love kelis!!
OH PLZ THIS NO TALENT NEEDS TO GO SIT DOWN W/ HER GOLD DIGGING ASS!
STOP TRYIN TO BE THE BLACK GAGA, NOT WORKING.
EVER SINCE GAGA PPL HAVE BEEN COMING OUT THE WOODWORKS TRYIN TO BE DIFFERENT AND ORIGINAL…YET IT FAILS!!!
Not feeling it i’ve got a headache its too much going on
I can see the song growing on me. I love Kelis and wish her the best
I love Kelis,love the song, not so much the video.
You people are foolish. Gaga must be like the anti-christ or something. Ever since this girl came out, no one can stop comparing her to every other artists. WTF? This is absolutely nothing like gaga. The video is very simple, I don’t see how there’s too much going on. I love it cause it’s not trying too hard to be different, it just is. I see the nose ring thing was part of the look for this era, i didnt like it at first but she’s pretty and I like everything i heard from kelis this time around. Good luck and great video.
while kelis may not be the best singer her syle is epic…and rhianna/lady gaga should be grateful their stylists know who kelis is…..
i wann love it …but idk
OH PLZ AND NOBODY KNOWS WHO THE FUK KELIS IS…KELIS DIDNT INVENT SHIIT! SHES A NOBODY, NOBODY LOOKED AT KELIS AND SAID OH WE GOT TO DO THAT…KELIS DID! SHE’S TRYING TO BE THE BLACK GAGA AND ITS AN EPIC FAIL!
GAGA WAS ACTUALLY REAL AND ORIGINAL WITH HER STYLE!! AS WELL AS HER MUSIC.
KELIS IS A NOBODY WITH NO TALENT!!!
GAGA HAS ACCOMPLISHED MORE THAN KELIS IN JUST ONE YEAR!!!
SITDOWN!!!!
Kelis is the first for everything she was the first to rock the short do in the mainstream in that “bossy” video. People stop hating she comes from an artistic family both her parents i heard are “outside the box” people.I wish her good luck because her eccentricity has never been an act
woooooo!!!I came acorss a great hot cougar dating site.
If you put “SEEK” and “COUGAR” together, then you will get the url.
It’s a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to- interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends
The baby on the back scene at the end just melted my heart
THIS CHICK IS TRYIN HER HARDEST TO DO ELCTRO-DANCE MUSIC LIKE GAGA AND BE OUT THERE IN STYLE LIKE GAGA….BUT IT FAILS AND SHE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO DOING HER “MILKSHAKE” “BOSSY” SONGS AND SITDOWN….
HER NON-TALENTED AZZ NEEDS TO GO SPEND NAS MONEY LIKE SHE BEEN DOING….GOLD DIGGER.
this video is great! i know a lot of you won’t understand it and bash it by saying “she lost it” or “it made no sense” but this is one of those videos where it’s left for you to fill in the blanks and interpret it how you see fit. i love how she puts in her baby at the end, tying the song about him in the end. i see you kelis. keep doing you and stay innovative on these chicks!
WHEN WAS KELIS CONSIDERED MAINSTREAM?!?! LOL SITDOWN
THE FIRST TO ROCK A SHORT DO IN THE MAINSTREAM IS NONE OTHER THAN HALLE BERRY AND TONI BRAXTON!!!!
forgot to mention that lady gaga and kelis are totally different artists. yes, they both share eccentric similarities, but they’re original in their own way. kelis is a trail blazer, she doesn’t follow trends and try to be edgy for the sake of being edgy like someone i won’t name. and gaga is epic in her own right. kelis, your body is amazing for just having that baby!
uMMMM @ #2 I dont know what ROCK u done crawled from under..but KELIS has always been known to express her self artistcally, different and EDGY…she has always had a style that has been known to either be “wierd” creative or unique…..waaaaaay before GAGA probably even knew who the hell she was (thats what u call REAL TALENT..not manufactured or MOLDED talent…….so dont get sh*t twisted…do ur homework young blood…..first b4 u run off at the keyboard…lol..
