Funnily enough, I felt like Kelis was too early and ahead of her time when she first came out. She was herself, unique and quite fresh. I didn't even really appreciate her until I reached college which was 5+ years after Kaleidoscope was first released. Her first few albums are certified bangers for my heart. Her style, her signature looks, she was lit. And I think Europe may have appreciated her more than the US but that is just my opinion.
As a Neptunes fan. This is heartbreaking. Her first three albums were everything to me. Men need to stop treating women like collateral. Kelis deserved so much better. Aaliyah deserved better. They all deserved better. These women shaped the culture that we have today.
I am obsessed with this woman😍😍. She was the blueprint for weird black girls like me growing up!!! She lives her life to as she sees fit. Glad to see her doing well❤❤
There is no such thing as a “weird black girl/woman” you’re a beautiful black woman period. Don’t add in words that don’t belong just to make other people feel comfortable. 💫💙💫
She really is. I met her at her first cookbook signing at Barnes and Noble in TriBeCa, New York on Murray St. she was either 7, 8 or 9 months pregnant and looks EXACTLY the same in person as she does on film, print and video. She was FLAWLESS pregnant and I was astounded. You’re absolutely correct. Sidebar: The Whole Foods you’re referring too is in a plaza across from Ponce Market right? It was my first time visiting Atlanta earlier this year and bought some food there. It’s so big there compared to the tiny stores here in NYC
She's eccentric, sexy, and rock all rolled into one Gorgeous Curvy package, i hate when people say your not black enough when you choose to be in a genre of music that fits organically who you are, btw black people started Rock, r&b and maybe even country too, but we never get our just dues once other races start to saturate it and take it over.
You guys did start country music that's why Beyonce sang with the Dixie Chicks, and planet Earth wouldn't have good music if you guys never existed or even fashion for that matter. And you guys also make money for plastic surgeons, all they do all day is copy a black women's body parts and stick it to non-black women all around the World. So black people stop feeling inferior and hold your head up high!
For 80s babies/ kids coming up in the 90s she was our “Rihanna”. Kelis was simply just ahead of her time! So unique & refreshingly unapologetically HERSELF 💚
@@daynadecordesign7958 still, its a untrue reference no matter how you flip it. Kelis's career was weird. Like I thought she was British and she was just some Harlem chick. Her career path was more like Michel'le from death row bc of her 2-3 albums, distinct voice, and abusive relationship
When Bossy came out when i was little i remember my mom and Aunties all cut their hair like kelis and everybody was wanting that short cut style ( Rihanna) Kelis has always been edgy and a TRENDSETTER

I went to her concert in march. That was the first station of the Kaleidoskope 20th Anniversary Tour. She was so down to earth! She sounded even better live, this girl was on fiiiirrrreee! She connected with the audience, shook hands with the fans, told us stories. She was so nervous, because this was her first concert in years, but she put an amazing show! Overall the night was an unforgettable experience, and I am glad that I was there. When she sang Lil Star (my favourite song of her), she sat in front of me and touched my hand. That was magical. ❤️
@@305dadeboi7 this wasn’t for likes, I didn’t even realize that this comment was getting likes, until I saw your notification, I was just expressing my opinion, she is very authentic and talented, I feel like she was underrated, again My opinion, sheesh. Chill.
Love her, she is at peace and didn't get all the surgeries or sold her soul to the industry like your Cardi B's and Nicki Minaj. She is humble, free spirited and living her best life under the radar! You go girl!
It’s crazy black people invented rock , these white rich music execs want to put artists in boxes aka stereotypes to enforce their own racial biases , this is why I will continue to be alt ! I love kelis and stil listen to her today
Met Kelis and Nas during their happier times. They were both friendly and polite. Lovely people who couldn't care less about their celebrity status. "Bossy" was my ringtone 🎶❤
How come MUSIC executives never know how to Market certain artist?? Isn't that their profession to know how to do so? I love Kelis and if she had the backing she could have been on top for a lot longer.
Because they are mostly business oriented people focused on what’s trending or selling at that particular time. They have no idea what to do if you’re different.
K Stephen That makes them bad managers. They should be able to market an artist regardless. They are supposed to make them trend, not follow the trend. That’s true marketing.
Classy Lady One would imagine that’s the way it should be but the reality is it costs a lot of $$ to break a new artist. Labels would rather put less money back into the artist already making them a ton and make a ton more. If artists want to be different they have to do it independently and if successful, the labels will fall in line because they don’t want to miss out on the next big thing. It sucks but actually a much better financial situation ultimately for the artist.
Music exec’s tend not to know the streets or what’s hot, they only know business and numbers. More artists should strive to understand the business so they can more effectively and economically make decisions that best benefit them. I love Independent artists for that.
