However, if you can overlook the disturbing sexscapades of a guy who still faces child pornography charges as well as Kelly's tasteless tribute there are some worthwhile moments here. "Same Girl," his long-awaited duet with Usher, is an understated, funny, and hugely successful variation on "The Girl Is Mine."
Sure, the decision to focus on the clubs instead of the boudoir as exemplified by tracks like the defiant dance anthem "Rollin'" may alienate some fans, but anyone who's stuck with Kelly through his more serious travails will probably also make it through the overall disappointment that is Double Up.
