Well I was always kinda aware that she was more popular in the rest of the world.
But damn. Her only solo Billboard entries are Milkshake of course, Caught Out There and Bossy. :omgwatshappening:
None of the follow up singles of Kaleidoscope charted. :guys:
Trick Me was literally everywhere in 2004. Pop radio played that song owt. Do the American gorls even know that song? :diddraispoot:
And don't get me started on Virgin REFUSING to release Wanderland cause those execs didn't ,,get" the album, which is actually one of her best messes. :flamebroiled:
I lowkey think queen was sabotaged cause ain't no way the rest of the world uses ha except the States.
And Young, I'm gonna SLAP you if you come in here and start praising Rotten Food
It's so bizarre considering how many trends she started. Not them shelving her album :uhh: i didn't know that was the reason it never had an official release here
if you were on here back in the day you would've known
her stan on here Bambus used to get her roasted
Queen is iconic
That's on Period
It's crazy that she is really big overseas and even compared to her counterparts.
She has a huge Spotify following.
And she stays booked with other ventures as well.
Queen >>>
Food is just :stressed:
One of my favorite albums EVER
!!!
Kelis was always bigger here than in the states
I love kelis. it sucks she has been reduced to doing cooking shows and such. she is known more for being Nas baby mama here than anything i think. the fleshtone album is THE ALBUM. of course most black ppl werent gonna like it but she kinda came with that sound before gaga and some others and everyone PAID IT. SN i really need that album on vinyl
Also Kelis was here is amazing as well
only album that isnt good is

im sure she does i guess i mean to say she shouldnt have to rely on that for income when she is a great artist. i know she has some like sauces or something. have you tried any of her mess?

Pharrell and Chad need to apologize to queen for lying to her and collecting her portion of the royalties :hmph:
I will not tolerate any Food slander. One of her best messes
She's over them I think
She has a cooking show on Netflix and everything
Queen gets her coins

Such a beautiful album. The album is truly soul
food
The only Kelis song I remember other than the ones listed is "Get Along With You". I loooooooved that song and video.
It seems like her label didn't capitalize off of the hits she had. They dropped the ball.
Lately I've been playing fleshtone a lot
It is perfect while walking or getting some exercise
Kaleidoscope is also amazing! I remember Get along with you when it first dropped and I've been a fan ever since. So intriguing.
I remember trick me was used on a lot PlayStation games when I was younger. Kelis was here>>>>>>>>
Kelis may not have the strongest voice but she's a great artist who knows her style and never veers away from it ...
Kelis is really not that good.
nsnsnsn
WOO! AMAZE!
Kelis >>>
Trick Me was literally her biggest hit overseas, performed even better than Millshake. I know it flopping in the US has to do with Arista folding, but still it had almost zero airplay. Weird
Yeah, she a pretty big flop. Kaleidoscope and Tasty were actually good albums though. The rest were disasters.

I think the African American community doesn't connect with her because she comes across as weird. Not even cool ass, Erykah Badu type weird, but like whack job weird. I can't speak on her music because I don't know if but imo that's a big part of the general disinterest.

she's no more weird than Badu tbh, her problem was label mismanagement
Kelis def' has cult like status and she enjoys. she's not totally unsung

That shit was truly on heavy rotation.

Food is her worst mess

Guys, "Trick Me" was not part of the "Kelis Was Here" album. lol
But "Tasty" is a great album. I don't think she was consistent.

The Kelis Was Here era was eveiyjig dhdbch

Well, Uglee... a couple folks referenced "Trick Me" and then in the next line praised the underwhelming "Kelis Was Here". Just making sure we know what's up.
That just means your comprehension is shit

But Food is the most different and cohesive to me
The theme, the songs, the organic feel of the music
It's just everything
I don't trust you
food felt like an unfinished labor of love.
it's nowhere near the quality of her previous work, but as a kelis stan i did still enjoy it