anyways. dont like the song, but the video none the less is KELIS….very original and innovative WITH A BIT OF COMPLEXITY ….such people LIKE RIHANNA AND ESPECIALLY LADY GAGA need to thank MS KELIS for inspiring ORIGINALITY THROUGH MUSIC AND STYLE…..because if it wasnt for the KELIS inspired haircut Rihanna stole she wouldnt be as famous as she is now…or for KELIS BREAKING BARRIERS when she first came out with her FEARLESS ARTISTIC I DONT GIVE A F**K expression certain artist like Lady Gaga wouldnt exist either…show respect when due or just stfu.
UM ISNT KELIS TRYIN TO BE DIFFERENT AND EDGY FOR THE SAKE OF…. JUST TO BE LIKE MAINSTREAM ARTIST LIKE GAGA?! OH PLZ U DONT HAVE TO SAY HER NAME I WILL…KELIS!!!!
SHE TRYS WAYY TO HARD!! AND HOW DARE ANYBODY SAY GAGA COPIED HER….PUH-LEASE!!! WHO IS SHE A NO TALENT, NO BODY!!!
@#9…..ummmm OBVIOUSLY Kelis is a somebody to you because ONE ur hatin a** wouldnt be leavin multiple messages about a “Nobody” and two u wouldnt know as much about this so called “somebody” if she was a “nobody”……idiot….but anyways for my girl KELIS thanks for helpin keep her name relevent….lol…the more attention the better….lol….
why do people love to hate her
its sad really
Ok, PURPLE_GUNZ AGAIN – Do tell…ARE YOU lady Gaga!? If not, you have a VERY UNHEALTHY obsession! Please go sit down somewhere NOW! Man, you must be on her payroll or something, what does she even have to do with this post?!
Now to the ACTUAL topic at hand – the video: it’s very visually stimulating, however, Kelis’ voice and music are definitely an acquired taste…that’s all I’ll say.
@PURPLE…thats right keeep sayin her name…lol…the more recognition the better for her…hate it or love it ur a** is helpin Miss KELIS stay BOSSY AND FAMOUS….LOL…haters always make themselves so damn obvious…..smdh.
how retarted can u be>>> so I guess when KELIS first came out she was inspired by lady gaga??? O wait thats right wdf was gaga then?? *crickets*
well this so called no talent inspired ur lil idols gaga and riri rather u like it or not…..so pity da fool but it is what it is……..
UM EXCUSE ME I DIDNT HERE ABOUT HER UNTIL HER NAME WAS ATTACHED TO GAGA AND THATS SADD THAT SHE’S MORE POPULAR OFF OTHER ARTIST NAMES!!!
SHE SHOULD JUST SIT DOWN SHE HAS NO REAL FANS…SHES AN EPIC FAIL!!!
WFT?! GAGA is brilliant but all she does is get Gay men to style her in all thier creative gear and she turns up and gets fitted. Dont be fool, what Gaga is doing now was done back in London;s east end clubing scene( Boombox) about 3 years ago. Its old shit. All she did was make it main stream.
I love Kelis video. She always been abit quirky and cool + she’s always in london so she know whats up. American have no style period. Why do u think gaga does so well in england cos we make the trends happen firts.
Stop comparing GAGA to kelis. She’snot walking around showing her (u know what) – PERIOD!
so when i first heard the song, i was like, “what the hell?” because it wasn’t what i expected from kelis, but i once i got over my “expectations” i loved the song! it bumps! and i’m a fan of dance music….
this video….
loved it…
so colorful, so eye-catching…. just wonderful….
i like the direction she is going in with this new album and i wish her much success…. i’m glad will.i.am is standing behind her and trying to make her the star that she should be….
kelis can top her now growing success by really killing it with the live performances… cuz since her last two albums, her vocals have been a little questionable… she always had a raspy sound since her first album, but now its “worse” and not the sexiest thing in the world… before i’d compare her voice to toni braxton… now…. ehhh…. i dunno….
so kelis, bang out those damn live performances or these bloggers and readers WILL slay your ass…. your hardcore fans, like me, will just buy the album regardless…
love ya!
