Kelis is a serious risk taker when it comes to fashion and music,we give that credit to Rihanna but Kelis was doing it before all of them.

I don’t understand why is Rihanna being mentioned in this post this is why the post never demands the attention it deserves becasue people are so busy trying to disreguard another artist!!! Anyway the song is just ok at best!

This song is so not hot and it has nothing to do with it not having an urban sound. Kelis does her best work when she is just a feature on a song some of her better songs are features!!! I like the songs “No Security” and “Grey Goose” but they are not Kelis’ songs she is a feature…her voice is limited to the chorus and that is where it should remain!!!

I love this song..I agree that some people on here might not appreciate it b/c it’s not so urban, but wow this makes me want to dance. Like dance non stop. It gives you a good feeling and I love it!! Not depressing just all fun and happy thoughts!! Welcome back Kelis!!

Do you know how to read? I clearly stated that shes FEATURED on those songs.
Well, NO SECURITY is pretty much her song because shes on the whole thing, but shes featured on “Grey Goose”, which she made the song hot.
No one is forcing you to listen to Kelis’ music, if you don’t like it, so be it. She’s not for everybody, but she is incredible and her music is amazing.

Try again.
Kelis has a sliver mullet. Rihanna swagger jacking is La Roux hairdo.
Rihanna will be soon rocking Kelis’ 2009 mullet in 2010 though.
Watch! LOL

KELIS is the TRUTTH!

#13 Trillafood we have to let the haters know who is the BOSS!!!!! Kelie is the BEST in the industry no one can’t get with Kelis not Bey, RiRI, A Keys, Ciara, Keri Hilson, Mary J. Blige, Keyshia Cole, Leona Lewis or Lady Gaga ect. No one is better than Kelis she is slaying all you rejects… She sings better than Bey and Rihanna and looks better than Bey and Rihanna. Kelis hads the GREATEST style in the world. Kelis can cook and her body is like a model and her hair is real and her eyes are not fake and she writes all of her songs and she has more money than all the haters combined. She is so fly that they copy all her styles and not only that ahe is more popular domestically and internationally than those weak losers who copy her. Kelis album has sold millions world wide so get with that HATERS!!!

Kelis was different before different was even in she always on some next shit and thats why i love her. She made a song that appeals to the over seas crowd and the dance crowd cause like someone else said in here thats where the money and the bigger market is. Do ya thang Kelis!

LOL, this song is okay. It’s a great DANCE song. This is really in the genre of dance music and it’s REAL DANCE music, not dance/pop. You would definitely hear these in dance clubs in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, ect and In London, Paris, Milan… This is extremely different coming from Kelis. I like the beat and her delivery on the track, but I don’t care for her actually tone of voice. I do love how back in the early 00’s, she was herself… no gimmick, , no trying to do “ART” to prove that she’s different, it came off naturally. She had her own sound and style. I hated that last album that she came out with though. It was straight R&B bubblegum garbage. She should stick with her R&B and hip-hop roots, but mix it with different club sound from around the world.

i love kelis but not this song. love “scars” though. not her song but still that sing is amazing. and yeah kelis was doing “different” before these industry chicks. she was also before all of the trends while these other females followed the trends and got labeled as being ahead of them (they weren’t so it’s annoying). however, let’s not say kelis created “different” b/c grace jones and many others did different b4 kelis. i love that kelis is so natural with her swag though. i can see the fakeness in certain ppl who are getting praised at the moment

I’m glad that Kelis is returning to a style that better suits her sensibilities because that Bossy trash that she was desperately trying to peddle to the urban market was tragic. One complaint, or several: David Guetta? Really. I do not understand the appeal of this man. There are better DJs that can actually produce for vocalists. And to think that he’s producing Kelly Rowland’s new album. ‘When Shit Take Over…” I’m going to need Kelis to get Mark Ronson’s number.

I like it, but then again I have always been a Kelis fan!….not trying to be funny but a few of these new artist did jack her style. She was different and we audiences have a hard time adapting to change when it comes to music. @ 48 I used to love Mark Ronson..what happened to him??

Ahh love the song. Im ready for a new album!
and for all the lames saying Kelis can’t sing… with kelis its not about her singing, because she dosent do high notes like whitney she stays in her range. i love her voice, her songs are so original and unique, she’s always been in her own category! I wish she could reunite wih star trak, that would be hotness. I swear they would take over the world!

LOVE IT. It has a techno 4/4 beat which has always been the sh!t. I like where she’s going with this. Beyonce planned to do a dance/electro album but didn’t have the balls to see it through. Good to see more and more black artists and fans getting into electronic music.

Welcome back Kelis !!! we’ve been missin your uniqueness.
It’s so funny that all the fashion styles she has been experimenting in 2007 (and since her debuts) is as trendy now as it as never been. i mean short hairs, colors and stuff. As someone mentinned it, her creativity comes out naturally and that’s what we love about her.
We need new fresh air ! tired of Rihanna and the other fakes

i’ve liked some of Kelis stuff in the past, but iDont think this is it. it sounds like she’s singing someone else song…. when she become this lady gaga type artist?
its different when an artist progresses to a new genre, but with this one Kelis went from like hip hop/r&b to pop/dance/electro….
iDidnt really like her voice on the track either.. it didnt sound strong to me. iCld imagine someone like, once again, lady gaga or even britney spears on this track because it fits her type…

Kelis was NEVER R&B..only reason say shes R&B is because shes black. Kelis have never made an R&B album, she has always done dance, euro-pop, techno tracks, even before it became a trend. Everything these girls are doing now, Kelis been there and done it…BETTER. Remember it!
