While much press was given to the golden showers and sexual eccentricities of the saga’s lead, the lasting dynasty of Trapped In the Closet is owed to the majesty of lead actor Kelly alone. a perfect cross section of R&B, opera, and pop genres performed by one of the most talented and well-balanced artists of all time. Sweeping multitudes of Spin and BET awards, the album was a perfect storm. With over 400 million album sales of that recording since, it's safe to say that Kelly’s Trapped In the Closet is a cult, a religion, and quite possibly one of the greatest compositions in the history of the musical and opera genres. The album was one of the last widespread and successful LP releases, and the LP was the first Urban Opera to enter the charts at a resounding #1. Kelly had already proven himself as the leading modern master of musical composition, and as an immediate blockbuster hit in 2006, Trapped In the Closet would be launched to a perpetual presence on talk television and South Park, as well as hundreds of venues across the world to this very day. It's difficult to describe the religious following created in the mid-2000s by Trapped In the Closet unless you were there to soak it in for yourself. Review Summary: In a manner of speaking, this work of art is a gateway into a world of immeasurable pleasure, intensified by the consumption of gallons of water and White Castle to be strewn henceforth upon any who glide into its ubiquitous presence.
