Fortunate was given to the perfect person Maxwell SANG this song with so much soul, passion and fire. This song is one of his most standout songs and one of the greatest R&B songs ever.
@Godzone I also couldn't believe man that R.Kelly produced such romance💋🌹😩😭 but then again I was happy that it was him who produced this song and this all shows how talented R.Kelly is.😩😭
The words are so relevant even read backwards from worlds vision. Im scared for my own salvation to declare 'ido,l' worship. Not enough knowledge. Yet ONE have I been blessed to know where I may have given even that up-my Soul. Hold. Keep. Cherish. A loss to great I would not wish on enemy.
And people want to shame R. Kelly's music bcuz of his personal life but his music should still be celebrated. If we're gonna shame his music, we may as well shame it all bcuz none of these singers are angels but nothing's wrong with celebrating their gift
Don't get me wrong this song is nothing short of amazing, but is anybody going to praise the direction of this video?! The lighting, camerawork, cinematography is phenomenal.
I'm trying to comb the comments for the meaning of this video... It's so weird but I love it. My interpretation is that room is his world filled with all the beautiful things she makes him feel. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
You Rico...are an ALLSTAR....check the dictionary for the definition. However, you are sooooooooo absolutely correct in how beautifully done...and hasn't been seen since....this video is played out...god speed sir for stepping up to what most mis when look into the past with 20/20 goggles. Good grief... this vid has amazing direction and cinematography... hats off to you for noticing...and allowing me the chance to wear your sight to remember why this added sight makes all the diff for me...and let's not forget the sound...always on top... HUGS TO YOU RICO...U SO ROCK...WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!
I agree, the song is incredible but the cinematography is beyond words, the lighting the effects, the jellyfish and butterfly's As for the meaning in the video... All I know is that she died in that room and he's singing, I can't put it together
The whole song is everything, but the breakdown at the very end of the album version shows the genius of R. Kelly's arrangements. He gets on my nerves. All that talent and he's so screwed up. This is the one song I can't give up. Maxwell slayed this shit.
Happy 46th birthday to Maxwell, who along with D'Angelo, Angie Stone, Erykah Badu, helped to shape the Neo Soul movement that became prevalent in the mid 90's, such a great track
Jodeci? I bought my first two CDs in 1990, Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. But by 14 in 1994, everything changed when i got the Diary of a Mad Band album. Never been the same. 🥰🤟🤘
The Fact that R Kelly wrote and produced this song just shows how talented and how much of an affect he had on music despite how he was as a person lol he was a hell of a musician and performer
"Fortunate" is a neo soul song from the 1999 motion picture Life and was released on the film's soundtrack. The song was written, composed, produced and arranged by R. Kelly and recorded by Maxwell. "Fortunate" was awarded Best R&B Single of the Year at the Billboard Music Awards and Best R&B/Soul Single (Male) at Soul Train Awards. Maxwell was nominated for a Grammy for Best R&B Male Vocalist and also nominated for a Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favorite Song of the Year. The song, Maxwell's biggest hit to date, spent eight weeks at number one on the US R&B chart and peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. It is his first number-one R&B hit, eventually followed by "Pretty Wings" in 2009. According to R. Kelly, Maxwell didn't want to sing "Fortunate". Instead, he wanted to sing the song "Life" - which Kelly gave to K-Ci & JoJo. Kelly rejected Maxwell's idea because he felt that neo-soul singer wouldn't have been believable singing a song from the perspective of a prison inmate.[1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortunate
Thanks for that nugget of knowledge bro. Glad Kelly made the right decision and gave Life to K-Ci & JoJo. Kelly is a musical genius. I remember seeing him on a BET special in 1993 where they followed him and Aliyah around in Chicago. He sang a gingle for McDonald's in the subway using a keyboard, total freestyling. It was/is better than any McDonald's gingle I've heard on TV/Radio.
