Describing TITC to anyone whose hasn't seen it themselves is virtually impossible, simply because there's no other art to compare it with (it falls somewhere between a parody of musical theatre, a soap opera from the late 1970s, and a BET version of The Red Shoe Diaries). It almost seems pointless to try and explain the purpose and meaning of Kelly's Trapped In The Closet, his 22-chapter hyper-melodramatic hip-hopera that is mostly a series of short phone calls, revelatory cliffhangers, and confused men who like to point guns at each other. But the core reason is this: even if he is found guilty, R Kelly has made at least 22 other videos that are weirder and more inexplicable than the one where he is said to urinate on a teenager. Obviously, this case is interesting for a multitude of reasons. The singer (predictably) and the girl (unpredictably) both claim he is innocent. Next month in Chicago, R&B superstar R Kelly will go on trial for 14 charges of child pornography, all of which orbit around one principle accusation: according to Illinois state prosecutors, Kelly videotaped himself urinating on a 14-year-old girl for sexual purposes.