This why no one really f*ucks with him like that as far as business!

@@beautybynature5556 no, its because she ruined a lot of his business connections. She is a HORRIBLE person. His daughter Destiny spoke about how mean and evil she was to her. Im mad at Nas for allowing her to treat his daughter this way but Kelis is NOT a good person. I also think her attitude is the reason she never made it, if you see her now, she blames EVERYONE but herself. You were linked up with Pharrell and Nas and yet people in the industry only know you as a pass- around? That sounds like a personal problem.

@Sta Sea 😂🤣so says the person calling people names😂🤣. Kelis, did i hurt your feelings? Why don't you go and say Nas threw you against the wall so you can get that money😏😆.
It saddens me that she and the Neptunes may never make music again. They created exceptionally well, together. I absolutely looove the Neptunes. Despite the contract being signed, I wish they weren’t thinkin short term profit. They mislead her. They may have made the money on that contract but imagine working together for life outside of shady contracts. Never pays to cheat someone, I would have gone separate ways too.
I loved Kelis as a teen and I love her now! It was so hard to be weird in the late 90s early 00s as a black girl. I'm glad these kids are allowed to be themselves.
Wow she did not age. Kelis has always been "different" and never one to chase popularity. Glad to see she is doing well I still blast "Bossy" on the treadmill lol
Ladies never take care of a Man financially.. the Man will never really respect u n it’s very masculine to do that . The man will leave u for another woman and take care of her 🙄
Kelis is the epitome of using her agency to curate her own idea of a dream life. I love her, she’s real, loves and knows food! Enjoys traveling to “off the beaten path” destinations and most importantly loves her family 💖she’s an inspiration!
She's like a brown Gwen Stefani and Pink. Was in high school when she came out and never really got into her music then. But watching this video makes me want to revisit her songs and see if it vibes with me now as an adult.
I ENJOY KELIS SHE HAS ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE ONE OF THOSE WOMAN THAT MOST OTHER WOMAN DONT LIKE BUT ONCE THEY GET TO KNOW HER THEY FIND OUT THAT SHES SUPER COOL. IM SO HAPPY THAT SHE FOUNF REAL HAPPINESS IN HER LIFE AND IS MAKING HER OWN MONEY OUTSIDE OF THE "CELEBRITY" WORLD
You can live in private all you want but when you do decide to talk trust and believe you must know and understand yourself because others will create a story out of a piece of information that will have only the bit of truth the rest is made up and entangled to be a part of the storyline. Propaganda sells, that's funny for people who say they don't like drama but is always in the mix of other people stuff but when it is their turn oh how the feelings change and to deal with those feelings and back to doing the same thing is nonsense. Keep the drama coming and then wait for karma cause it's coming again.
I like Kelis but I don't know who is telling the truth when it comes to their son or the relationship. She is a private person, I so believe that she packed her stuff and left...
"Not black enough" is literally something I lived through and heard so many times it's not even funny. I completely understand how it is tottering between the lines.... I feel her pain. 😒
It’s their lost not ours. It’s a shame that if you’re not the color of tar that they would tell us that we are not black enough. Give me a freaking break! My birth certificate says I’m black, not someone with low self esteem who wants to label me and who’s insecure with their own color. Have a great day!
@@ijn1216 Umm, ask yourself why black folks always telling someone that they’re not black enough? We stereotype one another but when someone else does it then we’re offended. 🤦🏽♀️
She was ahead of her time with her unique style. I didn't know Pharell and the Neptunes were shady like that. I bet they wouldn't scam a black male artist or white artist like they did her. smh
Oh wow funny thing same her I heard today on the radio singing Milkshake,and I to was thinking about her as well now,here we are checking out her life on.TH-cam
I absolutely adored Kelis. Was sitting watching the television with my then 4 year old daughter and her song "I Hate You So Much Right Now" came on. My daughter sat there with her mouth gaping and was like, "Daddy, why's this lady so angry?" Obviously trying to explain the song to a 4 year old is no easy feat... 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I'm glad she's doing well. Her first two albums Kaleidoscope and Wanderland contained some of the best song lyrics/production I've ever heard in my life. Her sound was so fresh and unlike anything else on the radio.
I've been waiting on this one. Kelis was too ahead of her time and not a follower. I love her so much for that. I even dyed my hair green because of her. 💚
She's honestly way too cool and unique for the music industry, her authenticity is too strong she isn't controllable. But thats what makes her amazing and what people really connect with, she is real.
@Marvin Bennett marketing executives kill me. Like dude it's your job--give it to me I could LITERALLY market anyone! They don't know what to do with you so they just give up. I would have marketed her as the leader of the weirdo kids and embraced it!
