negative by you to the point where you're ashamed to talk about them you can't really blame the journalist that's interviewing you for that.

    And telling someone you love them in a passive-aggressive way and complimenting their looks isn't really acceptable in a professional setting.

    R. Kelly was behaving like a child.

    yea, taking the high road really didn't make him look no better in that situation

    In all fairness, somebody would have to be naive not to peep the attitude and bias she had. If a guest on your show says they aren't going to answer a certain type of question, why keep asking it ?

    As far as professionalism, it was an album promoting interview I assume - not another trial. I imagine they had already agreed on what questions they would ask ?

    And dude said he loves everybody, this ? act liked he offered her his phone number.

    Ok after watching the entire interview, here's my takeaway -

    The chick could've dropped it 5-7 min. earlier. Dude already addressed the question about the fans half way in. Why is she still asking the question at the end ?

    And Kellz did seem ? (no pun intended) but maybe they agreed on a certain line of questioning, or maybe he's tired of discussing some ? he already dealt with in the past. (IDK) I still feel like just because somebody's interviewing you doesn't mean you have to answer any question they ask you - especially if you feel they have an agenda. Don't like it ? Leave. Left. Done.


    She also ? up by interrupting him, and the back and forth comments at the end, and little snide comments during the interview - not just my opinon, but comments on this topic around the web.

    They supposed to force people to do interviews? You don't think if one of those women wanted to talk a network wouldn't jump at the chance for the viewers that would bring in?

    I see some cats have been swayed by this current climate we live in

    We need a refresher: the interviewee ALWAYS trumps the interviewer

    In a world of Oreillys and Steven A's etc where that line gets muddied of who tha ? the talent actually is, reporters lose their damn mind

    Your job is to ask questions, not interrogate or demand answers. This happens way too much