Thanks for that tidbit of information that I previously had not known but now know because of you. Thank you and give yourself a pat on the back. Peace
You can see he's literally drunken by the music by the way he's moving. I swear no one feels their own music like he does. Also the sexiness and sensuality is UNDERRATED in this video 😩
Maxwell did his thang on this song vocals was on point!! 🔥🔥🔥R.Kelly pen game is strong! I will always appreciate you for your talent! Can't take that away it's God given! 🙏🏼
This song was released in 1999… it's more than 17 years old dikweed, the video was just Uploaded to RUclips 17 years ago. A simple Google search could of prevented you from making this stupid ignorant comment🙄
No matter what messed up stuff R. Kelly maybe doing within his personal life you can't take away his talent as an artist he's simply a musical genius He can take anything and create the hottest track with it.
I really miss this era of music. Everything from the song, to the video, the representation of black love, is just so beautiful. This is so timeless ❤️❤️❤️
But and da timee has changed 2 were Good is Bad & being Bad is Good... So all da mature man that has fallen for da okie doke; can only dream about it... Da End
I believe Prince Roger Nelson would listen to this and say bravo brother Maxwell and you did that my brother you did that..... Much xoxo even if it sounds like my music let's stop hating on each other and show the love
"Never had words to recite" ♡ Everything inside me vibrate to the words of this song and to the beat...the frequency...the height of this high sure is the highest 🎵🎶
2024 Can't believe it's been 25 Years Since this Classic Song and Video. Maxwell is an Underrated Singer/Vocalist and he Deserves his Flowers 🌹🌹. Also, it's 25 Years for the Movie 🎥 "Life" Soundtrack and I Hate to Say It but R.Kelly Wrote This Classic Hit. 25 Years Later Still Dope 🔥🔥
Lyrics Never seen a sun shine like this Never seen the moon glow like this Never seen the waterfalls like this Never seen the lights off like this Never dug anyone like this Never had tasty lips to kiss Never had someone to miss Never heard a song quite like this [chorus] Fortunate to have you girl, I'm so glad you're in my world, Just as sure as the sky is blue, I'm blessed the day that I found you. Never had room service all night Never took a trip first class flight Never had a love affair so tight I've never felt a feeling so right Never seen a winter so white Never had words to recite Never had a flame to ignite And I never sang a song with all my might. [chorus 2x] Fortunate to have you girl, (girl) I'm so glad you're in my world, (I'm so ecstatic baby) Just as sure as the sky is blue, I'm blessed the day that I found you. (It's all about you) Fortunate to have you girl, I'm so glad you're in my world, (Lady.. so.. so so glad) Just as sure as the sky is blue, I'm blessed the day that I found you. (Can you hear the silent child?) Silent child So hope you hear I'm callin out to your body Baby you know just what to do Close the door no interview. (Put yo hands together now) [chorus 7x] (Let em see) (She is my girl.. my world.. my pearl) (And I'm so mighty mighty proud about it) (No shame in my game) (Oh.. No) (I wanna show you off) (I wanna let them know) (Let the whole world know I'm..) (Loving my baby now [2x]) (Ain't nobody) (I said there ain't no lady lady lady better than my baby) (See I'm so mighty mighty mighty proud.. mighty proud) (Babe, it's making me dance) (Making me dance [5x]) source: www.lyricsondemand.com/m/maxwelllyrics/fortunatelyrics.html
Hi Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial. On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people. While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there. I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes. I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?
Maxwell is So Fucking Smooth! This man is on another level. No one could have sung this song like this and R. Kelly the bad motherfucker he is wrote this joint. Two tycoons combine equals a fucking Masterpiece.
Most of his albums and singles go platinum. While it's true he doesnt exist as in everyone's minds like drake or migos, but there is still very much a large following that enjoys his work
@@CharlieXFBA....I have no disrespect to Kelly ....Maxwell is unrecognized as much as Kelly ....I don't get why him n Kelly didn't make music together....it would be today of him and the weeknd made a single together
I love this song so much. And I do believe there is a deep message behind the video. The song talks about how he loves the girl he's with and how he is fortunate to be with her, but in the MV the girl starts off as a barbie doll. Towards the end she is nowhere to be found. So basically what im trying to say is that I think the video reflects how the woman he loved in real life broke his heart and how he wishes he could have that love back.
