I think out of alot of singers nowadays, Kelis is a rarity. Her sound is quite unique compared to alot of the ‘pop’ of the moment.

Kelis ,i believe,stands for liberation! She is a free thinker and if you properly listen to the lyricsfrom her albums she comments on the state of society and herself. I dont think she should be used as an example for your dissatisfaction with the state of the world in reference to music! What about Lil’ Star and the lyrics “Just keep tryin’”-it is such a lovely positive song and idea. What about “Millionaire”…i feel it’s about just simply enjoying the richness of having friends…the video is lovely.

Milkshake is just a catchy kinky tune and doesn’t take itself seriously. Life as far as we know is impermanent. Joy is the best feeling and so many people need it. If Kelis makes you move, giggle, wiggle………do like Noel Cowardand ‘misbehave!’ Life shouldn’t be spent being so serious.

What you are asking of Kelis is to conform to the molds of a “decent” woman. Everywoman feels differently, and I believe that at some point, most women want to feel liberated, but when they cant, they choose to make others conform to what they currently are. Kelis has a lot of songs that reflect what she feels. Her first album Kaleidoscope, was “dope”, she sang about love, being left heartbroken, and other things. Cos she has a different approach to things do not make her discontent or unhappy and whatever else has been used to label her. I for instance am usually mellow but there are those 30 days during the year when I’m at an all time high or low when I cut my hair off or dye my hair different colors. And I dont think Kelis is doing this to be a sex symbol or to boost her earnings. If she wanted to, she would sing more songs that conform to society expectations like Beyonce – I do love Beyonce, but you have to agree her songs are solely geared for high earnings not necessarily how she feels. Just my two cents. Kaleidoscope is still Kelis’ best album. Seriously the album has many songs about relationships and the problems that come with, and a lot of young girls who have been dumped can feel where she is coming from… By the way Amanda you rock!

I for one, love Kelis.
There’s no need to obsess with what she represents or how young people will perceive her. At the end of the day, she’s representing herself and it’s up to the youth to respond whatever way they feel fit, There’s nothing wrong with her ass shaking/ “provocative” behaviour (whatever you want to call it). People need to realise that perception is everything.
Take it for what it is. Soem people will like it, some people won’t.
All her videos enhance her songs – her music is dope. Keep it up Kelis, do your thing & don’t give a f**k about what people say. Like she said in the interview “no regrets”. Live your life & do what feels right for you. I think everyone would benefit from taking her lead. Peace.

My opinion on her is also a bit split. Actually, I even know a good song of hers, Get along with you:

One could even show the video to a child.

On the other hand, in view of everything else I have seen and heard of her so far, I also wonder why she is doing what she is doing. She does not have to, she has the talent and looks to be a positive star. But so far she is simply embarrassing.

She reminds me of Madonna, I never understood why people like that are so obsessed with sexuality and obscene behavior. What’s so bad about being a decent girl / woman? I don’t think an artist should produce and display anything that would be inappropriate for a child to see.

To all those people here applauding her, turn to Jill Scott instead before it’s too late

Maybe she will grow up, I read she is married now. If only her husband were not a rapper…

Why are you hating? Is your life that wack that you can’t focus on you? Is it that you actually feel bad for you? Do you not like what you see in the mirror? Is your life pathetic? Kelis has a life and she’s not doing post on how you should live yours, maybe you should try to be like her and do something constructive.