Back when I wrote for a local indie newspaper, I reviewed music. I was so floored by Kaleidoscope that I wrote a lengthy, detailed track by track breakdown, repeatedly exclaiming that everyone NEEDED to hear this. She has a similar energy to Gwen Stefani, Pink, Fiona Apple- she can put deep confessional lyrics together in a way that makes you wanna blast it and sing along. Others just have this powerful neo-soul meets alternative rock meets girl power vibe. I pissed off a lot of people in my review when I said "if a white woman had put this album out, she'd be lionized and elevated". Glad to see her living life on her own terms.
I always had a crush on Kelis SHE IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING...with a unique voice for hip hop in the early 2000...yall petty for using that photo of her in the thumbnail for clicks and views🤔
You know, it was in fact included on the Rolling Stone's updated best albums of all time list. And it was pretty high, like among the top 50. Was a very nice surprise.
I Remember When She Came Out With "Caught Out There" And "I Got Ur Money" When I Was In 9th Grade.... Ppl Laughed At Me Because They Said it Was Weird And I Was Weird. Kaleidoscope Is One Of My Favourite Albums Ever And Still On Regular Rotation.
Nothing “happened” To her. She’s a chef, living out her dream and still going to give us a Music soon. She’s married, she’s happy! She’s still beautiful. Also Nas: lies. He wasn’t paying the rent where they were living and she got an infection notice slap on the door so she and the baby after she had the baby had to leave and find somewhere to live also, on the front cover of that CD. That is just the petticoat. You know the slip? That’s not even the real gown
That's why they made the video, to inform viewers of what happened to her. Now, we know she's a chef, successful business woman, married with another little one and yes, still beautiful.
Kelis has definitely made some very unique and innovative music in the past two decades. Hope she’ll be back one day with new material 🙌💯💃👑
Me too!😊
Nah I'm good on that. I hate when artist come back and disappoint you

Friends or no friends, you can't trust nobody in that music business! Dirty!
Just make sure u hire a lawyer before u sign anything. That's what ice cube done.

I loved Kelis every since she came out. She’s underrated. I still play her first album
Kelis is probably one of the most underrated musicians, hopefully, she will make a comeback.
Yes! So here for this. Kelis looks a lot like her father & ahh interesting origin of her unique name
Yes!
I’m glad she’s doing well. The divorce from Nas took a toll on both of them.
Her song "Circus" written by Marsha Ambrosius says exactly what happened to her.
Like one of my favorite songs by her
@@thinblacknoodles Same!
Super incredible record.
It's such a mantra.
i never knew Marsha Ambrosius wrote that song, the way she was singing on it does kinda have marsha vibe to it.
The fact she didnt make money from her first 2 albums is crazy. Neptunes just said "Well, you signed it" 🤯🤯🤯
I loved that pink hair. I remember i was in college when caught out there. That was played throughout a lot of rooms.
I just thought about Kelis today when I heard "Milkshake" on the radio.
Oh wow funny thing same her I heard today on the radio singing Milkshake,and I to was thinking about her as well now,here we are checking out her life on.TH-cam
One of my favorite songs of hers and "Caught Out There"
Y’all shady with that pic y’all used. She be looking better than that now 🤣🤣🤣
💯🤣
😂
Right:/
We wanted y’all to click 😞😂
@@rrg you ain't shit lmao
I absolutely adored Kelis. Was sitting watching the television with my then 4 year old daughter and her song "I Hate You So Much Right Now" came on. My daughter sat there with her mouth gaping and was like, "Daddy, why's this lady so angry?" Obviously trying to explain the song to a 4 year old is no easy feat... 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Sounds like she finally found her self some genuine happiness ♥️👍🏽.
I'm glad she's doing well. Her first two albums Kaleidoscope and Wanderland contained some of the best song lyrics/production I've ever heard in my life. Her sound was so fresh and unlike anything else on the radio.
I've been waiting on this one. Kelis was too ahead of her time and not a follower. I love her so much for that. I even dyed my hair green because of her. 💚
She's honestly way too cool and unique for the music industry, her authenticity is too strong she isn't controllable. But thats what makes her amazing and what people really connect with, she is real.
I agree
I loved the song Caught Out There back then, it was different from the other music at the time.
I love the songs:
Mars, get along with you, I want your love, caught out there, wouldn't you agree, in the morning, bossy, and milkshake
And 'Millionaire' with Andre 3000 👌🏽🙌🏽
All Flames!!!!
@Sharene D I never heard wonderland actually. Thx I may have to check that one out. Does it still sound good for 2020?
@@Midtown_B ooohhh I'm about to check that one out, I never heard it. I'm later AF 🤣 but better late than NEVER
@Marvin Bennett marketing executives kill me. Like dude it's your job--give it to me I could LITERALLY market anyone!
