I saw this in the wrecka stow today.



Tracklist:

"Caught Out There"
"Milkshake
"Got Your Money" (featuring Ol' Dirty Bastard)
"Trick Me"
"Lil Star" (featuring Cee-Lo)
"Get Along With You"
"Young, Fresh N' New"
"Truth or Dare" (featuring N.E.R.D.)
"Bossy" (featuring Too Short)
"In Public" (featuring Nas)
"Millionaire (featuring André 3000)"
"Finest Dreams" (featuring Richard X)
"Suspended"
"Good Stuff"

That is a CUTIE.

It's a great collection. No new singles. Still it's a great way to get the Richard X colab.

Songs are censored

How da hell does she have a greatest hits?

I already have the Richard X song on his album. There's no reason for me to buy this at all.

I hate 'Greatest Hits' albums for artists that only have 3 or 4 albums!
what a waste

thekidsgirl said:

I have no problem with that. But she only had three or four HITS.

U can find all of her cds for 2/3 bucks a peice.

Actually, I'm missing the N.E.R.D. song.

It's more of a singles collection. 10 of her 11 singles are represented as well as the collaborations with Richard X, N.E.R.D. and ODB plus the album track "Suspended". Some tracks are the radio edits. I would have exchanged "Suspended" for a track from Wanderland.

Is she fighting with her record company or something?
The album has been out since end february here..& I actually
had 2 order it at work 2 get it instore..there was no automatic
diustribution..which is odd.

Normally this means her contract is OVA.

Graycap23 said:

but even if it's just a contract fulfilment, they'd want to make money, no?

Martinelli said:

Yes, that's the intent of the release. Squeeze that last profit out.

Hmm, I don't think I know Suspended...

If and when she finds a new label, I wonder if she's going to go back to her earlier sound or stick with the Kelis Was Here flavor.

Stymie said:

Excactly what I thought.It's like when Macy Gray came out with a
"Greatest hits" cd.You have to have more than 1 or 2 memorable songs
to make that statement of "Greatest hits"

Those are record company decisions though. Not artist.

I like Kelis...


I play "ah sh*t" all the time.

I saw this, too. Even though I have the albums, I would get it. Good excuse to get rid of "Kelis Was Here".

Disappointing that is it is censored but it is obviously meant for the Walmart crowd since fans would seek out the albums. This is a surprising release since she has been on 2 totally different labels, no?

You know what means? Her 15 minutes are UP!!!!!

Kelis' Greatest Hits - what a joke.

Stymie said:

no shit

thekidsgirl said:

M had only 4 proper albums, 3 if you exclude I'm Breathless, when she released the IC. probably one of the best greatest hits packages ever.

You counted wrong:

1. Madonna
2. Like a Virgin
3. True Blue
4. Like a Prayer
5. I'm Breathless

manki said:

Hello Magnus.

JackieBlue said:

Suspended is on Kaleidoscope

Everyone knows this kind of thing is a contractual agreement. Seems like we go through this type of thing every time. Just based on the charts, she has produced at least one hit per album as well as the stuff outside them

you are correct. take my M card.

ehuffnsd said:

Ain't no big deal

my love is reaal

Kelis was on Virgin all along for Europe I believe. In the States it was always whatever Star Trak's production company was on.. Jive or Arista.