I think the video message is about his lover and how she committed suicide, but he was fortunate to have her. The "wine" dripping from 0:26 supposedly represents her blood, and then I assume she stepped into the bathtub full of jellyfish seen at 1:25 and I think when he sing "can you hear the silent shouts" at 2:02 she officially died and became a ghost, or memory because you only see portions of her body for the rest of the video. and at 3:29 you can see a little of her corpse still in the bathroom meaning she never left from there, a truly deep but sad video
I was wondering because at the end of the video the girl is lying down in the bathroom like she is unconscious or something at the very end after he says its making me
This song takes me back to high school when I met my first love. This was our song ♥️♥️♥️. Even tho he's out of the picture now. This song will always have a special place in my heart.

I visited my buddy in the hospital. He was unresponsive. This is his jam. I played this and he came out of it

Yes. I love the interlude at the end of this song, only thing (aside from R. Kelly) I don't like about this video.
Yes he's out my Playlist i thought till I realized the perv wrote so much music
Thought R Kelly said he could've read or write, on trial????? IJS
every song he did was a freestyle
Yessss!! The build up to the end was amazing. Maxwell well sang the hell out it too.
He was hitting those angles on the bed. He knew he was eating those shots 😂🔥 I wish someone would upload this video in HD. Its a great visual.

Maxwell put his soul in that song.
His mind, heart and soul is all up on it 🎵🎶

This is it! No artist can touch him such sensual music!!
Right tho sister
jacquel hubbard R Kelly can he the one wrote the song he's the King of R&B
Pike Wayne Deezy I know who wrote it but R- Kelly don't have the sensuality to sing this song the way he did. That's probably why he didn't sing it. 😉
jacquel hubbard lol cooo😎

Prince created this Neo Soul genre..they sound like him.
I believe Prince Roger Nelson would listen to this and say bravo brother Maxwell and you did that my brother you did that..... Much xoxo even if it sounds like my music let's stop hating on each other and show the love
They're both #Gemini's...
i never heard a song quite like this!
I listen to this song every morning to start the day with good vibes
"No shame In my game" - real man
"Never had words to recite" ♡ Everything inside me vibrate to the words of this song and to the beat...the frequency...the height of this high sure is the highest 🎵🎶
Nobody comes close to Maxwell's voice. One of a kind.
"Yess..Mmm Yes SING IT MAXXY MAX"
- My auntie whenever she would play this
As I lay here and watch my man, with this tune playing. All I can say is that I'm Fortunate.
Love this song... i could listing too this song all day. :-)
Busts
If you weren’t around or weren’t of age during the time this came out, you can’t comprehend how serious this song was.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!💯💯💯💯
Talk your shit 💯
2024 Can't believe it's been 25 Years Since this Classic Song and Video.
Maxwell is an Underrated Singer/Vocalist and he Deserves his Flowers 🌹🌹.
Also, it's 25 Years for the Movie 🎥 "Life" Soundtrack and I Hate to Say It but R.Kelly Wrote This Classic Hit.
25 Years Later Still Dope 🔥🔥
Maxwell reminds me of lenny kravitz for some reason especially when he had his hair like this
Because they really are the same. Lenny just went more rock. But he was lowkey neosoul "I Belong To You" and "Ain't Over Till It's Over" display that.
every time I see this it makes me mad lol I listen to some lenny songs but he can't hold maxwell's jock as a songwriter
Gemini energy.
Yes indeed
You know what I too always said they reminded me of each other.
His songs always take me to a happy feeling. Had the biggest crush on Maxwell in high school. He still looks good. Wow !
Lyrics
Never seen a sun shine like this
Never seen the moon glow like this
Never seen the waterfalls like this
Never seen the lights off like this
Never dug anyone like this
Never had tasty lips to kiss
Never had someone to miss
Never heard a song quite like this
[chorus]
Fortunate to have you girl,
I'm so glad you're in my world,
Just as sure as the sky is blue,
I'm blessed the day that I found you.
Never had room service all night
Never took a trip first class flight
Never had a love affair so tight
I've never felt a feeling so right
Never seen a winter so white
Never had words to recite
Never had a flame to ignite
And I never sang a song with all my might.
