Kelis, "Millionaire"

So I took out my Tasty album today to listen to it on my way to work, and was listening to the best song on this CD, "Millionaire", and I just wanted to say how much I've always LOVED this song! I think this is easily one of Andre 3000's best collaborations. What do you guys think? I STILL have yet to get Kelis' Kaleidescope, which I know I need to do.

I thinks it's an outtake of The Love Bellow...that was scrapped from the album and put of Kelis'. Great song!

Funny. I was listening to this album a few days ago for the first time in a year or more. I think the success of Milkshake - a novelty song that's actually very good - took some of the shine off of this album.

What of hers have you heard and liked/not liked? I can't get into her new album but her first and Tasty are treats.

Me too. Wonderful song, wonderful album. Pity the follow-up wasn't anywhere as good.

Same here. It's one of those that I always listen to 2 or 3 times in a row.

For some reason, "Millionaire" didn't grab me when I first bought 'Tasty', but I went through all of Kelis' CDs again before her show this year and now I really like it. And she opened her NYC concert with it too. Very cool.

I was upset this song didn't get as much attention when it was released as a single. Definitely a gem on that Tasty album.

I have nothing of hers lol I had a chance to listen to the Kaleidescope album and my friend was raving about it and I was excited as hell and I was BORED BORED BORED. She has an extremely mediocre voice and the only reason she's even on the radar is because she's willing to nearly show her vag lol I don't know, people rave about her and I think she's just boring as shit. Maybe I need to buy her albums used for as cheap as possible, that way if I come away with the same impression I won't feel robbed lol

The video was just BORING. This could have been a dazzling video with a high concept (just look at the lyrics) but instead we get some dumbass kids.

I just saw the vid on youtube, cute video but I see why it didnt really get no play.

They werent in it


i now think Tasty is her best CD..next would be Wanderland...Kelis [Was There] and then kelidescope.

Tasy had a sound that was commercial, but wasnt tryin too hard. There were far too many trax on Kelis Was Here and alot of them doesnt seem like she was really in2 them. U can tell how in2 a track with certain artists, and stuff like "Aww Shit" "Weekend" and "Fuck Them Bitches" just examples....
