There are a lot of women at my gigs. The first show I headlined was a sea of women, which I can't complain about. I'm pleased these 18-year-old girls like my music.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always had mostly women come out to see me perform. That's the reason the guys show up; they know R. Kelly is going to draw the women. Most of the songs I'm singing are catering to women anyway.
To come to a concert and hear a lot of songs from a female perspective should not make men say, 'Oh well, that's for women'.
Don't get me wrong, I've seen some very excellent women musicians.
I first became interested in style when I was 16 and I had my first couple of gigs. I realised I couldn't look like the people I was performing to. Not in a condescending way, but just that it would be weird if I was wearing exactly what someone in the crowd was wearing.
When there are no women on the tour it can get awful and ugly - constant horrible jokes and gross behaviour. It needs to be leavened with a feminine presence.
I cannot believe that in all the years that there have been female stand-ups, there has never been a show just for them.
I don't categorize myself. I don't think I'm perceived as a female act by my audience. My fans include just as many men as women.
Although I do feel that with a show like ours we ourselves are getting a lot more young listeners at concerts.
Women's music is underrepresented.
There's no question that many more women artists are showing worldwide now than they were when I was a young woman, and that's really great.
