I wondered if this was a Cafe Society question but it has a factual answer so I came here.

A year or so ago I was accidently watching an awards show when a musical act came on. It was a solo black guy doing some sort of R&B monlogue about catching his wife cheating on him and getting into a fight with her. Then her lover gets involved. Then it turns out the husband has a gay lover. Then the gay lover comes in. All four are yelling at each other and being basicaly chaotic.

The one guy played them all.

Can anyone tell me **please** who the performer was, what show it was on and, on the off chance it has one, what is the song’s name? I have this burning masochistic desire to see it again.

Thanks 🙂

R Kelly - Trapped in the Closet is probably what you’re looking for. Here’s the [full-length music video](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2969374583886026984) for it and I’m sure you can find a live-version of it since I gave the name.

And just when I was starting to erase that horrid song/video from my memory… 🙂

Kick ass! Thank you so much 🙂 As soon as I read the title I knew it was the one.

I’m sorry for bringing it back to mind.
