R. Kelly, no video, timing(like the Xtina release months after the performance)
Plus it wasn't a flop... Top 15 hits are flops all of a sudden? Plus it was a moderate radio hit.

It wasn't really a flop, it was an underperformance. Yall dont understand the difference? Uncle did not flop, nor did DWUW. GUY flopped.
Didnt know Platinum singles were deemed as flops now because they missed the top 10. Woo lord some of yall.

It performed fine for a radio/iTunes only single.
Plus I'm sure there's 133 other threads about it. Re

Yeah, well. I changed it since it seemed more abrasive than I intended it to when looking at it in retrospect.

But R.Kelly was one of the best things about the song

1. No PV.
2. No clear "official" version. There's an album version and a single version with two different artists as features.
3. The promo for DWYW was overshadowed by the promo for EVERY OTHER SONG ON THE ALBUM!

The R. Kelly version is my favorite too, but the public is not here for him with the whole scandal.

It didn't flop. It's not the hit it should have been but it didn't flop.
