Kelis's "Bossy"

I dig Kelis in all but this song is getin' on my damn nerves. They play the video like 10 times a day. Any comments on this song. Do ya'll like it or hate it.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

It reminds me of "Laffy Taffy"--minimalist beats like that.

The first time I heard it I wasn't sure about it, but now I like it. The video is hot too since she's changed her look a bit.....except the part with that green poodle confused kinda corny.

Alot of fans told her this when she did a recent interview. She said we didn't have to like it.

It's #30 this week on the U.S. Hot 100. If a lot of her fans don't like it, then why is radio playing it? confused

Payola must still be working.

Novelty or not, I could listen to "Milkshake" every day.

But "Bossy" = barf

Hmm, it's not too bad. Fun little keyboard line.
But when did she start looking like every other Destiny's Child wannabe. Bring back the rainbows!

Ever heard her first album, "Kaleidoscope"? smile The Neptunes' then-fresh production in addition to Kelis' bizarre physical style and songwriting make it something worth picking up for a good time.

Now about this song.. it's damnably catchy despite being a piece of crap. I hope the rest of her album isn't like it, but I'm not getting my hopes up as she's working with all the producers-of-the-moment, so I remember reading. Abandoning your chief collaborator(s) for the sake of artistic growth is one thing; abandoning your chief collaborator(s) in favor of all the trendy Top 40 flavors (like Missy did with "The Cookbook") is another.

I don't care for Bossy at all. This C.R.A.P. is all the more reasons to get XM now.

The song is ok. It's not Milkshake that's for sure.

Is this the song that starts out with a girl saying "You don't have to love me, you on't have to like me but you must respect me."? I

If so....it is garbage and I turn the station as soon as I hear the first tinkle tink beats of this so called song.

It's kind of annoying. And the video is even worse....she's looking like that Khia chick ("My Neck, My Back")...I thought her last album was really good but this next one might be kind of mindless if it sounds like that.

I like it. It's reaaaaally grown on me. boxed

It's the kind of thing I should hate, but for some reason, can't. Just call it a guilty pleasure.

She looks so delicious in the video that the song is almost an afterthought. Its a cool little song and Short Dog adds his flavor but its nothing spectacular to write home about. Kelis needs Chad and Pharrell like Janet needs Jam and Lewis. I am looking forward to the album though.