[chorus 2x]
Fortunate to have you girl,
(girl)
I'm so glad you're in my world,
(I'm so ecstatic baby)
Just as sure as the sky is blue,
I'm blessed the day that I found you.
(It's all about you)
Fortunate to have you girl,
I'm so glad you're in my world,
(Lady.. so.. so so glad)
Just as sure as the sky is blue,
I'm blessed the day that I found you.
(Can you hear the silent child?)
Silent child
So hope you hear
I'm callin out to your body
Baby you know just what to do
Close the door no interview.
(Put yo hands together now)
[chorus 7x]
(Let em see)
(She is my girl.. my world.. my pearl)
(And I'm so mighty mighty proud about it)
(No shame in my game)
(Oh.. No)
(I wanna show you off)
(I wanna let them know)
(Let the whole world know I'm..)
(Loving my baby now [2x])
(Ain't nobody)
(I said there ain't no lady lady lady better than my baby)
(See I'm so mighty mighty mighty proud.. mighty proud)
(Babe, it's making me dance)
(Making me dance [5x])

Lesly Garcia Thanks you for taking the time to copy and paste these beauty lyrics.
Maxwell will hit your soul in his music
Hi
Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial.
On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people.
While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there.
I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes.
I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life.
Can we talk?
When a man say ain't no one better then his baby! He's in love!
Ain't no Lady better then my baby
he has a very unique sound
Indeed
I miss this MAXWELL......😍😍🎶🎶🍸💯
My all time favorite from Maxwell. Can't believe its been 20 years!
I love this song!* I think about my mom that passed in 2006 I was so fortunate to have her in my life
Maxwell is So Fucking Smooth! This man is on another level. No one could have sung this song like this and R. Kelly the bad motherfucker he is wrote this joint. Two tycoons combine equals a fucking Masterpiece.
He's so underrated
Most of his albums and singles go platinum. While it's true he doesnt exist as in everyone's minds like drake or migos, but there is still very much a large following that enjoys his work
Not really...he has a great following....and the real ones know
R Kelly may have wrote this great song...but Maxwell made it a masterpiece 👏
Yes indeed!!!!
R Kelly can hit all those same notes.
@@CharlieXFBA I don't disagree on that brotha ....I feel bad for Kelly ....but its no excuse for him doin what he did ...
@@nathanmartinez5332 We agree on that, but to act R Kelly ain't arrange all those vocals himself is disrespectful.
@@CharlieXFBA....I have no disrespect to Kelly ....Maxwell is unrecognized as much as Kelly ....I don't get why him n Kelly didn't make music together....it would be today of him and the weeknd made a single together
There should be no thumbs down
DONDADA in 2018 there's alot
Those people that gave thumbs down are either racists, trolls, jokers or young adults that listen to trash of today.
I love this song so much. And I do believe there is a deep message behind the video. The song talks about how he loves the girl he's with and how he is fortunate to be with her, but in the MV the girl starts off as a barbie doll. Towards the end she is nowhere to be found. So basically what im trying to say is that I think the video reflects how the woman he loved in real life broke his heart and how he wishes he could have that love back.
I think the video message is about his lover and how she committed suicide, but he was fortunate to have her. The "wine" dripping from 0:26 supposedly represents her blood, and then I assume she stepped into the bathtub full of jellyfish seen at 1:25 and I think when he sing "can you hear the silent shouts" at 2:02 she officially died and became a ghost, or memory because you only see portions of her body for the rest of the video. and at 3:29 you can see a little of her corpse still in the bathroom meaning she never left from there, a truly deep but sad video
I was wondering because at the end of the video the girl is lying down in the bathroom like she is unconscious or something at the very end after he says its making me
2024 and this song is still timeless!
This song takes me back to high school when I met my first love. This was our song ♥️♥️♥️. Even tho he's out of the picture now. This song will always have a special place in my heart.
Me,too.I had a sweet girl back then and we made love to this song.She is not in my life either but it was a beautiful time.
Omg, class of '02!
Thank you, R. Kelly! Love you, Maxwell!
MY R&B ERA IS UNDEFEATED!!!!🤎🤎🤎
2020 and still repeating this song forever in my heart #inlove#fortunate
Maxwell is a legend 💯 hands down