It is so sad that it is so many haters of kelis, on june 22nd i will buy her album on itunes. If you do not like kelis why comment, i see no point.
@Purple UMMMM looks like she has plenty of fans to me includin you…because why da f**k r u still on a kelis page if she means nothing to u…I know Mr. Gaga has plenty of rainbow stan blogs for u to be on but instead ur on KELIS becuz u kno ma is the sh*t……..lol…you know ur doin something right OR ur A SOMEBODY when folks that claim “they dont like you” A. take precious time out of there lives to think about u and B. talk about u….lol….all I gotta say is keep up the good work KELIS…u still gottem talkin…which is always a good thing rather its good or bad the point is publicity is publicty and being talked about which helps certain artist like KELIS REMAIN FAMOUS AND RELEVENT….helps highly.
so purple ur hate is appreciated…lmao!
and anybody that has to show theyre damn VAGIN@ to prove to the world there not a man and make lesbo/demonic videos to show diversity to me lacks not only class but TALENT and MORALS altogether…so gaga can kiss my gaga….and KELISes as well lol.
@PURPLE_GUNZ AGAIN
since you praise GaGa so much, go find a blog about her and praise, we dont needf nor want you hear
cause KIelis has always had her own sytle
I like the song, and she looks nice, but what does this video have to do with anything? Well, except for the last 3 seconds with the baby, anyway
Kelis has been like this from JUMP! Crazy dyed curly hair/hair cuts to the wacky clothes… in our generation of music, chick has always been on a different planet. Check your ego by checking the facts. Kelis has ALWAYS been unique but didn’t sell like the others because of the marketing factor and what people latch onto. From “I Hate You So Much Right Now” in the late 1990′s to “Acapella” in 2010! GIMMIE A BREAK. I’m not even a fan of the chick but I know my music history… step your game up children and quit being sheep.
OH PLZ KELIS IS A FUKIN HOEE WHO IS ONLY FAMOUS BECAUSE OF GAGA!!! ONCE HER NAME WAS BROUGHT UP AS BEING GAGA-ISH ON THAY NY POST WEBSITE OR WHATEVERIT WAS….SHE HAS SINCE GOTTEN A LOT MORE EXPOSURE!!
AND GAGA HAS TALENT SWEETHEART, KELIS DOESNT…SHES A LAZY BITCH WHO WANTS TO SPEND ALL NAS MONEY, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO TALENT BUT “TRYIN HARD TO BEE EDGY”
GAGA’S TELEPHONE VIDEO IS EPIC!! SOMETHING KELIS COULD NEVER DO!! A TRUE PIECE OF ART!!! IT WAS ART WHAT GAGA DID, EVERYTHING SHE DOES IS FOR ARTISTIC PURPOSE
KELIS SINGS ABOUT SELLING HER “MILKSHAKE” AND HAS DRESSED LIKE A HOEE ALL THE TIME!
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!lol Man I love this chick! ok kindve to much when it the gold but none the less other then that I love the colorfulness in the vid! And plz stop saying she trying to be like GaGa! She KELIS! sO LOOK FORWARD TO THE ABLUM!
HOT! love the video and her. It’s very refreshing to have her back.
UM YEA KELIS HAS NEVER DRESSED LIKE THIS BEFORE GAGA…SORRY IT TRUE!!!
PLUS SHES FUKIN UGLY..WHAT WAS NAS THINKIN LOLOLOL
@ pURPLE GaGa Vid is not epic, I can’t even watch it! Love the song tho!
Ok obviously its some hater in the room…Also everybody in the music biz goes through changes. We all know this and come to accept this. Matter of fact me as an regular person been through many of them when it has come to my style of clothes hair etc… Now I won’t do this but then again I’m not an artist! So I don’t have to entertain no one but myself but GaGa is no the first Chick do go with wearing short clothes to no clothes like seriously. If you don’t like just say that but don’t diss her or compare her cause this chick is talented. She writes produce and gets paid just like GaGa who I like to listen to as an artist as well but I love to see what Kelis has coming out all the way from the begining until she down with performing.
