Kelis. Im sorry yall.
cant wait to hear this…probably sounds worse than the recording…
that voice…
lol I just cant get into her. but hey. its not about ME. She is who she is. hate it or love it. Do your thing chick =)
Love Kelis. Hated the song at first but it has grown on me. Good performance.
She is so weird but it works for her. Its good to be different
I love Kelis and i love what she represents.
She has always been different From…
“I hate you so much right now” and “Milkshake” with the curls
To
“Bossy” with the ORIGINAL Black hair and short haircut
To Now
“Acapella” and whatever you wanna call this new look
She has always been different always been in a league of her own and her own box and that is what i love about her.
She was here before Gaga and Rihanna and has done what thir doing now all before.
LOVE!! This song
GO KELIS
well that was less than impressive but I must say she is gorgeous.
kelis is amazing!
i love the beat to this song, makes me wanna fist pump. lol
What kind of voodoo satanic ritual/spell was she putting on the audience? All that was missing was a jug of blood.
She looks like and is a fool!
I am not in2 all this hating. When u hear ppl. hating and what they say, is a reflection of who they are. Have love in ur heart n not hate. Having said that let me say to Kelis, more power 2 u sister. Cant hate u 4 getting out there, doing ur hustle working @ sustaining urself. U r creative and an interesting artist. Dont mind that ur work may b too abstract 4 some. Like fine wine it opts 4 an acquired taste. Do ur thing. U r beautiful and respect sister.
Love It. Love the song. Feel good music. People are going to hate her and compare her to other people. But regardless she sounded way better than Rhianna will LIVE in a million years so lol. And the mixtape is FIRE by they way. This is a true example of her loving herself and not giving a care about what others think…I bet if this song was on in the club you would be dancing to it so chill…
I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!! GREAT PERFORMANCE…..ALL THE H8TRS KISS KELIS ASS!!!!
That was a pretty nice performance. Look @ the reaction of the crowd.
The crowd didn’t look too enthusiastic about the performance…anyhow I still love Kelis
The crowd looked like what the hell is this? A few clapped but over all the crowd was looking NOT PLEASED and they barely clapped at the end of her performance! She tried her hardest to hit that high not at the end and FAILED miserably!
Im impressed she can really hold a note
She is one of the few willing to take a real risk musically especially out of the R&B / Hip Hop crowd. Reminds me of some of that Studio 54 type shit but futuristic. Nice to hear something w/o some stupid voice efx for a change.If anyone wants to hate please do, it won’t bother me none.
This song goes hard in the white gay scene…. they go in on it……lmao…….I heard it about 3months at blakes and was like who is this but they were going off.. I was like oh ok… now that i hear it live.. i can see it as a hit for her…..And althought it might not do well in the US its gonna be a hit in the european club scene…. Their music is far ahead of anywhere we will be because they havnt been spoiled by the ghetto watered down rap like we have….
She did amazing! Plus, she sounded just like the studio version.
The crowd wasn’t dead as people making it out to be. They were hype.
Oh and her mixtape is the BIZNESS!!!
I cannot wait for the new album to drop in July.
I tell you what…she’s out there working to make a good name for herself so that’s great to see…I wish her and her son the best.
Kelis has always gone against the grain, but not just to do so. She seems to do it b/c that’s just how she is. An artists’ artist. Def not a cookie cutter. This will be a hit in the gay community.
Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site[_www. A G E R O M A N C E com_]—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.
I must admit I never was a big Kelis fan but I love this track! It definitely has an international spin on it and that’s what sells records.
lol…i ddnt notice wil. i. am until 3:55
The crowd looked like they were into more so than other performances on a late nite talk show. @ one point ppl are jumping up and clapping to beat. I even saw a middle age fat white man clapping along. Remember these are not Kelis fans, they didnt come to show to see Kelis they came to see Jimmy Kimmel…and to me it looked like they were feeling the song.
but yeah she did fail at the end w/ that note. lol.
Look @ the crowd @ 2:25…they were so into her performance.
Loved the song and the performance. Was feeling the tribal influence and I definitely love the beat as well as her voice. Visually, it was hot with the colors and lasers. Last Kelis album I bought was her debut but I may pick this new one up.
Love Kelis.
The setting of the performance was cool but her voice…. OMG it sucked! I didn’t know that Kelis sung that bad! I just hate when artists have studio voices. I love the song though.
Rihanna, Lady Gaga and the rest will be rocking the all out Tribal look 3 to five year from now lol
@ 29 I only see gay men in the audience. Of course they would be so into her performance, wishing they were on stage singing and dancing like a female.
She looked a damn fool…and sounded a mess…
Some of you ppl kill me..yeah she’s tryin to be different, but only to sell records.. Take some voice lessons, learn how to hold a note, learn some new mic tricks, something that shows growth as an artist, not jus changing hair and clothes
I’m really trying to get past the personal trifling shit she has going on and focus on her music but its not going so well. I just can’t seem to like her like I used to…
Kelis ROCKED and she didn’t even have a dance break! Voice sounds good like the record that hit already hit #1 in UK. She looks hot and video was fire. Kelis has BEEN putting down this style b4 Run DMC was saying Here We Go.
her voice sounds good until the very end, she can’t hit notes like she could when she first came out, when her first cd came out her voice wasn’t really all that raspy so it sounds shes still tryna make it work for her. the song is still horrible imo but i like her other songs 4th of July and Alive so i might end up buying it.
Yall are tripping like hell! WTF? Clearly that was a dope performance. Yall just hate to hate got damn.
She rocked that out..sorry haters! This is a hit in the club and or dancehall! She did right by getting Will I am on her side he GETS her! I am pumped for her new music!
WERK!!!
wowww i never even knew she could really sing. I hear a voice there. I wanna hear her saaaaaaaaaaaang though. I know she can do it. I’m just asking for ONE r&b song displaying her vocals.
I like it. Not the biggest Kelis fan, but it’s a good song.
OMG! get it kelis!
I was hoping she really brought it with the vocals when she performed this song live, and she did…. because live performances from the Kelis was Here era were questionable….
keep up the good work kelis!
LOVE THE PERFORMANCE AND THE SONG….
SHE LOOKS AMAZING AND THE SINGING WAS ON POINT. NICE AND SIMPLE…
Nice performance ! I love this direction of singing live and not only go to the studio and making clips and bye bye !
The look the voice, it was all good !