They don't know what to do with you so they just give up. I would have marketed her as the leader of the weirdo kids and embraced it!
Back when I wrote for a local indie newspaper, I reviewed music. I was so floored by Kaleidoscope that I wrote a lengthy, detailed track by track breakdown, repeatedly exclaiming that everyone NEEDED to hear this.
She has a similar energy to Gwen Stefani, Pink, Fiona Apple- she can put deep confessional lyrics together in a way that makes you wanna blast it and sing along. Others just have this powerful neo-soul meets alternative rock meets girl power vibe. I pissed off a lot of people in my review when I said "if a white woman had put this album out, she'd be lionized and elevated".
Glad to see her living life on her own terms.
Kelis!! You my girl!! Glad to her that you are happily married and successful raising your children🥰😎
KELIS 🥰🙏🏽👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾 ABSOLUTELY ONE OF MY FAVEZ..HER VOICE💃🏽💃🏽, HAIR, FASHION..SUCH A QUEEN..TY 4 POSTN 👏🏽👏🏽💯💯👍🏽👍🏽
I like her. She did that whole 80s fashion thing. I was hoping to see more from her.
RIP Mike Mora and sincere condolences to Kelis in the loss of her hubby.
I used to play the mess out of Kaleidoscope! I loved that cd!
She still looks GREAT.
Technically, he didnt cover her face tattoo he enhanced it by replacing it with her horoscope...a lion..
Kelis is the best I love her music so much I loved her album Kaleidoscope, wanderland, Tasty and Kelis was here 🎼🎶 ❤️
She’s actually on a show on Netflix. They try out weed infused foods. It’s a really good show!
What’s that show called?
What’s it called?
One Popular Guy “Cooked with Cannabis”
TheBayou Witch “Cooked with Cannabis”
I love Kelis so much and will forever be a fan‼️Kaleidoscope, Wanderland, Tasty, & Kelis was here are my favorite albums by her 😩❤️
I always had a crush on Kelis SHE IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING...with a unique voice for hip hop in the early 2000...yall petty for using that photo of her in the thumbnail for clicks and views🤔
Facts. She's Still fine as Phukk
Your videos always give me Life 🥰
Glad you like them!
She would have done really well today. Eccentric personalities are embraced far more today than ever before.
Its funny how everytime an Artist comes out that somebody in their family passes away. ( That Sacrifice)!!
Exaaaactly! Glad you caught that!
Literally thought about her song, “Bossy” and how often me and my sister would listen to it. Crazy.
She’s a LEO... All of this sounds LEOish... especially that ending 👑
I love Kelis, and I pray she is living her BEST life with her family. ❤❤❤
Sadly, her second husband passed away.
I like Kelis and her individuality
My favorite song “I hate you so much right now.” Extremely talented Sistah!
"Caught out there."
Humans constantly change,when we age is when huge transformations occur. Some for the better and some for the worst.
Kaleidoscope is one of the most underrated albums in music period. "Mars" "Suspended" & "I Want Your Love" hmmm...absolutely adore this woman.
Yesss!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 true
You know, it was in fact included on the Rolling Stone's updated best albums of all time list. And it was pretty high, like among the top 50. Was a very nice surprise.
Roller Rink too
I Remember When She Came Out With "Caught Out There" And "I Got Ur Money" When I Was In 9th Grade.... Ppl Laughed At Me Because They Said it Was Weird And I Was Weird. Kaleidoscope Is One Of My Favourite Albums Ever And Still On Regular Rotation.
It's a shame that she is not releasing new songs. Her voice and style are just so amazing
Her Wanderland album goes hard!.. I use to ride high listen to that album 😆🤦🏽♀️😆
Girl is living her life being happy, beautiful and humble. She is doing better than most singers
she’s always been such a beautiful person ( inside / out ) 💜
Nothing “happened” To her. She’s a chef, living out her dream and still going to give us a Music soon. She’s married, she’s happy! She’s still beautiful.
Also Nas: lies. He wasn’t paying the rent where they were living and she got an infection notice slap on the door so she and the baby after she had the baby had to leave and find somewhere to live also, on the front cover of that CD. That is just the petticoat. You know the slip? That’s not even the real gown
It's just a title...
You mean *eviction notice?*
That's why they made the video, to inform viewers of what happened to her. Now, we know she's a chef, successful business woman, married with another little one and yes, still beautiful.
Are you her cousin or something?
@@esh5168 right thats what I was thinking...I think she was living with them when her and nas was together! lol
Wanderland was the first purchase I ever made on Amazon in 2003, and it’s still one of my favorite albums to this day