The song and the video is amazing! Kelis is a true artist with a very unique vision. The end of the video was a nice surprise. Keep up the originality. Great work Kelis!!!!
To all those that say she IS biting/copying GAGA, I suggest you look at Kelis’ old videos: Caught out there; get along with you…now they may not be as extreme as GAGA, but this was in the late 90′s when her first album came out…everyone thought she was crazy, now people forget that she is ground breaking especially for the R&B world.
dope video, dope song. point blank period.
THIS VIDEO IS FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS HOT, I LOVE THE SONG AND VIDEO…..I ALREADY HAVE THIS SONG AS MY RINGTONE. CAN’T WAIT UNTIL I COP THE ALBUM. THIS IS MY KIND OF MUSIC, TO BEGIN WITH. TIRED OF HEARING THE SAME SHIT.THIS GOING TO BE THE 1ST ALBUM THAT I BOUGHT IN YEARS SINCE LUPE FIASCO FOOD AND LIQUOR.
HAPPY TO SEE SOMEBODY DIFFERENT COME BACK IN THE SCENE.
PEOPLE SEEM TO FORGET THAT KELIS CAME OUT WAY BEFORE LADY SOGGY GAGA AND RIHANNA? AND SHE WAS DOING HER THING BEFORE SHE WAS EVER MARRIED TO NAS (I LOVE NAS TOO LOL) SO WHY ARE YOU WASTING YOUR TIME COMPARING KELIS TO THOSE ARTIST. THEIRS NO COMPARISON WHATS SO EVER. DON’T GET ME WRONG I LIKE LADY GAGA UP UNTIL SHE STARTED WORKING WITH BEYONCE, BUT LADY GAGA IS NO WHERE ON THIS POST?
EVERYBODY IS ENTITLED TO THERE OWN OPINION WHICH IS COOL AND ITS ONE THING YOU DON’T LIKE THE SONG OR VIDEO BUT WHY SAY SOME NEGATIVE, HURTFUL COMMENTS? IT’S NOT THAT SERIOUS….YOU LIKE THE VIDEO OR SONG YES OR NO AND KEEP IT MOVING.
GET OVER IT KELIS IS BACK!!!!! IT’S TIME TO GIVE OTHER UNDERRATED ARTIST A CHANCE.
KELIS IS A REAL ARTIST. UNLIKE RIHANNA, SHE ACTUALLY WRITES HER OWN SHIT. WHILE SOME PEOPLE HATING ON KELIS. KELIS IS LAUGHING AT YOU FOOLS BECAUSE SHE MUST BE THAT DOPE, IF YOU WASTING YOUR TIME SAYING SOME FUCKED UP SHIT.
LET’S JUST BE HAPPY THAT SHE’S A BLACK FEMALE DOING HER THING WHETHER YOU LIKE HER MUSIC OR NOT. DAMN SHOW LOVE TO EVERYBODY NOT JUST THE SAME ARTIST WE MOSTLY SEE ALL THE TIME.
Umm, crying shame. It sucks. Good luck to her though.
YOU PPL ARE DUMB
KELIS IS NOT ORIGNAL, SHES NOT A TRUE ARTIST, SHES NOT UNIQUE….
GAGA WRITES AND PRODUCES ALL HER MUSIC, FROM WHAT I SEE KELIS HAD PHARELL DO IT ALL….SHES A NOBODY POINT BLANK PERIOD.
U SHOULD RESPECT GAGA SHE HAS ACCOMPLISHED WAYY MORE THAN KELIS IN JUST A YEAR!!
Kelis is growing on me…nice.
It’s funny because the same people that hating probably watching this video like 10 times lol
THIS SONG VIDEO AND KELIS ARE GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F*** OUTTA HERE.
KELIS NEEDS TO STOP BEING LIKE GAGA????? WTF ARE YALL TALKING ABOUT!!!! KELIS HAS HAD HER OWN STYLE FOR YEARS AND SHE IS 4 ALBUMS DEEP SO WHY DOES SHE NEED TO COPY OFF SOMEONE WHO HAS A ALBUM AND A HALF OUT!?! MAYBE YOU PPL SHOULD YOUTUBE KELIS AND REVIEW HER PREVIOUS WORK BEFORE YOU TYPE STUPID SH*T.
KELIS FAN FOR LIFE!!
laugh out loud laugh out loud laugh out loud
this video is very funny..very entertaining and NOT in a good way.
She succeeds in making herself look like a fool.
I love the song. And the baby at the end was so…sweet.
@PURPLE_GUNZ AGAIN you are really contradicting yourself on here. How do u say that Kelis is a no body but yet you know some of her history ie her working with Pharrell? Kelis has been doing her on thing and marching to the beat of her own drum since the beginning of her career. She has many fans out there that love her music so if you don’t like her that’s only a matter of your opinion which you have every right to. But to say she is biting off of Lady Gaga is ridiculous. How do u compare someone who has been in the game over 10 years to a person that has been around for the least 1-2 years? Check out some pics of Kelis over the years to see her style. Not to say that Gaga has copied her but at the end of the day nothing is new under the sun. Every artist out there is coping someone else in some way shape or form.
YEA AND GAGA’S ALBUM SLAYS ANY ALBUM KELIS HAS DONE
LOLOLOL
HELL HER WHOLE CARERR!!! LOLOL
THIS VIDEO WAS A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING.
I have “kelis was here” still in rotation. She kinda lost me with this sound.
She should have stayed true to her roots.
I LOVE IT!!!1 KELIS INVENTED ALL THIS SHIT WHO THEFUCK IS GAGA???? THAT PERSON UP THERE NEED 2 READ UP ON KELIS SHE BEEN AROUND 4EVA BEEN DOING HER SINCE THEN LIKE WHEN SHE WAS WITH PHARRELL ON STAR TREK OPEN YOUR MIND N CRAWL FROM UNDER YA ROCK WHO DOESN’T NO KELIS??? SHE HELP PAVED THE WAY FOR PEOPLE LIKE LADY GAGA STOP HATING DAMN!! KNOW YOUR MUSIC!
haters are a waste of space and time! like kelis gives a f*ck what u think! stop hatin and get a life. do something with your TIME besides sniffing seats. i bet all the haters ON HERE are ugly disgusting looking trolls,.,..and most likely BROKE! no one good looking or doing something worth while ever hates! u just snitched on urselves!! lmao…the song and video IS HOT! KELIS IS A STAR!!!
Kelis has always been different. I don’t think she is trying to be like Gaga at all.
@ #10…..me 2!
I like it.
KELIS?! PAVED A WAY?! FOR WHO? WHAT?
SURE WASNT GAGA?! PPL LIKE MADONNA, CYNDI LAPOUR, BRITNEY SPEARS, ETC PAVED THE WAY FOR GAGA…NOT A FUKIN KELIS, SHE AINT SHIIT!!! GAGA IS MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN HER!! INJUST ONE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!
KELIS AINT PAVED THE WAY FOR NO DAMN BODY BECAUSE SHE AINT SHIT!!! SHE’S A COPY OF GAGA, ERYKAH BADU, BRANDY, AND Lauren Hill
Who is this lunatic ranting and raving? why are you giving so much attention to a bish you dislike so much?
Anyway, the video is amazing. Werk Kelis! How cute was her baby at the end? loved it.
IF KELIS GETS OVER A 100 AND MORE COMMENTS ON HERE THEN SHE THAT BITCH!!!!!!!!!
HATERS WILL BE HATERS
ummmmm ok?!? I’m not even sure what to say about this….
This is one word………UNIQUE.At least she’s doing her own thing like always.Moving on
